KEEP IT BEFORE TIE PEOPLE.
WHAT RADICAL1sM COSTS.

W Hal is-ADINAi-lSM COS1S.
A glance at the enormous expcndi-
lures of the peoples money by the
Radicals will demonstrate at once that
our salvation depends on driving them
from Office:
The Federal debt created principally
by the Radical party amounts in round
numbers to- So COO, 900 ,0O0
TO support the Radical administra-
ton it costs in taxation every year
about. $3.50, 900, 900,
while the Democratic administration
of Buchanan cost, per apnum, less
than. Observation-Disclosures. $40, 900, 600.
The greater part of this enormous
sum goes into the pockets of Radical
manufacturers, Radical mOn0polists
and Radical oifice-holders.
But the Federal taxation is not cir
cumstance to our State taxation under
Radical rule.
The debt of Louisiana amounts in
round numbers to. 1926, 300, 900.
OF this amount the Radicals have ere
ated in two years the enormous sum
of. .SI5, 600, 900.
Besides the endorsement of bonds to
corporations and monopolies to an
enormous amount, all which the State
will eventually have to pay.
This vast debt calls for taxation in
the aggregate to more than sir per cent
Every acre of land poor man buys
is taxed to such an amount as to rem
der it almost valueless.
| Every lock of cotton or ear of corn
he raises is taxed.
His horse, with which he plows, and
his COW, to furnish little milk for his
poor children, are taxed.
His humble two wheeled cart il
taxed.
The little money he makes is taxed
Every poor butcher or market deal
er pays an enormous license.
Every poor mechanic, who keeps
shop, pays an enormous license.
Every poor store-keeper pays a,
enormous license.
/ Every dray or cart pays an cnol
nous licenee.
Every fruit stand of a poor beggal
who tries to make living, pays a
enormous license.
Every poor peddler pays an emo,
nous license.
Every man pays poll-tax-whethe
he owns any property or not.
Besides many others scarcely les
onerous.
In addition the Parish taxes are enol
nous: caused by the expenses of GRIN
inal trials, produced by the ineflicienc
of Radical laws.
And the greater part OF all thes
! enormous sums goes into the pocket
t of Radical Office holders.
Tt enables them to build fine house
r and ride fine horses.
They vote it away to their friend
who waste it on monopolies.
The people are plundered to feed I'll
E lazy and corrupt office-holders.
f 1t is impossible for men, white {

WHAT WE EAT WITHOUT KNOW
ING.-Some Southerner on his summer
tour to the North has amused himself
by following up the large shipments of
white clay, OF "kaolin," which comes
from the deposit near Augusta, Georgia
and has partially discovered what has
become of it. The clay is very fine in
grain, free from slick, and of pure
white color. 1t is said to be valuable
in the manufacture Of various grades
of earthenware, but as the tons and
tons of it which come North do not
seem to go to porcelain manufactures,
our Southern friend has taken the
trouble to ascertain that it has become
the standard substance for the aduI-
teratiOn of soda, cream tartar, calomel,
and particularly the fancy candies
with which VIC are all accustomed to
imperil our lives. All this is very in
teresting. If the American people
have got that bank of clay to eat be
fore we can have pure groceries or con-
fectionery, it will be well to keep in
| formed from time to time as to what
progress is being made. Now that the
thing is spoken of, many persons will
remember, no doubt, that in eating
pulrerized sugar, bonbons and es-
pecially white candies, there is fire.
quentIy left in the mouth something
clammy and insoluble, with a taste
similar to the slate pencils We used tc
nibble in our school days. That must
be the "kaolin' We hear of. 1t is not
q particularly hazardous diet, little
heavy perhaps for delicate stomach
but not poisonous. The discouragine
thing is that it is expensive. The
eating of clay should not be denied tt
those who enjoy 1t, but the rest o
mankind should not be forced to do SO
at the rate of from ten cents to dollar
q pound. : Cleveland Leader

Obedience to Parents.

Show me boy who obeys his par
ents, who has respect for age, always
has friendly disposition, and who APP
plies himself diligently to get wisdom
and to do good towards others, and if
he is not respected and beloved, then
there is no such thing as truth in the
| world.
Even when parents are ill-tempered
and unreasonable they should bo treat
ed with respect and furbcarance by
their children. Olympias, the mother
OF Alexander the Great, was u woman
Of ambitious disposition, and occasion-
ed much trouble to her son. Neyerthe-
less, when pursuing his conQuests in
Asia, he sent her many splendid pres
ents out of the spoils which he had
taken, as tokens of his affection. He
only begged that she would not med
die with state affairs, but allow his
kingdom to be managed peaceably by
his governor, Antipater. When she
sent harsh reply to the request which
he had made, he bore it patiently, and
did not use sharp language in return.
On one occasion, when she had been
unusually troublesome, Antipatcr sent
him letters, complaining of her in very
grievous terms. Alexander only said,
"Antipater does not know that ono
single tear of my mother is able to blot
out six hundred Of his epistles."
A boy was once tempted by some o.
his companions to pluck ripe cherries
from tree which his father had for.
hidden him to touch.
"You need not be afraid" said one
of his companions, "for if your fathe,
should find out that you have taker
them he is so kind he would not hur
you"
"That is the very reason" replied
the boy, "why would not touch them
!, it is true that my father would no
touch me, yet my disobedience, / know
S would hurt my father, and that woult
be worse to me than anything else"
A boy who grows up with sucl
principles will be a man in the bes
I sense of the world. 1t shows q re
gard for rectitude that would rende
7 him trustworthy under every trial.

Liability or MARRIED wJAEa as susE1lss.

We find in the Albany Lar Journal for this week
the opinions of the Commissioners OF Appeals In the
case Of the Commercial Exchange Insurance Com.
pany VS.. Babcock, wherein was decided that vexed
question or tho liability Of married women as sure
ties. The following is the substance OF the de.
cision:--
"Where married woman, possessed OF separate
real estate. endorses notes as surety for her hus
band, without consideration and without benefit to
ner separate estate which endorsement purports in
terms to charge her separate estate with payment.
held, first, that an action at law on such endorse
ment, the complaint In which sets forth, In addition
to the ordinary allegations coverture OF the de-
fendant. separate estate In her. and her intent to
charge such estate, Is maintalnable. Sec
ond-That an ordinary pecunIary Judgment
IN such action as upon personal contract is proper
Earl, Com, dissenting.) Third-That in order to
make the endorsement OF married woman in such
case charge upon her separate estate all that Is
necessary Is her declaration III the contract or en-
dorsemenJ In trument creating the charge OF her
intent SO to charge her separate estate. The
charge need not be In sucn form as to create spe-
cific lien."
This emphatically overrules the decision OF the
General Term OF the Third district in the same case
holding that the Endorsement shonld have speci0-
caly described the property to be charged and have
been executed with all The 0rnalites OF mortgage
and also that an action at law ON such endorsement
could not be maintained.
