Mr.. Ell. Dudley Coleman. who
managed to slip into Congress from
the second district has again been
placed in nomination by the Repub.
licans. It is claimed that a number
Of Democrats will support Mr.. Cole,
mai and this has undoubtedly been
the prime incenture for the abuse
which is now being hurled at his
head by the press of New Orleans
No respectable Democrat can afford
to vote for a Republican just at this
j~unctare Of affairs; but that is no rea.
son why the campaign should be
one of vituperation. There ehonId
be an abundance of solid argument
why Coleman should not be returned
to congress without resorting to an
appeal to our passions and pre-.

The Police Jury of Grant parish
are evidently a lot of pot hunters
and believe in exterminat ng the
game as fast as possible. They
have annulled the State game law
protecting deer, cartridges and tur-
key by passing an ordinance decIar-
ing that the period in which it shall
be unlawful to kill airy of the afore-
mentioned game shall be, and the
same is hereby limited to the time
from the last day of April of each
year to the second day Of May of
each year. It's a pity the law against
manslaughter protects such a lot Of
chumps.

Every indication points to o rigid
enforcement of the new anti.lottery
Postal Bill by the Federal anthoritis
and we agree with a confere that
a newspaper which for the sake Of
the revenue derived from lottery
advertising, renders its patrons
liable to disgrace and punish
ment is, to say the least, pursuing
a reprehensible policy. fit believes
the law %unjustly Oppressive and IN,
constitutional, the more manly course
would be to boldly violate it and
thus bring the question to a test
before the court.

One OF our friends wants to know
II We ever saw a bald headed woman
No we never did. Why should we?
Nor we never saw a woman waltz
ing around in her shirt sleeves with
a cigar between her teeth, stepping
into every saloon she saw. We
never saw a woman 90 fishing with
q bottle in each pocket, sit on the
damp ground all day and go home
drunk at night. Neither have we
seen q woman yank off her coat spit
on her hands and say she can whip
any son OF a gun in town. No God
bless her, she amt built that way

Complaints of the methods Of the
New Orleans merchants are quite COM
non in this locality, A Natchiroches
paper says Hwhile New Orleans is ask
ing for the trade of Louisiana people
and complaining bitterly that they
trade elsewhere the Review suggests
that they do away with certain charges
which merchants in other cities never
think Of adding to their invoices and
that is for choking, tins, barrels, pack
ing or drayage." New Orleans must
brush off thes old charges if she wants
trade. We saw an invoice. a so fb. ~
TN Of coffee i'm which the tin was
charged $1.00 or at the rate of 2. cents
the pound for the coffee, and when
weighed the tin, Grating, coffee and all
broke the beam at 80 pounds. While.
not charging for tins the city merchants
would do well to have an eve on their
weights, if they expect trade.1

publican sheet says Of Warmoth
He cannot deceive any one by an
anti-lottery clause in his platform.
The lottery amendment was not
passed over the G%overnors's veto
and will not be submitted to the
people for approval or rejection.
Moreover, the anti-lottery law just
enacted by Congress is sufficient
almost Of itself to squeeze the life out
OF. the Lottery Go. The concern is
in articulo mortas, and it is therefore
safe now TO declare against it.

The truth is, the public, the read.
ing public-and that is the great
majority-are out Of their swad.
ding clothes. and are fully able to
take care OF themselves. They feel
that the teaching Of the teachers for
the last thousand years has been
in many directions a %flilure, for
they see and feel the disabilities all
about them. New literature is on y
the discussion Of these felt things.
Drunkenness. poverty, squalor, vice,
crime, and suffering are everywhere,
and, as a rule, it is the innocent that
suffers. A man comes ont of church
to run against a policeman drag
ging a crazed, bleeding, bespotted
fallen being to prison; and as he
rides home in his carriage, his ears
are fretted with the cries OF a poor
wife, beaten by a brute hal the SER
mon he has been listening to says
she must not leave. And when
these things are discussed, hands
are held up in holy horror at the
Dissertation of a holy institution.
Now, the people of the nineteenth
century are not going to be scared
from writing about or reading what
is written on these subjects. and
that fact can be fond cut no better
or more fully than by going to the
bookstores and some Of these days,
before this world is many decades
older, this reading will take The
form in action. Mankiod is begin
ing to understand that the first duty
of lite is the pursuit Of happiness"
The declaration was a dead letter ID
the civil sense for nearly a century,
and it is still a dead letter in a
social sense. The way TO reform
this world is not for the innocent,
the weak ard the defenceIess to
suffer that the strong, the brutal and
the selfish may have their way.
God never intended a man to be a
slave, though the teachers Of the
oracles Of God SO held for thousands
of years. Nor is it any more right
that women and children should live
in constant want, fear or suffering
because some brute has the sanction
Of this century old barbarism behind
him. Society is in far more danger
from those born ind brought up M.
der those conditions than from any
state of immunity or protection.
Our iails. penetentiaries, aims houses.
houses Of refuge and schools of re
form prove this SO clearly that civil
zation itself is almost ready to des
pair, and the people will read and
think as they please to read and
think on these things. So, at least,
say the bookstores.-The Kansas
