GALLERY"

y popular amusement, these
modern times, il a shooting gall
iery. AS general thing, they are
usually to be found at public pla ces
Of amusement. Occasionally, they
are run in connection with street
fairs. The street fair which left
us few days ago had one, and
anyone who paid the necessary
fee was at liberty to walk up and
take a shot at the bell. The city
OF Franklin has. for year or more
past. had the distinction Of having
one Of these delightful sources Of
amusement located within her
corporate limits. This particular
gallery, however, is not open to
til general public As We are
not in the confidence OF the man
agement, We are not prepared to
say whether or not there is any
fee attached to the privilege of
shooting. Not unlike the balance
Of the common people, our po-
-itinn has been that of spectator.
Though we have not had the
pleasure Of seeing the marksmen
in the act Of taking aim. we have
nevertheless, enjoyed, thoroughly,
watching the course Of the "dead-
ly' charges, and our amusement
at the poor "Record" made in
their efforts to ring the bell, has
been genuine and great.
We refer, OF course, to the St.
Mary Record. This paper is
owned by Gallery and Martl, and
owes it's life to the fortune Of which
these gentlemen became suddenly
possessed on the Jennings oil
fields several years lack. 1t is
not a difficult matter to determine
who are the proprietOrs Of this
" eighty moulder Of public opin-
ion, but, when it comes to singing
out the marksmen who have been
taking random shots at the entire
Sanders faction for many months
past, we pass" The latest effort
Of the "Record Sharpshooters' to
ring the bell, appeared in last
weeks issue and is entitled 1.-THE
oheritf's Scrap, and that each
and every shot Of the entire volley
missed it, mark entirely, We pro-
pose to show our readers.
To begin with, we are not aware
that the race for the important Of

has sunk to the level of a ''scrap."
From our point of view, the race

Next we come to Mr.. Don Cafferv

Us That he mas never ceased to be a

whether he was Democrat. Re.
publican. Populist or Socialist. he
entered into combination with
the Republican party for the pur.
pose OF defeating the regular
Democratic nominee. Had Mr..
Caliery and his associates on his
ticket been successful in thai

have been a party to the over.

think his place is in the front

The public should weigh these
facts we'll before casting their
ballots and we have no fear of the
result.

in all the political strife in this
State, in all of the battles OF
Democracy when the party citadel
was threatened by the lottery
company, by Pharr and by Caffery.
Sanders stood like a Saul Of

and ability, courage and dash.
He never faltered: his magnificent
manhood and superb ability were
always at the service of his party,
and the party used them.
1t favors Jared Sanders because

FACTS TO CONSIDER.

Before another issue Of the
BANNER appears. the Democrats of
this great commonwealth will have
selected their standard bearer for
TIL coming figat with their old
foe. the Republican Party, We
feel absolutely confident that the
Hon. J. y. Sanders will receive a
tremendous majority OF the votes
cast on Tuesday next. out. it
matters not whom the people
select, the next issue Of the BAN
NER will come out in support of the
victor.
We have upon many occasions
referred to the bitter, unfair, fight
made upon Hon. j. \. Sanders.
With the details of the awful,
hideous, malicious methods pursu-
ed by some of Mr.. Sanders OPP
ponents the public is familiar. At
this late hour we do not consider
it necessary to review them,
especially as their only effect has
been to make friends for Mr.. San
ders.
There are enc or two points up
on which we wish to dwell briefly
before closing our columns forever
upon this campaign.
One fact in particular t. which
we wish to call attention is that.
SO far as MIR. Wilkinson is CONF
cerned, this has been a campaign
without an issue. Though he
promised solemnly to do SO, he
has never given out any pledge
over his own signature to do one
single thing for the people in the
event he is elected. His whole
campaign has been devoted 10
abuse of Governor Sanders and
ridicule Of his published PLATFORM
He has advanced no ideas OF tbs
own save and except that il would
be poor policy for the State OF
Louisiana to pay her debts. Evil
IDENTITY it is not his purpose to take
the people into his confidence. Are
the people going to place him IN
a position to look them In the lace
and say: 81 have made you no
promises. | will run the State OF
Louisiana as | - please. What
are you going to do about it? y.
Another thing we wish to say Is,
before casting their ballots. those
of the good Democrats OF this
State and of this Parish in par
ticular who nave made up their
minds not to vote for Mr.. Sanders
would do we'll to ask them selves
whether or not some OF Mr.. y H.
kinson's orators who have toured
the State in his support, have
always had the best interests Oh
the Democratic Party at heart, and I
whether or not they are doing the
party an injustice by permitting
these men 70 influence them. Al /

ORCHESTRA
Popular Minneapolis Musical Organi
cation TO Assist May Festival

The Minneapolis symphony Orchcs-
ira, iucomparably the finest body Of
musicians west of Chicago, has been
in existence about six years, in which
time it has reached, under the lead
ership Of Emil Oberhoffer, an cnviable
and unasSailable position among the
symphony orChcstras Of this country.
There is hardly IA well known or
Chcstra in either Europe or America
which has not contributed to the pres
cnt splendid and artistic personnel Of
the Minneapolis symphony Orchestra.
Neither is there a famous orchestral
conductor in the world under whose
not played. All the important instru-
mcntS of the orchestra are in the
hands of soloists; artists to whom
the musical literature of their instru-
ment is Familiarity known. 1t is cS-
sential that each musician of an or
chestra shall be a capable artist, in
tatlOnS oil the masterpiece OF musical
literature, as that the units Of II
structure shall be sound and perfect
t produce a sound and perfect whole.
This essential, recognized from the
first by the conductor and supporters
OF the Minneapolis Symphony Orch
estra, resulted in the liberal policy
that has placed the orchestra at the
head of western musical organizations.
This popular orchestra is supported
in part by the loyal citizens of Mime
apolis, who gladly subscribe an an
nual guaranty fund of thirty thousand
dollars for its maintenance, and in
part by its receipts from its series of
symphony and popular concerts, given
in the auditorium Of that city, the ca
pacity of which, is nearly three thouS-
and persons is often insufficient to
supply the demand for seats.
