Pelican Polltics.

The political situation in louisiana is
made up OF chunks. There is no solidity
about any part Of it, 50 far as has been dis
covered. Factionalism has rent both Of the
leading parties in twain, and, although the
lottery company has announced its inten-
tion of going out OF business at the expira-
tion of It's present charter. the lottery issue
Is apparently keeping the breaches open.
The Democratic party struck the lottery
rock head-on at the time of the state cons
vention and split. Seeing this the managers
of the republican corpse pulled themselves
together, galvanized the cada7er and pre-
pared to capture the state or dislocato
vertebrR. The latter is what happened as
soon as the strain was put on, and now tho
shanks Of the skeleton walk where they list
and the head goes its own way, while the
winds whistle.
The interesting part Of the campaign is
alleged to be within the Democratic party
between the "McEneryitos. under the lead
of fex-Gov. McEnery and the "Holy Boilers"
under M. J. Foster. as candidates for the
governorship, and the amenities of the
campaign which they are continually passing
Each party has its newspaper organ,
handled by men capable of coping with
anything from dog fight in the French
market to an International complication,
and make speeches by day and pour elo-
quencs into cold type at night, each for the
good Of his cause. They are faithful. those
editors, and if both sides don'S win it will
not be their fault, but the fault of that
natural law which will not permit two
bodies TO occupy the same place at the same
time Their energy is worthy better cause.
Seriously, the situation in Louisiana is
very unfortunate. While there may be no
danger from the Republican party as it
stands at present, the mere fact of the dem
ocratic house being divided against itself is a
menace to the better government which has
obtained in Louisiana during the last fifteen
years. The republican element in the south
possesses a wonderful faculty of getting
together ~ ami under the management of a
shrewd and strong leader-which is lacking
now-might make a very unpleasant sur
prise for the Pelican democrats some fine
morning.

A Movement in the Right Direction.
Alliancemen and other citizens Of Troup
county held meeting in the court house at
LaGrange last week and had an interesting
and very sensible talk about the unsatis-
factory financial condition Of the farmers of
the county and the causes which have led to
it. They agreed that it was almost wholly
due to the fact that the farmers give almost
all their time and attention to the cultiva-
tion Of cotton and neglect food crops, stock
and fruit. They did not charge their
financial troubles to lack Of currency;
neither did they demand that the govern
ment should loan money on farm property
or farm products. They looked the situation
squarely in the face and said that farmers
could not help becoming poor If they
planted their farms in cotton when the
price OF cotton was so low that the proceeds
Of the crop did not pay for the cost of pro-
duction, and food for farm hands and stock
was purchased at prices much above the
cost Of production. In the resolutions they
adopted they said: "Under our system OF
farming we give precedence to cotton, to
the exclusion of he supply crops, so that the
former, because OF its abundance, is below
the cost OF production and is all expended
in buying the latter. The meat, lard,
flour, meal, corn, hay. bran, oats, Irish
potatoes, onions, horses. mules, to say
nothing of the buggies and wagons sold in
LaGrange, West Point and Hogansville,
annually will approximate nearly 81 ,0O0, 900,
all Of which goes from this section to the
north and west. Let us pause moment 10
the face of this vast sum of money and then
honestly ask and honestly and braveIy
answer, is not this the cause Of our trouble9
To ask the question is to answer it, But you
say, this we have heard for the last twenty
five years. Yes, but have you heeded9 Nay,
verify, but, knowing the right, wo still the
wrong pursueP"
The farmers in all parts of the south are
waking up to the fact that in order to save
Themselves from financial ruin they must
produce their own supply crops 1t is
| difficult thing for them to change their
system of farming-to get rid OF the idea
that crop that brings money 10 the one
that insures prosperity, A crop that can
always be turned into money is an attract
| i've one to the farmers, because with money
| they can purchase whatever they want.
They do not take into account to as great
an extent as they should the fact that all
the money they get for cotton is spent for
| what they can produce at home. Although
as much corn. wheat and hay cannot be
raised on an acre in the south as in the west
yet they can be raised by southern farmers
for less than they can be bought in the
south. Let the southern farmers raise their
own supply crops, and within a very few
years they will not be afraid of being sold
out by the sheriff when the price of cotton
| is low.

An Old Mans Dream.
By Olirer Wendell Holmes,

o for one hour Of youthful joy?
Give back my twentieth spring.
I'd rather laugh q bright haired boy
Than reign a gray-haired king
of with the wrinkled spoils of agel
Away with learnings crown!
Tear out life's wisdom written page,
And dash its trophies down
One moment let my life-blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame!
Give me one giddy, reeling dream
OF lie all love and fame.
My listening angel heard the PRAYER,
And calmly smiling said,
"If but touch thy silvered hair,
Thy hasty wish mad sped.
"But is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished-for day"
All, truest soul of womankind!
Without thee, what were life?
One bliss l cannot leave hehind-
I'll take-my-precious-
The angel took a sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew:
THE man would be boy again,
And be husband, too!'
-"And Is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember, al their gifts have fed
With those dissolving years.
Why. yes; for memory would recall
My fond paternRl joys;
! could not bear to leave them all;
I'll taks-my-girl-and boys!
The smiling angel dropped his pen;
why this will never do;
The man would be boy again,
And be q father. too"
And 50 laughed-my laughter woke
The household with its noise
And wrote my dream. when morning br,
To please the gray haired boys.
