Our neighbor, the Times, in re-
cent issue publishes the following :
"Whatever Judge Blacknan's op,n-
ion on the lottery question per Sc, he
has all along labored within his sphere
to keep it out of politics; holding that
each Democrat should go to the polls
and deposit his ballot for or against
the amendment; that the advocacy of
or opposition to the measure should not
be considered test of party fealtv.
In brief he has regarded the autonomy
of the Democratic party as far and
away above every other question or
consideration.
And in this he was eminently ri ght.
The friends of the amendment are De-
mocrats first and last They would
have wished to conduct this campaign
without bitterness, looking npon the
recharter of the lottery as a business
proposition upon which men wonld
honestly differ. Those opposed to
the amendment would NOT have it so. D

Here is some arithmetic for you.
Each member of the alliance, we are
told, pays 10 cents per quarter or 40
cents year, to the national fund, for
the support of national officers, lectu-
rers and newspapers. There, ARE said
to he 10000 members of the alliance
in Louisiana, and if so, they..contrib-
ute in the aggregate $4,000 a year.
In twenty-five years the amount will
be 100000, all of which goes away
from the State, not to return. How
much good will result to the farmers
from the expenditure of this money!
Not dollar; not dime-it is worse
than wasted, because it goes into the
pockets of political frauds and noun
tebanks.-[ Baton Rouge Advocate.

THE RIGHT VIEW OF TT

The Crowley Signal'occupies ex-
actly the same position as the South
on the revenue amendment. Hear it
The revenue amendment should not
he forced into politics. nor should it
play any part in the nomination of
candidates for State or parish Offices.
1t is simply question of providing
an increased revenue to tue State, and
relieve the necessity of increasing the
taxes upon the people to meet the
pressing expenses of State govern
ment already hnrdensome to our peo-
pie. 1t is essentially side issue that
impairs no mans fealty to the Demo-
cratic party, violates. no plank in the
Democratic platform, and assails no
mars rights or privileges as member
of the Alliance. The question is sim
ply: Shall We create this additional
revenue for the relief of the State, or
vote it down and have our State food
ed with Mexican, Havana and Ger
man lottery tickets, which will pay
the State no revenue at all, but carry
large amount of money entirely out
of the StateY
The "woods are full of rabid ants"
who are seeking Office at the hand of
the people who would do we'll to profit
by the above lecture. We have al
ready stated that we were willing to
see offices divided between the pros
and ants, but if the ants are. deter
mined upon inaugnra,ing an anti cam
paign in this parish, whilst we will
deplore such action as calculated to
split the Democratic party, yet the
battle will be accepted on that line.
We again repeat that there.is no rea-
son nor seuse.in such course. Gen
tlemen, friends, even relatives, can
disagree on the lottery amendment
without waging.. war against each 9th
er and dismembering the only party
that the South can look to for future
success. Will the voters of Iberville
agree to Iberville South.
