LIBERAL ADVERTISERS.

The Woodland Park sale, was, as eN-
pectcd, advertised and predicted-fair
to buyers and fair to sellers. The sell
ers made good profit, and the buyers
will mako even larger profits The Wis
itors who came to attend the sale, wo
are informed, have already invested
over S3OO, 900 in Roanoke since yester-
day morning, exclusive of the Park sale,
and will pass the 100000 line before
the sun goes down tonight.
The people of Roanoke should fully
and clearly understand one thing. The
great lover which the shrewd mana
gers OF the Woodland Park sale
worked to make 4 success of their en-
terpriso was adyertising-libcral yet
iudioious advertising.
They advertised their own sale, but
Roanoke rcaped even greater benefit.
They spent probably 100000 to make
:. success OF their undertaking, and in
consequence half million in Roanoke
realty finds ready investors.
It pays 10 advertise.

THE FORCE BILL AS AN ISSUE.

Senator Quay is reported as saying
that the fate of the force bill will be
determined by the result of the fall
elections. Should Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Wisconsin go Democratic it means
the death of the bill.
That is putting pretty hard limos on
the Democracy, to compel them to carry
three Northern Republican States on an
issue which is exclusively Southern.
The bill is a perncious one, and ought
to be defeated regardless of Democratic
success or failure in the fall elections.
on general issues it should he ample
evidence that the Force bill should be
dropped.

The assassination of Chief of Police
Hennessy, OF New Orleans, is the sequel
of q series of events no less remarkable
than, and in many points resembling,
the famous Mollie Mcguire trials in

There are thousands of Italians and
Sicilians in New Orleans, among whom
the dreaded Malta had acquired great
strength. Robbcries and murders were

One little incident Of the elections
shows the value one woman placed upon
the opportunity of voting-perhaps the
only opportunity she will ever have.
She is a colOred woman and lives a5Out
one and half miles from the Court
house, which distance she walked to vote.
But once there she did not know under
what name she had her property assess
ed. The commissioners could not find
the name she gave. She returned home
) miles-gOt her tax receipt and came
again to the polls-41s miles-her name
was found and she voted against the tax.
She necessarily went back home-6
miles. Her tax receipt showed that she
had paid 2Jcts. taxes.-Iberia Democrat.

Seine of our friends seem to believe We
are going to inaugurate a crusade
against he lottery because we denOunce
the Progressive League in this parish
but they are mistaken, our views Oh the
lottery question are unchanged, we be-
lieve in rechartering the lottery, but the
organization of the Progressive League
in this parish, Is an imposition Oh our
people, having been organized without
consulting them, hence our opposition
to this organization. We will take this
occasion to tell TO our readers that our
columns are open for the discussion Of
all public matters.
We are told that the Progressive
League mass meeting held at Breaux
Bridge last Sunday was not very sue
cGsSful, only about 100 persons were pre-
sent, when only one Of the prominent
speakers, Mr.. III. {. CastelanOs, addressed
the meeting, the others probably finding
the meeting too small to spend their
ammunition. We are glad to see the
people of Breaux Bridge getting some
sense, and Notwithstanding the barbi-
cued heef, did not rally around the self
constituted officers OF political organ
izatiOn, for personal purposes. Let the
people conduct their own political affairs
and select their own leaders, and not be
imposed upon. even if it be at Breaux
Bridge, let the citizens Of that place
show the politicians that they are no
more tools.
AT about o'clock Tuesday evening
the whistle of the Steamer DantOn and
the Oil Works gave fire alarm which
was soon followed by the bells of the en-

scene of the fire. which was on a fiat
boat and on the Steamer Danton. Sever.
al bales Of cotton, about 10, took fire
from sparks coming from the furnace Of
the boat, and were soon wrapped in the
flames. Fortunately several Of the en-
plOyerS Of the Railroad were on the
wharf at the bayOn when tie fire broke
out, and with their assistance the hands
of the boats succeeded in throwing over
beard the burning eetteH from the fat,
and the steam engine was made to play
a heavy stream on tie Danton, which
was loaded with over hundre;. bales Of
cotton. The boat was not damaged, but
the 4g bales Of cotton thrown in the ba-
you, were cOnsi ,erably injured.
