MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 21 1896

THE LATE [. 5. Senator kenna'
when member of the House of Rep
sentatives.on June 4, ISIS made speech
in that body, in which, alluding to the
act suspeuding the coinage OF silver he
said:
1.-The country has been made aware
IF the manner in which this ne
farious measure was struggled and
bulldozed through without even BENG
read. Its contents were not hno"p, the
yeas and nays were not called on lis
massage, and hence the vote Of members
is not entered on the journal. Inc
Record does show, however, that MT.
Hooper. a republican, moved to sus'
pend the rules and pass the bill. he
had it in charge. He knew its con-
tents. He knew it struck silver down
and DESTROYED the double standard Of
our fathers. The Record therefore
shows that republican had charge OF
the bill, and, By motion to suspend the
rules. cut of debate aud forced 1t to a
vote. But the Record shows more III
shows that this giant swindle had been
submitted 10 the republican secretary
of the treasury, the republican dlrec.
tor and controller of finances, and was
by him approved. Thus, Mr.. Speaker
this monstrosity, this uumitiSated vii
lainv which struck down silver when II
was higher in the market than gold,
simply to make money scarce" and
Increase the burdens of the country,
was manipulated and carried through
by republican member OF the House
under the full sanction and support OF
the republican secretary Of the treas
urv. Passed as the bill was, under sus-
pension OF the rules, without debate,
and not even read, there is no evidence
on earth that any living man knew 1t
demonetized silver except the secre-
tary and member have named.

ONE REASON, the republicans say,
why Mr.. Mckinley should be elected, is
that higher tariff than the present
forty-.wo per cent. one, would then be
adopted, and that, consequently, the Ia
borers' wages would be increased. But,
though the Mckinley tariff bill was in
operation in 1892 and 1898, the loss in
lahorers' wages in this country during
those two years amounted TO no less
than 1884 Sill

CONGRESS, NOT the President, has
the power to enact free silver bill.
Therefore the man who votes for can
di late for Congress who is in favor of
the resumption of 81 v-r coinage, but
votes against the democratic candidate
for President or the ground that be
is in favor of free silver, is
wrong in the upper strata of the gray

AN ARTICLE in Saturdays GAZETTE,
signed "a Gentleman" taken from the
New York Journal, is an exact reflex Of
the opinion of the plutocrats, who real
IL believe that the acquisition OF
wealth, no matter by what means, is
the only real evidence of knowledge,
and that its few possessors, therefore,
should dictate the policy and exercise
the function Of government according
to their own ideas. There is no doubt
that intelligence should rule, but the
history of the world, and the personal
experience OF every man, teach that the
inheritance or the accumulation OF
riches is by no means evidence Of eth
or Inherited or acquired wisdom. But,
even were it otherwise, this is free and
equal country, in which every man
under the law, is the equal of any 9TH
er mau. and in which there is no re-
striction upon suffrage, so that no mat
ter how poor, ignorant or wicked man
may be, provided he was born here, he
can be President if a majority OF the
people vote for him. ga Gentleman's'
ideas, therefore, as expressed in the
article referred to, appropriate as they
might be to the government of Russia,
are in i'll accord with that of these
United States, and prove that the man
who entertains them, though able to
count his government bonds by the
million, is the veriest pauper in re-
spect of common sense, and the Jour
nal, free silver newspaper, has con-
tributed no little to the cause it is sd-
vocating by publishing his letter.

Ike post fnortem examination
of one of the flock of ostriches
owned by Batnum 4 Bailey. which
has been on exhibition at the Gen.
trail Park mensgerie, New York
City, gave the spectators q woh-
derful object lesson of the diges-
tive capabilities of an ostrich.
The ostrich was dissected by a
taxidermist. He found the follow
ing articles in the birds stomach:
One wooden clothes pin; the bot
toms Of two beer bottles; a mouth
hartnonica, five inches long and
two inches wide; ferrule Of an
umbrella with q piece Of the stick
in it about four inches long, q me-
tai skate key; q brass door key,
five inches long; q womsn's black
horn comb; two pieces of coal, a
woman's silk hsndketchief; three
stones about an inch thick, toge-
Their with some cabbage, grass,
lettuce, celery and considerable
dirt. Strange to say, the ostrich
did not die Of indigestion, bat
from Tuberculosis. The bird will
be mounted in the museum and it
would be interesting to preserve
alongside the collection of objects
which was found in it's stomach.

