Crossed BY the Corpse.

Most of Walthamstow is too modern
to have much mystery about it. but
the WaIthamstow strip" of Legion
preserves the memory of a curious old
rule Barely hundred yards broad.
this strip of land belonging TO Wal
thamstow parish. ran right across Ley
ton from the lea to Snare<brook. par
alel with the southern border of Wal
thamstow. How came Legion to be
crossed by this alien strip? Legion.
it was said, had once refused to bury
a body found in the lea: Walthamstow
came forward to do It. And in such
cases it was the rule that the voiun
teering parish might take from the
other as much land right through to
the other side as the men who carried
the corpse could cover walking i'll line

inconvenient result worried both par

There is nothing in all the world

Frisco gets the Expo

San Francisco was victorious
in the congressional test on Tues
day. The poll gave that city 1873
and New Orleans 159, a majority,
of 29 in a canvass of SAT. The
vote was a distinct disappoint-
ment to all of us. The Senate
may not concur with the House
anda a hitch may result. Itlooks,
however, like alosing proposition.
It is said that New Orleans does
not lose all. Every fight makes
friends. Those far away who
hitherto ignored New Orleans,
now know that she is on the map,
Our Crescent City was beaten
by the force of politics and mon-
Yey. but she will reap the benefits
of the extensive advertising of
which she was the object.

Weather and Crop Notes.

The weather continues excep-
tionally fair. Seldom, in the re-
collection of the oldest inhabi-
tant, have we witnessed such
spring like weather. The plant
ing of the canes was uninterrupt-
ed and this work has about end
ed on the majority Of plantations.
The ground was well. prepared,
as a rule, and a good stand should
result where the seed canes were
sound.
The Modern Sugar Planter. in
its issue Of the 28th. decries the
pessimistic views as expressed by
us relative to the condition of the
seed cane in this parish This
exchange says that Ill. is to be
hoped this ST. John estimate of
seed cane will speedily be found
as oYerdrawn." We hope SO, and
wish for our planters that their
fears may be dispeHed and a good
stand result from the paintings

Democracy's Opportunity.

The Democracy of the country now
has its opportunity. For ffty years it
held full sway of the government and
gave the people of this coantry the fairest
deal ever known in the history of repub-
lies. Then Republicanism came into
power and under it's rule and policy Of
high protective duties capitalism has
1ourished immeasurably gigantic COM
binations have been made possible. trusts
have sprung into being and grown and
fatteDed at the expense of the public.
There is scarcely an article of food or a
staple manufacture in this country to-
day that is not controlled by a monopoly.
Prices are fixed arbitrarily, competition
is practically banished.
The people endured long, but the re-
volt finally came last November. The
Republican party and it's policies was de.
fsated all over the country. 8 new era
has been ushered in. New York. New
Jersey and Maine executed q complete
political somersault. driving the high
tariff advocates from power. The Demo
cratic majorities in Ohio and Indiana
we're largely increased West Virginia
and Nebraska returned Democratic le-
gislatures. Massachusetts, and Connect.
cut elected Democratic governors. Only
Pennsylvania remains hidebound in it's
adherence to those policies which else
whore have been repudiated. 1t conti-
nues under the rule of Machine, which,
in combination with perfidious Democra.
tic leaders, succeeded in preventing the
electorate from fully and freely express
sing its choice in the person Of Candi.
date Berry. But for that unhoIed alliance
there is not the shadow OF q doubt that
this state would have joined the great
majority Of other wealths in
their bolt from the thraldom of Republi-
can boss rule.
Yet this is but the beginning OF the
political revolution. 1t is with the De-
mocracy now to live up to it's ideals and
give the country that government and
legislation which the people have de.
manded at the polls. 1t is absolutely es.
sential, il the Democracy is to deserve
and keep the respect and confidence
which the country has voted to it, that
it repeal the Psyne-Aldrich abomins-
ton. 1t must do this to keep faith with
the people. Then. in 1912, it can not
help but sweep the country. elect pres
ident and overthrow the Republican ma.
jority in the Senate.
