JACKSON DAY.

To-day Is Jackson day, and will be OBJ
served to some extent by local Demo-
Gratis, who revere the memory Of the
great defender and promulgator of Demo-
cratic principles
Years have come and gone since the de-
claration of these principles was first made
in the immortal document founded by JEFF
ferson years ago. Years have passed and
become periods of history since the great
defender of these principles. Andrew
Jackson, won his great victory from the
British hosts at New Orleans. This event
Is the one that will be celebrated to-day
all over the land. While time has passed
rapidly since these great epoch's of our
country's history. yet the principles which
these men advocated. and themselves. can
not be forgotten by all men in whose
hearts the love of liberty and equality Is
ever supreme 1t is right that days should
be set apart and their memories and deeds
should be recalled.
In these days when there is such n de-
cided tendency TO the formation of classes
and the Capitalization of power, the name
of Jackson all that his remarkable
life implied. means much to the interests
Of the common people of the country.
Democrats cannot honor his name too
much, or pay a too high tribute to his
memory.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Get Mike Warner to tell you his lat
est political joke.
Co to the Bimetallic League meeting
tonight.
II will be noticed that the list of
the names suggested for vice president
of the Bimetallic League includes the
name of a prominent young Democrat
from nearly every district of the coun-
ty. The nominations are all persons
thoroughly competent. and the younger
element OF the paarty were given a
representation for the reason that II
was thought best to infuse some new
blcoa.and energy into the party me
idea u the Bimeta}lic Club sprang from
anory the Young men ard its success
is largely due to their efforts. Every
member of the club should cast a vote
tonight to give their proper represen-
tatjon in the organization of the
League.

extremely long intervals. and were con-
fined to the Police Court room, where
there is no carpet to wear out or furni-
ture to spoil. Both parties have held
suggestion meetings and primaries in
the Police Court room, and upon rare
occasions mass meetings of citizens, for
some public purpose, have been held
there. But the present situation is q
very different matter. Never before
has any political organization had its
regular and permanent headquarters
in the Council chambers-yet that has
been the situation for three or four
months past, while the City and
County Republican Committees have
held innumerable meetings in one or
the other of the Offices, and the whole
building is Republican club house,
the doors of which are open throughout
the entire twenty-four hours and the
political loafer is never absent, day or
night. Sometimes there are orly two
or three there, sometimes there are
twenty-five, but the place is never free
from them. 1t is open house, at the
expense of the public.
Another thing marked the bad taste
and ultra partisanship of the Republ-
can ring during the last national cam
paign. They decorated the interior OF
the Public Building with Republican
pictures, posted Republican badges in
the windows of the Offices, flied the
walls of the offices and the corridors
with the cards of Republican candi.
dates and generally ran the entire
building as though it had been bought
and paid for by Republican Doodle and
was being maintained out OF the funds
OF the Republican State Committee.
The record was broken all along the
line, and the pace is still being kept up.

A JUST CRITICISM.

To The Editor OF the Register.
Sir:-For information | would like
to know by what authority or right the
Republican Escort Club, or any other
political organization, occupies the
City Council chambers for their meet
ings, burning city gas and wearing out
the carpets. In my opinion it re-
quires great gall, but the party in ques-
ton are never short on that article.
Why do they not follow the example
of the Bimetallic Club and hire hall?
II would be more respectable and at
the same time would be to the interest
of the public at large.

of a horse in a buggy. When the horse
was stopped the front wheel OF the

! Wanted"
Girl Wanted" which comes to the
Opera House Thursday night. has a many
sided leading role which is aptly filed by
! that versatile comedian Frank Bush. Mr.
Bush figures as an impecunious individ-
ual who sees a chance to win girl and a
| fortune. which TO be successful necessi-
tates his masquerading in a variety of diff
| ferent personages. two of them being fem
mime, hustling Hebrew and fascinating
prima donna are two vastly different
characters, yet In Girl Wanted" Mr..
Bush represents both with equal complete
( ness. The situations in which he figures
! in the different gulses are of the most
| laughable description. The other charac-
! tiers are in the hands of a company OF
more than clever farceurs.
! De Koven and Smiths tuneful crea-
! ton, Rob Roy" was sung at the Opera
House last night by the Whitney Opera
| Company. 1t was the first time it was
heard in this city. but some of its airs
have become very popular. The pro-
! duction was very pleasing. The stage
settings are handsome. the costumes
elegant and appropriate, and the com
pany good The chorus is large and
well trained. The principal parts were
in competent hands. Miss Florence
Wolcott, Janet" possesses an excel
lent soprano voice, and her action is
easy and graceful. The honoTs were
! fairly divided between her and Albert
| Airing. who sustained the role OF
prince Charles" and whose faultless
rendition of one or two solos well re-
paid the audience for its attendance.
Arthur Donaldson, as Rob Roy" add
ed many to his host of admirers in this
| city. Miss Atherton, who took the
part of Flora, possesses a voice which
lacks strength. In Edwin II. Carroll
and Harry Parker, the comedy element
was in capable hands. The music is
of light catchy" order, and was eVl-
IDENTIFY appreciated by the audience,
which was one of the most fashionable
to assemble in the theatre during the
season. There were very few vacant
seats in spite Of the increase in the
scale Of prices.
One Of the largest crowds of the season
saw the opening performance Of Vanity
Fair" at the Grand Opera House last
night. and that the show was thoroughly
enjoyed could easily be judged by the en-
thusiastic and demonstrative applause
which greeted each and every artist and
feature. The company is a large one and
has the happy faculty Of being able TO
entertain with clean cut and new jokes
and songs. and unlike some of the So
cllaed variety companies, no suggestive
business or saying are resorted to. The
same attraction will appear throughout
the week and Saturday matinee.

Interesting Experience of an indianapolis
Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more

nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve medi-
cine and spring remedies; the real seat
of the mischief is lost sight Of the
stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep-
STA shows itself not in the stomach so
much as in nearly every other organ;
in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con-
stipated, with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and ap-

risings and heartburn.

FORTY SKELETONS
Of Race, Probably Extinct, Found
Near New Orleans.

Lake Charles, La, Sept. 1.-Forty hui
man skeletons have been unearthed in the
last few days on the shores of Prien lake,
a widening of Calcasieu river, some nine
miles below this city. Fragments of
bones and in some cases entire bones and
skulls were discovered by a party of
workmen engaged in digging shells for
the new railroad bridge on the banks of
Prien lake. They were only about two
feet below the surface on a bluff 10 feet
high, a few yards below the site of the
Burleson & Dupon mill.
The first bones uncovered attracted lit
tie notice, but the discoveries became
more and more frequent until at last the
men saw that they were digging into the
graves of men and women. The ancient
burial ground appears to be of great ex-
tent. The skeletons were laid in long
rows at uniform depth of two feet. Who
they were, what degrees of intelligence
and civilization they enjoyed and how
long they have been undisturbed on the
banks of the placid Calcasieu are ques-
lions shrouded in the deepest mystery,
to be solved partially perhaps by scien-
tific research. There is no knowledge.
no tradition in the neighborhood of the
existence of a burial ground at that
place. The condition of most of the
bones would indicate that they were
buried at a remote period. The skulls
are very thick, the jawbones heavier and
longer of those of the average Ameri-
can.
One of the skeletons, in a better state
of preservation than the others, has been
brought to this city and placed on exhi-
bition.
