EDITOR Subtitle pressure Of
hard times is felt all over the country,
and among farming and commercial
eommunitiesin the n~ewly-settled west
the result is particularly severe. Con-
fdenee in business circles is seriously
disturbed By frequent failures all over
the east, west, north aud south.
and the whole trouble may be traced
to the injustice perpetrated upon the
farmer. The farmer is the seed and
root Of prosperous times, he being the
main feeder and supporter of the
mercantile as well as the manufacture
ing classes, and he is in a great
measure imposed upon and held in
bondage by monopolists such as rail-
roads, elevators and money sharks.
Even If the farmer does get affair crop
he has first to donate to the railroad
and elevator companies through under
Market prices, false grading, deduc-
tons for smut, or some equally ~rascally
pretext for fleeing the farmer. Then
the farmer takes his little net proceeds
III bis pocket and goes home. Next
comes the claw Of the money shark
with his iron-clad notes and mortgages.
Then outrageously excessive taxation
has to be met, and by the time these
cormorants have been satiated there
Is nothing left for the necessities Of
life. AS d result, the merchant who
daily supports the farmer by supplying
these necessities is left behind until the
railroad, elevator, money shark aud
tax gatherer have had the cream of the
farmers hard-earned proceeds for the
year. The retail merchant, who il
always il harmony and closely con
nectea with the farming community
Is, therefore, Of necessity left to thy
last. AS q natural consequence, d de.
linquent farmer makes q delinquen1
merchant, and this III turn reacts upol

uYuLONE I'M sT. JOHN.

! A terrible cyclone swept across the par
ish Of st. John the Baptist on Saturday last
which damaged and destroyed property to
the value Of about $4,000. A number Of
buildings were blown down, including the
residences of Messrs. P. A. st. Martin and
A. Mislaret, and of the people buried in
the ruins Mr.. AnRtole Perret was instantly
killed and Mr.. Mialaret SO badly injured
that he died two hours afterwards. Several
cabins and outhouses were leyeled to the
ground, including the stable on the st.
Martin place and Mr.. A. Granier's corn
house, and large trees were uprooted and
felled to the earth like saplings. Crossing
10 the left bank of The river the storm dam
aged the front gallery of the fine residence
ON Mrs. Godberry's plantation, tore down
the cane shed and purgery, and destroyed
the old sugar-house and thresher on the
adjoining place, owned by Mr.. D'Aquin
Several mules and COWS that
1ad taken shelter in the sugar house dur
ng the storm were killed. The cyclone
asted only few minutes, but its fearful
'orcs swept away all obstacles in its path.
rimbers twenty feet in length were driven
nto the ground in hard pasture land. while
such light articles as buggies and carts
we're lifted up and carried away like SO
much chat.

will give much needed impetus to South

that each individual will resolve to contrib

prize OF $40 worth Of goods, to be selected

be awarded to the person who should hand

most accurate estimate of the result of
the presidential election. Messrs. f. Royce.
Louis Wild, E. N. Gray end L. E. Bentley
were designated as committee of citizens

winner, it being one of the conditions of
The competition that a tie should be de-
clded by lot. A quorum of the committee
met last Sunday evening and examined the
lists handed in, over thirty in number. The
two nearest estimates were those of Mr.,
James l.. Fortier and Master VIM. a. Ter
rio Of Donaldsouville, both of whom gave
Cleveland ZIG electoral votes and Blaine
1s5, and both making the single mistake
OF placing Delaware in the Republican COL
umn. The names Of these two competitors
we're written upon similar slips of paper
which were folded and placed in hat.
Master Johnnie Maher was called upon to
draw the name OF the winner from the hat
and he chose the slip bearing the name
OF Master Terrio, who was thereupon de-
clared the winner of the prize. This young
man is mere lad, employed as a cashier
IN the house of Mrs. M. Israel & Co., and
his success in this guessing contest is an
evidence Of his Intelligence and OBSERVE
ton. We are informed that he sought no
aid in filing out his list, but, on the con-
trary, he declined to yield to the advice of
several elder persons that the vote of Del
aware-a State not claimed by the Repub-
iicans-should be given to Cleveland. Two
or three of the competitors had all the
States right excepting Connecticut, sew
eral gave Blaine the solid North and Cleye-
land the solid South, and decided maio-
rity of the contestants predicted the suo-
cess OF the Republican candidate. Several
of these parties are classed as Simon pure,
No. Democrats, and perhaps it is fortu-
nate for them that their representations
are not to be made public, else they might
be placed on that terrible black list and be
hoycotted in their business for presuming
to express opinions contrary to those of
the great ] AIMS and How-y ou-mucky
mucks of the local Democracy. Happily
such dire result will not ensue; Cleveland
will be inaugurated March 4; Master Ter

The case was then taken up for trial on
the merits and the work of adducing evil
dence is now pending. Several witnesses
have been examined and some twenty
pages of testimony have been reduced to
writing, but this is only beginning and
we shall not be surprised to see the new
year inaugurated before the trial has been
concluded and the judgment of the District
Court announced. Defendants have filed
motion for the production by plaintiffs
of protest against the formation of the
Board Of Church Wardens, signed by over
1000 Catholics. This was made return
able on Friday, but no court being held
that day, it goes over until next week.
The kindred suit of Emile Buquoi ct ais
Us. President and Board of Church War
dens is also pending, though why both
these cases should be tried is something
we don't understand, as it seems to us
decision of one will settle the other.
In addition to the proceedings in the
church cases the following business has
been transacted:
