THE ELLIOTT HOME BURN
ED TO THE GROUND.

1t is with feelings of the deepest
regret that we chronicle the des-
truction by fire of the Elliott home
at Magnolia Plantation, this parish
last Thursday noon. The fire ORR
ginated from the explosion Of a
gasoline stove and so very rap
id was the progress OF the
flames, that none of the household
effects could be saved. Mrs. Cart
wright, one of the ladies OF the
house who is still suffering from
the terrible burns she sustained last
winter, was removed from the
house with much difficulty. Not
only do we regret the personal loss
to the Elliott family, but the old
home was a land mark in our par
ish. Its dimension, the general
plan Of the house and particularly
its spacious gallery recalled an
other epoch. One had but to view
the old place and at once visions
of the old southern hospitality and
ease dawned across the magma
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the
cruel flames did not destroy the
majestic magnolias that lowered
above the house. for, now that the
old building is gone, they in their
proud grandeur would be fitting
reminder of the days that are gone,
and of the brave southerners who
have passed away, The place
originally belonged to Valerien
Martin father of Mrs. VIM. Camp

I.oon Politics.

Some OF the State papers are very
busy Just noS making slates for the
Democrats and Silyerites for the
next campaign. The last name 70 be
placed on the slate is that OF Judge
Talbot for Supreme Judge. The
suh aston comes from the Carson
News and the Virginia Report goes
for it red-e..ed on the ground that
Judge Talbot had intentions OF cast
ing his lot with the Republican party
last fall, but that the overwhelming
victory OF Newlands and Fitzgerald
gave pause TO those intentions. The
ISDEPEyDEST has no desire to mix in
any political quarrel so far in advance
OF the next campaign. but it happens
to know that the Reports charge
against Judge Talbot il not borne
out by the facts. This much it
knows.
There seems to be a desire on the
part OF some OF the Fusion party
papers to nominate candidates Tor
every office TO be filed next year and
then to abuse every one who does not
agree with them. The result Of such
a policy will be the decentralization OF
the fusion forces. Every voter
driven from the ranks by such tactics
weakens the opposition to the Repub.
lican party and makes a fusion
victory harder to win.
This seems to the INDEPENDENT to
be the climax OF political folly. In.
stead OF paying any attetioD to the
suggestions of the Republican press
as to whom the candidates Of the
fusion party shall be next year. and
placing candidates in the field them
selves and abusing those who do not
agree with them. the Fusion party
editors should devote all their ener-
gies to strengthening the fusion lines
by winning converts from the oppusi-
ton and bracing up those III their
own ranks who are halting between
two opinions. Such a conrse will
make victory sure, while the course
they are now pursuing Will make de-
feat possible il not inevitable.
