The Cremation Society of England ha'

tory progress of the idea. This idea, to
use Sir Spencer Wclls's epigrammatic
expression, is "purifcation versus putre-

are rendered impure and nauscous by tho
Iputrefaction of the dead in gravcyaris.

Electoral Commission Methods
Charged in Louisiana's Count.


NEW ORLEANS, lathe Democracy
Of Louisiana is split again, aud this time
worse than ever. The compromise by
which it was sought to unite the two
Democratic factions. each of which had
a full State ticket in tho field, headed by
McEuery and Foster respectively, pro-
vided for general Democratic prims,y y
on March %. Anticipating trouble over
the count at this elec ion, special COM
mittee Of seven was created to act like
the famous Electoral Commission Of 1876
1t consisted of three men of each faction,
the seventh man being the Hon. john
Young, who was regarded rs thoroughly
conservative aud impartial. lilo had fav-
ored Foster for Governor, but had not
SssFaasp -s.aralaa- -aariisan. uo had been
tho law partner OF McEnety, vi WIS
thought to be one of tho men In Louisia-
ma able 10 act ncutrally aud without pre-
judice 10 this case.
Moro than 10000 votes were pCllcd a
larger number than the the Democracy
has received in any election in Louisiana
except one. The first returns showed
good majority for McEncry, and the re-
suit was accepted by the Foster people.
Later returns reduced McEncrys ma iori
ty to 1,7aS. Then the Foster people set
UP the plea that some OF tho boxes in
New Orleans had been stuffed Ever
since the election tho committee has been
engaged in investigating the returns.
Several irregularities and frauds were un
earthed in the parish of Sabine in favor
Of Foster, and in New Orleans in favor of
McEncry. In Sabiuc the committee set
the matter right by throwing out the
fraudulent votes, but when it came to
New Orleans the Foster people insisted
that tho whole precinct where fraud oc-
Cured should be thrown out: ~
Ina; been argued before the committee
When it reached vote the committee
followed in the footsteps Of the Electoral
Commission. MIR. Young, the odd man,
voted with his faction, and by a vote of
4 to 3 it decided Co throw out the entire
First precinct of the Sixth ward, which
gave McEnery $50 majority. AS soon rs
the vote was ann" "unccd the three Mem
cry members of tho committee, declaring
it was obviously intended TO count Nc
Emery out, left the room, thus bringing
the session TO close, and starting new
split in the party. There were five other
precincts yet to be passed OH, which
i is believed, would hc thrown
out, giving Foster n majority of 400, as
against McEnery's majority on the face
OF the returns of ,72S.
The precinct in the Sixth ward war
thrown out on the ground that the ballos
was not secret one, and that the Fostet
Commissioners were not allowed to eX.
anime voters, but no frauds were shown.
| 1t is difficult to determine yet what will
be. .tbf exashses'llt af tho split. A mum.
tho decision Of the commission should
be accepted as ruling Uf court, right
or wrong, but majority OF them arc un.
willing to do so and favor bolt, and the
chances arc that both Democratic tickets

dress regarding the celebration of Dis.

requested to celebrate the day in their
various localities, and to make this pos.
sible the Worlds Congress invites the CO.
operation of educators and teachers
throughout the nation.
The Press is asked 10 enlist itself to
make systematic Celebration general.
The Address suggests that at least one
feature of the exercises be identical in
both Exposition dedication and local
Celebrations.
President Bonncy and the national
body of Supcrintendents of Education
have jointly appointed the following
named Executive Committee to promote
the celebration aud prepare a uniform
program for use in all localities:
Francis Bcllamy, Of tae Youths Com.
panion, Boston, Chairman, and the fol-
lowing named State Superintendents Of
Education: J. w. Dickinson, Massa-
chusctts; T. b. Stockwcll, Rhode Island; =;
w. II. Garrett, Tennessee; w. G. Hewitt,
Michigan.
This Committee will also, through
State Superintcndents of Education, so

claim October 10 holiday.
