Address TO the Voters of the
Third District.


RooMs OF THE DISTRICT EXECUTIVE CON- !
MITTEE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
Third Congressional District, f
| DoNALDsoNVILLE, La, Oct. q, 1886.
To the Voters of the Third Congressional
District:
With an unanimity as spontaneous
as it is weil-deserved the Democracy OF
the Third Congressional District again
entrusts its standard to the hands of
him, who so triumphantly bore it to
victory in the last campaign stand
ard bearer whose spotless private char
acter and whose faithful labors for and
assiduous attention to every interest of
bis constituents commend him to every
honest and thoughtful voter. Wise
in council, untiring in energy, regard
less of self, his entire congressional
course has been directed to the welfare
of his district, commanding the re-
spect of his colleagues and securing the
approval of the people.
In again presenting the Hon. E. ].
Gay to the people of this district as a
candidate for Congress it is but neces-
sary to point to his record as member
of the Forty-ninth Congress of the
United States.
There is no interest that he has
neglected. The Mississippi river, the
various waterways of the district, the
cause of the laborer, the interest of
the lumberman, the sugar and the rice
industries, and the cause of education
have all alike received his watchful at
tention and earnest support.
1t is, therefore, the duty not on y of
every true Democrat to rally to the
support of such a candidate, but it be-
hooves every man who has the interest
of the district at heart to come boldly
to the front and labor for his trium-
phant election. No time is to be lost.
The day of election (the I'd day of
November) will soon be upon us,
Arouse yourselves organize, and be
prepared upon election day to give the
Hon. E. ]. Gay such vote as has
never before been received by any can
didate in the Third Congressional
District. r. N. SIMS,
Chairman Executive Committee.

yict is pardoned it is announced as
the work Of Gov, McEnery, if it is
considered an iuiudicious act of elem

all over the State for this act, because
many people do not know that it is
not really the act of the Governor, and
their ignorance of this fact is taken
advantage Of by those who know bet
ter. There is q pardoning board in
this State who Investigate all applica-
tions for pardon, who are familiar

In ancient Mexico the people knew
nothing of prohibition and local option
methods, but they had a summary
way Of furnishing drunkenness. If an
officer or man of distinction got drunk
he was hung, and his body was then
dragged along a public highway and
thrown into a river.

ton Is not, helped, by stopping all
issues of patents now. The revoca-
ton of the order will be hailed with
thanksgiving and joy throughout the
whole West and Interior, ard no ras-
cal need necessarily profit by it.
The action of the House Public
Lands Committee is curiously re.
ported. On the 18th, they were rep
resented as reporting bill which
repealed for the future the emp
ton law, the timber.culture law, and
the desert entry law. But on Sun
day morning we had rather uncer-
tain dispatch indicating that tie COM
mittee adhered to their action favor
ing the repeal Of the pre- emption
law, and perhaps that they would re-
port a billfor that purpose alone; but
that they would not recommend the
repeal of the timber culture or desert
land laws at present; that they wanted
the opinion OF. MIR. Sparks on the sub
ject before they took final action. 1t
is evidently the idea of these COM
mitteemen that the unsettled sountry
now remaining in the public domain
is such land as they know of in the
fertile regions east of the Missouri,
They have but little conception of
the treeless, arid mountain plains and
valleys. 1t ought to be the law that
every Congressional Committee on
Public Lands be given three months
vacation, at least, during which they
should be required to visit and get a
general idea of the leading features
OF the different regions where the re-
naming public lands lie. If that
were done, we might reasonably ex-
pect some commons sense, practical
legislation for the regions where small
farms can not be opened up as they
were in the East. Where a whole
valley, or very large section of it,
must be opened up simultaneously,
and the conveying of the needed ir-
rigating water is the chief problem
and the main expense, the conditions
are not appreciated by Congressman,
and so there is no provision for such
cooperative work. The land laws
need amendment, but not ia the di-
rection of discouraging the growth OF
trees or stopping the reclamation OF
desert tracts. We shall probably
have to wait for the subject to be un
derstood before tie proper Legislation
can be had, but while so waiting
there is danger that some foolish OIL
wicked laws may be passed which
will either stop all settlements, OIL
turn vast tracts over to spectators
without proper restrictions. tits hare
to say which would be the worst.

Testing the Food of Paris.

The food and drink sold in Paris
are tested at public laboratory, con
corning the work of which a rel ort
has just been issued by the French
Academy of Sciences. The labora-
tory was first opened in 1878, and
specimens of wine, beer, cider, milk,
chocolate, coffee, tea, ETC., are exam
ined daily; as are also, colors used
for toys and confectionery, pork sus
pected of containing trichine, and
timed meats. Some samples are
brought by the public, but most of
them are obtained by inspectors en-
ployed to visit the taverns and gro
GERS shops and examine the articles
offered for sale. There are rs chem
lists attached to the laboratory, each
of whom has his own special depart
ment, one taking milk, another wine,
and so on. Part of each sample is
kept as evidence in case adulteration
should be found. About $4,000 an
alyses year are made, at cost OF
about $4,000.

We are not in the habit of borrow
ing, but the following editorial from
the Salt Lake Tribune so fairly states
a question OF great interest which the
WooD RIVER TINES has already
stated, that it is published entire:
Commissioner Sparks has been
heavily sat down upon by Secretary
Lamar or one of his bad rulings, and
is about to be on another. The one
overruled is that denying to an en-
tryman who had 'once used his pre-
emption right, the privilege of taking
homestead and the converting of
his homestead to presumption entry,
or in other words, paying cash in lieu
of unfulflled length of residence.
The Secretary Of the Interior holds
that the money is the equivalent Of
the time, and the old Interpretation is
restored
But of far more Importance than
this is the prospective overriding de
tailed in special of the 9TH to the
Chicago Tribune, which says the Com
missioner's order suspending final ac-
ton on all but casho entries through
out the entire West is about to be
overruled; that Mr.. Sparks will be
given the option of revoking 1t him
self, or of having it. set aside over
his hesas The continuance of that
order for year, compelling thousands
of honest settlers to lie under the i'm
putation of fraud, in order that agents
from the Department might have a

THE SALT LAKE BUREAU.
What 1t Will Do for Idaho-It Will
Study Our Railway Needs, and En-
deayOr to Help Us Out.

Hoyt Sherman, IT., who, under Col
onel P. P. Shelby, has general super
visory charge of the Union Pacific
Railway systems business at this end
of the road, with headquarters in
Salt Lake, arrived on the train yes
terday, went up to ketchum, and re-
turned to Haley last evening and
stopped over night. To-day he left
for the Oregon Short Line, intending
to go on as far as Huntington and,
possibly, further.
Mr.. Sherman is on sort of a pre-
hminary observation, to ascertain the
railway needs of this region, with the
view of supplying them. The bu-
reau conducted by Colonel Shelby
and himself is new creation, intended
to make the railway officials and rail
way patrons better acquainted, SO that
each can work to mutual advantage.
Messrs. Sherman aud Shelby will
be very nearly always on the ego,
but one or the other will manage tc
get around here about once in every
60 or 80 days. At each trip they
will interview business, stock and
mining men, and inquire into thei'
needs, with the view of supplying
them. Just in what manner this viii
be done will become more apparent
as time progresses. For the present,
it suflices to know that this is being
done, and that this is harbinger o
greater and more rapid progress ane
prosperity for Idaho Territory.
