The removal of the duty on sugar, and
the payment of a bounty to sugar produc
r, an tho republicans propose in their
tariff bill, would be a wiser eclieuie if it
went a little farther and reduced the duty
on refined sugar. The abolition of the
impost on the raw product would simply
cheapen it to the Sugar Trust, and enable
that "combine'' to buy what it wants for
less than it is compelled to pay now,
without having any effect in constraining
it to tell below present rates. A reduc
tion of the duty on refined sugtr, how
ever, would compel the Trust to lower
prices. This would benefit every one of
the 03,000,000 inhabitants of the country
except the few hundreds or thousauds
who own stock in the sugar refiner's
pool. Globe Democrat.

THAT LOU IHI AN A "ELECTION."
The speech of Senator Ingalls has finally
pearcd in "Tho Congressional Record."
It contains, among a number of interest
ing matters, facts regarded the recent so
called "election" in Louisiana, which
the future historian of our politics will
read with wonder. There is a tabic of
returns by parishes showing that Gov
ernor Nicholl's uajority had at last ac
counts reached the preposterous figure of
83,200. This was moro than 20,000
larger than Cleveland's total vote lor
president, and Nicholl's total" vote was
69,000 greater than Cleveland's. Having
got thus far, the democratic counters
must have been surprised at their cwn
moderation in stopping there. They
might as well have made it a million as
not. It was only a question of stuffing
and throwing out, counting and omit
ting to count. Evidently they acted
upon the letter sent them by Governor
JIcEncry, which he has never dared to
deny :
''Warmoth is developing too much
strength. We must beat him. See to it
that your parish returns a large demo
cratic majority."
Following upen his public speech, in
which he declared that white people must
"rule the destinies of thts country' and
"it is time we shall say that the law shall
be silent," this was plain eneugh. Their
method of fulfilling their instructions is
illustrated by seyeral letters received
from Louisiana, and incorporated in Mr.
Ingall's speech. B. F. O'Neal wrote
from Hellevue, La.:
"I have jnt vired you the returns of
Bossier Parish. Total vote returned
4.303, Nicholls 4,218, Warmoth 'J5.''
There was a large turn-out, and a full
republican vote was polled. There
seemed to be no trouble or hindrance
about the negro voting the republican
ticket, aud it is safe to say at least 11,500
votes were polled for Governor Warmoth
and the repnb'ican ticket, but they were
counted out.
The work and proceedings of stuffing
the boxes is no secret here; the democrats
talk plainly and boldly about how they
did it.
It sheds some light on these statements
to note that 705 more votes were returned
in this parish than were registered. In
West Feliciana Parish, where Cleveland
had only 967, Nicholls got 2,036, atd
Warmoth, 877. In Rapides Parish
where Cleveland received 1,749,
Nicholls had 4,678 or nearly three times
as many. George Y. Kelso writes that
in Alexandria, which is in Kapides Par
ish, the commissioners took the ballots
from the hands of the negroes as if to
put them in the box, and afterward
threw them on thi floor, so that it was
covered under the tables with votes.
L. S. Tappius, jr., chairman of a com
mittee of voters, states that in the parish
of West Baton Kogue (Fourth Ward),
the commissioners closed the doors fif
teen minutes, and stuffed the box, so that
409 votes were returned for Nicholls
ni-re vetes than theie are in the ward.
In East Carroll Parish the box was so
recklessly stuffed that Nicolls was given
2,CS0 votes or 104 more than the entire
registration. Cleveland had only 191 in
East Carroll, so that Nicholls' vote show
ed an increase of more than 1,200 per
cent. General Nicholls must be popular
in East Carroll! Blaine had 1,229, but
Warmonth wa al owed only 285. In
Madison Parish Nicholls was credited
with 2,530. or 170 votes more than the
entire number of voters, white and col
ored in the parish. In Concordia he had
4,219, or 18 more than the entire regis
tration; in lied River, 1,679, being 498
m re than the total registration; in West
Banten Rogue, Nicholls had actually 99
votes less than the total registration, but
they were obliged to give Warmonth 454
to keep up appearances, so .tlt the total
excess was 355. The same was ..t ho case
in Vermillion, where the excess of the
total vote over the registered vote was
211. There was an excess also in Wash
ington. No wonder the Madison Times,
a leading democratic newspaper, said
that tho majority was "ridiculous,"
though it was then thought to be only
C0.000, or possibly 70,000, aud added:
"A mistake hus been made, and it will
not be long before everybody will know
it."
It is upon such frauds as these that the
democratic control, in large part, of the
National Government rests. Can it last?
Will tho people in the North make them
selves the accomplices of these men by
adding their votes to these shameless
fraudulent votes to re-elect Mr. Cleve
land ? N. Y. Tribune.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted ? If
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it l-i as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the me aning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
froji a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions fiuding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appreci
ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are marvelous.
WOOD BUFFALO FN THE NORTH.
A Few of Tbone Great Animals Still Ex
ist In British Colombia.
There still remain some of the wood buf
falo. This is an animal larger than the
American bison of tbe plains. They are
larger, coarser haired and straigbter horned.
1 mention this peculiarity of difference in the
horns because it is believed that the shape
and tbe broken and crooked nature of the
horns of tbe prairie buffalo has been caused
by his habit of digging into tho gravel,
whereas in tbe more northern species they
had to contend with other conditions where
straight horns would bo of more use, as, for
instance, they use them thero for clearing
aside from their pathway the brush and lux
uriant undergrowth.
These animals would weigh at least 150
pounds more than the buffalo of the Saskat
chewan plains. In the northern regions tbe
vetches and grasses are so high and the snow
fall not being unduly heavy, they have not
had to paw and break the crusted snow, as
was the habit of tbe buffalo, and that may
account for their superior size. In the
country where these are found horses cannot
Le used in pursuit and they are stalked in the
same manner that the moose and tbe other
largo animals are. It is difficult to form an
accurate estimate of tho number of these
animals that may yet be left. But perhaps
investigation yet may show that five or six
hundred may yet remain in scattered bands.
Owing to the fact that the horse cannot be
used in pursuit, it is more difficult for tho
Indians to hunt them, and indeed to find
tliem, than it was in the old days of hunting
upon the plains.
So rank is tbe undergrowth of this rich
country and so difficult is it for the Indians
to get at these animals that, perhaps, just
now any attempt ou the part of the govern
ment to afford protection to them would be
useless. If, however, some regulation which
would prevent white sportsmen from deliber
ately coming into tbe country to hunt these
animals for mere pleasure it might result to
advantage. At present it would be vexatious
to the Indians and of no great use, as the
animal has become in its habits so much like
the moose that he is able in a great measure
to protect himself. Montreal Gazette.

