PRESIDENT HARRISON, in some OF his re-
cent epeeches, has expressed himself 81
strongly in favor OF American ships to bring
TO this, the products ofother countries. The
fact that Mr.. Harrison, st the same thee,
also endorsed tine Mckinley bill, the openly
avowed ot jsct of which Is TO exclude the i'm
portation OF the products Of foreign coun-
.rles. shows that MIR. Harrison he'd very
poor opinion of the intelligence of his audi
enoes. But not only the words, but the acts
of all the republican leaders seem to be
based upon the ides that the voters OF tbs
country are devoid Of understanding. and,
unfortunately for the latter, 10 many cases
that idea is sustained.

The CHICAGO Tribune, republican, says
Chicago is willing to bear the cost of q cheap
fair, out that If the government desires
more expensive o0e it will have to provide
the requisite money. The New York San

THE Massachusetts republicans, in their
recent State convention, not only endorsed
the Force bill, but gave its reputed author,
Mr.. Cabot Lodge. an ovation. Indeed, all
the republican conventions that have been
held this summer and fall have endorsed
the bill referred to. That they would pass
it if they could, there Is not the slightest
doubt. Ia the face of that danger, the
southern man who talks OF leaving the dem
ocratic, and joining any third party, thereby
weakening the former. reflects little credit
upon his OWE understanding.

What Does it Mean?

We publish in our columns to-day tht
text OF the compromise made at Lafay
ette few days ago, between the Far
mers' Union and the Ants.
The first agreement reads thus: "The
delegates to the Democratic nominating
convention shall be selected according
to Democratic usage by all the White
Anti-Lotteryites and anti-lottery farmer
uniOnists'Of each parish"
Is it meant by the foregoing that none
but Ants and union farmers will be
permitted to vote at the primaries, or is
! 1t meant that those organizations will
make an effort TO have the state central
democratic committee adopt the above
resolution? Is it in the power OF the Or
ganizations that met at Lafayette to
adopt such measures and will such be
maintained and adopted by the state
central committee?
We can really net understand the
meaning of the resolution, as it is not
ttiliidi
will pass this resolution. If not what
will the farmers and ants do? Or if
the committee does accept the resolution
what will the LOtteryites do? 4 bolt or
dual delegation and convention will
undoubtedly he the result.
1t may be that the Ants and Farmers
have consulted majority of the mem-
bers composing the state central Com
mittee, and that they have agreed to
adopt a lottery resolution, and de-
clare lottery uEdemOcratic, and thereby
out the Lotteryites from taking
part in the primaries and in the nomin-
ating convention. But this will force
the Lctteryites to hold a seperate con-
ventiOn and select their own candidates,
and we may we'll expect Il double state
democratic ticket, Or~rather Lottery
and Farmer and Anti tickets. The 81
tuation begins to be complicated and we
fear before the time of the nominating
convention, it will be mass of consu-
sion.

of all that occurs, and five newspaper

A Democratic Vehicle.

! Once there was Democratic Vehicle
on top OF mountain in which the seats
were limited, and as some of the politi-
clans, one in particular, could not get a
seat, dissatisfied and disappointed, he
gave push to the democratic vehicle
which fell down to the foot of the noun
tain in prrcipice, and got a good seat
in the Republican Vehicle which RENAL
ned on top Of the mountain, but he was
only taken half way of his destination.
and left on the road.
1t then became necessary to take thp
poor democratic vehicle out OF the mud
hole below and push it up the mountain
again, and all good and true democrats
who had disgust for Republican ad-
ministratiOn, or disappointment, put
tlleIr sturdy shoulders to the wheels of
the muddy vehicle, and pushed it up the
mountain Qnite successfully, but while
this work was in progress some of those
who claim to be democrats were hum
bees, and now that the vehicle has reach
ed the summit, some of the humble bees
want to get in it, but they won't.
Are those who threw the vehicle
down the bi.l, or those who were steal
ing a ride in the vehicle when It was
being pushed up, and the one who was
hanging on the axle behind entitled to
seat in the vehicle now that it is up hill,
and the Republican carriage is broken,
and can't be repaired?
We guess the drivers Of the Democra-
tic vehicle should be careful, and before
admitting any one to seat, should in
vestigate what he has done good, and
what he has dOne bad, and if he has per-
formed any of the good for which he
claims credit.

The Robertson Murder.

Since the occurrence of this horrible
murder, the authorities assisted by WM
Carlton, a New Orleans detective. have
been assidiously at work trying to get
some clue of murderers.
The day after the murder, a negro
named Lewis Chambers was arrest
ed and placed in the steel cage. The
suspicion against this negro is very
strong.
During the week three more negroes
were arrested and jailed; they are: Au-
grstin Lee, Joseph Gardner and Gull
mare Neveu.
Paul COrmier, a negro who was in
town at eight o'clock the night OF the
murder has disappeared and has not been
arrested yet, although deputies are in
his pursuit and his description sent
everywhere. He is believed to be one of
the principals. His apprehension is on
ly matter of few days.
The officers keep secret all the points
that ara necessary to discover and esta-
blish the guilt of the criminals, and tie
public will be deprived of all such parti-
culars until the work is completed.
The following is Plaquemines, spe-
cial taken from the Picayune, dated the
18th inst: Louis BrOussard, alias Louis
Michel, n negro with a very unsavory re-
and halling from st. Martin
vile, was arrested here late yesterday
on a telegram fr.m the sheriff of the
parish of st. Martin. The charge against
him is not known, but he will be held till
an officer comes after him. It is thought
that he was implicated in the horrible
murder lately committed In that town.

Is He Not the Same War
moth?

We noticed of late that considerable
talking has been done because Gov. War
moth was selected as one of the commit
tee to celebrate the New Court House at
Poin.e-a-la-Hache few days ago.
Some of the papers took occasion of this
to make capital Of it and say it was an
anti lottery meeting, and find fault of
admitting a Republican in the Anti
lottery meeting. WarmOth may be
objectionable TO a good many OF our peo-
pie. who may not be connected with po-
litics, but politicians know best what
they are doing, and if our memory serves
us right, we believe that the same infa-
nous Warm0th WAS received in this
town by the Democrats, in - with open
arms, treated and banquettpd like one
of the greatest and most useful of states
men. Is Warmoth worse character to
day than he was then?
We do rot remember what the object
was at the time that Warmotll was given
such royal reception in this place. but
we suppose politics was the main object,
if he could be used at the time for
the good of the Democratic party.
we do not see why they would object to
him now. We do not believe that War
moth Of TO day is worse than Warmoth
of those dark days.
The whole of the matter is that poll
ties is at the bottom OF it.
