ONE thing is certain, the President cannot
afford to make many more mistakes, either as to

TIE Rev. Mr. McCulloch has no doubt
found out by this time that the people of In
dianapolis are not in favor of anarchy or An
archists, and that the people have no sympa-
thy with such false sentimentalism as he pro-
claimed from his pulpit, and only made worse
by his card. When Mr.. McCulloch becomes
the apologist of the Anarchists and murderers
of Chicago he jeoparGs the respect and regard
of the law-loving and law-abid;ng people of
this community.
He says "To hang such men would be
inexpedient. 1t would be blunder. 1t
would crystalline sentiment into principle
The blood of martyrs is the seed Of the church.
They become the martyrs of new faith"
He would have the people believe that these
men are like John the Baptist, the forerun-
ners of a new gospel Of peace-ofl "peace on
earth and good will to men," They are,
according to Mr. McCulloch, the apostles of a
new dispensation that will heal all domestic
and commercial ills Of the body polite. Who
are these great organizers of the new dispen-
Not single one Of them is native-born
citizen Of the country; not one of them ever
took the oath of allegiance to the Constitu-
ton and laws, except with the reservation to
break it. These men on their trial not only
never denied that they made dynamite bombs,
but openly admitted that they did make them.
If they made them what was the object of
their manufacture? Was it for playthings
for their children, or for public display on
some patriotic occasionf Mr.. McCulloch will
not deny that these internal machines were
made to kill people and to destroy the proper
ty of those who would not join the bomb party
in their hellish designs. 1t was not in evil
dence that single man of these seven that
were sentenced to hang ever did one honest
days work. They were the ''iawsmiths, like
Martin Irons, who wanted place and the op-
portunity to get living without manual
labor. The true laboring men of this country
have no sympathy with any such cattle. If
Mr.. McCulloch sympathizes with people who
rob and murder, and use dynamite as argu-
ments, then he has mistaken his profession,
and the saints in his calendar, instead of Peter
and Paul, should be Geronimo and Natchez,
and in place of Christian worthless like Martin
Luther and Melanchthon, he should set up
Justus Schwab and Herr Most.

success. John c.. Nelson accepted the
nomination, and the canvass was made in
good faith, apparently, before the people. The
people of the State voted upon the question
and legal plurality decided that Colonel
Robertson should hold the Office. When this
was discovered the plans of the Democratic
conspiratois, who had relied upon the
gerrymander to disfranchise majority
of the people, were suddenly changed, and all
along the line was heard the charge that there
was no vacancy in the Office, and that the
election to which they had been parties was
farce, and Of no effect. Had Mr. Nelson been
elected, no such trumped-up issue would have
ever been heard of; but Republican Lieuten-
ant-governor and probable Republican Leg
islature jeopards all the schemes and jobs
Of the plunderers. and so they proc eed to in
suit the people and to still further outrage
them by bold attempt to set aside the results
Of the election.
The scheme is as bastard as that of the ger
rymander, and is of piece with the Demo
cratic programme everywhere to disfranchise
the majority, if adverse to the Democracy,
through murder, fraud, forgery, corruption, or
any other Infamous crime that may be neces-
sary. The thieves and scouudrels who have
planned to rob the people, and to
violate the sanctity of the ballot,
may as we'll understand that they
cannot and will not profit by their infamy
They should remember the effect of the over
throw of the constitutional amendments by a
Democratic court for supposed party bene-
fit. Could it be presumed that another court
can befound low enough to make partisan de
cision to be photographed to the boys there
would be such an uprising of the defrauded
people as might serve to check Democratic
scoundrelism for many year.

variety, from the curve that carries the
furrow slice gradually into the position
in which it is to be left, to that which
carries the slice shapely up and then
thrusts it sideways and over into posi-
ton. The next important means is the
double furrow-trench pillow, which is
simply one plow before another on the
same beam. The first pillow takes q
rather thin furrow, which. with a sharp
turn, throws the trash, or thin skim

Astonishing Increase in the Demand for
yelvets and Velveteens.

The large demand of late for fabrics
Of pile surface, as velvet, velveteen,
plushes, corduroys, moleskins, etc,
gives emphasis to one of the greatest
deficiencies and desiderata in American
textile industries. With the exception
OF few pushes for upholstery pur-
poses, which have lately been success
full Y manufactured in the United States,
and certain kinds of carpets, which have
nearly driven out all importations of
similar goods, Europe continues to mo-
nopollze the production OF velvety ar
ncles, the demand for which has in
creased rapidly in the past few years,
as will be seen by the following inn
portations, the figures for which prior
10 1883 include bindings and ribbons, as
well as piece goods:
St. Landry democrat., 1886-07-10

Aoco S,t~-,-'-o ",o~S, i4o
The production of the pile surface
from cotton was known in Spain as
early as the twelfth century, and sug-
gested to the Italians the subsequent
manufacture of silk velvets. These
cotton stuffs were called fustian, and
included what is now known as cordu-
roy, though when in England wool was
employed in the same way instead Of
cotton that product was also called fus-
tan. Fustian in those early days was
worn only by the privileged classes.
Even the word corduroy signifies the
kings cord. But with the introduction
of silk velvets the goods took lower
rank, and in time came to be regarded
as suitable only for the poorer people.
With late improvements, however, in
their manufacture, especially in colors
and patterns, there is a revived fashion
for this material for both mems and
women's wear and for chldren's suits.
Telvets have also been in large demand
and velveteens have followed suit.
Among the prettiest and most desira-
Bile of all the new goods have been the
fine light imported fabrics, with tufts or
bourette threads, used alone or in COM
bination, with plain material to match
So popular are these goods that it is
difficult to supply the demand, and
what is here to-day is gone tomorrow,
as those find to their cost that like to
'sleep upon decisions so important
as those relating to new gowns. So de-
sirable are these new goods that not
even their price, though extravagantly
high for cotton fabrics, has deferred
buyers, except those whose shallow
purses are in perpetual conflict with
their cultivated tastes.-N. 7. Herald.
