An Unseemiy Outbreak.

The Daughters of the Confe-
deracy" of st. Louis have organ
lied grand ball in aid of a home
for INDECENT Southern soldiers.
On the invitation was printed a
little Confederate flag, which has
been adopted as the button-badge
of the United Confederate Vete-
ran Association. This symbolic
design has aroused the ire and an
tagonism of some of the G. A. r.
men to whom cards we're sent, and
they have erupted in regular
erysipelohs form through the
newspaper.
Such terrific Verbal bolts as
"faunting the lost cause in Our
faces" and ''imprintihg the en-
blem of treason and rebellion"
are launched at the dear girls, fast
and fufiously.
In the meanwhile preparation
for the dance goes On, lively SEN
timeht in its favor has been awak-
ened in the breasts of those who
before were indifferent, and the
result promises to be greater So
cial success and bigger return to
the fund for the "Ex-Confederate
Home" than if the SUPERFICIAL
Grand Army heroes had not made
donkeys Of themselves.
The time for flying into IL patfi.

flag that foated over the heads OF
SO many brave Americans whose
valor to uphold it proved in vain
is long since passed. 1t cah be
little, if anything, less than dema

play. And as for the intimatior
that it is en- emblem of any trea
son and rebellion existing in thu

soldiers-that is too absolutely ri
diculous to be discussed.-City

Illegal Full Dress.

An edict, issued by the Mayor
of that town, has been published
in Bar Fleur, France. which, if it
had been issued in Paris, not from
the legal and constitutional au-
thorities, but from the more po-
tent, though impersonal leader of
fashion, might have effect. It is
as follows: "Whereas, respecta-

The McEnery people having the
of the convention elected
their delegates to the nominating
convention, formed the new parish
committee and selected
n member to the state central COM
mittee and adjourned.
The ants who were dissatisfied
at such proceedings remained on
the ground and were explained the
agreement that was made by the
leaders of their faction. that it was
understood that the vote taken
would be a test, and the faction
having the majority would have
the meeting. The ants then de-
clared that they would under no
consideration support candidate
who would be a fotteryite. The
action OF the meeting was then
made unanimous and disbanded.
This meeting has demonstrated
that those who were opposed to
McEnery are bitterly opposed to
the lottery and will continue to
make the fight against the lottery
and all candidate who Are favora-
bic to the lottery, and we were
told that a large number of those
who voted for McEnery are anti
lottery and will vote against the
local candidates who support the
lottery, this latter assertion, how
ever, is a matter that cannot be
discussed at present.

The Children of Paupers and
Criminals.

What shall be done with the
children of paupers and criminals?
In an address, a few days ago, the
chief of police of Chicago, whose
facilities for observing crime
could scarcely be exceeded, declar-
ed that ameng the most fruitful
causes of the increase of crime
were criminal parentage and asso-
citation and the neglect of children
by such parents. This is not a
theory of an original discovery;
on the contrary, it is the opinion
of all who have made a study of
this subject. A child born of cri-
minal parents has milestone
about it's neck in the shape of in
herited tendencies. If left to be
brought up in the midst of demon
alizing associations, there is scar
cely a chance of its being saved.
We have had generations of cri-
minals and professional paupers,
and still they 60 on multiplying.
1t is long swing of the pendulum
from the time of the Spartans,
when the state took charge of the
children at birth and reared them
by strict discipline, to the present
lax age, where the state spends
vast sums of money to take care
of the criminals after they have
become such, but makes no effort
at prevention in early life. And
yet SO strong is the sentiment of
individual rights with us that we
are not able to draw the dividing
line at which the parents authori-
ty shall end and the state respOn-
sibility begin. The strongest
emotion on earth is motherlove
and yet it sometimes Injuries where
it would bless. A mother will
cling to her child whei she CAN
not provide it with food or shelter.
when she has no possible means of
giving it education or training,
and when she knows that to keep
it with her means d future of de-
graduation and crime. 1t is the
animal instinct which cannot un-
derstand that the highest form of
love is that which places the well
fare of the child above all personal
considerations. There is an ele-
ment of sacredness in this instinct
which makes any intrusion an ex-
tremely difficult task. and yet, in
the interest of the improvement of
the race, some way will have to be
found to meet this question I'M
manner that will be just both to
parent and Embellishments

SATURDAY, Dec. s, 1901.
THE CONVENTION.

