The legislature elected four year.
ago should have been in accord with
the State administration elected at the
same time; but while the administra.
tion opposed the lottery the legislative
branch of the government voted for it.
Th. State administration during the
four years about closing, has stood for
thaepeople and their interests, while
the majority of the legislature stood
for the lottery and its interests. Durin
the coming four years the administra
tion may be just the other way ; and
how necessary it is that a proper legis
lature should be elected. The candi
dates for the Senate and House, nomi
nated by the regular Democratic con
ventions in this district and parish,
and whose names appear in this paper,
are men noted for their personal hon
esty and devotion to the interests of
the people. At the election on the 19th
ins t, ,bey should be elected by a large
majority, and the people should make
it their special duty on- that day to
turn out and vote for them.
WHICH WAS THE TRUE DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION AT BATON
ROUGE?
New Delta.
The managers of the Louisiana Lot
tery Company have long and blatantly
claimed and proclaimed that their
Pike's Hall convention at Baton Rouge,
their packed McEnery convention, was
the true Democratic convention of
Louisiana.
By the most corrupt political meth
ods ever known in this country; by
wholesale frauds and by open bribery,
by frivolous contests of honest Demo
cratic votes, the political agents of
John A. Morris claimed to have ob
tained an apparent majority of dele
gates elected to the State convention
of Dec. 16 at Baton Rouge.
The true Democracy of this State
justly and indignantly denied this
arrant claim of the machine agents of
Morris, McEnery and Company.
Now, we are afforded a full opportu
nity of exploding the false and frudu
lent pretenses of the Morris-McEnery
managers at Baton Rouge last Decem
ber.
The vote of the parishes which voted
for Foster last Tuesday, with the vote
of each in a State convention is as fol
lows :

Total - - - - - 315
In this estimate we have not includ
ed the parishes of Vernon with 5 votes
and Winn with 6 votes, making a total
of 11 votes.
The total vote in the Democratic
State conventioj is 686. By the above
table it will be seen that Foster has
carried 351 votes, more than half,
without the votes of the two parishes
we have left out of the table because
no official information has yet been
received as to how they have gone.
Every parish that the lotteryites
contested at Baton Rouge last Decem
ber except two voted for the true De
mocracy and against McEnery last
Tuesday.
"In the face of these figures, what do
the people of Louisiana think of the
effrontery of the lottery managers in
trying, by fraud in the State conven
tion, to suppress the true voice and
vote of this great commonwealth?
The true Democracy of this State
has established its claim on its gallant
Democratic voters. The scheming
managers of Morris and McEnery have
shown that they were the bolters. They
have cost the honest taxpayers of this
State countless thousands of dollars in
loss of business and in holding an un
necessary election to show that they
were political shams.
The people now know which was the
true Democratic convention at Baton
Rouge. They know, too, who are the
most insidious foes of white suprema
cy and Democratic harmony in Lou
isiana.
With this most desirable knowledge
let the honest and stalwart Democ
racy of Louisiana remember it for all
time.

