LOS ANGELES, Sept. 90
Promoter McCarey has made his
last plea for the fight game in Los
Angeles and today he is awaiting
with trepidation the action of the
city council on the proposed anti
boxing ordinance, which, if passed
as 1t stands. will leave McCarey
and his pugilistic dependents out
in the cold.
The ordinance under discussion
provides for the use of eight
ounce gloves and that prizes shall
not exceed $35 in value. Amateur
contests must be limited to four
rounds.

Fancy Stunts to be Eliminated.

Adjutant General Stafford has
issued an order setting the date
for the annual encampment of the
Louisiana militia at Alexandria
July 10th to 18th, which lasts only
eight days this year instead of ten
as heretofore. The adjutant gen.
eral says that dress parades, sham
battles and fancy reviews will bt
eliminated and the entire time de-
voted to practical drills.
General Stafford says that the
railroads will be requested to make
better schedules so that the men,
bers of the militia will be able to
leave their homes at daylight on
Sunday, July 10th. Colonel JAS.
L. Wright, United States disburs-
ing officer, will be on duty from
June LIST. Lieutenant G r. Chur-
chill will be camp adjutant; Col.
L. A. Tombs will be camp inspect
or; DIR. Arthur Nolte, camp sur
geon. and Capt. Fl. F. Vuliiamy
will be camp commissary.
Now let Gen. Stafford look lit
tie after the boys as they go Oh
their way to and from the encamp-
ment, and see if he can not de-
something to relieve those CON-
munities who have been annoyed
by outrageous acts of hoodlumism
by the soldier gentry as they pass
ed through. Two coloied men
were shot with wax or tallow from
the rifles of the soldiers two years
ago as they passed through Grant
parish. In one of these cases We
are told the colored man was badly
wounded by the wad which struck
him, which bruised a place as big
as a saucer, and the place after
ward suppurated and made a run
ming sore from which the man did
not get we'll for three or four
months. These Sunday soldiers
set themselves up for gentlemen,
and they should be required to de-
port themselves as such when go
ing to and from the places where
they report for duty.

NEW CAMP COLONIES.

The certainty of camp colony at
Hot Springs has appeared since the
building of the Daniel Boone cabin
last summer, log cabin used as q
teahouse and formally opened few
days ago. The teahouse is facsimile
OF the birthplace of Daniel Boone,
and with its rustic appearance is q
contrast to the Homestead hotel. To
build such cabins as these for camp
ing places, corporation has been
formed and will put up camps in the
vicinity of Homestead for the use Of
visitors who wish to mix the formal
and the informal by living in such
primitive abodes and using the ac-
commodations of the hotel, the baths,
golf links, tennis courts and liveries.

The Parallel Totally Lacking in Point.

A would-be critic essays the
deadly parallel with couple of
editorial squibs appearing in this
paper, and does violence to logic
and the Kings English in the at
tempt to show inconsistency in
our position on two different mat
tbs. The Chronicle would sure
enough be Inconsistent" were it
to favor anything that will forward
the interest of the court house re-
movalists. And by the same token
we certainly would be "inconsis-
tent" # we opposed submission To-
the people of special tax for good
roads, in view of the fact that
Grant parish is on record as de-
cidedly favoring that proposition.
Ii is simply question of taking
position on two entirely different
questions, and by no parallel can
tins be tortured into inconsistency.
We are perfectly willing for the
people of the parish to be judges
in this matter without controversy.

RELICS OF DAYS LONG GONE
Unearthed at TintageI, Corn
wall, England.

In the vicinity of King Arthur's
castle, at Tintagel, Cornwall, there
has been unearthed an ancient
armory, or manufacturing place, of
flint instruments used in the stone
age, says the London Standard.
The relics, which are at least 4 900
years old, were plowed up, and in
clude large number of flint arrow
heads and chips.
Near by are a rromlech and hut
circle, also of prehistoric date.
All the flints discovered show
signs of working, and the find would
appear to indicate that long before
the erection of King Arthur's castle
the rugged cliffs of Tintagel we're a
stronghold of the ancient inhabitants
of Cornwall.

Then and Now.

