A FAIR PROPOSITION.

With a view of bringing 20 a
peaceful settlement the much mixed
judicial question, Messrs. J. T. Nc
Clellan and f. Y. Ransdell, on last
Monday, submitted a proposition to
Mr.. Holmes and his friends, namely :
that the entire matter of the Judge.
ship be referred 10 the State Central
Committee, both sides to abide by
whatever decision the committee
might reach. This proposition was
made by Messrs. Mcclellan and
Ransdeh in the interest of harmony
and 10 avoid.any independent move
ment at the general election in April.
Mr. Ransdeil has been especially
DESTROYS that some amicable solution
could be arrived at before April.
The Holmes people promised a
reply to the above the latter part of
this week, but so far have given
none. If they do not agree to such
fair offer as this, the weakness of
their position becomes manifest,
while the course Of Mr.. Ransdell
VIII be materially strengthened.
Nothing can be fairer than to leave
the entire matter to the State Cen
trail Committee; and if our friends
in Madison are sincere in their desire
for harmony and peaceful solution
of this much muddled question,
now is the time to show it.
Mr.. Ransdell has again put him.
self on record as desiring nothing
but what is right. The straight
forward course he has pursued has
won for him a great many more
votes, and he now stands the favor
lie by large odds. Numbers of men
in Madison, so we understand, have
recently come over to him, and more
will come, if this present muddle
continues. HIS strength, his real
strength, lies IN the open stand he
has taken; and this will win for him
more votes than dozen politicians,
by talking a m onth, could do.
Mr.. Ransde!l is DESTROYS of doing
what is right, and this is the secret
of his increasing strength.

that Pharr was elected governor of
this State in 1896. and would have
been duly installed, but for the
treachery of the Citizens League.
Fusion with the Populists was not
effected, but conference committee
was appointed to negotiate with all
elements opposed 10 Democracy.
The Populists held convention in
Alexandra the same day, and if no
fusion is effected, there will be two
Republican and Populist ticket in
the field, which means, Of course a
Democratic victory. If they should
even fuse, the Democrats will win.
As will be noticed, Judge w. q.
WHY is the nominee for Lieutenant
Governor. W lille we regard Judge
Wyly very able and level headed
man, we do not think he will take
any active part in State politics.
Judge Wyly has always, and with
excellent Judgment, refrained from
dabbling in local Republican fights.
A Republican on national issue, he
does not allow himself to be drawn
into petty political issues out of
which nothing can come. We be-
live that Judge WHY will hands
off.
Republicanism cannot win in Lou
isians. The Democracy is too we'll
united to attempt to break into its
ranks. There are no political DIS
cords that tend to weaken or divide
our forces, and a combination of all
the Republicans, all the Populists
and all the disaffected Democrats
could not be made strong enough to
defeat us. Democracy will triumph
IN Acril, and Heard will undoubted-
will be our next Governor.
The Republicans jump on the adj
mlnistratlon and condemn Gov. Eos
ter. We don't blame them. 1t is
Foster who has helped to keep them
down; it is Foster who has made a
good Democratic Governor; it is
Foster who has kept his eye on them
and who whipped out the Pharl
crowd four years ago. Gov. Foster
has given us a good administration,
and the Republicans are not likely
to accomplish anything as long as
men like him occupy the gubernato
rial chair.

The Sunday States, in strong
editorial, right from the shoulder
on the assassination and death of
Governor Goebel, says: The brave
Democrat and leader Of his people,
is dead. Assassination lifts its hor-
rid head in triumph. Law and right
have been stricken down. These
conditions, however Will not long
prevail; we do not believe it IA pos
sible for them to prevail. If there
is spark Of mankind left in the
glorious old Democracy of the proud
old State of Kentucky, the people
will rise 10 their invincible might
and drive from Frankfort the usur-

now terrorlzing and threatening the

We publish in another column an
amendment to the Constitution of
Louisiana relative to sewerage and
waterworks for the City of New Or
leans. 1t will be remembered that
last summer the City of New Orleans
voted on the question to levy tax
for this purpose. which was carried
by large majority both in amount
and number. To make it constitu-
tional the whole state has to vote on
the amendment, although the state
does not bear any of the expense
whatever. We hope the people of
the country parishes will vote as q
unite in favor of it. New Orleans
has needed good system of water
works and better sewerage system
for long number Of years, and the
proposed amendment should be
adopted.

BUTTE AND BOSTON COMPANY
XEFUsD AN EI0HT-H0UR
WORKING DAY.
ANSWER COMES FROM
THE EASTERN DIRECTORS.
Company Employs About $50 Men
No Trouble Will Result From
the Decision.

The Butte & Boston Mining company
has submitted it's reply to the request of
the unions of Butte for a neight-hour
day. The answer was courteous, but
brief. and to the effect that the company
regretted it could not accede to the re-
quest, concluding with the statement
that should h request be enforced the
company would be compelled to close
down it's mines and smelter.
The request for an eight-hour day,
without a diminution of pay, was sub
mitted to the company about two weeks
ago by the Miner union, the Mill and
Smeltermen's union. the Bricklayers and
Masons' union and the International As
ISOLATION of Machinists. The request
was couched in courteous terms and q
consultation between committees from
the unions and the local officers of the
company was held, at which the matter
was talked over in a friendly way. AT
the close of the conference the local off,
GERS of the company promised to bring
the matter to the attention of the direc-
tors of the company at once and submit
an answer before July I, the date set by
the unions for the beginning of the eight
hour day.
The Butte & Boston company employs
about $50 men, Of whom about 500 are
employed in it's mines n shelters.
None of the employees. when approached
today, cared to express an opinion on
their future action. None of them seem
ed to anticipate any trouble, as they had
been led to believe that the agitation
bly, conducted and the statement of the
that an enforcement of the re-
quest would n~ecessttate the shutting
down Of the mines and smelters would
preclude the possibility of n trouble.

Suit Arises Out Of the Purchase of

AS usual. Judge Clancy settled down
to business this morning on schedule
time, not holding back the fraction Of a
second after the big clock had ceased
of attorneys and seekers Of judicial relief
was large.
The first matter disposed of by the
court was a motion to throw out of court

suit brought by Lulu F.. Largay against
J.. Benton Leggat 10 decide title to he
Gray Eagle o Fraction claim. which
Mr.. Leggat bought at sheriff's sale in a
partition suit a few yearsl ago, paying
for it $50 The purchase was made
prior to the death of Patrick A. Largely.
Viii L. Clark was then in the employ of
Mr.. Largely, being engaged In the capac-
fty of private secretary. He is now in
! Arizona. It Is alleged that Largey, de-
string to get hold of the property MIN
self. sent Clark, Leggat and another man
to not go above S. 900. unless there WAS
strong opposition. The first to reach
this sum was Mr.. Leggat, n the others
quit on the alleged supposition that The
Gray Eagle Fraction was headed for
Port Largely anyway, and would III

was on the Largely inside his testimony

issue a commission authorizing An Off
