Of the courts until the legal questions which have

It's rather surprising to hear that Bamaeeda whose
ectaoriaI career was foreshadowed in The Tribune
early as July, 1890. has escaped across the Chlo-
Argentine frontier instead Of having taken refuge
board an American naval vessel. STILL the Buenos
Ayres report may reasonably be doubted. IN view Of
the story given in "The Herad,' whose dispatches
regarding the Chilan revolution have been accurate
But II the quotation, "AnQuando dormitat Homerus7

N Chin has really succeeded in crossing the snowy
Andes and has taken refuge In the Argentine Republic
he will tarry there long; for he is hated there, as

Ration Ronpe Advocate The New

Baton Rouge Advocate: The New
Orleans New Delta of Wednesday
makes very urgent appeal for the
colored vote against the lottery amend
ment. Another prominent newspaper.
of the same side, the st. Landry Clarion,
made similar appeal last week. The
anti-lottery people are evidently
bidding for the negro vote. As to the
propriety Of such step, the Advocate
has no comments to make, but we call
attention to the fact that it works an
estoppel against all future complaints
if the pro-lottery people accept the
ballots of colored voters in behalf OF
the amendment. We believe that most
of them are at least Indifferent to the
issue, regarding it as one that should
be settled by the white people, but
when the election comes round many
of them will vote and their ballots
should be respected and counted, as
much for one side as the other. Hon.
Murphy j. Foster, speaking for his fac
ton, once Indignantly rejected a pro-
position to leave the decision to white
primaries, and it begins to look as il
he had taken counsel of his fears, and
he and his friends prefer to rely on
the combined vote of both races. In
this they will no doubt also be disap-
pointed, but it is clearly their privilege
to try it.

to redeem the pledges made. Mr..
Hardesty then made speech, and ex-

sent to subscribe for the Vidette, edited
in part by Mr.. Lafargue. [Oblivious of
the fact that his own local paper was
eking out a precarious existence for
want of proper support.] Some did
subscribe.
In a social point of view, we are
told the meeting was a pleasing sue
cess. Those present had superabund-
ance Of nicely prepared edibles and
patronizing appetites. Not the half of
the good things served, was consumed
on the ground.
The Farmers always furnish an
abundance on such occasions, and if
anything could be added to their en-
joyment, it possibly might be found in
a discussion of the chartered objects Of
the Alliance.
