THE reason, we understand, why
the Republicans have sent no speakers
to Louisiana to assist in the campaign,
is because the Republicans North dc
not want to see that State go Republi-
can. The Democratic party of that
good State are not prone to be very
respectful to the wants and desires OF
the machine Republican politicians,
but is our deliberate opinion that in
this particular instance due Difference
will be paid to their wishes. We
don't see how it could be otherwise.
This writer was in Louisiana few
weeks since, and had the pleasure OF
hearing the Democratic nominees
speak at Vidalia, and the enthusiasm
displayed by the colored voters pres
ent on that occasion was so great for
the Democrats that we believe the
fondest hopes of the aforesaid Repub-
licans will be realized. The film is
fast falling from the eyes of the Louisi-
ana negro, and he sees that the DEM
ocratic party is the best party for him,
and seeing this he has joined hands
with the white people for an honest,
competent and economical govern
ment. If any fear is entertained by
the Republican party, North, that
Louisiana will not go Democratic,
there is not the slightest cause for it..
1t is imaginary and should be at once
dispelled.

The Second Bid.

At the Larned street horse market yester-
doy morning the boy led out a bundle OF
flesh and bones, and the auctioneer mount
ed his box and began;
"Hark! What was that? Did somebody
say one hundred and fifty dollars, or was
it the signing of the wind? Very well-give
me bid. This is horse. Ill warrant il
to be. Detroiters are known the world
over as modest men, but don't let that feel.
ing prevent you from making one of the
best bargains ever offerd in this market.
Who bids:n
''Fifteen centsi' called a voice.
Fifteen centsl" screamed the auctioneer
as he wheeled around. "Where is the po>
liece? who dares make that offer? What
base caitiff has wormed his way into this
crowd to insult me and injure the feelings
of this poor animal?"
"Twenty cents!" cried another voice.
"Ah! that proves that did not misjudge
this crowd when said it was composed of
gentlemen, and the horse is yours. Make
change here with the clerk and take your
prize away before he falls dead and OBJ
structs the sidewalk. Free Press.

District Attorney.

The election of Hon. Thos. S. Ford
as District Attorney of the 7th Judi
cial District, is compliment worthily
bestowed upon an able and efficient
officer. The honor is Of double force
from the fact that Maj. I'll. S. Terrall
his opponent, is Democrat, man OF
ability and worth, and is quite popular
in the counties where he is known,
and has a great many influential
friends who worked with energy to Sc
cure his election. Capt. Ford has a
great deal of personal popularity
throughout the district, and in the
coast and adjoining counties, probably
there is no public man who has more
friends or influence than he, which fact
was demonstrated in the vote he re-
ceived on the 4th.-Pascagoula Star
Democrat.

A story is told of a teacher who was
talking to her scholars regarding the

profitable subject and one in which
they took an uncommon interest. She
told them the angels came first in per-

next and was readily answered by one
boy, "man," she felt encouraged to

Out of Politics

We learn verbally that the Greenback or
gan at Jackson-the gay and festivess Inde-
pendent has pulled down its flag and pass
ed in its checks; or in other words, given
up the ghost. We are not surprised at this
as the greenbackers are practically no more
in politics than prohibitioi.ists or socialists
In New York its vote has fallen from 75,
600 to less than 10000; in Ohio from 49,
900 to II, ,00C; in Pennsylvania from S1,-
600 to 10, 900; in Wisconsin from 10000 to
zero, and SO on through the list of States.

The star shower which was promised for

not make its appearance. 1t is predicted,
however, by Professor Proctor and other
astronomers, thai there will be fine mete-

25th and December lst. About that time
the earth will pass across the path of the
comet Biela. This will be the first passage of
the earth athwart the track of the comet
