The Campaign In Louisiana.
Asheville Gazette. /

Against the oiigarchv of pelf aud
fraud in Louisiana, entreuched behind
q thieving election law and Il c0nstitu-
tional amendment that has robbed the
State OF its political liberty. Senator
Gallery is battling in vain. He can ex-
pose the corruption of the gang that
rules the State, but be cannot altar the
result of the coming farce, still called
an election" that will continue the
supremacy Of this gang Of plunderers
In one OF big speeches f>w days ago
| Senator Gallery attempted 20 explain
the fact that he had not more strenu-
ously opposed the amendment (Which
is also now proposed by the political
| ollgarcby in North Carolins) limitin 2
suffrage aud violating the constitution
OF the United States. We quote from
the New Orleans Times Democrat:
senator Caffary made no reference
10 opponents except TO give the hisro-
ry OF his connection with the constitu-
tlonal convention. He said that he had
been invited to address that body up
on the organic ntion, but the letter in
vitIng him had been sent TO his home
q Franklin, while it was well known
that he was in Washington at the time
he after wards received telegram
from the TiLnes-Democrat askiDg lis
opinion as the cOnstiturionaIity of sec
ton D, and had answered til t, in his
OPP nion, it was unconstitutional, in
that 1t carried with il an element CT
fraud. subsequently he received teie-
gram from Hon. Andrew Price, asking
ii he could offer q substitute for that
section, and had replied that the best
substitute was its elimination altogeth-
er. He ridIculed the idea that the ne
gro was eliminated when he figured in
conventions based on population"
The limitation of the suffrage by con-
stltutIonai amendment went hand in
nand IN. LoUiisGna, as it Is planned for
lt to do IN n. c., withOn the legislation
OF fraud at the ballot box, and the peo-
pie seeing the success of the scheme
turned away in disgust. The vote in |
the State fell from 1000 in 1896 TO 81
O0O in 1898. The power of the govern
or was increased and his salary raised,

alton has come to be for the mainten

HOWARD CONVICTED.
He Il Found Guilty of tho AssaH iinatioI
of Gov. 6o~bsi aud His Punishment
Fixed nc Death.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 27.-James b.
Howard, who has been on trial for the
past ten days, charged with being a
principal in the assassination Of Will
liam Goebel, was found guilty by the
jury yesterday. his punishment he
ing fixed at death. The fact that the
jury had deliberated nll of Tuesday
afternoon without reaching n verdict
led to the belief that II was hope
lessly divided and this fact made the
verdict shocking to Howard and those
who hoped for his ultimate acquittal.
Howard did not lose his composure
when the verdict calling for the en-
IRENE penalty Of the law was read
in the crowded court room. lie
glanced ut his attorneys. who sat be-
side him. and smiled, but said moth
ing. After the jury had been dis
charged Howard was taken back to
the Jail and there for the first time
he betrayed emotion. He was joined
later by his attorneys who spent n
good part of the day In conference
with him in regard to the motion for
n new trial. which will he filed to-
day. and other matters in connection

"THE COST OF CRIME"
Interesting Paper Read Before the Nation
al Prison Concrrss By Hon. Eugene
smith, Of New York.

Cleveland, o., Sept. 26.-Yesterday's
session of the National Prison con-
gress was largely devoted to the dis
cussion Of the report of the standing
committee on preventative and re-
formatory work, read by the chair
man, George Torrance. OF Pontiac.
III. The report strongly urged pre-
tentative measures and pointed out
that It is far better to Keep people
out of prison rather than to treat
them in prison.
At the evening session Hon. Eu-
gene Smith, of New York, read n pa
per on "The Cost Of Crime" lie pre-
scented statistics showing that the to-
tal annual cost of crime taxation in
the United States Is not less than
$200,O00,O00. From statistics based
on n broad deduction, he said, II has
been ascertained that persons who
follow crime as business realize
from their spoliations on the COM
munity 1900 each per annum. But
this, he added, does not represent
half the loss to the public, since 1t is
well known fact that the receivers
of stolen goods get the lions share
Of the profits.
Mr.. Smith said the number of
prisoners now in confinement in the
United States is about 100000 and
that n conservative estimate has
placed the number of criminals mt
large Mt 100000. OF the latter fully
one-half are habitual criminals.
Concluding. the speaker said:
1.-TWO hundred and fifty thousand
criminals Mt 1000 each represent an
aggregate annual income Of 100000
900. Add to this the yearly taxation
caused by crime Of $200,000.O00 and
Il gives the enormous total of $780,
100000"

ROOSEVELT In COLORADO.
The Governor Makes Several More speeches
In the Mining Btats-A Threatening
Crowd &C Victor.

Cripple Creek, Col, Sept. '27.-on
leaving Colorado Springs yesterday,
having previously stopped Mt Castle
Rock, the special Roosevelt train was
split into two sections, the first stop
thereafter being at Colorado City.
The entire population appeared to see
the New York governor and shake
his hand. Manitou was the next stop.
A large crowd was assembled there
TO listen to the five-minute talk OF
the campaigners. There were many
ladies' with fngs and flowers which
were literally bestowed on the travel
ers. The train then moved on to Di-
vide, where there was n pause. A
call was also made mt Gillette and
Independence. At Victor. few miles
from Cripple Creek, among the mines,
q small opposition crowd caused con-
siderable trouble and threatened viO-
lencc TO Gov. Roosevelt, but the train
afterwards pulled out Of the place
with some rough riders guarding the
governor. Gov. Roosevelt, while re-
GREETING the occurrence. was not dis
turbed by the incident and was ready
to proceed with his speeches in Grip
pie Creek.
