DEMOCRATS FOR REVENUE.

The sugar planters in the First con-
Igressional district of Louisiana have
met and instructed their president to
appoint committee of twenty-one tc
select a candidate for Congress TO run
on the Republican platform.
For some time past there has been
lmuch talk in and out of the press about
the Louisiana sugar planters being very
sore over the withdrawal of the bounty
to sugar producers given by the Nc
Kinley bill The effect OF bounties to
these people has been to corrupt their
political principles. The granting OF
bounties and the extending of protec
ton to any industry naturally tend:
! to corrupt the benefciaries thereof.
Did the sugar planters in Louisiana
suppose for one moment that the Dem
ocratic party was going to sacrifice {
principle to retain their good will ana
votes? If so, they reckoned without
their host During all the years they
were adherents to the party they knew
lit was opposed to protection and the
bounty system, yet they never once
talked of leaving it. Why have they
postponed their action so long? The
time for them to have revolted was in
1882, not 1894 What have they done?
Surrendered their allegiance to the
lparty to which they have always be-
llonged and that has always been their
friend. And for what? A mess of pot
lage, so to speak. For this they are will
ling to join hands with the party that
lis for Capitalization, the party that since
tits birth, has opposed those great and
everlasting principles Of free govern
Iment laid down by Jefferson and the
fathers These men are willing to say
that the party that robbed the people of
Louisiana of their rights in 1876 is the
party that is now their best friend.
Their attitude on the question is fully
|set forth in a declaration in the Louisi-
ana Planter, of New Orleans, of the Sth
inst:

worthy friends Of Utah have been I'M
der the Impression that they each con-
tributed something towards the saliva
ton of this territory from the fate de-
signed. But they never thought of de-
manding anything FOR their services or
suggested that they were entitled
therefor to political honors.
1t seems. however, that they were all
mistaken. They did nothing. It was
Trumbo that did it all. So he says.
That is. Trumbo and inspiration We
must give full credit to the latter,
though that. we presume, will ask no
reward. But how about Cannon, the
candidate for Delegate? Was it he or
Trumbo that with a few mighty waves
of his magnetic" tongue, swept de-
struction for the Mormons out of sight
We will have to leave it for the rival
claimants to fight it out or divide the
Ihonors. if they or either of them can
still make the people of Utah believe
in their finished work of redemption.
Some pesky people may have suf-
ficient incredulity to ask for the evil
dence that either claimant is entitled
to the credit claimed. Why, is not
their word enough? For he himself
has said it. and that is to his credit
as the song goes, and is not that suf-
ficient? Away with the testimony Of
the men who travelled. spent their time
and money and labored to preserve the
rights of their people. Why should that
count for anything in the face of the
rival claims of the two modest gem
tlemen who now claim political, if no
other. compensation for their self-as-
serted effort.
There are other interesting contribu-
lions to the glory of the gallant and
modest Colonel in the press of the
country. and appearing in the papers
of the extreme east as well as the re-
mote west, show either the wonderful
popularity of the modest" man or that
some powerful ''inf1ooence" is at work
to boom him for the United States Sen
atorship. Will the people of Utah bite
at the bait? We can afford to wait
awhile and see.

Quickly result in destroying our sugar
and rice industries, and in reducing the
fair fields of Louisiana to their prime
val conditions of an uninhabited
swamp.
That has the right ring for Repub-
lican calamity howl. Since when was
this discovery made These sugar
planters are little slow. They may
join the Republican ranks and de-
nounce the Democrats for taking the
government pap, in the form Of boun-
ties, away from them, but they should
recognize the fact that an overwhelm-
ing majority of the voters de-
clared against the system that
allowed them to 4 plumber me

system back. There is no more reason
why Louisiana should be pampered,

NO MORE INDIAN SCOUTS.

The Indian scouts in the employment
of the government will very soon be a
thing of the past. The general COM
handing the army has decided there is
no longer any need for them, and this
decision has been approved by the Sec
rotary of War.
| There are a hundred and fifty of
| these men and they are included in the
$4,000 enlisted force authorized by law.
This deprives the companies of
lust this number of regular soldiers.
should anv Indian outbreak occur it
would be an easy matter to find suit
able scouts within a very short time.
Thus is an Interesting and pictur-
esque parsonage in American life to be-
come a thing of the past. The one
thing in America around which ro-
nance has gathered is the Indian and
the Indian scout. At some time in his
life every American born boy has had
secret and intense longing to be a
scout and go and fight Indians. 1t may
be said this was the animal instinct
asserting itself. 1t was the heroic in
istinct. the same instinct that fired the
hearts of the knights of old: the same
instinct that caused the crusaders to
undertake their pilgrimages for the
recovery Of the Holy Land.
Who can read the history of the dis
covery and opening of the Great West
as told by Parkman without being
filled and thrilled with the spirit of adj
venture that pervades those most
charming of volumes? And had not
Parkman come west and lived among
the Sioux after graduating at Harvard,
it is probable that the history of the
Indians would never have been made so
fascinating as it has been. Who that
has ever read the Leather Stocking
tales but wanted to be a scout? The
American by who does not love Natty
Bumppo is not descended from revolu
tionary stock.
In the novels of Cooper and the lives
of such men as Kit Carson must future
generations learn what scouts were.
The time when the scout should be no
more has come, as it was bound to
come, when the red man ceased to roam
the DlalnS ana become the Wdfu Oh the
government. The times and conditions
that produced him are gone never to
return. The buffalo, they have van
ished these many years, and since their
disappearance the Indian and the scout
have seemed but the survival of a past
age The scout and the courier des
bois, what memories cling around those
nd Wi n
them the most picturesque and ro-
mantle characters that our American
life has ever produced.

1t is mistake to class John P. Jones
with the Populists. He is a Republic

is irrevocably opposed to free silver

and free coinage in it's true meaning
are utterly incompatible.

| What Mr.. Depew says is confirmed
not only by reason, by common sense,
by the character, the enterprise, the
energy and the intelligence OF the
American people, but by the actual
business conditions of the passing day.
For instance, tire new tariff repeats
! the bounty on sugar. and, in conse-
quence, say the prophets of ''calami-
ty," the production of sugar, especially
of the beet and root variety, must
cease. That has been the continuous
croak of the partisan croakers; the an
swer to it is to be found in the fact
that Oregon. in which state the beet
root is largely cultivated, certain CAPT.
talists have within the last few days
organized company, with a capital
of 900, for the construction of
beet sugar refineres. This is but one
of many instances throughout the
country of fact controverting invera-
cious croaking. Since the tariff cues

practically settled for. at least, three
years, and by its settlement fixed con-

ONE WOMAN'S INGENUITY.
How She Made Two Potatoes Serve as
a Meal for Three.

Denver Times:-Out on the ColfaX
line a young couple keep house in a
quiet way, having no servant. The
other day the husband went home in
the evening, taking a friend to dinner.
That ought to entitle him to ten days,
for the happy and unsuspecting wife
had a dainty dinner for two all on
the table. My dear" said the head
Of the family, when his friend had
said goodnight and the door had been
closed, "how was it that you had four
big potatoes baked tonight? We never
have more than two and you could
not have known that I had company"
Il didn't"
Yes, but you did. my dear. My
friend ate one, you ate half of one,
and 1 the other half. and there We're
two left in the bowl"
Very true, my innocent" said the
laughing wife. but those that We're
left We're as cold and raw as a March
morning in New England. They were
put there for apTearance-to fill up;
and when you bring company home
without telling me again, I'll make you
eat them that way"
And yet they say women don't know
enough to vote. The average woman
is a genius.
