WHAT DO YOU PROPOSES

In connection with the Drliilant
statement that it is too late to
question the action of the Mass
Meeting it may be mentioned
that it is not too late,
even when an official has
actually been installed IN oiice.
The seat of Mr.. Carlisle in Con-
gress is even now being contested,
and the seat Of &. n. FELTON,, who
holds the certificate of election
from the 5th Congressional Dis.
srict OF Californis 10 being contest
ed by Frank J. Sullivan, who
claims that FELTON, was elected by
fraudulent and illegal votes.
1t is always best TO make the
contest, when possible, before
things get 100 far along, az It makes
fewer complications, but 20 assert
that it is now 20 late to make oD-
jections, is the suprcmest folly. OF
course the successful parties al
ways object to the ''other fellows"
kicking, and think it frightfully
wrong, that the parties who
are wronged should decline 10 sub
nit tamelyt to being defrauded, but
the supporters of Mr.. Mcclellan
appear to forget that he did fon-
years ago, just what is objected to
now, and with 10 good ground for
his doing it. The majority at the
1883 Mass Meeting was overwhelm-
ing, and there was no doubt about
it, but it was not considered bind
ing by those who did not want to
be bound, and it comes with poor
grace, from supporters of Mr.. Nc.
Clellan, to object to what they call
"independent movements. Inde-
pendentism was all right in 1884,
but is something horrible in 1887,
Strange all this difference should be
'Twixt Tweedledum and Tweedleiee
Madison parish was not hurt by
the results of 1884. The parish
has been in better condition the
last four years than at any time
since the war. If you are going TO
argue from results, there ought to
be deafening clamor for an''inde-
pendent movement.
But who has said anything about
any Independent movement Who
is talking Independent movement?
The friends of Capt. Holmes have
not suggested such a thing. They
claim that he is the rightful nomi.
nee of what, by courtesy. is called
the dem ocratic party of Madison.
1t requires some elasticity of imsg-
ination, to be sure, to count tn, m
all as democrats, but they 90 by
that name. However that may be
the friends of Capt. Holmes claim
that he had majority of the legal
votes cast at that Mass Meeting,
and having that, is he to sit down
with his fingers in his mouth, and
let the nomination 60 by default 2
If some of the enterprising gentle
men who are SO ready to frown
down and condemn what they call
an independent movement would
suggest some remedy for the stu
alton, they would act more TO the
purpose. In short, what do YOU
propose to do about it Talk up,
and talk at home, don't GO strad-
ding about the country blowing
off. Say what You propose and
md say it out plain. Bring OF
some of your remedies, and let's

JAIL DELIVERY

The Jail at Tallulah was broken
open last Saturday night, and all
but one of the prisoners got out
that one being too drunk to avail
him self of the opportunity. The
whisky had been smuggled into
him by friends. One OF the pris-
oners-Bradford Gibson-who was
in for sixty days, part of which
time had been served, and was al.
lowed the range of the inside of
the Jail, persuaded boy by the
name of Ed. Lindsey to pass a
crowbar into him through the win
dow, and with this he broke the
steel cage and liberated the other
prisoners the most important Of
whom was Mat Jones, who is
charged with killing q woman at
Delta. To break hole i'm the Jail
was an easy matter, and they all
went out. Mat Jones and two 9th.
ers have been traced to the Bedford
place on the river where they are
supposed to have crossed, and Of
fcers are now in pursuit of them.
John Lewis who is charged with
murder refused to 60 but was CON-
PEELED to. He returned however
and gave the alarm. He claims
the murder he is charged with was
an accident, and does not want to
get away.

While pointing out the road along which
Russia can retreat, il the Car feels himself
safe in retreating, the North German Ga
zette goes into the subject at length. 1t
says that the conflict stil exists and is un-
dINlnished in intensity, although Prince
II Bkdharck's speech relieved the minds OF
| the people from the fear VI an immediate
conflict.
This is only PARTIAL correct, for while
| the public are somewhat reassured regard
Ing the imminenCy of war, official and
diplomatic circles are not. The sincerit.- Of
the Cars desire for peace is not doubted,
but it is known that influence surrounds
him, which he appears unable To resist,
and continues to work in the direction of
war. The Car is now guided largely by the
advice of NJ. SinovieH, director OF the
Asiatic department of the foreign offices.

Touching upon the tariff upon wool
and sugar, he sald the Democrat party

sugar WAS grown in the South which
would take the tariff OFF sugar and give
the grower the bounty. He then en-
