The Concordia Sentinel is for straight
Democracy and it regards the Alliance
as nothing else than Il political foe uf
Democracy. 1t says:
1--WE do not believe that the Alliance
is now nearly so strong in Louisiana as
it was before its secret political ohjrcts
had been fully revealed. To other
Southern States too we are happy to
notice that it is rapidly disintegrat ting,
in spite Of the persuasive elnqueDce and
the alluring promises held out by the
Pniks, the McCunes, the Burkitts and
others of the same stripe and caliber.
This is as it should be, because its pur-
poses are nefarious; its teachings per-
nicinus, and its success would be the
greatest calamity that could befall the
South. We will probably have the
same fight to make in this State that
was made in Mississippi, where the
monster was sauecbed, and We trust
that it will be WaRed just as vigorously,
vaIiantly and as successfully as it was
done iu our sister State. George led

in Mississippi; who will be the leader
in the fight against it in Louisiana 7"

Our Reason for It.

We have been asked more than once
why the State Democratic Committee
adjnurDed without taking final action
on questions which formed the subject
matter of Its deliberations.
We assign rs our reason, that the har-
mony aud unity ut the party were men
aCed by the disturbing temper of the
members belonging to the Farmers AL
lance and their cUadjuto!s, the ants,
aud that desiring, first Of all, to pre-
serve these, 1t WAS cuusluered prudent
and therefore advisable to first exhaust
all honorable means to prevent the dis
ruption of the party.
The antis were SO desperate in their
purpose to make the lottery amendment
figure as an issue in the primaries for
the election of delegates to q nominat
ing convention, when they knew that it
was not u party question, that the ma
jority resolved to prevent its Injection
as such. They saw, US all the country
sees, that the aDtis are willing to haZ-
ard the harmony. unity aul success of
the Democratic party on the question
Of the revenue amendment alone. The
old guard Democrats are determined
that the Democracy of by-gOne years
shall not lie adulterated by the Infusion
Of issues foreign to the principles Of the
old party. They we're determined to
do all they can to preserve the unity of
all those who have heretofore stoud iu
line under the Democratic banner, and
to throw the responsibility of destroy
ing it on the shoulders of the antis.
We hope that reason will at last prevail
and ip the near future induce the
Farmers Alliance and the non aspiring
antis to unite with the Old Gnard in
maintaining and perpetuating the har-
mony and unity of the Democracy. All
side issues shoul.i be left to the free
dom of the ballot. as their decision
either way cannot and should not im-
pair the strength of the party.

pcliberation Before Action.

There Is much to be said in favor Of
wisely doliberating before acting.
Doubtless many rash deeds are peS-
formed, bringing all sorts OF unfortu-
nate consequences in their train,
simply for the want OF a little refec-
ton; and others, that would have been
OF the utmost benefit to mankind, have
never seen the light from the same
cause. Yet, while this is true, there is
kind OF deliberation much practiced
which Is nearly always pernicious in Its
results upon future action. 1t is that
which puts aside the first instructive
perceptions of right and wrong, specu-
iates upon them, doubts them, subjects
them to processes Of casuistical reason
ing, and generally ends either by SC
clouding the mental vision that no dis
tinct course is visible, or by actually
making the worse appear the better
cause. Much Of the wrong-doing OF the
world is the fruit OF this kind OF delib.

that such unexplained and questionable
actions on the part Of his father gave
him grave apprehensions that he was
not the man Of integrity for which he
passed IN the eyes OF the world. He
made no further illusions, however,
until late in the evening when he and
Mr.. limerick we're sitting in the rooms
OF the latter The conversation had
turned on .Eugene's friends, the De-
laros. II was Eugene who first m9n-
toned them and IL he had been more
observant he would have noticed q
strange look pass over his fathers face,
which almost seemed like an expression
OF fear. He told his father all about
the accident which threw him across
the path of the Delaros, and he spoke OF
Armida in such terms Of praise that his
father felt constrained to say: "You
seem to have soft place in your heart
for this lovely creature whom you de-
scribe"
"She would soften any ones heart" "
responded Eugene.
Mr. limerick did not betray In words
any knowledge OF her OF whom Eugene
spoke until Eugene continued: "You
ought to SEQ this lovely girl She is
the most beautiful woman ever saw,
and as pleasant in her manners as she
Is beautiful in form and feature"
"What did you say her name wasp
asked Mr.. limerick, unconcernedly.
"Armida Delaro."
"Why, that is the name OF young
lady whom | met at Long Branch last
season." said Mr.. limerick.
Doubtless the same person, for they
spent part OF the season there, and !
think Mrs. Delaro said that she stopped
at the West End Hotel"
"Then she must be the same, for that
is where | met her. There was with
them an Englishman named Lovel and

