Moreton Frewen. . British author
ity on silver. who has made American
Investments, predicts that silver
would advance to $l.29 per ounce
in this country and in the markets
OF the world IL free coinage were
adopted. He answers the goldites
thus:
IL personally agree with Mr..
Bryan that II the United States
should open her mints at / to l6 she
can raise the exchange value OF sill
yer oil the world over to her rating.
| hold this opinion, not upon any
mere grounds Of theory, but upon
what we actually saw during the
month Of June in 1898. We saw the
mints OF India closed and we saw as
the effect OF that closure price OF sill
yer fall more than % per cent in five
days. II the closing OF the
Indian mints single-hsnded has
such Colossal effect as that
upon the price Of silver bullion, how
great would be the effect experience.
ed il the United States. with her
enormous exporting power. were to
open her minis to free coinage? 1t
seems to me almost q rule of three
sum that with the mints open in the
United States silver would 60 to l2e
cents an ounce and remain there. I
agree In holding this view with
President Andrews, OF Brown uni.
versity, and with q number of au.
thorities on this side of the water,
including H. II. Gibbs and MIR. Gren.
fell, both ex-governors OF the Bank
OF England, who stated this view ex.
plicitly in the evidence they gave be-
fore the royal commission on cur.
rency in 1887"

Board Of Education Makes Room for the
Little Omes.
Arrangements have been made bv
the board OF education 40 that chill
dren in the primary department can
attend school whole day-instead
of half. as has been the custom in
former years.
The plan will require the assist.
ance of two additional teachers. how.
ever. Even so the expense is
not so great. The board has
decided on an eight year gram
mar course. Heretofore nine
years composed the course be.
low the High school. 1t is thought
that the work can be accomplished
just as easily in eight years, and
thereby contribute year to the
Students future In former years
there was considerable lump
ing" Of grad. s. But this will moi
be done with such frequency here
after. it is believed. as the work will
be so divided that it viii keep the
scholar at work during the term to
pass the grade successfully.
With this end in viex the board
has decided on whole day for the
little ones.

THE following observation from

cratic paper. is illustrative Of the
fact that in the democratic party
the public nuisance OF anarchistic
tendencies is not upheld necessarily
because he happens to affiliate with
the party: "Pitchfork Tillman is
getting taste Of rough house in his
own state. The man he wanted al
his coadjutor in the senate wat
turned down in the party primsries

know that these things l have
enumerated have been stolen be-
cause Mr.. Carlisle, in his reports,
informs me that more gold has
gone out of this country since its
formation than has come IN. And
he says that nothing but gold is

left for them to have got them
only by stealing.

people of this stealing and beg
ging OF them to join national pat
riotic party and fight with their

to be turned upon by American

Their Only Hope.

A leading Democrat from Gov
ernor Fosters parish said yester-
day that st. Mary would be car
ried for the administration. "We
PROPOSE" he said, ''tO fight the
devil with fire."
He was asked what he meant
literally. His reply was: "Why,
we'll divide the negro vote. and if
that is no good to beat 'em we will
count 'em out. DAILY Picayune.
The above sentiment appeared
in the columns devoted to the dis
cusslon of the success of the Pop
ulist ticket when supported by all
opposition to Foster.
From this we learn that the Eos
ter ticket is in the minority already
also that the only hope of sait
Foster ticket winning in this fgh1
is to "divide the negro vote" OF
"cOunt 'em out"
In the face of this frank admis
sion, our Enterprise should be abl'
to explain why it is SO infamou
for Republicans and negroes t.
vote the Populist ticket.
The Enterprise is hypocrite o
the first magnitude.
