 MT. Blanchard represented the Fourth Louisiana district in the house and was elected for the first time in 1880. He is native of the Pelican State and was born in Rapides parish in 1940. His home is at Shreveport, where he has been engaged in the practice of law ever since his graduation from the law depart ment of the Louisiana university in 1871. From early manhood he has taken an active interest in tine politics of his par ish and the state, and when he was but 27 years of age he was chosen chairman of the Democratic committee of Caddo parish.
 Three years later he represented his Rarish in the constitutional, convention of 1879, which framed the present or ganic law of the state. He served as aid de-camp, with the rank of major, in the state militia on the staff of Governor Wiltz, and also on that of Governor Mo Emery and was member for Louisiana of the board of trustees of the University of the South, at Sewanee, Tenn. The legislature which meets in May will elect successors to both Senator Blanch- ard and Senator Caffery, the governor having authority only to appoint during legislative recess.

 It Is incredible, affirmed the over seer to Miss Duke, whom he met upon the road q short distance from the Monckton dwelling the day following the burning of the stables. Would you believe it. ma am, when I asked permission to have the rascals arrested, he looked at me in that strange way he has of late and said, We raised that devil ourselves. JOyce?' When I re- spectfully requested him to explain, he asked. Did you ever see your family starving about you while you were helpless to provide for them:' I replied that l was thankful my people had all ways been respectable. He only said, My poor Joyce! Then he told me story of how, when he first went to France, a mere boy, in some country place, the awkward. hobbling gait of the peasants made him laugh. and how

 Monckton's policy of nonretaliation WAS hearing better fruit than even he himself had anticipated. Though his persistent refusal to punish the wrong docrs was at first mistaken for intimi- dation. the fact that he refrained from calling upon the constabulary or the militia, either of which would have been promptly granted him by the state authorities, impressed the malcontents and insensibly weakened Matthew North's influence. Day ivy day desert CTS from his party joined the workers in the pits, and by the time the proprietor was sufficiently recovered to resume control of affairs fully 300 men had re- turned to duty. With the decline of his power NOrth's emnity to Monckton increased in intensity. Fanatical as his opposition 10 the despotism of wealth had been while still honest and imper sOnal, now, fed by his despairing pas sion for ImOgene Duke, it was nothing less than insanity. Indeed some of his former adherents had not hesitated to call him a madman to his face. At all hours of the day and night, with soiled and torn clothing, ghastly cheek and flaming eyes, he might he found wher- ever the men congregated in the village declaiming, arguing and threatening in tireless effort to keep together his disheartened forces and inspire them with some portion of the hatred he himself felt for the tyrant.
 Fact is, observed John Turner to his friend, Peter Lakey, one evening aft CT listening to a violent address by North in the village tavern, II think Mat thew's got a screw loose about this thing"
 That's what education leads to-, replied Peter sagely. II hain't found no call to go foolin round with books and figgers. But Matthew. he always did feel hisself a peg higher n the rest of us. -

MOTHER AND SON.


 North himself had seasons of bitter self communion when the truth arose before him like an accusing ghost and would not be laid. At such times his invalid mother would near him pacing the floor of his chamber iu the small but neat cottage which he had built with his savings, and she would listen, her heart yearning over this big. hand some fellow, her only son, .divfning, with mothers love, Something of his trouble. Once she had painfully toiled up stairs and found him with his head resting upon his arms on the table where he wrote or read at night. When he sat erect, startled at her entrance, she saw that his face was stained with tears which be vainly sought to conceal. 0fNa : < wtgf

