A COMPETENT WITNESS.
How the Plan TNIiO of Plain Soldier
puts down Injurious Islander.
An Important statement from Gen
Jubal 4. Early.

At this time, when malice and ignor-
ance are slandering The Louisiana State
Lottery Company, those who believe in
justice and fair play will read with inter-
est the following from the pen of General
Jubal A. Early, whose veraclty was never
questioned. Read what he has to say:
"Mr. NJ. A. Dauphn, the President of
The Louisiana State Lottery Company re-
sides in New Orleans, which has been his
place of residence for many years, and he
Is universally esteemed as a gentleman of
high character. For the correctness of
whatever he publishes in regard to the
operations of the Lottery Company am
willing to vouch. The drawings Of the
Lottery, sem-annual and monthly, are
under the sole and exclusive control of
Gen. Beauregard and myself, the officials
of the Lottery Company having nothing
to do with them, except to furnish us with
the requisite materials and facilities; and
we take especial care that the drawings
are published precisely as they take place.
~ may say here that there are many
people who cannot understand how 1t is
that, when they have bought five, ten,
fifteen, or twenty tickets, they have drawn
nothing. 1t is only necessary to say that
of those who do buy tickets, there must
necessarily be very great many who
draw nothing. lift were not so, no one
would be fool enough to establish lot.
terry. Where man, spending ten dollars,
stands chance of drawing $780, $780,
900, 500, 900, and various other prizes of
smaller amounts: or, by spending five
dollars, can draw S75, 300, $4,000, SlO,-
600, and various other prizes down to
S25, he must not be surprised If he fails
after taking many chances. 1t isam matter
of chance or luck entirely.
"Gen. Beauregard and myself have had
ample opportunity to test the integrity OF
The Louisiana State Lottery Company in
all of its dealings, and we are willing to
vouch for it, as we have done on repeated
occasions. Ifany one can satisfy us that
the Company has acted fraudulently in
any Of its dealings, we will dissolve our
connection with it very promptly, and
take far more efficient measures to expose
its misdeeds that can be taken by ire
sponsible anonymous newspaper cores
pondents
"The Company, which number among
its stockholders some Of the most respect
able gentlemen of New Or cans, has sense
enough to know that it can make great
deal more money by conducting its oper-
atiOns fairly and honestly, than by re-
sort TO fraud. 1t has firm financial basis
to stand on, and is therefore subject to
the hostility of other lottery companies
which have no capital.
81 may add that 1t pays for the support
of the Charity Hospital in New Orleans,
one of the noblest charities in the coun-
try, SAC, 900 per aunum, according to its
contract with the State. Besides this its
principal proprietors contribute very
literally and largely to other charities and
public enterprises. j. A. EARLY"

Not Content with being the Best.


Whatever may be said in regard to the pro-
pensity of the management of great railway
lines to provide for the public only what is
actually demanded in the way OF accommoda-
tons and comfort, can in no way apply to the
management of the Chicago, Rock Island Il
Pacific Railway, or as it Is more Familiarity
known, "The Great Rock Island .ROute.'-
This line has for years been recognized as the
best and most comfortable route between
Chicago and Kansas City and the Southwest,
and has been abundanty able on this account
to successfully cope with its competitors
But not satisfied with this success 1t has al
ready elegant equipments, its managers have
caused to be turned out of its shops ut Chica-
60, a magnificent line of Dining Cars, which
go into immediate service on the kaLsas CITY
Line. These cars contain all of the cOveni-
ences Of well furnished dining rooms, are
elegant in design and finish, and models of the
advanced railway art of the day. within
them meals are furnished equal to those Of
any first-c'ass hotel in the land at the low rate
of seventy-tive cents. Travellers on this line
now find on its trains all the comforts and con-
veniences Of first-class hotels. Besides the
best of first and second-cass coaches there are
Parlor Chair Cars, (Which are free to all
passengers holding through tirst-class tickets
Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars and Dining Cars.
This Company's lines-all Of which are
equally well equipped-also extend to Council
Bluffs and the West, and Minneapolis and St.
Paul and the Northwest; and the deserved
praises bestowed upon it by returned travellers
who speak from experience, make 1t noted
throughout the land.
We bespeak for the owners and managers
of this magnificent Railway ample returns for
their generous provisions for the wants of the
public, which Is, as has already been proven
by the patronage extended to this line, quick
to appreciate and patronize those who prove
by their deeds and generous treatment that
they are devoted to Its comfort and welfare.

who are inclined to occasionally
write for this paper, we would say
that long winded communications
are not desirable; short Articles,
we'll prepared and to the point, are
of more value and interest than
when the subject is spun out and
drawn to an interminable length.
We want our correspondents in the
country to write up all the local
happenings in their vicinity, such
as births, deaths, marriages, acct
dents, arrivals, departures, and
other items of news that may be
learned. Write on one side Of the
paper only, and give names and
dates plainly. We desire to have
sufficient news-gatherers in the Par
ish to send us in all the news that
transpires. We intend to make
this feature of the tri-weekly DEM
ocRAr, and will be glad to have
any reliable, energetic young lady
or gentleman act in this capacity
for us. Send to us three tunes a
week, Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, the neighborhood doings !;
avoid as far as possible all hurtful
personalities, and endeavor to have
the letters reach US on the days
mentioned above. Essays on poll
tics, the Panama question, aerial
navigation, free trade, the Egyptian
embroglio, labor versus capital, are
not requested. When it becomes
necessary to insert such articles, the
editorial columns Of this paper will
furnish them. Write frequently,
and make US call whenever in the
City and we will always be glad to
see you.
NONE TOO SooN.-At a special
session of the City Council called
yesterday by Mayor McGimsey to
consider the matter of protecting
the River front of our Town from
the impending overflow, the Mayor
was authorized to employ ten labor
ers as a Corporation force to go to
work Immediately repairing and
Strengthening the levee from the
Upper Warehouse to the Mouth Of
Bayou Rapides. The Mayor was
also instructed to engage the assis-
lance Of some superintendent OF
practical experience to direct the
work. Mr.. A. Pettengill, large
property owner was seen by the
Mayor, and very promptly and
kindly offered his services gratui.
tously in overlooking the force OF
laborers and directing the work.
The Mayor was also requested by
the Council to issue a proclamation,
calling upon planters in the vein
ity of Alexandria to send as many
hands as they can spare to assist,
and asking citizens of Alexandra
to contribute means to pay the
workmen employed by the Cor
poration.
Recent telegraph accounts from
Shreveport concerning the immense
rise at that point and above, are
indeed alarming, and it behooves
the citizens and planters near Alex
andna, to be prompt and energetic
in guarding against threatened dis
aster.
