inst. letter from Hon. G. H. Jenkins of

sraightOut manner over his own signature,
TO the Fort Worth Alliance % convention.
His illusions to the legislative (Alliance)
committee, and TO the Waco conference and
also TO the Fort Worth meeting, if | under
stand anything about them, are eminently
correct. President Evan Jones asked B. +.
Rogers and others TO bring their charges in
writing against the legislative committee
in answer TO requests to remove them. None
were brought In few days came forth

signerS of that pompous document come
into the Waco conference and lay before
that body their grievancesa Its doors were
open 10 all of them that belonged TO the Al

fault was it! If these Fort Worth fellows
are true Alliance men at heart" why did
they parade their grievances before the

why did they ignore all these} As they

The National Democrat which
was established in Washington one
year ago by Edmund Hudson, with
the Endorsement of the great leaders
of the party, has entered upon its
second year with a circulation Of
10000 copies each week. This is
perhaps the largest circulation ever
attained by a weekly newspaper dur.
ing the first year of its existence.
The National Democrat occupies a
field of its own, and one that too
remained untitled. It gives a COM
plete record of political information,
including the most important
speeches that are delivered by Demo.
cratic leader in Congress and on
the stump. 1t is rendering the party
an important service and should be
read by all who wish to keep fully
informed in regard to public affairs
and who mean to defeat the wicked
scheme of the Republican leaders to
secure permanent control Of the
Government, in spite of the fact that
they are, and must remain, the
minority party in this country.

That's it pays to advertise is q
proposition which no one at this

matter Of advertising, and thee

thing good to offer to the public can
not exercise too much pains in hay-
having his light 30 shine that all

gress when everything almost has
been reduced to a science it pays to
have the benefit Of the opinions of
the wisest minds upon any subject
of Importance and the man who
wishes to advertise judiciously can
not fail to profit by q perusal Of o
valuable little magazine entitled
Printers Ink, published weekly at
l0Spruce Street, New York, by Geo.
p. Rowell & Co. and devoted ex.
clusively to giving suggestions to
advertisers. Its cost is only 2.
per year and a single issue is worth
more than that sum to every ADVERT

The publishers have been for more
than a quarter of a century the
most prominent advertising agency
in the country and their long ex-
perieuce and unquestioned ability
will be Of great value to any ad.

he may wish to expend in reaching

independence Of a former time and TO
the reward of better days.

L
only man in the Democratic party
who is kindly disposed toward the
farmers, he is one Of their most out.

Many years ago Thomas Jefferson
enunciated the encouragement of

of the Democratic party, and to-day
more so than ever the needs of The
farmer, and the evils which environ
him demand the careful attention of
the statesmen of the country. While

notably South Carolina and Kansas,
have secured the reins of government,

ed it o legacy of deathless song.

is remembered, and forever will be,

Judge John T.. Ludeling, of Mon.

in Ouachita parish, last Wednesday
evening, aged 81 years. In speak.
ing Of him the Telegraph Bulletin
says:
Judge Ludeling was one of the
largest planters in this section, own
ing and operating large plantations
in this, Morehouse, Richland and
Madison parishes, but he was best
known to the people Of Louisiana as
a lawyer and politician. He was a
Republican. but having been a union
man before and during the war, and
never a Democrat, no charge of sci.
fish or impure motives or inconsist.
ency can be brought against him on
that account.
Judge Ludeling was an accom-
plished scholar, a Thorough master
Of the ancient languages and French
and having chosen the law as a pro.
fesslon he pursued the study of our
supuerb system o. civil Jurisprudence
in the original, and being possessed
of a naturally fine intellect, he soon
became one Of the leading lawyers Of
the State. His scholarship, his learn
ing, his training and his high char.
acter, eminently qualified him for
judicial honors and in 1869 he was
appointed chief justice OF the supreme
court of Louisiana by Governor
Warmoth, serving a term of six
years Barring political cases which
came before this court, of which we
have no desire to speak, his career
as a judge was spotless and the deci-
sions handed down by him rank with
the best expositions of our law.

The Lake Chaales Echo Of last
week says: On last Friday the peo-
pie of Lake Charles were very much
exercised over the report Of two cases
of smallpox at the Howard hotel.
here. The excitement was manifest.
ed by the gatherings in the streets,
the character of the conversation,
and eagerness to learn the truth.
A committee Of doctors visited the
sick, and after a careful examination
diagnosed the cases as measles.
An ~impecunious family of nine
immigrants lad arrived in town
from some more northern place, and
stopped at the Howard house, where
next day the gentleman and lady,
heads of the family, were both found
sick with fever and an eruption. In
view of the existence of smallpox in
Houston and other Texas towns, il
was natural that the people here
should at once conclude that these
strangers were down with the 10th
some disease.
