Congress adjourned last Saturday.

When President Cleveland an
nounced in ringing words his clear
cut idea that ''public Office is pub
lie trust" no one ever dreamed that
the reputed statesman Blaine of
Maine would or could be so COM
pletely befuddled by his late toady-
ing trip through England and Scot
land, as put along side that re-
markable utterance of his that
'trusts are private affairs, with
which the President nor any one
else has any right to interfere"

How to Prevent Sore Shoulders

How to Prevent Sore Shoulders.
A writer in the Country Gentle
man has the following to say of
work horses:
To me there is nothing SO pain
full as seeing horses with sore shoul-
ders and neck bare and raw, SO
many devices applied of no avail,
pads below and pads above this raw
flesh. Prevention is better than
cure, and he is the wise man that
adopts the latter, and / am grieved
to say that it is only in the farming
class that we see this torture to an
finals; it is not from overwork, but
negligence, or not knowing how to
prevent it.
An excellent and cheap remedy,
and, / can say, a quick and sure
healer of sore shoulders from neck
wear or any harness rubbing is hah
an ounce Of indigo put into a pint
of alcohol Sop this on with q
sponge or soft cloth three times q
day, and this will cure and harden
The bottle containing it must b
kept closely corked after using, o.

COMPRESSaAND WAREHOUSE
COMPANY
COMPANY.

The undersigned respectfully calls to
the attention of the producers and
buyers Of cotton, tho superior facili-
ties offered by this company for the
storage and handling of cotton, which
are as follows:
A large, commodious and finely con-
structed compress building, connected
with covered yards, all constructed and
arranged in such a manner as to secure
the greatest degree of safety possible,
thereby enabling the company to obtain
the lowest rates of insurance.
Large cistcrns, and an elevated tank
constantly kept full of water, supplied
from a well by means of steam pumps,
and q fully supply of hose enabling
them to reach every part of their prop
erty in case of fire.
Competent and reliable watchnen
are in charge at all hours of both day
and night.
The advantages of transportation to
and from the compress and warehouse
will be readily appreciated when the
fact is known that the tracks of both
the Texas and Pacific and the South
ern Pacific pass in close proximity to
their platforms, and that the Red River
ind Coast Line Packets have made Al
exandria one of their terminal points,
having established large and commo-
dious wharves and warehouses just
above the limits of the City of Alex
andria said wharves, warehouse and
landings being connected with the
tracks of the T. e. P. r. r. thereby
avoiding entirely The necessity of dray-
age to and from the steamboat landing
and the compress and warehouse.
The charges for storage, handling
and COMPRISING of cotton by this COM
pany, win be as reasonable as those Of
the most favored markets of the coun-
try.
The desire and intention of the gen.
tleman connected with the above en-
terprise is to make the City of Alex
dria such a market for cotton as her
geographical location and her most fla
vorable facilities, such as are offered
by the River and Railways above men,
toned, entitle her to enjoy.
1
To this end hank to he known as
the Rapides Bank of Alexandria has
been organized, with sufficient capt.
tai already subscribed. will commence
operations on September LIST, next.
This bank will We prepared to make
liberal advances on all cotton stored
with the above named Compress and
Warehouse Company. 1t will more
over furnish unsurpassed facilities for
the accommodation of Buyers of Cot
ton either for Domestic Spinners or for
foreign account. The gentlemen con-
nected with the Bank are all we'll
known citizens of Rapides Parish and
of the City of New Orleas. At the
proper time the official announcement
Of their officers and organization will
be made public. 1t is . well-knOwn
fact that planters and merchants who
tried both the New Orleans and Alex.

from 81 50 to % % more per bale on

Importsn. Changes Made in the Cousti.u-
ton Of the Society
ISpIlSAPoIIs, November 2O-At the
morning session to-day the report Of the
Committee on laws was submitted and Sss
exactly in accordance with the conditions
expressed By Povderly. Section Is of
article of the constitution was amended
By the committee to provide that the
electoral officers shall be the general
master workman, general worthy foreman,
general secretlry, treasurer and general
director Of woman's work. The general
executive board shall consist of four mem
bers besides the general master work
man, and the general cooperative
board shall consist of two
members, besides the general worthy fore.
man. All except the general executive
board and general cooperative board
shall be taken from the floor of the gen
ersl assembly, and when elected shall serve
two years. This is a reduction of two
msmb ers in each board, besides the union
OF secretary and treasurer and is that much
of saving in expenses?
Bat the place where Powderiy's purpose
most appears is in section Is of the same
article, which shall hereafter provide that
the general master workman shall be
chosen eI -officio of the general executive
board aud shall as soon as practicable
sub nit TO the general assembly the names
of eight persons eligible under
tie constitution from which
names the general assembly shall
select four members. This shall be done
"a soon as possible, aud st the same
session at which the general master work
man ia elected. This section also pro-
vides that the general worthy foreman
! shall be ex oficio chairman of the gen
eral cooperative board, and that he shall
submit to the general assembly foul
names from which they shall select two
who will constitute that board.
A prolonged debate followed tbs
introduction of these amendments
1t was desired to reduce the term Of
Office and to change the size
of the board, but such proposi-
tions we're defeated, and the report of tbs
cOmmitte, was adopted by more than tn
required two-thirds majority. Genera
| Master Workman Powderiy and Genera
Worthy Foreman Richard Griffiths, Of
Chicago, will probably be retained il
their present POSITIONS, and will, undel
these new laws, select their own advisers

sLICING UP TEXAS.

The Boston Globe sugge,ts that about
the only way now to get ahead of the
republicans would be TO cut up Texas into
four states, thus giving eight instead Of
TWO democratic senators to neutrslize the
power in the senate of the new republican
states to be erected by the fifty first con
gress. the idea may be a very feasible
one to the Globe, bat the editor of that
journal would simply be laughed at in
Texas. The people of Texas have an en-
pire of vast possibilities, Already making
strides toward political power and untold
material wealth, and they know it.
We have destiny fOreshsdowed as certain
as the events that followed the ancient
handwriting on the wall; destiny de-
pending on the unity and iDdIyIsIbility
OF the state brought into being by the
victory at San Jscinto; a destiny that we
would throw away for no political party
''Not that we love Caesar less, but Rome
more"
No! amid the warning of the faction:
and political mutations, present and tC
come, Texas will stsnd-as a state,
proud and unbroken autonomy, large a.
auy one of the great monarchies of Europe
