few ignorant and deiuded people up
to the point Of precipitating this
State into the throes of civil war
in order to carry out their infamous
schemes of plunder and spoliatioh
we serve notice upon them that they
are making a fatal mistake.
The white democrats of Louisiana
have elected Foster as the governor
of this State, and they have no fear
of their ability to inaugurate him at
the proper time. They inaugurated
Nichols with shotguns in their hands
in 1876 and, while they prefer a
peaceable and orderly inauguration
Of Foster in 1896, if shotguns are
necessary to accomplish this they
will be forthcoming; let there be nd
mistake on that point.
Furthermore, If an armed conflict
is precipitated upon the people OF
this State and blood does flow and
human life be lost as result, the
people will know where to locate
the blame. If compelled to main-
tain their government at the muz-
zle Of the shotgun and the Win-
chester they will deal as leniently as
possible with the deluded people
who have been duped, but woe be
unto O'Malley and Warmoth, and
the rest OF the villains who hope to
escape by remaining behind the
scenes! We pray God that our
State may be spared such scenes
but if it be forced upon us and we
are driven to the necessity of meet
ing force with force, then let a clean
sweep be made once and for all.--

ABOUT ALFALFA.
q Valuable Facts That all
Farmers Should Know

AN@0@S
From the department OF agriculture
comes valuable bulletin from the
assistant agrastologist or "grass
expert" Jared G. Smith, and from
it were condensed the following:
Alfalfa seed weighs sixty pounds
to the bushel.
For hay crop SOW twenty-four to
thirty pounds of seed per acre.
For crop OF seed SOW fourteen to
eighteen pounds per acre.
Sow clean seed.
North of the latitude of Washing
ton, D. c., SOW alfalfa in the spring
as soon as the ground is warm-from
the middle of April to the middle of
May. Sow in drills or broadcast.
In the south and southwest and in
California SOW alfalfa in spring or au-
tumn. Sow in drills. In the south
SOW in drills sixteen to twenty inches
apart and cultivate the first season.
Do not cover the seed too deep.
Alfalfa does not obtain maturity
until the third or fourth year, there
fore do not SOW it expecting to get
the best results in less than that time.
Alfalfa grows best on deep, sandy
loan, underlaid by loose and per-
meable subsoil. II will not grow if
there is an excess of water in the soil.
! The land must be well drained.
Alfalfa is deep feeder. Plow the
land thoroughly the deeper the bet
| ter.
Alfalfa thrives best in the soils
containing lime, potash and ma
gnesium. 1t does not grow well il
soils containing an excess of iron, OF
where lime is wholly absent.
| Cut for hay when the first flowers
appear. II cut in full bloom the hay
will be woody and less nutritious.
Cut for seed when the middle
clusters of seed pods are dari
brown.
To make alfalfa hay cut in th'
forenoon and let it wilt; then raks
into windrows. 1t should be cured
in wlndrows and cocks, and stacked
or put in barns with as little handling
as possible. Great care is required
in order to get it in stack before the

around crook, O'Malley, having
been ignominiously repudiated by
the intelligence and respectability
of Louisiana the organ and followers
of the combine are now engaged in
a desperate game of bluff, aud are
declaring that their candidate has
been counted out and that force will
be resorted to in order to seat the
defeated candidate next month.
While it has been demonstrated
that Foster has been elected by
27 900 majority IN spite of the fact
that with few exceptions the me-
groes voted solidly for Pharr, to-
gether with every old back number
office chaser in the State, yet the
combine fuglemen and tin horn
tooterss with one accord maintain
that 1.-THE people, will be in Baton
Rouge in force in order to see that
Pharr 10 inaugurated on the 18th of
May. To judge from the inceadlary
and bloodthirsty differences OF the
blackmailing organ Of the combine
Demas, Wormoth, Cage, Blount,
O'Malley, Puckett, and the whole
brood of black-and-tan harpies who
have followed the waning fortune 3
of the combine during the past cam
paign will make decent upon the
capitol at the opening of the legisla-
ture, and with shotguns in their
hands they propose to shoot down
the representatives of the law, to
trample upon the liberties of the
people and install Pharr at any
cost.
1t is perfectly natural that Domi-
nick O'Malley and Henry Clay
Warmoth, seeing their utter dis
comfiture in this campaign, would
be entirely willing to work their de-
luded victims up to the point of at
tempting to override the laws of
Louisiana and forcibly seating in
the governors chair man who has
been overwhelmingly repudiated by
the people. These willy tricksters
imagine that they have everything
to gain by such an attempt. while if
the effort should fail, as it surely
must, the poor dupes who may be-
come the victims of their cupidity
will alone be the ones to suffer, while
Warmoth and O'Malley will take
care that they do not come near
harms way.
It they are calculating upon any
thing of this sort, however, we de-
sire to say to them once and for all
that they are reasoning entirely
without their host. If those corrupt
scoundrels for moment imagine

Women Burned to Death.

