NO IMPROPER MOTIVES.

The Tidings seems to think it
strange that the condition of affairs
at the county hospital has been VENT
lated in the INDEPENDENT, and rather
accuses it Of improper motives IN
what it is pleased to call "its peri
odical announcements of the steward
of the county hospital"
The first instance in which the pres
ent steward was criticised in this pa
per was in 1894 when the inmates of
the hospital were being fed on rotten
corned beef. These charges were in
writing, signed by all but one or two
of the patients in the hospital at that
time. We then had undisputed evil
dence that the charges were true and
none has been submitted since to
prove to the contrary.
The last charges are thoroughly
understood by the people and the IN
DEPENDENT is perfectly willing to
abide by their verdict. The conclu-
sion reached by the Commissioners
and the reprimand of the steward
stand us solid rocks in the paths Of
those who would try to make the
steward appear as the incarnation of
sobriety. On the record of the Com
missioners the INDEPENDENT rests it's
case and will not refer to it again I'M
less The defenders of Mr.. Armstrong
continue to stir up the dirty waters.
If they have any regard for him, they
will hold their peace.
There has been no hidden motive
IN the course OF this paper toward the
present steward. Had it not thrown
light on hospital affairs it would
have been recreant in it's duty as a
public journal. 1t has nothing to
take back andno amount OF abuse
or misrepresentation will cause
the INDEPENDENT to change it's course
III county affairs. So. If public officers
do not want TO incur criticism, they
can avoid il by doing their duty and
keeping sober. II they take the ether
course, the responsibility rests with
them and not with the editor OF this
paper. The choice is with them.

HiUSi &c "a Silver Man.

IL the next Democratic national
convention should nominate gold
standard man on platform to suit

and platform would probably suit the

Democrats can hope to carry next
year under the most favorable cir
cumstances. The Western and South
enn States, upon which the Demo.

the Republican column making the

shall be recognlzed-that church and

shall be recognized-that church and
state shall be and remain divorced"
Mr. Gray, democrat, of Delaware, ex-
pressed his surprise at hearing the SOL
emn warning and invocation of the sem
ator from Nebraska Ito fight us from
our propriety" in dealing simple justice
to class of self-devoted Christian Amer
fcan citizens. He sent to the clerks desk
and had read extracts from recent adj
dress of Archbishop Ireland, declaring
that there is no room in the United
States for conflict between church and
state, and he said that those ideas
would do credit to the ministers of any
denomination.
"Protestanism" he declared. "is not
bigotry, and Christianity is not fanati-
cism. They are both consistent with a
broad commonsense and true American
spirit. Education by Baptist preacher,
a protestant minister or Catholic
priest is better than no education at ALL
The foundations of freedom In this coun-
try were not laid in any way to forbid
the mere touch of Christian minister
as il it were polluted. Christian minis
ters have performed a great part in the
past history of the century. They
have performed a great part in the
education of the American youth. They
have never taught any lesson that was
wanting in patriotism, and l am not will
ing that the law shall treat with insult
and contumely portion of the communi-
ty which has devoted itself to teacning
the gospel of Christ, whether in Catho-
lie church or in a Methodist, Baptist or
protestant church."
Mr.. Thurston said that he was at a,
loss to understand how anything he had
said had aroused the senator from Della
ware to such pitch of defense for one
particular religious denomination. He
declared that he had said no word and
made no suggestion that could be traced
as pointing to any denomination. The
senator from Delaware could go no fur
ther than he (Mr. Thurston) in reverent
admiration for the barefoot priest with
the cross of Christ on his breast, who
had made pathways through the wilder
ness and spread for creatures the Chris
tian doctrine of the lowly Nazarene.
Mr.. Teller, republican, of Colorado,
sketched the history of the contract
schools, remarking that the Catholic
church. by it's methods was better cal
culated than other denominations to OBJ
tain and keep control of wild people.
The Catholic schools seemed to be the
most successful Indian schools In the
United States. He favored, however, the
house provisions for the immediate aboli-
ton of all Indian contract schools.

