DID HE LOVE BUT ONCE?

Orators Who Deliver Eulogies Should
Know All the Facts First.
There are women in this advanced age
of civilization who are ready to hinder
the efforts of reformers to abolish the
funeral pyre of the Hindoo.
A memorial meeting was held few
days ago in honor of man who had
been prominent in public work. His
former colleagues and intimate friends
filled the large platform. Among them
sat his widow, weeping silently under
her crepe veil. One after another the
. orators of the occasion laid tributes Of
eloquence at the altar of his memory.
One, more inspired and with longer
speech than the rest, followed the his
tory of his life from the time of his
birth, lin the troublous days when all
Europe was aghast at the sight of Ma
poleon striding over the ruins of empires
to universal throne
But the most important event Of his
life," he continued, happened at a
later date. 1t was at a fancy ball that
he met, as he afterward said, the first
and only love Of his life. He was there
disguised as highlander.
"What?" he whispered as some one
tugged at his coat, but getting no reply,
he went on-'And the lady Of his
choice was dressed here there was an
other tug-"was dressed as a Turkish
cigarette girl. After short courtship
they were married.
He then continued the eulogy of the
youthful bride Of the deceased in ex-
travagant terms. When he sat down
neighbor orator whispered, "You forgot
his widow"
"Oh, no, I didn't. I gave her good
send off.
"Good heavens!' exclaimed the 9TH
er. "This is his third wife !'-New

The rumOr is ahoat that leading
Democrats all over the State are
going to circulate petitions among
the county Democrats to send to
the legislature to get that body to
call a Constitutional Convention.
1t is said that this movement is
inaugurated to prove the faIsity of
the statement of some of the city
papers that it is the country Dem
ocrats who are opposing the calling
of an early convention with un
limited powers. We do not believe
that such action by the Democrats
in the country will have any effect
on the legislature, for the Foster
administration is now enstalled and
is very well satisfied with the situ-
ton. The outs may have the
cheek to get up petition but the
ms will have the gall to refuse to
pay any attention to it. No Aus
tralian ballot law will suit Foster
or his minions, they need the H.
literate negro in their business,
and would not take nickel-piated
jews-harp for him.

Years will not efface the griev.

the action of certain men in this
parish. Hatred deep and bitter

not gone to the extremes they did
to accomplish their objects in the
late election.

1t is said that politics makes

ment of Louisiana.

Doings at Baton Rouge.

Doings at Baton Rouge.
For the LOUISIANA POPULIST
Baton Rouge, La, May 20, '96.
Another week of the Legisla-
ture has come and gone, and but
little done.
The Senatorial question is alb
sorbing all the attention and in a
measure shaping the lines of all
future legislation, thus proving
one reason why the Peoples party
is correct in demanding the cleo
ton of U. S. Senators by d.
rect vote of the people.
A Senator. will in all probability
be elected by Wednesday of next
week, or before this reaches our
readers. 1t will be either Walter
D. Denegre, or the Administra-
ton candidate, Newton G., or An
drew Price. For if Foster finds
he cannot land Blanchard, he will
turn all his forces to Price, the
gold bug.
Foster has already opened his
arms to Denegre and offered to
make him Senator if he would on
ly join the Administration and be
its candidate and its supporter, but
Mr.. Denegre scorned the offer, and
refuses to 90 to the U. S. Senate
on any combine whatever.
This bold, Independent, manly
stand is rapidly winning friends
for Mr.. Denegre from the Popu-
lists, and it is quite probable that
they will withdraw Capt. Pharr's
name, which they have no hope of
landing, and support Denegre in a
body to defeat the Administration.
This course will strengthen them
materially in their stand for an
honest election law and an early
Constitutional Convention. What
ever course they take in this mat
ter, the Populists will be ably Sec
onded by the Republican members,
who have periodically pledged
themselves to stand by their Popu-
list allies ''till the last day in the |
morning."
The Democrats are continuing |
their bad management, and are
daily destroying the lettering old
hulk of the Democratic party. In
telligent leaders, not blinded by
q greed for spoils, could have made |
much political capital in favor of
the Democratic party out of the
questions confronting this General
Assembly at its opening, but the
leaders of that party do not seem
to understand the first principle of
craftsmanship.
Their followers at home who
have astouuded the world with
their patriotism and gullibility by
cIinging on to the oft broken pledg-
ss of faithless party, are to-day
doubtless toiling under their I'M
necessary burdens, made heavier
by the Democracy which they have
20 loyalty supported, while their
representatives here are wallowing
N idleness, or falling over each
,ther to do homage to any man
Who can give them spoils.
Under such management the
Democratic party is bound to die
# its own weight, and Populists
hould hasten this much-to-be de-
ired blessing on a sorely oIpress-
d people by standing firmly in the
'antage ground they have SO man.

stampeding, following the leaders, and
the herder was knocked down in their

mix up followed.
As the place where Nelson was is a
oarrow depression, through which the
sheep mad to pass, they began pressing
Iii upon him, stumbling over the falling
ones and pillug up until be was smoth-
cred to death under the increasing
weight. The sheep kept on stampe

237. ALEXANDRIA, VA. SATURDAY EVENING. OCT

BRUTAL OUTRAGE-George Splitter,
Samuel Deliinger and John II. Miller,
of the Orkney Springs section, were
lodged in Jail here on Friday night,
charged with breaking into the dwell
ing of Matthias Splitter on Wednesday
night, of last week, dragging an old
lady by the name of Dellinger down
the stairs by the hair, tearing the
clothes from her body and beating her
in most brutal manner. The men
were naked and had their faces black
ed. Later evidence states that two OF
these unutterable brutes held the old
woman while the third assaulted her.
We learn that these men still had their
faces BACKED when arrested. Shenan-
doah will soon stand at the bead of the
list for brutal and fendish crimes, and
permitting them to go comparatively
unpunished, and we sincerely hope,
f.r the sake of the little reputation We
have left, that this last may not prove
as bad as it now appears.-Shendn-
