The present charter of the Louisi-
ana State Lottery Company, which
is part of the Constitution of the
State, and by decision of the Supre-
me Court of the Unite' States, is an
inviolable contract between the State
and Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany; will remain in force, under
any circumstances, five years longer,
or until 1895. The Louisiana Leg
isluture, which adjourned the other
day, voted, by two thirds majority
in each House, to let the people de.
eide whether the Lottery shall con-
tinue from 1895 until 1919. The
general impression is that the peo-
pie will favor continuance.

The Republicans of the Fourth
Congressional District held their
Convention at Ravenswood on the
3rd, and did what we heartily wish
ed, but hardly dared hope for, NOM
mated Smith, the man who is now
occupying the seat to which Judge
jackson was elected. 1t is needless
TO say that Smith won't touch bot
tom in the water through which he
has to wade, with a hundred foot
pole. But the convention was sat
isfied that no bridge they could
build would take their candidate
safe over, so they thought Smith
might as well be swamped as any
one else Oracle.

Hon. j. B. Menager has contributed
more to the success of the Republi-
can party in this county and State
than any Republican in it. When
the party was in rebellion against its
nominees several years ago in this
county, it was he who counseled
them and brought them into line.
He was promised the nomination
for Congress at the Ravenswood
convention, and had votes enough
to secure it, but when the officehold-
ers and ringsters got together under
the leadership of Collector White,
it was decided to turn him down,
which they accordingly did by re-
nominating Chas. B. Smith, who
had repeatedly said that he was not
a candidate, and was not eft for a
Congressman" Mr.. Menager was
slaughtered as he has always been
and always will be. 1t was AN out
rage upon him and an insult to his
friends in this county, which they
will resent at the polls.

The Huntington, Commercial has
unearthed terrible charge against
Farmer Capehart. He invited a
farmer to sleep in his hay-mow.
Well. we've slept in worse places
and were coniondedly glad of the
chance. When a farmer trusts a
man in his hay-mow, it only shows
that he has unlimited confidence in
him. He isn't afraid that man will
steal one of his horses. We will bet
dollars against dougnuts that the
man who slept in that hay-mow
wasn't Republican.-iSentinsl

ForePaugh-s Great AIl-feafure
SHOW and Grand Wild West
Conn hfnQh

1t is definitely settled that the big
Forepaugh Show will soon exhibit
at Gallipolis and Charleston and as
some changes have taken place in
the great enterprise since its last
visit TO this neighborhood, we clip
the following from the Philadelphia
Press.
"The Forepaugh show ushers in
the season of 1890 in better form
than even that great institution ever
before opened a season in all the
twenty-seven consecutive years it
has been the leader of American
shows. In 1864 Mr.. Adam Fore
paugh organized his show, and from
that time to the opening of this
season, its founder conducted and
annually enlarged the enterprise,
until now it stands the oldest, rich
est, greatest and grandest amuse-
ment that ever remained for more
than quarter of a hundred years
under one mans name and manage
ment. 1t is the only show in the
history of circuses that has ever re-
manned the same and operated un-
der the same title for that length of
time. 1t never changed its name;
it never was owned by a company,
a trust, or firm. 1t always has been
and always will be managed by a
Forepaugh, and now that its found
er is no longer its guide, it will be
perpetuated under the proprietor
ship of Jas. e. Cooper with Adam
Forepaugh, Jr., aud John A. Fore
paugh as managers and conducted
on the same high moral plan and
great system that it has always been
from the beginning. Young Adam
Forepaugh had been associate man
ager with his illustrious father for
many years. This year the new
management have much enlarged
the great Wild West. They intro
duce the great features known as
"Custer's Battle" and "Sheridan's
Ride, the two greatest spectacular
productions of the, age. They give
the greatest hippodrome exhibition
ever seen, and the greatest circus
and menagerie exhibits in this coun-
try. 1t is difficult for the uninitiat-
ed to conceive how the present
management gives bigger show
than the original Forepaugh show
had been for years past, but they
do it and do it we'll. +"

Patriotic Appeal.


