Our primary election held in this
parish last Saturday was success
in every way, and the Peoples par
ty of the parish is proud OF the
result.
The vote is a large one. Not.
withstanding a sharp detection in
wards ) and Z, on account of OppO.
sitiOn to primaries in general, our
party succeeded in polling about
2-thirds of its white votes In the
parish, and over one halt Of the
total registered white vote of the
parish.
The result shows that our party
is enthusiastic, conservative and
determined, and that it has made a
healthy and vigorous growth du-
ring the past year.
The ticket named is a strong one,
and one of which every Populist
will be proud. 1t will command
the full strength of she party, and
will catch mere and there many
a stray vote from both the other
parties. 1t is a thoroughly repre-
sentative ticket, and will strength
en- our party at home and in other
parishes.
The candidates defeated in the
primary were quite as good men,
and made excellent runs, each one
carrying his home ward, save where
two lived in the same, and but for
the fact that all could not win.
none would have been defeated.
1t weuld be impeaching their in
tegrity and doubling their true
manhood to insinuate that any one
of them will fail to give his loyal
support to the ticket, and we have
already heard free and full assu-
RANGES to that effect from each one.
of them.
We have hOisted this ticket at
our masthead, and for it we are 60
ing to work will will that will not
waver until victory is ours.
Let Populists close up the ranks
and rally around their banner, and
they are sure to push their ticket
to victory.

In 1899 the leaders of the pres
cnt administration faction said,
"the elimation of the farmers from
the democratic party would make
it look like sucked orange. "
These same leaders have succeeded
pretty well in eliminating the
farmers" from their wing of the
Democratic party, and We take
their word for it as to the condi-
tion-pulp and rine is about all

Let our party throw down the
gauntlet to the Democrats by in
viting them into a white primary,
the defeated ticket to be withdrawn.
Just as soon as the Democratic
ticket is nominated we must make
them accept or shoulder all the
blame for fraudulent elections (;
place upon them the negro vote
when they refuse, which they no
doubt will, to agree to q white
mans choice of government.
The following extract expresses
the sentiments of every honest
man in the country:
A man who knows that he is dis
honestly elected to Office knows if
he accepts the Office he becomes
(if he is not already party to
three grave crimes-theft, / erjury
and conspiracy.
To steal u vote cast by a negro
is as much q theft as to run your
hand into that negro's pocket and
steal his money. Yet a man who
would steal a vote might not at
first steal money, but he surely
will in time. A practice becomes
a habit, and hence we have dis
honest officials.
''Thcu shalt not steal," was
thundercd down from Sinai. Yet
this divine command is laughed at
by the politicians who are the
bene6ciaries of the theft, and coun-
tonanced by Christians, who in

those who are watching the rapidly-chang-

New York yesterday had an experience
somewhat similar to that suffered by
Washington when the old Ford's Theater
building collapsed. The number of lives
sacrificed in the weak structure which
tumbled down yesterday was not as great
as that on the theater death roll, but for
this fact those whose carelessness is re-
sponsible are not entitled to any credit.
Whether the aM full occurrence was the re-
suit of defective material, or of overload
ing of the floors with building material,
cannot be established until the building de-
partment has made thorough investigation.
One feature of the affair will strike most
people favorably. The police at once came
to the conclusion that the building had
collapsed because somebody failed to do
what ought to have been done; the con-
tractor ard his Superintendent were at
once arrested, ard there was ample excuse
for that promptness in the probability
that those who were putting up the build
ing We're undoubtedly responsible for what
happened. When the ruins have been COM

The local merchants who used the side
walks and who were accused of illegally
occupying and obstructing public property
were not permitted the privilege of sus-
pending the law until they could apply to
the next Congress for the laws repeal or
amendment. Why should the lexington
railway, now Illegally occupying and OBJ
structing the public streets with trolley
poles, be granted this privilege? No one of
the merchants against whom the law was
enforced had the assurance to claim that
the law should be suspended because
through mismana cement, lack of fore
thought and of desire and preparation to
obey the law he had no money on hand to
provide a place for the goods illegally dis
played on the sidewalk. Why should the
lexington railway be permitted to nullify
the law on any such plea? Can the railway
take advantage of it's own wrong and gain
the privilege of defying the law Indefinitely
merely by refraining from preparing to
obey the law during the several years
which were granted to 1T for this purpose?
The Commissioners and the courts did not
consider that it was any of their business
to see that the merchants had comfortable
and convenient accommodations for their
goods and customers within the legal limits
of their stores. Is it any business of the
courts and Commissioners what legal
method of running it's line the lexington
railway shall adopt as substitute for that
which the law prohibits? In all such cases
the authorities say to trespassers: Cease
to disobey the law! Remove your illegal
distractions! 1t is not our business to tell
you what legal method of conducting your
business you shall adopt, but only to en-
force the law, and to prevent you from
acting Illegally"

