A Pleasant Trip.

Hon. Henry MCCALL, president of
the Mccall Bros. Planting and Manu-
featuring Company of this parish,
and collector of customs for the port
of New Orleans, returned to that
city during the early part of the
week after ttending the CEN
tennial celebration of Mount st.
Mary s College, Maryland, at which
institution be was q student when the
semi centennial was commemorated
fifty years ago. The centennial exer-
cises took place on Tuesday and
Wednesday, the 18th and 18th in
slant, ard several other Louisiana ex-
students besides Mr.. Mccall were in at,
tend ance. Master Legendre Mccall, the
collectors youngest son, accompanied
his father on the trip to Mount st.
Mary's, and his ompanionship
made the experience all the more en-
ioyable to Mr.. Mccall, since the son
is now of the same age as was the
father when the latter first entered the
noted college which last week com
pleted eentury's existence. One of the
features of the celebration was paper
by Mr.. Mccall describing his first trip
to Mount st. Mary's and his recol-
lections OF the semi centennial celebra-
ton.

Cherries Calculations.

There is little cheer for Democra ats
of the thoughtful variety in the ealeu-
Iations upon which the authoritative
prognosticators of their party are
basing their claims of the prospective
triumph of Bryan and Kern in the
November election.
1t was announced by an Associated
Press telegram from New York city on
the 18th instant that twice Chairman
Hudspeth of the Democratic national
committee made public today q list OF
the states in which he says Mr.. Bryan
will receive the electoral vote, They
are as follows: The solid south, 1855;
Nebraska, 8; Indiana, Is; Ohio, %;
West Virginia, I; Nevada, 8; New
York, 80; total, 26I; necessary to a
choice, 242.,,'
Without stopping to discuss the ex-
treme improbability OF. several other
of these states being carried by the
Democratic candidate, it is only neces-
sarY TO call attention to the fact that
Ohio is virtually sure to give her fav-
critic son, Judge Taft, a big majority.
Deducting Ohio's % from MIR. Huds-
psth's total, only 23S are left, or four
less than the number requisite to a
choice. On The basis of the Demo-
cratic national committees figures,
therefore, it is apparent that the out
come will be twenty three for you,
Mr.. Bryan
The Brooklyn Citizen publishes a
forecast prepared by reader youehed
pr by that paper as well-known
BUSINESS man in close touch with the
financial world, 'tand gold Democrat
to boot" which gives Bryan a total
of 273 votes and Taft only 30. This
result is reached by placing Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Min
nesota, Montana, Nebraska. Nevada,
New York. West Virginia and Wyo-
ming in the Brs an column along with
Oklahoma and the solid south. The
Citizen by no means indorses the table
of its contributor, and it is not likely
that any well.informed paper in the
country would do so, since Minnesota
is regarded as safely Republican, to
say nothing of Colorado, Connecticut,
Nebraska aud several of the others
included in the Brooklyn mans COM
putation. AS to New York, there is
good reason TO assert that the leading
Democrats of that state, including
Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall, do
not believe that Bryan has any chance
of carrying it; and it will be seen that
the loss of New York alone from the
optimistic Brooklyn Democrats tabu-
lation will transform his predicted VIC
tory into defeat.
There is admittedly no ADLER poll
tician in this country than President
Roosevelt, ard his forecasts of the re-
suits of political contests have always
been remarkably accurate. His opin-
ion is that Taft and Sherman will get
about 500 electoral votes, leaving
about III for Bry an and Kern. Our
betting friends who lay their wagers
for business rather than buncombe will
do well to follow the lines of the
Roose4eltian estimate rather than the
manifestly padded calculations ema-
mating from Democratic sources.

Bartholomew Butler, who has been
operating a moving picture show in
the Gondran theatre for the past sew
eral months, was arrested last Satnr-
day morning by Sheriff E. G. Hanson
at the request of Inspector OF Police
O'Connor OF New Orleans, who adj
yised the local authorities that Mr..
Buhler was wanted ID that city on a
charge OF passing worthless check.
Detective Coyle OF New Orleans ar
rived here Sunday morning and took
charge of Mr.. Butler, returning to
New Orleans with his prisoner Sunday
afternoon. Upon being arraigned IN
the second city criminal court nondas
mosningon acharge OF hts ing money
under false pretenses, Mr.. Buhler en-
tered plea of aot guilty aat was re-
leased on a bond OF $3.50. He returned
TO Donaldsonvtlle Thursday evening.

