THE OLD FIGHT.

Louisiana politics now run on the lot
terry line. The election does not take
place till next April, but the candidates
promises to boil long before the day of
election. The governor and nearly the
entire corps of officials are to.be elected;
also, popular vote is to be had upon
the proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition extending the charter of the lot
terry. The present governor has been a
big thorn in the side of the octopus, and
the fight on it has been led by and appar-
emily confined to the Democrats. There
is no Republican party in sight, and the
lottery will be the only question in
volved in the election. 1t will make its
great effort first to capture the Demo-
cratic state convention and control
the nominations. Should it sue
coed, the anti-lottery element will
bolt and put up another ticket.
From the outside it looks like a hercu-
lean,if not Impossible task, to defeat the
lottery, as it has money in any amount
to buy support with. 1t is stated that
it will put million dollars into the
fight, mainly to buy the votes of the ne
groes. There are about as many of
these as of the whites, and the political
education of this element has not been
on the high ethical lines. At least, the
lottery management will be disappoint-
ed If it is unable to manipulate the col
ored vote with its money. The Farm
ers' Alliance has about $4,000 members,
who are counted nearly solid against the
iniquity. 1t will be somewhat of
a surprise if money does not pre-
vail against probity and decency.
The notable feature in the situation is
the evident confidence of the lottery
management i'll its ability to withstand
all warfare from without, or by the gen.
eral government, if it can hold its place
in the state. 1t has, no doubt. been
greatly injured in business by being
shut out of the mails, and it is under
stood that the express companies refuse
it service. How it can successfully
continue its ramifications of the coun-
try is not apparent, but it would not pay
it to make so costly a fight for existence
if it could not manage to clrcumvent
the distractions put in its way. In a
political way it may so demoralize par
ties in the state as to make it uncertain
in the then pending presidential cleo
ton.

came down the valley with terrible

above the town. The houses in the
lower part of the town were carried
away, and many people had narrow

two children were left and they are all

Five bridges near the town were carried

LOCAL CURRENCY.

Apropos of summer, few ST. Paul people
realize the very pretty places within easy
reach of town. The country aboUnds in bits
of exquisite scenery. There's Shadow Falls.
Everybody goes there occasionally, but when
you go, turn to your left when you leave the
car, avoid the clatter of spoons in the payil-
ion and the presence of spoons of the quiet,
soulful Sort You will find the bank of the
river steep, but the coloring of the picture
before you will more than repay you for the
climb. The river always has the faintest
transparent purple haze, and runs the rapids
with faint fiicks of snowy foam. Here and
there brown log floats laziiy along.
+
Shadow falls have a legend. Longfellow
immortelized Minnehaha, and it remains for
some Western poet to make Shadow falls ia
nous before modern improvements drain all
the water off The Indian name of the water
fall is Observation-Disclosures OF Water. II is
related how the lover of the Indian maiden
Wenoa Nehuidah by name, was slain by
jealous rival; but at the prayer of the maid
en-, who watched at her dead lovers side for
days, both she and Nehuidah became springs,
from whose waters Shadow falls come The
jealous lover became large rock, which
still lies in the stream. The maiden's father
coming in search for her. saw only the fall :
ing water. and tn ought t her doeskin mantle
waving in the breeze. don't believe the
legend myself, but it is very good legend,
for all that, and it further says that lovers
vows pledged over Minnesheena will never
be broken.

Everybody knows the road to Fort Smelling
but few people ever go IL the fort by the,
West side river road. One sees the quaint
town of Mendoza, remembers that ST. Paul
used to be described as near Mendoza" and
is ferried across the Minnesota under the
frowning walls of the picturesque fort.
If one drives out beyond Dayton's bluff
down to Oaklands and beyond, one ascends
the bluffs by long, gently sloping roadway.
Half way up the hill is kind of tavern where
ginger ale is sold. The house is veritable
Swiss chalet built against the hard, hewn
sand of the bluff, and makes one feel de-
lightfully foreign

Americans are the most SLOPPY people on
the face OF the globe. They dream, and talk,
and think Of nothing but business. Even the
children have the mania. In these warm
summer days, all along the uptown avenues
one sees fearfully and wonderfully con-
structed booths, at which young persons in
the first decade of their existences sell cool
ing drinks at shamefuly exorbitant prices.
Lemonade ginger ale and pop are their
stock in trade The lemonade is SO weak it
needs a stick 10 hold it up, and the same bit
of peel does duty in several different glasses.
Even the pop is adulterated. Still it is very
hard passer-by who will not buy.
Dayton avenue, especially at its Grotto
street end. is the parade ground for all the
bicyclers of the city. The long stretch of
smooth, gray asphalt is simply irresistible to

riding ne arly every evening. A number of
young women ride, aud small boys on veloci-
pedes are as thick as mosquito bites on the
face of summer tourist.

There is really nothing in the world more
erratic and strange than the average church
choir. 1t usually has such sublime con-
tempt for the feelings Of the con gregation.
Last Sunday evening went to a church in
town where the hymns are pri nted on slips
of paper. NOW, must confess i am not SO
well acquainted with hymn tunes as 1 might
be, but this really was one knew, and one 1
am particularly fond of. The minister was
unusually cordial about inviting the congre-
CATION to join in, but the choir felt
differently about it. I began to sing just
as soon as 1 could get the pitch from
the choir, but the choir-well, choirs detest
congregational singing, and this particular
choir started out that evening to exterminate
the evil. They sang one line slow and gal
loped through the next began panissimo
and ended forte-a little too forte for me, in
fact They discouraged the congregation
after the second inning and sang the last
verse in triumph; but really do think that
the choirs either ought to sing SO the people
can follow them, or else do all the singing by
themselves. One hates to hear a tune torn to
tatters by the disjointed efforts Of both choir
and congregation.

self as highly pleased and gratlfied
with his reception in the southern

driving to an olive ranch fourteen
miles from Santa Barbara, and this
developed into bilious fever
which obliged His Majesty to give

had been planned. Col. Macfar-

THE reiterated statements which
have been published regarding the
severe enactments Of the Russian
Government against the Jews resid-
ing in Russian territory, leaves no
room to doubt their truth. After
January l, 1891, these laws says an
exchange, will dispossess the He
brews of any lands they may hold
and forbid the leasing, selling or
mortgaging of real estate to these
people. Their artisans are also to
be kept strictly within the quarters
assigned to the Jewish population
and to be deprived of rights which
they have heretofore enjoyed. If
Russia were not an autocracy, such
despotic treatment of an molten
sive, moral and industrious ele-
ment of her people would seem

principles of equity and humanity

The Use of Coffee.
Secretary.

1t is asserted by men of high
professional ability that when the
system needs a stImulant nothing
equals cup of fresh coffee. Those
who desire to rescue the drunkard
from his cups will find no better
substitute for spirits than strong,
new-made coffee without milk or
sugar. Two ounces of coffee, or
one-eighth of pound, to one pint
of boiling water makes a first-class
beverage, but the water must be
boiling, not merely hot. Bitterness
comes from boiling it too long. If
coffee required for breakfast be put
into graniteized kettle over night
and a pint of cold water poured
over, it can be heated to just the
boiling point and then set back to
prevent further ebullition, when it
will be found that, while the
strength is extracted, its delicate
aroma is preserved. AS our coun-
try consumes nearly ten pounds of
coffee per capita it is pity not to
have it made in the best manner.
1t is asserted by those who have
tried 1t that malaria and epidemics
are avoided by those who drink
cup of hot coffee before venturing
into the morning air. Burned on
