aeronautics in Germany, summed up the gen

Orville Wrlght's latest performance means a
great step forward in flying technique Nobody

feats of the Wright brothers. These long trips
which have Just been accomplished prove that

Bryan and MarstOn.

When Captain Marston seeks to
put the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
out of business he is in good co,npa-
nv. Following is an extract from
speech delivered by Mr.. Bryan in New
York. In discussing gambling in fu-
lures in the exchanges of the coun-
try, he said:
when group Of men gamble at Il
wheel of fortune or ut game oi
cards, the injury done is confined To
them, and to those Immediately de-
pendent upon them, bnt those who
gamble in the pit ar on the floor OF
the stock exchange deal in coInmOdi-
ties or securities in which so, DOC, 900
people ARE directly or indirectly inter
ested. Farm products are juggled
up or juggled down, stocks are boost
Ell by the bulls or depressed by the
bears and the whole country feels the
effect. The natural law of supply
aud demand ought tn regulate prices,
but these laws are entirely suspended
when few men can by their bets add
millions of dollars to the market val
ne of one product or take millions OF
dollars from the value Of another
product. After crusade which con-
vulsed a State and at least impressed
the Thought Of the Nation, We got rid
of the Louisiana Lottery, and then
we congratulate ourselves upon our
virtue. The men in charge Of the lot
terry never did a title of the harm
that the grain gamblers aud the
stock gamblers Of New York do every
day, nor did they ever exercise any
thing like the corrupting influence
over politics. "-Caucasian.

THREATENED LEGISLATION.
The whisky element, which took
such an interest i'm the recent State
primary il known To have secnred
pledges from many Legislative candi-
dates that the ''liquor interests will
he taken care Of" at the coming SEES
sion of the Legislature. In other
words. the ring" crowd has pledged
itself to introduce and endeavor to
pass ut the next session of the gener-
nj assembly a measure or measures
looking to the changing OF existing
statutes so as to render them more
favorable To the liquor crowd.
One bill, in particular, has been
promised as sop to the whisky men
providing for cities of more than ten
thousand Inhabitants being separate
and distinct from the parishes 10
which they are located rs regards
prohibition elections. This will be
introduced. and if possible passed, so
that cities like Lake Charles. Shreye-
port, Baton Rouge and Alexandria
can hold separate elections from their
parishes on the question of licensing
saloons, the whisky element feeling
absolutely sure that by eliminating
the non-corruptihlp rural vote, these
cities will he kept in the wet" column.
1t behooves every friend Of prohibit
ton in Louisiana To use every posi-
hle indueement To secure pledge
from his representative and senator
that they will not support this iniq-
uitous measure, for, just so surely as
it passes, Louisiana will be the last
Southern state to join Georges, Okla
homa, Alabama and Mississippi in
the prohibition column. Not only
this, but, if the bill passes, prohibi
ton will cease to be effective in the
rural districts contiguous TO these
cities.

That the best men in the Order
