BOLIVIAN INDIANS.
The Majority Are Semi intoxicated
From the Cradle to the Grave.

From the Cradle to the Grave.
The Indian women OF Bolivia are
usually superior to their lords in actual
intelligence; also in age. as rule.
They earn the larger share of their
mutual living and take the lead in
most things.
As recognized head of the house the
Bolivian Indian wife is much more
likely to thrash her comparatively
timid spouse than he is to i'll use her.
In the markets. when produce has to
be disposed Of, she can drive a far bet
ter bargain than he could; she can car
ry as heavy burdens. endure as much
privation and physical toll, labor, chew
as much coca and drink as much
strong drink.
Little OF no money passes among the
Bolivian Indians. their mediums Of
exchange be ing whatever they may
raise or the labor of their hands. They
will eat when not hungry. drink when
not thirsty, sleep when not sleepy, any
where and any time when opportunity
offers. against the time of need" as
they say. The majority are in state
of semi-intoXication from babyhOOd to

A rival to the celebrated Mrs. Mala-
prop is to be found in a certain New
York street car conductor. The other
day a party Of several women boarded
his car. They were not able to find
seats together and two sat on the op-
posite side from the others. The wo-
man who paid the fares for the group
offered the conductor a half dollar.
neglecting to mention how many fares
were to be taken from it.
You're paying for these four here"
he said. indicating those who sat in
line with her of the purse, "and," wav-
ing his hand in the direction of the
two on the opposite side, "are those

The Result Of the Recent Judicial
Contest.

met at noon on Saturday last an,
unanimously declared Mr.. Chas
A. O'Niell the nominee for Judg'
and Mr.. Thomas M. Milling tn,
nominee for District Attorney
The result of our recent judicia
contest is too we'll known to neec
very elaborate comment. At the
outset we might say that, not in.
tending to at all belittle the worth
or ability of any one, we fee
deeply disappointed over the re-
suit of the contest for the Judge.
ship, for the reason that the
candidate of our choice was a man
of vast experience who deserved q
triumphant success at the polls.
As to his successful opponent, Mr..
O'Niell, we have none other but
kindly feelings and beg to con-
graduate him, and it is our wish
that he will, as district Judge,
come up to all the requirements
of the responsible position and
the most sangu;ne expectations
of his political supporters. How
ever, our cause was partially sue
cessful in the election of Mr.. Mil
ling for district attorney, and this
gentleman is extended our warm
est congratulations. He will, in
our opinion, make an ideal dis
trict attorney, and will cause evil
doors to give our parish a wide
berth. Judge Allen has made
one of the best Jurists in the State,
as his record most abundantly
proves, and has the distinction Of
being longer continuously on the
bench than any other jurist in the
State. Throughout his long Of
fetal career-entering the Office
in April, 1885, period of twenty
two and q half years-he retires
therefrom with not q single blot
on his ermine, with not a throb of
wrong-doiDg to mar his retire.
ment. His defeat, we take it,
does not mean q wane of popu-
larity nor rebuke to his conduct
OF the Office, but is simply one OF
those inexplicable caprices which
seem to sometimes possess the
voting classes of a community to |
dispense with true and faithful
public servants on the grounds of
political expediency. The argu-
ment of long tenure in Office is un-
answerable with the rank and file
OF the Democratic voters of today,
and there is no doubt but that
this argument had its full weight
IN the campaign, and encompass
I'd the defeat of Judge Allen; but,
while this argument is true as
general thing, at the same time it
is also true that certain Offices re.
quire long tenure to render their
incumbents thoroughly familiar
and efficient, and this fact was en-
tirely lost sight of by the WELL
meaning voters. Judge Allen will
cave the bench in December nextt
md will return to the practice of
,is profession. Liked and es.
eemed by all classes of our peo-
pie, an able lawyer and a polished :
gentleman, we feel thoroughly
confident that in a very short time {
'e will be in the enjoyment of a I
practice largely Iucrative-as a
eeble reward on the part of his 8
ellow-pariehioners for his long i
nd faithful public service. a
