quietly. "We're OH guard tonight"
NJ And together they paced to and fro
on the hillside, listening to the yells
OF drunken men up the street and to
distant gunshots as the storm of battle
swept away to the south Of them. By
midnight all was silent. The sherin's
forces were either repulsed or cap

way to reach it,
A wilder yell arose. The leaders be-
gan to run down the street which led
to the south. Ann took hold of Ray
mond's arm with nervous clutch.
"What are they going to do?'
Its hard to tell. I wish we were
safely out Of this"
"Can't we run?'
"Run! Dear girl, you couldn't walk
four blocks in this altitude. II you will
come with me we will cross to the barn
and get our carriage there"
Unconsciously clinging to his arm,
Ann went down the back street as In q
dream.
They were already too late. The
cross street was packed with men, and,
looking down the hill, they saw the
sheriff and his posse coming six abreast
like a squad Of cavalry, riding slowly
up between the walls of stern and
silent citizens Of the great camp. Each
deputy carried d rife across the POM
mel Of his saddle, and at their head,
preceding even the sheriff, rode Mat
thew Kelly. His head was bare, and
in his hand a long revolver cleaned.
There was something In his face. in the
lift of his head, that awed men. As he
came he called out, not loudly, but
every word could be heard:
"Aisy now, boys! Respect the law.
Aisy, say! This Is no fight Of yours.
Down with your guns. There are wo-
men and children to think of. Kape the
peace"
Raymond looked at Ann with eyes
whose light amazed her. by the Lord,

through his set teeth.
"Go! she said. do not mind me.
Go help him."
Her voice recalled him.

meant more than any word he had ever
dared to speak to her.
In the square Kelly halted, and the
sheriff, throwing up his hand, COM

went up.
Kelly raised his hand. "Boys, hear
me! This Is the sheriff, the properly
constituted authority Of this county.
Be quiet, now, and listen to reason"
The sheriff, gaining courage, took up
the theme. X have no war with

"Well, go get them," repeated man
in the crowd. "What are you doing

and you can't do it."

impulse, closed round the sheriff and

body Of deputies. This movement
opened way Of escape, and, expect
ing each moment to hear the crackle

the street and into the musty waiting

When Raymond returned for Ann,

Again Ann stood alone in the door

IlduU.
If we are to build up and main
tain a strong, clean party COM
handing the confidence of the
people we can only do so by keep
ing our elections pure. The only
way to insure honest elections is
to punish dishonesty without
mercy wherever it develops, and
without regard to whom it may
be who commits fraud. There
were times in our history when
the safety of our government re
quired that clean and strong men
should wink at dishonest prac
tees, for a powerful negro ele-
ment to contend against the prin-
ciple of fighting the devil with
fire" was forced upon us.
But that time has happily
passed away and now our party
contests are strictly between
white men, white Democrats.
Fraud is therefore wholly mex
cusable and entirely unworthy of
a proud and free people. We
have moved out from the evil en-
virOnmentS that obtained up to
the time when the Constitution
of 1898 placed the ballot practi-
cally in the hands of the white
men alone, and we can no more
think of keeping up the old prac-
tees in conducting elections now
than we can think of admitting
the mass of the negroes into the
electorate.
Fraud and a venal negro cleo
torate which brought it into be-
ing must be relegated to the past
together, and a powerful white
electorate must move out into the
sunlight of a better day and
stand upon a platform Of absolute
honesty and purity. In a gov
eminent free and controlled by
the people there is no room for
the election trickster, and all
honest men should see that such
are placed beyond the pale of re-
cognition and liberation. There
fore wherever fraud is charged
with any reasonable evidence to
support it, the courts should take
the matter up and institute a
thorough and searching investi'
CATION into the facts with a view
to reaching the truth rather than
COR the purpose of shielding any
guilty person or of discriminating
any who may be innocent.
The facts are what should be
brought out. and in all cases
where fraud is established those
responsible for it ought to be
given the utmost penalty of the
law. The time has passed when
the government of the State can
be controlled and the will of the
people nulified by an o~llEarchy If

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND.
MENTS.

We publish elsewhere the pro-
posed amendments of the con-
stitution in the form and order
that they will appear upon the
ballot to be voted on Tuesday,
Nov. 6. Of the amendments
only numbers three, eight, nine
and twelve have met with any
opposition.
Number three has been op-
posed because the present salary
of $4,000 is considered enough.
1t is endorsed because the in
creased business of the Office
has increased the expense, so
that unless an able lawyer, and
the Office should command the
best legal talent, is animated by
a desire for the honor, he can
hardly afford to accept it.
Number eight is opposed by
some on the score of expense.
1t is endorsed by practically
every lawyer in the State, be-
cause the court of appeals as
now constituted of district
judges has proven a failure, and
the man of small means is en-
titled to a court of appeals that
will give prompt>attention to his
cause.
The objection to number nine
is that it is not just to paw all
district judges the same amount
because of the difference in the
work imposed upon the Office in
the various districts, in some
being heavy and in others light.
The objection looks plausible.
and yet to actually apportion the
salary to the work, to grade each
district as it were, would prove
an endless task; for the work of
districts vary continually.
The idea is to definitely fix the
compensation for tire office and
while some few may be paid too
little and others too much, vet
it will average up all right with
time. Besides. it cuts out pid-
ding with details as to how
much one judge or another has
to do to earn his salary-and
being spared that is worth some.

with a view to ascertain definite
ly whether they are true or false,
and of bringing the perpetrators
to justice if the charges are found
true. The Catahoula Grand Jury,
a few days since, reported to
the court probability of crooked
ness having been practiced in that
parish. In the Seventh Con-
g~ressional District Col. Hudson,
one of the candidates for Equal
ger of Assessments, filed a con-
test with the committee. charg-
ing frauds at certain polls, and
the committee sustained the
charge by throwing out certain
votes, though not enough to
change the result.
Mr.. HudsOn's charges of fraud
were met by counter charges of
the same character against GER,
tain election officers at polls chat
had been carried by MI. Hudson,
but the committee was indisposed
to enter into a general investiga-
ton. the witnesses in several
cases not being present and the
committee considering the time
too short to enable it to conduct
a thorough inquisition. These
things are most unfortunate. for
there can be no excuse for fraud
in a contest between white men
and Democrats.
The old convention method was
done away with because of the
supposed opportunities that it
offered for defeating the will of
the people, but the same result
is obtained when frauds are per.
mitted in the primaries. If by
the substitution of the direct pri-
mary method of making nomina.

one method of defeating the pop,

doing the same thing, we have
indeed made a sorry change, and

expression goes. All these
charges ought to be probed thor.
oughly, and if frauds have been
committed those who are respon.
sible for them ought to be dealt
with by the courts with a firm

LAND LAWS
EXHAUSTIVE REVIEW OF THE
SUBJECT eY THE pRESi-

Washington, Dec. 26.-Tn a message
sent to congress on the land laws, the
president says:
THE developments of the past year

adapt them to the actual situation.
The timber and stone acts has DEM

enormous harm, it is no longer needed
and it should be repealed.

assist the honest settler, and doubt
