Is Editor Brian, of the Winn-
field Comrade, eligible to men,
bership in the Farmers 'Uuion?
We say not; and have the opinion
of Capt. I. S. Adams to back the
assertion. Under the ruling that
partisan editors are not eligible
to membership, Mr.. Brian's posi-
ton as a Peoples Party champion
as clearly places him in conflict
with the principles of the Farmers
Union as if he was a partisan Re-
publican. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that any action will be
taken in this direction, as the Peo-
pies Party has about swallowed
the unions of Vim and Grant par
ishes, and they viii be guided al
most entirely by the bosses who
hold the political reins over them
with a pretty steady hand.

An Old Battle Flag.
MONTGOMERY, La. July 4th, $50:

MONTGOMERY, La. July 4th, 1892.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
A history of the regimental col
ors of the 18th La. Infantry is
well worth preserving, and it is
here given. We are proud OF this
old flag, and, in these degenerate
times, let us not forget to honor
the old veteran heroes who follow
ed its fortunes from the beginning
of the war to the wind-up. Let
us remember with reverence the
noble hearts that were stilled while
casting a last longing look upon it
as it waved over them, and who
now fill soldiers graves = scars on
the bosom of this dear land of
ours.
While ready pens are willing
and at work recording heroism of
Northern troops, little is done to-
ward preserving the valor of South
ern troops. When the late war was
declared between the States and
Major McCain's company was be-
ing raised, the ladies Of Montgom-
cry sent to New Orleans for some
very fine flag material and made q
pretty Confederate flag, and it was
formally presented through Miss
Aurelia Townsend to the company
on the eve of their departure for
the seat Of war. When the 18th
Louisiana regiment was formed at
Camp Moore, McCain's company
being portion of the troops then
at rendezvous there, the flag of this
company being the finest in the
regiment was adopted as regimen
tai coIors, and was borne triumph
antly through the war from Column
bus, KY, to Jonesboro, n. c., where
the regiment and flag were surren-
dered to the FederaIs at the close
of the war. The old flag was all
tattered and torn, and pierced by
many Minnie balls. At Franklyn
Tenn, while storming the enemy's
breastworks, it was shot from the
flag staff, and the color bearer, Ser
geant Eli Cole, of Major McCain's
company, while carrying it high in
the air, fulfilling that promise not
to allow its colors to trail in the
dust, fell pierced with more than &
dozen balls.

The Democratic Platform.

The following is the Platform of
Principles adopted by the National
Democratic Convention at Chicago:
l. The representatives of the
Democratic party of the United
States, in national convention as
sembled, do reaffirm their allegiance
to the principles of the party as
formulated by Jefferson and ex-
emplified by long and illustrious
line of successors in Democratic
leadership, from Madison to Cleve-
land; we believe the public welfare
demands that these principles be
applied to the conduct Of the Fed
eraI government through the Access
sion to power of the party that adj
vocates them, and we solemnly de-
clare that the need of a return to
these fundamental principles of a
free popular government, based on
home rule and individual liberty,
was never more urgent than now,
when the tendency to centraIize all
power at the Federal Capitol has
become menace of the reserved
rights of the States that strike at
the very roots of our government
under the Constitution as framed
by the republic.
2. We warn the people of our
common country, jealous for the
preservation of their free institu-
tons, the policy Of Federal control
of elections to which the Republi-
can party has committed itself is
fraught with the gravest dangers,
scarcely less momentous than would
result from revolution practically
establishing monarchy on the ruins
Of the republic. 1t strikes at the
North, as well as the South and in
iures the colored citizen even more
than the whites. 1t means horde
of deputy marshals at every polling
place, armed with Federal power,
returning boards, appointed and
controlled by Federal authority,
the outrage Of the electoral rights
of the people In the several States,
the subjugation of the colored peo-
pie to the control of the party in
power and the reviving of race an
tagonisms, now happily abated, and
of the utmost peril to the safety
and happiness of all; measure

Third Party Nominees.

