The Buffalo Courier correspondent re-
views the business situation in metaphor,
As follows; " Hardly day mas passed with
out some victims finding himself stripped
and left naked before the world. The
same sort of thing has been happening all
along of course but 1888 has seen much
more than the average share of it. No great
cyclones have taken place, but there has been
steady bad weather, with occasional smart
gales, which proved disastrous to many
small craft caught unprepared, as nearly all
small craft which attempt to navigate the
dangerous waters of Wall steet usually are
caught. 1t was estimated not long ago that
the shrinka9e of the various Wall street Sc
curities in two years has not been less than
thousand million dollars

Suited mud Not suited.

A man living within half dozen miles OF
Lewiston, Me-, was about to be married,
but the state Of his finances precluded the
purchase of new suit of clothes for the occa-
sion, SO he restored to diplomacy. He went
70 clothing store and, selecting an ap-
propriate suit, told the proprietor that he
would like to take them home, and if his
family liked them he would pay for them.
The proprietor agreed to this proposal. The
man returned the next morning radiant and
bland, saying his folks did not like the
clothes, and thought he had better not keep
them. The groom had, however, been the
best dressed man at the wedding.

The election news for several days
has been in muddle, but at the
hour we go to press it seems to have
cleared mp enough to inspire rea-
: sonable hope that Cleveland and
Hendricks are elected.
We give our Democratic cock a
chance to crow. He crows for the
success of the National Democracy,
and if that should not prove GER
tainty, still let him crow, for Kellogg
is beaten, and that is glory enough

Says the Loudonville Democrat :
" There is growing feeling in
healthy communities against jour-
nails which make it their special
object to minister to a perverted
taste by seeking out and serv.
ing up in a seductive form dis
gusting and licentious revelations.
There is good reason to believe that
the clean newspaper is more highly
priced today than it was four or five
years ago. 1t is safe to predict that,
as people in all ranks of life who
protect their own, at least, from
contamination, become more con-
scious of the pernlcious influence of
a certain class of journals called en-
terprising because they are ambi-
tious to serve up dirty scandals, they
will be careful to see that the jour.
nails they permit to be read in the
family circle are The class that never
forget the proprieties of life."

Says Robertson: "There is a
strange jar upon the mind in the
funeral, when the world is felt to be
going on as usual. Traffic and pleas
ure do not alter when our friend lies
in the upper chamber. The great
busy world rolls on, unheeding, and
our egotism suggests the thought,
So will it be when am not. The
world, whose, very existence seems
linked with mine, and to subsist
only in mine, will not be altered by
my dropping out of it. Perhaps a
few tears, and then all that follow
me and love me now will dry them
up again. I am but bubble on the
stream here today and then gone.
This is painful to conceive. 1t is
one of the pledges of our immortal
ity that we long to be remembered
after death; it is quite natural.n

eclipsing arena everything challenges
attention and admiration, while the
elegance and decorum with which

Books and Newspapers.

Long ago the wise man wrote
s'that of making many books there
is no end, and that much study is a
WEAKNESS of the flesh" There is
certainly an inexhaustable supply in
the land now, and the press turns out
daily almost numbarless Volumes
Enterprising houses are publishing
in paper covers whole volumes at
merely nominal prices. For example,
the works of J. Fennimore Cooper,
and other popular writer's, who -four
ished in the first half of this century,
are printed in small type, and the
whole series furnished at prices
which only few years since would
have hardly paid for single volume
The complete works of Charles Dick
ems can be purchased at price that
at one time would have been consid-
cred marvel T. S. Arthur's popu-
lar temperance story, "Ten-Nights in
a Bar Room" which sold for $1.25 a
copy when first issued, has beeu adj
vertised for sale, in paper covers, at
cents per copy. The same may be
said of many other works of fiction,
which in former days were very pop
ular, and had large sale. It is true
the type used is small, and the paper
and binding are inferior, but at the
prices mentioned, every one wishing
to do so, may procure entertaining
reading. But with the masses
the day of books has well nigh
passed away, and newspapers have
to large degree been substi-
tuted in their stead. In many fami-
lies, the reading is confined to an oc-
casional chapter in the Bible, and one
or two religious books, and then from
one to half dozen newspapers. The
truth is, under the high pressure un-
der which most people now live, there
is little time for much reading of any
sort. Generally, the papers are
glanced over hurriedly each day and
thrown aside, and Sundays set apart
for a little religious thought and
reading, and that is the whole of it.
Of course, this remark only applies
to the majority. There are many who
have the time and inclination to read,
and these not only keep abreast with
the news of the day, but are fully
informed on most of the subjects
which interest the minds of the great
leaders in thought-of the writer's
who go beneath the surface IN the
discussion of the various topics
which interest men of profound learn
ing and research. But the masses
have no time to engage in Studying
these things. The newspaper having
such an important place to fill, has
grave responsibilities to meet. Not
only the matter which is furnished,
but the manner IN which it is pre-
sented, should receive careful consid-
Grafton. All that is corrupt and de-
basing should be carefully exclnded,
and that alone presented whose ten
dency would be to purify and elevate
The prosperity and real growth of
the country depends on the virtue of
the people, and great deal depends
on the quality of the reading, whether
there is instilled in the hearts and
minds of the people the right princi-
pies.

True wit is merely buckler for

wholesome fear, and the knowledge

Riot at Fausse Point.
Special to the Shreveport Times

Special to the Shreveport Timesl
New iberia, LA, Nov. 3.-The riot
at Loreauville, this parish, qberia)
last Saturday was the most deplora-
BILE and bloody afray ever perpetrat-
ed in this parish. Instead of six ne
groes and two whites killed, as first
reported, it is 16 negroes and two
whites killed. It is hard to tell the
number wounded, but it is safe to
say 20 atleast Some 10 or IL horses
were killed on the battle field
Houses and trees In the vicinity are
iterarally covered with scars from
flying bulleta. The negroes stamped
ed, jumping in the bayou where some
drowned from exhaustion. They ran
to the woods and across the fields,
some having received wounds in the
affray and dropped dead along the
roads, In the fields and in the woods.
Captain Bell, large sugar planter,
and Mr.. Joseph Gilfaux, both white
Democrats, were killed instantly
The funerals of these two gentlemen
took place yesterday and were the
largest ever seen in this parish. The
people at and around Fausse Point
are very indignant and it is reported
that they swear vengeance. The
parties arrested as accessories are
Judge Fontelieu, his two brothers
and son and about six others They
are still confined in jail at this place
Their preliminary examination did
not come of to-day as was expected,
owing to the want of witnesses and
the absence of the District Attorney.
They will have to remain in Jail until
after the election. It will go hard
with them as they are the leading
white Republicans of this parish
Everything is quiet now and no fur
ther trouble is anticipated.
