LOUISIANA ELECTIONS.

1t is now stated that Foster, who
claims to have been recently elected
governor of Louisiana, will be inaug-
urated without any trouble, the oppo-
sition having concluded that the con-
test which they threatened to make
would be useless. That Mr.. Foster
received plurality of the legal votes
cast nobody pretends. That he was
deliberately counted in by those who
had control of the voting machinery
all Louisiana Democrats admit, and
most Of them appear to glory in the
victory they have won in that way.
Foster was the regular Democratic
candidate, and his opponent was
Mr.. Pharr, who was supported by
combination of Republicans, Popu-
lists, sugar planters and other protec-
ton Democrats. The majority which
is claimed for Foster was mostly stol-
en- in parishes where nearly all the
legal voters are negroes who were not
allowed to vote. In some of these
parishes, where there are all told only
1923 white voters against 81, 252 negro
voters, the returns of the election Of
fcers gave Foster 1882 and Pharr
only 467, while in the white parishes
of the state, where the negroes had
the protection of white neighbors,
Pharr had a majority of 1852. From
many of the precincts in the black
belt more Foster votes were returned
than there are men, women and child
rem residing within their limits.-M5r-

ECONOMY IN STATE EXPENSES.

DERBY, VT, May s, 1896.

My Dear Mr.. Messer: Yours of the
fourth inst. stating the desire Of your
committee to know my views upon
the subject matter of state expenses,
has been considered and for answer
will say: I regard it the duty of every
citizen of Vermont to lend his infiu-
ence and cast his vote to secure the
minimum of expenditure in state dis
bursements. Every state expense
should be kept upon the most eco
fare of the public service. Economy,
always virtue, becomes in the exig-
encies of the times a necessity, and
should be practiced as well in public
as private affairs. Our public outgoes
should be measured by our income
which, upon a just and equal basis,
should be regulated according to the
ax-paying ability of the people and
needs Of the state. Subjected to the
lowest price known in years for ev-
erything he produces, the farmer may

administering the affairs of state; and
being farmer / sincerely sympathize
with him and hope he will in common
with all tha neoD1a of the state CON
tend for simplicity and economy,
which will more surely than anything
else lead US to prosperity and happi-
ness. [ am in accord with the pur
pose of the resolutions to which you
refer. Thanking you for the honor
Of your inquiry, am,
Cordially,
JOSIAH CIRCUIT.
LUDLOW, VT, May 16, 1896.
Alpha Messer, Esq, Sec, etc.
My Dean. Sir:-On my return home
to day I find your esteemed favor of
the ninth inst, and in reply would
say that I believe in making all state
expenditures as small as is consistent
with an efficient administration Of the
state government; and while the state
cannot afford TO pursue a parsimo-
NOUS course either with it's institu-
tions or officers, at the same time the
strictest economy should be practiced
in all departments, and official sala-
ries should be limited to a fair COM
pensation for services actually rem
dered The times are hard and taxes
should be reduced as much as they
can be and pay as we go. Iremain,

Wednesday afternoon was a surprise
even to his friends. 1t had been ex-

nobody had been bold enough to pre-
dict such vote as 1876 to 26. The test
was on rising vote, and the opposi-
ton was SO insignificant that when
Fitzgerald of Massachusetts, tried to
get a vote by yeas and nays he could
not muster the necessary one fifth.
Fitzgerald was the only New England
member to vote against the bill. The
two days debate had shown that
there was very general sentiment
in the house favorable to restriction
of some kind and the test proved that
the restriction desired was in the line
of the reading and writing test.

whether the candidate be Reed, Ali

the fight of their lives over this ques-
ton. They will claim that two thirds
rule can only be abolished by two

tions the Chicago convention prom
ises to be even more entertaining
than the affair at ST. Louis. Indeed,
the latter may prove to be rather tame.

TEN MILLIONS FOR DEFENCE.


That spasm of sham economy which
led the national Senate at Germans
instigation to cut down the number
of new battleships from four to two
seems to have spent itself. Most of
the men who followed the Maryland
boss have come to their senses. and
though the Senate sub committee had
added nearly five million dollars to
the Notifications bill the measure
was passed without any important
opposition.
AS it came from the House this bill
carried direct appropriations amount
ing to 1916, 1897, besides authorizing
the Secretary of War to make con-
tracts involving the expenditure of
So, 542, 276 more. This was an extra
ordinarily liberal provision, and there
was m UGH fear that the Senate would
reduce it. But on the contrary, it
has added direct appropriations ag-
gregating $780, 51, making the total
amount carried by the bill $40, 1853, 1888,
or nearly three million dollars more
than the War Departments estimates.
This is unprecedented generosity.
The appropriation for the present fis-
cal year is only 81 1904, 557. This great
sum which Congress has placed at the
disposal Of the War Department will
enable work to be begun on compre-
hensive scale for the fortifying of all
our chief harbors after the most ap
proved modern designs, and it will
enable the work in hand to be very
considerably extended.
No year of peace has ever witnessed
such elaborate preparation for nation
al defence as this year 1896. 1t is full
time that the public and Congress
were thoroughly awakened, for the
scandalous neglect and inefficiency
into which our coast and harbor for
tifications have been allowed to fall
within the past decade or two is
new experience for the American
people.
Thousands of friends, every old SOL
der and all genuine Methodists will
be pleased to learn that &C. McCabe,
"Chap1ain McCabe, ), has been elected
Bishop of the M. E. church. Few men
are better known throughout the
country. He has been most useful
member of the great church as Secre-
tary of the Missionary society and in
the lecture field. He is we'll known
in Vermont, having visited many of
the annual conferences and having
been called to the State to give his
celebrated lecture on ssThe Sunny
Side of Libby Prison!''f He is great
orator, an able manager and very
devout Christian man. Earl Cranston
of Cincinnati, another very prominent
man of the church, who had contest [
ed the election with McCabe, has also !
been elected bishop. The work of the
General Conference is pretty we'll ad-
vanced and the session will probably
end this month.
