The "Claiborne Guardian" says
"The candidates which the papers
are bringing to the front and the
manner in which this question is be-
ing discussed show one thing which
we are pleased to note, and that is
that the sentiment of the country
calls for a change and ring methods
are no longer wanted. We are for
Nichols for the reason that we think
he is the most available man. There
are other men iast as good, but they
are not as available. Nichols is
the man to beat the ring and restore
honest government"
The Bossier banner., 1883-05-24

Considering the little good and
great evil the various legislatures
have caused the State since the war,
some people think the State would
not suffer as much without session
of the legislature for ten years as it
would with one. If the government
will enforce the law strictly against
criminals, the good citizens can get
along with very little legislation,
and the less the better.-St. Landry

The yoke of bondage placed upon
the people of Europe by the tyranny
OF their rulers, is likely to break
All the crown heads are IN constant
fear, expecting every day to be blown
into eternity by the power of dynam-
ite. Yet with all the fear of the
fatal results of that powerful explo-
sive, they are not even making an
attempt to ease the burdens that rest
upon their subjects; but on the other
hand are using brute force in order
to bring them under their selfish con-
troll. This, we think, is the effect that
is produced by disposition of a few
to live in grandeur at the expense of
the many. So eager are these mon
archs to keep the people poor and in
condition whereby they can pldnder
them of their earnings, that in the
very face of death they set the clamp
a little closer. And all Europe having
stood this until it is unbearable, have
taken dangerous weapon and will
use it by an organization of men and
women who are sworn to die rather
than yield. Hanging few or many
will not stop the destruction of life
and property, and the sooner those
great barbarous rulers get down off
their thrones and give unto their sub
jects what they want--which is iber-
ty-the sooner will this terror that
reigns over their country, be brought
to an end. But, like Pharaoh, king
of Egypt, they will no doubt hold to
and oppress the people until Almighty
vengence viii be poured in such
terrible torrents upon them that the
drowning of the Egyptians viii be a
small comparison.

THURSDAY, ,:::::::::::::::::::"::::MAY "a, 1883.
Under the new postal Law the fourth

Under the new postal law the fourth
class post offices are allowed one
hundred per cent on the first fifty
dollars worth of stamps cancelled in
stead of sixty per cent. Under the
old law the postmaster that cancelled
fifty dollars worth of stamps received
thirty dollars and cancelled 1866
stamps. Under the new law he viii
receive thirty dollars for canceling
thirty dollars worth, and will cancel
1,500 stamps, thereby making the
same and canceling 166 fewer stamps.
But after the first fifty dollars worth
are sold the per cent drops to the old
price, thus causing him to do more
work for the money. In offices of less
than first class, there is 80 advance
and one-third more work for the
same money, SO that from the appear
ance of the law it is simply reduc-
tion of the post masters wages to be
distributed among the people, and
the parties mailing the most letters
viii get the largest end of the redue-
tion, and, unless it has the effect of
increasing the amount of mail, will
be OF no material difference to the
government. This law must have
been gotten up by Congress taking
pattern after the manufacturing insti-
tutions that always take from their
workmen all that the article is redue-
ed, or little more, leaving the man
ufacturer the same profit as before,
under the pretence that reduction
in the price of the article will give
larger sales and hence more and
steady work, which always adds to
the income of the manufacturer and
only costs the workman few more
drops of sweat or few more hours
of labor each day. Thus it will ever
be that the poor ye have always with
you, and upon them the burden can
be cast.

The United States guaranteed the
payment of bonds issued for the con-
struction of the Pacific roads, and
by the time these bonds mature the
Central Pacific Company viii owe the
Government forty-six million dollars
and the Union Pacific twenty-five mil
lion dollars. The net earnings of the
first named company last year were
over nine and quarter millions, and
OF the latter over twelve millions
The Thurman act, providing for a
Government Sinking Fund from pro-
ceeds of these roads, requires that it
shall be invested IN United States
bonds which draw only little over
three per cent. Attempts have been
made to amend the law so as to se-
cure the investment of the fund in
the six per cent first mortgage bonds
OF the companies but so far without
success, and tussel between these
two giant corporations and the peo-
pie must ensue before the latter get
back the large sum of money which,
in addition to an empire of lands,
they reeklessly shoveled into the
capacious NAV of the corporations.
Thurman himself is badly needed
back in the Senate as one of the very
few public men of ability enough to
cope with the corporation minions
who are not controlled by them.

A Wrong Impression.


There seems to be wrong impress
sion in the minds of many, that capi-
tai must be centered in the hands OF
few individuals to accomplish any
great good toward the improvement
of the country. We confess that we
are not fully satisfied with the present
condition of things, and believe they
could be bettered by the rightful dis
tribution of capital among its pro-
ducers. The Anti-monopolist would
not bring this about by distributing
wealth already centered in the hands
of few, but by striving to retain
their rightful possessions, and in this
way capital would be better distribut-
ed among the people, and would do
far greater works in building rail-
roads, levees, canals, bridges and
general public work. The argument
that money in the hands of one man
does good in paying poor men for
labor, and also, in improving the
country only shows a narrow view
OF this great question. We cannot
afford to take the surface view while
we let the deep truth that lies be-
meath go unnoticed. The very prin-
ciples of our government rest upon
the broad views in a governmental
sense that we take of the labor and
capital question from a material
standpoint. In the first place, laws
should not be made to centralize the
government unto the power of king
or council, that they may rule the
government; and, in the second place,
laws should not be made to centralize
capital into the hands of few men
SO they May rule the material wealth
of this nation. The two ideas also
bear marked relation to the liber-
ties of the people, and it is the work
OF the Banner to preach the gospel
OF true Republican government that
shall give perfect national liberty to
all, and not conflict with the right or
of any worthy work.
