HONOR TO DEMAS.

Paul, as temporary chairman, caileo
the meeting to order, and in a pleas
ant vein expressed his unboundeo oe-
light at the magnificent ovation the
people of the parish of Orleans hao
rendered Senator Demas.
Hon. c. G. Wilson, on assuming the
chair, made a brief speech welcome
to which ex-senator Demas respond
ed. Among other things he said:
DRMAs' SPEECH.
"To find fit words in which to thank
you for this magnificent demonstration
of your regards for me and your Joy, at
my success, is we'll nigh impossible.
Therefore, if fall short of your ex-
pectations, ascribe my halting utter,
ances to heart overful with pride and
Joy at your devotion rather thanto
lack of appreciation of your effort.
"The struggle which has been gong
on for more than five months has been
a bitter one. Such contest has no
parallel in the political history OF
Louisiana. Never before has such
bitterness in vituperation, such persist
ency IN calumny, such malignity IN
falsehoods, such grovelling in lnde-
cency, such audacity in attack been
shown in political fight in our state;
To strike us the opposition even dared
to lift its reptile head and hiss veno,,
mously at the nations Chlettaln and
his political household. Undeterred
by memories of the past, and undaunt-
ed by fears of the future they Staked
their all upon the hazard OF
die and lost Peace be with them.
The winner can always be magnani-
mous-the conqueror can always for
give. And so with malaCe toward
none and with charity toward all, we
can relegate them to fitting obscurity.
"All this is past. Though we have
met here tonight to rejoice over cur
victory, it is we'll that We consider the
| future. We must now Consecrate our
energies on the election that is to take
; place this winter The pledges that
were made by the republican party at
the national convention IN June, 1890,
have been redeemed to the last one.
Mckinley, our American Napoleon,
was nominated and he accepted these
pledges as the exponent of his own
ideas. He was elected and today he
stands as the nations head, with every
promise fulfilled. Already we see
prosperity springing up in every quar-.
ter of our country. We have practical
evidence of it here at home. No other
party has done as much as the repub-
lican party to bring about better times
to our people. The tariff bill as pass
ed by Congress affords Louisiana more
protection for her industries than she
has ever before enjoyed. The sugar
planters are benefited, noticed in the
Associated Press dispatches that Mr..
Leon Godchaux, the Louisiana sugar
king, has ordered an increase of wages
on his several plants tions, an unfailing
evidence of prosperity. The rice grow
ers are benefited, the cotton growers
are benefited, the wheat and corn
growers of the north and west are
benefited, the great iron manufacturers
and mine owners are benefited, the
mechanic and laborer are benefited,
in fact every industry in the United
States is helped by this bill"

BRUCE IN THE WEST.
HE MAKES A GREAT SPEECH.
Especial to the BEEF


Springfield, Ohio, Sept. ~, 1897.
Grand preparations were made for
the big meeting to-day and the coming
of Ex-senator Bruce, who arrived last
evening and was rendered a magnifi-
cent reception by the John Brown O..
A K. Post, where he made most elo-
quent and touching speech.
To-day he spoke TO an audience OF
fully $4,000, making one of the ableSt
arguments upon the tariff and finance
ever heard IN this city. He was at his
best, and for more than two hours held
his vast audience spellbound. He
spoke III glowing terms of the admin
istratiOn OF Major Mckinley, and pre-
dlCted tor 1t one of the most successful,
for II would bring prosperity and plenty
to the country. He urged the colored
voters TO present solid front for Gov.
Bushnell and that peerless leader, Sen
ator Hanna. Although there has been
much uneaSineSS and muttering of dis
content among the Colored voters out
IN these sections, it is believed by those
who heard Senator Bruce's powerful
appeal, that his speech will do more to
cement this vote than all the work
done by others in this direction.
If he can be Kept in the campaign
till the close, there would be no fear of
the final outcome.

MAsQUERADERs on THE ICE.
An Enjoyable and Picturesque Car
niyal at the Rink.


nival at the Rink.
The gay maskers held high revel on the
steels al the Ice Palace lasteyening. Wash
fngtou's most skillful skaters had looked
forward to the occasion with keenest an
,lcipation, and the event more than ful-
filled their expectations. Scores or orig
inally costumed figures glided graoefully
over the ice to the time OF dreamy waltz
music from the moment the rink was
thrown open until the time arrived when
the prizes were to be awarded. Cos
tunes that were grotesqae were not lack
ing on the floor. The queer antics OF
the darkey waiter, the pomposity OF a
policeman, and the eccentricities OF
Dutchman were portrayed to perfection.
AS the masked figures left the dressing
rooms and glided out upon the ice burst
of applause greeted them. Mcphistopheles,
in an unusually satanic get-up, at once
caught the fancy OF the spectators. BY
tiny invisible wire, through which an eiec-
tric current passed, the effect OF the dia
| bohcal costume was greatly enhanced This
costume was worn by P. D Lewis, who
recently took first prize at the Baltimore
carnival The Queen of Frost, in beautl-
fuI costume conveying the idea of the
title, was also exceedingly popular.
The prizes were awarded as follows: Miss
Breen. Queen of Frost, first ladies prize:

stions, and all this by studying during
the winter evenings. The social life of
the association is so conducted as to
make it the Young mans club. These
educational and physical advantages are
so wisely and cheaply conducted that
the young man of amb tion finds ample
opportunity to improve himself to the
greatest advantage. The religious work
of the association has developed so that
the associations are accomplishing TO-
day, in many respects, more than ever
before in their history.
1t will be wise step for every parent
who sends his boy away to the city, to
acquaint himself with the actual work
ings and benefits of the associations.
In order to make it possible for both
the young man and his parents to be-
come acquainted with the associations
the State Young NJ EMS Christian Asso-
cation of Connecticut has organized g
corps of corresponding members in the
towns where there are no associations.
The corresponding member from a
town is supposed to be one of the rep
resetative young men acquainted with
most of the young men in his town, and
is posted upon the work of the asso
Citations and can give the information
desired. When a young man leaves his
home this corresponding member will
provide him with letter of intro
duction to the secretary of the associa-
! ton in any city in the United States or
Canada. Upon the presentation of that
letter the secretary will take unusual
pains to see that the young man is
directed to a good boarding house.
Often the associations have rooms to
rent in their own buildings; some of
them have restaurants. He will also
" W
ployment, if necessary, and will then in
troduce him to the members of the as
ISOLATION, and thus give aim opportu,
nifty ito make his friends at the start
among the best young men of the city.
1t is at this important time of the
young mans life that the Young Mems
Christian Associations of the cities are
doing grand work, and it If hoped that
the young men who come from their
country homes will avail themselves of
this opportunity. In most of the towns
in which this paper goes there are such
men, and any information desired along
this can be secured by writing to w. Il.

don the signs of its approach were only
too obvious, bur long before it had given
anv outward warning of its coming in
that city, men we're already working to
make it a success, not in the Lord Cham
berlain's Office alone, but in barracks and
workshops, in fields and in shipysrds,
and it had upset values and demoralizad
trade in certain avenues all over the wide
world. So far in advance did the people
prepare for its coming that managers of
hotels in London bought up whole fields
before the green stuffs they would pro-
duce later had been planted and while
the ground was covered with snow. An
