Tue Republican Valley Echo, pub
lished at Franklin, Nebraska, seems to
have taken exceptions to what Milford
G. Gibson said about the west and in
dulges IN great many naughty say
ings. Mr.. Gibson informs us there
were few inaccuracies in our article
IN regard to the mortgages on farms.
lie says the people with whom he con-
vcrsed told him the farms were mort
gagged for what they were worth, and
the Echo admits the soft impeachment
by saying, farms are not mortgaged
at the rate he mentions, as our capital
lists are not such b e fools;' that coal
never sell for over 81 for soft and S12
for hard coal, says the Echo. We
would remind our western contempo-
rary that Mr. Gibson is an honorable
man that his word is as good as his
bond with those who know him. and
what he related to the ARGUS about
the west was done, not in spirit of
malace or to injure tie west, but sim
ply as his experience and observation
while travelling in that section. If
what he says about the west lis tissue
OF falsehoods from beginning to end,
and it will be observed the Echo
quite agrees with him in a great many
things-hc must charge his own peo-
pie with being the author Of those false
hoods, although we arc 10th to believe
that even the western people would be
guilty Of downright falschood-only
coilosal exaggcration of their wonder

capitalists paying newspapers to boom

men who paid them and you know.

eiple taught the Grecian youth-to tell
the truth.

No woman can complain that it is
impossible to gain information Oh any
subject of which she wishes knowledge
if she is q reader of Demorcst's Month

conclusion after looking through the
March number Of this valuable publ
cation, for not only does it contain mat
ter interesting to every member of the
family, but the publisher encourages
women of all classes to write for auy
desired information, and the Cores
pondcnce Club certainly shows that
they take advantage Of this opportu-
nifty 1t must require great research
to answer the numerous inquiries, and
it is surprising what questions of gen.

Nebraska pays double the amount of
taxes the State of West Virginia pays
on the same amount Of taxable prop
erty. Those of our farmers who COM
plain of high taxes here should remem-
Der this. Again, we were shown sew
eral letters by Mr.. Gibson which he
received from farmers in the States
which he visited, asking him if he did
not want to buy their farms They
never failed to mention the fact that
they were not land agents, but wanted
to sell their own farms. If Nebraska
and other western States are so pros
porous, why is it their own people want
to sell their farms and emmigrate, is
the question We would be pleased to
have the Echo answer.
No, Bro. Echo, in ten years from
now the injunction of the lamented
Horace Greeley will be changed, and
it will be: Go east, all We who would
prosper, and grow up with the country
where cyclones and billiards. are UNI
known, and you can buy ton Of coal
for 2 and keep from freezing to death =
In conclusion, We would say to our
Bro. Echo that Mr.. Gibson was not a
'homesick man, for lac spent several
years in the west when a young man,
and was we'll acquainted with the west.
His last visit was that of pleasure aud
to pay visit to relatives and friends.

VICTORY!!

The election held in this State last

Duffy and Fitzpatrick (of the {" Big

that ring-ridden city.
In our own parish of st. Landry, ev-
cry candidate on the ticket nominated
by the Democratic Parish Convention,
save one, was elected a majority oi
over 600 for Nichols has been secured
and the correctness of the CoURIER's
claim that, notwithstanding it's dis,
memberment, old st. Landry is still a
Democratic parish, has been abundantly
demonstrated. The defeated candidate
referred to is DR.. z: :, Young, for the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Albert
Gnidry, independent Democrat, being
elected in his stead.

tricts composed of st. Landry and Aca-

State Election.

N. o. Times Democrat, April 10.
We give elsewhere the returns from The
parishes, nearly all of which have come In.
They indicate the largest Democratic vote
polled, and the largest Democratic majority,
exceeding 65, 600.
The Republicans made their most vigorous
campaign since 1876 they spoke in every por-
tion of the State, attempted to organize the
party and to form combinations with the
Democrats. The party showed considerable
vitality and at one time promised to poll "a
large and threatening vote, but this vitality
was only temporary In the very midst of the
campaign the Republican party went TO
pieces.
The white people, who feared that with "a
return of WarmOth to power there would be a
return of the system which prevailed under
him, organized and threw some life and vigor
into the Democratic campaign. The negroes
did not see where they were being benefited
by the canvass and deserted by the hundreds,
and finally broke into general rout. When
the election came around the Republicans
were demoralized beyond all recovery. They
carried but ten of fifty-eight parishes in
| creased their vote but little over that of pre-.
| vious years, while the nomination of Warmoth h
had the effect of bringing out the largest
| Democratic vote ever polled in Louisiana.

State for the week has been slightly in ex-
cess of the normal, ranging from one degree
above in the Southern Section to five degrees
above the Normal in the Northeastern Sec

Preeipitation--The rainfall has been above
the Normal in the Northeastern Section,
about normal in the Northern, Northwestern
and Central Sections; while for the S0Hs'.
Central and Southern portion of the State
there has been slight deficiency in the rain

week in April.
The heaviest rain within the week occurred

Sunshine-The percentage of sunshine dur

all the parishes reporting, excepting Cadao
tNorthwestI from which o deficiency ia re-
ported.
General Remarks-For the State as a whole
the farmers have had another week of fine
| weather. Under the high temperature, warm

| OF vegetation has been rapid and farm work
| has been pushed rapidly forward. Only from
| the Red River bottoms in the Northwestern
