arc now sacrificed. Out upon the gnarled

OUR PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Con
gressional Convention in session here
last week does not meet with favor in
every locality-for instance, in New
Orleans where the States and 9th Item
are published.
The first named journal congratu-
lates the party on the nominee, and
assumes that there will he no difficult
ty about his election. Concerning the
platform, however, the same paper
has this to say:
1--WE cannot commend the platform of
the convention, as whole, with the
same cordiality that we endorse the nom
inee. Indeed, We're several of the meas
ures demanded in that pronuncimento Sc
cured, we should have in the course of
a few years terrible financial crisis, fol-
lowed by widespread disaster and rniu ::
and the farmers and wage earning classes
would be the first to feel the blow. We
would have cheap money, and abundance
OF 1T, it is true. But, if there is one thing
lar movements, such as is sweeping over
the country now, aud which has gather
ed the farmers in its wllirl, ought to have
rubbed into the minds of the classes we
refer to, more than any other, it is that
cheap money means, in the end, disaster
to the industrial and vast speculative
gains by the capitalistc classes"
The Item bitches on to the subject
snder the heading of "Wild Cat and
Red Dog" and has a column article
on the subject. Listen to what it has
to say:
"Ihe Fourth District Democratic Con-
gressiOnal Convention has reversed the
rule of conduct of Charles ii, of Enr-
land, the so-called "Merry Monarch"
who was said by one of tile wits of his
day to have "never said foolish thing
nor ever did wise one" The conven-
ton nominated Hon. N. C. Blanchard for
reelection, and this was, no doubt,
Wise move; but at the same time it adop-
ted rambling and comprehensive
platform IN fiat opposition, in some res
poets, to MIR. Blanchards clearly express
ed opinions, and contrary in one Or two
important matters, to the prevailing sem
timent everywhere outside of the Fourth
District. The platform aftirms the policy
of what is generally known as the far
mer's sub-treasury bill, which is sort of
impracticable scheme to convert the gov
ernment into great commission agency
to take charge of all farm products and
issue fiat money to the amount of the
value which the farmers may think fit to
place upon it, and hold it for q rise. Mr. |

"Take a little wine for your stom-

advice. "Take little Pe-ru-na for

bids fair to become equally famous.
The stomach is at once most deli

between its delicacy and its abuse, it
is no wonder that it is constantly Civ

medicine that will help the stomach so

pecially in summer time is it a valna-

MEXICAN LOTTERY SAINT.
HE FIGHTS THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY
COMPANY, BUT BUYS MFX-
lCAN LOTTERY
STOCK.

Among the prominent members of
the AntiLottery League in the city of
New Orleans is Mr.. Chas. Holloway,
of the firm of Holloway & Gardes.-
In season and out of season he has re-
viled the Louisiana State Lottery as
the embodiment Of all that is corrupt,
venal and damnable. He has warned
the unsuspecting Louisianian who re-
sides in the interior against the fonl
monster q who, as he has constantly
alleged, "was sucking the life-bood
of the State" Yet Mr.. Holloway, it
seems, is not entirely saint; he is
part saint and part sinner-cLiefy sin
ner. He has himself tasted the for
hidden fruits of Lottery stock, and
worst of all, when eang't at it, plead
ed the baby act, and endeavored to
get out of it on the ground that the
transaction in which he himself will
ingly engaged was Immoral and ille-
gal, because, as the court put it, the
firm who bought the Lottery stock for
him and Mr. Holloway himself were
'!joint adventures in ini1nity." 1t is
not difficult proceeding to conceive
that there are many good and true
men who are opposed to the renewal
of the charter of the Louisiana Lotto
ry, but it is not saying too much, we
feel sure, to declare that Mr.. Hollo-
way is not one of them.
On the Goth day of May, 1890, be-
fore the Court of Appeals of the city
of New Orleans, was decided the suit
of Frank A. Lee & Go. VS.. Charles
Holloway. This was an action brought
by the plaintiffs for brokerage, ETC., GU
stocks or shares Of the Mexican Lot
terry sold 10y Lee & Co. for Hollo-
ways account. The dcfendapt-the
aforesaid member in high standing of
the Anti-Louisiana Lottery Leagne-|
pleaded immortality and illegality of
the stock and the court sustained the
plea. ln its decision the Court said |
courts 0! justice are not to be called |
upon to adjust the balance of profit
and loss between joint Adventures in
iniqnity. The law, whose mission is
to right the innocent and to enforce
the performance of licit obligations
only, leaves parties who trade in for
hidden things and break faith with
one another to such mutual redress as
their own standard of honor NAV
award"
Now, Mr. Holloway is surely shi-
ning example of the loftiness of pur.
pose and purity of motive which ami
mates many members of the Anti Lou
sana Lottery League. Their moral
~ is sky-high when dealing with the
erlstlng monster (?), but that same
morality strikes terra fynaa with re-
sounding thud when the Mexican mon
'ter looms up before their gaze
