TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

AT meeting ofthe Pangnostic Club
held on Wednesday evening, Nov. II,
1886, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted
Resolved, That in the death of LIP
MAN D. LEHMAN, our Society has lost
one of it's most worthy members. AS
President of the Society, his conduct
was such as to endear him to all its
members. His rulings were just and
impartial and the success of the Socie-
ty is principally due to his untiring en-
ergy and determination. Though only
10 years of age he developed qualities
which would have made him popular
man and useful citizen.
Resolved further, That to his family
in this hour of distress we extend our
sympathies. L. f. BURGESS,

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreealle itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allayiDg the intense Itch
ing, and effecting permanent cure.

The Marksvillians are wild with
happiness, occasioned by the ruling Of
the Secretary of State in reference to
the recent election held there for the
purpose of finding out the sentiment of
the people as regards the removal of
tie Courthouse from Marksviile to a
more suitable place in the parish. Of
the whole the Bulletin says:
The people were jnbilant, happy,
contented. Can any one blame them?
Can any one find fault with a people
who rejoice over the restoration of
their homes, for had the removal been
effected they, or many of them, would
have been ruined beyond redemption.
Marksville does not rejoice over the
defeat Of the bayou, but over her own
particular success. Candidly speak
ing we would desire to see an AMIGA
BILE adjustment reached. Where all
are so deeply Interested it APPEARS to
US hat reasonable men can formulate
a plan that will bring order from chaos
and conieo,went from disappointment.

Or Judge Elackman's rulings in
cases of concealed weapons, the Times
of Shreveport; is quite complimentary.
II vs.
The rule established by Judge
Blackman is a good one and is worthy
OF imitation. Judges cannot be too
severe on parties found carrying con-
cealed weapons. 1t is a dangerous
practice and is inexcuSab!e and should
not be tolerated in civilized commu-
nifty. The man who walks the streets
with a pistol or other dangerous wea-
pom strapped around his body or con-
cealed on his person, lacks in that
courage which stamps the acts of a
brave man. Concealed weapons have
too often been used to take life on the
least provocation, and the practice
should be denounced in the strongest
terms. As the man who makes a
practice of carrying concealed wea-
pons never fails to use them when an
opportunity offers, he should not ex-
pect mercy when found guilty of a
crime which is condemned by all brave
and true men.

The Sunday law passed at the
late session of the State Legislature
of Louisiana, goes into effect after the
LIST of January. Regarding it, we clip
the following from an exchange:
A meeting was held Thurdays night
in New Orleans to encourage the en-
forcement of the Sunday law passed
by the last Legislature. The clergy,
labor organizations and citizens were
largely represented. Many lawyers
have declared the law constitutional
and volunteered to defend it. The op-
ponenis Of the measure will make a
vigaroaa fs5t against it, however, and
it is reported hat they have already
raised Large amount of money for
that purpose. May the law triumph.

AN appliance has just been in
vented by one Roget, of Geneva, for
the correction of refractory scholars
1t is thus described: "The boy to be
punished is made to face series of
metallic wires attached to the conduc-
tor of an electrical machine. His body
in fact, buring the period of castiga-
ton, draws sparks from the wires, and
the sparks Qike the singing shocks
which accompany them) vary in their
size and effect with the enormity or
trivialty of the fault to be corrected"
We are further informed that a
strong recommendation which this no.
vel apparatus of torture possesses is
that it leaves no tell-tale marks be-
hind. We apprehend that more teach
ers than scholars would approve this
substitute for the good old-fashioned
cane States.

The exhibits were given ont as prizes for the most graceful and ac- comphshed dancers. M. Brandt was the caterer Roslnus furnished eX- ceIIent music, and Buybaum prompt ed. The affair was most creditable to the Bakers Union, which has been organized for a short time, but numbers in its membership all the solid men in the trade. The com mittces having the affair in charge are to be congratulated upon their efficiency, which contributed so much to the evenings enjoyment. They were; Leopold Reisfeldcr, floor manager; Ludwig BrockeIshauser, Me. lIauk, Fritz Weisert and J.

# THE LABOR PARTY.
What Rev. Dr. McGlynn, of New
 York. Says About It.

The result is a wonderful victory for the poor and lowly. It was the Bunker Hill of glorious and sue cessful revolution. While permit ting, perhaps, the wish to be father to the thought, l ycntured to hope for an absolute victory at the polls; vet the great success obtained IS lit tie short of miraculous. It was a fight against the police, against mur- derers, fugitives from justice, gamb- lers, keepers of brothcls, of low liquor saloons, which were permitted all over the city to llagrantIy violate the law under the eyes of the police, as l myself witnessed, and against combined political ringsters and tricksters, so titIy represented by the two precious committees to whom their candidate read his letter of ac- ceptancc.
 l believe the Labor Party IS gong on conqucring and to conquer; to smash up the old political parties, especially the ''democratic,' which has sinned the more grievously against it's principles and traditions as the party of the people. 1, for one, believe that the recent cam paign has shattered beyond recovery the plans and doomed to utter dis appointment the expectations of the political managers as to the next
 residential election.

 The motives for the call for the Trades Union convention to be held at Columbus, Ohio, were endorsed, :, and hopes expressed for a successful convention.
