Cause and Effect.

Never had party better chance to revolutionize state than the Republican party have just had in Louisiana. But Democrats who had property interests threatened by Democratic legislation, and Democrats who hated each other, alike forgot everything in view of the outside pressure that the Republicans brought upon their state. They would not rebel and they would not divide while the alternative was in accepting party which kept up an assault against their state on sectional grounds. As to Virginia, the Republicans made the mistake of allying themselves with dishonesty there As re- 1 gards the whole south. their attitude is enc of sectional hostility. The density of prejudice that is still unconvinced of the | futility, if not of the injustice. of this policy is amazing. Sherman, Chandler and Ingalls, have just thrown away as promis- ing chance to carry three, if not more, southern states as could well have been offered.
 The original tactics in this respect, as originated by Mir. Blaine in 1875. were to disregard the south as voting popula- tion-to abuse it, in fact, unjustly. with view of gaining the north by appeal to spirit of animosity, the remnant of the war, toward that other section. As a cold blooded politicians policy this might have had some reason then. It has none left now. We doubt if vote at the north is to be gained by bloody shirt ap. peals which is not more than neutralized by two votes repelled by such methods. Ordinary sagacity, therefore. should have seen that while everything is repelled al the south more strongly. if possible, thar ever, the time has come when nothing is obtained at the north to offset it. But in grained habit and hidebound prejudice are too much for Bourbon politicians They go on in their old way. This election ir Louisiana is the first response to it.-Bos ton Herald Qnd.l

MINORITY rule,'' they put it,is doubtless very exasperating to the democrats of Connecticut but the Lord will have to devote especial atten tion to this state if the present system of legisla tive representation is done away with, and the democrats of New Haven, Hartford and Bridge port are enabled to wag the entire common weath.-Republcan.
 With all due respect to our contempo rary, we say that it is talking at random which, however, is nothing new or remark able. A democratic mayor has almost suc- ceeded in closing the Bridgeport saloons or Sunday, which under republican admins tration was the best day of the week. The best people of Hartford and New Haven are numbered with the democrats

Now it is Australia that declares "the Chinese must go." A British vessel from Hong Kong, with 26S coolies on board was not allowed to make landing at Mel bourne and had to leave there for Sydney, where it was expected her ebnosrious pas- sengers would also be refused admission. At meeting held at the Melbourne town hall, over which the mayor presided, it was unanimously resolved to demand that the government impose poll-tax of f1O0 upon every Chinese immigrant, with an annual residence tax of e2O. This would be virtually prohibitive tariff on the Celestials

SENATOR JAMES GALLAGHER of New Ha- ven is democrat of over forty years
 standing, and tariff reformer who is not afraid to talk right out in meetin'. ''Why,"
 said the venerable senator to a DEMOCRAT representative the other day, "when I was young man and about to start in busi- ness, I had only $50 capital. With that small amount I went to New York and secured stock of tobacco, which to-day could not be bought for much less than amount of goods now, is more than the entire capital I possessed at that time. J
 According to this argument the poor mans chances of being successful in business will suffer by @ comparison with the times ot fifty years ago.

STITCHING THE STATESMEN.
A Celebrated French Artist Doing Pr0mi
 n>nt Pe0nYe in Washin0tOn.


 A Celebrated French Artist Doing Promi-
 mont People in Washington.
 WASHINGTON, May 7.-Paul Renouard, the French artist, has been making sketches at the capital during the past week, and will bs ,mployed at the same work for several weeks to come. He was brought over here by . prominent New York publishing house speci- ally for this work. He will confine himself to sketches of congress exclusively.
 Catching the expression of the human face Is his great forte. He is sketching all the most prominent individuals and all the most characteristic groups of both houses. The work he has already completed includes h. dividual sketches of Speaker Carlisle, Messrs. Mills Cox, Reed and other leading men, and ! group of the ways and means committee at work. The subjects look rather Frenchy, and the effect is vastly different from the wooden portraits that appear in American newspapers.
 It happened that on Tuesday afternoon the artist went to the senate to sketch MT. In gals, but the only thing he secured was . very vivid and interesting picture of the ex' terior of one of the doors opening into the reserved gallery" The sketch shows [ throng of men, women and children crushing each other, standing on each other, climbing on chairs, benches and all sorts of things, and pressing and perspiring only to catcf glimpse of the interior or to her few syl fables of the speech that was being made With such press upon that entrance the painted inscription above the door, "Re served Gallery" seems quite humorous Tn, roar of that crowd at the door of the gallery was the nearest approach the French artist could then make to the distinguished gentle man whom he desired to sketch, and tt whom so many people were then listening with such close attention.

Driven Insane in a Peculiar Way.

SENECA, Kan, May 7.- Two farmers, named Primley, who live about thirteen miles north of this place, had as an assistant one Althaus. The three got into aviolent discussion concerning the taking of the sacra- ment. Althaus exclaimed, in loud voice, with an oath: .'You think when you take the sacrament, you are swallowing Jesus, feathers and all" No sooner had he uttered the words than he became madly insane rushed about with frightful groans and despite the efforts of the Primleys, escaped and is supposed to be hiding in the woods along the Nemeha river.

A BILL, has been introduced in the senate

A BILL has been introduced in the senate to increase the pension of soldiers and sailors who contracted heart disease in the service, and one in the house giving a pension to all soldiers and sailors who served ninety days and over, at the rate of one cent per month for each day of actual service. Should this last bill become a law, it is estimated that it would require 1,500 clerks for one year to make up the rolls, etc., which would be absolutely necessary

WHEN a duty is lowered there may be a question as to whether reduction of rev enue receipts will ensue. The increased sale of the article upon which the duty has been reduced may possibly increase the receipt. But when an article is placed on the free list there can be no such doubt The Mills bill largely increases the free list, and thus makes @ sure reduction ot taxes to the extent of many millions.
