ThU statement and forecast have been amply Justified by the Legislature Just adjourned. A number of the propositions advanced at the outset and which seemed to lind favor, were alarming, and It was with good reason said that this Legislature was a 1 tnenace to the Htate. Happily, under reflection and consideration, more so ber counsel prevailed.

In ef fect, Mr. Donaparte took the position that tho new law barred Individuals from promoting Immigration In any manner and restricted States to mere advertising abroad. The hand of the enemy In the measure became appar ent, and vUi'ise should It prove to be hut Senator Lodge's? This great and good friend of the South had.

Thus the bill, which cnuld have been easily defeat- I, I3ut even though tho Massachusetts Senator may have been merely main taining his record of unscrupulous hostility to Southern Industry, It Is fortunately true that there are other ; considerations involved. Mr. Lodge Is , an old crony of the President; and the view of tho fact that he has al ways been the Roosevelt administra tion's Henate spokesman, assurances by him regarding an Important ad- 1 ministration measure th avowed ; purpose of the act was to promote a settlement of the California-Japan controversy could not fall to possess ) proper It Is that the president, even 1 ' ailmads unable to furnish cost to the ,hlUgh .,, may not have authorized Mr. .''"1 , ,,ig,.

C, Record. , This important question has circu lated In these parts for some llttlo time, but thus far without an answer. The Kecord'a request for Information Is preferred to the proper quarter and shall not be made in vain. JTes, tha onion has an Indefeasible legal right to sme.ll, and this right, "while never conferred either ; by;1 statute . or ; royal grant, la none the loss well establish ed.) It reata upon the open, notJrtoue and hostile possession of the smell by the onion family during countless gen erations ' thereof; in fact, since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Beyond even this t'tle '.a another, upon which. In the last analy sis, It is found to be Immovably bated. The smell belongs to the onton Just as a distant cousin belongs to the skunk, quills to the porcupine, power ot blending with surroundings to the chameleon, briars to the berry, burrs to the chestnut and Hard outer shell to the nut In the providential scheme of things It Is designed to serve as a partial protection. Every one knows how formidable a thing Is the smell when first encountered. Had that been an onion Instead of an apple In the Oar- den of Eden Eve's woman curiosity would hardly have persisted In seeking full gratification; and even supposing tho contrary, Adam, Instead of being led astray by her, would have refused a bite with more energy than polite ness. Wondering if her new breath was to be permanent, he would have sighed for a divorce, and lamented " mm no nuu not oeen permiuea to re main a bachelor. In Us wild state tho onion owes even more to Its ex cessive pungency. This protective function of the smell vindicates Its right to a place In the economy of nature and thus secures the sanction of science. The two-fold nature of the legal title thus becomes apparont. Originating in natural law and 'ully Justifying Itself for all time ther-jby, It has become firmly Imbedded In hu man Jaw likewise. Of the three forms of law enumerated by Blackstone, It has the sanction of two and meets with no prohibition from the third. The conclusion of the whole matter Is that the legal right of the onion to smell cannot be disputed. We trust that nowhere will a voice make itself heard In opposition to the manifest Justice of this decision. Since Willie Hearst, evidently In de spair of dethroning King Bryan, has read himself and his yellow cohorts entirely out of the Democratic party, he can hardly expect to elect his pres idential ticket next year. Instead of running himself he may prefer to put up a Hearst-owned candidate. If this Is his Intention we should like to sug- (test a candidate whom he could not only manipulate with eminent satis- i faction but even abolish at will. We rise to place In nomination the Hon.

Ghost Klory 1 Vom Lonely Td -riti O.-ae oa Railroad. New York Sun. "Bill Stokes was night operator up at Illgbie Depot," -said the talkative railroad 1 telegrapher. "Hlgble Depot was a little, hamlet where the Chinese pink line had one of its block stations. There were only about two trains a year that stopped at Hlgble, one up in the spring and, one down In the fall. "Bill was the only man the company coutd get to remain as night operator at Hlgble, and they ot blm only be cause his folks lived on a farm near there. One day Bill up and died with, out giving the railroad company "any warning, and the chief ordered me there as a relief until he could ret somebody to stay there steady, "The principal duties at Hlgble were to block trains. , A train never stop ped there unless the block ahead wasn't clear. Messages or train orders at Hlgble were about as scarce as sil ver wedding anniversaries in polite society. "I'd got so lonesome sitting there nights and listening to the Instruments clicking off their messages to other of fices that sometimes in sheer despera tion I would go out on the station platform and holler, 'Have a drink V up the mountain side Just to hear the echo get sociable. ' "Bill Stoke's individual sign was Cs and everbody along the line knew old Cs by the slow and deliberate way he made his Morse characters. Only one person In a thousand could trans mit Cs in the same style as Bill. "One night as I sat by the telegraph table, after the wires had -relapsed Into the usual midnight stillness, I was startled to hear the train dis patcher's wire open and C-s, C-s, slowly and deliberately, came Bill Stokes' sign over the wire. Nobody but Bill Stokes himself " could write C-s like that. "Well, sir. It wasn't long before the 8. R. O. sign was hung out on every hair of my head. It was either Bill's ghost practicing or his ego had been left behind. "Then some other person on tho wire broke in with, 'Scat there, Bill! Thought you were dead," He, too, had recognised Bill's fine Italian hand behind the C-s. But the mysterious person paid no attention to the Inter ruption and kept right on grinding out C-s, monotonously. "Do you believe It, every midnight that C-s business" would start up and whoop it op for an hour at least to the exasperation of the train dispatch ers and wire chiefs, not to mention frightening me out of about seven years ' growth. The experts traced the mysterious characters as emanat ing from the vicinity of Hlgble Depot, but I swore up and down and all around that it wasn't my office. "Everybody was getting scared, thinking that Bill Stokes's shade was haunting the ' wires. It got to be a serious business with mc. "I sat there night after night right on the ghost plant, as It were, with the cold chills playing rlng-around-a-rosy up and down my back. One night I got so flustrated I could stand it no longer and. Jumping to my feet. I shouted so that it reverberatod through and through the little wait ing room. " 'Say, you miserable little shrimp, I shouted, 'If I can find out who you are or what you are I'll go to the mat with you, spook or no spook,' "And then. I started a systematic search of the plare. I finally came to an old unused closet and burst the door open 'Hanging on a nail In this closet was an old office waistcoat of BUI Stokes', which he hung there the last night he worked. This waistcoat was swinging in the breege. which came through the half-raised window of the closet, so that the brass buttons would be drawn across the wires which led through the closet to the Instru ment table In the ticket office: "The third button on the waist coat was missing, and the space be tween the second and fourth buttons would make 'he space the same as the Morse character C, thus two dots, space, dot. and the three remaining buttons formed the letter 8. "The Insulation on the wires where they ran through the closet had worn oft and the metal buttons made a con nection with the wire, causing the let ters C-s to be transmitted on the wire. It's strange, though, how they could be formed almost exactly the same Pleads Guilty of Sending Lottery Mattwr. New Orleans, March 1?. James A.