The careless throwing of a lighted
match into pile Of waste paper by a
boy in shirt waist factory at Troy,
N. Y, on Monday started fire which
destroyed the factory and caused the
loss of several lives.
Thirty minutes before the evening
closing hour, when the $50 girls and
women employed in the factory were
working rapidly to finish up, Lille
Kreiger, who was working near ma
chine in the cutting-room on the fifth
floor, called to a small boy to light
the gas over her work. The boy struck
a match and threw the burning stub
to the floor. 1t struck pile of oily
rags andin an instant the girl was en-
veloped in flames. With her clothes
and hair burning she rushed to the
window, and in an instant the room
became a struggling, shrieking mass
of humanity, filing the windows, the
fire escapes and the only stairway.
Jamming and pushing, tearing each
others clothes from their backs, turn
ing in narrow corridors TO find a sister
or mother or friend, the number in the
exits augmented every minute by those
from the other floors, these girls and
women fought for their lives to get
away from the flames that spread
through the building. Finally they
began to jump from the windows.
Three were instantly killed in this
way, and many injured. Others were
rescued by the fremen from ladders
placed at the windows. Supe.intend-
ent Willard, of the police force, says
he saw a number of girls at windows
who never came ont, but fell back into
the flames. One fireman who was
working from the rear saw three girls
with their arms wound tightly abont
each other turn in their frenzy and
Jump back into the flames.
The total money loss by the fire
will be about S250,000

Our Candidate for Governor.

The UdkcHman presents for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor of West
Virginia the Hon. A. 5. cambridge OF
Jefferson county.
The Democratic party Of West Nir-
ginia cannot expect TO win the contest
which is before us with mere pollu-
clan at the head of the ticket. Some
thing else will be required OF our STAN
dard- bearer beyond the skill OF the in
triguer and the trimmer. High char
acter. intelligent capacity and fervent
patriotism are the essentials. Win we
the confidence of the people by Offering
them man of this moral and intellec-
tual stature, and we shall win this bat
tie.
Mr.. cambridge fully measures up to
these important requirements. lie is
but farmer in the county OF Jefferson,
but in all that goes to make up manly
man and faithful Democrat he is the
peer of the best that this State can boast
Of In the Confederate army he served
with consistent gallantry for four long
wears. but when peace came he addressed
himself to the duties of good citizen
shin as a loval son Of reunited country.
Three times have the people OF Jefferson
chosen him to represent them IN the
Legislature of the State, and he has done
so with ability and fidelity. he is
fluent speaker and man OF large eau
cation. ENJOYING the resources OF a we'll
stored mind In purity OF character,
in warmness of heart and in unfelgned
love ofcountry Mr.. cambridge has never
had superior among the public men of
this State. The writer had the honor to
serve with him in two Legislatures, UNI
der circumstances which often tried the
strength of good principle, and he is
enabled to say without reservation that
Mr.. cambridge is a high-souled gen
tleman, without fear and without re-
proach.
This is the stamp of manhood whom
we would have to lead the Democratic
hosts of West Virginia.
While we commend our friend to the
favor of his party comrades because he
is worthy of their trust we furthermore
advise his nomination for the reason
that il would be Il long-SOught recognl-
ton of that section of the State which
is the very Gibraltar of Democracy. In
the conflicts of the past how have anXl-
Gus Democrats strained their ears TO
catch the news from Jefferson, ana now
often has doubt been turned into the
certainty of victory and the great Dem
ocratic heart thrilled with JOY as that
grand old county swung into line with
her fourteen hundred Democratic ma
iorltv. Yet Jefferson has never been
granted the honor of furnishing Dem
ocratic Governor.
Let us bestow it upon her now, fell
low Democrats of West Virginia, by the
nomination Of A. S. cambridge. We be-
lieve that there will be a hearty response
to this from the yeomanry of our party
who love genuine worth, who are tired
of being made the apologiSts of profess
Sional politicians, and who will welcome
leader of whom they can stand up
and saw to all the world This is man

but as dogs are not property in West
Virginia the indictment was brought
for stealing the chain with which the
canine was fastened A plea of guilty
was entered aud the court imposed a
sentence Of one hundred seconds in jail.
