LOUISIANA'S SUDDEN GROWTH.

st. Louis Globe Democrat
The New Orleans Democratic
journals declare that it was the negro
vote which gave Louisiana to the
bourbons in the recent election
The negroes were not bulldozed thi.
year, nor were they so Indifferent n.
to stay away from the polls. The
colored brother, indeed, impressed
with the Importance Of the contest
turned out in full force AMI voted -
the Democratic ticket. THIS tale
may be true, but, all the same, the
average Caucasian outside the State
will be skeptical on tina, point.
We have not seen the official
figures of the vote in the State, nor
do we know whether or not they have
yet been made public. The frs. es-
innate OF the majority was from 20.
OoO to 10000. This was increased to
C),ooo fsw days later, and suisse
quen.ly placed at $4,000. Whether
it will be left at this figure or raised
to 100000 or 10000 we have no
means of knowing. 1t will strike
most persons, however, that a majority
OF $4,000 is somewhat capacious when
1t IS remembered that the entire Dem.
ocra''c vote in tho State for Cleveland
IN 1850 vas but G2,529. The R,nnb
!'cans must have poled few votes
IN the State this year. Warmo,h,
the gubcrnational nominee Of tina;
party, Imagined that he was making
moderately lively canvass, and there
are evidences that several Republicans
appeared at the polls in Ori1ans and
lew other parishes and deposited their
ballots The question now is, W nat
became OF those ballots?
Tho vote in the Parish of Rari,'es
Is placed at about 1000, nearly al!
democratic. The Democratic vote in
ttapides in 1884 was just l,4S, All
Tue aggregate vote of the parish
1877. This year, however, Rapides
appears to have poled considerably
more than twice as many votes, ana
almost all of them are bourbon.
Was tbs election Of Gen. Nichols Of
so much more Consequence than the |
election Of Grover Cleveland that
ltap'des should feel ,mpelled to nearly
triple its vote to bring it about?
In increase in population Dakota
has been assigned pre.emnence
among the States ana Territories in
recent years. But if the increase of
votes In Rapides has all come from
In expansion III population, then the
ratio OF growth of that parish is at
east twice as great as that of tie
average county in Dakota. So far as
we can learn there have been no great
gold or silver mines discovered in
lfap'des since November, 1884, nor
las Cl-veland's election had onv ex.
''lera'ing effects upon its industries
beyond those felt IN the other par.
shes. The conclusion, therefore, is
irresistible that the growth of RapiIes
has been shared bv the remainder Of
he State. If these assumptions are
"g.'mate, the census report Of 1890
vii show that the empire State of
ne Union is not New York, but
louisiana.

Avenging the American.

Among the many stories OF Robin
Hood exploits OF Bernal the Mexican
bandit, is one of how he avenged an
American. Up in adeep gorge beyond
San Dicmas an old man, an American.
was stopped one day by a lone horse
mar and ordered to give up his watch
and his money. "Who are yOu? ask
cd the traveller. 'Eraclio BernaI.' was
the response. Then the old man didn't
say another word. but handed over
all he had, the robbcr also taking his
horse.
A little farther down the CANYON the
traveller, ploddng along on foot, met
four hor~emen going up. How does
it come" asked the leader that an
old man like YOU IS walking in these
mountains?' The pedestrian repled
that Bernal had just taken his horse,
watch and money. Did he say his name
was 'Bernal?' You wat here 81 1t
the man, and he quickly disappeared up
the canyon. Presently he returned.
bringing everything that had been
stolen. Here j. your horse. watch
and money!" he said; 1.-THE man who
took them lies up yonder, dead. He
was not Bernal. | am Bernal.' The

marked that he would need more 10

a JAPANESE CLUBHOUSE.
Romantic Origin of "The Maple
IIouse'-A Bevy OF Beauties.

Romantic Origin of "The Maple
House'-A Bevy or
The Maple House is one of the select
clubs OF Japan. to which only the high
er classes are admitted, SAYS a Toxic
correspondent of The san Francisco Er-
aDliner. My influential fr end came in
to play again. and | had the pleasure
Of enjoying its entertainment. The
history of the club is founded upon the
fact that some years ago sOmebOd
carved Il piece Of wood IN some fantastic
shape, and placed it i'm a beautiful lake
neat by. Shortly afterwards it was
noticed that this carving had sprouted,
and they planted it on a hill aljoining.
where it llouri,hel and formed a beau
tful grove. The autumn foliage Of these
maple trees is a most beautiful SIGHT,
and quite different from anything |
have ever before seen. In fact. this
impresscs YOU about every tree YOU see
in Japan that YOU have seen i'm other
places. IL improves IN appearance n
seems of p|retticr foliage. Amid TIA ;
grove stands the Maple House. built
and furnished i'm Japanese style. and Of
large size. The doctor had heard me
admire some of the pretty girls in the
tca-houSes, and said he would show the
"AmericanO' some heaut as. and one
who could talk English. He then took
me to his club. and as we approached it
asked if We should sit on the porch or
20 inside. Having a holy horror OF 90
inc b%aretooted and having cold feet, |
selected the porch, but changed my
mind and went inside. In Japan il you
wish To call a servant, YOU do 50 by
clapping hands three times, which
brings them from all sides. IL was very
evident that some time during his LIE
the doctor had bccn an old ,tager. rs he
was most heartily welcomed by all. They
finally brought cushions for Us to SIT on
timely embroidered with maple leaves.
The tea service, walters. glus-es, AL
were decorated tin maple leaves. The
cakes and candies were all in the shape
of and represented autumn leaves IN all
tintS. Very pretty and charming Young
ladies were IN attendance, with com
plcNlOns "a clear rs alabaster-uOt laid
on by the bottle, either-their beauty
being only marrcd 10y the ~red-pantcd
lips. They waited on rs very culelF,
but yet the doctor WAS not satisfied and
kept sending for "Conny.' who finally
came. She spoke Engi sh in the sweet
est tones. We were served by the
young ladies on their knees, and look
ing 50 swcetly that | not only mashed
"Conny," but also the other three. All
japanese girls are very modest and
bashfuI. and my American style OF
MASKING nearly paral yzed the young
danes. Passing around to the front ]
began to realize the swell crowd | was
in by seeing the carriages and hacks,
with all sorts of coats of-arms and lv-
erred servants literally covered with

Complimentary to Mr.. cofrman.

At their meeting, last week, the Dem
ocrats of Elm Mills township paid a
worthy compliment by passing the fol-
lowing resolution:
RESOLVED that we instruct our dele
gates and ask that all other delegates
to the Barber county convention to
earnestly work for the nomination of
B. +. Coffman as a candidate for the
legislature as a fair representative of
the laboring Glass;
Mr.. Coffman could have received the
nomination; but in letter which he
placed in the hands of friend, a dele
gate to the convention, he positively de-
clined to accept the nomination, giving
as his excuse that his business would
not let him give any time to the canvass
or to the Office were he elected.
Mr.. COffman will last, however. and
unless we are greatly mistaken. the
time is not far distant when he will be
taken up by his party and given an
honorable and lucrative position.
