Judge Blackman'S Letter.

The New Orleans States speaks OF
Judge w. +. Blackman's letter,
withdrawing from the race for Con-
gress in the Seventh District, as zone
OF the most interesting political de-
velopments of the day" The States
says that it is looked upon as a slap
to the new primary law under which
it was understood there was to he
forever hereafter in Louisiana pure
primary elections. Continuing the
States snys: Judge Blackman's let
ter will be the subject OF wide discus
sion not only in the Seventh District,
but throughout the State, and his
statement that plans we're being laid
to repeat the corruption of the cleo
torate and the shameful stuffing of
ballot boxes which he says charac-
terized the primary of four years ago
will create profound establishment.
The advocates of the primary have
held that law like that passed at
the last session of the Legislature,
which would apply in the Seventh
District this year, would insure an
absolutely free and fair expression
of the public will; but Judge Black
man and his friends evidently believe
that no law is of any account in the
Seventh district so far as the getting
OF q square deal ia concerned"

Mark Twain defines a gentleman as
"a man who is just, merciful and

The preliminary trial of George and
Joe Atwell and Joe Jordan, charged
with killing J. Wesley Caps, at
Selma on July Sd, was held in Alex
andria last Wednesday, and Sheriff
Swafford carried the prisoners down
that morning. Owing to a number
OF witnesses not appearing, and after
an Investigation of the main State
witnesses, Judge Blackman allowed
them bail in the sum of $500 each,
which the accused promptly gave
and were released.

Judge w. f. Blackman publishes a
card, which will be found in another
place in this issue OF the Chronicle,
in which he says he is not a candidate
for Congress in the approaching pri-
mary election. The Judge credits
Rapides, Avoyelles and Vernon par
ishes with all the virtue there was in
the entire district in the last primary
election, and leaves Grant in the list
of "ballot box stuffing" parishes.
We are glad to see that the Judge re-
pudiates the rascality that was prac-
ticed in Grant two years ago in his
behalf. q

The National Democracy has the

The National Democracy has the
only platform upon which all the La
Dor interests of the country can unite.
and stand and work for the common
good. With the help of these united
interests the Democratic party can
regain the control of the government
which it lost ten years ago. For this
reason the Labor Unionists, Social
lists, and all, if they really want n
voice in the affairs of this govern
ment should cast in their lot with the
Democratic party.
A vote for Socialism, or any other
"ism." only strengthens the strangle-
hold the Republicans have on the
reins of government, and weakens
and discourages the Democracy in
its magnificent fight for humanity.
There has never been, and can never
be, but two great opposing political
parties in any country with constitu-
tional provisions, and all fractional
and factional organizations can only
hope for a modicum of success by
casting in their lot with one or the
other of these parties. Therefore we
are fully persuaded that if Labor
Unionists, Socialists, or Populists,
hope to succeed in any of their efforts
in American politics they must cast
in their strength with the National
Democracy-the grent peoples party.

How to Use a Barometer.

The following rules are those which
are used by the Seawanhaka Corinth-
ian Yacht Club in their very success
full attempt to fosecast the weather
with the aid of the barometer.
A Rising Barometer.-A rapid rise
indicates unsettled weather. A grad
ual rise indicates settled weather. A
rise with dry air and cold air increas-
ing in summer indicates wind from
the northward; and if rain has fallen,
better weather may be expected. A
rise with moist air and low temper
ature indicates wind and rain from
the northward. A rise with souther-
ly winds indicates fine weather.
A Steady Barometer.-With dry air
and seasonable temperature indicates
a continuance of very fine weather.
A Falling Barometer-A rapid fall
indicates stormy weather A rapid
fall with westerly wind indicates stor-
my weather from the northward. A
fall with northerly wind indicates
storm, with rain and hail in summer,
and snow in winter. A lall with in-
creased moisture in the air and heat
increasing indicates wind and rain.

SPIRITED AWAY
Important Witnesses in Chicago Team
sters' Conspiracy Cases Safely
Hidden from Violence.