Nobody yearns for street-car horses on
New York avenue. The blame for them if
they appear there will attach entirely to
the lexington railway, which, instead Of
defying the law, should now have running
some one of the legal mechanical motors.
The law DEGREES that the trolley must go,
and legal motor must be employed, even
if, owing to the inaction of the railway, it
is the Anticipated car-horse. So far. how

. Announcement is made that the French
government has been so very much pleased
by the performance of the United States
Cruiser Columbia in her speedy trans-At-
lantic voyage that there have been ordered
as additions to the French navy two cruis
ers which shall as nearly as possible be
duplicates of the famous pirate" 1mita-
ton being the sincerest form of fattery,
the compliment to American designers and
American shipbuilders is one worth having
But the French admiralty would do well
to bear in mind the fact that people do
not always get what they order, and gen.
orally because those of whom the product
Is demanded are not possessed of the skill
necessary to the proper production. The
logic of this therefore is that if France
really wants well-built and surprisingly
swift cruisers the order should be placed in
the United States. British, French and
German shipbuilders have many times ex-
erted themselves to do extraordinarily well,
but none of them has ever approached the
record made by skilled Americans. In the
quality Of material employed our warshps
are very much superior to any others
afioat, while the finish given their every
detail, even to the most minute, is beyond
compare; Vice Admiral Sir John Hopkins
Of the British navy has testified that our
guns are marvelously perfect; and now the
record established by the Columbia dded
to the record made by that same cruiser
on her trial trip-makes certain our su-
premacy in the important essentials of en-
gines and boilers. 1t is IN the latter re-
spects that France has been weak. some of
the ships from which much in the way of
speed was expected having turned out to be
conspicuous failures. OF course the French
people would be inclined to find fault with
an administration which would even per-
nit American shipbuilders to bid for con-
tracts on French war yesseIs, but it is
nevertheless certain that if France wants
the two new cruisers to be as good as their
prototype she had better let an American
firm do the constructing

NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
Yale and Harvard VIII Have Set
of Their Own.

New York, Sept. 11.-At last the rules
to govern in the Intercollegiate football
games this fall have reached the public.
There will be practically two sets, one
governing Yale and Princeton and the
other covering the games played by Har-
ward, Pennsylvania and Cornell.
The first important schange relates to
rule 8 on the fair catch" Yale and
Princeton will not compel the back to
raise his hand as sign that he intends
to catch the ball, but he must make a
mark in the ground with his heel the mo-
ment the ball is caught. If he js interfered
with then or thrown by an opponent he
will receive 10 yards, unless that would
carry HIM across his opp onents' goal
line, when he would receive only half
the distance. If he chooses the back can run
with the ball until tackled.
In the Harvard code the back cannot
run with the ball after catching it, but
must pass it to one of his own side, who
can run or kick it. If The ball is muffed,
the opponents will have an equal chance
to get it. 49,,
According to the Yale code, there will
be q referee, an umpire and Iinesman,
who will have an assistant;
In games played by PENNSYLVANIA, Har
ward and Cornell there win be. two UNI
pires, referee and iinesman.
Yale and Princeton wilt penalize Off
side play by enforcing a rule that says that
il player when off-side touches the ball
inside the opponents yard line, the ball
shall go to the opponents.
These colleges also make a move in the
right direction by practically abolishing
wedges and mass plays According to their
amendment to rule 80 not more than one
man shall start forward before the ball is
in play, and not more than three men
shall group themselves at point behind
the line of scrimmage. Seven men or
more must be in the rush line until the
leather has been snapped back, except
that the end rusher may drop back, pro-
vided he does not pass within the posi-
ton occupied by the man playing ada
cent tackle. nc
Harvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell will
stick to the old style OF knocking one an
other over like human catapults.

men shall not be required to wear tags, and
that il the new system is introduced at all
the men need only show the brass checks
TO the time-keepers whenever they are
requested.
The iron workers are feeling jubilant
over this victory, but the questions In dis
pute have not all been settled. The prin-
cipal bone of contention is now over requir-
ing the tonnage men to submit to the clock
system, and it is believed that the company
will concede this point also.
