The dry cold weather of the early
winter months is productive of great
deal of cronp among children. Moth
ers should lie on the lookout for it, and
be prepared to arrest it as soon as the
irstsymptOms appear. Trne Group new
er comes without a warning; day or
two before the attack the child will be-
come hoarse, and the symptom is soon
followed by peculiar, rong cough. If
Chamberlain's Congh Remedy il given
as soon as this hOarseness or cough ap-
pears, all danger and anxiety may be
avoided; it has never failed, even in
the most severe cases. There is no
danger in giving the Remedy for it

A Ten Pound Boy.

Our friend j. T. Wallace, editor
of the Winn parish Democrat. be-
walls his fate in the following sad
strain:
BoQN.-Unto Mrs. Olive Wal
lace, wife of this editor, on Sunday
morning, December 9th, hale and
healthy boy that tipped the beam
at just 10 pounds. Our friends are
congratulating us, but we cannot
appreciate it, as this thing has be-
come monotony. We begin now
to entertain serious apprehensions,
not knowing where this thing will
quit. This is only the 10th in reg
ular succession. Not boys we mean,
but children. Mother and baby
doing well.

In some portions of the State the
negroes are organizing Farmers
Alliances similar to those which ex-
list to so large an extent in most
Southern States. The Colfax
CHRONICLE states that colored al
lance in Grant parish was recently
visited by armed and disguised
white men and ordered to disband.
The members were threatened with
severe punishment and even death
if they failed to obey the mandate
of these self-appointed lawmakers.
We agree with the CHRONICLE that
such conduct on the part of white
men deserves the severest .condem-
nation. The negroes have as much
right to join the alliance as white
men, and they should be protected.
We want no bald knobbers in this
country.-Shreveport Democrat.

If an editor admits anything he is
lazy, if he reports things as they
are, people are mad, if he smooths
down the rough points, he is bribed,
It he does not furnish his readers
with jokes, he is prosy, if he does,
he is rattlehead and lacks stabili-
ty, if he condemns the wrong he
lacks discretion, if he let's wrong
90 unmentioned he is a coward, if
he INDUCES in personalities, he is a
blackguard, and if he does not his
paper is dull and insipid. .-Ex.

A SLEEPING MATCH.

Something novel in the way of con-
tests of ability has been devised by all
Eastern man. He challenges all Corners
TO sleeping mat, Ii of six days duration,
and has already received several an
sWerS to his proposition. There ought
not to be great deal of difficulty in
securing q sufficient number of entries
to make the cOntestyery interesting in
deed. Material will occur to any one
There are numerous people who are
evidently qualified by long practice to
enter just such a contest. There is, for
instance, that class of men who, repre-
scented by Mr.. SHERMAN. of Ohio, are
evidently asleep, dreaming of long
forgotten past, and who evidently have
not awakened to the fact that the
war is over. Several promising entries
ought to be secured from their number.
Perhaps even MIR. SHERMAN himself,
whose sOnambulistic Shrieks regarding
wartime issues have amused the whole
country, might himself be induced to
enter.
Then there is another large class,
found principally among the Republi-
cans, who absolutely refuse to awaken
to the fact that their life blood is being
drained by the high-tariff Ieech, but
slumber on in fancied security, dream
ing the fantastic dreams which usually
come to overladen sleepers, and occa-
Sionally giving historical expression to
their diseased imagination. From these
recruits for the sleeping contest ought
to be easily gathered. And coming
down more to detail, there his

use of Advertising" or shuts his eyes
blindly to its advantages. He might en-

ness run upon such principles would not
be great enough 10 deter him.
And lastly, as the sermons have it,
there is the ali-night newspaper man,
who has well nigh forgotten how the
faces of the members of his family look.
He no doubt would enter the sleepers'
contest with avidity, and him we would
be inclined to back as a sure winner.

HE MEANS TT.