The convention of the Third or
Peoples Party met in Omaha, Ne
braska, ON the 4th of July, and af-
ter the usual buncombe and con-
fusion nominated as their candi-
date for the Presidency, Gen. Jas.
B. Weaver, of Iowa, and MIR.
Fields, of Virginia, for Vice Presi-
dent. The convention tried hard
to get Judge Gresham to let them
name him as the head of their
ticket, but he refused twice in
curt and positive kilograms. The
Judge evidently believes in farmers
and their rights, but he does not
recognize the Peoples party as
truly representing them or their
interests.
Gen. Weaver is an old political
hack, we'll known as Greenback-
er and all round kicker, and his
numerous failures as a political
leader has won for him the title of
"Old War Horse of Many Unwon
Battles" We viii publish the
platform adopted at Omaha in a
subsequent issue to this.

The New Delta never hit the
nail more squarely ON the head
than when it, said of the Peoples
party platform: "The principles
laid down in its platform may be
divided into two groups: those
which are the tenets of the Demo-
cratic party, and those which are
impractical"

Natures Monument to Washing
Among the many monuments to
Washington is the one which every
visitor to the Cape Verde islands
will remember as one of the most
colossal and marvellous freaks of
natural sculpture in existence.
Along the further side of the har-
Dor of Vicente { the principal town.
rises bold ridge of dark gray vol
canic rocks, the crest of which
forms an exact likeness of our i'm
mortal George, seemingly lying
face upward, as if in a peaceful
sleep. The hero's large, bold fea-
lures, the backward wave of the
hair, his massive shoulders and
even the frill Of the shirt front are
all reproduced on a gigantic scale
with wonderful exactness. The
strange monument, sharply outlin-
ed against the deep blue of the
tropical sky, is one of the first OBJ
jects that meets ones eye in ap-
preaching the island. It's gigantic
proportions, with the boundless
ocean for q background, forms a
portrait wonderfully true to ma
ture and oyerpowering in its mag
nifcence.-St. Louis Republic.

fered by the War Department,
with many other old Confederate
Flags to the organization in New
Orleans known as the Army of
Tennessee. On the occasion of the
of old soldiers at Mont
gomery several years ago the old
flag was secured and suspended
over the speakers stand where the
ladies that made it and the old
soldiers that fought for it were
once more permitted to look on 1t
again. The following piece of poe
try was written on that occasion by
a lady now a resident of this COM
munity. M. A. Dunn.
LINES TO MAJOR M'tArN's FLAG.
Once again the way-worn veterans,
From out of the long-ago,
Are rallying round thy standard,
As they did in the days OF yore;
As when in the heat OF battle,
And on the mountain heights,
Ye we're lifted as a signal
OF the Southern peoples rights.
Once again we boys are trooping
Meath thy folds in the sunny land,
Where thy dear form was fashioned
BY fair woman's royal hand,
Who gave thee to our keeping,
With the sad and sacred trust
OF guarding thy dear colors
In a cause to us SO just.
Oh, who that knows thy story,
Could deem it idle tears
We shed to-day at sight of thee,
After all these weary years!
A ''despised rag" to the many,
But unto us We were
An emblem of home and country,
And all that our hearts hold dear.
Ye heard our campfire stories,
Ye heard our dying groans,
Was pierced by the same bullets
That caused our cruel wounds!
No need have we of gifted tongue
Thy war-begrim'd aud tatter'd form
Bespeak to all, for us and thee,
The fierceness of the battle storm.
Oh, thing of life! your presence here
Resurrects for us the past,
And wrests thy early youth and ours
From Times remorseless grasp,
And, while the veil is lifted,
We pause aud drop comrades tear,
In memory of the soldier boys
Who died on battle fields afar.
They in life's bright morning
Bravely donned their suits OF gray,
Wore them for only a season,
And laid them down for aye.
We followed out their soldiers grave
In battle fields CORY sod,
And left "our country's sacrifice"
To resurrecting God.
Oh, loved and lost; we furl thee
With reverent hands, and truel
In memory of the early days
We associate with thee.
Back to the nations keeping,
With the humble trust
1t guard thy page in history
To thy fallen cause be just.