A Week's Supply of Stamps. -
That popular actor, W. J. Florence, was
once an employe of a bank note company in
this city, lie was talking about it recently
as he was licking a postage stamp for service
on a letter which he held in his band. Said
he: "The firm was Itawdon, Wright, flatci
& Edison. They wero bank note printers,
and had contracts from tho government.
They printed and gummed tho jtostage
stamps. It was my duty, as office ly, to
spend half an hour tvvico u week with u brush
and my hunU in spreading tho gum prepara
tion over tho stamps. Tho amount of labor
on my part supplied tho entiro amount re
quired for a whole week. Just think of tho
difference between that time and now. I
presume it would tako mo three months to
gum by hand a week's supply of stamps for
tho government. This old e.vperience of mine
was in 1S40 or '47. Tho printers had their
offices on tho top lioor of what is now the
custom house. It was then the Merchants'
Exchange." New York Tribune.

brella over her shoulder in such a manner as
to completely hide her figure from tho top of
her hat to her waist, or thereabouts, accord

ing thus placed a screen between herself and
tho unregenerute starc:s of either sex, sho
proceeds to survey her charms, real or al

Why Gentlemen Wear i;iaek.
Bulwer's "Pelham" became so popular im
mediately after its publication as to change
tho fashion of gentlemen's coats. In thoso
days gentlemen wore, for evening dress,
coats.of brown, or green, or blue, according
to their fancy. In the novel, I.ady Frances
Pelham says in a letter to her son: "Apropos
of the complexion, I did not like that blue
coat you wore when I last saw you. You
look best in black, which is a great compli
ment, for people must bo very distinguished
in appearance to do so." Every gentleman
who read "Pelham" took to himself the
"great compliment," and from that day
black has been tho color of gentlemen's full
dress. Tbe Argonaut.

A Seat in the House.
The seats in tho house of representatives
are drawn by lot at the beginning of tho
session. Tho first man whose namo is called

can get a particular seat in this way: Ho
enlists the help of a page, or if tho paga is
too youthful looking he p;etssonie doorkeeper
or other attache of the hall to fill the desired
chair. Tho luckier congressman does not
notice that the good seat is not really drawn,
the more experienced one. however, goes and
takes it when his uamo is culled. New York

Destruction of Antiquities.
Owing to the stringent law against selling
antiques in Greece, mauy objects are broken
when fouiid by peasants or throwu into the
sea. A similar move in Egypt under Said
IY.sba produced similar results. A new do-
f civ makes it unlawful to deal in antiquities.
