Topeka, Kan, Dec. 29.-The follow
ing interview with President Frank
McGrath, published to-day, would in
dicate that the Alliance has, for the
present, decided to drop the third
party movement. He says:
The agitation in the South over the
Lodge bill precludes the possibility OF
any independent movement at this
time. While in Alabama / investi-
gated the condition as thoroughly as
my limited stay would permit, and l
came to the conclusion that more time
was needed. It will come about in
time, but that time is not this year.

1t seems that the Lottery is not go
ing to confne its political attentions
to the Democratic party, pure and
simple, in this State. While it would
be great thing on its part to secure
control of the Democratic State con-
vention, and make the Lottery a
plank in the Democratic platform and
therefore a Democratic principle, still
it might be defeated by Republican
opposition and disgusted Democrats.
All the negroes in the legislature were
induced to vote for the Lottery; all
the negroes in the State may be in
duced to vote for it in 1892. We hear
that an agent has already been inter-
viewing some of the Republican COM
mittee Of this parish. There is further
talk that lottery influence is insidious
" at work in the Farmers Union not
only among the rank and file, but
among some who hold official stations.
The defeat of the Lottery at the polls
in this State, will have to be made by
the Farmers Union therefore there
should be no traitors among them. A
Farmers Union man, who is in the
pay of the Lottery League, can do
great injury to the anti-Lottery
cause. The Unions should be very
vigilant.

Some two weeks ago, a few miles
from Opelousas, Numa Mccarthy and
Jack Prejean, both colored, neighbors
and brothers-in-law, had dispute
about monkey-wrench, which the
former had borrowed from the latter.
When asked to return it, he took the
request as an accusation OF stealing,
and went and loaded his gun and re-
turned to where Preiean was at work,
and fired both barrels at him, missing
with the first, and hitting him in the
leg with the second. Mccarthy dis
appeared, and Prejean died from the
wound last Wednesday. Mccarthy
was traced to Big Cane by the Sherifts
deputies, and he was induced to come
to Opelousas Thursday morning, to
give bail; but Prejean having died he
was Jailed. Mr.. Leopold Godchaux OF
Big Cane, brought Mccarthy to Ope-
lousas, and it was by his information
and assistance that the arrest was made
in that way.

peared underground the largest, the
river Alphens, is alluded to by Coler-
idge in the following lines:

The great waterfall OF the Styx, the
NEUROLOGICAL river, that leads down to
hell or hades, was in Arcadia. The
scenery of our Louisiana Acadia, and
of the Grecian Arcadia are just as
different as can be. The Arcadians
were distinguished from their Grecian
compatriots, by greater simplicity
and inertness of life" by their stupid
ity" in regard to worldly knowledge ;
but they were noted for hospitality
and their manner of life was consid-
cred "a type of pure pastoral happi-
ness" Thus will the simple circum-
stance OF isolation make alike people
who differ widely in race, age, climate
and scenery.
It is-said that the Lottery question
now before the courts is purely a
legal question. But some legal ques-
tions are so evenly balanced as to leave
their decision entirely discretionary
with the court. In that case it be-
comes political or party question,
and the court shows its leanings by
the way it decides. Does custom, in
the absence of a statute, make law? Is
there any statute saying that bill
proposing constitutional amendment,
passed blythe General Assembly, shall
not be signed by the Governor, or that
his signature shall be unnecessary !?
Has not the custom always been that
the Governor shall sign such bills? ]?
All the bills proposing constitutional
amendments, passed at the last session
of the legislature, including the lot
terry amendment, went to the Cover
nor for approval or disapproval. The
effort now to except the lottery bill, is
because the Governor vetoed it, and it
could not be passed over his veto. The
constitution requires that bills propos-
ing constitutional amendments shall
receive the votes OF two-thirds of both
houses, net to avoid the Governors
veto power, but to make it difficult to
pass such bills, as the constitution
should not be lightly tinkered with !;
and the Governors privilege of vetoing
such bills is plainly in keeping with
the spirit of the constitution, for the
Governors reasons for vetoing such
bill might cause some of the legisla
tors to change their minds and prevent
a final passage of the same. II there
is any law in regard to this matter,
whether of statute or custom, it seems
to be in favor of the Governors pre-
rogative to approve or disapprove such
bills. The ipse dixit of a court does
not make statutory law it merely
shows the opinion of the court and
what the court intends the law to be.
In the case before us, a decision in
favor of the lottery could only mean
that the authority Of the court is ex-
erted in favor of the lottery. If there
is any law for such decision why has
is not been published? Does the Lot
terry expect such decision, and on what
there seems to be no
law-does it expect it?
