IT IS funny to listen to Republican
leaders explanations Of defeat they
now claim that defeat come to them
from the very things that they said
would insure success. This is another
proof that a back sight is better than

A gentleman who ought to know
something of political history and
governmental economy, but who
seems to be blind to his own knowl-
edge, remarked to us this week that
he wanted a change politically, and
he is Populist or Third Partyite
because he believes he can get a
change from that source! In the
eyes of such man the change from
thirty years of Republican corrup-
ton, force and misrule, to. Demo
cratic economy and tariff revision
would be no change at all! He is
too blind to see through 6-inch
mill rock, even though it has hole
in it big enough for grown coon
to crawl through.
A man who oft hobby rode.
Once at a group of wise men sped
His steed frightened, kicked and plunged,
And stood him on his head.
The wise men ran to set him straight
He stopped them with frOwn-
See what my hobby's done," cried he,
You all are upside down.!

Another batch of outlaws we're
wiped out of existence at Cofeville,
Kansas, on the morning of the 9Th
instant. The notorious Dalton
gang, consisting of three brothers
of that name, and three of their
pals, made raid on the two banks
of the town, and were making of
with about $4,000 in cash, when
the citizens of the town closed In
on them, the result being that
four of the robbers were shot dead
in their tracks, fifth SO badly
wounded that he died in couple
of days. The sixth man succeeded
in getting away, although both
horse and rider are believed to be
severity wounded. All the money
was recovered. Four citizens were
killed and several wounded, making
the ARRAY a terrible sacrifice.

Be Natural.

A woman never loses anything
by being real. For a woman to be
natural is for her to be an object
of respect and love. She was cre-
ated to sway, not as men sway by
strong physical powers, but In her
own way and by her own gentle
qualities. A natural woman is the
greatest power in the world to-
day. BY her very nature she con.
quers, whether she be the wife of
an humble clerk or a ten-time mil
lionaire. "She is always SO lovable
because she is SO natural" was the
graceful tribute I heard a group of
women a few evenings ago pay to
young woman who had just left
them. "Men are 80 fond of her,
said another woman in the group,
land yet no one could call her
pretty" Let artifce, sham or pre-
tention enter into the nature OF
such woman and she would be-
come at once an unwelcome guest
where she is hidden and eagerly
sought for. Some one may say.
eyes, the one you speak Of is pro-
badly a rich woman, and she car
afford to be lovable." Not at all
my friend. She is the daughter
of a man whose salary is too meagrt
for him to give his wife servant
and this daughter helps the mother
in her homework. She is the yer.
sunshine of that home, simply be
cause she is her own self and nevel
tries to appear what she, is not.

A good many people are puzzled as to
the correct date to be observed in cele-
brating the discovery Of America. The
grand celebration in the city Of New York
this week, beginning Oct. 18th, in honor
Of the 4OOth anniversary, adds to this
confusion in many minds. The ordinary
calendar reckoning makes the day fall on
October 18th, but by the real duration Of
time it is October 2lst, and this is the
date that will be most universally observ-
ed in Louisiana and other States.

Printers Devils.

established for their convenience.
This can only be done by applying
to the police jury at least six

There are very few questions on
which the States differs from Mr..
Cleveland. But there is one pro-
position he laid down in his speech
in Madison Square Gardens when
he was formally notified Of his
nomination for President, which we
do not fully endorse. In thatspeech
Mr.. Cleveland declared that "the
Democratic party is not q destruc-
tive party" AS we have said, we
are of different mind on this point
Indeed, considering the work the
Democratic party has in hand and
it's ends and purposes, 1t appears
to us to be about the most destuc-
tive party that has ever appeared
on the field. Thus, it's business
and its purpose is to destroy the
Republican party; to exterminate
the protective system; to wipe out
the present Federal Administra.
ton; to smash into smithereens all
such demagogic platforms as the
Ocala demands; to extinguish the
so-called Peoples party; to knock
the spots out of illegitimate trusts
and combines; to wallow the Plu-
tocracy and to tear into shreds a
number of other monstrous evils
that have sprung up and grown in
to power under the auspices OF the
Republican party. This is enough
destructive work on hand to entitle
the Democratic party to be called
destructive party. Indeed, if it
don't make wreck and ruin of all
these things when it gets into
power; If, in short, it does not
then prove itself to be destruc-
tive party, it will forfeit the respect
and confidence of the people.

most eminent jurists of the United
States, both of whom have forsak-
