A Level Headed Jury.

There is considerable good
horse sense in the following which
we clip from a Kansas exchange
A real estate agent at Topeka
sued for a commission on a sale
he brought about. The jury were
evidently men that understood
business, as they brought in a
verdict against him on the ground
that as he had no advertisement
in any paper and had no printed
letterheads, cards, &c, he was
not real estate agent

Adopted by the PARISH
Farmers Union, January 5, 1891.

Resolved, that this convention strongly
endorses the ST LANDRY CLARION and re,
commend it to the public as reliable, un'
subsidized, honest local newspaper, deVot-
ed to the interests of the people and hostile
to all monopolies;
Resolved further. that this convention
recommend and advise all the subordinate
Unions in this parish, to officially aid and
support the CLARION, and use their infiu-
ence to increase its circulation and patron
age.
Resolved further, that it be selected as
the Official Organ of our Order In this par
ish.
Whereas, the La State Lottery is trying
at the present time to subvert the wishes
of the people of this State, by mandamus,
and papers sent out by the Progressive
League, and also by a subsidizep press
owned by men acting for or in the interest
of said lottery; therefore, be it !.
Resolved, that the Farmers Union OF the
parish of St Landry, at Turkey Creek as
sembled, do most solemnly reiterate their
opposition to this hydra a-headed monster,
and affirm most positively that we will not
support any papers in or out OF this state,
in favor of the Louisiana Or any other lot
terry, and that we will oppose with all our
manhood and energy the election OF any
man to office in this State, or parish, who
is in favor of lotteries.

.~ OPELOUSAS, La, SATURDAY, MARCH Il,

We call attention to the new adver-
tisement of Mr.. Joseph Bloch. His
Casaday sulky pillow and Oliver chilled
plows, we mentioned recently. He
has supply of the celebrated Brown
cultiyators, both walking and riding.
Gultivators generally do good work,
where the ground is fiat that is,
where the seed was planted without
ridges. But the difficulty in the
South, where corn and cotton are
generally planted on ridges, has been
to get a cultiyator that would work a
ridge without tearing it down. The
plows on most cultivators are fixed SO
nearly on a level, that when the outer
plows go in the ground at all the inner
ones are so deep that they tear down
the ridge and when the inner ones
are set at the proper depth, the outer
ones do not go in the ground at all,
and are consequently useless. In the
Brown cultivator, this defect is obviat-
ed by having four beams, one for each
plow, that can be raised Or lowered, so
as to accomm odate the plows to the
shape Of the ridge. Call and see

The Ruston Progressive Age says -
In lottery paper We read an article
headed "Plutocrats, which said, among
other things, that aas long as the gov
ernment is operated for the benefit Of
plutocrats, through whose influence
gigantic trusts and monopolies are or
ganized to increase the money power,
the plain people must suffer proper
tionately."
The above gives truthful statement,
as we understand the question. But
bear in mind that the paper which
gave it utterance is d straight out lot
terry paper. This truth was uttered for
getful for the moment that the stock
holders of the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany are among the greatest phitocrats
Of the United States, and that their
monopoly is the greatest monopoly in
the world.

which resulted in flooding France with

The following significant letter from
Senator 10. Blackburn, of Kentucky,
relative to Mr.. Cleveland's anti-silver
letter, appeared in the Paducah Stand
ard:
WASHINGTON, D. G. Feb. Ia, 1891.
Col John c. Noble, Paducah, KY:
My Dear Sir.-1 have your letter OF
the 18th. I appreciate it, and win
tell you candidly the situation. In the
light of the publication of Mr.. Cleve-
lands recent letter antagonizing his
party upon the silver question, l do
not believe there is Democratic mem
Der of the Senate who would favor his
nomination for the Presidency, or who
believes that it would be possible to
elect him in '92 if nominated. No Or
ganization is effected or attempted
here hostile to him, but there is now
but one opinion as to his lack of avail
ability. / have no personal objection
to Mr.. Cleveland in the world, but 1
am not and never will be in favor of
the nomination of any man who is not
in accord with his party upon the
great issues upon which it is to be in
dorsed or rejected. l do not believe
that any man can be elected President
in '92 who is opposed to free silver
coinage.
The people have been trifed with
long enough upon this subject. The
truth is that for twenty-five years past
New York has never furnished Dem
ocratic leader who has not been in
thorough accord with Wall street and
at variance with the masses of the peo-
pie. This was as true of Mr.. Tilden in
former years as it is to-day true of Mr..
Cleveland. l have longed to see the
day when the Democrats might elect
President of this country, without pay
ing the tribute that New York always
levied. I think that time is at hand.
have no favorite candidate, but only
insist that he shall be fair and honest
representative of Democratic senti-
ment. In my judgment, in the light
of the dissension existing among New
York Democrats, it would be unwise
to select any New York man. How
ever, we cannot tell what twelve
months may produce. ! am a party
man, as you know, and my party's can
didate will be my candidate, but I
both believe and trust that no nomi-
nation will be made in '92 of a man
who, upon vital issues, antagonizes the
sentiment of the overwhelming major
ity of the party. That I am and have
always been pronounced silver man
you well know, and upon that issue l
never expect to change my views.
Very Truly,
10 G.. S. BLACKBURN.