Buckner on BRYAN.

Gen. Simon B. Buckner OF Ken
lucky, who ran on the Palmer Buck
ner presidential ticket of the sound
money Democracy in 1896, has an
nounced his intention to vote for Taft,
and gives his opinion of Bryan in the
following clearcut language:
s.Bryan is not Democrat, but a
Populist and a Socialist. He took
first one side and then the other in the
matter OF the Brownsville incident.
His theory of the guarantee of ma
tional bank deposits is a vicious one.
IN his tart # views he is more radical
than the Republicans. The Republicans
are pledged to change the Tariff laws.
According to Bryan's platform he can
protect anything he wants and destroy
an Ything he does not like. =

IAN absurd question is what the
New Orleans Daily States character
ICES The Chiefs query as to which
presidential ticket Gov. Sanders would
support, in view of his extreme views
on the subject of excluding the regro
from the right of suffrage and the oren
dickering of MIR. Bryan for the negro
vote. Absurd the question may have
been, but not more absurd than the
homogeneous attitude OF Gov. Sanders
and other rabid white supremacy

stump for the Bry an. Kern ticket. tt

George j. Kelley of Clinton
publican candidate for congressman
from this district, is the largest cul-
tivstor of land in East Feliciana
parish, aud he makes a special appeal
to the farmers for their support. A
native Of New Jersey, he has lived
many years in Louisiana, all OF his
eight children being natives of this
state, and all of his interests are CEN
tered here. He is good citizen, well
thought of by his neignbors, always
alive to the public welfare, and looks
like Bill Taft. This resemblance and
his Republican principles will give
him great influence with the next ma
tional administration and the people
OF the sixth district would be doing a
big thing for themselves by sending
him to congress.

A PerYerse PerYerter.

The esteemed New Orleans Daily
States perversely declines TO make an
open coniession-p roverbially good

Of political history in trying to make
it appear at Gov. Warmoth was IL
large measure accountable fcethe con-
ditions that brought about ths memoir
able clash of arms between the White
League and the Metropolitan police
militian of the kellogg state government
on the 14th of September, 1874,
Notwithstanding the facts that the
trouble occurred nearly two years af-
ter the close of the Warmoth admins
traitor: that Coy. w armoth did every
thing in his power to prevent the ad-
vent Of the Kellogg regime; that he
was the head and front of the Liberal
Republican movement that put forth a
state ticket headed by the late David
son b. Penn for governor; that after
the fusion between tie Democratic ard
Liberal Republican forces Gov. War
moth and George A. Sheridan, Lib
err al Republican leaders and two OF the
most effective public speakers in
Louisiana, stumped the state in be-
hall of the fusion ticket; that Gov.
w armoth rejoiced IN the victory Of
the White League forces and wired
his congratulations to Acting Cover
nor notwithstanding all these
things, which are incontroyertible and
admitted truths of history. the es-
teemed Ststes stubbornly adheres to
its original aecus alton and attempts to
Justify it by the far-fetched deduction
th at the alleged sins of the Warmoth
administration were the primary cause
of the subsequent emeute and the Kel-
lopg administration was only sec
ondarily responsible and culpable.
It is very manifest that our contem-
porary IS peculiar reasoning is founded
solely upon It's political prejudice and
bias, and that it Eliminates against
Gov. Warmoth because he is not only
still a Republican but is the candidate
of his party for congressman from the
first district. His Democratic OPP
ponent, Gen. Albert Estopinal, was
also a Republican and an oficeholder
during reconstruction times. aud SO
was Capt. John Fitzpatrick, now and
for good many years past the chief
of the combination of political leaders
10 New Orleans commonly known as
the ward bosses. 2 Essopinal and
Fitzpatrick have been rewashed In the
waters of the Democratic Jordan, how
ever, and their political sins were
thus expiated. They jumped with the
political cat and are therefore eleansed
from the pollution of afI1liation with
reconstruction Repubiicanism, though |
they elung to it after, Warmoth had
done his best to prevent it's continued |
domidation.

The open air treatment, fresh air and

ranks Peruna as a reliable prophylactic