Recently the eloquent Hon. w.
@. P Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
in discussing the condition OF affairs
now agitating this country, closed
with the following patriotic appeal,
which ought to bear good fruit:
"Gentlemen of the North, why
shall we not come together? Why
can we not lay aside these suspi-
cions2 You cannot take your rotten
borroughs' from the South. You
cannot hold power here by nlercen-
aries put at the polls You cannot
control this House by the use of the
army. You cannot keep political
power by debauching the ballot box
or the jury box. You cannot make
the country one by turning out the
members who are elected by the
people and seating the non elected
by your votes. What you can do is
this: You can aid the people of the
South to build up that country; you
can help us dig our mines, bridge
our rivers, tunnel our mountains,
endow our schools, make our col
leges prosperous, erect our churches,
keep ourselves in the line of prog
ressive march, so that your sons
may come and live among US, buy
our land, enjoy the salubrity of our
climate, throw in their lot with ours,
intermarry in our families so that
while there will still be North and
South, it will be loving and a rich
North, prosperous and a patriotic
South. That is what we Democrats
who, on this side of the chamber,
protest against your rules, desire to
have done by the people who are
behind you at home. 1t is possible
that it can be done? IappeaI to the
Massachusetts of Plymouth; l APP
peal to the Western Reserve settled
by the men who came from New
England; I'appeal to the living sol
diers who met us in battle array; l
appeal to the Christians who kneel
with us at the same altar; / sppeal
to the brave men who recognize
sincerity and bravery. Behind you
| appeal to the living people of the
North. Give us your confidence;
we will deserve it, we do deserve it,
and he who says otherwise does not
know us or does not speak the truth
of us. Applause l have been be-
trayed into these remarks. l had
no purpose of making this speech to
day. | hope that it has been on my
part, free from any other bitter
ness than the bitterness that some
times unconsciously comes to brave
and frank men from being misun-
derstood. | have no interests in the
future that is not bound up with
the best interest of my country. L
am too old to have ambitions, if |
ever had them, and by reason of
service in the Confederate army /
know full we'll that whatever ambi-
ton L might have is bounded by
service in this House. | do not
know how long my services may
continue, for the claims that power
ty puts upon men may take me out
of this House. l speak to-day in
the sight of God and of this body
and of those people who have known
me at home since L was boy, when
| say from the fullness of my heart,
there is no reason why the North
and the South should be apart; there
Is every reasUu why BRAVE art ur1ur-
men of both sections should believe
each other" Loud applause on the
Democratic side.

Blaine does not think protection
is a good thing for the United States,
but that ii 'ras. He now thinks that
"the United States has reached a
point where one ofits highest duties
is to enlarge the area of it's foreign
trade" Which can be done only
by knocking the Mckinley notion
of protection sky high, and letting
down the foreign trade barriers.

this matter Mr.. Blaine is eminently
right, but what does his party think

The farmers and Farmers Alliance
men of this State have very wisely
decided to put no candidate in the
field in this campaign because the
principles and purposes of the far.
mers alliance are identical with the
principles and purposes of the Dem.
ocratic party and they will expires:
their sentiments and exert their
power at the polls by voting the
Democratic ticket. The two cardi.
nal principles of the Democratic
party are, first an economical adj
ministration of the government and
retrenchment in public expendi-
lures, and second, the decrease OF
taxation. One of the leaders of the
Farmers Alliance and an officer in
that organization, speaks of this
new movement as follows:
"This movement is second De.
claration of independence and OF
equal Importance with the first.
The first was protest against pay.
ing tax of few pence on tea.
The second is resistance to the il
legal tax of hundreds of millions a
year. The first was resistance
against paying an unjust tribute to
a King The second is against un-
just bounties to rotton moneyed
aristocracy."
Take the platform ofthe Farmers
Alliance and lay it besides the plat
form of the Democratic party and it
will be seen that they agree in all
essential points. The former is OPP.
posed to the contradiction of pow
er; so is the Democratic party. The
Democratic party of West Virginia,
especIafiy, represents the sentiments
and aims of the farmer, and they
will vote almost unanimously for
the Democratic candidate at tie
coming election.

Now that the Democratic ticket
has been completed by the nomina-
ton of candidates for the various Of
fees to be filled by election this fall,
Democrats should go to work
and prepare for a vigorous cam
paign. Every school district in the
county should be thoroughly or
ganized and the most active, ener-
getic and competent leaders put in
command to manage the campaign.
As Democrats will rely solely upon
an educational campaign TO con-
vince the voter that the Democratic
party is right and that it is TO the
interest of the business and profess
sional men, the farmers and miners,
the mechanics and laborers, to. vote
the Democratic ticket, the distribu-
ton of political literature should be
commenced at once, SO that every
voter may make an intelligent study
of the questions which divide the
two parties. Every Democrat
should consider himself especially
called as an evangelist to win con
verts to the Democratic standard.
We go into the present canvass with
excellent hopes of success, not only
with the State and congressional
tickets but also in the contest for
the local offices.