A large number Of leprous persons,
comparatively, are reported in this
State. The Lottery has been propos-
ing to help disabled soldiers, insane
persons, etc, for their votes of course !;
but it has steered clear of the lepers.
Why, is not positively known, except
on the supposition that the leper is
the physical counterpart of its own
moral nature, and leprosy of no kind
is popular. If the lepers were in the
majority, they would be popular with
the Lottery at least; and DR.. Jeckyl
would not shun Mr.. Hyde.

The pension appropriation bill was
passed in the Senate on Thursday. 1t
appropriates for pensions for the year
$133, ,173, ,085; for fees and expenses of
examining surgeons $1.500,0Oo; for
salaries of eighteen pension agents,
$72, 600; and for clerk hire, $4OO, GOO
a total of more than $135, 600, 600.
During the discussion, Mr.. Mcpherson
inquired of Mr.. Allison whether the
amount appropriated in the bill would
be sufficient for the year, Mr.. Allison
replied that he believed it would be,
but admitted that there might be a
deficiency of five, six, or eight or ten
millions. In other words, the expendl-
lures for pensions during the year
must at least reach $135, 100000, and
may rise to $145, 100000. Nineteen
years ago the annual appropriation for
pensions fell short of $35, 600, 900, and
General Garfield as chairman Of the
House committee on appropriations,
said: We may reasonably expect that
the expenditures for pensions will
hereafter steadily decrease, unless our
legislation should be unwarrantably
extravagant.

The subjoined from the Ruston Pro-
gressive Age is quite candid to say the
least of it.
while the rest of the country is
mourning over the death of Gen. w.
T. Sherman, it can be hardly be ex-
pected that old Southern men will
shed many tears, for while we have long
since forgiven the bitter hatred of the
man and the unnecessary destruction
of property he caused, it would be folly
-duplicity-to say we had forgotten.
He is the General who wanted the
United States government to confiscate
all the property of the Southern peo-
pie and exterminate or exile them-he
did not care which. He even wanted
to override the constitution and re-
move the forfeiture OF land protection
from innocent heirs. This was Sher-
man, and we would utter falsehood
were we to say we ever had any love
or admiration for him. How could we
love such a 1nalevolent spirit?"
ats shameful the way the funny
papers make mention of mothers-in-
law"
$50 it is, madam. I think it is very
shameful. Most men are glad even for
moment to forget their mothers-in-
law and these papers are continually
thus bringing them to mind "-Phila-

Higher Taxes..-LoWer Wages,
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The manufacturing potters having
obtained increased tariff taxes on their
products, for the declared purpose OF
protecting home labor, are now reduc-
ing wages and locking out their work
men who refuse to accept lower wages
with higher taxes.
Trenton, New Jersey, is the chief
center of the pottery manufacture in
this country, and the manufacturers
have locked out their men because
they refuse to assent to a reduction of
wages, and they have also adopted the
policy of declining to discuss the ques-
ton either with their employees or
with reporters. They feel safe under
the high taxes lately put upon labor
and the necessaries OF life, and believe
that they can starae their workmen
into submission.
What a mockery OF protection to
home labor is this action of the Tren-
ton potteries. Like the steel manu-
facturers they have, as rule, amassed
large fortunes as if by magic, solely by
tariff taxes levied on the masses of the
people and now, when they have had
these taxes put up to the highest point
to multiply their profits, they demand
reduction of wages and lock their la
Dor out to starve it into submission.
How long will such monopoly taxes,
monopoly greed be tolerated by the
people?
