THE SPLIT IN LOUISIANA.

Representative blanchard AIHes Himself to
the Antl-Lottery Wing OF His Party.
The action Of the anti-lottery Democrats Of
y Louisiana In nominating an anti-lottery State
ticket has stirred up the lottery Democrats to
such . point that they are now calling the
anti-lottery people "bolters" and making
strenuous efforts to injufe them In other
States.
"The appellation is most untrue and un-
fair" said Gen. George D. Johnston yester-
day. THE men who met in the State House
Convention were. every one Of them. lifelong

offices In the State. The man placed at the

that on a fair count our people had major

CHICAGO, Feb 3.-Considerable progress
has been made in the matter of locating
the various buildings of the coming
Worlds fair The women's contingent
has expressed strong desire in favor of
the lake front side, in close proximity to
the Auditorium, and, as when the gentler
sex say that they will they generally have
their way, it may be taken for granted
that the women's annex will keep COM
pany with the million dollar art temple
on the borders of Lake Michigan. AS for
the area in South parks, the plans APP
proved as the outcome of the solemn de-
alterations of ten great architectural
minds are even more elaborate than had
been previously contemplated.
The main structure of the agricultural
department will cover nine and half
acres, ten acres additional being reserved
for extensions that may subsequently be
ordered contingent upon the total bulk of
the exhibits that are to be proffered in
the future. Twenty-Five and half acres,
with nine more held in contingent, are re-
served for manufactures, the liberal arts
and ethnology. Only seven acres have so
far been set aside for the b1reau of trans
portation and it's approaches, but ten and
three-quarters additional are held in re-
serve in case that much more space may be
needed, and it is very likely that it will.
Eleven and a half acres have been given
| up to the department. of machinery, and
| here too seven additional acres are allowed
| as leeway. Electricity gets six acres,
mines six, fisheries three and horticulture
| eight and half.
| In each case the figures given represent
| the area that will be under roof, independ-
ent of the immense space that must be
used as approaches. In addition 100 acres
more or less, is reserved for state buildings
and special displays. The live stock men

WEMERELY STATED FACTS.

A few days ago the Tribune stated that
the wealth of this country had increased
"five times faster than the population
during forty years of protection.
We at once proved that the wealth per
capita in this country had increased as fol-
lows in the last forty years, while she
population had increased less than three
times:
1850. 1860. 1870. 1880. 1890.
1891 1898 $3.50 $50 $1,000
The wealth in 1890 is estimated, the census
figures not yet being completed.
1t appeared further, that the wealth of
the United States increased twice as fast
under the first decade of low tariff as it
ever has under the subsequent decades of
protection.
The organ also asserted that the wealth
of free trade England increased only twice
as fast as the population. Whereupon we
quoted the statistics of the increase of
wealth in Great Britain, showing that
under free trade the wealth per capita in
that country is increasing Sl3. Is yearly, as
compared with a yearly increase of So 16
under sixty previous years of protection.
1t was further shown that the wealth per
head in Great Britain is increasing much
faster than in this country, nearly four
times faster according to MULHALL.
The reader Is invited to notice the sub
terfuge the organ is driven to in order to
escape from this last embarrassment:
THE HERALD repeats that during the first ten
years that England came down to real free
trade, the wealth per capita in the United
Kingdom increased much faster than it ever had
before. 1t gives the credit to free trade.
Observe that The HERALD gave nc
''credit" to anything, as there was no oc.
casion to do so. The Tribune had asserted
point blank, that the wealth of this country
increased three times faster than that Of
Great Britain, and we simply quoted the
statistics showing that the wealth of the
English is increasing the more rapidly
For the organ now to admit the fact anl
then endeavor to account for it in som,
other way, is an amusing exhibition o.
catching at straw's shadow.
To the two sets of facts the followins
devious rejoinder is put forth by the organ
Again it compares the relative increase ne
| Capita IN EQRlduu anu Ju6 OulJou oIau6S, Wtlll
the population of England remains just abou
stationary and the population of our countr,
increases about 80 per cent. every decade. AL
such arguments as those are pettifogging.
Observe again that this paper made n
''argument' whatever, but simply pre-
scented statistics that completely over
turned every assertion the organ had made
The organ dares not dispute the correct
ness of the statistics, nor does it dare lie
its readers see any Of them, but tries t
make out that we had presented som
argument or other on free trade.
1t is really amusing to watch the shuff1es
evasions. and twistings the editor of tn
protection sheet goes through in his effort
to hide the truth from his readers. w
find it pleasant diversion to prod an
then watch him.

CLEyELAND's LETTER.

Following is the full text of the etter
written by ex-President CLEVELAND,
which has created such a sensation
throughout the land
E. ELIERY ANDERSON ESQ.,:
My DEAR SRI have this afternoon received
your note inviting me to attend tomorrow even
ing meeting called for the purpose of voicing
the opposition of the business men of our city
to the free coinage Of silver in the United
States l shall not be able to attend and ad-
dress the meeting, as you request, but am glad
that the business interests of New York are at
last to be heard on the subject. 1t surely can
not be necessary for me to make formal ex-
preston of my agreement with those who be-
lieve that the greatest perils would be invited
by the adoption of the scheme embraced in the
measure now pending in2Congress for an unlim-
tied coinage of silver at our mints.
II we have developed an unexpected capacity
for the assimilation Of a largely increased VOL
ume of the currency, and even if we have dem
onstrated the usefulness of such an increase.
these conditions fall far short of insurng us
against disaster. if, in the present situation we
enter upon the dangerous and reckless expert
ment of free, unlimited and independent silver
coinage Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

who assume that the gentleman has injured
his political prospects by this letter are de-
ceiving themselves, hence the Republican

A COMMUNICATION from Mr.. HANDY, chief
of the department of publicity and promo
ton of the Worlds fair, shows that bills
have been introduced in the legislatures of
the various states and territories for appro-
priations for the fair aggregating over four
million dollars. The only bills which have
become laws are those of Iowa, Oklahoma
and Vermont, aggregating $4,000. The
largest proposed appropriation is that of
nlinois-sl, 100000, while California and
Texas propose 100000 each; Minnesota,
New York, Tennessee and Wisconsin $780,
600 each, and Washington $4,000. Yer
mont will give only $1,000, and Kansas but
$4,000. Utah does not appear in the list,
and can do nothing for year yet, when the
legislature will assemble.

To BE ROHBED OF HEALTH

BY pestilential climate, by vocation en-
failing constant exposure, physical over
work or sedentary drudgery at the desk, is
a hard lot. Yet many persons originally
possessed of fair constitution suffer this
deprivation before the meridian of life is
passed. To any and all subject to condi-
tions inimical to health, no purer or more
agreeable preservative of the greatest of
earthly blessings can be recommended than
Hostetters stomach bitters, which inures
the system to climatic change, physical
fatigue and mental exhaustion. 1t eradi-
Gates dyspepsia, the bane of sedentary
brain workers, preserves and restores reg
ularity of the bowels and liver. when dis
ordered from any cause, annihilates fever
and ague and prevents it, checks the
growth of tendency to rheumatism and
govt, and neutralizes the danger to be ap
pretended from causes productive of kid
ney, bladder and uterine ailments. To be
convinced of the truth of these statements,
it is only necessary to give this sterling
preparation an impartial trial
