TRoYvrILE. La. September 1888.
Editor Coyar Chronicle:
find that by an act of the Lcgisla-
turo the police jury of each parish has
the right to, upon making small APP
preparation, send or elect "Bene-
ficiary Cadet" to our State school at
Baton Rouge. The president of same
advises me that this district has been
long neglected and unrepresentsd
there, and urges that we take action.
OF courss this matter is one that is en-
tirely discretion with the police jury
Of your parish. am deeply interest
ed 10 the welfare of the district l have
the honor to represent, and particu-
larly the education of the young mon
therein, and write to ask you person
ally aud through your paper to aid me
in achieving the desired end. See the
prominent men, and if possible do not
let us 10 longer unrepresented at in
stitutions where We have q right to
place our young men who will do us
honor aud credit.
The representative of your parish
has right to appoint to "free sclOl-
arShipr at the Tulane University at
New Orleans q young man (see cata-
olgue.) Can you not urge upon Col.
Dunn to avail himself of the right,
aud let Grant be represented at New
Orleans az we'll as Baton Rouge.
The superintendent of public edu-
cation writes me urgently upon the
matter, and seems to desire the ques-
ton agitated. The oath district is en-
titled to keep constantly at school sew
en- young men, and trust she will moi
longer sleep upon her rights. By be
ing aided by yourself and Others feel
assured we can send those who will d.
rs credit. Trusting 70 your aid and
wise counsel, am, my dear cir, with
regards, yours J. BAKER BoATHER.

A Busted Bagging Trust.

The war ON the bagging trust
has been waged most vigorously
and successfully during the past
week, and we are happy to announce
that this monster iniquity is now
completely throttled. The first
point of Importance scored by the
farmers was securing the consent
of factors and buyers to take cot
ton wrapped in any closely woven
fabric that would protect the staple
from injury. Next came the board
of underwriters, who stood square,
ly by the planters. and issued q
circular to the various cotton ex-
changes stating that no discrimi-
nation would be made against cot
ton covered with any light weight,
closely woven material of reasona-
BILE strength. But the third and
most crushing blow to the "com-
bine" on bagging was the sudden
and unexpected recommendation
the Lane cotton mills of New Or
leans that they had succeeded in
manufacturing an article from cot
ton that would meet all the re-
quirements Of a covering for bales,
and that they are prepared to fur
nish it in large quantities. This
cotton bagging has been examined
by a large number of newspaper
men, compress men, members of
the exchange, and others interested
in the matter, and the universal
verdict is that it meets all the re-
quirements of the caue-in fact,
that it is better than jute covering,
its closer texture affording more
protection to the cotton, while its
freedom from the KNAPP that renders
jute 30 liable to take fire makes it
much preferable to the insurance
men. 1t has been amply tested by
various congresses, and all agree
as to its strength and fitness as q
covering for cotton bales.
This is indeed a wonderful vic
tory for our farmers, andsit speaks
in thunder tones of the importance
of organization among the tillers
of the soil. A few years ago such
. fight against the money power
would have been hopeless, but now,
with the perfect organization and
unanimity afforded through the
State Alliances and Unions, victo-
ry has been assured from the first.
Merchants, carriers, bankers, man.
ufacturers, all begin to respect the
farmers since that they sec they
are acting in concert. Let our
friends take heart from this sue
cess, which has been q most prac-
tical illustration to them that sin
union there is strength"

The Dog Fennel Ticket.

Everybody wants to know what Col.
Ingerson meant at Chicago last week by
calling Cleveland and Thurman the 'sdog
fennel" candidates. 1t has been sup.
posed by some that he really said ''dog
kennel candidates, meaning really an ex-
preston of contempt; but The Press is
happy to state that Col. Ingersoll did not
say this or mean this, and that he had no
intention of setting o bad example by
Singing campaign mud. The expression
''dog fennel' has historic meaning in
this connection, .and it's historic sense is
the sense in which Col. mgersoll used it.
During the war of the rebellion the
Knights of the Golden Circle, copperhead
organization that extended over several
states in the Mississippi valley, used to
drill in back lots, where the ugly weed
known as 'dog fennel" grew, because
they were ashamed to drill in the public
streets or conspicuous parts of town.
James K. Magic, then editor of The Can
ton tllls.) Register, denounced local
by the epithet of DOG Fennel Rangers, :"
which some village genius had applied to
them by q happy inspiration.
The nickname took from the start. It
became the synanym for copperheads in
all that region, and Col. Ingerson, then q
resident of the neighboring county of
Peoria, heard it and salted it down in his
vocabulary of gems of eloquence What
was more natural than that he should ap-
ply it to the ticket composed of Cleveland,
who stayed at home during the war, and
Thurman, whose copperhead sympathies
were notorious? No, the name "Dog
Fennel Ticket" is not mud. 1t is wax,
and it win stick.--New York Press.

