~. 10000 il we rccollect right one Of
herleading Acknowledgements wasmoyed
10 remark that the thing had been over
done altogether; that "hali the majority
would have done just US well and would
have looked better
So we might say in regard to this late
vote in louisiana half the amount
would have done just as well and would
have looked n good deal better. We
protest to the esteemed Register that the
Democrats down there are altogether too
jealous.
Now, as we said in the article that has
riled our neighbor, IL thls iarce concern
ed Louisiana alone the Northern people
might not be specially moved by it. But
as a menace to their own vote next No
yember-to the entire Presidential vote
Of the North-it takes on wholly diff
ferent complexion. They can not inter
fere, rs a matter Of course, in the mere
local elections of Louisiana, and if they
could they would not do so. This is
the least of their desires. They want
peace in every part Of our land. But
because they want peace they do not
want fraud. Nor because they want
peace will they permit fraud in the
South to control their vote. 1t is quite
enough for fraud to do its own work
locally in the South. Let it stop there.
1t is not to be permitted to control the
membership OF Congress and the occu-
patton of the Presidential chair. This

ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA, May 1.-The
American traveller when ut last he
reaches st. Augustine, may well take
lodging at IN inn which pleases his
fancy and give himself over to the en-
joyments of the oldest town in America.
Ponce de Leon, bold spirit that he
was, landed upon the coast in 1912. And
as matter Of history the settlement at
st. Augustine was effected some fifty
years before the settlements at James,
town, Virginia, and at Plymouth, Mass
achusetts.
For some three hundred and seventy
five years the town has passed through
a quiet, drowsy period of existence. A
life such as the imagination may easily

the outside world. Under these condi-
tons have lived n people OF mixed race,
without ambition, lacking energy, happy
to-day, careless Of tomorrow.
The history Of the town contains in
it's earlier chapters pages upon which we
rcad the records OF massacre, Spanish
cruelty, Indian barbarity. The town

We are sorry not to be able to speak Of
the Southern political situation ina way
to command the appreciation of our es-
teemed neighbor, the Register Our
neighbor has such n desirable sugar
plum in the insured Democratic vote OF
that region at Presidential elections that
any criticism of the moduS operandi OF
the machine in that section is almost
n personal alIront. Nevertheless facts
are facts, and one Of the facts involved,
viz:-the result OF the Presidential cleo
ton this year, is Of such an exceedingly
serious character that even at the risk OF
stirring up our neighbor We feel con-
strained to remark upon it.
1t seems now that the Democratic ma
jority at the late election in Louisiana
approaches close to $1,000. We have
not seen the official returns, but we are
informed by gentleman fresh from the
soil that the majority is close to the
figure named. Considering the fact that
the whole vote OF the State in 1884 was
only 100, 23G, and that the Democratic
majority that year was only l6,lS9, we
may remark that the growth OF the
party in four years shows progress
that to say the least is something phe-
nomenal. 1t is now apparently only n
simple question Of the rule OF Three as
to what the majority will be in Novem-
Der next. We might state it in this way,
80 MS to be better understood-viz-as
three years and five months of time is to
the difference between l6, ls2 and s., 900.
80 is the seven months remnant of the
four years since November, 81, to the
answer. Or, to state the proposition in
still other terms, We may put it in this
way-yiz-if lG,1S9 majority will swell
in three years and five months to
$1,000 majority, to what figure will s., OCO
majority swell i'll the seven months ad-
ditional.
The increase has been at the average
rate Of LOCO per month since November,
1884, or at the rate of lo,9OOGross, or 100
per cent, per annum. In other words,
ut the rate Of about $50 per cent in four
years.
We know of but one rate of increase
in the United States in excess OF this,
and that was in the celebrated Sixth
ward of New York city-an increase
that was immortalized by Senator Conk-
ling in that celebrated speech of his in
the United States Senate, in which he
declared that the Democratic vote in
that ward exceeded not only the whole
number Of men, women and children in
the ward, "but the whole number Of
men, women, children, cats and dogs in
the ward"
Next to the once famous fraudulent
wards of New York City under the
Tweed regime, come, in these latter
days, the Southern plantations as fruit
full Democratic fields. They can be de.
pended on for any required majority.

bama astonished herself and the world

CONGRESSMAN RAYNoR, OF Maryland,
said the Mills bill was iniQuitous to the
glass interests, and il passed would ruin
that industry. This was all well enough
but Mr.. Raynor asserted that il the
Democratic caucus approved the bill he
would vote for it. That men should
come to this! How can n party made
up of such material be trusted with the
destiny of this country? The words
would be astounding ii they were not
Democratic.

Sporting Notes.

There was a rustling and hustling among
the sports of the city all last week, in antic-
ipation Of big winnings at the contemplated
Morris races, which were to have been held
on Tuesday and Wednesday Of this week,
but vet blanket was thrown upon their
dreamland fanoies, when the news came
from Morris that, on account Of almost q
total lack of entries, the races had been de-
clared off, The trouble with Morris and
other one horse towns is, that they haven't
sufficient sporting blood and stamina to offer
large enough purses to attract horsemen,
and even had they these advantages, the
season is fatally inopertune for horse racing
anyway.
Billy Meyer, the Streator wonder, defeat.
ed Dan Needham, the Minneapolis light
weight, in twenty'round glove fight at
Minneapolis. on Tuesday evening last. 1t
was the toughest and hardest battle tina.
Billy has yet participated in, and Needham
proved himself so nearly his equal that the
fight was much in doubt until after the six
teenth rounds. Billy was in town on Tues
day and carried two dark compl ectioned
eyes as an evidence Of his hard battle Alt
Kennedy, Billy's manager, has offered to
match him against the Minneapolis man for
a finish fight with skin gloves, any rules,
for 81, 900 q side. As Billy now understands
his man, he will have an easier time in the
coming fight, il the match is made. He won
over $4,000 for his hackers in the last fight,
besides the money wsged outside, which
amounted to $ls. 900 more.
Billy Hemmerle, Of this city, is fast de.

The peculiar Interpretation of Christ's
teaching made by Count Tolstoi and his
example In renouncing his former militia
~, social and literary habits of life for the
life of Russian peasant, have made as
deep an impression on the thought of the
time as his great novels. Is this the prop
or Interpretation of Chrlst's teaching and
is the Christian world In error? Cannon
Farrar has answered this inquiry In re-
view of Tolstoi's writings and religious
faith and manner Of life In an essay, which
has both literary and deep religious In