FREE SILVER.
National Economist.
A Democratic caucus has been hel
by the House to consider the matt(
of free coinage. The Wall street win
of. that party is getting somewhi
nervous over the situation as evidence
by the strenuous efforts made by it I
side-track this issue. They have r
sorted to the most disreputable an
unfair methods in order to deceive an
divide the people in regard to th
measure. They have attempted to a
ray one section of the country again,
the other, one portion of the produce:
against the other, and bring about
general contest between the debtoran
creditor classes.
No falsehood has been so great, n
misrepresentation so flagrant, and n
advantage so brutal as not to be use
in the effort to defeat free coinage.
A general campaign of abuse, sland(
and deception is being waged again,
the bill. An attempt was recentl
made to list gold on the stock exchang
in order to frighten people into t1
belief that it was going to a premiun
Gold mortgages and gold notes are b
ing exacted for the same purpose
Money has been held back from invest
ments, and refusals have been made t
extend or renew certain forms of it
debtedness for similar reasons. A.
this and much more in the same lin
has been done under the pretext of
fear of free coinage of silver. Thes
methods of bulldozing public opinio
have been supplemented by the politl
cian with a plea that free coinage wi
split the Democratic party, that it wi"
lose the East and prevent a victory ii
1892. Upon this plea, more than an3
thing else, the enemies of free silve
base their hopes of defeating the mea
ure. An effort is being made to post
pone action upon the Bland bill unti
after election, so it will not place tju
nnlitiriana nann ra.nrl Strnano n
men who favor this cowardly course,
and will give it their support. The
subsidized press are almost a unit
against the measure, and are filling
their columns with falsehood and mis
representations. It is hardly safe to
predict the outcome of this scheme, as
it is of all others, since the bulldozer
and party lash are as yet potent factors
in politics.
In fact, it is a matter of the utmost
indifference to the people what it may
be. The end of such temporizing and
deception is almost at hand. A post
ponement of action on the bill or a
cowardly back-down will simply urge
the people to a more vigorous action
and hasten the day of final accounting.
The people would simply enlarge their
political grave-yards and prepare them
for use a little earlier. The present
Congress is composed largely of men
who were elected upon promises-pro
bably seven-eighths are in that situation
Some have already 'owned to their
hypocrisy by declaring their retire
ment from politics. Others have gone
back on their pledges, and have been
marked by their constituents for the
political cemetery. The greater por
tion however are making the usual ef
fort of serving God and Mammon at
the same time. In this they make the
mistake of not taking into account the
rapidity with which the people are be
ing educated, and the increased facili
ties through which they are able to
keep up with their representatives in
Congress. The time has passed when
a Congressman can go home and de
ceive his people as to what he has or
has not done. It is quite safe to as
sume that, outside of New England
and a few Northern States, there is
scarcely a dozen Democratic members
of the House that can be returned if a
free coinage bill is not passed.
The people demand it, and will ac
cept no excuse. If the present mem
bers do not enact such legislation they
will be retired and others sent who
will.
The Alliance demands free and ufi
limited coinage of silver, not as a com
plete remedy for present financial ills
by any means, but to right a great
wrong, to make partial reparation for
an outrage, and restore to the people
whatever benefits may result from it.
There is another idea connected with
this. The adoption of free coinage
would eliminate it as a political factor,
would get it out of the way of other
and greater reforms, which are now
held back to some extent with that
question in its present condition. Free
coinage will not increase the volume
of currency to any great extent, neither
will it bring about a revival of better
times to the extent predicted. It will
disclose, however, what a larger volume
of currency might do, and put every
free silver advocate on the side of
further and more radical monetary re
forms.
Now, many candid people honestly
believe that free coinage will bring the
needed relief. Until this confidence is
disapproved they will go no further in
the demand for currency reform. Let
free coinage become a law and the re
sults fail of their expectations, and
they will be ready and earnest in their
demands for further legislation in this
line of reform. Because of this it is
desirable to pass the free coinage bill
and get this matter out of the way.
THE WHITE SUPREMACIST.
New Delta.
In the light of the election held last
Tuesday "The Champion of White Su
premacy" appears in rather bad shape.
Mr. Justice McEnery has paraded all
over the State as the peculiar and par
ticular knight of white supremacy, and
urgent appeals were made to the white
people of the State to vote for him on
thit ground. In view of these appeals
the result is amusing.
The white parishes of the State re
pudiated their self-elected champion
and voted solidly against him; and the
whiter the parish, the solider was the
vote. He was repudiated by the white
parishes of Acadia, Avoyelles, Bienville,
Caddo, Calcasieu, Cameron, Catahoula,
Claiborne, East Feliciana, Franklin,
Grant, Jackson, Lafayette, Lincoln,
Livingston, Morehouse, Natchitoches,
Rapides, Red River, Sabine, St. Helena,
St. Landry, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa,
Union, Vermillion, Washington, Web
ster and West Carroll.
And by the irony of fate the chief
support of this champion of white su
premacy came from the negro parishes
of Assumption, East Carroll, Iberia,
Iberville, Jefferson, Lafourche, Madi
son, Pointe Coupee, St. Bernard, St.
John, Tensas, Terrebonne and West
Baton Rouge. Take the negro parish
es from behind this champion of white
supremacy and about all he would have
left to support him would be the vote
of Orleans, which was carried for him
chiefly by the hoodlum and "tough"
element.
Thus we have the modern Don
Quixote, this champion of a white su
premacy which was never in danger,
leading the negro parishes against the
white parishes and depending upon the
votes of the negro parishes to aid him
in saving the white parishes, which
are doing their level best to keep their
self-styled and self-elected political
knight errant from saving them. It
seems that McEnery is determined to
save them in spite of themselves, even
if he has to have the negro parishes.
hold them while he saves them.
The Air a Nitrogenous Fertilizer for
Legumes.
By A. L. Winton, Jr., Connecticut Agricul
