The Nineteenth Century Wonder. The
Rare and Wonderful siamese White
Elephant.
To secure this white wonder of the
Orient, vast expenditure has been re-
quired, and thousands of miles travelled
by our agents. in distant and Pagan
lands. All these things are matters of
the past, and count as nothing in com
parison with the fact that the Great Fore
paugh Show now presents to the people
of the United States Sacred White Ele-
-phant of Siam, or, as it is styled in the
country of its capture, Chang Peuk.
This Geological Deity of Eastern lands
is Of ordinary size, for it's age five years,
is a female, without tusks. Its color
is freak of nature. In Siam, Birmah,
Cambodla and elsewhere in Indo- Chinese
Territory, this singular animal is be-
lieved to be the abode of the Pagan Del
ty, Buddha, and as such is venerated and
wershiped. 1t is the rarest of all rare
animals, and Mr.. Vincent, in his interes
ting work entitled the Land Of the
White Elephant" asserts that only TWEEN
/. ty-four were captured during thirteen
hundred and fiftytwo years. This won
derful creature is exhibited in the Great
Forepaugh Show which will be at Albert

No one goes before us in wishing
well to our country. We wish to
see every part of it prosper, every
local interest thrive and every Sec
ton blessed with plenty and happi-
ness. We are firmly convinced that
diversified industries are promotive
of the best interests of the whole
country and of every locality. Man
ufacturers should go hand in hand
with agriculture, and commerce is the
hand-maiden of both. We rejoice at
the construction of railroads, at the

Louisiana Newspapers.


The Minden Democrat has entered
its 18th year. The paper is now in
a high-tide of success, upon which
fact we congratulate friend Drew.
That sturdy Democratic paper, al
ways battling for honest government
and always highly interesting in it's
editorial department, the Claiborne
Guardian, has recently entered its
eighth year.
The Morehouse Clarion is one of
the brightest and handsomest coun-
try papers on our exchange list, and
its appearance is always awaited with
interest. With it's issue of last Fri
day it closed it's tenth volume. The
Clarion merits all the success it has
secured.
Last Saturday the Ouachita Tele-
graph closed its 10Th volume. We
hope it may continue its steady and
reliable work for years to come. The
Telegraph is consistently Democratic,
careful in its judgments, correct in
it's views, and sound in all its tenden-
cies. It wears it's years well, and has
all the energy and enterprise of youth.
The New Orleans Picayune entered

has the Picayune been so ably and
well-conducted as under its present
management. This excellent daily is
one of the newsiest and ablest pub
lished in the South.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat

"a pages, and big pages at that. 1t

of information about the trade and
growth of the Southern States
These ''trade" issues of the more pre-
tentious dailies at the South do q
good work in bringing forward and
presenting in desirable form statistics
and facts illustrating the increase in
wealth and industrial resources OF
their section. 1t is peculiar phase
in journalism, and shows that South
ern editors whose papers are well
sustained have enterprise and are
liberal in their expenditures for pub.
lie purposes.

The Surplus Robbery.

The thoughtful suggestions of
Gov. Hendricks in his Indianapolis
speech on the subject of collecting
revenue from the people in excess of
the necessities of the government
are worthy of the most careful con-
sideration. On this as on all ques-
tons relating to the affairs of gov
eminent the Democratic candidate
for Vice President is singularly for
chile and clear. He shows the broad
mind of experienced craftsmanship
and the careful regard for the rights
of individuals that has always char
acterized his public acts, and points
out the distinction between private
rights and public necessities under
the constitution.
Recognizing the right of the gov
eminent in emergencies to take pri-
vate property for public use and
transfer the citizen from the peaceful
pursuits of private life to the hazar-
deus occupation of military service,
Gov. Hendricks asks how far this
right may be carried? That is a
question Of the utmost Importance.
Happily it may be answered, and
while public men preserve their in
tegrity and maintain their courage
the tendency of the government to
go beyond the limit will be restrain
ed. Gov. Hendricks himself points
out the dividing line with great ac-
curacy. He says: "There shall be
no limitation or restraint on the alb
solute and entire maintenance of
public authority with all of it's facul-
ties and functions unimpaired.-
Whatever the government can law
fully do, and of right should do, the
taxpayers viii furnish it with means
to accomplish. Beyond this is the
province of private rights, to invade
which is usurpation."
Taxation to the extent of meeting
the actual necessities of the govern
ment undoubtedly comes within the
limits of this line. The constitution
authorizes it and the best interests
of the people require it. No farmer,
no mechanic, no laboring man and no
one engaged in commercial enterprise
win object to such an assessment
But when the government makes a
levy which EFFORTS from the earnings
of the people sum far beyond that,
the private rights of the citizen are
invaded and the usurpation is begun.
This is the present aspect. The col
lection of surplus revenue amounting
to $1O0,0O0,OOO annually is as much
a robbery, though taken by. the pro-
cess of law, as the robbing of a safe
or the burglarious entrance of a pri-
vate house by an ordinary thief.
