This gives us Judge Blackman as
the Democratic nominee for district
Judge, and Mr.. Jas. Andrews as our
district attorney. We take it that
there are very few Democrats who will
not be perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit. In our individual case it was a
matter of choosing between personal
and political friends, and in large
measure we Judge it was the same
with others. So the Democratic
voters of this parish were good deal
in the same fix as the fellow with two
pretty girls, both of them desirable
as sweethearts. But it was not prac-
ticable to make love to both of them
at once, and he cried out in his dilema,
"How happy / could be with either,
were 'tother charmer only awayP'
So, now that the other charmers are
out OF the field, it will not be at all
difficult for all Democrats to unite
heartily upon the party nominees.

Important Suit Decided.

Judge Machen has decided adversely
to Dunn and Teddlie in the matter of
the homestead suit against McNeely.
The Alexandria Town Talk gives the
following account of the decisions:
"The law suit of J. E. Dunn and
E. W. Teddlie vs. j. II. McNeely, has
created a great deal OF interest con-
sidering the question involved. 1t
was brought in the district court at
Colfax, Grant parish. The plaintiffs
claimed as their property about 600
acres of alluvial land, worth $50 per
acre, situated on Red river, near Col
fax. They based their claim under a
homestead entry, the land having
been declared vacnt by the q. s. land
office. Defendant disputed their
claims and declared in his petition
that he held the land under Spanish
title granted by Gov. Miro IN 1870.
The lower court, Judge NJ. f. Machen
presiding, recognized the Spanish
grant, and gave Judgment rejecting
plaintiffs demands and decreeing the
defendant to be the owner of the land.
Mr.. W. c. Roberts, OF Alexandria. re-
presented the defendant, McNeely.
We do not know whether the plain
tiffs will appeal to the Supreme Court
or not.

HANGED to the general consumer, are
obnoxious not only to the common
law, but also to the public welfare.
When American products may be
subjected in a foreign country, upon
speciOus pretexts, to discrimination,
compared with the like products of
another country, this government
will use its earnest efforts to secure
fair and equal treatment for its citi-
zens and their goods. Failing in this
twill not hesitate to apply whatever
corrective may be provided by the
statutes.
The future government of the Phil
ippines rests with the congress of the
United States. Few graver RESPONSE
bilities have ever been cOnfided to us.
If we accept them in a spirit worthy
OF our race and our traditions, a great
opportunity comes with them. The
islands lie under the shelter OF our
flag. They cannot be abandoned.
The truest kindness to the Philipi-
nos will be a swift and effective defeat
of their present leader The hour of
victory will be the hour of clemency
and reconstruction. We shall not
wait for the end of strife to begin the
beneficent work. We shall continue,
as we have begun, to open the schools
and the churches, to set the courts in
operation, to foster industry and
trade and agriculture and in every
way in our power to make these peo-
pie whom Providence has brought
within our jurisdiction feel that it is
their liberty and not our power, their
welfare and not our gain, we are
seeking to enhance.
All of the administrative measures
adopted In Cuba have aimed to fit it
for a regenerated existence by enforc-
ing the supremacy of law and justice,
by placing wherever practicable the
machinery OF administration in the
hands of the inhabitants; by institu-
ton of needed sanitary reforms; by
spreading education; by fostering in
dustry and trade; by intoxicating pub
lie morality, and, in short, by taking
every rational step to aid the Cuban
people to attain to the plane of self
conscious respect and self-reliant uni
ty which fits an enlightened CON-
munity for self-gOvernment within
its own sphere, while enabling it to
fulfill all outward obligations,
The occurrence of manifestations of
blind mob fury directed at depen-
dents or natives OF a foreign country
suggests that the contingency has
arisen for action by congress by the
direction of comforting upon the fed
eral courts jurisdiction In this class
of International cases where ultimate
responsibility of the federal govern
ment may be involved. If such zeal
GUS solicitude be shown for alien
rights in cases of merely civil and
pecuniary import, how much greater
should be the public duty to take
cognizance of matters affecting the
life and rights of aliens under the
settled principles of Internationally law,
no less than under treaty stipulations
In cases OF such transcendent wrong
doing as mob murder, especially when
experience has shown that the local
justice is too often helpless to punish
the Offenders.

Synopsis OF Presidents Message.
The financial transactions of the
government are conducted upon a
gold basis. He urges that national
banks be authorized to organize with
capital of $25,000. We are main
tanning the parity OF all the money is
sued or coined by the authority of
the government.
The rebellion in the Philippines
must be put down. Civil government
cannot be thoroughly established UNI
til orderis restored. The fundament-
al requirement for these people, asfOr
all people, is education. The free
schoolhouse is the best preceptor for
citizenship.
Our plain duty is to abolish all Gus
toms tariffs between the United Sta
ties and Puerto Rico, and give herprO
ducts free access to our markets.
The new Cuba yet to arise from the
ashes of the past must needs be bound
to us by ties OF singular intimacy and
strength, ii it's enduring welfare is to
be assured. Whatever be the out
come we must see to it that free Cuba
be a reality, not a name, perfect
entity, not a hasty experiment bear
ing within itself the elements of fail
| ure.
A portion OF the gold holdings
should be placed in trust fund from
| which greenbacks shall be redeemed
upon presentation, but when once re-
deemed shall not thereafter be paid
out, except for gold.
The navy has maintained the spirit
and high efficiency which have always
characterized that service and has
lost none of the gallantry in heroic
action which has signalized It's bril-
liant and glorious past.
1t Will be my constant aim in the
administration of government In our
