It is most remarkable that though
music is part Of the education Of most
women, and with all their aptitude for
the art and ability in Interpretation, the
sex has never produced a great com
poser, and comparatively few compost
uons that have attained any great pop
ularity. Miss French, a young Irish
woman living in Paris, is an exception,
and another is Miss Hope Temple. a
young EnglishwomHu. The most popu-
larof her compositions Is entitled Mem
cries which is a song Of great depth Of
feeling. It is a pretty glimpse that we
have Of Miss Temples childhood when
we hear Of her living near Dover. where
the gallant i'll starred Twenty-fourth
regiment was CHARTERED.
She loved the soldiers, and they. II
and all, loved her and treated her as a
little daughter Of the regiment. Her
very first composition was a waltz for
the band to play, and as she taught it to
them herself we may be sure that full
justice was done TO the young conductor
and her melody. It was a great sorrow
10 her that this idyIlic episode was fol
lowed by the grim realities Of war, and
that the disastrous battlefield Of IsandhI
wana, in Zululand. was the grave Of
nearly all the brave men who used to sa-
lutte her so gayly when she went in and
out among them. She had little musical
education, and always hated the piano
as an instrument. but success ia song
writing has caused her to advance step

A White Mans Fight.

This lottery contest il white mans
fight, and we serve notice that the mat
ter is going to be decided by the white
men Of the State ut white primaries.
The day has gone, never to return again
when the destinies of Louisiana are de-
cided by negro votes. The Democratic
State convention is going to pass upon
this lottery question, aud put an anti
lottery plank in the platform and require
everybody calling themselves Democrats
to get on that plank or get out of the
party.
The lottery people. when the question
was before the Legislature, declared it
to be question for the white people.
and wanted to submit it 70 them imme-
diately. This the ants declined to do
then. for the reasons, first, that then it
was not question for the people, but
for the legislators, and, second, because
the matter had not been discussed by
the people, and they were not ready for
its submission.
Then the lottery wanted it submitted
ut a special election, which the ants re-
fused to agree to for the reason that the
people. as Il general rule, do not come
out to special elections. But the pri-
maries which send delegates to the State
convention are elections to which the
people come out; an expression then is
an expression of the white people of the
State, and the sense of those people can
always be relied upon when they are
fully aroused to the issues to be decided
and have discussed the matter among
themselves. This they have done. Tie
lottery issue to-day is a burning ques-
ton through the length and breadth of
the State. On every farm, by every
fireside, in town and in country, the
matter has been canvassed, and intelll-
gent discussion has prepared the people
for deliberate action. Therefore let,
them act.-New Delta.
