NEW ORLEANS, July 26.-Mayor Cap

few days. and the vigorous measures
adopted by him and the Governor here at
once restored peace and order 1t is
scarcely possible that there wHll be any
more mob disorders, for the city has been
placed under what is practically martial
law.
The mob, or mobs, for there were several
Of them, had control of most Of the city
all night and until after daylight this
morning, and in some localities continued
outrages upon negroes until noon. As the
day advanced and the militia and citizen
soldiers made their appearance on the
streets the disorder ceased, and at 6
O'Clock this evening peace reigned.
Last nights riot took the police and
public generally uEawares. The police
anticipated trouble in the negro section
Tuesday night, when the news of the
murder Of the police officers was generally
known. and took the necessary precautions.
The mob was dispersed SO easily that it
was thought all the trouble was over. All
Wednesday and until Wednesday night
there was peace, and it was supposed that
there would be no further rloting. The
police were assigned 10 their ordinary
duties last night and scattered over the
entire city.
When the mob first formed about S
O'Clock, half dozen policemen easily dls-
persed it. 1t reformed. however, growing
much larger and marching hither and
thi,her. The police were hastily called in
from the suburban precincts and concen-
trated at several points. When the mob,
then several thousand strong, reached the
parish prison the police were concentrated
there and were again able to dispense it.
At Il O'Clock it was thought that the
trouble was ever, with only two or three
negroes beaten, but, as a matter OF fact,

ED. The INDEPENDENT:-
The Advertiser OF June ~, has the
following:
The INDEPENDENT quotes the Ma.
ton to prove, that Mckinley has a
small show for the presidency and
describes the paper as an independ-
ent journal. Probably The INDEPEN-
DENT is unaware of the fact that the
Nation is the weekly issue of the
New York Evening Post, a Mug.
wump journal which, although, ad-
mired for it's polish and the keenness
OF its sarcasm was never esteemed as
a prophet or even as fair witness
in the field political.
The Advertiser is apparently not
prepared to refute single charge
exposing the underground twistings
of Mckinley, but contents itself
with trying to lower the influence Of
the nation as power, among the
masses in the realms OF Uncle Sam,
which puts one in mind of rat
bucking at a stonewall.
The Nation is a power in the land
and is unimpeachable, fair and fear
less. The Independent party, nick
named mugwumps, was invented by
sore-headed machine political
crooks, who owe many defeats to
the above party. The Independents
works and vote 10 elect the best
men, regardless OF party.
Dear reader, the Advertiser clique
would no more caro- who was
President of the United State than
the man in the moon, if it didn't in
terfere with Dole If Mckinley is
defeated, then down goes Dole and
his gang of narrow minded squealers
