It is a quaint old town, consisting chiefly ct river When I studied geography several decode* ego. I knew that Loairi ana had two capitals, one at New Or lomis *nd the other at Baton Rouge. They have got tired of entertaining legislators at New Orleans at late years and have unloaded the whole job upon the smaller and more nearly deCenselees city. Looking back to those old days, I re call that Louisiana was one of the very few states whteh required two rents for legislaturea. Connecticut was one, with Hartford and New Haven as cap ttala, and Rhode Island, the smallest of atatea, was another, with Fkovldence and Newport. Os late years there has been a sort of centralisation of capitals. The fashion of having one at every en terprising city in a state has fallen into disuse. Yon might tramp aD over any of the states nowadays and not run the risk of blundering into a legislature in full blast where It might have been least expected. I asked the Pocatello man what he thought was the reason for tbe wealth of capitals in earlier times. "In those days, ” he said, "the states were young and tender and had not fully developed their muscle and their power of resisting great assaults. It was therefore to dirtribute the evil of a legislature sitting over a great deal ot country so as not to give any particular city the worst of it As time went on and a town showed especial hardihood and ability to stand great calamity the legislature was switched upon it as a perpetual and permanent institution. New Orleans and Newport and other towns which in other days were capitals had the good luck to draw two aces and to win out, sending the legislature in tbe one instance to Baton Rouge and in the other to Providence.- It takes, a game town to stand a persistent plague of legislature. ”—Chicago Record.
