A number of Louisiana papers
are not satisfied with the verdict
in the Batson case and are adj
vocating communication of the
sentence. Without wishing to
express any opinion as to the
guilt or innocence of Batson it
strikes US that the courts of
Calcasieu are more competent to
try criminal cases in that parish
than newspapers located in diff
ferent sections of the State.

Shot at IL Negro.

CROWLEY Signal
A white man by the name of
Gross Foreman, of Rayne, was
brought to this city Sunday and
incarcerated in the parish prison
on the charge of having shot at
negro with intent to kill. The
shooting took place in Rayne

not unprecedented until Sunday.
He does not look upon his case
in a serious light and believes
that he will come out all right.

Il .SER/OUS MIS- KE

| Our esteemed contemporary
the Avoyelles Blade, is mistaken
i'll believing that the advocates
of a primary are in favor of that
method of nomination because it
will give the people an honest
and efficient government" The
efficiency and honesty of the
present and preceding admins
trations are beyond question.
Louisiana has never had a better
governor than Mr.. Heard. The
Advocates of a primary are not
finding fault with his admins
tration. They simply believe
that the State ticket hould be
nominated by a primary be-
cause it is the more Democratic
method. That is all. It is not
a question of administration or
anti ad The move
ment for a primary should not
be made to appear as antagOniS-
tic to the present State ad min
istration. The Gazette is con-
scious of the high sense of pa
triotism which has actuated
Gov. Heard in the performance
Of his duties as chief executive
of this commonwealth and it
yields to none in its respect for
that gentleman. Whether it is
to enter private life or to serve
the public in another cap acity,
Gov. Heard will retire from his
present position with the es-
TEEN, confidence and good
wishes of the fair minded peo-
pie of this State
tits a serious mistake to con-
strue the popular demand for
primaries as a condemnation of
iOv. Heard's administration or
# the Democratic party. The
opponents of the primary plan
will not strengthen their cause
~ following such a course.

PALACES IN A BAD STATE.
Sanitary improvements Made Since
Queen Victoria's Death.

London. Jan. 27.-Since the accession
of King Edward, 5000 has been
spent by the office of works in the
renovation of the royal residences. OF
this amount buckingham Palace and
Marlborough House required by far
the greatest part.
It is well known in official circles
that when the government surveyors
examined Buckingham Palace after the
death of Queen Victoria they found the
drains in a shocking condition. The
need for the Introduction of new and
improved sanitary system was impera-
tive during the life of Queen Victoria,
but she was essentially a conservative
householder, and there was a desire not
to create a disturbance in the palace.
But when there was an opportunity at
the beginning of the new reign it was
seized to make a thorough examination
and the state of affairs discovered was
alarming.
The sanitation of Marlborough House
has also been thoroughly modernized.
The conditions here were better than
at buckingham Palace, but as it is the
Prince of Wales London home every
precautiOn has been taken in view Of
the presence Of SO many young chill
dren. -

TOO MANY STOVES.
Diplomat at Rome Was Using His Of

Rome. Jan. 1.-THE gossips of Rome
where gossip is ever rife are enjoying the
following "displOmatic' incident. A certain
diplomatist from a small but devout coun-
try. was accredited to the vatican with
due sOlemnity He was a diplomatist, but
business man a the same time, and de-
termined not to allow his talents to lie fall
low The accredited representatives are
allowed, of course, to bring everything
through the custom houses without ex-
animation and without paying any duty.
For while all went well. Big packages
We're delivered to the diplomatist without
remark but one day there came a con-
Segment Of 144 stoves. This gave rise to
a scandal which reached the ears of the
pope Remonstrances followed, and the
diplomatists government was notified He
was promptly recalled
Nothing daunted. the diplomatist sought
means of STAYING in Rome, wnera ne felt
very comfortable. He used his influence.
and one day Dloomed forth on interested
and expectant society as a representative
accredited to he cardinal For the present
his business instincts are apparently in
eclipse.

IF. said Prof. Moore wireless teleg-

Then. again, the vessels themselves

HAWAII's SILVER COINS.
Only About 100000 Left to Be Re
deemed Under the Coinage Act

Honolulu, Jan. 27.-Hawaii has only
about 100000 to be turned into the
United States mint to be recOined into
American dollars under the provisions
Of the coinage bill passed by congress-
The kalakaua money has been IN cir
culation here for 20 years, and it has
always been on parity with the Amer
lean coins.
There is an interesting story in con-
nectiOn with the coinage of this money
originally. Claus Spreckels was respon-
sible for its coinage and made several
hundred thousand dollars off a contract
he got to do the work. The issue was
81 600, eco. SpreckeIs furnished the bull
lion and the work was done at the San
Francisco mint in 1883. This was the
first time that Hawaii had any silver
coinage Of her own, and there was big
rush to get possession of the money.
A shrewd gang of spectators soon
saw an opportunity to make a good
profit out of the coins by selling them to
collectors, and after some little delay
they bought up all the silver dimes of
which there were some $50. 900, and held
them The dime was the smallest frac-
tional bit of currency and was soon OBJ
tainable only at a premium. The dimes
are now worth 40 cents apiece, and are
hard to obtain at even that price. An
attempt was also made to corner the
silver quarters, but as there were 5000
/ of them the scheme ended in failure,
the syndicate not having enough money
/ at It's command 10 keep control OF the
market.
When the Organic act was passed no
provision was made for taking up the
/ Hawaiian silver. and it has continued
to pass at par here. although there has
always been fear that serious results
might follow the circulation of two sets
of coinage Had the banks refused to
take the old silver. there would have
been an immediate panic. as there is
very little American sllver coin in cir
] rT--44 -k-.l1
the money in payment of duties, etc,
] else there would have been an immedi-
i ate depreciation in value. as the dollars
are worth but IS cents as bullion.
Hawaiian coins have been carried
away as souvenirs by many tourists, so
that that there is less than $500 600 of
the original million to be redeemed, and
all Of that viii not be exchanged a the
mint. The coins bear on one side the
profile of Kalakaua. and the words
'Kalakaua, King of Hawaii 1888" On
i the reverse side are the words ''Uamau
Ke Eaokaina I Ka Pono.' surrounding
the Hawaiian coat of arms.

NOTHING IN IT.
President Ripley Denies Another
"Rock Island DeaL''

Chicago, Jan. 27-Report came from the
east yesterday to the effect that the Rock
Island interests had made an offer for a
one-half interest in thle. control of the San
ia Fe. Regarding the report President
Ripley said: Il do not think there IS any
truth in it. There is no one to whom an
no single interest controls the Santa Fe.
The only way control could be purchased
would be to go in the open market and
ger it.
NO. it could not be obtained from the
Berwynd syndicate. for there is no such
thing and never was. Mr.. Berwynd is a
large stOckholder. but no one is interested
with him in a syndicate or a pool. I am
certain that there is nothing in all this
talk of closer relations between the Rock
Island and Santa F'e interests or any new
agreements between them"
