The Northern Elections.

IN the late election in Maine the
Democrats have elected two Con
gressmeD, u thing which has not
been done for twenty years before.
Hale, one of the strongest men the
Republicans had in Congress, is
beaten. On Tuesday, October sth,
Republicanism was completely
knocked off its feet in Ohio, Indi-
ana and even Iowa, in which latter
State, hitherto overwhelming Re-
publican. they pulled through by a
very small majority. Ohio sends a
Democratic delegation to Con
gress, Indiana the same, which at
once settles the question OF the next
House and the next Presidency.

Congress will stand II Democrats

No business of any Importance
was transacted, no case having been
disposed OF, nor was the merits'of
any case tried. One or two ex-

was done.

fattering to the citizens OF our
parish, and speaking volumes for
the present government and its Of
ficers. Here is the report:
STATE OF LOUISIANA, }
PARISH OF GRANT.
To the Honorable the Judge Of The Ninth
judicial District Court:
We, the grand jury, duly elected,
impannelled, charged and sworn
to inquire in aud for the body of
the Parish of Grant, at a district
court begun and held on the LIST
Tuesday of October, 1878, beg leave
to submit the following report
We have done all in our power
to restore the criminal records
burned in the court house, with
but partial success. And, although
the burning of the indictments was
calculated to encourage evil doors
in the commission of crime, and IN
their natural inclination to violate
law, we do not find crime on the
increase, and feel confident that by
the strict aud sure punishment OF
those who have violated the laws,
o,hers wall be deferred and the eA-
pcnse 30 the parish incurred IN
criminal matters at every term of
the district court, will be greatly
reduced. We find the roads, as
far as we can learn, in "A good con-
iition. The statement and books
of the Treasurer, we find correct IN
every particular. We have ex-
amined the parish prison, and also
find it in clearly condition.

THE RECORD.

In accordance with general
rule we have promised to give
brief history or record of the va
rious candidates who solicit the
suffrages of the people of our
parish. Last week we started with
DR.. J. f. Kelly, the nominee for
Senator, and james G. Nicely, the
nominee for Representative. This
we now follow in regular order:
JUDGE A. v. Raglan,
the Democratic candidate for re-
election to the Office of Parish
Judge, was born in Dixon county.
Tennessee, June 80, 1928. He came
to Louisiana In lSi9 aud settled in
Ouachita parish, where he engaged
in farming. In 1853 he moved in
to Bienville parish, where he re-
manned but ore year, going to Clai-
borne parish in 1855, remaining
until 1851, when he settl I'd in Winn
parish, near the present site OF
Montgomery. His occupation has
always been that of farmer Two
years ago he was elected to the Of
fee Of Parish Judge of Grant, in
which position be has since become
well known to the residents of this
parish as a fair and impartial Judge
between man and man, deciding in
all cases according to law and JUS
tice, without fear or favor on ac-
count of race or previous condi-
ton. At the parish Democratic
nominating convention he was the
unanimous choice of that body for
reelection, and now stands before
the people as candidate and
champion for the principles of the
Democratic Conservative party OF
I Louisiana.
HENRY NJ. JETER,
the Democratic candidate foi

TRUE PATRIOTISM %

ent people, in their desire to APP
pear singular and alone in the ex-
preston of a fancied freedom
from party shackles,' as they are
pleased to term it. have lost sight
of the true position they assume
when they propose to lend aid and
countenance to men who oppose
the very principles they so boast
ingly profess. The absurdity OF
man being Independent of his fell
lows and at the same time solicit
ing their votes for a position of
emolument is patent to the most
superficial observer. The truth is,
when man takes this position he
defies the obligations that public
servant owes to his people, and in
its expression he condemns him.
self as unworthy of the confidence
of his supporters, in that he will
not pledge himself to carry out the
purposes they wish their represen-
tatives to work for. So when Mr.
Brian recognizes the fact that
"there is no independence in poll
tics" and then contends that he
may be consistent and be an In
dependent candidate" he is guilty
of the grossest duplicity. In the
same way, when Mr.. Mcknight,
the Radical "rule or ruin" candi-
date for Parish Judge, comes be-
fore this people with his tri-colored
banner, inscribed with National
acknowledgement" he deals
doubly doubtful with the people OF
Grant parish. If he cares SO little
for the will and wishes of the great
mass of his own race, that, for the
sake of the pecuniary benefit Of an
Office, he is willing to ride into
power on the votes of colored men,
who are only kept united against
their own interests and the inter
ests of their white fellow-c citizens
by prejudice and hate, fostered by
the feeding of men who only care
/ to use them for a sinister purpose
then he is an enemy to society and
the welfare of his country. Nc

people at heart will thus be The

But if each grange was organized with

lowing neither business nor anything else to
interfere, we should all go to our meetings

HOW TO MAKE THE GRANGE MEETINGS
PLEASANT AND PROFITABLE.

i'm reading the notes from some OF your
correspondents, Judge that ''dry grange"
has become quite a conmon complaint, not
because the principles are not worthy rof our
sustaining the Order but for the lack of
something to entertain. 4 teacher, in en-
tering upon his duties. feels that his success
in great Aleasure depends 'on getting his
scholars interested in their studies. The
great pulpit orator said that if his audience
began leaving the church before the close of
services, he should think there was some
thing wrong with Henry Ward Beecher.
And so we know there is something wrong
with some of the oranges, but as there is no
particular leader to point to and say, he is
TO blame, we shall all have tc admit of
small amount of neglected duty.
why is the grange dry? Let us see. We
have been to grange to-day, and nothing
done but transacting business; we so home
feeling that we have had a feast, but it was
potato. Our next experience is something
similar. only it was all putnplin. All right
enough in their places, but our pampered
appetites crave not only ehange, but a va
rietv at each meal. In coming to something
for the good OF the order, il is quite custom
airy for all eyes to turn to the lecturer.
Peor fellow, how pity him. He is expect
ed. above all others, to entertain, instruct
and interest. He must be clown, orator and
teacher. or, in case he tails to perform one
of his parts. some member is called upon to
make an off-hand speech, for which he is
poorly qualified and not being prepared,
naturally blunders through sort of expert
ence speech. Or, if he says nothing, some
one else says, he has allowed another party
TO eat his rations, and has received no ben
eft from the meeting No wonder that
oranges merely exist under such misman-
agement. and am glad that the Helper has
taken hold of this much needed reform. be-
liev;ng it will call out good ideas in this
direction.
In looking over our grange. find that we
