Senator Hill said he knew of nothing

tor from Kansas in charging that this bill
was to meet with any filbustering. So
far as he was concerned Senator PETER
declared that he had not used the word
filbustering since he had been in the
senate. He had said that the senator
from New York and the senator from
Pennsylvania Quay had made up their
minds to defeat the collection of the in

garded the amendment proposed by them
as the first step in that proceeding.

Arrangements have been made for a
test vote on the Nicaragua canal bill
some time this week. A motion will be
made by Senator George, of Mississippi,
to lay the bill on the table. If this mo-
tion is defeated by any such decisive
vote as the friends of the bill claim it will
be decided to push the bill to an early
vote. If any great opposition is shown
it is probable the bill will be withdrawn.
The OBJ ject of the test vote is to ascertain

Hon. Gabriel Montegut,

In the Times Democrat of last Fri
day appears strong statement of facts
by this staunch old democratic patriot,
brought out in an interview with him
sought by the correspondent Of that
paper.
The name of Gabriel Montegut is
Synonymous with pure and honest
democracy. Whenever you see the
democratic banner waving on the field
of contest you will always find Gabriel
Montegut with his face to the foes of
true democratic principles, supporting
and defending that banner.
No man stands higher than he does
in the State in all respectable is a
gentleman worthy of the confidence of
the people. He is an honest, open,
brave fighter for what he believes to be
right, and none are truer-man to man
than he is
The Item had been looking for a
ringing announcement by him of his
position on the leading questions of the
day. and when it came it was just what
we had pictured in our minds eye, thus
filling the full measure of our hopes and
expectations.
He has laid down good lines for dem
ocrats in this State to follow. He is
solid for ballot reform, for silver and
for the selection of candidate for Gov
ernOr upon whom the democracy can
unite in the next ampaign.-Baton

The combination Of the kinetoscope
with the phonograpb, upon the perfec-
ton Of which Thomas A. Edison and
his assistant, William K. L. Dickson,
have been working for several years,
has been made practical, aud will be
offered to the public within a short time
in the shape of an instrument which
will show and give phonetic express
sion spontaneously. The combination,
while new to the public, has been work.
ing in the Edison laboratory for some
time. While perfectiDg the kaleidoscope
experiments were carried on looking to
the harnessing Of the phonograph with
the machine, and plan was found by
which it was accomplished. With the
offering Of the new invention a change
will be made in the character of the
objects ard scenes photographed by the
kinetogtaph. While the kinetoscope
was only optical, the desire was to get
scenes 10 which there was variety of
action, s0nnd, of course, being disre-
garded. Therefore such subjects as
prize fights, dancing, and scenes of
violent action were in demand With
the new combination, however, the eye
and ear both being enlisted, the range
of subjects will be largely increased,
and many things that could not be por-
trayed effectively will now become
available. 1t will now be possible to
reproduce an entire opera, with all the
action and music, by the use of num-
Der Of instruments working in success
sion. The new field opened is, in fact,
practically inexhaustible.

1t is remarkable with what ease the

explains away all mysteries connected
with this question. How immeasura-

on his return wrote as follows:
The Houston reunion was the largest
the veterans have had since the close of
the war.
Gen. Gordon was reelected Com
mander Of the Z. c. V.'s without Oppo-
sition. He is idolized by the old he

whom adOres her because she is the
daughter of the illustrious Jefferson
Davis.
At the first business meeting of the
reunion when Gen. Gordon made his
appearance there was such rebel

The Truth. of Baton Rouge, insists,
with perhaps shade Of petulance and
little more emphasis than seems neces-
sary, that it's statement conceGning the
canvass OF the Press Association at
Donaldsonville on the question Of gov
ernor, to which we mildly dbmurred,
was absolutely correct. We smay say
that we have no doubt that spme sort
of a canvass was actually madg, though
we never heard of it until we read the
Truths statement; and we ,Vleerfully
concede that to that extent ito Truth
was correct. But inasmuche as the
Truth asserted that g thoro;gh can
vass" was made. and inasmucI as we
know of at least two membe,.s of the
Association who were not approached,
we are conscious of the fact THAT the
Truth is mistaken in that respect, not
withstanding it's positive ASSOCIATIONS,
and We cannot therefore co.. sistently
withdraw our demurrer altogether.
