At this moment oar New o. leans
contemporaries are engaged IN the
work OF refutiug the misrepresenta
tions Of the Chicsep Tribune and
other Western papers concerning
New Orleans and Louisiana. Has it
never occurred to our Crescent City
contemporaries that the simple re
production of some of their articles
and of the memorial of the '.Cen
tnm Committee" throughout the
North would be sufficient to induce
every man at all concerned about
his personal safety and worldly
goods to steer clear Of the Inferno
that II own folks portray in such
glowing colors? We approve a
vigorous refutation of the Western
misrepresentation, but mildly sug
gest a cessation of the red-eyed ar
ticles and pronunciamentos for
which New Orleans is "pecooliar."
-Capitotian-A drocate.
The greatest obstacle in the way
of the prosperity and progress Of
Louisiana is the stupid habit that
a few newspapers have of publish
ing every SANDER that can be cut
from some Northern paper, or ut
tered by some political, sorehead at
home. And When nothing can be
found elsewhere, they do not hest
tate to manufacture an article upon
that subject. Truth, justice, can
dor, honest dealing all must yield
to the base desire of s%landering the
people among whom they exist.

phones which bids fair to revOlu

most perfect system. The clear

in the use Of their telephones is won

on a line twenty miles long. and
a reporter carried on conversation
which was tar more distinct than
for a few blocks with the ordinary
telephones. There was none Of

the Company sells the telephones

BILE BEANS! What a funny name
for a medicine! Nevertheless it is very
significant as applied to the article.
Bile, according to Webster, is "a yell
lowiSh bitter, viscid nausceous fluid,
secreted by the liver" Whenever the
liver does not act properly this fluid is
retained in the blood and poisons the
whole system, and sallowness and misery
is the result. SMITHS BILE BEANS
is a sure cure for biliousness and liver
complaint. Price, 25 cents per bottle.

Will the Thibodaux Sentinel ex
plain the reason why Lieut.. Gov.
Clay Knobloch called upon Judge
Taylor Beattie and requested him
to run for Congress in this District 7
What interest has the Gov. in Re
publican success? Was it not the
purpose of Kidding the bench of
Judge Beattie and thereby make
room for another Democratic
Judge? Does the Lieut.. Gov. want
the place.
-TerrebOnnc Times.
The SENTINEL is authorized to
say that Governor knobloch has
neither in person, or through any
one else, nor in any manner, shape
or form, solicited Judge Beattie, or
any other Republican to run for
Congress in this District.
EFFECT OF THE ATTACK.-In

When TuE GAZETTE published the
names Of the men nominated at the dark
lantern convention in this city, II was
yehemently denied by several Of the lead
ing knights OF Labor that any such ticket
was put up. The organ OF that order,
assuming to speak by authority, made
faint attempt to ridicule The GAzErTE's
expose, and while not fatty denying that
any nominations had been made, strove
to create the impression that there
had been no political action taken.
The impression seems to have prevailed
that blunder was made when the order
went into politics, and back down was
attempted by pretending that no nomina-
tions were made, But after several
weeks of doubt the political element has
decided TO unveil its intention, and the
announcement is now made OF the ticket
nominated by the Dark Lanternites. 1t
is composed Of the same men, with few
substitutions, whose names were given
by THE GAZETTE on the 18th OF May, and
veriies the correctness Of that report.
These gentlemen propose to contest
the election in Tarrant county. They
have selected campaign committee,
which has made an assignment of speak
ers, who are to meet and oppose the
speakers appointed by the Demo-
cratic executive committee It is
no longer possible to say that the
followers of this organization will
fight for recognition inside the Demo-
cratic party. They have already gone
outside OF that party, and have begun
openly the assault that they attempted
secretly. The candidates nominated by
the dark lantern convention, il they ac-
cept the nomination, are the representa-
tives of the foes of Democracy, and can
claim no support inside that party. They
have voluntarily Withdrawn and cast their
fortunes with the enemy, and they must
be looked upon as political enemies by
every faithful adherent TO Democratic
principles. 1t is the part of every Demo
crat TO oppose them as strenuously as If
they were Republicans, without regard to
their previous associations, for they are
in effect a part of the Republican OPP
position.
The Democratic executive committee
are not idle. They are preparing
for thorough canvass of the
county, and complete organization
of the voters. The convention soon to
be held will nominate ticket of repre-
sentative Democrats for Tarrant county
Offices and it will be a ticket worthy Of
Democratic support. Every member of
the party is asked to participate in the
primaries, and make the delegations to
the county convention thoroughly repre-
sentative Of the masses, that the nomi-
nees may be the choice of the greatest
number, With such ticket the Demo-
Gratis of Tarrant county viii have nothing
to fear from an opposition composed of
the incongruous elements that are gath
cred together against them.

THE M0RRLSOM RLLL.

The vote on the Morrison bill destroys
all hope of revenue reform this congress,
Indeed, there has been very little hope to
destroy for several weeks past, since It
was known that the New York and Penn.
sylvanla Democratic congressman had
been captured by the protection interest
Perhaps ii would not be bad thing to
send Republican majority to the next
congress. Defeat would teach the Demo.
Gratis lesson that they seem unable to
learn at less cost
The vote was sectional one as well
as partisan one. Only six Democratic
votes were cast against revenue reform
from the South and West to 1922 in favor
While the great majority of the votes
against the bill were cast by Republicans,
few Democrats from the East followed
Randall's leadership and voted to retain
high taxes, The Republican vote was
almost solid for protection. Only fou
members of that party, representing ag,
rloultura constituencies in the North,
west, broke ranks and stood with the
Democrats.
There is Democratic majority of forty.
three In the lower house OF congress, and
this majority win be held responsible fol
the failure to reform the tariff, Yet the
Democratic party is essentially a low
tariff party, and the Republican party is
essentially the opposite, No reform can
be hoped for from the Republicans II
we are to have reduction of the tariff il
must be brought about by Democratic
votes, or not at all. 1t is unjust to
blame the Southern and Western Demo,
Gratis for the treechery OF few OF that
party from New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio. 1t would be as Just TO say that the
Republicans are not a protective party,
because four OF their members voted for
the consideration OF the Morrison bill.
The enemies of the Democratic party
IN the South will contend that nothing IL
to be hoped for from II in the way Of
tariff reform, A sufficient answer is tc
say that the defeat OF the Democrats
means Republican success, and no one
