MR.. FUNSTON TOLD THE TRUTH.

Last Monday Messrs. Funston, of
Kansas Republican, and Livingston
and Watson, of Georgia, and Mr.. En-
lQe, of Tennessee, had a little spat in
| Congress. Mr. Livingston made the
assertion that Mr.. Funston could not
name a single article that goes on the
farmers table that is not dearer since
the Mckinley bill became a law. Mr..
Funston declared that cut nails were
selling at So 80 per hundred pounds be-
fore the Mckinley bill passed and now
they were only 81 So. -Messrs. Watson
and others informed him that farmers,
as a rule, did not eat nails. But that
was the only answer Mr.. Funston ever
made.
But Mr.. Funston is not far wrong.
Everything the farmer makes, with
but few exceptions, is cheaper than
they were before the Mckinley bill
became law. Our cotton and tobacco
is cheaper. Grain is a little higher,
but that bill didn't change it. Yes,
everything the farmer makes is
cheaper. The more tariff bills, the less
the farmer gets for his stuff.

Beware Of Imposition q!

chers Castoria is made and put up in the Labor
atOry of The Centaur Company, Now York, in
but one size bottle, and on the outside wrapper
the formula is printed and the facsimile sigma
ture of "Chas. Fl. Fletcher, New York" No
other preparation offered as Castoria is genuine.
To counterfeit or initiate either in the name or
signature is criminal otfense. Dr.. Pitchers
Castoria has become valuable standard fam
lily medicine with the Endorsement of some of
tile best physicians in America. Don't allow
any one to sell you anything else on the plea or
promise that it is "just as goOd,' and will an
swer every purpose. etc, etc. Castoria is sold
by all respectable druggists and dealersin medi-
cine.
Do not be deceived when you buy it, but look
we'll at the wrapper and see If it has the sigma
turc of Chas H Fletcher, New York. No other
can be genuine. CastOria without this sigma
ture is a base fraud.

JAUNT TO THE ROCKIES.

AS the first days of summer come, the ques
ton naturally arises among tourists and pleas
ure seekers, where shall we spend our vaca-
ton ? II d map of either the IRON MOUNTAIN
ROUTE or MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY is
at hand, "a glance over it gives you the answer
I'm THE REGION OF THE ROCKIES"
Your mind is made as to location Now the
selection of the route is the next matter of i'm
portance. The IRON MOUNTAIN-M MISSOURI
PACIFIC LINES offer the choice of two routes
from South and Southeastern points to the far
famed summer resorts of Colorado, Utah and
the Rocky Mountains, via. Little Rock, Fort
Smith and the WAGNER ROUTE, and via
St. Louis Kansas City and the " Colorado
Short Line :" Through Pullman Buffet Sleeping
Cars, st. Louis to Kansas City, Pueblo, Colora.
do Springs and Denver; Through Pullman Buf-
ion Pacific Railways, ST. Louis to Denver, Chey-
enne, Ogden and Salt Lake City. For further
particulars, call or write Company's Agent, St.

pamphlet.

We received on Thursday, with "the
compliments of the management of the
Southern Pacific Co.." a round trip pass
from Opelousas to Alexandria, sent, the
polite letter of transmittal stated, to
enable you (us) to attend the annual

ciation." Whether the management in
tended to be pleasantly sarcastic or not,
we cannot say, but it has our thanks for
the thoughtful courtesy all the same.

Actual Travelling Expenses.

|
In looking over the list of disburse-
mcnts of tho committee on contingent
expenses of the House of Representa-
tives, we find striking inequality in
the "actual travelling expenses incur
red 10y the members of that body in
making one trip to Baton Rouge and
return. For instance, one of the men,
bers from Avoyelles spent only S5 for
that purpose, while the other spent $40;
the two members from Rapides spent
S12 each, while the members from the
adjoining parishes of Grant, Winn and
Vernon spent, the first s;57, and the
other two $50 each; one member from
the parish Of Natchitoches spent S25,
while the other made an actual cash
outlay of $39.4O; most of the members
from Orleans managed to make the
round trip for $50, one spent 81, another
$3.50, while two incurred no expense
whatevcr-thesc latter having evidently
used the railroad passes which, it is
the belief of most people, nearly all the
members of the legislature carry around
in their pockets.
Among the many other strange ine-
qualities in this list, we further note
that one of the members from st. Mary
spent $3.50 for his round trip, while it
cost the other $2s.4O; that the member
from Calcasieu spent $24.70, while the
member from Acadia, not so far away
from the capital, had to disburse $50,
and the member from Cameron, but a
little farther off, was compelled to con-
tribute $50 to the voracious maws of the
companies.
The same puzzling anomaly exists
with reference to the representatives
from this parish, for we find that one
spent $940 for the round trip while the
two others spent S25 each.
Its funny how they do it, but they
do"

Post Office Rulings.

| Publishers of secOnd-class matter
have the right to print or write on the
wrappers thereof requests for its return
| it not delivered within given time, and
| pOstmasters are required to comply
with such requests.
/ Under the provisions of section 1854
Postal Laws and Regulations, post
masters must, by timely acquisitions,
keep their offices supplied with adhesive
stamps of every kind, with stamped en-
velopes, newspaper wrappers, and pos
tai cards in sufficient quantities to meet
the public demand.
Contractors and mail carriers have no
right to refuse to carry packages of
mailable matter which, on account of
size and shape, cannot be put into the
mail pouch. 1t is their duty to carry
the mail, and every part thereof.
The attention of postmasters is called
to the Importance of promptly notify
ing publishers of second-class matter,
when copies of their publications s
remain undelivered in the office of ad-
dress for period of thirty days.
Postmasters are responsible for sthe
acts of their assistants and clerks, and
may, therefore, select them without re-
gard to age, provided they are capable
of performing the duties devolving up
on them. The Department does not
however, permit postmaster to retain
any one in the post office who is dis
courteous to the public, or is habitually
careless or negligent in the performance
Of official duty.
Complaint is made that some post
masters fail to make delivery of news
papers unless the same are specially
called for. This ought not SO to be.
All matter intended for delivery should
be SO arranged that when application is
made for mail, newspapers, as we'll as
letters, could be readily and promptly
delivered to the applicant.

A mOssback, gentle reader, is a cross

tests boom, loves to have others bear
all the taxes, hates new enterprise,
despises anything which smacks OF pro-
gress and never helps a paper boom it's

a hive of industrious bees, and like the
bees the live business man should avoid
