One OF the encouraging signs OF the times
In the growing taste among the s00k-buylng
public for better-made books, and, above
all, for better books. This public seems TO
have broken away from old traditions, or at
least traditions Of ten years standing, aud

standard books--of works In the depart
ments OF philosophy, poetry, and good

fishers who have been in touch with the
public seem TO have taken their cue, and are
making every effort TO supply this demand
for better books. The season Just drawing

some important parsonage was waited upon

that such person was sdeputated' by his

Save the Ola Parties.

BE patient Go slow. Don't
strike. Don't boycott. Don't kick.
Don't NEEDLE with politics, Don't
desert the G. 0. P.'s, and everything
will come all right after awhile"
That is the advice of the jackals who
have been plundering the people for
thirty years. You are losing your
farms and homes by the hundred
every week, but "be patient" You
laborers are working long hours for
starvation wages, but don't strike.
Your employers may conclude to give
you better wages after you are dead.
The people are being robbed i'll the
name of the law, But 'don't NEEDLE
with politics" you might accidentally
right things. You work so long and
so hard that you have no time for
pleasure or self-improvement, and
your little boys and girls are kept out
of school TO help exc out a living, but
"don't kick" You were made to wait
on your lordly masters. To be sure,
the old parties are run in the interest
of the money power. But don't de-
sert them. They love you terribly

After the Blind Tiger.

The recent grand jury indicted sew
eral persons for violating the Prohi-
btion law. Four of the cases were
tried. The first was convicted and
fined So and cost and ten days in Jail;
the second was acquitted ; tho third
was a mistrial-the jury failing to
reach verdict-the fourth resulted
in conviction, and the accused was
fined $500 and cost and sentenced to
two months imprisonment in the COun-
ty Jail.
Five or six cases were continued
| till the next term of court. OF this
number, one is against the Southern
Express Co., and is based on the fact
that its agents receive packages con
tanning liquor shipped from points out
of the State, marked c. o. ID. and col
lect the amount of bill rendered from
the consignee when the packages are
delivered.
Although there was evidence suf-
ficient to justify other indictments of
this character, only one true bill was
found, and it will be made test case
before the courts. Should it result in
conviction, the whisky traffic will he
checked to a great extent, as most of
the packages are sent marked c. Q. d.
The "Blind Tiger" was given a
black eye, and will doubtless pass out
of existence before the next term of
court, and his keeper expressed de-
sire to release him even before he
heard the charge preferred against
him.-MagnoIi0 Gazette.

cupied chiefly with working the booms

.JuStica indicated.

The criminal classes of New Orleans
have been taught lesson they have
long needed. On last Friday, after
being out less than II day, the jury
sitting on the trial on the lIcnnrSSey
assassins. brought in verdict ct not
entity rs tu six of the u'nc men on
trial and of disagreement as To the
other three. The verdict was So out
ragrously at variance with the ert-
dcucc ia the case. aud there were so
many indications that it was not an
honest and intelligent one, that the
leading citizens and property owners
Of New Orleans, immediately resOlv-
ed upon vindicating justice 10y taking
the law into their own hands.
Accordingly. mass meeting was
called at the Clay Statue on Canal
street at 10 o'clock Saturday morning,
aud after few brief speeches on the
farcical administration of the law and
the necessity for heroic action, well
organized band of armed men, headed
bv cool headed, rcsOlute leaders,
marched to the parish prison, forced
it open. compelled the officials i'll
charge to stand aside. and dealt out
summary Justice to eleven of the Da-
goes who had been implicated in the
assassination of the chief of police.
Nine men were shot to death i'll the
prison and two led out and hung in
the open street tone to Il limb and the
other To- lamp post. There was no
attempt vt concealment. but every
thing was doue in an open, straight
forward way that showed that the
people had arisen in their majesty and
were in dead earnest. The affair was
spIcrdidly managed and careful dis
elimination exercised to punish only
those who were known to be guilty,
and when that was done, those who
mad participated in and witnessed the
execution were formally dismissed by
their leaders.

AS an advocate of justice and fair
dealing the Clarion-Ledger must ex-
press the opinion that the press Of the
State is showing an mtolerant DISPOSE

opposing the recollection of Senators

reason for opposing these distinguish
ed gentleman, and, from the stand
point of consistent Alliance man,
they are good reconsideration Led

Considering the personal relations
between the C.-L. and Hon. Frank
Burkitt are any thing but cordial, the

credit.

Has Taken His Measure.

a very significant feature of the
present conflict is that whenever OPP
position papers can find an Alliance
man who will express opposition to
the Alliance platform, they make a
hero of him. Tennessee and Missis-
Sippi papers are landing McAllister to
the skies as the greatest man in the
Alliance, because some Tennessee pa
per published an interview where he
is represented as having said some
thing against the sub-treasury plan
to the effect that it was given up, and
that the Alliance would pin its hopes
on free coinage of silver alone. If
any Alliance man wants to become Il
hero in the opposition press this is a
simple formula; let him be interview
ed and express just such doctrine as
that, and he will at once become Il
great man among class of papers
that are constantly advising the Ali
ance to give up its principles and
adopt its demands to their taste.-Na-
ti0Ral Economist.
AS the papers show, Mr.. McAllister
is still working the "interview" bust
ness for all it is worth. Pulled up 10y
the taffy and notoriety given him by
papers antagonistic to the Alliance
and its principles, he is fairly soaring
aloft in the seventh heaven of his own
overweaning self-importance. Never
was there finer illustration of these
lines of the immortal bard:
