SORT OF RECKLESS.
Another Case Of Waking the Wrong PGs

lA40eAek Csc OF waxing the wrong F96l
ssnEsr on the Railroad.
He was the greenest old man you
ever saw. He looked around the pas
senger coach in way to prove that he
had never entered one before, and he
sat down so softly, and seemed to be
so afraid of damaging something, that
all the passengers smiled.
By and by a young man went over
and sat down beside him. This young
man might have been directed by filial
affection, and he might not. (Which
way, uncle?" he softly asked.
'.Me? Oh, I'm goin' to see my darter
in Connecticut.
'.Ever travel muchp'
''This is the first time was ever on
the keers. I've driv off seventeen
miles with the oxen to see my other
darter, but oxen hain't no comparison

money to go to Connecticut and

81 presume you could change a one

''Oh, jist as well as not"
II may want you to by-and-by. This
is good weather, eh?"
Extraordinary weather fur fall. James
has been worried about his corn, but
guess it's all safe.'
Nothing further was said for some
time, the old man looking out of the
window and the young man reading a
paper. The train made a few stops,
and the car was so warm that after
awhile the old man began to yawn and
nod. He fought it off for ten minutes,
but at last his head fell back and his
gentle snores mingled with the roar of
the wheels.
A slim white hand with tapering fin
gers rested on his leg. then it was ele-
waited to his breast. Its touch was
that of a feather. Its movement was
that of o serpent creeping forward to
strike. The fingers touched an old
fashioned wallet. The young man con-
tinued to read and the old man slept
on. Inch by inch the wallet was lifted
from its snug resting-place, and the

entirely when something happened.
With a sudden movement of his right
hand the old man pinned the inter-
loper fast, and his voice was heard call
ing:
"You blamed skunk! But I knowed
all the time what you were after!
Where's the CONDUCTOR"
There was rush of passengers, and

pocket and an indignant but yet elated
old man.
''Consarn his piktur,' but he took me
fur an ole hayseed from back medder!
Work roots on me, will ye! Sat trap
fur me and fell into it yerself, eh?"
Even aprofessional pickpocket hadn't
cheek enough to urge single excuse.
The fellow hadn't one blessed word to
say, and was walked off to the baggage
car to be kicked to the platform at the
next station,

Now Let us Fight the Enemy

ne uaGiOIldI COufcutiOu LAS uOLe
it's work and the Democratic party
has started out in the fight for the
success of it's principles. The cam
paign is opened and every soldier is
needed in the ranks.
The great tariff issue has been so
preeminent in Importance that it has
dwarfed other issues till they have
been passed unnotieed; but there are
other issues OF vital Importance and,
row that the fight is on US, they
should no longer be forgotten.
Whatever the pretense of the two
parties may be, the question of hon
est government is involved in this
contest. Parties, like men, are judg-
ed by their practices, and not by
their professions. The practices of
the Republican party are notorious.
Under it's rnle corrupt jobs were car
ried through both Houses of Con-
gress, and received the Presidential
sanction. Millions were squandered
in reeklessness and dishonesty, and
money had an influence in the affairs
of the nation never known before,
and we trust never to be known
again.
Civil service reform is involved
Since their retirement from power
the Republicans have been loud in
their advocacy of civil service reform,
but when they could have brought it
about they failed to do SO or even to
make the attempt. A public Office
was once considered means for the
furtherance of personal or party ends
or, worse still, chance for public
plumber. Partnership was rewarded
with official appointments. The
greatest sins against the purity of the
ballot box, if they were committed
for the party's sake, were not only
pardoned but rewarded. Even the
thieves who helped to steal the Pres
idency, with scarcely an exception,
were paid for their villainy by the
gift of public Offices.
Let us put all differences aside
Let us forget all contests in our own
ranks, and lock shields in our march
against the enemy. There were never
fewer differences to put aside. There
was never more nearly complete
harmony. There was never a brighter
chance of success. In the name OF
liberty and our country, in the name
of honesty and good government, let
us band together against the foe and
fight to the death.

For Congress, 18th District.
Hon. N. G. Blanchard.

