better for it. At the town OF Benton, we
met many of our old friends that we
have known for many years, and they
gave us a hearty welcome. This was our
first visit since the new town was estdb-
l!shed as the county seat. The new jail
is completed, and we must say il is a
credit To any parish. The Jail occupies
the second story and is perfect III all its
appointments, being supplied with water
works of a simple nature, having force
pump that keeps tank supplied on the
top of the building. The lower part is
used for Offices, the court house is under
construction and will soon be under roof.
Some beautiful residences have recently
been completed. Among those we men
ton are Capt. Thomson, Mr. Murff and
Mrs. Browulee. The town seems to be
laid out with the view of being one OF the
largest cities some day. not excepting
Shreveport. How or just when these
many blocks will be built up Is more

merchants do not complain half as much

Come to the Southern Hardware

They are the recognized leaders in

They have an immense stock of

has worked up such trade in both
city and country.
Don't forget that they are head

The Republican Party.

The platform adopted by the Nation
al Republican Convention at Mime.
apolis. is one that any good American
citizen can stand upon. No backward
step has been taken, there has been
no evasive utterance, but frank and
manly declaration of principles. II
declares In favor of the protective leg
islation that has characterized the
party in the past, especially in favor
OF the Mckinley tariff and reciprocity.
1t protects American labor by the
+. declaration that there should be levied
dutie3equal to the difference between
wages abroad and wages at home. 1t
maintains that under reciprocity en-
larged markets have been opened for
the products of the farms and work.
i shops. 1t ailirms that our present
laws will eventually give us control of
the trade of the whole world, and
notes the bitterness with which Demo.
Gratis oppose these wholesome meas
ares.
The declaration on the silver ques-
demands the maintenance of the pari-
ty OF values of all metals used as
money, so that the purchasing and
debt-paying power of the dollar.
whether of silver, gold or paper shall
be at all times equal, and that every
dollar issued by the government shall
be as good us any other dollar.
The platform with the same manly
courage, demands free and unre-
stricted ballot for every citizen, and
that such ballot shall be counted and
returned as cast. Toreaeh this desira-
Bile purpose, the party demands the
passage and enforcement of such laws
rs will secure to every citizen, be he
rich or poor, native or foreign born,
white or black, this sovereign right
guaranteed by the Constitution, and it
10 farther declared that the party will
not cease its efforts, until the purity
Of elections shall DO fully practiced In
avery State. These are three main
planks Of the platform. They arc
straightforward. manly, easily un-
derstood.
But no less emphatic is the party on
minor topics of less Importance. The
platform declares in favor of the cX-
tension OF foreign commerce. creation
of navy and more stringent prohbl-
hon Of criminal, pauper and contract
labor immigration. It. denounces all
trusts and combinations to control
the conditions of trade, synpathizcs
with Home rule for Ireland, and op.
poses the persecution of the Jews in
Russia. On the school question all
agencies for the education of children
are encouraged, religious liberty is
upheld and opposition Is declared tc
any union of chureh.aT State. All
wise and legltiai1 FITS to lessen
and prevent the evils Of intemperauce
is encouraged. Cheap postage and
FREQ delivery in towns are advocated,
and 80 is consistent Civil Service Re-
form, and reasonable aid for the
Worlds Expositionat Chicago advised.
These compose the body and gist of
the platform. Every plank is live
issue ami worthy of the support of the
great Republican party of the nation
