NO CHANGE WANTED.

We have it on good authority that
Al effort will be made at the next
meeting of the State Central commit
tee of the Democratic party to
change the basis Of representation
allotted to each parish by agreement
obtained by vote Of the people in
1892. It is claimed that this effort
will be made in the interest of Coy
ernor Foster, thus allowing his
friends in big negro parishes, on
their number, to send large delega-
tons to the convention for him.
This, in our opinion is all wrong and
should not be sanctioned at all. As
tar rs we are concerned We are grow
ing heartily tired Of chicanery in the
management Of our public affairs; of
setting aside the will and expressed
desires OF the people by cunning de-
vises end stragetic movements.
Louisiana has been so ridden by pol
tiles until the hearts and consciences
of many have long since been unre-:,
sponsive to the appeals Of their bet
ter natures, but have been ever ready
to surrender their wills to the teach
ings of the common idea that all acts,
however INSCRIPTIONS, are justified
by the ethics of politics. But this
should not be so and we move that
the people turn over new leaf and
pay some regard to manhood, justice
and fairplay.

Dropping Their G's.

The best bred men in England have
the habit of habitually dropping their
"g's' in words ending in 'ing,' such
as going, running, walking, etc.
Some Of the younger generation Of
America are Mortified when they hear
this thing done by older people and set
it down as mark Of ignorance.

eminent Dean Hole of England in his

he invariably drops his "g's," and they
are looking up his authority for it. His
authority is simply common usage

SHOULD REQUIRE MORE PENI-
TENCE,

It IS claimed that President Cleye.
laud now admits he made an error in
not accepting the proposition of com
promise made by the silver men when
the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act was before Con
gress. and some of his admirers seem
to think that an honest and manly
confession is full palliation for the
same. This we doubt very much,
even from casnistic standpoint. AS
rule we believe in extending fall
FORGIVENESS to all who crave it in
humble or honest confession of the
sin or error, but vixen one persists in
a course which his nearest and best
friends warn him will lead to his own
injury as we'll as a community he IS

tension of pardon, made upon a con-
fession based upon disaster caused
by an error of a perverse Judgment.

MuxtaCho Versus Music,

Anton Rubinstein is quoted thus in
reference to women artists:
81 think ladies ought never to study
music as an art At least, they ought
not to take UP the time Of teachers who
are able to teach and make true artists.
And ! will tell you why. There Is nc
question but there are 20 musical ladies

rience is that they learn more quickly,
have more poetry, and, in fact, are more
diligent pupils than men. But what is
the inyariable result? When a young
lady has become perfect artist, some
handsome mustache comes along, and

CONDOR A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Visitors Expect to See a Bird That Rivals
In Size the Fab1ed Roc.

Visitors Expect to See a Bird That Rivals
In Size the Fabled Roc.
If the visitor to the geological gardens
will make his way to the vUltures
aviary, he will find a condor of the An.
DIES.
When he sees the great somber plum
aged bird sitting on the tree stump in the
middle Of a not too roomy cage, his first
feeling will probably be one Of disap-
pointment. Some Of this disappointment
must be put down to the highly cxag'
gerated accounts of early writers. The
measurement of IS feet has been given
as the wing spread Of bird actually
killed and tapped. Darwin shot one in
1884 with a wing spread of 5 feet t
inches, and it measured t feet from
beak to tail The measurements of one
that fell to HumboIdt's gun tally pretty
closely with those of the bird that Oar
win killed.
Part of the disappointment is no doubt
due to the surroundings. One has form.
ed vivid mental pictures of the bird
sailing at q great height without an ef-
fort, soaring i'll graceful circles, or Gid
ing down like lightning upon its prey.
One sees it sitting with its head drawn
down between it's wings, and its plum
age draggled, without sufficient space
over which to run to gather momentum
for rise, or height enough to fly if it
could leave the ground. Sometimes,
from the top Of its perch, it attempts to
use its wings, but its efforts result in
failure.
1t was long supposed that condors
hunted by scent, but experiments have
proved that the sense of smell in these
birds is byno means keen. They proba-
bly, discover their food by sight, and the
descent of one bird serves as a signal to
others at q distance.
A young condor is much prettier OBJ
ject than an old one. 1t is clothed en-
tirely il white down, and when it set
ties itself to sleep, with its feet hidden
and its head tucked away, it looks like
a fluffy white ball.
,s The plumage of the adult is black,
with white ruff round the neck, and
the quilts have white edging, which
becomes broader at each successive