"Right in front of that door" he said.
Il received my first lawyers fee. 1t was
the first Sunday in our new home, and I
had walked out ON the sidewalk in the
afternoon and was standing there looking
with some pride st the front of the house
when man elattered up on horseback.
He quickly made known his errand. A
man had been arrested at Clermont, about
eight miles fromshere, on the charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
The rider wished me to appear before the
justice of the peace there for the prosecu-
tion. Iagreed to do so, and he handed
me five dollar gold piece. 1t was not an
enormous fee, but | was glad to have it.
The sum was hardly large enough to war
rant q buggy, SO the next morning rode
to Clermont on the back of pony that I
hired at a stable. came back home that
night pretty well chafed, but / had sue
ceeded IN what went for"
Just as Harrison was beginning to get
start at the law the war came on, and
he was in the field winning military lau-
rels, while he was missing the opportunity
to win legal fees at home. This, and the
attention he has given to politics, includ-
ing the time spent in the United States
senate, has kept Harrison q poor man,
notwithstanding his success as a LAWYER.
But he has gained that which is better
than wealth-comfort in his home and the
respect and affection of his neighbors.

BEN uARR1soN.s B1RTupL,cr.


Ben Harrison lived in this country
place and was seven years old when his
grandfather was elected President. But
his education was cared for by his father.
John Scott Harrison, who had himself
been governor of the northwestern terri
tory and member of congress, and at
the age of 16-an age when the tastes,
the intellectual culture and the social
bearing are principally formed-the youth
was entered at the Miami universityI at
Oxford, Ohio. Here he spent two years,
being graduated at 1S. Here also in this
atmosphere of study Harrison met his
wife, q daughter of DR.. Scott, the pro-
lessor of chemistry at the university,
Mrs. Harrison bears evidence of her early
surroundings. She is woman of rare
culture and her attachments are manifest
from the fact of her being prominent
and active member of the Ladies' Literary
society of Indianapolis. She is also ex-
tremely fond of painting and has done
some excellent work on china herself. A
great deal of her attention is given to the
Indianapolis Orphans home
AT 2l years of age, with profession,
$500 and wife Harrison went to Indiannp-
oils and swung out his sign The house in
which the young couple first lived in In

politics to be run by clique of Albany

whose members (Garland) is in disgrace,

Because he signed the rebel war flag
order as silly bit of clap trap and re.
canted on false grounds.
Because he stayed away from the st.
Louis encampment when he should have
gone and went when it was apparent it
was to patch up sore.
Because he took q "ghoulish glee' in
vetoing widows pensions-often on

Because the government has been
forcibly feeble throughout under his ad-
ministration-full of cheap buncombe, of
toadying to southern sentiment and of
lneddle muddle experiments in tariff mat

Because he has proved a weak man
where he was thought strong man, u
vain man in his lodging of criticism
where he was thought to be too earnest
and too well poised to care for opposition
of any sort, a stubborn man where he
was thought a firm one-as in the Gar
land case, and while claiming to be a rep
resentative of Democratic ideas has kept
the great leaders of Democracy at bay
and divided itin congress for no motive
that can be guessed unless fear of
rivalry or a selfish determination to ad-
vance his own fortunes at any cost.

Cavalry Troops on the March.

There is nothing particularly exciting
or delightful in tramping along at trot
In o cavalry column. The clouds of dust
sent up by the thousands of hcof beats fill
eyes, nose and air passages, give external
surfaces uniform dirty gray color, and
form such an impenetrable veil that for
many minutes together you cannot see
even your hand before you. Apparently
just at the point of impending suffocation
a gentle. sigh of wind makes rift, and a
free breath is inspired. Dust and horse
hairs penetrate everywhere. Working
under the clothing to the skin, and fixed
by the sweat, the sensation is as though
one was covered by q creeping mass of in
sects. Accumulations occur in the pock-
cts; the rations come in for their full
share, and with the bacon particularly, so
thoroughly do dirt and horse hairs be-
come incorporated that no process of
cleansing car remove them.-Lieut. A. B.

On passing down the Ohio river by the
old fashioned steamboat mode of travel,
about twenty miles south of Cincinnati,
one may look up on to one of the hills on
the north side of the river and see the
white shaft that marks the grave of Old
Tippecanoe. 1t was hereabout that Ben
Iarrison-who, half century after his
grandfather had led his party to victory,
takes up the standard for the same pur-
pose--spent his childhood. Though the
great grandchild of governor of Vir-
ginia and grandchild of president of the
United States, Ben Harrison was not city
born and bred. In 1888 Cincinnati, which
is twenty miles distant from North Bend,
had population of less than 10000 peo-
pie, and the only way of getting there
was by stage or by the river. North
Bend was as quiet as the present site of
President Harrson's grave.