eyes, have heard the N speak OF the
Englishman," said Eugene, "and Mr..
Wilcox ! knew very woll myself. lie
died only short time since and left
all his wealth to this Percy Lowell"
"a dead man can not have much use
for money" mused Mr.. limerick, while
aloud he added: ~ wonder what will
become OF 1t all?"
ut will doubtless find an owner somt
day. Eugene responded.
''It would be a very comfortable sun
for o poor fellow to get hold Of, ant
would enable him TO dispense with thu
necessity OF resorting TO vulgar labo
for the rest Of hisnatural life, said Mr.
limerick. ~" f't
Turning his eyes directly towards
Eugene's face, he asked: What woult
you do, Eugene, II you were possessed
Of such sum as that fortune repre-
sents?v el tl- p.fb
Propose TO Armids Delaro as frs
STEP" was the answer. i..s
"And II she refuse you, what then?
asked limerick.
SIN that case the money would Civ
mo very little pleasure, for there Is n
other woman on earth whom l woul'
care to marry" answered Eugene.
"Tfyou had that amount at your bacl
you would not be long In finding one
anyhow" was Mr.. Emericlx's next re
mark. Then as Eugene did not appes

ward him and whispered. How woui

"About Ave Thousand francs" an.
swered Eugene.
"That is but small sum. Twill ad-
sahte it to you in the morning and you
can tide over your trouble" After
these words Mr. limerick was quiet for
some moments. Eugene thanked him,
but otherwise made no reply. Having,
as it seemed, got his thoughts into
shape, limerick leaned over the table
and speaking in a low voice said; "Eu-
gene, I have something to tell you
which may affect your fnture ifnot told
at once"
"Indood what is it9' inquired Eu-
gene. Nothing serious, / hope?"
Without cny further reference to the
nature of his news, Mr.. limerick said:
''Your mothers recent acquaintance
with me camo about as you know, in
rather extraordinary manner"
"Yes, so have understood" said Eu-
gene.
"As yod must know sooner or later, l
may as we'll relate the circumstances to

to speak of the occurrence at the dock
yard gate in Brooklyn and the subse-
quent interview at his rooms in New
York. When he got to the point
where his wife again recognized him he
said: "Your mother made no mistake.

dropped the wine glass he was raising
to his lips on to the table and ex-
claimed: Then why did you change

mother an answer to that question and
for the present must decline to answer
you. When the proper time arrives
you shall learn my reasons" This was
all the satisfaction which Mr.. Emericl
gave. Eugene was mystified beyond
measure and hardly knew what to say
in reply, but he contented himself will
observing: well, you may have goot
reasons but it seems to me like unneces
sary mystery between father and son."
'In due time it will all be explained
to you," said his father. Still Eugene
was full OF grave suspicion. He ha'

CHAPTER XVII

When Eugene awoke the next day his
mind was full OF the follies OF the one
which had passed before II, and In his
sober moments he soon came to the
knowledge OF the fact that he had fool
ishly placed himself in an un'
pleasant predicament from which 1t
would take considerable sum OF money
TO extricate himself. The amount OF
his debts was not very large sum In
the eyes OF many, but Eugene had not
been possessed OF wealth long enough
to consider the sum 1t would take TO
settle with his creditors as an insigni-
ficant amount He disliked very much
to accept the proffered assistance OF Mr..
limerick, but he saw no alternative, as
he must have the money before the even
ing Of the next day or risk arrest
During the evening he met Mr. Emer-
ick and, as they sat at one OF the little
marble-topped tables In a cafe near 70
the Grand Opera House, he broached
the subject OF his difficulties. His
listener seemed almost prepared for 1t
Tor he asked In moments "How much
