three quarters of an hour of this kind of un-
pleasantness, hired man by the name OF
Johu Burke interfered, and Nevins struck him
three times on the head causing his face to
bleed badly, and also pressing Burke against
the granary, began choking him. After about
fifteen minutes Burke hollered for help, and

Political Debauchery.

The example and influence of the
Republican party during a protract-
ed enjoyment of power have had a
tendency to introduce and establish
corrupt and dangerous political
methods, and substitute sordid and
unworthy motives for those which lie
at the foundation of a republic if it
is to be enduring We are perfectly
aware that until the millennium ar
rives it is idle and unreasonable to
expect that human nature will be so
purged of its weaknesses and rise so
superior to all selfish considerations
that it's political manifestations will
be in entire accord with the teach.
Jugs of the Golden Rule. But the
Republican policy has been in the
line of steady and increasing politi.
cal debaachery. The Democrats
would prefer the logic of ideas and
patriotic considerations to that of
dollars. But in this grasping age
the dollars turn the scale, other
things being equal. tits upon their
money bags. and not upon their
principles, that the Republicans rely.
They know their money will still
pass current, while their principles
have been issued by Il bank of prom
Uses whose charter was long since
revoked. The Republican party has
systematically purchased several
States for years, aud to accomplish
this it has exacted hard earned per
centages from all the employees of
the Federal Government, and made
the public funds contribute TO it's
success to an extent that is shame
full and tearfully tac'noralizing. 1t
has reached point where it does
not even attempt to conceal its prac-
tice of wholesale bribery, taking it
for granted that it has educated pub
lie sentiment down to it's own vile
level. We trust, for the credit of
our institutions aud our people, that
the Republicans may be made to see
that, even with their millions, they
cannot purchase the honest and free
opinions of the mass of American
citizens.

Let the sectional fanatics once learn
chat the people will not support
them, and then one eternal peace
will prevail from one end of our
Union to the other, and all will join
hands in working for the general
good of one common country. Here
in the Democracy are right--they
are to be chosen before those who
are constantly attempting to ride

adopt them. Our people united, no

Advertising Advantages.

Advertising Advantages.
This is in all respects an era of
progress, and all branches of bust.
ness in order to be rendered remu-
nerative, must be pressed with ener-
gy. If man engaged in mercantile
or other pursuits, hopes to ascend in
the financial scale, he must take
some means to let the world know
who he is, what he has to sell or
transact, and the terms on which his
goods will be parted with or the ar
rangement he is willing to make to
secure his business services. To sit
idly and think that the busy world
will note you is preposterous. You
might as we'll expect to read on a
dark night from tallow candles hid
under box. People now need
counting. They must be wooed for
their trade. There is too much to
sell and too many engaged to expect
trade to follow without offering
some inducement to secure it. Hav-
ing decided to speak to the public,
the next question for a business man
to consider is the source through
which he will make his wants or
offers known. In advertising, like
every other branch of business, the
object should be to get as much as
possible for the least remuneration.
In laying claims before the public,
there are several considerations to
be considered. First of all, is to be
weighed the extent Of patronage a
paper enjoys in the way of subscrip-
ton and the class or condition of its
subscribers, and second the prices
charged for advertising. So far as
the Banner is concerned we have no
special pleading to put up. The
business of the paper speaks for
itself. In the matter of adverting,
We feel no hesitation in asserting
that no journal Of a similar charac.
ter in this country has ever been
more fortunate in securing to its adj
vertising patrons . just return for
the money they have invested.
The Banner is well established
and is the only paper published in
Bossier-containing all the legal ad.
vertising, ETC., Of the parish-hence
it is read by q class that no other
paper is closely scanned by. II dry
goods merchants, grocery dealers
and others would think for a mo-
ment, they would naturally come to
the conclusion that a general dis.
play in the Banner, going as it does
to the hearthstones Of so many fam.
lilies in Bossier parish, is bound in
tho end to rebound to their business
advantage.
We have thrown out these sug.
gesti0ns now at the threshold of the
fall trade. We hope they may be
productive Of mutual advantages.