We announce this week the candi-
dacy of Hon. N. G. Blanchard, as his
own successor from this, the Fourth,
Congressional District.
Mr. Blanchard is so we'll known to
our people that a recommendation of
him by us seems to be unnecessary.
He has been in Congress for nearly
eight years, and his repeated election
by his constituents is sufficient en-
dorsement of his official conduct, and
the high position he has reached in
the House of Representatives as
Chairman of one of it's most impor.
tant Committees, that of Rivers and
Harbors, affords abundant evidence
of his merits as national legislator.
The simple, undisputed fact is, that
cur Congressman has acquired ma
tional reputation, and his continuance
in his present position is necessity
to the whole Mississippi valley.
Watchful, laborious, plucky, ex-
perienced and able, he is better
equipped for his present position
than anv man in the District.

Democratic Platfor m.
Adopted by the State Convention
at Baton Rouge. May 20, 1888.

The Democracy of Louisiana, in
convention assembled, announces and
declares:
First-Its adherence to the time
honored principles of the Democratic
party as proclaimed by its founder,
Thomas Jefferson, and as developed
by his long line of Democratic sue
cessors eliminating in the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland, which
stands out as the grandest success in
the history of the party, having ter
minated the dissension left as the
heritate of civil war, having by econ
omy reduced the public debt and i'm
proved the public credit, and having
made certain the permanence of pop.
ular government and of free institu-
tions.
Second-That the interests of the
whole country will be best subserved
by the reelection of President Cleve-
land, and his faithfulness to the trusts
imposed upon him having increased
the confidence of all thinking men in
free government.
Third-That the public domain
should be sacredly held for actual
settlers and no more grants to great
monopolies, nor to foreign specula-
tors.
Fourth-That we invite, to the fer
tile fields of Louisiana, immigrants
from all lands, and especially from
the Northern and Western States,
with the assurance that they shall
find here hearty welcome and happy
homes.
Fifth-That it is the duty of the
country to protect all its citizens alike,
and to conserve all its industries:
hence we favor a tariff for revenue.

ment, economically administered, and
so adjusted in its application as to

lies.
sixth-That the struggle of the
people of Ireland for self-government
meets with the hearty sympathy of
the people of Louisiana.
seventh-That the general govern
naAnt should care for and improve
tho general waterways OF the nation.

Cleveland and Thurman.

The National Democratic Conven.
ton held at st. Louis on 5th instant,
nominated Grover Cleveland for
President and Allen G. Thurman for
Vice President of the United States.
The nomination of Cleveland to be
his own successor was a foregone
conclusion, for the people had already
expressed their preference for him in
such decided manner that no other
name was mentioned in the conven-
ton in connection with the Office.
It is conceded that the nomination
is one ''eminently fit to be made. y
Mr.. Cleveland is not only remarka-
BE man, but gerry remarkable man.
There are few like him. How he has
reached his present exalted height
among men is to some a marvel,-to
most a problem for discussion and
disagreement as to a correct conclu-
sion. Yet he is to-day the chief, and
the worthy chief, of this grand Re
public.
Without very great learning be
possesses wisdom, the result of great
learning. As another has said, he is
"the apotheosis of common sense. "
He is not q seeker of popularity for
popularity's sake, but does his duty
and takes the consequences. He has
the courage Of his convictions in an
eminent degree and never ''palters in
. double sense" He grapples with
great questions of State with the
holiness and skill of q trained states.
man. He is statesman, practical
and wise. Why he is what he is, can
only be answered by asserting, his
Maker made him for a purpose and
gave him to the American people full
y equipped, armed cap-a-pie, as
Minerva stepped from the brain of
Jove.
Next to him comes "the old Ro-
man." Allen G. Thurman, a grand
type Of a man and a still grander
type of old fashioned Democracy
the Democracy of Jefferson and
jackson. His integrity is SO pure
and strong that slander has never
dared to assail it, and his Democracy

that he is the embodiment of princi-
pies which are chrystalized in the

The time for differences in the
Democratic party has gone by. We
need all our strength now against the
enemy. In the year of our Lord
1888 we must see if we cannot dis
pose of the national Republican par
ty for all time.

Mr. Blaine acknowledges President
Cleveland's popularity, but does not
know how to account for it. Mr..
Blaine evidently does not see why
honesty and capability should make
a man popular.
