The Happy Victim.


Senator Thornton dropped into sombrc prose
poetry the other day when he thus described the
sacrifices which the Democratic party Is demand
ing of unappreciated Louisiana:
We the fathers, have constantly striven 10 steady
the impulses of the in favor Of the national
Democratic party and keep them true 10 the faith.
And they to be slain by the party in which
pie of Louisiana have given 81 their time, labor,
money, and even their blood in the earlier days, and
Of their time labor and money i'm the later days To
establish in power: and when the fair form Of
Louisiana has been pierced by this poisoned shaft.
like the stricken eagle Of which the poet tells she
fatal arrow tipped with feather from her own
wing.
1t is hard very, very hard.
Yet, moved as the public may be by the harsh
fate Of Louisiana the ForSaken, there will be II
natural disposition to inquire why the victim so per-
sstently pursued the oppresSor and thrust the pol
soned arrow into his hand. Nobody in Louisiana had
any cause TO believe that Democratic President
and Congress would spare the cane sugar industry.
Only year ago the Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatives passed free sugar bill, yet Louisiana
remained faithfully and solidly Democratic.
Why not drop the charge Of nhumany apd the
nose OF innocent martyrdOm? Why not admit that
Louisiana is so passlonately devoted to the Demo
cratic party that she goes rapurousy to the scaod
at its bidding excaiming. eff Wilson, Clark, Tn
derwood & Co. decree it, it must be all right?

Mails and Is Held
for Trial

HE TELLS INSPECTOR

James \. Patterson, alias Silas Pat
terson, appeared before. United States
Commissioner Malalfy in Federal Court
this morning and pleaded guilty to the
charge OF making fraudulent use of the
United states mails against the John A.
Roebling Sons Company. of Trenton. n.
d. The company alleged that Patterson
secured sums Of money from il by stat
ing that he was one of a committee rep
resentng a large concern that conten-
plated the purchase of a big quantityNof
Nvire rope.
PattersoD's plea Of guilty came after
n long talk he had with Postoflice In
spector Plummer yesterday afternoon, in
which he told the inspector Of past
deals he had been involved in, and said
that he considered himself a victim Of
circumstances.
When asked II he desired counsel TO
take charge OF his case Patterson said
he did not, but entered his plea Of guilty
himself. lie was Reld in $1,000 bail by
Mr.. Mahaify to await the action of the
grand jury.
Patterson was arrested several days
ago by Mitchell and Flynn, deputy
marshals, through the instigation of
Inspector Plummer while he was call
ing tor the mail of the Delaware
Holdings Company
While looking up the record of Pat
terson, Mr.. Plummer ascertained that
Patterson is highly connected in
Pennsylvania, Maryland and South
Carolina. His father was at one time
a rich man, who was connected with
many big enterprises. Since his
fathers death, however. he has as
sociated himself with promoters Of
New York and Philadelphia, and has
operated in their schemes in almost
every park of the United States.
Inspector Plummer, in his investi-
CATION, came across a deal Patterson
is believed to have been interested in
last Saturday, which involved $4,000.
with a prominent business man or
Philadelphia. This business man. up
until the time of Mr.. Plummer's visit
to him.. had complete confidence in
Patterson and believed he was able
to carry out the proposed big and i'm
portant business transaction. This
S29,0O0 was to have been the first pay
ment on an alleged gigantic contract.
