however, be only an accidental re-
sembIance."
New Orleans City Item: "If the
proofs continue thus to be piled up
it will end in demonstrating that
the President is under political OBJ
legations to none OF the Democratic
leaders except Jonas"
st. Paul Globe: "What the peo-
pie of the country want is a reform
in all departments of the govern
ment, and the way to get it is to
put Democrats in office. That was
the meaning of the election last fall"
Meridian Miss Mercury: Gus

Eustis and Burke, but it is possible
the country may survive the calam.
ity of their displeasure."

Let any one go into the fields at
this spring season of the year; let him
mark the busy preparations for life
which are going on. Life is at work
in every emerald bud, in the bursting
bark of every polished bough, in the
greening tints of every brown hill
side. A month ago everything was
as still as the dead silence which
chills the heart in the highest regions
of the glacier solitudes. Life is COM
ing back to a dead world. It is a
resurrection, surely. The return of
freshness to the frozen world is not
less marvellous than the return of SEN
sibility to heart which has ceased
to beat. If one has taken place, the
other is not impossible.

turning the rascals out. Itsays: "In
our opinion, often expressed, some.
thing like "a clean sweep at the
South, beginning with Virginia, is
not only to be desired, but is the
duty Of the administration. The
Federal service in that quarter is
and has been for twenty years utter
ly corrupt and corrupting, the Ma
hone part of it being the worst Of
all. To purge it thoroughly is one
of the things fer which President
Cleveland was elected"
Democrat-Tribune: 1--WE are the
worst ringsridden State in The IN
ion. The power the Lottery Com
pany and bond holders welded in
the April election of 1884 secured
corrupt Legislature and plant tool
for Governor. In pay for such ser.
vices the interest on the State debt
was increased and the lottery mo-
nopoly sustained, and other infam.
nous laws passed to the detriment
of the interest of the people of our
State. This same crowd now seek,
under the guise of regular Democ-
racy,' to control the Federal patron
age of this State with all of it's
strength and influence and secure
stronger sway than ever over the
people. But they are about to be
woefully disappointed.n

desire to be heard. We will give
(s3, GEO. three thousand dollars and
one lot of ground for the parish

We are in earnest, let us be awarded
the parish site and the cash will be

Rome the crown was put up to the
highest bidder, and the money thus
derived was given to the people
In this, We propose to assist the
people of Bossier in building new
Court House and jail IF any other
community offers this amount we
may raise our bid, but think that
those who get the advantage of the
parish site, should pay for that adj
vantage. We are willing to do SO.
Haughton has as many CONNER
cial advantages as any other point
in this parish. 1t is on a high, dry
and healthful location; has two good
white schools with an average at
tendance of about fifty. We sell
goods and produce cheap as any
other point possibly could. We have
railroad, with o great possibility
of another. Last year we shipped
more than 5000 bales of cotton, and
with an average crop, we will ship
5000 next season; and we pay more
for cotton than any other place.
So everything argues in favor of
Haughton. We have six business
houses, boarding houses, livery
stables, saw mills, and everything
that constitutes a frst-class village,
with the ambition of a town

washed to the clay, immense holes
being cut in places "ten feet deep
and twenty, thirty and fifty feet
wide aud one hundred yards long"

farmer sold his farm which was for

got well paid at that.