Chicago, Dec. 16-Fearful of Vio-
lence to the states witnesses in the
teamsters' conspiracy cases on trial
here, attorneys for the prosecution
have smuggled Albert Young, William
and Michael Kelly, Joseph Scultz, and
Michael Murphy out of Chicago and
are supposed to have them in hiding
somewhere in Indiana. The five men
we're among those indicted for conspi-
racy in the teamsters' strike and have
been the prosecutions strongest wit
nesses They have been heavily guard
ed during the trial and have not been
permitted to sleep together, OF twice
in the same place during the trial.
Despite these precautions, hints reach
ed Prosecutor Healy's ears that plot
existed to "do them up" and their
disappearance quickly followed. Five
men answering their descriptions reg
Istered under assumed names in Mich
Igan City, Friday night, but have since
vanished from there. 1t is supposed
that news of their whereabouts leaked
out and that they were spirited away
for safety. Assistant Prosecutor Mil
Ter, who is conducting the case, de-
clares 1t the most important since the
anarchist trial, not only in its revela-
tions of violence, but from the feat
that the state is endeavoring to make
any sympathetic strike a conspiracy.

emulation of wealth savors a little
of the elaborate care of the Middle
Ages. 1t is said to guard it's treasure
even more jealously than the Bank of
England.
Every evening the door of the strong
room is walled up by masons with hy-
draulic mortar. Water is then turned
on until the vaults are flooded, and
the only way to get at the treasures
would~be in diving-suit and with a
large supply of dynamite.
The efficacy of water as a barrier
has been recognized in all times, as,
for instance, in the moat Surrounding
the ancient strongholds of the Middle
Ages; but we are accustomed now to
depend more upon firearms and the
electrical appliances of modern con-
trivance. a. is doubtful, however, if
any of these can excel the water
guard for security, troublesome though
it seems.-Serap Book.

THE MESSAGE
Will BE of Great Interest to the Mem
bers of the Canal Commission,
Says Report.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The members
of the Canal committee of the senate
make no attempt to conceal their deep
interest in the forthcoming message
by President Roosevelt. With mum
ber of important questions before
them coming over from the long ses-
sion they have not considered the
holding of any meetings. The present
isthmian canal commission has been
serving for more than a year without
confirmation. The fact that the nomi,
nations were not again sent in at the
opening of the session has led to the
belief that the president has in con-
temptation some different plan. Some
senators quote him as declaring that
the present size of the commission is
too large and unwieldy. They hint at
an organization Of three members. An,
other subject that has lost interest
with the commission is the inVestiga-
tion begun last session and conduct
ed for several months. 1t was aimed
to develop the actual condition of af-
fairs on the isthmus. 1t is realized
by the members that the presidents
trip of inspection has practically nulli-
fed the results of the Inquiry and
made unnecessary any further investi-
CATION. Many senators in private con
versation express the belief that any
recommendations for lock canal will
be a failure.

cago. Mr.. Mccarthy is head of the
legislative reference department of
Wisconsin, bureau created by him to
secure wise laws. He is to propose
the adoption of his method by the next
Illinois Legislature.
tSuch legislators" he continued,
cannot draw bills to stand the test
of the courts. Every attorney general
and lawyers are incompetent because
they are always looking backwards,
They don't ask: rs this wise leglsla-
tion? but has 1t been so deoided?'
What is needed is a bureau of non
partisan experts to help legislators to
frame laws intelligently, to explain
unconstitutional measures and to look
out for 'jokers.'
"CentTalization of legislation is bad.
We want to make laws as near as pos
sible for the people, to suit their pc
culiar needs. People lose respect for
laws that are knocked out in the
courts and it's mighty dangerous con-
dition. In Wisconsin laws have ceased
TO be laughing stock, and the legis-
lature is no longer a joke"

The N4vy's Handkerchief.

z 1t is not generally known that Mel
sons death was the origin of the
black silk handkerchief which the
sailor wears under his broad blue
collar, tied in loose knot in front.
The scarf, or handkerchief, was first
wornta as mourning for the great ad-
miral, and by some means or other
1t was retained and eventually be-
came part Of the naval mans uni
form. The white stripes around the
broad blue collar are unintelligible
to the average individual, but they
have a very significant meaning. They
represent the victories at the Nile,
Copenhagen and Trafalgar.
