Whatever there is of mystery connected

time past in tbs person OF

president were satisfied that Miller
could be confirmed his name would
be sent in at once. The same gentleman
further expressed his opinion that the
president was hesitating between Miller
and Spooner of Wisconsin, aud rs being
extremely in favor of the latter should it
be demonstrated that the attorney-gen-
eraI could not get the approval OF the

KERP UP WITH THE TIMES.

The world is getting wiser every day.
Mankind is constantly advancing from
the old to the new. AS it is with Relig-
ion, Art and Science, so it is with Medi.
cine. Each day adds to our knowledge
of the human body, and therefore to our
ability to cure its many ills. The day of
gripping, purging, facilitating pills, for
instance, is rapidly passing away, and
their place being taken by Bowel Regu-
lator whose action is natural and easy
yet effective. Such medicine is Man a.
lin, gentle laxative that acts directly
upon the Liver and Kidneys, and leaves
no bad effects. 1t neither gripes nor
purges. 1t not only cures. constipation,
but all the disorders and diseases arising
from it, and when taken from time to
time in small doses, prevents constipation
altogether. If you need tonic, take
Pe-ru-na. If your blood is diseased, you
will find nothing better than La-cu-pi-a.

Boiling the Democratic Party

The Convention of the Farmers
Union, of the Fourth Congressional
District of this State, in session a,
Natchitoches, yesterday nominated r.
j. Guice, State lecturer of the Union,
as an independent candidate for con.
gress against N. G. Blanchard, the
Democratic nominee.
The Tines Democrat called atten.
ton some time ago to the operations
OF the disorganizers in the fourth dis.
trict, and expressed the fear that thew
would bolt the Democratic party and
attempt to create divisions within its
ranks. someof the anti-journals were
qnite certain that the Farmers Union
in no district of the State would array
itself in antagonism to the Democratic
party or put out an independent can
didate. Ascusual, they we're mistaken.
A bolt of any kind in Louisiana is
dangerous, because we know we'll that
with the Republicans oonspiring
against us success is to be achieved
only by union and harmony. And
there bas been no time in our history
since 1876 when it was more neces.
sary for the white people to be united,
as the Republicans, with absolute con-
troll of Congress, are threatening this
section with the most hostile laws.
The Democracy of Louisiana can
now no longer doubt that there are
traitors and disorganizers scithin its
ranks, men who, while calling them.
selves Democrats, would create; dis.
sensions and in the hour of need be-.
tray the party and all it means to
white civilization.
Mr.. Blanchard deserves the support
of every Democrat in his district
Those who bolt his nomination are
practical allies of the Republicans in
their conspiracy to break up the Dem
ocratic party and turn over the State
to negro rule. Times. Democrat, o.

The Republican party in the
North is chatterbox of inconsistent
cies. Its representatives in the
South are office-hunters, time servers,
political quacks, whose only ambition
is to secure the salary and perquisites
of official patronage. The Republi-
can party is menace to constitutional
liberty. The record of The fifty-frst
Congress brands it With rank section
alism. 1t is the worst ever gathered
together at Washington since the
foundation of the government. There

Says North Louisiana exchange:
The manner in which the civil service
laws are observed is a farce of the
first water. Recently Maj. J. Shaw
Jones, formerly Of Ouachita parish,
was dismissed from his position in the
Now Orleans custom house without
any known cause. Congressman Boat
ner complained to the civil service
commissioner in reference thereto,
he was coolly informed that the com.
missioner could do nothing unless it
was shown that Jones was assessed
for campaign purposes and refused to
rattle mp. So it will be seen that the
commissioner acknowledges only one
ground by which removals can be set
aside.
