New Orleans, July S1.-The Louisiana
Democracy are all torn up over Sena-
tor McEnery's recent course in the
United States Senate, and especially
his voting for the Dingley bill. Brief
lily it may be stated that the Democra-
ey north of Red river is one thing
and Democracy south of Red river is
quite another thing. North Louisiana
is for free silver and free wool and
primitive Democratic ideas generally.
New Orleans and South Louisiana De-
mocracy believes in gold dollars and
protection especially for sugar.
The funny part of it is Samuel d.
McEnery is from North Louisiana and
for years has been considered the ma
tional leader of the Democratic forces.
Recently he seems to have imbibed
some new and progressive ideas regard
ling protection and his North Louisiana
friends and the old school Democrats
generally, are in fog of amazement
and incredulity vt Sam McEnery's
new departure. 1t may be safely pre-
dicted that the Democracy of Louisiana
will split in two factions, McEnery and
North Louisiana is tooth and nail
against him. The Choctaw club of this
city, are making elaborate arrange
ments for a reception to be rendered
Senator McEnery. All the bank pres
identS of New Orleans with one eX-
ception have in interviews expressed a
tearty endorsement of McEnery's re-
cent course and this reception, is to
publicly voice the endorsement of his
vote on the tariff bill. There is a
general desire to hear the senator and
the Grand opera house has been Sc
cured for next Wednesday evening for
| the reception.

For Milk Furnished at the Drill by
Dairyman Neal.
H. A. Neal, dairyman, and J. W.
White, a real estate man, had a per-
sonal alteration on the east side OF
Main plaza yesterday afternoon, which

bill. White had a restaurant privi-
lege at the Fair grounds during the
late Interstate drill and contracted
with Dairyman Neal for the delivery
of milk. Ten gallons of milk are still
unpaid for and Neal demanded an i'm
mediate settlement of White. This
lead to hot words and Neal jumped
out of his cart and struck White in
the face with his fist, closing his right
eye. White then grabbed in his pocket
for knife and Neal ran through
Franks saddlery, with White after
him. Neal, however, stopped to pick
up big rock and this ended the foot
race Before any more damage was
done officers Ludwig and Mullins
were on the scene and took charge of
the men. They were taken to the po-
lice station and charge of beating
and striking was made against Neal,
while White is charged with using
abusive language. Both gave bond for
