Reckless Speed.

Governor Hughes said at dinner
in Albany of piece of legislation he
disliked:
''They are putting this piece of legis-
lation through with reckless speed.
They remind me of Peter Simpson.
Peter lived on the eighth story of a
tenement. Having arranged TO move

belongings down the eight flights and
then up eight flights wns too slow inG
tedious a process for him. He. by the

pans, stools. pictures, chairs and even
small table.

A Butterfly Cloak.

An exceptionally full. graceful aud.
what is welcome to the home dress
maker, easily designed evening cloak
Is of silk. which In its supple folds
over the shoulders resembles the
wings of butterfly.
When the arms are held straight out
from the sides the mantle shows up
per winged shapes over the arms.
while the cape-like lower portion Is
divided at the back In wing-like Sec
tions. Embroidery in beads ard silk is
used in immense disks on front, back
and sleeves.
The whole effect is of a gorgeous
butterfly which is at rest when the
arms are down and attractively on the
wing when the wearer chooses to
move.

IS IT TRUE, AND IF TRUE, HOW
SHAMEFUL.

The press of New Orleans and of
',Raton Roage gives columns of express
ions OF sorrow sknanating from men in
high official positions, over the death of
Senator McEnery
Some Of these expressions are full

If there was felt that grief, which we
are told stunned some of the friends
OF Senator McEnery, why was not his
death observed with dignity with be-

In the Shreveport Journal of June 20
there was published a special from Bat
on Rouge, from which is reproduced
this clip:
Baton Rouge last night resenlbled
inaugural night Crowds of personal
friends Of Sanders fiocked up from New
Orleans, the hotels were crowded, wine
was flowing and it was wild night,
seemingly quite forgetful of the aged
statesman lying cold in death in New
Orleans after fifty years of service to
the State
McEnery dead could have no Unfit
ence, and being dead, his usefulness is
al an end, but why this wild night, ,
this demonstration resembling "inaugu-
raj nightf
Decency at least demanded that the
death Of McEnery be observed with
some degree Of dignity.
Such an exhibition can rot be excused
nor defended. Ii is indefensible and in
excusabIe. It is reflection of discredit,
an indication Of low morals, the yielding
a - tzsaasieR for the living over the
dead. which is shameful
And such is politics, the politics which
has heendominating the State, when dig
nifty and respect and all things held sa-
cred for the dead, become subordinated
to the advancement and the exaltation
of the living.
AS we'll refrain from any exenplifica-

MUCKRAKERS.

The Muckraker does the most dis
agreeable although beneficial and
necessary work for the preservation
of all that is best in society. He
"muckrakes" without pay; he per-
forms this disagreeable work from
sense of duty. He receives the con-
slant abuse of degenerates for his
worthy labors, and the class of socie-
ty, the best that is left to us, do not
sustain him.
Jesus Christ was the greatest
muckraker in His day. Did He not
kick the money changers out of the
Temple, and roasted the hypocrites
and Pharisees?" This is muckrak-
ing.
Theodore Roosevelt and Tom Wat
son are the two greatest "muckrak-
ers' in America today.

ceipts, "Against-1", "Against-2",
"Against-3", "Against-4". and so on.
The Against" votes are detached
and preserved in consecutive order
apart from the "For" votes. (The
total number on the For" machine
plus the total number on the
Against machine must equal the
total number ON the inspector or
Verifiers machine.) The against.
receipts are now sealed (face inn to
the remaining portion of the ballot,
from which they have been detached,
and there is nothing in sight to dis
tinguish them from "For'' receipts.
Both the For" and Against" re-
ceipts now pass into the hands of
third set of clerks, who remove
designated flap which exposes only
the printed, stamped or pasted ad-
dress which was placed there when
the blank ballot was originally mail
ed from Washington to the voter,
and which now serves as the address
for returning the receipt to the voter.
In Postal Polls there is little pos
sibility Of attempting illegal voting,
no probability of an illegal vote be-
ing accepted, and every certainty of
it's detection and rejection before the
final result is officially announced.
Errors Or frauds in counting would
decrease Or perhaps entirely disap-
pear, and if attempted they could
not evade detection and prevent cor
rection as they may now do. The
secrecy of the ballot in Postal Polls
is secured in the several sealings
made by the voter, which prevent
the clerks who verify the signature
and detach it from knowing whether
the vote is for Or against, and which
conceal the voters name and address
from those who count, number and
stamp the votes and receipts, while
the third lot of clers do not know
the contents of the receipt they are
mailing to the voter.
The plan works quickly, smoothly
and accurately, and if 1 have not
made this plain to you, then the
fault lies in my description, not in
the plan, for that is simplicity ITSELF

ignore a weakness, but rather to Sc
