The weekly papers of every
town in the State are expected by
business men and citizens gener-
ally to whoop up every enterprise
imaginable for the good of the
town. and week after week they
publish to the world the many
advantages in the way of public
schools, churches, fertile soils,
cheap goods, etc, each town has,
gratuitously. In fact, the weekly
press does moro for the upholding
of towns than all other enterprises
combined, yet there are some mer-
chants who never spend dollar
on advertising and kick because
they are called upon to pay a

MIR. Hickman Has His Say.
New Orleans, La, April Is, 1896.

Editor Coyar Chronicle:
In your paper of the 18th INST. you say
"Mr. Thomas j. Hickman gives the gra-
tuitous information to the N. o. States.
that the Democratic managers in Grant
parish knitted Governor Foster in the
election on last Tuesday, in the interest
Of the local ticket. -Four years ago Mr..
Hickman polled the magnificent total OF
Sc votes for McEnery in Grant parish.
while there were 311 votes cast for Fos-
ter" The Sc votes alluded to. were cast
by admirers Of that mobile old Roman y
Governor McEnery, who preferred going
down with him, than accept the infamous
decision of the Young returning board.
Since you have referred to the election of
1882, please give the vote of G. d. Kemp.
McEnery candidate for sheriff, and that
of your candidate for the same Office.
Permit me to call your attention to the
fact, that the only two Democrats elect
ed on the 21st inst, were staunch sup
porters Of Governor McEnery four years
ago, and were among those who stood by
him.
The official vote as published in your
paper, verifies my statement that the
State ticket was not looked after in the
1afo alacs;,,n
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1896-05-02

Did you not boast OF carrying the cleo
ton last fall, in the interest OF the Kan
sas City, Watkins and Gull Railway
Company? Then why did you not do as
much for the Democratic State ticket in
April 1896? II my opposition to bossism
i'm Grant parish for past four years, can
be construed into continuous fight
against Gov. Foster. then you are well
come to your opinion. The late election in
Grant, is stern but just rcbuke to the
bosses who have controlled the appoint
ments since 1892. Respectfully,
THos. j. Holman .
Mr.. Hickman's charge, il followed to
its legitimate conclusion, shows that he
judges others by bis own actions. The
following is the result in Grant in 1891,

1nero are Jos7I-s III hungary, ard snlal
towns, too, where from seven to ten idic.rs
are constantly being used. On tho Galican
frontier there is in a lovely valley the old
town of Eperjes. The number of its in
habitants does not exceed 2.090. To this
day the good people of Eperjes are in the
habit of talking or being talked to in six
different languages and several dialects.
An ordinary household will include a
Slovak manservant, Hungarian coach
man, q German cook and a Polish cham
bermaid. What is still more remarkable,
each layer of society will tcnnciously cling
to it's own language for centuries. A milo
or two from Eperjcs there are tho famous
salt mines of Saros The Low Frisians.
who We're called there as settlers by tho
Hungarian kings over 500 years ago, still
preserve their old Germanic dialect intact
to the present day. The same phenomenon
of polyglot communities may be found in

The Lord Chancellor,

The lord chancellor is the only member
of the British cabinet who Is notallowed
to go outside of Great Britain. This Is
because he must have the great seal in.his
personal custody, and to take the grent
seal outside of Great Britain would almost
be an act of high treason. When Cardinal
Wolsey was lord chancellor, he took itsyith
him on visit to France and thereby has
tened his fall, in the opinion OF many.
The great seal, which is q double silver
die, into which molten wax is poured when
an impression is required for q etate docu-
ment, was once used for culinary pur-
poses. While Lord Chancellor Brougham
was staying, in 1888, at Rothiemurchus,
the Scottish residence Of the then dowager
Duchess of Bedford, the ladies of the party
got possession Of the great seal and hid 1t,
much to the lord keeper s distress Of mind,
for he feared it was lost. He was blind
folded by the ladies and sent to search for
it in the drawing room. At last. to his
intense joy, he dragged it forth from a tea
chest, and then, to celebrate its recovery,
used it for making pancakes in the kitchen.

A POLYGLOT COUNTRY.
Two Towns Where From Seven to Ten Id
ioIas Are spoken.

Hungary is the basin of the Danube and
its tributaries, bounded in a semicircle by
the Carpathian mountains, No other
country of equal extent possesses the same
physical unity. With very few exceptions
all rivers of Hungary flow, directly or in
directly into the Danube, and in prehis-
toric times Hungary was, indeed, an inn
mensc lake, which, by crumbling masses
from the Carrathians, hiss in the course Of
untold centuries beon leveled.p to n vast
plain. This physical self contentedncss of
the country designated it, as it were, for a
proud and self contented nation. Legion
was the number Of tribes and people pour
ing into Hungary through the passes of
the north or the plains of the south from
the time of Alexander of Alacedon to that
of Alfred of England. Gepidcs and Goths,
Herules and Alans, Huns and Moravians,
Servians and Ruthenians and very many
more land seeking tribes essayed to court
the love of Hungeria.
The Magyars alone, Finnish Ugrian
tribe, probably from central ASIA enter
ing Hungary by the pass Of Vereczke, in
the northeast Carpathians, 1000 years
ago, have been able to wed themselves in
good and lasting marriage to the country
aboundiDG in the treasures of a fertile soil,
varied surface and IL benign climate.
They alone founded true nationality and
genuine state. The peoples inhabiting
Hungary before the arrival of the Magyars
were not SO much conquered as rclegated
by them. They were and always remain
ed what the stately law term Of the Hun
garian tripartitum (codo of law) called
thcm-rcgnicoloc dwellers, not citizens
proper. AS physically, so nationally,
Hungary has always been a unit, not n
union. Not every aggregate OF people
speaking the same language is a nation.

photographic point of view, Hungary Of

A JOCULAR MONARCH.
Ivan the Terrible Had Some Cold Blooded
Notions About Jesting.


Ivan the Terrible forgot neither his de-
votions nor his diversions. His palace al
ternately resounded with praying and ca
rousing. For his pastime bears were
brought from Novgorod. When from his
window he perceived a group of citizens
collected, he let slip two or three of these
ferocious animals, and his delight on be.
holding the flightof the terrified creatures,
and especially on hearing the cries Of tho
victims, was unbounded. His bursts of
laughter were loud and long continued.
To console those who were MANNED for life
he would sometimes send each of them,a
small piece of gold.
Another of his chief amusements was in
the company of testers, whose duty it was
to divert him, especially before and after
any executions, but they often paid dearly
for an unreasonable Joke.
Among these mono was moro distin.
