When You Dance With a Bear Keep
Your Eye on Your Partner"

This axiom Of the frontiersman might
be proftably applied to the present
manner of conducting politics in Lou
isiana.
When man is elected to an office,
that has appointments to give, he soon
finds himself surrounded by all sorts
of people who want fat places fol eth
er themselves or their friends. These
are the bears. They are perfectly will
ing to waltz right throug III the term of
the administration on terms of mutual
friendship, provided they get what
they want, but if they fail, they discov-
er rings, cliques, corruption and all
the evils that the States body is heir
to.
That is just exactly the case in the
present contest.
There is a clique Of politicians in
the State who were the power behind
the throne of previous administrations,
Warmoth and Kellogg not expected,
whose voice in the selection of APP
polntments to office, and in shaping the
policy of the administration has had no
force with Governor McEney.
In his experience he has found it
beneficial to keep his eye on these
bears and he has not allowed to get
him in their embrace.
For this reason they have raised an
awful howl against him. Every act of
his administration has been abused,
misrepresented and pervated in order
to set the public mind against him.
Although, by his wise and prudent
administration of the States affairs, he
has raised it up from a condition Of f.
nancial and commercial dependency
to that of thrift, activity and prosperi-
ty, he has never received a word of
commentator from the crowd of polit-
ical barnacles whom he declined to
at the expense of those his prede-
csssor has appointed to these posi-
tons.
Are such men actuated by Democat-
ic principles If a greed for office at
all times and under all circumstances
be principles, they exhibit plenty of it.
Take these bears one by one and
read the mystic lines on their paws and
you will find each one has personal
grievance. If he has not been an Of
flee hunter for himself he has been for
some one else, or has had some other
little scheme to work that failed to at
tract the bearing Of Governor McEn-
cry.
We believe that Gov. McEnery was
right to keep his eye on them when
they were waltzing around him, and
when the impartial historian writes up
the present administration Sam McEn-
cry will not only receive credit for re-
fusing to place himself within the grasp
of the rings and cliques that tried to
ensnare him, but he will receive the
thanks Of the intelligen tax-paying
people Of the State Sugar Planter.

AS yet none of the full-hedged

two sound reasons can be given as tc
why they do not aspire to that posi-

An Incomplete Revelation.

While Quaker folks were Quakers still, some
fifty years ago.
When coats were drab and gowns were plain
and speech was staid and slow,
Before Dame Fashion dare suggest a single
friZ or curl,
There dwelt, mid Penfeld's peaceful shades,
an o.d-time Quaker girl.
Ruth Wilson'S garb was of her sect. Devoid of
furbelows
She spoke rebuke to vanity, from bonnet tc
her toes;
Sweet red bird was she, all disguised in feath.
ers of the dove,
With dainty foot and perfect form and eyes
that dreamt of love.
sylvanus Moore, a bachelor of forty years
A quainty pious, weazened soul, with beard
and hair OF tow,
And queer thin legs and shufhing walk and
drawing, nasal tone,
Was prompted by the Spirit to make this maid
his own.
AS oft before in meeting time. and, sure of his
request
Procured the permit in due form. On Fourth
day of that week
He let Ruth know the message true that he
was moved TO speak.
Ruth, it has been revealed to me that thee
and shall wed.
/ have spoken to the meeting and the mem.
bers all have said
That our union seems righteous one, which
they viii not gainsay,
So if convenient with thy views, I'll wed thee
next Third-day."
The cool possession OF herself by friend Syl-
vanus Moore
Aroused her hot resentment, which by effort
she forebore,-
tShe knew he was goodly man, of simple,
chiidhke mind)
And checked the word "ImpertinenceP' and
answered him in kind:
"Sylvanus Moore, do thee go home and wait
until ] see
The fact that must be thy wife revealed unto
me-"
And thus she left him there alone, at will to
ruminate,
Sore troubled at the mysteries of Love, Free
VIII, and Fate.

How Cholera is Spread in Egypt.


''To anyon unacquainted with orien-
tails" says Capt. G. d. Giles, Egyptian
consta bulary, land with the people of
Egypt in particular, the utter reckless
ness with which people who are in
health bring themselves unnecessarily
in contact with disease would be almost
incrediblei and the wonder is that an
epidemic of the kind which is now rag
ing, having once started, it should ever
cease while there remained people to be
destroyed by 1t. The incident repre-
sented in my sketch, and witnessed by
two or three officers, is by no means an
exaggerated case exemplifying this.
"a funeral has taken place. The
shell used for conveying the body to

and the people who, if cholera be a
contagious disease, must have become
impregnated with it, mingle with the