When Mr.. BI.AINE's letter ANNOUNCE
ing his withdrawal from the presidential
race first appeared the GLOBE gave Mr..
BLAINE credit for sincerity, although
the leading papers of his own politics
were insisting that the letter was only
blind and that Mr.. BLAINE would be
nominated with perfect hurrah. There
were two reasons why we were con-
Vlneed of Mr.. BLAINE'S sincerity. One
was that we knew JAMES q. BLAINE to
be too Shrewd man to attempt to palm
trick off on the public at such crisis
in his career. The other reason for Civ
ing Mr.. BLAINE credit for sincerity was
we knew that he knew there was no
more show for his election than there
was of his being made ear of all the
RuSsias. Mr.. BLAINE comes along with
an interview, in which he emphasizes
his former declaration. There is evil
dence of slight worry on his part that
his countrymen are not willing to take
him at his word. So he goes into details
to show why he ought not to be candi-
date. As matter of course he makes
no reference to the improbabilitieS of
being elected in case he was nominated.
1t was not expected that he would. Still,
the reasons that he gives are good
enough, without regard to the one that
is not mentioned, and his political
friends ought now DO him the kindness
TO drop his name entirely i'll connection
with the presidential race. Mr.. BLAINE
asserts that his health would suffer
from the excitement incidental to a
political campaign. lie realizes that it
would be a. physical impOSSibility to
peform the work that was required of
him in the last canvass, and for the
sake of his own reputation and the sue
cess of his party he could not afford to
do less. Then, again, he does not propose
to make an innovation on the eStab-
liShed tradition in American politics,
that defeated candidate can not con-
sistently ask his party for a renomina-
ton. In politics, as in many other
things, nothing succeeds like success.
The principle OF ''If at first you don't
succeed, try, try again." has no appli-
cation to political life. The man who
leads his party out of power becomes
his own eXecutioner. Thus it is that Mr..
BLAINE realizes the embarrassing pO-
Sition he would occupy before the coun-
try in case he should be renOminated.
He doesn't care to pose as a resurrected
corpse. His political life may not be
rounded out just to his liking, but he
knows we'll enough that he can better
afford to go down into history on his
record just as it now stands than to
take chances on what it would be after
another presidential election. So those
who have doubts of the earnestness of
Mr.. BLAINE'S defamation can safely
lay their skepticism aside. He is off the
track, and off to stay.

Buy High and Sell Low,

Chicago Tribune CRepublicau).
The Western farmers, who have been
required for quarter of century to
buy in high and sell in low market,
and who in ten Western states now
have their lands subjected to mort
gage debt of S1,200,0 100000, suffer tariff
eXactions difficult TO calculate only
because of their enormous extent.
Selling low and buying high, they have
been smothered with debt, and all
their earnings above bare living ex-
penses have gone to meet mortgage
dues-a consequence not of their stu
alton but of excessive and unequal tax
alton. Looking to the actual condition
of the tariff-robbed farmers, and forget
ting for the time his railroad environ
ment and obligations to corporate
monopoly, Mr.. Depew, with his we'll
known fOndness for poetry, should ex-
claim:
Teach me 10 feel another's woe,
To hid the fault see;
That mercy l to others show,
That mercy show to me.

ACTIVITY AT DENVER,
The Burlington Getting Ready on
the West End.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 26.-The order
for general strike of all Burlington
engineers and fremen reached here
from Omaha this afternoon and at
O'Clock tomorrow morning all the men
will go out. The freight brakemen
west of the Missouri signify their will
ingness to join the strike if necessary.
General Agent Crosby has been busy all
day sending coal out over the road, and
every train leaving here to-day has been
heavily loaded with fuel. Two hun
dred cars have left here since II o'clock
this morning. Through Eastern pas
sengers who had purchased tickets over
the Burlington tonight exchanged them
for tickets over the Union Pacific road
and all mails will be sent over the latter
road. The Chicago express which
leaves here at 10 tonight will reach
McCOOk about o'clock in the morning,
at which place the engineer and fireman
have orders to leave the engine.
