PAYABLE AFTER DEATH.
Court of Appeals has just held a mans
written promise to pay money "s'xty
days after death" to be egood as against
his estate and his executors will have
TO pay it. The objection raised was
that the note expressed no consider.
alton, the usual words "for value re-
ceived" not being part of it This
the Court thinks, was as unnecessar.
IN this note as it would have been ha,
it been payable "sixty days after date
Another point taken was that the note
was payable only to the payee by
name and not alternately to his order
or bearer and was therefore NJ
negotiable; but that contest failed
for it was sued by the payee himseii
So, whenever hereafter y man in ca
nest or in fun, makes a note payal'
after his own death, he should unde,
stand that his estate will be bound H..
and that the Courts will enforce Iii;

1t is claimed that should the rev.

terry Company will be forced to enter
into and dominate politics for the
reason that it will be assaulted at
every session of the Legislature with
determination to wipe it out. We
are of the opinion that when amend

no member of the General Assembly,
with the fear of the people before his
eyes, will dare assault it unless he be
an unmitigated blackmailer. So great
will be the benefit to the State, and
so apparent to the eyes Of the people
will this benefit become that no pa

When the band of sir hundr

When the band of sir hundred
Texans charged the Mexicans at San
Jacinto the battle cry was Remember
the Alamo" The Democrats of New
York are now getting ready to route
the Republicans in November and
their cry will be Remember the
Worlds Fair" and it is pretty apt to
have a very happy effect for the reason
that it was due to the trickery Of Boss
Platt that, New York was defeated in
the contest with Chicago in regard to
the selection of site. Platt used his
influence with Republican congressman
to vote for Chicago claiming that if
New York got the Fair Tammany
would control the Machinery Of it in
such way as to throw the State into

SPEECHES
R. H. SNYDER, Jr., G. MoNTEGUT
COL. R. N. OGDEN.
DELIVERED AT THE GRAND DEMOCRATIC
MEETING, WEDNESDAY,
SEPT. 23D.

Mr.. R. H. synder, Jr., of Tensas, was
introduced by the President TO the aud
ience. This speaker devoted himself al
most exclusively to discussion OF the
levee question, suggesting to Captain
White, who had preceded him, that al
though disclaiming any extensive famll-
iarity with the subject, he would inform
him as to mauy things he had either for
gotten or never knew about the leVees.
That the State Board of Engineers,
non partisan body, had recently estima-
ted that in order to put the Louisiana
levee system upon basis which would
.,uaraiItee reasonable assurance OF lmmu-
nity from overflow 100000 cubic yards
of earth were necessary, in addition to
the existing lides That this amount
wonld cost about $6,0OO,0O0; that Capt.
Leach, perhaps the ablest of all the Uni
ted States Engineers, recently in charge
of the Mississippi district, had estimated
that $lO,OOO,000 were necessary to put
the levees in condition, and that all OF
this eminent authority was offered, not
| withstanding the fact that Senator White
had declared that $500 was all that
| was needed. This same Senator, who
had recently appeared before the Mlssls-
sippi River Commission, and there III
fearful tones had begged for So, 600, ,OOO'
The speaker referred to the fact that the
alluvial districts had taxed themselves to
the point of contiscatlon and notwith'
standing their efforts to protect them
selves, overfows with all of their atten'
dant disasters, came again and again.
The speaker then referred to the incon
sistent morality Of the ants who would
devote to the Ieyees, education and char
tiles, money that came to the State wei
with blood, moist with tears of the Wild
ow and the orphan, stepped in shame
crime and degradation, all promised from
the licensing of whiskey, and yet the,
were too pure, too sanity and too holy tt
take money that came from the sale o
the lottery ticket. He doubted the sin
cerity of the prohibltionist who advoca
ted the drinking of every spirituous Ii
quor known to the saloon keeper, ant
urged only that our people should qui
drinking Louisiana beer.

The Louisiana Democrat., 1891-09-30

Hon. Murphy Foster in his speech
lately delivered in New Orleans (which
was conglomeration of holy horror
interjeclions and eSaggerations) de-
clared that the Charity Hospital could
flourish without the help of the lottery's
revenue. The honorable gentleman,
however, failed to disclose the manner
in which this wonderful feat could be
accomplished. The Charity Hospital
is a State institution--it needs no
argument to show that the State is
utterly unable to donate one cent to
this grand institution beyond it's pres
ent receipts. Take away the $4,000
now bestowed by the present lottery
license, and this pride of Louisiana
would be deserted to the owls and bats
of the forest. Wherefore do these
bomhastic anti orators make such tre-
mendous efforts to mislead the peo,
pie ? None but tottering cause de-
mands the help of hypocrisy aud de-
ceit. But the people will not be mis-
led. Their eyes are being opened to
the reck lessness of wild anti assertions
and they will all be counted for eA-
actly their worth and no more. - Rus,

1t appears that some of the Re-
publican postmasters throughout the
country are getting just a little bit
too swift to please the administration,
especially iu the matter of the enforce
ment of the anti-lottery postal law.
A short time ago the editor of Pecks's
Sun and the publisher of the Ereniag
Wisconsin, Milwaukee, were arrested
because they published an article
criticising the anti lottery law and ex-
pressing the opinion that it was un-
constitutional. 1t appears, however,
that as SION as the Attorney General
of the United States heard of the ar.
rest be sent telegram to Milwaukee
ordering the release of newspaper men.
Attorney General Miller did more
than this, for he took occasion to read
sharp lecture to the postmasters
throughout the country who are more
than anxious to drag citizens tojail on
frivolous charges of violating the anti
lottery postal law, and he said that
such outrages as those committed at
Milwaukee would do more than any,
thing else to break down the law by
t1nrning publ, opinion against it.
