A Challenge to Gov. Nichols.
TIE GOVERNORS UNFINISHED WORK

Francis T. Nichols, the Governor
Of the State OF Louisiana, has obeyed
the dictates of his lieutenant in Iberia
Parish, and removed Capt. c. T. Cade
as a member OF the police jury and Mr.
Robert A. Olivier, as assessor of this
parish, ''ior cause" simultaneously
with the order of removals, connie
sions were issued to Mr. Cleveland
Romero as police Juror and to Mr.. Fer

As to the relative merits and qualif-

Iberia can establish the standard.

There is good deal of comment in
this city regarding the statement which
E. H Farar is said to have made on
the stump, to the effect that if McEr.
cry is nominated that he will support
the Republican nominee, and that if
the lottery amendment is adopted he
will leave the state. The consensus of
opinion here among all conservative
men IS that the adoption of the lottery
rev"nue amendment will not only be
financially beneficial to the state. but
it would be the means Of Kidding Loui-

How TO JUDGE CLASSICAL MUsTc.-
mere is a very simple method by
which even the greatest sceptic may
ascertain whether a piece of music is
coed, bad or Indifferent. 1t is as fol-
lows: If the music goes "one, two.
three, hop, hop. hop" or zone, two,
three, bnm, bum. hnm," you may de-
PEND npon it that Won are listening to
unmitlgated rubbish. But when you
hear music which sounds as though a
number Of well arranged notes were
stuck into 4 barrel and energetically
stirred about like 4 sort of harmonious
oatmeal porild.t, ,hen you ma as-
sume that it is u fugue and at once
compose yoHr features into an express
slnn OF profound interest.
If. on listening to the music. you
fancy the notes are dropping acciden-
tally on the floor, and from time to
time asserting Themselves again in p
quiet, dreamy sort Of way. then the
piece is probably Il noctarno, and
not, as you are aware, are very high
class music indeed.
When the notes seem 10 arrive in
truck loads, and each truck contains,
So to speak, a different sort flom the
one that has gone before, and when
The tam appears to ta.e an uIre ison-
bic amount Of time in passing given
nnlnt. then the masterpiece is most
likely Il symphony. and symphonies
are tile 81 'a-est musical creations
hitherto produced.
When it appears as though the notes
had been tumbled down heller skel-
ter, then vigorously shoveled up into
a heap. and lastly blown into the air
with dynamite cartrid.es-tlat is a
rhapsody, and lhapsodits are the latest
variety Of music out.-Dusseldorter

1t has been charged that if the
Adamsitts ale in the minority iii the
State nominating convention. as they
are sure to be. and fail 20 get an Anti
Lottery plank On the platform, that
they will bolt and endeavor to form
an alliance with the Republicans.
That tli-re is reason to believe that the
charge is not entirely without founda-
ton, is evidenced By the fact that two
such we'll known men in this State as
Congressman Blanchard and Col. w
T. Ford, both of Shreveport, declared
that they would rather turn the State
over to the Republicans than to see
the lottery amendment adopt
ed by the people, Mr.. E. Fl. Farrar
who is now on the stump in the inter-
est of the Lafayette dicker, is also
quoted as 50 wing thatif S. D. McEnerv is
nominated, he will support the Re-
publican candidate. 1t is evident from
this kind Of talk that the Adams fac
ton have been made desperate by the
det"at that is staring them in the face,
bnt their wild moulhings dc not
the Democratic party, and
they are at liberty to make an alliance
with t, e Republicans if they choose to
do Sex.

The outlook for AtcnIson.

BosToN, February 1.-THE Boston News
Bureau says: The heavy increase In Atehi-
On's operating expenses, as shown In the
December statement, Is probably accounted
Tor by the increased train service necessitat-
ed both by competition and the demands OF
the Western granger. The effect Of In
creased train service In the East mas been TO
baild up local business, but In the West,
where population Is more thinly spread out.
1t Is likely TO be an expensive move for
considerable time yet
There Is no question but tnat the Missouri
Pacific, the Southern Pacific, and the Rock
Island roads, which do not publish net re-
turns, have taken advantage OF the detailed
statements which the Atchison management
has given to its shareholders. The Atehison
has striven to hold the business II claims as
its own, and the Rock Island especially has
used every effort TO divert it.
All the roads have stftven perhaps TOO
strongly for heavy tonnage, possibly with
the idea that In any new agreement or asso-
ciatlon allotments would be based upon the
tonnage shown.
But when the Missouri Pacific and South
ern Pacific talk Of consolidation with the
Atchison the stockholders of the latter COM
pany naturally ask for the net returns OF the
two cOmuanies to be placed side by side
with Atcnison.
The Atchison has been the only company
to cut its charges, and consequently II is
looked upon with longing eyes as a medium
through which the percentage OF some other
roads charges can be reduced.
But, even admitting that the Atchison's 5
heavy operating expenses are the result OF
an unavoidable insIease Of business, IL
should not necessarily cause any decline In
the price Of its stock from the present low
basis.
rne reorganization Of the AtchlsOn placed
| II 10 peculiarly strong financial position
possibly too strong for an immediate con.
| servative working Of the road.

| Sl2,000.000 to less than S8.000,0O0. IL permits
/ a development If the property which, while
disappointing today may prove the wise poii-
| cy iu the future.
With construction stopped. with the coun-
| try tributary To the system constantly grow
log, IL Is hardly possible that the company
viii fail 10 earn its fixed charges.
In the meantime, the control oil 10000
miles Of road Is constantly In the market,
and that control may be worth more in the
eyes Of some Of the great railroad magnates
