The war cloud which has been
rather onimous since the controversy
over the Venezuelan boundary ques'
ton and the attempted interference
of Germany in the Transvaal inva-
sion by the agents of the British
African Trading Company, has
about blown over and there is every
indication that these matters will be
adjusted without resorting to armed
force. The English government will
not go to war with the United

has about realized that he cannot

constitute the best rule uf action for an
enlightened people under q democratic
republican form of government:
Resolved, That we point with pride to
the record made by the Democratic party
through the present administration,
marked by honest, faithful and business
like management of every State Interest,
evidenced by the improved condition OF
its finances-its bonds above par; it's debt
being gradually retired; itspubllc lnstltu-

a cash basis; its constantly growing ana
improved public school system; a com
plete leyee system; it's expenses kept be-
low it's revenues, and its obligations
promptly paid in cash and universal con-
fidence established and maintained; that
the management of the affairs OF our par
ishes under Democratic rule furnishes
equal source of congratulations, as shown
by the settlement Of a large Judgment and
floating debt; the absence OF any out
standing claims; the prompt payment OF
current expenses, as well as their mate

ton of this condition of State and local
administration is the principal issue in
the coming election.
Whereas, there is an honest difference
of opinion among Democrats upon the
question of the free coinage of silver, BIZ
metallism and monometallism; and
Whereas, this convention deals only with
State politics; and
Whereas, the money question belongs
to the domain of national politics only,
therefore be it
Resolved, That this convention refer
this question to to the Democracy OF the
State when they select delegates to the
national convention and in nominating
their candidates to the legislature, State
Senate and members of Congress.
Resolved, That we indorse and reaffirm
the Monroe doctrine as announced in the
recent message Of the President of the
United States addressed to Congress on the
Venezuela question, and that we pledge
the support of this State to all proper
measures that may be taken for its en-
forcement.

begins to be apparent that the Pop
ulists and Republicans will combine
and put ont a State ticket. Such a
combination is about as homogeneous
as any that could be invented. La
Gods name what have the Populists
and Republicans in common? The
Pops want a white mans govern
ment and restricted suffrage. OF
course, the Republicans oppose this
idea. The Pops are for free coin
age and niDe-tenths Of the Republl-
cans are for the gold standard. Re
publicans are high protectionlsts;
the Pops are not. On every single
national issue the two parties are as
vide apart as the poles. The only
thing the two parties have in com
mon is hatred of the Democratic
party, and this is the basis OF thu
union. 1t would be well for thu
Democrats to remember that there
are great issues involved in tn
coming campaign and no chance
should be taken. The opposition
will be organized in every parish
and the lust for parish Offices is s.
g.eat that in many instances th
suffrage amendment and the stat
: ticket will be sold out unless eterna
