Our district Dena0crafic Noni-
inees for the constitutional
Convention.

Last Monday the democratic con
vention for the tenth senatorial dis
trict met at Ahbeville, Nermllion
parish, and unanimously nominated
DIR. VIM. II. Kirkman, OF Calcasieu,
and Don. Gallery, Esq, of St. Mary,
for district delegates to the State
constitutional convention.
We heartily congratulate the de
mocracy of the district upon these
nominations. DIR. Kirkman has re-
sided in Calcasieu parish for more
than twenty years, Is one OF The
largest real estate owners in our
parish, is thoroughly conversant
with it's business and political in
terests, and is well known and
highly esteemed in every rortionof
the parish. Always identified with
the democratic party, his nomina-
ton, being unsougllt and uneXpect-
ed, is at once a compliment to him
and to our parish, and we earnestly
hope that the democracy OF Calca-
sieu will show their appreciation of
it, and their devotion to their party.
by giving him majority at least
as large as has ever been given by
Calcasieu at any general election,
ii not indeed larger.
Don. Gallery, ESQ.,, is resident
of Franklin, st. Mary's parish. He
is widelyknown as one of the ablest
lawyers, and one of the most fear
less champions of the democratic
party, in the State. A forcible and
eloquent speaker, and as incorrupti-
BILE as able, he will prove, if elected,
one of the most useful members of
the convention. His nomination,
too, was entirely unsolicited.
The democracy of CaIcasieu,
Cameron, Nermilion and st. Mary,
having an actual majority of at
least one Thousand, and a possible
of fifteen hundred, owe it
to themselves, to their party, to
Louisiana and to posterity, to see
that Messrs. kirsl,an and Cafiew
are elected, because il will he their
fault, aud theirs only, if they are
not. Remenber, they were imam
nominated, and should he
unanimously supported by the de
party. Remember that
the republican, party will make no
nominations, hut will, strain every
nerve to defeat the democratic par
ty, and to control the constitutional
convention, by giving its solid sup
port to independent candidates.
Remember that the future good
government Of Louisiana depends
upon the new constitution, andtl,at
no reform can possibly come from
The republican party. Remember
that the tenth district is a demo
cratic district, and that it will be
a lasting and q burning shame if
The democracy surrenderittothere-
publicans. Remember these things
and remember to vote the regular
democratic ticket.

State Reform School.

A selection of $50 acres of land has
been made upon which to locate the
State Reform School. and petition il
now being circulated, asking the city
council to submit proposition to the
qualified electors of the City of Kear-
ney, to vote bonds in the sum of S2,-
400 with which to purchase the same.
We hope the council will submit the
proposition, and the voters will ratify
it at the polls. This land must be
bought and donated to,the State, be-
fore we can get the school. and this
has to be done prior to July 1st. We
cannot afford to lose this Institution
and as all our property owners will be
benefited by its location here, all
should pay their proportion of the cost
of securing it. There is but little
doubt in our mind, but what a new
penitentiary will be built in Nebraska
before many years, and we feel conf
dent that if our people buy this land
for the Reform School, that when that
time comes we shall get the peniten-
tiary, and have them both on the
same tract of land. This will insure
an outlay in the end, of large
of N oney, will bring mechan-
cs and laborers to our town and busi-
ness to our merchants. And besides
these advantages, these institutions
will be strong leverage to bring the
Capitol to KearDey when the time
comes to move it.-Kedr7sey Press.

however, constantly, and by men who
pride themselves on their shrewdness.
Causeur, of the Boston transcript,
says he knows case in point. A
well known business man in Boston
wanted certain work done. Itrequir-
ed special professional skill which
bat few ever attain. But he found q
young man who possessed it in a
high degree, who was greatly in need
of work, and consented to work for
very small pay. The employer chuck
led. The young man went to work,
and worked on a definite plan. He
put the very best skill he had into
his work. His employers customers
were delighted. They not only liked
what he did, but they liked it so well
that they would have no other.
Again the employer chuck!ed. His
business was growing in proportions
and profit. One day the young man
asked for higher pay. His employer
said he couldn't afford it. The young
man knew that that was lie, but he
didn't say so. He kept on doing bet
ter and better. Again his en-
ployer chuckled, not alone over his
gains, but over the fact that he had,
as he thought, deceived the young
man. His confidence in his own sa-
gacity had a rude awakening one
morning when he learned that his
'dupe' had set up in business for him
self. The customers who had liked
his work would have no other. 1he
has not been able to find
any one who can just match it, at any
price, and his business is steadily 60
ing down. It doesn't pay to be too
shrewd. You may buy Things for less

Caring for Young Canaries.

