II is natural to sympathize with
such a misfortune. But society
must protect itself from the ambi-
eious schemer who borrows his part
ner's money by forgery quite as
much as against the sneak-thief and

respected, they must be administered
equally toward rich and poor, high

We are, 1t will be seen, tar more
marrying race than our British,
Scotch or Irish cousins. The lat
ter, in particular, are very careful,
and show great prudence in selecting
companions for life. 1t will also be
seen that women stand q better
chance of getting married in this
country than men, only 20 per cent
of them remaining old maids, while
81 per cent of the men are doomed
to bachelorhood. It is different in
Great Britain and all other countries,
where a greater percentage of the
men marry. The reason of
this is obvious-an excess of women
elsewhere, of men here. The
chances of a woman marrying in
the United States are S to I, in
Great Britain less than 3 to I. 1t is
somewhat surprising to learn that
new states like Washington and
Montana show the largest proper

Utah the smallest, 81 per cent.

The following is about the worst
rot we ever saw in a newspaper.
It is taken from the Bienvillc Ad-
vance, q paper edited by one Mr..
Drew:
The people of the Southern portion of the
State are closely allied to the mixed race and
accord the negro almost the same privileges
that the whites enjoy.
If the driveling idiot who wrote
the above infamous falsehood knew
anything about the condition of
affairs in this section he certainly
would not have wasted the ink that
1t took to print such an absurdity.
We hope for the good name of the
Louisiana Press Association that
this Mr.. Drew is not the person by
that name who visited Crowley at
the last meeting of the association.
