ing salaries from the public treasury"
Richland Reacon: "The curse of

DeSoto Democrat: No Alliance
man in this parish can have any ex-
cuse for not using cotton bagging,
because our Parish Union recon-
mended it, and our National Union
adopted it. The whole organization
from the subordinate Unions to the
National Alliance, have pledged the
whole organization to use cotton bag
ging, and although the Trust may try
to bride the brotherhood by offering
jute at less price than cotton, yet
We do not believe that many will vio-
late their most solemn obligations,
and sell their ''birth right for mess
of pottage."

manager of the New Orleans Pacific,
and Maj. Charles Green, spent the
night here ant left this morning, go
ing north over their proposed line
from Alexandria to Trip Station
They say that they will build this
line at once on the survey made some
time since. This action is supposed
to be due to the building of the II.
G. and N. through territory which
has always been claimed by Gould,
and which he is reported as saying
that no other system should occupy.
Capt. Grant also stated that this line
runs through the finest country he
had ever seen for railroad purposes.
