Married at Noon, To-Day.

BAR HARBoR, Maine, September 20
st. Sauveur's Episcopal church was

New YORK, N. Y, September 29.--
A London dispatch says: A report has
obtained wide currency that the Prin-
cess Victoria Of Wales, the only uu-
married daughter Of the Prince and
Princess OF Wales, is about to enter a
convent. 1t is at least certain that the
Princess Victoria has, since the mar
riage OF her sister Maud, been subject
to frequent fits Of depression, and it is
recalled that not many years ago she
was in favor with the eldest son of an
Euglishman Of eninence and distinc-
tion, who was not unacceptable to her
royal parents. The venerable SOW
ereign, however, through the medium
of high appointment, practically ba :
ished the man across the seas, and this
is held to DO the reason that the princess
alone OF her brothers and, sisters is un-
married, although approaching her
thlrtieth birthday.

GUARD AGAINST LyNcnINa.
Large Force Of Deputies and Militia Called Out
In Louisiana.

ANTE CRY. Tangipahoa parish, La.
September 29.--The Jail and court
house here, where Arch Joiner, one Of
the two colored men accused of mur-
dering four members Of the Cotton
(white) family, in this parish, are con-
fined, is guarded this morning by
posse of 100 armed men, sworn in by
the sheriff, and by company of the
Hammond light guards of the state
militia, sent by the state authorities. 1t
is hoped these precautions are sufficient
to prevent violence, though large
crowds of lynchers are reported to be
gathering at Independence, a few miles
distant, near which point the crime
was committed. The other negro ar
rested for the crime is in the parish
prison Of New Orleans. All business
is suspended here awaiting develop
ments.

Orr. Mr.. Parker rather surprised those
in the court room by stating that II

made to have the rates changed. After

clerks, modest young man, step
ped up to wait on her. The young

Compromising Criminal Cases.

Iberville South.
Compromising criminal cases is
all evil with which Iberville is not
alone afflicted. From recent arti-
cles in the st. Mary Banner and
Shreveport Judge it is evident
that the bad practice is under way
in the parishes of st. Mary and
Caddo. On the subject the Ban
ner says:
"This habit has led the negroes
to believe that any one of them
with a few dollars in his pocket
can commit almost any crime short
of capital offense, and go COM
pletely unwhipped of justice by
offering a few dollars to the JUS
tice to compromise his case. AS a
rule this is done, the offender goes
free and is ready and anxious,
when he again becomes 'Aush,' to
commit another offense."
The Judge says that this abuse
of the law is general among the
justices of the peace of the State
and suggests that if the custom
was broken up there would be a
greater respect for the law, all of
which is very true, but the ''com-
promise" business like peace bond
cases, is lucrative and as long as
the ward judges are not hauled
over the Goals in higher courts,
just so long will this evil flourish,

SenatOr=Elect on LOuisi-

Daily Item.

/
ry is a Democrat and from his
policies generally The Item most
emphatically dissents. Upon his
selection to the Senate, as the
compromise candidate, we stated
that he was a partisan of such
pronounced and extreme charac-
ter that the caucus dictates of his
party and not the interests of his
people would determine his legis-
lative conduct in all matters. In
this The Item is agreeably mista-
ken.
So far as Judge McEnery's per-
sonal character is concerned we
regard it as pure and unsullied as
any mans. When the interests of
his party were not at issue his ad-
ministrations of the Chief Execu-
tives Office of the State has been,
in his two terms, eminently salts
factory. But his sins of omission
and commission in purely politi-
cal matters are rank. Neverthe-
less, his expressions in a morning
contemporary regarding his future
conduct as a Senator upon those
vital issues concerning Louisiana,
are eminently satisfactory. Nay,
they fully accord upon lines of
tariff with Republican principles,
, for he states without equivocation
5 that he will look after the States
interests with care, and what he
: asks for Louisiana he is perfectly
to give to other States. Not only
! is he a pronounced protectionist,
j, but he favored the bounty clause of
r the Mckinley bill, and remarks:
II have had no occasion to alter
my opinions, and in fact they are
strengthened because we have had
= in Louisiana an object lesson Of
the benefits of two-cent bounty,
and we have seen how the indus
try Jagged when it was taken
away"
The most remarkable statement
in the interview The Item is con.
sidering is that wherein he says:
I will throw no obstacle in the
way of the Republicans in tariff
legislation in the next Senate. l
will not oppose anything that will
help any part of the country fol
the reason alone that it is party
measure. 1 will support mea
sure proposed by any party if il
will help this country, 1 realize
and many others now do, that in
stead of running along with a de
ficit in the revenues, we should al
ways have surplus. There SHOULD
always be contingent fund, ant
the great government of the Uni
ted, with it's wealth and progress
should never be confronted with
deficit in its public revenues, ant
should never offer an excuse o
inability to pay promptly all obi
cations. If a high tariff will Civ
the required, or more than the re
: quired, amount of revenue, l will
l, favor a bill of that kind.
There is sound judgment ant
sound practical craftsmanship
which every patriotic citizen il
Louisiana will endorse, and whe1
he goes beyond this and state
that United States Senate
Z. should be for or against propc
sition, not because it might be
- party measure, but on the hig
