Difference Between the Towns

Oacoma Gazette: Eugene Martin,
ene of our town merchants, while
ent Of the city, took occasion to visit
The state capital. He found planks
OUT of the sidewalk, the town in a
aelapidaled cond ition, and every
thing looking very much as though
prosperity had ceased to smile on her.
He took the train for Mitchell and
here all vas thrift, and prosperity
seemed to smile on every corner.
Few buildings going up, streets all
clean, walks kept up, in fact every
thing looked as though the people
were prosperous and were doing
business. He visited the new city

Where 1t Wouldn't Hurt.

Exchange: The fellow who thinks
his town would be hurt by moving
the capital to Mitchell would favor a
scheme that would nov the state
capital up 10 about Mound City in
Campbell county. That would put
it fully as neal a large number of
settlers as it now is and would give
the heightened commercial towns a
chance to pay more mileage to their
legislators every two years to 20 to

SHANGHAI IMPROVEMENTS.
Scheme to Increase the Harbor and
River Docking Facilities.

1t is stated that Sir William Bredon. dep
uty inspector general of customs at Shang-
hal, went TO Picking December @, intending
to submit for the consideration OF the for
eign office and the diplomatic body certain
proposals approved by the Marking viceroy.
Choufu, for a scheme with reference to the
Shanghai river conservancy to be embodied
In a new convention to take the place of
annex II of the Picking protocol of 1901.
The scheme follows the general lines of the
recent dispatch of Sir Ernest Satow to the
foreign Office accepting the principle that
China should carry out the work at her own
charges under the supervision of the mari
time customs. The officials of the United
States note with satisfaction the interest
taken In the matter by other powers, the
eminent. The scheme when carried out
will be of great Importance to commerce,
improving the Shanghai harbor and river
docking facilities. Although the viceroy
did not accept Sir SatowS conditions in re-
gard to guarantees, lie expressed a desire
to begin the undertaking forthwith. A
memorandum setting forth the proposal is
now under consideration by the Shanghai
chamber of commerce and the municipal
council and as 1t is probable that these and
other bodies will support the same, ii is de-
sirable that the diplomatic body seize the
occasion of the new progressive viceroy 3
appointment in Marking to supersede the
protocol by a practical solution of this i'm
portant question.

SENATOR FoRAKER'S VIEWS.
Looks for Passage Of No Bill Reducing
Southern Representation.

dispatch from Cincinnati last night says
United States Senator Foraker, who ar
rived from Washington today, In an inter
view said he did not believe the present
Congress would pass any bill reducing the
representation in Congress of any states.
He said:
II hardly think the bill to reduce con-
gressional representation In the southern
states will be passed In the nature OF
things such a bill will provoke extended
and elaborate debate, and under the cir
cumstances there will not be time enough
to deal with the subject properly. In addi-
ton to the appropriation bills, the Senate
will probably be occupied much of the ses-
sion with the Impeachment Of Judge
Swayne."

Big Output ofGold.

The enarmous output of gold coin
age at the Philadelphia mint contin-
ues at rate which surpasses all pre-
vious records. Since February s, up
to April Is, there has been coined
500, lS0,3 in $40 gold prices. The
coinage during the week beginning
Monday, April IL, and ended on Sat
urday, April rs, inclusive, aggregated
81 ,2O2, 500 in gold, an average OF
nearly $2,000,000 per day. On the
lasJ day of this record breaking week
the coinage was 50, 500, 900, also re-
cord-breaker. The weight OF the
gold to produce this one weeks coin.
age was over forty-two tons. This
vast coinage of gold in so short a
time, 1t was announced at the mint
has never been equalled by the mints
of any other nation, nor by any mint
in this country.

faculty of Queens University, at it's
meeting Thursday night, had before
them a letter from a man in central

and desired to mortgage his body to

no freak and was willing to come to
Kingston to be examined and to sign
d document turning over his body
upon his death, for money consider
alton to be paid Immediately. No
amount was mentioned, the faculty
being asked to make an offer The

THE DEMOCRATS WIN.
ono Man Shot and Killed in an EIeo.
tion Fight.

In an uninteresting general election
the Democrats of Louisiana last week
swept the State, electipg their ticket
headed by Former Justice N. G.
Blanchard for governor and practical
ly solid representation in both hous.
es of the legislature.
Former Mayor j. w. Behan, an ex-
Confederate soldier and prominent SUI
gar planter, headed the opposition
ticket Of Lily White Republicans. The
regular Republicans put no ticket In
the field and practically no negro
votes were cast. The Lily Whites
control the federal offices here and
their contest Wednesday was simply
to maintain their organization.
A comparatively large vote was
polled In New Orleans, giving BlancE-
ard a majority estimated at $4,000,
but there was great apathy in the
State, except in few Of the sugar dis
tricts. Indications point to total
vote Of approximately $4,000, with
Blanchards majority conservatively
estimated at $4,000. In the January
primary the Democrats polled 1900.
Nv SASSViOi WOO PCdCS-
able, the only exception thus far re-
ported being at Gonzales, in Ascen-
sion parish, where Capt. Sam Moore,
a prominent merchant and planter
and leader of the Republicans was in
stantly killed by Deputy Sheriff Ed.
Smith. Moore attempted to post
dodgers containing pictures Of two
negroes holding minor positions under
the Democratic administration. Smith
interferred and shot Moore dead when
the latter attempted to draw wea-
pom.
The legislature elected Wednesday
will choose a United States senator.
Senator Murphy j. Foster, having
been nominated in the primary will
receive practically the solid vote of
both houses. The ticket elected Wed.
nesday follows:
Governor, n. G. Blanchard; lieuten-
ant governor, Jared Y. Sanders;. sec
retary Of state, John T. Michael; at

cation, j. B. Aswel.