What the X Rays Can Do.

entirely such wonders as photo
graphing invisible planets and re-
searches into the ultraviolet re-
gions of the solar spectrum, the
new process may claim the unique
position of delineator of the invis-
ible in general. Such experiments
as photographing the metal shafts
of knife handles, through the
wood or bone, or coins concealed
in closed wallets are now elemen-
tary. We see very acute pictures
of bullets lodged between the
bones of the lower leg. or of the
bonv structure of living hands.
or even the whole skeletons of
small animals, taken through the
flesh. It is not to be wondered at
that the majority of Investigators
are hard at work developing the
capabilities of the new art in sur
gerry and medicine. From metal
lurgists We do not hear a great
deal, and it must be admitted that
We have yet much to look forward
to from them. For, unfortunately
the common metals, iron and steel
1.-THE latter particularly, are very
impervious to the new actinism,
while less useful ones, like silver.
brass and aluminium, are much
more transparent; we can now &c
tually use such apparent contra
dictions in terms. Glass, the
type of transparent substances, re-
sists the new rays like SO much
wood. A Photographic platehold-
or, with glass doors would DO
curiosity, and yct not wholly USE
less for the new process. The
homogeneous structure of such
metals as are penetrable by the X
rays, as they are called, is we'll de-
tailed. All the ornaments aud
lettering, as well as. concealed
flaws, cracks, ETC., in the coins
hitherto experimental upon, have
been quite distintly rendered.
Eminent authorities in gunnery
have expressed their belief in the
powers of the new art to reveal
hidden defects in expensive gun
forging. A process so sensitive
to variations in molecular struc-
ture might be expected to render
a differentiation between wrought
iron, and cast-iron and cast steel;
but as yet we have only very mea-
gre data in this connection. With
more powerful sources of actinism,
and with Photographic chemicals
and plates prepared for this ex-
press purpose. We may yet be able
to realize such triumphs Of useful

SATURDAY. APRIL 4, 1896.
HARD TO BELIEVE.

We find the following in the
columns of the Valley of the
Teche, of last Saturday;
Dear Readers:
l do not want to enter any pole
mical discussion with the oppos-
ing faction of Mr.. Domengeaux
and others, but would like to see
Justice impartially given to who
deserves it; in a meeting at Mr..
Julien Trahan, where our honOra-
bic future Treasurer of State Mr..
A. V. Fournet was the orator of
the day and who in a most crimi-
nal aud shameful way tried to
blacken man who is as pure as
the purest and staunch and un-
Ainching democrat, the past is
there to prove his record and l
fearlessly advance, that should we
be permitted to look over the
pages of both the accused and ac-
cusee the contrasting difference
would be so great, that one would
feel ashamed to see a man aspir-
ing to so high functions trying to
persuade peoples to become
thieves and rogues.
The story runs this way: In
this famous and immortal speech
Mr.. A. V. Foutnet, advised people
to go and buy all they could haul
with wagons, carts, wheel borrows,
from Mr.. Domengeaux, and not
pay him a cent for he was nothing
but a republican, his only proofs,
are l suppose, because Mr.. Do
inengeaux, did not submit his
name before their primaries.
There have been so many of those
primaries that Mr.. Domengeaux
did not know ut which he was to
submit his name.
Our candidate for S. T. ought
to have added; bring along crow
BARS and sledge hammers in case
that the store be closed, it would
be more complete. Now if Mr..
Fournet thinks he made any i'm
preston upon the voters he is
mistaken the people have been too
often deceived of such mendacity.
If Mr.. Fournet wish the white
voters of this parish to support
him in his race for high honor,
he should use more decent lam
gusge. The people are tired of
such nonsensical tricks and I
would advise Nh. Fourhet to de-
sist as he is injuring his faction.
Hoping dear readers to be ex-
cused for any non-rethotical flou-
fishing.
l femain yours truly,