I will stay, she cried out, with her eyes shin- ing and her head thrown hack, and you shall kill me too. To have her look like that 10 minutes for my sake, 1 would give up all the rest of my life and not count the cost too heavy, nei- ther.'' He walked up and down the apartment once or twice; then, return ing to his mothers side, he passed his arm about her and raised her up. "Now go to bed, dear," he said, kissing her upon the forehead. "Try not to feel too bad about this folly of mine. Time cures all ills, you know, and some day, when we are living together in little home, far away from here, we will talk over all this quietly, you with your knitting on one side of the table, and I opposite with my books and papers, the storm beating on the window pane and q fire cracking on the hearth. Isn't it pleasant picture, mother?" He spoke gayly and led her IO lUt uOO1 VII tt anu oLlOthOA kiss. But when she was gone the smile faded from his face; he threw himself into his chair, and resting his head up- on his hand fell into gloomy reverie.
 The reaction from such moods as these invariably led North into new ex cesses of opposition to the hated mine owner. The day following the conver- sation above recorded a heavy dray numbered into the village, laden with flour, sides of bacon, sacks of potatoes and other provisions. The driver, com pelled to pull up his team before the drinking saloon by the croSd of idlers gathered there, mumbled in terror that "twarn't none O his business. He had been ordered to take the grub to them as needed it, and that was all he knowed about 1t.
 And who gave you your orders?" inquired the stern voice of Matthew North, who had just joined the group.
 "The young master, ill course" re- sponded the driver. Dye think I runs a 'orspital or a outdoor poor 'us?'
 "There, mates" exclaimed North, facing the crowd, this man has stated the case exactly. Do you want charity from the tyrant who denies our rights and insults us with his beggar's DOT tions? If you do, there are your bro- ken victuals; take them home and be humbly grateful.
 There was a savage howl and a si- multaneous rush for the wagon. The driver was kicked and cuffed unmerci- fully: the vehicle was overturned and its contents scattered about and trampled underfoot After which virtuous act the perpetrators, looking rather foolish, retired to their several benches and barrels in the saloon, while flock of lean women and starving children de- scended upon tho debris and carried it off with much screeching and quarrel ing. Meantime North disappeared, as was his wont ill such cases.
 Bruised, limping and with clothing In tatters, the driver of the i'll fated wagon returned to report the ignomin- ious failure of his mission. The pro- prletor listened to the mans recital gravely and with no show of emotion except slight compression of the lips.

NONRETALIATION.
 For moro than n fortnight Monckton was confined to his bed with the inju- ries he had received, which proved far more serious than he had be II willing at first to admit. His youth and an ex- cellent constitution prevailed, however, much to JOyce's delight. The over seer. narrow, pigheaded and obstinate while invested with the cloak of au- thOrity. when reduced to his proper condition of subservience developing some surprising traits, among them a devoted affection for his master, proved a most efficient nurse. Regularly ev cry morning he brought into the sick room large bouquet of flowers, which he arranged ill a vase on the table near the bed. From Miss Duke. who has just asked after you most particularly, sir, he would say, observing the faint flush upon the invalid's cheek with much secret satisfaction.
 That Is most admirable young gcntlcwoman. he remarked on one of these occasions.
 His patient gave his most emphatic assent.
 Just the wife for you, sir. A mine owner could not find better mate"
 Joyce, you are d fool" The words were uttered with smile, but followed by a sigh.
 Yes, sir. No doubt. Will you take your broth now, sir?"
 Meantime there was no improvement in the state of affairs at the mines. Those of the men who had elected to re- turn to their employment were not di rectly interfered with but every ob stacle was thrown in their way, and the improvements projected by the owner were rendered impossible by the Oppo- sit1on. led by Matthew North. The at tempt to put up bulkheads in the peril ous Ten Foot Drive was frustrated; the carpenters were driven away with blows, and the timbers already in place were torn down. Almost nightly dep relations were committed in the own er s private grounds, eliminating on second and more successful attack upon the stables, in which the handsome and costly buildings were totally destroyed and the animals only saved by strenu-

General Passenger Agent Thompson
OF the Southern California railway last
evening received telegraphic word from
the main office in Chicago that the
Santa Fe had decided to make another
aggressive move in the rate war now
under way.
Mr.. Thompson was notified that the
Santa Fe company had issued circular
to all connecting lines authorizing them
to sell the reduced rate tickets to San
Francisco via Mojsve and return vis
Ogden, or vice versa, or over any lines
which the Southern Pacific had author
lied them to use its cut rate tickets.
The notification further stated that
stop-over tickets will be allowed at any
point in California or these tickets
within their limit; also, that the same
regulations which govern the midwin-
ter fair tickets will be in force on the
Santa Fe tickets in question.
This ie in line with the contract which
the Atlantic and Pacific road has with
the Southern Pacific as regards traffic
over the Union Pacific and other trans
