What is Democracy, and who
are DelnOcrats2

4
The State Democratic Convention
held at Baton Rouge last December,
passed the following resolutions:
We declare our hostility to the entire
principle OF lottery dealings. The con-
stitution declares gambling to be vice,
yet it encourages that. vice in its worst
form, not only melting to breaches OF
faith and embezziement in the effort to
| get rich on the turn of the wheel, but
demOrallzlng society, cOrrupting politics
and impending legislation and we de-
mand that the Legislature to be chosen
at the ensuing election shall enact such
legal measures as are necessary for their
suppression.
ResOlUed, That the convict labor of
the State should be appropriated and
assigned to labor on the public levees,
under the direction and control of the
State authorities, by such legislation as
may be necessary.
These resolutions are law to the par
ty on these subjects.
The State constitution abolished the
monopoly feature of the Lottery, by au-
thorizing the legislature to charter other
lotteries.
The present legislature was elected
after the adoption Of the resolutions
above quoted, and both. bodies Of it are
almost entirely Democratic, so called.
This legislature voted down bill to
submit an amendment to the people to
abolish the lottery voted down i bill
to charter other lotteries that would de-
stroy the monopoly of the present one !;
voted down abill to return to the State
its convict labor; ann also voted down
a bill to return to the people the privi-
lege OF eiecting their police jurors.
The resolutions adopted by the Dem
ocratic party in a State convention have
thus been actively violated by Demo-
cratic legislature elected under these
resolutions.
The promises to the people have
therefore been violated, and political
party that does this is not worthy of
trust. The same faction of the party
that controlled the State convention
that passed these resolutions, has con-
trolled the legislature that violated
them.
What therefore is Democracy, and
who are Democrats

The special committee appointed to
investigate the sale of lands in the par
ishes Of Calcasien and contiguous par
ishes, by the State, to land syndicates,
submitted report at the night session
OF Thursday, in which they state that
considerable lands have been entered
there for 121 cents per acre that are not
subject to overflow, but the quality of
such lands are such as not to justify the
State to go to an expense for their re-
covery. They say that while errors may
have been committed in the sale OF these
lands, yet they do not think there was
any intention to defrand the State. -
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, July 9Th.

swamp land are being sold at wholesale

the miserable price Of twelve and half
cents per acre; and the terror" as to
their being swamp lands is not discoV-

thereby suffered; but the proceeds is

HGayeS in Horses,

The ailments almost exclusively con-
| fined to mature animals. 1t is due
mainly to the use of feed of a bulky
character, but dusty hay and grain, as
vel as clover hay, are a so prolific
causes OF it. One form OF it is general
! ly produced by O. hard gallop or other
severe exertion after Il full meal. In
the South the disease is generally known
as bellows" and in the prairie States
it is comparatively rare There is no
certain cure for it, but broken-winded
horses will, if properly fed, do great
deal OF service, though the work as
signed them should be slow. The feed
should be. in o small compass, and given
| sguiarly four times day. 1t should
consist OF oats, beans, wheat straw,
chat, ttrnips or carrots, with at night
q little bright, hard-stalked hay, free
from dust. Clean, cured corn-stalks, in.
small quantity, have also proved benefi-
clal. Grain and grass should be the
chief feed i'll summer, and grain with
roots in winter. Water should be al.
lowed sparingly at time, and the horse
should never be used for an hour or SO
after being fed or watered Arsenic in

dealers, as in nearly all cases it effects q
temporary cure more or less complete.
They usually begin with three grains a
day, increasing to five a day in week,
and continue for three OF four weeks,
giving from ten to twelve grains daily
towards the end. This, however, is not
q remedy we would recommend to horse
owners who wish to use their horses.
Dealers employ it because it removes
the disease at least temporarily. AS the
appetite is morbidly raveno,Is, leading
the affected animal to cat the litter, ETC.,
the bedding should be removed by day
and the horse be muzzled by night. A
lump of rock salt at one end OF tic man
ger and a chunk of chalk at the other
have been found beneficial. -RurGt New
