| the monument that marks the grave OF
Adams early blighted ambition will be:
''He was Il good man and stood high

F.. Winchester rifles the will of the white
| Democrats of Louisiana, as expressed
at the polls, to claim that he is any
better than tho Anarchists who met
swift justice at Chicago
B. r. Advocate: It looks as if Bruin
will come up to the scratch earlier
than we anticipated, and the squeeze"
that was in contemplation for the
State convention will be given before
the primaries "When you dance with
a bear, keep an eye on your partner"
St. Martinville Messenger: Mr.. Louis
C. Duchamp, the enterprising planter,
has sent to our office this week some
citrons raised on his Martinique Planta-
tion, which are magnificent specimens
of what this country is capable of. The

you all along. The farmers are too
level headed TO be misled from the

(. B. r. Advocate The politicians are
in possession of the alliance, which is
no longer a farmers organization ex-
cept the rank and file of voters and the
piekers-up of crumbs that are scattered
for a purpose. For example, Capt
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, is IN the race for governor ol
Georgia, bidding for the alliance nomi-
nation, and he has good chance 0
defeating Gov. Northen for the place.
II Alliance Senator PETER is the editol
of the Kansas Farmer. To column
editorial he has now let the cat out o.
the bag by declaring that the chief ain
