Cor. Elm & Lamar Streets.

The Counters and Tables in this
Department fairly groan beneath their
loads of NEW SPRING GOODS, in
every variety Of Fabric and of every con-
ceivable Pattern. Where in previous
seasons we have shown ten styles, this
Spring we offer fifty styles, and, while
heretofore our prices have always been
LOWER THAN THE LOWEST, our
tremendous purchases this season will
permit us to name such rediculously low
prices that the prices of former years
will, in comparison, seem quite high.
We have accomplished three things this
Spring, which cannot fail to please the
people, viz, we have improved our
styles; we have bettered our workman
ship; we have lowered our prices, which
joined to the fact that we show an as
sortment from which to select larger
than would be the combined stocks of
all other clothiers in the city, renders
our store the only place in the State
where judicious persons can get the best
value for the least money,
Other houses may name prices for GER
tain qualities and styles of suits, but let
them be ever SO low, we will sell our
goods for lower price. We have guar
anteed our prices to be the lowest, and
the matter of cost shall not keep us from
making our guarantee good
Our business suits for $40, $12 and
S15 can not fail to astonish you in the
quality and elegance.

Monroe Bulletin. !


The old Federal party inclined to
nstionalism. or consolidation, rather
than liberalization of the State. The
original Republican. and afterwards
Democratic, party believed in the
sovereignty of the State and the Fed
eral or Confederate character of the
Union. The Wing party favored .
strong central government The
"Know Nothing" or American party,
was based upon opposition to the al
legged overgrowth Of the political in
fuence of naturalized foreigners and
of the Roman Catholic church. The
Republican party absorbed the vitsi
principles Of the old Federal and
Wing parties and added to it "squat-
ter sovereignty" or the right Of the
territories to forbid the introduction
of slavery in their midst and aboli-
tionism or the right to destroy the
institution of negro servitude as it
then existed in the States. The
Greenback party want the countr,
flooded with paper money. The tenn
persnce party are for making every
man sober and industrions-a bread
winner instead of an expense to some
laboriDg woman.

that this is being done to connect ST.
Louis with this portion of country in

How tho Rich Get Richer at the Expense
Of the Poorer Taxpayers.
IN. o. City Item.l

The appraisers appointed by the
Civil District Court have fled an in
ventory Of the properly of the Burn
side estate situated in the parish of
Ascension. Its publication yesterday
created widespread criticism of the
value placed upon the several splen-
did plantations. The entire tableau
footed up less than half million
dollars, while the crop of last year
alone amounted to six hundred thou
sand dollars of values, and the yield
of the present year is believed will
be still greater.
But low as is the appraisement by
the court appointees, it is princely
liberal as compared with the vaIua-
tions made by the State Assessor as
q basis for taxation. The entire
Burnside assessment in Ascension
parish for the year 1881 is but little
over a quarter of q million dollars
disgraceful fact illustrating what
the Item has repeatedly charged as
being charged throughout the State,
viz: that the wealthy taxpayers are
systematically favored through un-
dsrvaluation, and thus escape, as
compared with the taxpayes of small
or only moderate means, their fair
proportion of the public burden.
The Burnside assessment should of it.
self make every honestly taxed prop
erty-owner earnest and unremitting
in his effort to secure from the next
Legislature Board Of Equalization.
Here is the statement of the Court
Appraisers and of the State Assessor
compared:

The popular idea that newspaper
people are dead-heads, is very pop
ular error. There is no interest on
earth that is expected to and actually
does. give so much to society with
out pay, as the press Instead of
being dead-heads. newspapers are
the victims Of dead heads. Not q
day passes but they are imposed up
on by the public. Every newspaper
man in this or any other city will
bear us out in what we say. As q
matter of fact, the editor endures
more genuine dead-heading than any
other in the world The pulpit, the
bar, the drama, religious and charita-
BILE societies, 6nantial and industrial
corporations. everybody who expects
to be anything, draws upon the lib
erty Of the press. A fellow "gives"
to the editor q pass to twenty five
cent show, aud then expects ten dol
lars worth of advertising. A weak
enterprise is sought to be established,
and the press is called upon to give
it strength and encouragement. An
actor becomes the editors mortal en-
envy, If the man of Fabers does not
bestow upon him dollars and dollars
in free advertising. The dull author
expects the press to say he is live
and entertaining; the quack consid-
ers it the newspapers duty to tell
the world that he il honorable and