The good old times often talked
about when we were boys are a de-
fusion and a snare, aud most of
those who dwell upon that period
OF life are merely joking and pass
ing the time away. An exchange
very truthfully says:
"Now days when Johnnie is bad
at school the teacher takes out her
book and gives him black mark.
Next day Johnnie is worse than ev-
er. Fifty years ago when Johnnie
was bad at school the teacher took
down dogwood sprout, made
about two dozen black marks
across his back; and Johnnie never
repeated the offense. Fifty years
ago Johnnie got up at daylight,
started the fires, fed the horses,
MIXED dozen long-horned COWS,
that gave barely enough milk to
go in the coffee. chopped and
brought in enough wood to last
mother all day, ate a hearty break
fast and walked FIVE miles to school.
To-day Johnnie don't get up at all
unless he is forced to do SO, eats
little or no breakfast, goes out be-
hind the barn to smoke a cigar
cite, aud il the school house is
over two blocks away he grunts
about the long distance he has to
walk, The Johnnie of fifty years
ago is now a hale and hearty man.
Fifty years from now the Johnnie
of to-day will be dead and buried"

The Louisiana Assembly Visits Wash
ingtOn City.

The most sensational presenta-
ton that has yet appeared before
Congress, was the visit last week
Of the Louisiana General Assembly
to Washington, in the role of boom.
ers for the Panama Exposition to
be- held in the city of New Orleans
IN 1915. The Legislature adjourn
ed Tuesday evening, and over 80
per cent of the members, headed
by Gov. Sanders, Mayor Behrman
and others, went on the trip, the
expenses of which were paid by
the Exposition committee, without
any cost to the State, further than
the loss of FIVE days time consum-
ed by the members on the trip.
The spectacular interest shown
by Louisiana in this big demonstra-
ton not only made a profound i'm
preston with Congress, but it has
developed most favorable interest
all over the country in the gallant
fight being made for the Crescent
City as the logical point for the
exposition. The very able, ready
and forceful presentation of the
case by Gov. Sanders and his CO.
adjutors is thought to have clinch-
ed the argument in Louisiana's ia
vor, and if we win this magnificent
prize it may be set down as the re-
suit of this splendid exhibition of
vigorous enterprise. California
was almost the admitted winner
before the appearance of our BOOM
ers, but since they made their adj
vent the general verdict is that
Louisiana has won out.

The Outlook for Democratic Success.
The outlook for Democratic sue

Inc OUTLOOK IOr DemOCIotiC ouCCeoS.
The outlook for Democratic sue
cess in the approaching presiden-
tial election is regarded by lead
ers of the party to be more prom
ising than it has been for forty
years. The people of the country
are better educated in political
conditions than they were even in
the days of Cleveland, the only
Democratic President that has
broken the extravaganza rule of the
Republican party in fifty years.
The masses understand that the
Republican party is responsible
for all conditions that now prevail,
and virtually all that have pre-
vailed throughout many years.
About all that President Cleveland
ever did was to interrupt vicious
Republican legislation by his veto
power. He is on record as having
vetoed more laws passed by Con-
gress than all the Presidents put
together from Washington dO,cn
to- President Taft.
Mr.. Cleveland never had a Dem
ocratic Congress to sustain his adj
ministration, but was thwarted and
opposed at all times by the Re-
publican Congress, which. ever
fought him in his endeavor to pro-
tect the masses against the classes.
1t was only by the utmost daring
and answering firmness that
Mr.. Cleveland ever put in force
any measures Of his own approval,
and because he was not able to
succeed as he desired some Dem
ocrats have been SO uncharitable
as to execrate his memory, and so
unfair as to repudiate his admin
istration. The history of his grand
fight now overshadows his de-
tractors.
AS it was in the days of Cleve--
land, SO it is now, the Republican
party is bending all of its energies
to benefit protected industries"
and Republican Presidents have
confirmed and enforced all their
efforts in that direction. The late
Investigations into the cost of
"high living" have firmly settled
our Democratic Congressman in
their decision that the Republican
party is directly responsible for
the advance of prices, which has
been accomplished by Legislation
in the interest of the trusts.
In each succeeding campaign
the Democratic party has met de-
feat because its strength has been
wasted and frittered away in the
dozens of side issues that have
Slapped its power. These side is
sues, (going under the guise of
independent political parties, are
the most powerful factors that sup
port the Republican party, out
side of the members of its own pro-
tected trusts. The Peoples party,
Socialists, Goldbugs, Silverites,
etc., have all served their day and
time to defeat the Democratic par
ty, but, like all the factions that
have split off from it in its history
for the last hundred and forty
years, they now see the error of
their way, and the chances now
seem more propitious for return
of these dissatisfied elements of
strength to the Democratic ranks.
The public announcement of Pop
ulist Tom Watson in the last few
days, that he has returned to the
Democratic fold, is one of the
marked indications of this trend
of political sentiment.