The mass meeting called by the
Parish Executive Committee of
the parish Of st. Martin for
Sunday the %, Of November, took
place on that day in the town of
Breaux Bridge. The meeting was
probably the largest assemblage
of voters ever held in this parish
before. there being present over
$50 voters.
The questions to be acted upon
were the selection of twelve dele
gates To cast the six votes of the
parish of St. Martin at tho nomin-
ating convention to be held at Ba-
ton Rouge on the Is inst, the for
nation of a new parish executive
committee and the appointment of
member to the state central COM
IN ittee.
Atthe hour fixed, twelve O'Clock,
the forces of both factions, Nc
Emery and Adams, proceeded to a
grove on the east side of the Teche,
the McEnery faction taking place
on the northside and the Adams
faction on the south side. While
the men were in line the leaders
of both factions came to an agree
ment among themselves, to avoid
tumult and confusion. to let each
faction present the name of their
candidate for president, and then
count the men on each side to see
which had the majority, which
would be a test as to which of the
factions had control of the mass
meeting. A committee was select
ed by each faction to make the
count of the men in line, which
count resulted in favor of the Nc
Emery faction by b vote of 479
against 447. When the counting
of the McEnery column was near
ing the end, there was a difficulty
pr some other trouble that caused
n rush of those who had already
been counted. and several of the
members of the anti McEnery peo-
pie claim that those persons went
in the rear of the column and were
counted a second time. But this
assertions is discretlited by others
who say that the vote was correct.
The writer was one of the commit
tee who counted the votes and his
tally correspondent with that of the
other members of the committees,
bat he cannot affirm or deny that
some persons on either side voted
twice.
When the result of the count
was announced, the meeting was
inclined to believe that the vote
was only taken for the president,
not a test to give the convention
to the faction having the majority,
and several persons who were in
favor of the President elected were
not for McEnery, and many who
were for McEnery were anti-lot-
terry and they wanted to have q vote
for McEnery and the lottery Sc
perately, and when this was denied
them, they showed considerable
dissatisfaction.

COMMENCE NOW.

There are people right here in Nevada
who care nothing about silver as an issue
in the coming Presidential race. They
belong to both parties. There are men for
Cleveland and men for Harrison in Ne
vada. The National Conventions take
place in a little over five months. We
care not who goes to either convention,
provided the delegates to both 20 in
structed to accept nothing short Of silver
men as candidates on unequivocal silver
platforms. They should be instructed up
to the point of boiling should they fail
in securing action favorable TO free and
unlimited coinage. Then on their return
ii would be in order for the people, ire
speotive of party, to inaugurate a move
ment having for it's sole object the well
fare OF silver and the State. We can all
unite on silver. All of the mining States
should pursue the same course. 1t Is
time that we began to look to the pro-
motion of our own interests. All Of the
other States do it. And to this end mem
bers of both parties in Nevada should
see to il that no man is allowed to go to
either of the National Conventions who
is not willing to 90 under such instruc-
tions as we have indicated. 1t is time
that the people began to discuss these
matters among themselves. Let the line
be drawn and see to it that none but un.
swerving silver men ere placed on guard.
We are utterly opposed to the people OF
Nevada trailing in she wake Of Eastern
politicians and accepting without a muir
muir whatever the East may choose to
give them. The party that will not give
us silver men and measures deserves to
be spurned with indignation by the vo-
tiers Of this State. If neither party in
their National Conventions gives full
recognition to the just claims OF silver,
then kick them both overheard. II il
comes to that the silver States must in
augurate a policy Of their own. The
place to commence it is ct home and the
time now. Let the people be on the
alert and ready for action when the hour
arrives. This is not 3 partisan appeal.
We address both parties for the common
good and in the highest interest of our
languishing commonwealth. II is not
politics. but silver that we speak for.
Are the people of Nevada ready and will.
| ing to help themselves?

VERY VAGUE,

A New York paper processes to have
established the fact that no free coinage
bill can be passed by the new Congress
over the Presidents veto. II was hardly
worth while TO 90 TO so much trouble.
No q supposed such a thing to be pos
sible. But is il certain that the Presi-
dent would veto a free coinage bill Be-
fore such q measure can be passed it Is
not unlikely that the Governments effort
TO secure an international agreement for
the restriction will have been successful.
Republican Paper.
President Harrison also talks about an
international agreement, and then adds
that the state Of foreign sentiment is not
favorable to such a proposal at this time.
OF course, it is not and never will be. 1t
is to Eugland's interest to keep the price
Of silver down-the lower the better
and she is no more likely to enter into an
arrangement to put it up than a criminal
is to try, convict and execute himself for
murder. All Of the talk about the set
Element OF the question by the concur
renee with the United States, Of Eng
land, Germany and other foreign pow
ers, is the %silliest kind OF nonsense. IL
is only the device of the gold bugs to de
lay action at home. The people Of the
United States have the whole matter 10
their own hands. England must have
silver for her Indian trade, and she mnst
get il from the United States. The only
question is, shall we sell it to her at 33h
per cent discount, or compel her to pay
par for it. This is the whole case in o
nutshell. Free coinage mean par both
at home and abroad.
