THE REVENUE
AMENDMENT
! Withdrawn.

Nr. John A. Morris publishes .
letter in the city papers Of last
Thursday, in which be ALSO
lutely and unconditior.lly with
draws his proposition for . new lot
terry charter. This removes the
revenue amendment question from
the politics Of the State, and there
is no longer any reason for . divis-
ion in the ranks Of the Democratic
party, and that party win now move
in solid phalanx to the polls, head.
cd BY the banuer Of McEnery and
white supremacy.
Mr.. Morris frankly says:
Realizing thoroughly, my ass0ci.
ates and 1, that we have been In
cefrect In our opinion Of pubic SEN
timent on this question Of . new
charter, and not desiring to see the
people Of the State Of Louisiana in
vOlved in strife over this question,
1. hereby declare upon my part, and
on the part Of my associates, that
We would not accept or qualify nm
der the amendment, even were 1t
adopted by the people ut the gener-
4 election Of April, 1892.
And again:
! Convinced that the granting OF
another Lottery charter In the State
would be the cause Of continued
agitation and discomfort upon the
part Of . number Of the citizens Of
LOUISIANA for the entire period for
which such q charter might be grant
ed, We would be unwilling to accept
such . charter even though it were
given to us without the payment OF
one dollar OF license tax.

A RIDICULOUS COMPARISON.

|. A New Orleans organ OF the
ANTS, in its account Ut the recent
visit Of ex-President Cleveland to
Louisiana, inti,nated that he came
as "A attorney Of the lottery, and
mot % was given out, on . hunting
expedition. The Vermillion Star
took the paper to task for this false
fling At the man Of all others whom
Democrats delight to honor, and
took occasion to call attention to
the fact that no sentiment was sa-
cred to the anti slanderers.
This criticism made the editor Of
the organ In question 'red-headed,
and he worked on . half column Of
frenxied stuff, which concludes
with the most lud,crously prepos-
ferrous statement We have seen yet
in this campaign Of exaggeration.
The organ says: ''F. +. Nichols
is better, purer. sounder Demo
crat than ever Cleveland dared to
be-" The comparison, Of course,
Is ridiculous, but it still moves US To-
ask. when did Gov. Nichols get to
be such . simon-pure Democrat:
Was it when he was leading the
bolt against that venerable Demo
Graf, Hon. Louis st. Martin, the
regular nominee in the First Con-
gressional District, in 1884! Does
the autocratic way in which he Is
removing loyal Democrats from
Office proclaim him to he Demo-
crat Of an exalted type: Does his
refusal to assure the present Demo
crstic ticket fair count give him
his credentials ~ Democrat. and
viii the organ think be is a better
Democrat than Cleveland when he
has used his Official power to count
out the Democrats next April:

Democrat than Cleveland when he

He also bought book on architecture
for Dan. a copy of which had been in
that gentleman's possession for many
years, only that Ned did not happen to
know it, nor that the work was an old
one. This last he laid upon the table
for presentation when they should have
smoked their pipes out, and discussed
his trip in all its business aspects and
Dan should have reported building prog
ress. 1t was bulky volume and would
not readily accommodate itself to q mans
coat pocket. Last of all he took out an
oblong package, wrapped in layers of
/ soft, white paper, which he removed
with his supple brown hands and laid
carefully aside, disclosing beautiful
blue plush case with dainty clasps and
a look about it that was unmistakable.
Anthony touched the spring, and, 10! in
the prosaic lamplight there was a flash
and sparkle as though myriads of fire.
flies had been caught and pinned to the
soft blue satin.
Anthony turned the case in his hands,
catching the flash of the jewels and ad-
miring the play of the light and the
sparkle of the prismatic colors. Dia-
monds of the purest water-thousands
of dollars worth of diamonds-a neck
lace and pendant, pin and earrings,
bracelets and ornaments for the hair-a
complete set, even to the ring, and val
ued at Tiffanys, from whence they
came, at two hundred thousand dollars.
Anthonys western training had in no
wise eradicated the instincts of his south
ern blood toward reckless extravaganza.
He lifted first one ornament, then an
other, and pleased himself with fancy
ing how their sparkle would light up the
dusky coils of Mary Beverley's hair and
intensity the luster of her ewes. His
thoughts about his love were practical
and material, as was his nature. He had
made up his mind to marry Mary, Just
as he had made up his mind to achieve
fortune, and his methods of comprising
the two ends We're precisely similar.
Sheer force of will, steadiness of pur
pose, and absolute disregard of aught
that might stand in his path had made
him millionaire; and unconsciouslv he
expected the same forces to make him
Mary Beverley's husband. Latterly an
occasional thought of Dan as a probable
rival had kindled a smolder of Jealousy,
but he had stamped it out contemptu-
ously. What had Dan to offer woman
like Mary Beverley in comparison with
what he, Ned Anthony, could show?

CHAPTER XXI.

An alteration of ones plans after def
lite arrangements have been made can
lot always be said to be attended with
success, even when time is saved there
by and inclination or impotence graft
fled.
In the first place, the haste CONSEQUENT
on any sudden change is injurious to
that repose of mind and movement
which Is the summum bonum of rational
existence; Ill the second place, it argues
a mutability of purpose which is sub
verslve of character and conduct, and in
the third place, it is apt to precipitate
the changeful person into the very posi-
ton least welcome to himself and 9th
ers. The moral of which short sermon
is: If a plan Is definitely made, stick to
it in its entirely, unless driven from
your saconghold by positively over
|whelming circumstances.
Ned Anthony telegraphed his friend
that he should leave Richmond on the
night train and be with him at Repton
to breakfast the following morning, and
instead of that, finding after the mes
sage had been dispatched that he could
arrange to leave by much earlier train,
he did so, and at the very time that Dan
was playing TO Mrs. Beverley, instead of
being in a Richmond restaurant consum-
ing food and iced drinks, he was remov-
ing the dust of travel in his own room
across the ravine.
When his outer man was made pre-
|sentable, Ned opened small valise
standing on the table and took from it
sIndry packages which he slowed in his
various pockets. He had thought Of
them all during his short absence, and
had remembered them all in his prepara-
tons for his return. He bought coufec-
tionery for the young ladies, and two
dangerous knives, with so many blades
and of such wicked keenness that there
was no possibility of Marys allowing
him to carry out his intention of pre-
senting them to her little boys.
