Political Points from the Baton Rouge
Advocate.

The Globe-Democrat summarizes the
result of the late prize fight in New Or
leans by saying that "Col. Billy Myer
succeeded in binding both of Col Tom
my Carols eyes, broke his nose, knock
ed out five OF his teeth, curled him up
on the floor about twenty times, leav-
ing him finally mutilated and disfigur-
ed mass in the corner of the ring, una
BILE to recognize either friend or foe.''
And yet the New Delta gave its readers
three full columns of details of the
bloody and brutal exhibition. There is
no accounting for tastes, and modern
morality has wide reach of apprecia-
tion.-Baton Rouge Advocate.

they rejected the proposition to submit

CO. conspirators do not care, as long as
they have the hope of accomplishing
one Of two things-frst,, the possibility
of perpetuating their power in the
State, or, second, failing in that object,
to wreak their revenge on their fellow
democrats by turning over the govern
ment of Louisiana to the republicans
for four years.
In 1888, when the McEnery- Nichols
contest ended in favor of the latter,
though by a comparatively small ma
jority, his victory was conceded. Gen.
Jastremski, at that time chairman gof

staunch adberent of the defeated can

the winning side.
In 1891, the victory was reversed, and
McFnery came into the convention with
a clear majority OF about 100 honest
votes. But Chairman Lanier, of the op-
position, did not rise to the height of
his duty under the precedent establish
ed, aud tried to defeat the will of the
the people by his own arbitrary act.
He deserted the committee and went off
to organize bolt fiom the party which
had honored him with its confidence.

candidate for governor by tue choice of
the people, Samuel D. McEnery, then
governor, gave cordial and active sup

The plainest proposition ever submitted to
human reason is the fact that the adoption or
rejection of the revenue amendment lis an issue
dependent wholly ON the direct vote of the peo-
ple, and has no connection whatever with the
election OF governor or other State officers.
When the verdict of the people has been rem
tiered and officially declared all the antilottety
or pro-lottery. sentiment In the State cannot
change the result one iota. 1t becomes res ja-
dicnta, beyond the power of even a ranting pol
itician like Murphy Tester to obstruct it in
the least degree. Ali pretense to the contrary
is simply political cha1f to catch fools and to
give designing men q pretext for seeking office.

The New Delta parades with startling
headlines what it styles retraction by
VIM. Price, one of the witnesses before
theeredentials committee in regard to
crookedness in the st. Mary parish pri-
mary elections. The retraction is sum
med up by Mr.. Price as follows:
I did not find Stirling and Brown in a negro
shanty, but in Jaekson's Hall that the box
was not stuffed to my knowledge; that the
voting strength Of the ants was unknown to
me and that Murphy j. Foster was only in the
cabin a few moments to warm himself, the
morning being chill and cold, and that + did
not mean to lnsinuate that Mr.. Foster had slept
the night before the election in negro cabin.
Price seems to be dazed and bull
dozed, .but'he retracts no essential part
Of the testimony which involves Mr..
Murphy Foster in the circumstantial
suspicion of winking at frauds, if not
actually participating in them, to carry
St. Mary parish for his faction. The
verdict of all fair-minded men will be
against him, unless he can present
counter evidence stronger than minor
technicalities, such as are involved in
the so. called retraction of Mr.. Price

HUGH DOSAHUE.

The long funeral procession which fol
lowed the remains of Hugh Donahue to
his last resting place in the Roman Cath
Ole cemetery last Sunday showed that it
was an occasion of more than usual III
tercst and sadness. His occupation had
been such as to bring him in immediate
contact with the general public, and he
made friends OF everybody and provoked
no enmity. He was good kind, genial
boy who always did his best to make
things cheerful around him. His remark
able activity, lively and pleasant ways,
and accommodating disposition was so
strangely in contrast with him dead as
to arrest the attention and excite the sad
interest ofevery one who knew him. As
the long train moved along carrying him
away it bore none but kind, good
thoughts of "Cuey." His grave presents
a pleasing object lesson teaching that the
humblest of human beings who lies down
amid pleasant memories, unmixed with
scorn or hate has a resting place that
kings might covct, and that all the kind
words that may be said of him is only
cheap return for the many little kindly
Offices he did for those who say them
