Mr.. Kernochan, a leading Demo
crat of Louisiana, openly in a
speech at Point a-la-hache, on the
10Th inst, among other things,
said: ''Of course the negro ques-
ton has been brought up, but that
score won't work. Democratic
Governor elect Oates, of Alabama,
was elected by the black counties
against Populist Kolb, who carried
the white counties-this is a direct
admission that the intelligent white
people are leaving the Democratic
party, and that they are going into
the Peoples party. 1t is also proof
that the Democratic leaders of
southern Louisiana were insincere
when they fell behind the old cry
of negro domination to prevent the
passage of a reform election law"

1t was decided to allow the chair
man to fill vacancies at his leisure,
as it is expected there will be much
good material to select from in the
representatives of labor Organiza-
tons which will meet to take po-
litical action.
The call being one of the people
it was decided that they being the
supreme power, could defer the
regular organization of first dis
trict committee and vest its pow
ers in the parish committee until
they saw fit to organize.
The committee of eight from
the open meeting of The Industrial
Legion having issued an address to
the different labor organizations,
and having been discharged the
following well known labor repre-
sentatives issued call in order to
unite as. far as possible, all labor
organizations in the common cause
of reform.
1t was then agreed to defer all
action until October End, in order
if possible, to unite with labor or
CARNATIONS, and agree upon a can
didate standing squarely upon the
principle of organized labor.
Speeches were then made by rep
resentatives from different labor
organizations who were present as
invited guests, after which COM
mittee of eleven was appointed by
the Chairman to act in conjunction
with the labor organizations.

Sugar Bounty Paid.
Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-The re-
port of the action of the sugar
planters convention in New Or
leans, favoring an alliance with the
Republicans, calls attention to the
sugar bounty. The records show
that during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1894, payments of boun-
ty aggregated S12, O90,S99, OF
which S11, ia, 800 was on the cane
sugar. Of the bounty on cane SUI
gar $40, S6S, 1914 was paid in Louis
lana and S223,664 in Texas.
Figures on the acreage for the pre-
ceding year show that in Louisiana
the bounty average 1882 for each
acre of cane and in Texas $3.50.
1t is believed the average in Louis
lana for the year ending June 30,
1894, will be $53.

THE MONGOLIAN BUILD.

One of the surprises encountered by
| the traveller when he is first cast among
Mongoljans is their physical develop
ment. Americans are wont to Judge
their bodily structure by the specimens
in the laundry shops of Sam Lee or
Wi Ping; and the loose clothing of the
Chinaman conceals his brawny arms
and legs when he has them. Seeing

chunks of men with an abnormal mus
cular development-had not brushed
away my idea that the Chinaman was
rather a slim, unmuscular Oriental,
something like the willowy Hindu but
when landed in Singapore and first
saw numbers of coolies stripped to their
massive proportions.
| The Chinese are commonly said to be
a diseased race, a people permeated
with blood poisons; but one does not
see it in the average specimen, and one
does see at every street corner men
with limbs and torsos like Sandow,
men who would be marked down for
football players in any American coll
lege. Not but what disease is always
an accompaniment of so crowded a
population; not that its manifestations
fail to impress you; but the Chinaman,
far from being a taper-fingered mortal,
is a tough, sturdy, fine fellow, with
thews and sinews like an athlete, and
plenty of ambition and courage-within
his racial lines Nor hive L found any
exception to the rule.
| The Mongol from the borders of
India, where, going east, you first strike
his homely coarseness, to the confines
of Japan, where you say goodbye to
his lovely cherry blossoms and his
smiling bows, is everywhere, in physi-
que the same strong enduring man.
The Chinaman is filthy in mind, body,
and estate; the japanese is equally
clean; but in more physical quality they
are very much alike. That the Mon
gol's nervous structure is less fine than
the Anyans is evidenced by the fact
that the average Chinaman will endure
unf1inclled the pain of d surgical
operation which would seriously COM
| promise the reactionarl power of most
white men; and this, if anything, adds

THE COST TO discover a,rER1c,

When every one is joining in the ma
tional Thanksgiving day and giving
praises for possessing the dement's of
the great country we live in, it is a
question of some interest to know how
much money it took to discover this
land for the finding of which so, 900, 900
of people are expressing their graft
tude.
1t is not as colossal a sum as one
would think, especially in comparison
with money values today, that is, if we
are to judge at AL from the items of
Columbus expedition. It cost only
100000 Spanish maravedis, which is
/ about $500 according ito our present
standard.
Think of it! Only two-thirds of the
amount rich men give today as a SIM
Pile legacy. About one-sixth of the
president of the United States salary
and less than one-hundredth of what
Mr., Vanderbilt pays for one of his
houses.
In the archives preserved in Madrid
it is stated that $3.50 was given to
Christopher Columbus for his services.
He had two captains under him who
reviewed $195 each, and the sailors got
$3.50 month, besides their rations.
The rest of the $500 covers the cost OF
ships and fittings.
1t seems rather odd that the desire
for so small sum on Columbus part,
should have thrown the treasures of
Spain into such a fiutter and caused
Isabella, the queen, to have been COM
PEELED to pawn her crown jewels to
raise this amount. When people read
of all the grandeur of those Old-day
Kingdoms, one naturally thinks of the
people spending millions of dollars, but
evidently they knew nothing of luxur-
les or vast enterprises as the men liv-
ing now There certainly are no such
investments in these days as to ad-
vance $500 for millions and millions.

for about twelve hours. AT the end of
that time, roll the paste out one-half
an inch thick and cut it into small
cakes, and a split and blanched al

must be baked for twenty-five minutes

LAUGH AND GROW FAT.
[From Am the Year Round.

Garrick was in the midst of TRACE
dy when suddenly he stopped and
roared with laughter. What was the
cause? Why, simply this: "a butcher
in the front of the pit, who had taken
off his wig to wipe the sweat from his
head, had placed the wig for while
upon his large dog, who stood facing
the stage with his fore paws resting on
the pit ratings"
This is as good an example as could
be found to contest the foolish asser-
ton that all laughter has its rise in
something inevitably lowering to hui
man nature. 1t was pure incongruity.
The French tell US that 'le rire est
hygienique." We knew that even be-
fore they made the phrase, but it is
we'll to have their confirmation of the
fact. Salubrious! Why, of course it is.
For what purpose else did our wise
forefathers keep certifcated fools to
make sport for them at their meals
and in their intervals of business or
more methodical pleasure seeking?

raise again. then put butter and sugar
on the top and bake.
This quantity will make three good
sized ones. They are always baked in
round tins. Sugar cake always has an
unbroken upper crust, with a glazing
of sugar, but Dutch cake is embellish-
ed by holes dotted at intervals, filled
with butter, sugar and cinnamon.
This marks one great difference in the
two, while coffee cake is further ado4n-
ed with currants.
When properly mixed they are de-
licious and make an excellent piece
for children. One housekeeper bakes
them in angel cake moulds, which gives
them a very nice appearance, only it
isn't Moravian. No self-respe cting Mo-
ravian would ever think of deviating
from the round cakes.