Young birds require foodf a simple
kind, otherwise the system becomes
injured. Some constitutions are bet
ter able to battle with unfit food than
others. 1t dos not follow that be-
cause some of the rape-seed has been
given to the old birds to feed their
young with daily, that it should like
wise be given to theeyoung broods
when they are able to feed themselves,
for it must be understood that the food
after becoming macerated in the crops
of the old birds is prepared for the off
spring, which is not the case when
the young have to eat the food in its
natural state. The same remarks ap-
ply to green food, which may be COM
paratively harmless, when supplied
to the young from the parents crops,
but when partaken of in its crude
state by young birds able to feed them
selves, may do harm.
Young birds when weaned from the
old birds are better in cage entirely
away, otherwise fretfulness is encour-
aged. A wire PARTITION will do for a
day or so when the young are first
so that the old bird can
iced them through the wires. Anoth-
sr advantage acorues from removing
heir birds from the locality of the
breeding place. 1t is well known by
many breeders that vermin, especial

md sucking from their victims the
'lood that should assist in keeping the
'irds vigorous; and this, too, is done
mainly at roosting time, and prevents
weakness and less liability to stand

ood likely at all to disorganize their
'owels and bring on the dire COM
'laint known as the 'swelling."-

The Army.

A great many people appear to be
half scared to death at the thought of
soldier, and at the idea of keeping
a standing army is horrible to enter
tain. The Congressional farce which
has been in process of enactment at
Washington for the past several
weeks has been based upon peculiar
ideas about the army. Well, in the
first place. the army of the United
States is too magnificently small to
cause any body to shudder if the whole
Of it was drawn up in line of battle
But If it were ten times its present
size, at this stime-whatever the future
may develop-it would be perfectly
harmless. The national army is not
inclined to do injury, and it is not at
present in the American character to
suggest such thing. And while hu-
man nature remains as it is, soldiers
will be a necessity and conve enience.
Peace doctrines sound well when
preached, but practically they are a
failure. We are compelled to keep
an army of some kind wherever there
is any large number of people. Out
on the plains we keep an army for de-
fense against the savage; in our cities
we keep an army for defense against
the civilized. While Congress has
been Ohjecting to having a soldier
dressed in light blue and carrying a
musket at the polls on election day,
it is a well known fact that in every
city there are soldiers dressed in dark
blue and carrying pistol and club
at every:ballot-box. The only differ
ence is that one is called a soldier and
the other policeman. Take away
from the polling places the city sold
iers and the majority of the ballot
boxes would be unsafe and thousands
of people would be prevented from
voting. They do nothing unless there
is disturbance of the peace or a good |
prospect that it will be disturbed. I'll
a United State soldier did no more, |
he might sit on top of the ballot box,
and no one would be harmed. Ifl
either he or a city policeman should |
to do more, he would suffer
severe punishment, and the man or
men who encouraged him would meet
with a rebuff that would be effectual. |
We do not make these remarks by |
way of upholding any political party |
in this present Congressional contest. |
This paper has nothing to do with |
partizan politics. But we refer to the
subject to show that there is probably |
an undue amount of sensitiveness
about the law that authorizes the en-
ployment of soldiers at the polls.
make good policemen. After
the BOstonsfire soldiers patrolied the
streets in the place of the regular po-
lice, and the city never saw better or
der. While they were willing to SLIM
ply do their duty, and while their
are honest and patriots,
they are valuable. If they were in
cIined to overstep their authority,
whether it be private or officer. there
is power enough to punish them, and
the men, and not the system, are to
blame. Even our little Insignificant
army saved this country thousands
and probably millions of dollars du-
ring the riots of the summer of 1877.
THE country does not need a large
army, but it needs some
thing OF an army, and one that can be
depended on in any emergency.-
