The silver question is beginning to
cause serious trouble IN the DEM
ocratic ranks, and the leaders recog-
nize the need for action and say it
will never do to let the session elapse
without some result. They do not
see way out of the difficulty yet,
but they are confident some solution
will be yet reached. They. say th'
party might as well alsband at once
or confess inability to legislate.
They insist that action OF some kind
must be the result of the session
and they believe it will not be Ions
before something Is done. Theil
confidence in this regard seems to b
based more on the idea that the par
ty will be governed by the instinc
Of self-preservation sthan upon an,
i.lea Of what the form Of action wi
be. Something will be sccompLshe

An interesting bit Of information
IS contained in a private letter reaeh-
ING here. 1t is simply to the
effect that Mr.. J. H. Gilfoii has
rendered his resignation to Governor
Foster as member Of the Fiitn
District Leyee Board. The flitn
District Board is virtually the Key 70
the leyee situation in the State, and
some of the best known and most
practical leyee men OF the State nave
from time to time been members %
it. When Governor Foster Weht
into Office Madison parish was repre-
sented on the board by two members
Colonel F. l.. Maxwell represent
ipg the lower end OF the parish ana
Mr.. A. S. Coltharp the upper END.
Colonel Maxwell was left oil the
board and Mr.. Gilfoil and Mr.. Col
tharp were named as the two Madison
members. Both Of these gentlemen
are from the upper end OF the parish'
and the lower end of the parish was
left out of consideration. Under
those circumstances Mr.. Coltnarp
had 70 devote soti.e of his time to
looking after the interests OF lower
Madison and finally gave up the Jop.
| He sent his resignation to Governor
