Louisiana Review: 1t turns out that
the sgners from this State to the call
issued during the Alliance meeting at
Ocala, were of the colored persuasion,
and not of the white Farmers Alliance,
as was first believed. The white Farm
ers' Alliance, of Louisiana, are too pa
triotic aud too intelligent to go into a
movement that will separate them from
their fellow citizens who are engaged in
other pursuits, and venture in expert
ments requiring division at the start.
Agriculture is the base of all industries
in Louisiana and its success means the
common success. 1t follows that all
classes of our people should gladly do
every thing in their power that will pro-
mote the interests of agriculture.

Baton Rouge Advocate: In a letter to

Baton Rouge Advocate: A Hebrew
resident of Chicago proposes that his
unople erect in that city memorial
Statue to Jesus of Nazareth, in com
.nemoration of the universal brother,
I,ood of mankind that will be ushered
in by the twentieth century. Why not !?
Jesus was jew by birth, and never an
enemy to his people. He rebuked their
sins, as Moses did, and established a
new dispensation that proposed to re-
form their ancient theology by expos
tulation and appeal, aud to overthrow
the theocracy which they have thems
selves long ago abandoned. The cen"
turtles have been marked by persecution
which has widened the separation, OF
the two lines Of religious thought, but
it is time they were coming nearer to-
gether, in federation at least, and il the
laws can honor the gentle Nazarene as
the type of ideal manhood, tender, pure
and unsefish, why may not his follow
ers respond to the generous effort to es-
tablish new epoch in human fellow
ship, as wide as the world and as en-
during as time?

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of EIec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe their
restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of Kidneys,
Liver or Stomach, of long or short stand

IT'S OUR WAY.-We understand that
Judge Rich feels bitterly towards us be-
cause we said in The Kicker last week
that he cot only his just deserts in the
row with Maj. Baldwin. It's our way to
state facts. The two gentlemen were
dlsputing as to the color of the jackrab.e
bits eye. The major was the soul of
good nature until the judge pulled his
nose. We stood by and saw it all, and
distinctly heard the spat !" Of the bull
let as it struck the judge in the shout
der. The fact Maj. Baldwin subscribes
for five copies Of The Kicker, while
Judge Rich won't have it in the house,
does not bias us the least. We say that
when man pulls another mans nose in
malice he should be prepared for the
worst. II the judge was not prepared it
was bis own fault. He is Dragging that
he will serve our nasal organ in the
same way before the year 1891. Judge,
fired Of this vain world and want to 60