tural Experiment Station.
Of all the fertilizing elements re
quired by plants, nitrogen is the most
expensive, costing from fourteen to
nineteen cents per pound, or over
twice as much as soluble phosphoric
acid, and three to four times as much
as potash. This high cost is not, how
ever, because of its scarcity; on the
contrary, it is a very common ele
ment, forming about three-fourths of
the air about us. Over every acre of
our farms there hangs suspended
enough nitrogen in a free or uncom
bined conditioni to be worth about
$10,000,000, if obtained in a proper
state of chemical combination with
other elements, but the manufacture
of nitrogenous fertilizers cheaply from
the air has not yet been accomplished.
We have been obliged to bring nitrate
of soda and guano from South America,
and sulphate of ammonia, tankage,
blood, etc., from different parts of our
own country to make good the defi
ciency of this most important element
in our worn-out soils.'
Recent experiments with legumes
peas, beans, clover, lupines, etc.-which
show that these plants have the re
markable power of directly utilizing
the free nitrogen of the air, are of
special interest to the farmer, because
they suggest a method whereby the
expense of fertilizing with nitrogen
may be diminished. During the past
hundred years-and it is entirely -dur
ing this period that modern chemistry
and therefore agricultural chemistry,
has been developed-the source of ni
trogen in plants has been the subject
of numerous experiments. The early
chemists attempted a solution of the
problem by determining the change
in composition brought about in a
confined volume of air in the growth
of plants. But this method is in it
self defective, and for this and other
reasons were worthless. It was not
until 1850 and the few years following,
that the matter was investigated in a
rational manner by Boussingault in
in France, and Lawyes and Gilbert in
England.
These experimenters examined the
plants themselves, rather than the air,
with reference to gain or loss of nitro
gen. Seeds containing a known quan
tity of nitrogen were planted in soil
free from this element, but containing
all the essential mineral ingredients,
and at the end of the period of growth
the plants were analyzed. In. no case
was it found that plants thus grown
contained an appreciably greater
quantity of nitrogen than the seed.
As a result of these and numerous oth
er experiments, the conclusion was
reached that plants could attain healthy
growth only when nitrogen was pres
ent in sufficient quantity in the soil,
and that there was no evidence that
free atmospheric nitrogen could, under
any circumstances, be assimilated.
These conclusions were accepted by
scientists as final, and, during the
twenty-five years following, further
experiments were not attempted.
Notwithstanding the scientific evi
dence, it was a well-known fact that
legumes could thrive on soil which,
owing to lack of nitrogen, could not
support other plants.
Between 1880 and 1885, Prof. Atwa
ter, of Wesleyan University, Connecti
cut, obtained results which showec
that the pea plant is an exception tc
the general rule, and can acquire fret
nitrogen from the air. His result,
were at first received with distrust
but, in 1886, Hellriegel, a Germar
chemist, and afterwards others, veri
fled Atwaterk work, and proved be
yond a reasonable doubt, that not only
the pea plant, but many, if not all
legumes have this remarkable power.
It was soon ascertained that microbes
in the root tubercles are instrumental
in bringing about this acquisition ol
free nitrogen. These little root tuber
cles had long before been noted on
roots of legumes, but their true signi
ficance was not understood. Hellrie
gel found that when these plants were
grown in. pots of sterilized soil, con
taining no nitrogen at all, root tuber
cles did not form and the plants soon
sickened and died; in cases, however,
where a little garden soil had' been
added at the proper time to the pots,
the tubercles soon began to appear,
and healthy growth, to complete ma
turityy followed. The best results were
obtained if the earth with which the
plants were infected was taken from a
garden which had previously grown
the particular, legume under experi
ment.
Nobbe, a German botanist, who has
long been befgre the public as an ex
pert on seeds, has recently performed
some experiments, the results of which,
published only a few weeks since,
throw new light on this subject. Seed
lings of various herbaceous and woody
legumes were set out in pots of soil
containing mineral salts, but so
prepared as to be entirely free from
nitrogen and also from living microbes.
The pots were then infected with va
rious solutions, each of which con
tained a pure culture of a microbe
from the root tubercles of some legume.
Although these pure culture from dif
ferent legumes could not be distin
guished from each other by -micros
copic examination, their effect on the
various legumes was very different. For
examlpe, the infection with the locust
microbe produced very beneficial re
sults on the locust plant, but with the
pea plant and other legumes scarcely
any effect was noticed; on the other
hand, the pea microbe brought about
a vigorous growth in the pea plant,
but had little influence on the locust.
In many cases infection with the
proper microbe produced as good re
sults as the addition of a liberal quan
tity of nitrogenous manure, while,
without infection, the plants soon sick
ened and died. The practical conclu
sions derived from these experiments
show plainly that, with our present
knowledge of the habits of legumes,
these plants ought more than ever to
become prominent factors in agricul
ture. It has been clearly demonstrated
that clover, beans, peas, lupines and
other plants of this family, can be
s uccessfully cultivated on spoils where,
owing to lack of nitrogen, other crops
will not thrive.
It is, therefore, a waste of time and
money to apply nitrogenous fertilizers
to such crop when the cheaper
material containing only potash, phos
phoric acid and other mineral ingre
dients will act with as good effect. A
soil which has never grown legumes,
may not contain a sufficient number
of the germs which are instrumental
in rendering these plants capable of
utilizing the free nitrogen in the air.
In such cases the addition of about
half a ton per ton per acre of soil from
land which has previously grown the
particular legume to be cultivated,
may produce as beneficial effects as a
liberal dressing with nitrogen. This
point is especially worthy of notice by
those introducing into a locality new
kinds of legumes.
Rice Interests.
e
*e Jennings Reporter.
a A few corporations at times fav
h the producer in some respects. It
b- claimed by the incorporators of t
,,rice trust that they are in keepi
, with this view : "This corporation i
tends to purchase and build elevate
a and warehouses, buy and hold ri

