Some time ago we called on the
City Item to investigate the question of
Gen. Ogden's favoring poll tax of
$3.50 per capita, in his candidacy in
1879 and establish the accuracy or
maccuracy of our memory. In another
column will be found letter by Ellis
tory" which not only proves we were
correct, but goes even farther and pla-
ces Gen. Ogden before the people in
most unenviable light. We call
special attention to Gen. Ogden's let
ter to the constitutional convention
wherein he urgently urges upon that
body, not only, to increase the poll tax
to $3.50 each, butto make the paymentV
the poll tao a prerequisite to the right Of
q nan to cote.
What think you of that, free citizens
Of Louisiana!
Would not such law make a gov
eminent of aristocrats?
Suppose such law was in force TO-
day, how many people In this parish
would be permitted to express their
choice at the pools as to who should
govern them?
Is it not matter Of fact, well known
to us all, that large majority of the
people in this parish if required to pay
$3.50 to vote, could not do so?
Would not the consequence be that
this Parish would be governed by an
insignificant minority?
You citizens of Louisiana, and espe-
cially of the parish of Natchitoches
must bear this in mind; that Gen.
Fred. N. Ogden is the candidate for
Governor who has advocated this afro
cious policy. He is the man who de-
sires to rob you of what is dearer to
you than life-your right to vote.
It remains with YOU to express at
the polls on the gath of November,
your unqualified dispproval of, and
your emphatic dissent against such
doctrine by electing delegates who will
vote for Samel Douglass McEnery, the
peoples man. Natchitoches Vindica-
tor.

SAYS an exchange: The reject
for the building of a new hotel in New
Orleans seems to have taken practical
shape. The committee and sub-d om-
mittees appointed to select a site and
arrange all preliminaries have report
ed. Canal street, if possible, between
Rampant and Basin, is selected as the
site; hotel to cost s350,0O0, inclu-
ding furniture, is recommended. The
ground will probably cost sl50,000.
Upon the report of the committee, an
other committee, consisting of thirty
prominent citizens, was appointed to
solicit subscriptions. Chamette is the
name agreed upon. The committee
propose to submit estimates which will
show that the investment will realize
from fifteen to twenty per cent. in
terest.

CLEANING GLovEs.-One OF the SIM
plest and best ways by which light.col
ored kid gloves can be cleaned is this:
Put the gloves on your hands, take an
old and very soft linen handkerchief, wet
it in sweet milk, and rub it on piece Of
white soap-castile or any toilet soap
will answer the purpose--then apply to
the soiled parts Of the glove; do this I'M
til the soiled spots disappear; then wet
the entire glove and pull it and stretch
It, and rub until it is dry. One word Of
caution should be added to the above:
Lavender colored kid gloves cannot be
cleaned in this way. as they will fade and
look spotted.

Poison IN PoTAToEs.- person
should buy their potatoes of grocery
men who let them stand in front of their
stores in the sun. Potatoes belong to
the "Solanum" family, of which the
deadly night shade is one of its full
brothers. All branches Of the family
contain more or less of that poisonous
narcotic called "solanipe." The bulb,
or potato, contains the least of this, un-
less they are exposed to the sun, which
rapidly develops this element. Long
exposure to the light, without the direct
sun, will develop the solanine in the po-
tato and make an article unfit for food.
But exposure to the sun is SO injurious
to the potato, making it not only un-
palatable. but actuelly injurious to
health, that any grocer for the offense of
selling potatoes which have been exposed
two or three days to the sun ought to be
indicted for selling unhealthy and dam
gsrous human od.-Albany Journal.

Every Farmer His Own Agent.

We have been informed by the Port
land bra nch house of G.. Westinghouse
& Co., Schenectady, N. Y, manufac.
turers of threshing machines, engines,
etc.. that they contemplate doing bust.
ness in q new manner, providing the
farmers give them proper encouragement
in SO doing. Their method is for the
farmers to order goods direct from the
Portland house, and in that manner save
the large commission paid local agents.
We should think the farmers should take
the opportunity of showing the above
firm that they appreciate this new move.
We would advise farmers with old worn
out machinery to lay it aside and pur.
chase a new Westinghouse machine.
Always bear in mind that an old worn
out machine of any kind is detriment.
They fully warrant all machines sold by
them, and they guarantee their engines
to run with one-third less fuel and water
than any engine in the market. Their
thresher is Incorporating machine,
and is making friends wherever known.
Write to them at Portland for prices and
terms.

also in the livery business for a time. In
1870 he was appointed to position in the
L. S. Railroad Postal service, which necss-
STATED the removal of his family to Dover,
Del, which town he has since made his
home. Two years ago he resigned this po
sition and entered into the flour and feed
business in Dover, in which he was doing
II tlourishing business at the time of his
death. The disease which carried him off
first made its appearance as n simple cold,
of which had he laid by and nursed himself
he possibly might have recovered. His de-
votion to business however forbade his Civ
ing up, and he continued daily to attend
at his store until he WAS entirely Frustrated
