of a cap which bears her name

was to pay $500 for a farm and
then stock it with twenty-five horses

How it WIIrtWork.

The Lottery Republicans Of Louis.
through John a. Morris, have
offered $3.50, GOD per annum, for
twenty five years, to this State, for a
monopoly charter granting them the
exclusive right to run the in lottery
in Louisiana for twenty-five wears.
IF this State should accept the OF.
FER, where would you find Morris
and bis Republican friends all in a
lump, say every two years At
Baton Rouge-not in the P~eniteatia.
ry where some of the bride gfvers
ought to be-hatH in and around the
State House, getting bills passed to
suit the purposes of the big gamblers
who say they will give over a mill.
ion dollars per annum to the State
for l~evees, schools, drainage, pen.
sions, etc.
At,every session Of the Legisla-
ture there would be such disgrace,
full orgies as were witnesses this
year at Baton Roage. Last summer
the Lottery money was spent for
the purpose of passing the Lottery
amendment, and if that amendment
is ever adopted by The people, failure
legislatures will have brides thrust
at them just as openly, in order
that members may legislate so that
Morris can pay the State as easily
and cheaply as possibIe,--buy up
old Indebtedness against the State
at a few cents ON the dollar and
return it to the State Treasury
dollars for dollar.
Then again it would be to the
advantage of Morris and his BE
publican partners to get the State
as much in debt as possible, 80 that
warrants and other Indebtedness
may be had on the market for little
or nothing i: these could be purchas
ed and paid over to the State for
the Lottery license.
Money used in large quantities is
very eorrupting in its Influences
Few men have the strength to say no
to the temper, and the Tewn Talk
is decidedly against raising up in
our midst a hinge brihegiving con,
Germ to tempt and ruin our public
men; cause this State to be still
further pat in debt: and make louis.

Congressman VIM. D. Bynum, Of
Indiana, who is a prominent candid.
ate for speaker Of the next house.
owes a good deal Of his ascent in the
political world to a wonderful. will
power. He goes after what he
wants, and his self assertion, backed
up by brains, has succeeded so far
lie was an humble country lawyer
in Washington, Ind, a decade ago,
was elected mayor in 1879, and
carried out all the reforms he pro.
missed. He then notified his con.
s%ti'uents that he was going to
Indianapolis to be sent to congress,
and departed for the Indiana capital.
His individuality soon made itself
fefl. he was elected to the legisla.
ture and, although comparatively a
new mar in State Democratic coun.
ellis, announced himself as the next
speaker and won. That was in
1881, and shortly afterwards he
secured the nomination for congress
in what was considered a Republi-
can district. He made a string
campaign, landed in the high place
he aimed for, and has been re.elect.
ed yer since, each time by an in
creased majority.

A Remarkable Book by Rev
t. Dewitt TaInage, DID,

This is said to be a year of re,
markable books, but doubtless the
most remarkable that will appear
for some time to come is Rev. I.
Dewitt Talmage's new work Oh the
Life of Christ apd Palestine and
its People" Some idea of what the
book contains and how it was
prepared may be obtained by read.
ing the following extract from the
Doctors preface
"ln my American home, on the
Atlantic, on Mediterranean, on
camel's back, on mules back, on
horseback, under chandelier, by dim
candle in tent on Lake Galiee, in
convent, at Bethul where Jacobs
pillow was stuffed with dreams and
the angels of the ladder landed: at
the brook Elah, from which little
David picked up the ammunition Of
five smooth stones, four more than
were needed for crushing like an
egg-shell the skull Of Goliath; mand
Astronomy halted; on the plain Of
| Esdraelon, the battle field Gf ages
ats long red flowers suggestive Of
the blood dashedto the bits of the
horses brides; amid the shattered
masonry Of Jericho, in Jerusalem
that over.shadows all other cities
in Renaissance, at Cana where
plain water became festal beverage,
on Calvary whose asInnt and ruptur.
ed rocks still the effects Of the
earthquake at the awful hemorrhage
of the FIVE wounds that purchased
the worlds rescue, and with my
hand mittened from the storm, or
barred to the sun, or gliding over
smooth table, this book has been
written"
This book will certainly be worth
reading and preserving. Il is not
| only a life of Christ from An entirely
new standpoint, but it is also a
very interesting history Of q country
and people who occupy a prominent
place in the thoughts and feelings
Of all Christian nations. The large
number of excellent pictures of
places and scenery in the Holy Land
with which the volume is illustrated
give it a special interest and value.
WI cannot all go to Palestine, but
this elegant book, through the aid
OF its pictures and DR.. Talmage's
wonderful descriptions accompany.
ing them, brings Palestine to our
very doors. The book is indeed a
positive necessity to a proper un-
derstanding Of the Bible accounts of
places and events. W. can under.
stand and appreciate Bible history all
the better wheB we see Photographic
representations'of the places where
this history was made. From MAN.
GER TO THRONE" marks a new ear
in the literature Of Bible Lands, and
we are not surprised to learn that
the demand for the book is phenome.
nal. 1t is sold on the exclusive
territory basis, and persons desiring
to secure agencies will find the Pub
fishers announcement in, another
column.
