If YOU will follow mink's track
in the SNOW any winter day it will
usually lead YOU before long, saws n
writer Country Life in America. to the
mute story of tragedy just some
trampled snow and red stain The
whole method of the mink's hunting
is told by the snow. We see how it
follows a rabbit. taking every precau-
tion not to botray their presence while
the wretched creature feeds, for then
it is alert; how it follows bunny to
where it sleeps beneath log. an up
turned root on the snow covered top of
a fallen tree. and then stealthily
creers on the unsuspecting prey. How
sometimes the rustling of dead leaf
warns the rabbit, who leaps forward
perhaps just in time to avoid the fur
ious onslaught of the mink, though
more often too late. and the red stain
tells us that the rabbit has been eaten
where it expected to sleep Elk.

Horrible news comes of the destruc-
ton of twelve or fifteen non union
pendence near Cripple Creek, Colorado.
a large quantity of dynamite was set
off under the depot just before the
miners were to board the train for
their homes after quitting work. There
is no doubt that union miner COM
mitted the crime. 1t appears that the
Federation of miners had ordered a
strike in the mines because they want
ed to cut off the supply of ore to GER
tain smelters that refused to concede
an eight hour working day at current
wages to the men at work in the
smelters. The mine owners replaced
the striking miners with non union
labor, and great ill-feeling has result
eu UNFORTUNATELY the CONSTITUTION
Of Colorado does not permit the death
penalty for crime, and hence some of
the most horrible crimes imaginable
are committed in Colorado, the Grim
inals counting on escape from the pen
itentiary or pardon after a few years
OF easy confinement In the present
case it is quite likely that the crimi-
nal will escape any sort OF punishment,
but it is certain that wholesale lynch
ings will follow failure to punish
for sucll crimes. --Rayne Tribune.

to him, and for every negro vote
Roosevelt gains in Northern State
he will lose ten white votes there. and

ject the restoration of the public print

tion, it really serves no better pur-
pose-or would. if il should become
law than to give to police juries
still more power than they have at
present TO punish their newspaper
enemies and reward their newspaper
friends, without proper regard or con
sideration for the public service.
As the Lake Charles American very
aptly avs in this connection, buving
advertising in newspaper is not like
buying potatoes, one hushel being
practically the same as another; nor
is payment for public printing in the
nature of q fee, the services 10 earn

cessive price for the Ninton Herald.
for instance, might be just right for

Mr.. Toomer certainly has intellig-
ence enough to perceive this, but his
bill makes no allowance for it. The
police juries have heretofore had the
of selecting the weakest and
most no-account paper in their baili
" icks to do the parish printing the
effect of Mr. Toners bill will be to
make such n selection peremptory. |
Is it desirable to let the taxpayers OF |
the parish know what their officials |
are doing, how the money is being
spent and what work is being ordered |
If it is. why does Mr.. Toomer desire to |
put the statement before as few readers
as possible? If it is not. why not |
abolish public printing altogether -

If the Legislature considers and acts
lpon the Toomer proposition from d
business standpoint and with only the
public interests in view, the measure
will meet the fate it very richly de-
erves and its failure to pass will, per-
laps, teach Mr. Toomer and many

THE THROW-DOWN OF TIL!
SOUTHERN WHITE REpUB-
LICANS AT CHICAGO.

The iridescent hope. too unsuhstan
tial to be classed even as dream, OF
a white Republican Party in this State
has vanished into thin air
The leopard cannot change his spots,
and the Republican Party, like Eph-
rain. who was joined TO his idols,
still lovingly clings to the descendants
of Ham, as if where they were not the
Republican Party would necessarily
cease to be
There is natural affinity between
the Republican Party and the negro,
which our white Supremacists"
failed to consider.
The negro was the cause of its very
being. and, therefore. how could he
be denied front seat in the pantheon
of their household gods
How could the cause of its existence
be relegated to the rear, particularly
where that cause has large vote in
New York. Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
The spectacle of the meeting of the
present Republican National Commit
tee had its element of humor, but it
had one phase SO pitiable, 50 grim as
to bring the blush of shame to Cauca-
sian cheeks.
Upon the one side were largely the
dignity, the culture, the refinement Of
the Caucasian civilization of the Re

other side, the negro contingent. led
