Louisiana.

This state has just passed through
AN election crisis in which all that
Circassian can possibly hold dear was
at stake, and in jminent peril. The
disgruntled sugar planters, republic
cans-the great mass of whom are ne.
groes, and populists all combined to de-
feat the democ racy. which stood for
anglo-saxon supremacy. 1t was
fierce fight for democracy. but she
trHumphed. Their defeat would have
refrigerated the state for a generation
or perhaps forever. She, still has all
her bad suffrage laws to contend with,
having committed the great error OF
sumitting revision by amendments to
the constitution, to the people where
the negro vote counted. We know
frsm experience and results in our own
State that the negro would drop his
white allies the moment he could do so,
like a hot potatoe. The white people
of Louisiana who seek his support are
not only harboring a delusion, but dai'
lying with great peril. The negro race
can never hold any place in politics in
this country 10 safety. There is an i'm
passable gulf between him and politi.

That the free agency and punishment

can comprehend because it brings out
by strong contrast the natural incllna-

The death of Lady Tennyson. vile OF the ia'e
r,eat poet-laureate, removes from our EARTH
life not only the wife of Lord Alfred iennysoh'
hut a noetess and musician of rare endoW'
ments.
Lady Tennyson's talents were not WHEY
recognized, as her life was one long siege % ~,
validism. and she was physically incapacitateo
for severe mental or physical effort.
But. although she wrote but few poems ner'
self. she was her husbands most severe critic'
and was of invaluable service to him IN reVis-
ing his poems.
Then, too. she was his INSPIRATION ms ~.

and flights of imagery are traceable to his alb

f,ike man of true taste and refined feeling
Tennyson wrote very little about his love for
her. That beautiful dedication beginning,
"Dear. near and true" is bit Of his writing
that is the most frequently associated with her
name.
The following lines from "The Miller's
Daughter were inspired by her:
look thro' mine eyes with thine. True wife.
Round my irue heart thine arms entwine;
NV other dearer life ia life,
Look tlIro' my very soul WITH thine!
Untouched with any sbade.of years,
Nav those kind eyes forever dwell!
They have not shed many tears,
Dear eyes since frst knew them we'll
"Cod bless thee dear-who wrought
Two spirits equal mind
wifh blessings beyond hopeor thought,
With blessing WHICH ne words can hnd.
Lady Tenuyson was an accomplished musi-
clan. and her greatest delight was to arrange
music TO her husbands poems. Her last musi-
cal work was almost simultaneous with his last
poem. a funeral hymn dictated on his death
bed. Her last tribute to him was to set this
hymn TO music and to have it sung at his
funeral at Westminster Abbey.
This HYMN is lofty aud dignifed and thrill
ingly tender and soulful-a perfect harmony oi
words and music symbolic OF their two lives.
Lady Tennyson was Ellen Sellwood. oil
Somersby, daughter of NJ Henry Sellwood
and niece of Sir John Franklin, and az a
young woman possessed rare beauty and at

Thomas Carlyle greatly admired her for her
beatty. but said, in his brusqne way: We're
il not that she is in such delicate health. good
might Re augured of Teanysons adventure"
Like other great men who have had invalid
wives, noticcably among them being Robsri
Browning and our own Wendell Phillips, Lord
Tennyson was only the mere closely drawn te
his wife through her suffering and his devo
tion and lavish tenderness doably endeared
him to her.
Their two sons. Lionel and Halam, shared
their fathers devotion, and the three viei
