The Times-Democrat says thst
'the public has read great deal
abut the Populists and what they ex-
pect to do in the next election, but
it may not be uninteresting to recall
what the actual strength Of that
party was in the congressional
election of 1894, what they claimed
in that election and did not get, and
the additional parishes they count on
carrying in the April election. In
the election referred to, the Populists
carried fourteen parishes, as fol-
lows: Bienville, Catahoula, Clai.
borne, Franklin, Grant, Jackson,
Lincoln, Livingston, Natchitoches,
Sabine, Union, Vernon, West Car
roll and VIM. They claim to have
carried, but to have been partly
counted out, in six parishes: De
Soto, Morehouse, ked River, Rich
land, Washington and Webster.
They claim to be able to carry the
following additional parishes in
April: Avoyelles, Acadia, Cal
casie, Cameron, Ouachita, Rapides,
St. Helena, st. Landry, East Baton
Rouge and Tagipahoa. If these con-
tentions of the Populists are well
founded, they would have fighting
chance in thirty of the fifty nine
parishes of the State, but in num-
Der of the latter parishes their claims
will not be all conceded by the Dem
ocrats."

The New Orleans Picayune says
that the burning to death of de-
fenseless woman, who was about te
become a mother, by an armed moi
of fifty men, near Lebanon, KY, was
one of the most brutal and cowardly
crimes that ever blackened the fail
fame of civilized community. The
woman's sin was unfaithfulness te

thoroughly expose the folly of such
statement, and establishes the fact
that the populite party is the most
dangerous and insidious foe OF
white supremacy that at present ex-
lists in this State. Heretofore the
republican party, while it has been
menace to the perpetuity Of white
supremacy and good government in
this State, has at the same time been
an open and avowed enemy, and the
Authorization of the State was Its
cardinal doctrine. The new enemy
that has arisen, the populite party,
while proclaiming abroad its desire
for white supremacy is secretly
negotiating combines with the negro
leaders and formulating plans the
success of which would inevitably
foist Demas, Cage and Pinchback
into control of our political affairs.
The conclusion is therefore irresisti-

list party under such conditions is
the viIest and most menacing to the
welfare of Louisiana.

A Pleasant Reunion.

At the Shreveport Convention there
were some 200 delegates who had been
students of the Louisiana State Uni
versity at Alexandria and at Baton
Rouge. OF these three were lberlans
Mr.. L. S Frere. DR.. Clarence Pier
son and Prof. Ferguson. These stud
ents proposed reunion amongst them
selves and assembled for that purpose
in the court house in Shreveport.
Iberia was honored with the presidency
of that meeting, Prof. Ferguson having
been called upon to preside. After a
talk or two on old times, it was pro-
posed to send greeting to Col. d. +.
Boyd, under whose presidency most Of
those present had graduated. Col.
Boyd is now connected with the Michi-
gan Military Academy. The greeting
was token of love and remembrance
and was the outcome of an assertion
which Col. Boyd was wont to make to
the effect that he expected to live to
see the State ruled principally by
Varsity" boys. How this is being
realized, is apparent in the fact that
they were 200 strong at Shreveport. -

A BELATED INDUSTRY.

Under this title Miss Jane Adams
writes In the American journal Of So
GEOLOGY upon the subject of domestic
service. She classes it as one Of tbs
industries unaffected by the industrial
revolution Of the eighteenth century,
when the household system was SUPER
seded by the factory system. The only
solution which she sees for the prob
lem of domestic service consists in re-
organizing it upon the factory system,
and the only reason apparent to her
for the long delay in such organization
consists in the natural unprogressive-
ness of women. whose special depart
ment Of the worlds work this is
The student of life is justified in ask
ing whether the facts Of woman's prog
ress in general justify this sweeping
conclusion. The world at large comedies
that, in NEST respects, women have
made, in the last century, an advance
which might we'll have been spread
over two or three. This being the case.
the unhesitating eattribution of the
unsatisfactory condition of the do
mestic service preblem to the unpro-
gressive nature of woman may posi-
bly, be an error. 1t is, at least, con-
ceivable that the ideals Of domestic
life, which tend to make domestic
service what it is, are as much mascu-
line as feminine, and there Is nothing
to prevent the scientific imagina ton
from seeing in the servant question a
phase of the everlasting struggle be-
tween the individual and the family
as to which is the most important to
society.
This struggle has never ternni-
mated save inaone way; it is not possi-
BILE that, for many generations
yet to come In the evolu-
tion Of the race it will ter
inmate otherwise. AT present the fam
lily Is the social unit, to which the in
dlvidual is Of necessity sacrificed In
more ways than one. That domestic
service Is not an industry under the
factory system today is due to the be
lief that the family needs are better
met under the present regime This
belief may be; prejudice, and, If so,
1t will go the way of other preju-
dices in, the end; but its persistence in
dfeates a larger amount of vitality
than mere prejudices usually possess.
r. however, it is not prejudice, but
fact, then the waves of individualism

show you what the people of st. Paul

show you what the people of st. Paul
are ready to do.
This, Democrats of st. Paul, is the
situation. The time is ripe for good
government. Our business men and
our working men feel the need of a
business administration. They are
weary of political names that have no
political principles behind them. They
have scratched tickets before, and
found that no fire came down from
heaven to consume them. They ask
of you only ticket that they can
support and keep their self-respect
And If YOU do not give them that, If
you let this opportunity go by de-
fault. If you play faction against fac
tion in an interpecipe strife for a
worthless supremacy, you will not only
lose this election, but you will cut off
every hope of success until you have
reorganized your. party in the dust and
ashes OF repentance and humiliation.
The G b e is with you In this work.
and the G o b e cannot help YOU In
any other, 1t is the representative of
the Democratic party; not only in St
Paql,z but, also of the wider Demec-
racy whose success is, it believes vital
to the safety of our institutions and to
the salvation Of the republic. 1t asks
no more congenial task than to support
local ticket worthy of this great and
ancient name. 1t has no candidates of
its own to suggest. But it. like the
people of ST. Paul, is not to be bound
with rope of pretenses. No clique or
faction has right to call itself the
Democracy. and to demand the support
or a few heelers and incompetents as
proof Of fealty to the party. AS citi-
zens of st. Paul, We know what is at
stake for our city first of all. We
want good government; and we will not
accept bad If it should come to us with
the label of pseudo Democracy A
man who seeks high office must have
the qualities that command an honest
support, or he will ask for it in vain.
Get together, then, gentlemen of the
Democracy. Put an end to personal
Jealousies and to the factional fight for
power abhorrent to the public good.
Realize that there is success only in
standing for good government, and
that both defeat and dishonor attend
the triumph of any mans machine.
Let the Democrats of this city send to
their convention men who hold these
Views of their duty and their oppor-
tunity, and nothing can prevail against
us. Do less than this, and you will
decree your own destruction along with
that of your party. Gentlemen. are
you great enough and wise enough and
polite enough to stand the test?

fected the change in three years, and
In neither case was there any serious
trouble felt.
The committee recommend that the
federal government adopt the system,
except as to it's surveys of public land,
to go into effect in all the departments
on July 1, 1S9S and in the nation at
large on Jan. l, 1901. If congress act
on the recommendation there is ample
time and means for preparation. The
common schools Of the country can
give the new system something moro
than the perfunctory attention it has
received, and business houses can re-
quire their employees to famliiariz6
themselves with It, With such action
there would be no perceptible jar when
the date OF It's general use came.
There would remain the fossils who
cling to the old because it is old and
reject the new simply because it is
new. but the f1eeting years would
kindly and gently remove them, and

schools would find their tables of

them, but on the contrary. as simple
