The present gubernatorial conte st
is the most uncertain we have had
in this State for many a wear
Some of the candidates have deve1-
oped considerable strength; but it
can not he truthfully said that any
one has doomed out as great
favorite. There is disposition
throughout the State to send unin-
structed delegations to Baton Rouge
and it is not unlikely that there is a
whole army of Richm onds who will
enter field under -t1e slightest pro-
vocation. So far the illogical can
didate' has failed to appear and
the "most available man" is vet an
unknown individual. That always
dangerous factor, the .sdark horse"
has not made himself known but
he may prance into the arena lust
in the nick of time to pluck the
fruit when it is ripe and Juicy.
Taking it all in all this is a most re-
markable campaign. We are on
the eve of the convention but even
the wisest political prophet can not
pick out the winner

TIE PRIMARY ELECTION

AS will be seen by the official re-
turns certified by the Democratic
executive committee the ticket
headed by Judge DebaiIlcn, and
known as the administration ticket,
has carried the parish. 1t is need
less to say that The Gazette is more
than pleased with the results Of the
primary election. The whole ticket,
from judge to coroner, received a
IN Jority Of the votes cast and con-
sequently will appear on the Demo
cratic ticket at the April election.
The large vote polled no doubt in
sures complete Democratic vic
tory in April. The primary passed
off quietly and was conducted with
absolute fairness toward all parties,
and we trust that the defeated can
didates will give to the nominees
the support to which they are hon.
estly entitled.
AS this parish is thoroughly
Democratic the nomination of the
ticket is equivalent to ITS election.
Now hat it is all over let there be a
cessation Of hostilities and a return |
to the more peaceful pursuits Of life. |
For the good Of our town and par.
ISL let the bitterness engendered dur
ing the campaign be appeased and
the period of angry passions
be succeeded by an era of good

feeling which will promote the
welfare OF all.

The Heney Divorce Case.

Judge George f. Talbot YESTERDAY
rendered his decision in the Hene,
divorce case, which has attracted the
attention of the Court and a large au.
dlence during the week. He granted
Mrs. Heney a divorce, absolute, and
gave her back her maiden name OF
Mary Barnes, and also decreed that all
the property of the parties was com
munity property. and therefore be-
longed to her. With regard to the in
terventiOn of the Bullion & EXCHANGE
Bank, the Court decided hat inasmuch
as Mrs. Heney had an interest in the
employment of counsel, to the fees of
whom the Bank succeeded by assign
ment, and insomuch as she took part
In such employment, and knew all
about 1t, the community property of
the parties should be held responsible
Tor such employment. and the Bank
gets a decree and Judgment for the sum
of $500.
But where does MIR. Heney get off?
He swOre in the Z. S. Court hat the
conveyences TO his wife and to Mrs
barnes were absolute cOnveyances to
them, and for value. In the State
Court he swore they were all made to
defraud the government, and he fur
ther sWore IN answer to the question
whether he had not told his wife that
ne had ST. 900 buried that he s'alwavs
kept something for himself" He has
Deer fined So, 90 SI40O of which has
been paid. After his term of imprison-
ment is over he can get out by taking
what Is known DIS the pauper's oath.
that Is, that he has no or
money with which to pay his fine. and
upon the ground that there is no i'm
p%rlsonment for debt, that oath would
ordinarily entitle him to his freedom
But now that he has sworn that he al
ways keeps something for himself
Judge Hawley will be more likely TO
keep him in jail for contempt of Cour
IN refusing to pay his fine when he i,
able to pay it than to let him off as a
pauper. Mr.. Heney viii also expert
ence some difficulty in getting to his
cache to pay his line in case he de-
slres to objaln his freedom.

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1899-04-29

to call names and give the amounts,
because we never, ma1iciously, say
anything in our columns to wound the
sensibilities of our patrons. Yet they
cannot be said to foster this race en-
terprise and it it that, if it is any
thing when they allow their subscrip-
tons to run for years without paying
anything on account. Many of them
are members of the church and if they
don't pay their bills they cannot be
Christians; and, if they do not pay
their just bills, whether they belong to
church or not, they are not honorable
nor honest. You who read this will
konw whether the cap fits you or not.
The Appeal has been issued as regu-
larly as the weeks have rolled around
from June, 1885, to the present date,
never having missed an issue, and has
as regularly as it has been issued, been
sent to the subscribers on our list; to
those who are in arrears, as we'll as
to those who have paid in advance.
And it is generally those who owe the
most who, while they find the most
fault with the paper, don't wish to
miss an issue, and if by any means
the paper fails to be delivered they
call at the office or send for the miss
ing number. 1t is very discouraging
to note the accounts of so many SUBJ
scribers growing larger every week
and yet they never seem to feel it
duty as honorable, honest people, to
bring or send something, be it ever so
little, to pay on their accounts. News
papers are not run on wind as hun
dreds of wOuld-be newspaper men have
found out and others will find out, and
as we know by twenty years exper-
fence. Every subscriber to whom the
paper is sent is expected to pay for
it and it is as dishonorable, as dishon-
est, as unchrisitan not to pay for
paper you receive as anything else you
receive. We try to refrain from MAX
ing such appeals as this to our pat
rons, as we do not wish to have SUBJ
scribers who live outside of the Twin
Cities know of our citizens shortcom-
ings. The people for whom this is in
tended know their duty; let them do
it; that's all. Pay for what you get;
you'll be happy and we'll be happier.
But don't do as the subscriber did in
the following case:
w. D. Smith, second assistant in the
office of the secretary of state, is edi-
tor of the Winnebago City Enterprise
Recently Mr.. Smith has been trying
to open the hearts and pocket books
of his delinquent subscribers-andh has
appealed with great eloquence, partic-
ularly to one man who is several years
in arrears. On several occasions Mr..
Smith has renewed his request for a
settlement but without any results. A
few days ago, however, the delinquent
subscriber was heard from. He wrote
letter explaining his poor financial
circumstances and in place of a remit
lance inclosed religious tract on
"Your Inheritance in the Future
Don't send us any tracts, please, nor
advice; send or bring cash. Just to
show our friends that there's nothing
mean about us, we will make a dis
count of 25 per cent on all old sub
scription accounts paid during April
and May, or, will take new subscrip-
lions at the same discount. Call or
send to The Appeal Office, Room 10
Union Block, St. Paul.
