THEY ARE OUT FOR "THE
STUFF"

The Times Democrat of last Thurs
day has ringing editorial under the
above caption, in reference to the re-
cent meeting held here at the Ex-
change Hotel, between representa-
tives of the ants and members of the
Farmers Alliance, at which time an
unsuccessful attempt was made to har-
monize these two factions, and come
to some agreement about the candi-
dates to be placed in the field at the
coming election.
The antis were in favor of State
Treasurer Pipes for GOVERNOR whilst
the Alliance men clung to their cham
pion, Adams-.so no agreement was
reached, and the conference proved a
failure. 1t is given out that the same
committee is to meet again at Lafa-
yette, on August Sd, the time set for
the holding of the State Farmers
Convention. When it is taken into
consideration that all these meetings
are held with closed doors, it locks
strange indeed, and augurs no good
for either of the respective causes.
Listen to how the big Crescent City
daily bangs away at the schemers in
this little play:
The citizens of Louisiana should make
an accurate note of what these exceed
ingly virtuous patriots are doing. They
are holding secret meetings for tile dlstrl-
button of the Offices and the arrangement
of the spoils, and doing it before the bat
tie. This is characteristic OF the self
vaunted patriot, as distinguished from
the spoil seeker. The spoil seeker waits
for the fight to be over and the spoll to
be captured before he divides it around I;
but the loftily virtuous patriot divides
the spoil in advance and keeps his long
ing eye fixed Oh it all during the fight,
and cheers his soul with it in anticipation.
1t has been frequently noted in history
that plnnderers, after they have landed
their booty, quarrel with each other res
pecting the subdivision of their ill-got-
ten gains. 1t has been reserved for these
two factions of bogus virtue in Louisiana
to fight over their respective shares of the
public Offices before the Offices have been
drought into the market" For ghoul-
sh greed and selhshness there is nothing
that comes near the virtuous patriot.
The citizens of Louisiana who are not
vet tired of their Democracy will observe
that the functions of the Democratic
State Convention are being taken out of
the hands of that body and exercised by
an irresponsible junta of combined fac
tionists, whose action in this matter de-
monstrates that they are out for 'the
stnit" end "tbe stuff alone.

The Greatest Strike.

Among tue great strikes that of DR..
Miles in discovering his New Heart

most important. The demand for it
has become astonishing. Already the
treatment of heart disease is being rev.

cures effected. 1t soon relieves short
breath, huttcring, pains in side, arm,
shoulder, weak and hungry spells,
oppression, swelling of ankles, smoth-

that would be followed by their can
didate in filling all Offices if he was
elected Governor, and he in his
speeches announced that he would act
in accordance with this principle:
The people demand, and they have
right to demand, that candidate
for the highest Office within their gift
shall elevate party struggles above
the veual conditions of combinations
and favoritism and make the test upon
the broad basis OF fidelity to the be-
neficent principles of the Democratic
party, which were intended, and if ad-
hered to, will promote the happiness
and welfare of the people.
Has Gov. Nichols made the test of
office Fidelity to the beneficent princi-
Piles of the Democratic party?" He will
hardly claim this himself, for he has
brought in other tests and men whose
Democracy cannot be challenged, who
have worked in the ranks of the party
for years, have been shut out and pro-
scribed because they would not accept
Nichols views on other questions.
He has insisted upon autocracy and
personal government, that he asone
shall prescribe the qualifications for
appointment, and that he, not the
Democratic voters of any parish or
district, shall say who should admin
lister their affairs. The Democrat who
reads Gov. Nichols speech at Zach
ayie, wherein he promised Democratic
harmony, that there would be no per.
sonal government or appointments.
that constituencies should select theil
offisials, and that Democracy should
be the sole test of Office, will discover
how badly these promises have been
kept, will see at once that these dec.
larations and promises ofNicholls were
made simply to elect himself. They
can be used longer, and the faction
which surrounds the Governor has
opened new campaign, new issue
and with new pledges, believing ap'
parently that the people have forgot
ten the past, and do not see the polit
ical schemes it has hidden under its
promises. - N. 0. Times Democrat

Near the old cemetery in West
Alexander, w. Va, a big tree is
growing, which forks at three feet
nine inches from the ground. Appar-
emily it is a white oak, but on exami-

it branches into two species, one a
white oak and the other white cher

The oak is about 65 and the cherry 55

The True PARTY To Follow.

Now that Secretary Foster is in the
ring for Senator, Foraker's cake is sure
to remain dough. The Republican party
is in the same condition the old Whig
party was just before its dissolution. 1t
is doomed! 1t never was National
party and never can be. 1t came into
power in one half the Union on section
al issues, and sagacious observers can
easily see that as soon as the National
sentiment completely prevails it will be
compelled to 60 out of power. 1t has
but one fundamental principle left not
common to other parties, and that is the
high protective robber tariff; and ou
this the rank and file of its followers
are greatly divided. Young Republi-
cans should make no mistake. The Re-
publican party leaders are in death
struggle for the spoils-they will defeat
each other, and there is no better party
to follow now than that of the great Ma
tional Democratic party Columbus

is DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Lift the cur

Even such bigots as ex-senator Blair
may sometimes make q sensible re.
mark on the race question, which has
made so much senseless prejudice
against the whites of the South in the
minds of people unwilling to accept
the verdict of nature, which has made
the Caucasian race superior to all 9TH
ers by endowing it with more brain
and intelligence than is possessed by
any other race. Ex-senator Blair
must have at last realized this fact as
he recently said, speaking of the black
and white race: "The Whites are the
dominant race, they will always rule.n
Had this self evident fact been recog-
nized by the party of which Mr.. Blair
is a shining light, in the legislation it
has enacted during the last quarter OF
century, there would be no such
thing as the race problem in this coun-
try. All the trouble has grown out OF
the absurd attempts of the republican
party to make the negro the dominant
race of the South.
