The news from the cotton grow
ing sections of the State of Texas
informs us that the Mexican boil
weevil is doing an immense dam
age to the young plants. Not
withstanding this drawback, En-
glish opinion is to the effect that
so large will be Uncle Sans next
cotton crop that it will deter the
growth of cotton in many English
possessions. where its cultivation
is now in it's incipiency. The
State of Texas some time since Of
fered a prize of $4,000 for any
discovery that would destroy the
boil weevil. Hon. B. F. Marston,
of Red River parish, was the first
to compete for the prize by urging
the use of paris green. Now, in
Guatemala, it seems there is a
peculiar kind of ant, which is
death to the boil weevils and their
introduction is now being made.
The Guatemalan ant is said to be
~ermless in everything else, con-
tro,v 20 the fears of not a few that
tha rsme, would prove worse
than t the disease IS has been the e
case with the English sp> io" anu :,
other such pests which have c.. ~

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
STANDARD BEARERS.

The National Democratic Con-
vention held at St. Louis last week
was the most memorable gather
ing of its kind perhaps ever wit
messed in this great common
weelsh. To no other cause can
be ascribed the feverish interest
manifested in its deliberations by
the people than to the fact that
the Republic al nomination and
election of the present impetuous
and impe rialistic occupant of the
White House would be a serious
menace to the varied interests and
tranquility of the country.
In the nomination OF its standard
bearers it was necessary that the
Democratic convention should
put forth its ablest and purest
men, on q patriotic and unassail-
able platform covering every i'm
portant public question.
The nomination of Judge Alton
B. Parker, chief justice of the New
York Supreme Court, for the
Presidency, and Hon. Henry G.
Davis, of West Virginia, for the
Vice-Presidency, are two seltc-
tions the Democrats of the country
may justly exult over.
In the drafting of the platform.
Mr.. Bryan had very large share
and it was non-committai on the
money issue, which, under his
leadership, twice caused the party
to suffer defeat. It is to the credit
and courage of the peerless DEM
ocratic nominee to say that he
promptly objected 10 any reticence
on that point and, at his earnest
solicitation, the party is now
pledged to the gold standard in
financial matters. Bryan and his
followers seem to have gracefully
and loyally submitted to the in
eyitable and all the former lead
ars and divergent elements of the
Democracy are now solidly united
in support of the ticket and indi-
cations point strongly to the de.
Seat of the Republican party and
it's dfctatorial master in the No.
yemb>r election.
We sin cercly hope that Parker
and Davis WI be elected for the
future peace am welfare OF the
people, who have ."ao eDougn
Of the erratic end fervid nhgoist
who now occupies the " '''e
House, whose continued constitu-
tional violations will bring on in
ternal disorder and whose pranks
and CITATIONS with foreign countries
will yet inveigle us in some Sc
fious complication or other.
The plain and patriotic duty of
every American citizen is to pre-
pare to cast his vote for Parker
and Davis in November next.

When Marshall Jewell was min

using mis- nose, the secret OF MAX

using tallow and grease in dress

Jewell found the compound in il

An incident to mar the close Of
the late General Assembly was
the refusal of Senator Dymond, OF
Plaquemines, to concur IN vote
of thanks to observation-disclosures
J. Y. Sanders, on the ground that
that gentleman and State official
had been "unfair and unkind." "
In this, the native parish OF the

ro pEnlcE SOUTHERN CGNI2E5
S,ONAL REPRESENTATION.

The recent Republican conVeh-
tion which nominated the lrrepres-
chile Roosevelt formulated plat
form plittering with the vague
generalities with which that party
Of subterfuges is famous, out sig
niticantly Incorporated planh
leading to the conviction that
another "force bill" campaign Will
be waged against the South IN tne
event of that party's success at the
polls in November. j.
We regard the imbedding OF
snch a declaration in the Republl-
can platform as nothing more, lot
the time being, as an effort 10
stimulate the negro vote, not SO
much of the south, but III those
doubtful Middle or Eastern STATES
in order that they may be cap
tured by the standard-bearers OF
The G. o. p. 1t is doubtful that
even such an incentive will bring
out a negro vote to amount 70
hill Of beans in those Southern
States where laws have been
enacted disfranchising the litter
ate and the vicious which neces-
sarily affect the negro element the
most and it is upon the extremely
poor showing that will be made
on the basis of their great num-
bers-that the statutes OF THESE
States will be called in question,
that they will be ruthlessly hauled
M before the United States Su-
preme Court and their Congres-
slonal representation cut down oy
act Of Congress upon the tenor or
the court decisions. Granting
that all this will come to pass,
the evident object of the Republl-
can managers does not seem to De
SO much to restore the negro his
right of suffrage in the States
" here his ignorance and unfitness
has disfranchised him, but a ma
licious desire to aim thrust al
the political strength Of the Solld
South, while not even from the
most rabid abolitionist or Repub-
lican could it be denied that the
South has grown wonderfully OF
late years in agricultural, indus
trial and commercial lines. With
a covert plan Of such a despicable
political character in their plat
form, the success of the Republi J.
can party and the subsequent car
rying out OF this nefarlous ma
cAination will engender the great
est ILL., feeling between the sections
| aud the policy OF retaliation on
the part Of southern statesmen,
from which acrimonious sectional
differences we hoped the country
had emerged as a result OF the
civil war.
The various Southern States, in
qualifying the right of suffrage
never intended as far as We are
aware, to eliminate the negro cx'
clusively. Very many intelligent
negroes and Republicans in the
State are in no sense deDarred
from voting to-day under these
laws. There are to be found great
numbers of white men, we dare
say, who through ignorance, are
likewise debarred.
Therefore, where is the discrlm-
ination, or where is there any
circumvention of the famous wal
amendments of the Federal Con-
stitution? Every State has an in.
alienable right to protect itself
against evils within its own Dor.
ders. The right Of Federal inter
ference as projected by the Re.
Iu ublican party for the sake Of fu-
ture quiet and good feeling ought
to be sufficient reason to bring
about it's defeat and humiliation
