Teddy Roosevelt the untamed ter
ror from the effete east, and vice
presidential candidate on the Repub-
1ican ticket is now doing the black
%guardism for the entire party, Hanna
included. It is rather appropriate,
however, though none the less regret
table from a civil standpoint that this
educated tough should have admins
tered to him q dose of his own medi-
cine. This happened q few days ago
at Victor, o mining town in Colorado.
1t was a pretty tough crowd no doubt
wild, woody and hard to curry. The
trouble began by some big hoodlum
of Feddy's escort ~snatching q Bryan
banner from. the hands of a miners
wife and stomping on it. The crowd
broke the fellows head OF course as
they generally do in the South and
West-the East being the only sec
ton where a woman can be insulted
with safety. Then Teddy in answe
to a rather pointed question about
embalmed beef intimated that his
questioner was a liar and a coward,
he was hit with a brick and assaulted
with rotten eggs and decayed vegeta-
bles. We repeat this was ~disgraceful
and so was Teddy's CAB. It was
4 case OF dog eat dog. There is a
limit wen for free speech.

The Democratic PIaeF6rnr-

The following is that portion OF the
platform adopted at Lafayette by the
Democratic Convention Of the Third
Congressional District, which relates
to. our industries, sugar and rice, and
is q ringing denunciation OF the non
committaE attitude OF the convention
which nominated Mr.. Williams -
(l.l Resolved, That we strongly
urge upon our nominee the Impor-
lance OF securing proper and adequate
tariff rates On our products OF lumber,
rice, salt, etc., as will best further
those interests.
(2.) Resolved, That sugar has
been regarded for many years by the
Democratic party as an ideal revenue
producing article, and that the nomi-
nee of this convention be requested to
urge upon the government of the
United States the necessity OF such 8
tariff upon it as will afford the gov
eminent q large revenue and our
sugar producers adequate protection
for their product.
W. call the attention of the people
of the third congressional district to
the significant fact that the platform
adopted by the Republican party at
New Iberia, has no word OF condem-
nation for the Mckinley administra-
ton in annexing to the United States
the Hawaiian islands thereby putting
on the market OF the United States,
in free and open competition with the
American sugar producers, twice the
amount of sugar produced in Louis
lana. That there is no word of con-
demnation of the Mckinley admins
tration for the annexation Of the is
lands of Porto Rico, producing near
~ as much sugar as is produced in
Louisiana, in free and open COMPETE
ton with the Louisiana producer
That there is no word OF condemna-
ton for the Mckinley administration
that an unjust and u~nwarranted war
is being conducted in the Philippine
islands to hold the archipelago, and
place upon market, sugar produced
by Coolie labor, exceeding the pro-
tduction of the United States, as well
as quantities Of rlce, to compete with
the American producers OF sugar and
flee.
That there is not a word of con-
demnation Of the Mckinley admins
tration to carry out the pledge of
Congress, to give the island Of Cuba
a free and Independent government ;
but instead the Mckinley administra-
ton has Endorsed, while it is attempt
ing and striving TO hold the island Of
Cuba as a part and parcel of this
country, and place on the market of
this country sugar produced on that
island by cheap labor amounting to
ohe-half of The consumption of sugar
in the United States.
That there is not a word OF con-
demnation OF the Mckinley admins
tration, for violating the constitution
Of the United States by imposing .
tariff on second grade rice produced
IN. this district and exported to the
islands of Porto Rico.
That there is not q word of con-
domination of the Mckinley admins
tration for sending Mr.. John A.

countries producing sugar and rice,

those articles are reduced to the de-

The many little Eton jacket effects
that are seen have most Of them some
appearance of fastening across the
front. Some have bows, some straps
with buckles, many little silk cords and
buttons, while another will have a
silk scarf coming from under turned
over collar and tying in front. Tiny
little buttons Of cloth like the gown
and larger crocheted buttons also OF
the color of the frock are being seen
more and more.
Panne velvet, 1t has been said, is not
serviceable and will not be worn, but
most Of the new frocks have little
touch of it, usually in the belt, with
more at the neck and finishing the
faring cuff. These faring cuffs are
seen on many of the wash shirt waists.
A pretty bodice to gown is made

ribbon, the jacket stopping about three
inches above the waist, the insertion
being carried down to the waist line
like straps over the plated chiffon
bodice of white worn underneath. This
STYLE bodice has been worn this win

The newer froclIs have most of them
crush belt of some kind. One of these
gowns, having a broad pointed collar, so
broad that the effect is almost Ike a
yoke, has belt of the material, blue
figured silk, crushed n little around the
waist and above pointed to match the
collar and fitted. having something the

The question at issue had arisen
