The chameleon politician is already on deck. This peculiar brand is indigo nous to Oakland, and his existence IS only made possible by the fact that this city is so split up by factional and personal political strife that any one of his prevailing hues can always ina some mirror to reflect it.
 No matter what the dominant ques- tion be in politics, whether religious, water company fight, an anti-raiiroad spasm, or any other of Oakland's ail- ments, this clever fellow can always don a suit that seems to fit the oc- casion, and the peculiar part of his ex- istence is that no one ever calls him a hypocrite, but refers to him as smart fellow
 There are several of these to be found just now. but they are undecided what to do next. Many projects are in the wind, but it is not safe at this early date to make a wild jump toward any particular platform, neither is 1t safe to deny any particular afnliatlon. The chameleon politician for the next few weeks is badly tied up, but more interesting than usual on that account, everybody wondering which way he will jump.
 The curious are asking these political factotums what kind of argument 1t is that causes them to change their ideas and they will continue to ask, for the "arguments" in such cases do not see the light of dav but change hands secretly. STUART W. BOOTH.

The Suffrage Clause.
Abbeville Meridional.

The Constitutional Convention
after mnch trouble has passed a
suffrage ordinance. 1t contains
many Objectionable features but
we are not disposed to be too
harsh in our criticism. We do be-
lieve that it does not satisfy the
people and that it will lead to the
disruption and possible destruc-
ton of the Democratic party. We
believe the States hits the mark
fairly well when it says:
IF ones judgment can be FORM
ed by the talk heard when "men
most congregate," the election of
1900 in this State are going to be
prolific of trouble and serious con-
sequences to the Democratic par
ty, not in the city of New Orleans
only, but in the State of Louisi-
ana. The people are not only dis
appointed but disguised with the
suffrage ordinance. which is to be-
come a part of the organic law"
1t is said that the convention did
the best it could under the cir
cumstances, and as some of tho
noblest men in the State are men,
bers of that body, We believe that
the statement is absolutely cor
rect, but this will not satisfy the
people of Louisiana and they will
be certain to demand the meaning
of the circumstances" which have
thwarted them and bafled their
desire for fair and honest cleo
tions. They will inquire and they
will know, and moreover, they will
be heard from in 1900. The poll
ticians who are responsible for
the suffrage ordinance had better
mark the date"

Congressman Broussard, who
sent in to the Governor his condi-
tional resignation coupled with a
declaration of war by the Ameri-
can government against Spain, has
not been in this section to marshal
the mighty hosts for bloody bat
tie. The fact was heralded all
over the world that Broussard had
asked the Governor to assign him
to duty with the State militia-
that he intended to organize a
company of volunteers and march
to the front to hunt up something
to slaughter. From the press re-
ports one could almost see in ones
imagination, Louisiana's youthful
representative heavily laden with
all sorts of destructive machinery
ready to send a hellish shower of
fire and lead to cut men down like
withered grass. But he cometh
not. The storm has spent its
force, the flames of ambition daz-
zle no more against the sheen of
prospective notoriety, but still,
strange to say, the world moves
on just the same; and this fact
should be accepted as a measure
of gratitude by all mankind

VENETIAN DAYS

minded of the Examinations which
so often decorate Venice by night,
and the gala manifestations which
are so frequent a feature of her
more wakeful hours. Since l have
been here she has had two politi-
cal holidays, and one of a religi-
GUS kind. Next week she will
celebrate her deliverance, in lS4S,
from Austrian domination-what-
ever mournful disasters ensued in
succeeding decades. The truth is,
poor Venice has been so heavily
weighted with the role of histo-
ry-maker, that her victorious bat
ties and triumphant treaties keep
her hands full, as one might say,
in regard to anniversaries. These,
with her multitudinous saints

petual condition of the gladstone

I constantly cross, as it almost
verges on my chambers overlooking
the Grand Canal, preparations are
now being reared (long upright
poles, with numberless wire hooks
from which luminous balloons
will doubtless depend) for the re-
joicings of next Tuesday. And SO
it forever goes on. The people
here never seem to forget their
past. Indeed one might almost
declare that Venice has no present
at all-that her future, 80 to speak,
is all series of mild, lazy and
merry yesterdays. Spring is al
ready touching her with necroma-
tic witcheries. For three or four
mornings I have walked up to find
her swathed in pearly sea-mists.