not the end of the contention. There Is
unrest even beyond our borders. 1t is
caused by what makes serious men doubt
and hesitate. Let the question be settled

ton will be removed from the democratic
ranks.
Referring to the recent contest, the
speaker said some have followed the
leadership of the red-headed rooster
from Birmingham (eheers) and others
have followed the blue-eyed boy from
Mobile. (Cheers.) l for one would feel
honored in following either, but the ma

sion Mr.. Bankhead said: The delibera-
tions of this body, so far as am able to
conduct 1t, must be conducted in an or
derly and decorous manner, and to that
end l beg your aid and encouragement.
The committee on platform and resolu-
tions was appointed as follows: Edmund

1t was very plain from the way in
which the convention received and heard
the r5ading of the resolutions concerning
the money plank to. be referred to the
committee on resolutions that nothing
short of going the utmost length for free
coinage at 16 to 1 would be tolerated.
Every mention of the numerical slogan of
the white metal votaries was greeted with
insistent and rousing yells of approval.
Resolutions commencing the financial
policy of the administration fell fiat. 1t
was plainly notable that it was not that
kind of convention But the goldbug boys

Results.

The locals again met defeat yesterday,
the score at the end of the game being
II to in favor of Montgomery.
Sparks was put in the box for the To-
Gals and Leighton went to second. Both
played excellent ball and it was through
no fault of theirs the game was lost.
Sparks struck out two gave three bases
on balls and with three times at bat
made one hit and score. Leighton got
hit out of four times at bat three put4
outs, four assists and only one error.
In the fifth inning Birmingham scored
Sparks. Leighton, on a wild throw into
the bleachers in an attempt to cut him
or at second, went to third, Sparks going
to second The ball was tossed into the
grounds andNrecovered by Kehoe, who
threw to Peoples, cutting Leighton off
at third. The umpire called him out,
though an agreement had been made be-
tween the two managers the day before
that base should be allowed on such
events. The umpire was firm and no
tice of protest was served by the local
manager on Manager German of the
Montgomerys.
King" Bailey was In the box for the
visitors and did good work, though eleven
hits were made off him, against fourteen
off Sparks.
Mangan got in clear home run and
German made three-bagger, which
would have been clean swipe" If he
had run little faster.
Following is the tale of the DAVIS work.

permanent organization reported the
name of John r. Thayer of Worcester as
permanent presiding officer and Henry
v. Cunningham as permanent secretary.
President Thayer addressed the con-
vention. Allusions of the speaker to the
financial question aroused little response,
but his denunciation of American Protec-

President Cleveland were received with
warm, and at times enthusiastic, ap-

Montgomery, April 21.-The democratic
state convention met promptly at s
o'clock tonight.
The credentials committee reported the
list of delegates as prepared by the state
committee, except the Clarke delegates
from Pike county were excluded and the
Johnston delegates given the seats. The
report was adopted
Committee on permanent organization
reported Congressman Bankhead for
president. He was escorted to the chair
and made a strong declaration In favor
of unequivocal expression of opinion on
the currency question, and said that the
battle had been fought and won and the
convention should register the will of the
people. He is an earnest advocate of free
silver coinage at 16 to / regardless of the
action of any other country.
The order of business requires the adop-
tion of a platform before any nominations
are made. The committee on platform is
largely for free silver. All resolutions are
referred to 1t and a large number were
introduced, read and sent to the commit
tee. 1t will not be ready to report until
morning.
The convention adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow.
A subcommittee on platform has been
appointed, on which are three silver and
two sound money men. One of the latter
was supporter of Johnston and the
other of Clarke.
There are about $50 men in the conven-
ton who supported Clarke, sound money
candidate for governor, and $50 who sup
ported Johnston, free silverite. OF the
Johnston supporters there are quite a
number who are sound money men. One
Johnston delegation is reported solidly
for sound money and many others are
divided. If these vote as they declare
themselves on the sound money issue she
platform will be vigorously fought over. E

New Orleans, April 21.AThe Citizens
league elect their candidate for mayor
by upwards of 10000 majority over Con-

elect their entire city and aldermanic
ticket. The negro vote went almost sol
idly for the Citizens league. The combi-
nation of Citizen leaguers and republi-
cans was engineered to success by the
political skill of Ex-Gov H. c. Warmoth
and to him the league is largely Indebted.
The vote for Governor Foster and
Pharr republican candidate for govern
or, is close. but Foster will probably have
1000 majority. The democrats will carry
the state by good majority and control
the legislature. The returns are coming
in slowly, as many of the parishes have
no telegraphic communication. No trou-

point, even st. Landry having peace
