OF our Statesmen, bnt IA more vital
question has our attention, and that is

drctlon OF DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, there has been a
marked decrease in the mortality from
this dreaded disease. and it is possible
TO still further reduce the number of
C"nsumptives. How? By keeping
constantly at hand a bottle of Dr..
Kings New Discovery and using ac-
cording to directions, upon the appear
ance OF the first symptoms, such as a
Cough, u Cold, a Sore Throat, a Chest,
or Side Pain. Taken thus early a cure

its aaid that there arc Democrats
in this State who sympathizc with tho
purposes Of Chambers Louisiana cleo
tion resolution aud who would even
rejoice should Senator Gibson lose his
seat in the Senate. The Democratic
party in this State must be about as
far, if not further, from harmony than
it eyer was, and Gen. Nichols has
been Governor almost a year, too
Homer Journal.
You are right, brother Hulse. The
only surprise to us is that you, with
so many other unprecedented gentlemen
in the State, were not able to foresee
this before the last State convention
was held. The Cdligraph opposed
the nomination of Gov. Nichols be-
cause it did not believe that is was
possible to harmOnize the party with
Nichols as Governor. And now SCI
how beautifully our prophecy is being
fulfilled.-Ruston Caligraph.
The c~aliyyuph may be right in it's
assertion that the party has not yet
been harmonized, but we hope there
is no foundation in the report noticed
by the Homer Journal that there '.are
Democrats who sympathise with the
purposes of Chambers resolution, ETC."
Senator Gibson is one Of Louisiana's
Representatives, and whether we adj
mire him or not, we must ever bear in
mind that any blow from the United
States Senate at him is a blow direc-
ted against our beloved State. It is
for this reason that those Democrats
who opposed his aspirations should
unite with his supporters in r~esenting
and repelling interference of even so
august a body us the United States
Senate with our domestic affairs.
Louisiana Democrats may so far for
get themselves us to indulge at times
III little family squabties, but our
knowledge of their temperament
teaches us that they may be relied on

"BOOdle."

The origin of the word "boodlen is
thus given by the Cincinnati CONNER
cidi Gazette:
The word "boodle" has gone into the
United States language. Eastern
newspapers, even those of Boston, use
it without quotation marks. We be-
lieve the word originally appeared in
the Commercial Gazette in a report of
the great American express robbery in
Cincinnati several years age. One
Sunday afternoon a one-horse wagon
was driven up to the Office on Race
street, a small iron travelling safe
loaded on, taken across the river into
Kentucky and rifed. Larry Hazep.
the famous old detective, was en-
pl"yed by the express company to
work mp the case, and he succeeded
in recovering most of the one
When met by a reporter at the police
station after the lucky capture, Hazen
threw mp his hands in a happy mood
and exclaimed: "We've got the
boodle" The word was afterwards
used to denote money used for dishon-
purposes in local politics, and dis
reputable politicians in the city and
State came to be known as "boodlers,
and their party rs the "bOodlc party.n
The word spread in usage and is now
throughout the country.

THE CHANGE OF PRESIDENT.

On Monday last Gen. Harrison was
sworn in as President of the United
States with appropriate ceremonies.
The oath of Office was administered by
Chief Justice Fuller, of the United
States Supreme Court, in the presence
of immense crowds Of spectators. who
stood in IA pelting rain to witness the
imposing ceremony. 1t is SAID that
both the president-elect and the chief
justice stood bare headed in the rain
during the administration of the oath.
The president then read the inaug-
ural address, which was a lengthy one,
and has been pretty we'll received by
the country at large. The people OF
the South will be glad to Learn that
the president has no Southern policy.
if We may judge by his inaugural ad-
dress. He declares for q free ballot
generally-for the North as well as
the Southland suggests the education
OF the masses as the proper means to
secure so desirable an end. This is As
it should be. The president is the
president of the whole United States,
not of a particular section only, and
there is no reason why he should have
a Southern policy any more than a
Northern, an Eastern or Il Western
policy. Such sectional policies only
serve to stir up the dying embers of
sectional hatred and harm the whole
country.
Let the President of the United
States have a national policy if he will
"a policy which looks to the promo
ton of the general welfare and to the
security of the whole people-and he
may count on the people of the United
States, irrespective of party utilization.
to stand by him. Such a policy would
appeal to our patriotism and meet with
no half-hearted response.

Thousands upon thousands of
dollars are spent every year by
pleasure and health seekers in the
state of Tennessee in visiting the
seashore and watering places during
the heated term. The city of Mem
phis alone contributes an immense
amount every summer in this line.
The citizens of Bolivar are extreme
ly fortunate IN this respect, living as
we do in one Of the heAlthliest towns
in the entire state, as STATISTICS
prove. Within three miles of our
town the celebrated Dunlap Springs
are situated, which from the health
giving properties of their waters
have become famous in this section
OF country. We have five differ

we possess; but who are willing to
share them with strangers seeking
