The Times-Democrat puts the case
tersely thus:
1t is simply question of the people
of Louisiana voting for the revenue
amendment-which will give to the
State a sum greater than the entire
or voting for higher taxation. There
ia no escape from one horn or the other
of that dilemma. Let all those in favor
of higher taxation hold up their hands.

The Clarion is diligently engaged in
playing the "ostrich act.' 1t has not
word to say about its mutilations of the
official proceedings of the Police Jury
which we exposed, no excuse whatever
to offer for the action of the Sheriff and
its other managers in requiring delin-
ouent taxpayers to pay 95 cents more on
every dollar of advertising costs than
was necessary. The fact is, it was caught
in fdqrante delictu in both cases, and its
action in each case being utterly indie
fensible, it has correctly concluded that
the least said about these little matters
the better. But we trust that our friends
throughout the parish will keep as many
of the Clarion's readers posted as they
can conveniently reach, and that they
will lay particular stress on the startling
but incontrovertible fact that the disin-
terested patriots who founded the Cla-
rion, "the peoples rights to maintain,
unawed by influence and unbribed by
gain" have been detected in working a
deliberately concocted scheme to fleece
delinquent taxpayers Of 50 cents out of
every dollar charged for advertising tax
sales, and when exposed have not word
to say in defense or explanation. "Carry
the news to Mary"-spread it far and
wide-it will serve to illustrate the very
tender solicitude of the Clarion's man
ayers for the interests and rights" of
the dear people," and emphasize their
right to the claim of being the friends
of "the horny handed sons of toll" who
are already taxed more than they can
conveniently pay, but who nevertheless
must deposit in the Clarion's till one
round dollar for every nickel that their
sales should cost!

About Tafy.

The Clarion speaks of the "quantity
of tatty which the lotteryites are now
giving the Alliance leaders,
Has the Clarion yet heard OF lot
teryite attending the farmers plc-nlcs
for the purpose of advocating the adop-
ton of the revenue amendment? 1t so,
speak out. The anti leaders have re-
minded us of the camp-followers du-
ring the Confederate war. They may
be seen in fiocks wherever there are
roast beef and bakers bread for dis
tribution, with an audience to listen to
chin monographs. Aud yet the Clarion
speaks of tally.
The lotteryites have INDUCED in no
experiments. They ale contentedly
looking on at those made 10y the ants.
They have attended no meetings; have
held none; have bound no one, and do
not propose to do so. All they have i'll
sisted on is exactly what the ants have
exerted themselves to defeat, and that
is. that the people may decide for them
selves whether they will recharter the
Louisiana State Lottery or not. The
ants have done all they could to pre-
vent them from having any thing to say
about it. All we now ask is, that the
voters shall not bind themselves to be
dictated to. The ants are doing all
they can to get them to bind themselves
TO do their bidding. For this purpose
they are temporarily dividing the De-
mocracy, that some of them may slip
into office 10y the division. IT the ALI
ance is ready to cooperate with them,
we can not help it, but will continue to
give timely warning against it.
We are not disposed to regard "Mr
Adams, Mr.. Largen and Mr.. Ward,' al
though good men, as the embodiment
of the Farmers Alliance, or the anti
lottery leaders who met with them in
New Orleans, as the opponents of Loui-
siana Democracy. From the tenor OF
the Clarion's article we conclude that
os these leaders met and issued their
official pronuu ciamentO, the bounden
members of the leagues and the ALI
apce are expected to bow with su6mis-
sion. We are not in, and no freeman
should be.

Future of Terra del Fuere.

The notions of Terra del Fuego which
prevailed ten years ago have been com
pletely upset by recent explorations.
The latest travellers there are -Messrs.
Rousson and Willems, who have re-
turned to France from their scientific
mission in Terra del Fsnego. These ex-
plorers believe the northern part of the
island can be turned to good account,
and that the day is not far distant when
large herds and focks win be raised upon
ranches established all along the river
valleys. A large district north of the
Straits of Magellan, in Patagonia, which
was wholly unoccupied twelve years ago,
is now full of little farms devoted to
raising sheep and cattle.
The owners have prospered SO well
that the territory they occupy has be-
come too crowded. 1t is impossible to
extend this business further north, and
the farmers will therefore be compelled
to turn to Terra del Fuego, which will
receive the overflow from Patagonia. On
Dawson Island. near the northwest coast
of Terra del Fuego, Jesuit fathers are
now engaged in stock raising. and for
two years or SO a fine ranch has been
established on the northern coast of
Terra del Fuego, where there are today
about 10000 sheep and 5000 cattle The
English have been the first to establish
themselves in this territory. Stock
raisers are now reaping a profit of so
per cent. per annum. The explorers say
the availability of the island for stock
raising has been amply proven. and
there is now no doubt that prosperous
future is before it.-Chicago Times.

Men Who work After Dark.

Did it ever occur to you to be thankful
that you don't have to drive delivery
team for a dry goods and millinery firm
Saturday nights? One Saturday night
Smith & Murray had over 200 bonnets to
deliver after dark. 1t is bad enough to
be walked up in the midst of ones first
sound slumber which follows the con-
sciousness that the labors of the week
have been well performed to take in your
wife's new bonnet, bill pinned on the
back. But think of having to wear away
the early morning hours of the Sabbath
in trespassing about destroying the phys
ical and mental, moral peace of the com
munity in that way.
Still there are men that enjoy this sort
of thing not only one night in the week,
but seven-the Boston and Albany "call-
ers," for instance. They go about all
over the city andWest Springfield thump-
ing ON the doors and windows of the men
connected with the railroad freight serv-
ice to tell them when it is time to get up
and go to work, and if there is an acci-
dent on the road during the night the
resident officials hear from them in a
very pointed way. And these men grow
fat in this sort of work-the continual
disturbing of the peace of their fellow
men-and build them happy homes on
the proceeds of such labor.@Springfeld

The Helena, Mont, Journal says that
the price of beef cattle has increased
thirty per cent. within thirty days, and
declares that the American home market
is growing faster than the beef surplus
and adds that ''it is a question of few

king will be Napoleon in his own
right The efficient work of Secretary
Rusk is said to have increased the export
trade in cattle 1000 day over the ship
ments of 1888 and 1889, and there are
substantial reasons for the belief that
exports on the hoof will reach 1900 per
day for at least 300 days in the year.
The tremendous output of live stock
with the vast shipments of dressed beef
will result in scarcity that insures high

Nature is Good to Us.

Nature does nothing by halves in
Crook county. If we have dry season
it is extremely dry, and when it is wet
it is wet indeed. This season the latter
order prevailes. Old settlers say more
rain has fallen than they have ever
known in the month of June. The re-
suit is excellent prospects for crops, and
the best grass on the range that there
has been for years. The bunch grass
has not ceased growing this season, and
those who have been on the range say
the grass looks like a waving field OF
grain. The outcome will be that every
kind of stock will be fat this fall, and if
prices for beef are fair, cattle raisers will
reap harvest this season, as all steers
will be prime beef, and nothing will be
rejected by buyers -PrineUilLc Review.

Platforms are built specially to take
