Resolved, That we reaffirm our allie
glance to the time-honored principles of
the Democratic party, believing that they
constitute the best rule Of action for an
enlightened people under a 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; it's public i%nstitu-
t~ionsenlarged and improved aid run upon
a cash basis; its constantly growing and
improved public school system; a com
plete levee system; its expenses kept be-
dow it's revenues, and its obligations
i promptly paid in cash and universal con-
fdence 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
rial reduction; the Improvement of the
public roads. its public buildings and
bridges. and annual increasing apprOpria-
lions for public schools, all within and be-
low the regular rate of parochial taxa
tlOn; that tie maintenance and perpetual
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 recommendation; 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 reafirm
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
that may be taken for its en-
forcement.

ABOUT THE NOON.

Several Of the State papers D
December last called attention Il
The fact that there were two full
moons that month and went on tc
say such a thing had not occurred
since the birth of Christ. The
trusting one paid heed and fond
lovers no longer monopolized the
"ineonstant moo that monthly
changes in her circling orb" Old
men g9zed upward with reverent
eyes, thinking they were now seeing
what human eyes had not looked
upon since the birth of their dear
Lord; doting maDmas had their off
spring out gazing heavenward and
taking cold, and neighbors would
call each other to the back fence aud
tell Of the wonder. It is not always
pleasant to dispel illusions but ico-
nocalasm is a striking feature Of
this nineteenth century and we feel
that the too credn!ous should be IN
formed that this is not the first nor
the second time since the birth of
Christ that there has been two foil
moons. When the newspapers made
the startling announcement they did
not count npon the 'oIdest inhabi-
tant," there is always one on hand
Baton Rouge has one ana he has
preserved some old almanaes The
extraordinary feature, il there is any,
must consist in the fact that the
moon falled twice in the same
month, as the moor making five IN,
stead OF four changes is Of too re-
cent &C currrence to excite comment.
The aamanacs of 1887, 1913, '92, '93
and 9f give five phases of the moon
aud in the a lmanack de Ia Louis
.aae" there are months il the years
1915, '39, 40, so, SO and 55 where
the moor changes five times. The
'Almanach de la Louisiana" Of 1928
gives two full moons in the same
month, one in January and one in
lie Petit Almanach DIES
Princes" Fhogs two fail moons in
July in 1916; L'alnranach de lie
ievre c%aicule pour La Nouvelle Or
cans has two full moons in Octeb-
II, lS49, aud lie Miroir" two full
moons for 1924. The papers limited
