AN OUTRAGEOUS LAW.

The United States statute CON-
monty known as the Federal Elec-
ton Law" is the most prolific
source Of political venality and ar
bitrary outrage upon the rights of
suffrage in the States that has ever
disgraced the Legislation of this
country. Not only has Louisiana
had her full share of bitter expert
ence under this partisan enactment
but Ohio and other States are feel
ing its terrible power.
In every Congressional election
since its passage its authority has
been invoked, and the United
States Courts have been appealed
to and used to further the aims and
ambition of a horde of official ras-
Gals, under the plea of preserving
the purity of the ballot. The law
is undoubtedly unconstitutional,
and it is strange that the highest
court of the country was not called
upon years ago to proclaim it a
nullity.
This campaign will probably be
the last to witness the operation Of
such specimen election machinery.
After a few years of Cleveland's
administration the country will have
advanced so far upon its new career
of peace and prosperity that the
dark ways and tricks Of Radical
politics will be buried and forgot
ten in the outward march Of a great
Republic to a greater destiny. In
those years Of higher aims and
achievements the people will hear
no more of arbitrary United States
Supervisors of Elections and their
horde of armed deputies.

LOUISIANA will give Blaine a
black eye to-day at the ballot-box.
AS between the Democrat and
Republican candidates there is no

GIVE us a free ballot and
fair count, and Cleveland's election
is an assured fact.
SEE that your ballots have the
names of Cleveland and Hendricks
and Blanchard on them.
WE here in Rapides should
give our ticket an overwhelming

We want no Mulligan man,
no "burn the letter" candidate to

The democratic candidates re-
present honesty and reform purity
of government and protection to
all. The republican nominees are
just to the opposite.

contains long letter from Capt.
Jas. B. Eads, in which the Missis-
sippi River Commission is sharp
ly arraigned. The learned profess
or's argument is able and convin-
cling and goes in favor of carrying

ed by the commission, saying in
futherance of the scheme that lev

er we cannot help but concur in the
opinion of Mr.. Eads' aud say that

The Solid South is for the

one hundred and ffty-three electo-
raj votes will be cast for Cleveland

of New York, New jersey and Con-

The st. Louis Republican says:
Blaine will not carry a single South
ern State. He will not carry New
York. Add the electoral vote of
New Jersey and Connecticut to
those and Cleveland's election is
secured. Little New Jersey is al
ways true to Democracy. 1'ilden

poets were never SO bright. 1t will
require more fraud and United
States Marshals for the Republic
cans to defeat Cleveland and Hen
bricks in Indiana than they had in
Ohio. Money and bribery do not
apply in all the States, and even if
they did there is not enough of the
former to 60 around.

A strange freak akin to incOns- tancy just now seems to possess the marriagehle ladies of this locality. As result, four young souls that were expected to be wrestling with but two single thoughts are going it alone on four different kinds of thought. And the four hearts alluded to are beating in four distinct and separate measures. Edward Brown of this city had agreed to unite in the single soul and heart business with Miss Zae Ward of Chapel Hill. Orange county; that is, they were to have been married on the 9th instant. Mir. Brown had invested $3 in mar riage license, and had shipped 8 couple of bridesmaids up to Orange county to assist in the ceremony. Browns papa had moved into new house, so that his son and wife might live with him, and young Brown had law ishly invested in furniture. On Monday last young Brown re- ceived a letter stating that on the previous Saturday Zoe. false and fickle, had "given him the shake" and married another fel- low.
 MT. Brown is an undertaken, and 1880 shocked by the duplicity of his Zoe that he wanders about the city in state of mind that peculiarly fits him for his solemn business.
 A like disaster befell Wiley Perry, of this county, who was to have been married by the Rev. Charles Farriss to Miss Tania Fer rell. On Wednesday Perry came to the city to secure his marriage license. Before he had obtained the necessary document, a friend who rode up in hot haste shouted out:
 Say. Perry, have you got your license yet?"
 "No."

He Didn't Flag The Train.

A few engineers and firemen were sitting around the coil of steam pipe in the round-house telling their yarns. Among them was pale young man who had lost his health in a dry-goods store, and had just engaged as an extra fireman.
 ''I never was so mad" said big Bill Dempsey, 'as was when a I licked Jim Ransom fur not faggin' me-"
 "When was that?" asked one of the firemen.
 "Le's see," said Bill, thought fully. "That was in '79-the year they put in the Clarion side track"
 "For what offense did you punish him?" asked the pale young man.

 "What did you whip him for?"

 "Is it of great consequence you should reach there before that time, my girl?" 1 asked.
 'I shall lose my place if l don't," she sobbed.

 "The talk is N. G." said she. "I'll have ter git ter New York ter git another chance; there's no biz doing in Pittsburg"

 The deep, manly tones of tht

 fancy work. Fashionably at,ired in garments of the latest design, but betraying in his appearance
 none of the fOllies of the dude,
 the speaker stood leaning care lessly against the counter, hand ling the mysteries of flosses and skeins opened out before him with all the familiarity of a lady customer. He had none of the awk wardness of the ordinary husband, brother or lover who finds himself in such a place, and WAS apparently making purchases for himself and not merely act ing as an errand boy for his sister or lady friend. The lady who was waiting on him happened to be the proprietor of the store, and, in spite of the fact that he was a man. apparently treated him as an equal She had none of that manner of pitying condes. tension for helpless and dense ig- norance with which the average man is greeted when an unkind fate or bad weather compels h is unwilling steps Into such store.
 ''I am sorry we are out of the lighter shades just at present." she replied in her most gracious manner. "But don't you think this would do?" she continued, taking up skein and holding it up to show it off 10 the best ad- vantage. It was an appeal to his --.- --Elan- a-f not |n~nnatic as. soltiau.

 "Splendidly," was the enthusi- astic response, "it was perfectly lovely"
 Other customers demanding her attention put an end to this interesting fancy work gossip. and deprived the world of further information as to the achieve ments of this remarkable young man. He ls, however, well known in society circles in this city, and his lady friends have had frequent occasions to admire his handiwork. When mecrame became the fashionable craze he worked 8 number of elaborate pieces and contributed them to fairs for charity objects. He is a young naval officer, and employs his spare moments in cultivating his gifts in this direction, but in other respects he is not effemin- ate, and is very popular with his associates in the service.-Chica- go News.