e sluices, ditches and canal; divert r'
ers and dam streams; own vessels a
. railways; use electric, horse and oth
powers, and connect the same wi

These things seem at a glance to

8- FUTURE OF COTTON.
St. Louis Republic.
y A New Orleans cotton firm has i
ir produced in circular form a lett
t written by a Mississippi planter ai
t, originally published in the Grenal
Sentinel. It is the most thoroug
1e going treatment of the cotton situ
e- tion we have yet seen. After poir
- ing out that cotton now sinks ti
e' money invested and does not me
than pay the bare expense of the

that, without raising less cotton
employing more labor, every plant
must raise his own corn and provisioi
"A negro," he writes, "can raise cotti
I- but cannot produce corn without i
telligent direction."
It will hardly be believed ten yes
) hence that cotton has sold as high
e, 10 cents. The natural increase
ps cleared land and the new land tak
in the prairies of Texas will amou
to at least 15 per cent. The prese
crop will be fully 9,000,000 bales, a

h points out, will surely grow larger

A Fatal Mistake. 2
Physicians make no more fatal mis
take than when they inform patients
that nervous heart troubles come from
the stomach and are of little conse
quence. Dr. Franklin Miles, the noted
Indiana specialist, has proven the con
trary in his new book on "Heart Di
sease," which may be had free at F. E.
Bailey's drugstore, who guarantees and
recommends Dr. Miles' unequaled New
Heart Cure, which has the largest sale
of any heart remedy in the world. It
cures nervous and organic heart di
sease, short breath, fluttering, pain or
tenderness in the side, arm or shoulder,
irregular pulse, fainting, smothering,
dropsy, etc. His Restorative Nervine
cures headache, fits, etc.

Candidates for the PaY.
The Forum.
The historian o e last conclave,
Raffaele de Cesare, has just published
in the Nuova Antologia a. essay on
the future pope, reviewing tne candi
dates who, according to his views, have
the best chances to ascend the Papal
throne. As the first he names Cardi
nal Monaco Valletta, the chief of the
moderate Intransigents, quite as stub
born as Leo XIII in the revindication
of the temporal power, but peaceful
and a friend of Austria. The second
is Cardinal Parocchi, a blind tool of
France, and Cardinal Lavigerie, capa
ble of strong resolutions, but also of
great follies. The third is Caifinal
Battaglini of Belogna, a mild priest
who seldom appears at the vatican and
confines himself peacefully to govern
ing his diocese. The complicated mode '
of election in the conclave makes pro
phecies very difficult. But this much
may be said, that the majority will
not be inclined to push the matter to
a crisis and that under Leo's success
sor things will go on very much as
they go on now.
We publish the vote of the Statq, '
by parishes, for Foster and McEnery,
as far as counted by the committee of
seven,according to the last city papers.
One hundred votes, for Foster, were
thrown out of one precinct in Sabine
parish, by the committee~of seven. If
the precincts in New Orleans, where
gross frauds and violations of rules
were committed, are served in the
same way, Foster will be the man;
otherwise it will be McEnery, by vir
tue of the fraudulent hoodlum vote of
New Orleans, which will prevail over
the country vote and control the Dem
ocratic party of and govern the State
of Louisiana.
Last Saturday the Republican par
ish committee, of the Custom House
wing, met for the purpose of consider
ing the matter of parochial nomina
tions. Napoleon McBride of Bayou
Petite Prairie, John Austin of Prairie a
Laurent, and Washington Duncan of
Prairie Basse, were nominated for the .
legislature. The committee could not
agree on candidates for parish offices,
and adjourned till to-day.
We were surprised last week on
opening up the Lake Charles Echo
to see the Foster ticket in place
of the McEnery flying at its masthead.
Looking along up the column we dis
cerned a change of editors as well.
Thad Mayo, Esq., our efficient parish
clerk, is in charge, which accounts for
the radical change in the Echo. May
it receive merited success.
The new basis of representation
submitted to popular vote at the recent
primary election, was carried by a con
siderable majority; therefore in the
next Democratic State Convention
the representation of St. Landry will"
be increased one or two delegates, and
parishes like Tensas will be greatly re
duced.
