Two of a Kind.

Notwithstanding the strenuous
opposition and protest Of a&l the
better clements of the Republican
party in this State, President Nc
Kinley has appointed Henry De
mas, one of the most corrupt and
obnoxious negro politicians in the
country, to the prominent and lu-
crative position of Naval Officer
for the port of New Orleans. i.
--Donaldsonville Chief.
And every Democratic paper in
the State has been jumping up and
down, clapping its hands in glee
because of the votes they claim
this appointment will make for
their party.
But while the appointment is
fully as bad as even the Demo
Gratis paint it, there is no reason or
good sense in its making a single
vote for any Democratic ticket.
Demas was and is a prominent
leader in tho Wimberly faction of
the Republican party in this State.
Together he and Wimberly made
their fight for the richest Federal
plums in this State. And in this
fight they were aided and eneoura-
ged, as far as Democrats could do,
we are told, by every congressman
from this State. The Daily Item,
the leading Republican paper in
the South and Wimberly's organ,
was even able to boast, without
any denial from the Democratic
press, that one Democratic Scna
tor from this State would champi
on Wimberley's confirmation il
the Senate. And Wimblerly's sue
cess meant Demas'.
And Demas' success meant Dem
ocratic votes, if the voter woult
continue to be fooled by the 'Af
rican spook."
And that accounts for secret ba
effective Democratic aid-perhap
the lone Democratic vote on tn
tariff bill-and for Democratic re
joicing over Demas' appointment
Two humbugs are necessary t
fool the people, and the Democrat
ic one must be kept alive in tn
6 South, even if the Republican hum
bug has to commit grave errors t
do it.
But the people have refuge
!, , a party which they are keepin
alive without official pap or tn
backing of any millionaire or trns1
and in their own good time the
will see to it that the Peoples pal
: : ty sweeps the old twin frauds OF
! Of existence, and governs in the
interest.

The Populists of Louisiana have
nineteen representatives in the State
Legislature. The people Of that
State are enthusiastic in reform
work and are holding camp-lneet-
ings this month. The one at Match
itoches, on the 22d, promises to be
the largest in the way of numbers
Of any ever held in the State.
Much of the success of the Popu-
list party in Louisiana is due to
the efforts of State Chairman ii.

workers in the party. -Noncon-

The biggest fool is the man who
says we can have but two great
political parties. Why bless your
life, there are nineteen political
parties in France and almost as
many in England and Germany.
The freer a country is the more
parties it will have. You might
as well say that there can be but
two great religious denominations

and as to the seeding of the rabi crop to be harvested next spring which latter includes the wheat crop.
 A reliable estimate of the worlds what and rye crop issued by the Hun garian minister of agriculture gives the following results for 1897 as compared with 1896:
 Wheat production, importing coun- tries S0O,71S,0OO for 1897; SS6, 6,639,00O for 1896; export countries 1897, 1,341, SOC, ,0oo; 1896, 1,452, 1902, 900. Total wheat produc- tion of both importing and exporting countries in 1897, 2,142, ,577, ,00O; in 1896, D. 939, ,541, 900 bushels; net deficit 1S97 2O2,- S95OoO bushels; 1896, SO,534,oOO bushels.
 The worlds rye crop is put down by ths same authority as follows: 1S97 1,163 457 900 bushels; 1S96 1,2O3, ,1S50OO bushels.
 Against the net deficit of approximate ly 2OS, S,OOO,OOO bushels of wheat estimated by the minister they estimate that there is a residue of from 145, ,000, 900 to 0,000,- 900 bushels out of former crops, leaving
 
 in round numbers from 5S,O00, coo down to s, ,000, ,000 bushels as the quantity by which it would be necessary to curtail consumption, if these estimates should prove to be correct 1t is, of course, quite likely that under the influence of high prices consumption will be cur tailed by more than this amount, and the existing stocks will not be reduced too near the point of extreme exhaus- tion.
 Extremely persistent reports as to the extent of the crop failure in Russia have been circulated, but the liberal quantities coming forward for ship | ment have led dealers to receive such | reports with incredulity. It is probable, however, that much of the Russian grain going to Western European markets is out of the more liberal harvest of former years and there is evidence tending to show that the crop of 1897 is, at any rate, considerably below the average. The markets of Europe will apparently be inadequately supplied with good clear barley suitable for maltlng pur- | poses, complaints on this score being | common among growers in large parts | of Germany, Austria-Hungary and other countries, including the province of On tario. in Canada, in which such barley Is usually an important product. The European potato crop is apparent

 Prof. O'Malley, of Notre Dame uni- versity, read a paper on the prevention of contagious diseases in the city. Many cases called diphtheria, he asserted, were unjustly quarantined. He held that physicians should be appointed to examine threats of children in schools periodically and give instructions for care of patients and modes of disinfec- tion.
 At the afternoon session Dr. Kress of the sanitarium this city made some bold charges His paper was on the Relation of Habits of Life to Chronic Diseases" Both acute and chronic dis eases, he claimed are due to evil habits and owing to bad living of people, are on the increase in this country. People , are becoming degenerate and one of the chief means of producing this na- tional change is the universal practice . of beer drinking. Tobacco, he asserted, is also a national curse and majority of the patent medicines and many drugs in common use are deleterious. Meat eating also produces disease.
 Dr. Haughey, of this cdty, in a paper urged that puplic baths should be the shower kind as bathing in tubs by diff fersnt persons is unclean and many er- ceive poison in their systems by bathing after other persoins.

 Following is an abstract:
 Recent information, while 1t may, in some cases, modify the crop situation as regards the United States, does not change the situation as regards the de- ficiency in the principal cereal crops in Europe. The wheat crop situation in Australia continues good, but the con- ditions in Argentina are less promising owing to drought and frost.

 He came hare on northbound freight train and when brakeman attempted to put him off he showed fight, and after securing some rocks he got back on the train and threatensd the brakeman. The brakeman called for help and Marshal Blackburn responded. The negro ran and Blackburn followed calling on him to halt, but the negro continued his flight down Main street.
 Blackburn fired twice, apparently without effect and the negro turned the corner at Mrs. Platt's and ran diagonal 1y across the street to the east of MT Davidson's residence. When he had reached the sidewalk Blackburn fired the third time, bringing the negro down. Blackburn says he was in the act of putting his hands on the fence to jump in Mr. Davidson's garden.
 He walked over ito pr. Byar's office. All three of the shots took effect in Hun ter's back, but none of them are nsces- sarily fatal.
 The search for Will Hunter, the negro who escaped from the hospital ward of the prison at Pratt City on Tuesday af- ternoon, was continued all day yestar- day.
