Crowley Signal: The nnestion oI

Crowley Signal: The question of
good roads is being agitated in
almost every State in the Union
From our exchanges we learn that it
la now the prevailing theme in all
the parishes of Louisiana. How
shall we best secure good and per-
nanent roads is the leading issue
In many places the question is being
practically worked out and good re-
suits obtained, that is by general
road tax supplemented by certain
amount of road work each year. If
farmers could ever bring their pro-
duce to market on really good road
only once they would see such o diff
erence in the work of their teams, and
q saving of time they would be con-
verted at once. There should be
road tax levied and judiciously ap-
Piled to permanently improve the
roads. Nothing else will accomplish
it.

Died

Of swamp fever, at his home in Ash Point
Bossier parish, La, Sept. 5, 1892, EDDIE l..
MERCER, aged ID years, second son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. d Mercer.
1t is with sad heart that write the an
nOuncement of the death of this dear boy.-
Eddie was generous and affectiOnate, always
thoughtful of others, and in turn was a general
favOrite among his schoolmates and friends.
He leaves q devoted mother and father, broth
ers and sisters and many friends to mourn his
loss. 1t seems hard that one so young. 80 full
of life, should be cut down in the bloom OF
youth when life seemed so bright But alas
the angel of death came and removed one OF
the fairest and sweetest of flowers and bore ii
away to bloom in that fair garden above, where
there is no evil to tempt, no pain to aflict and
no grief to bow the stricken heart-but ali il
joy and peace and love. 1t is hard to give him
up, for we will miss him sadly, but God willed
it so; and, though we mourn his loss, vet we
bow in humble submission, for we know that
our kind Lord dOeth ali things WELL
AT midnight to our darling bed,
The morning Angel came,
And crowned with light his beauteous head.
And clothed his form with fame
His kindred came in shining state.
And led him by the hand,
Afar, through Merey's golden gate,
Into the Sunrise Land.
'Tis thus the good from earth depart,
Through paths by angels trod;
And bless ed are the pure in heart,
For they 60 home to God"

Only about six weeks more and we
viii know whether the Democratic
party is to have the opportunity they
have SO long been fighting for to
change the policy of our government.
When we remember how vitality
the people of this country are inter.
ested, we cannot doubt that they will
uphold the party whose success is SO
closely connected with their only
hope of future prosperity. The Dem
ocratic party promises an honest,
efficient and economical administra.
tion, and offers reform in taxation
and finance that affect the welfare of
the whole people, and especially of
the agricultural sections.
Let us all strive to give it the vic
tory.

The political situation is unchang-
ed and remains what it was in the
campaign of 1890. The Democrats
during the last session of Congress
tried to reduce expenditures, but they
could not. They have tried to drive
the Administration to reform the
abuses in the Pension Bureau, but
they have been met and overcome by
the Presidents obstinate adherence
to q scandalous administration
Above all, the Democrats have tried
to abolish some of the evils and to
tighten some of the burdens OF the
Mckinley tariff law. They have at
tackled some of it's most fragrant
abuses and some of the worst trusts
it has engendered, but the friends of
trusts and monopolies controlled the
ASenate and sat in the White House,
and the efforts of the Democratic
tariff reformers were lost, except as
they show to the country that the
party is still bent upon accomplish
ing the task which the people assign
ed to it in 1890.

m, LEWIS, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. L
Iidwell; aged 10 months and days.
Little laughing, loving Lewis,
Ere his life has passed away
On onr heart strings held full sway.
Charming dimpled, darling baby,
Underneath the sod you sleep.
None may know the sad hearts yearning,
None may know but those who weep.
In the future we will meet you
Meath the sun of eternal joy,
Giving love to those around you,
Homage to our angel boy.
Vacant are the hearts that loved you,
In the short time that you stayed,
Meath our home true nature brought you,
Charmed our life, then quickly strayed.
Father keep my baby angel,
Ever in your loving view,
Till join him sweetly saying,
Baby Lewis, this is you.

California canned goods are now
virtually excluded from Australia by
a high protective tariff law, enacted
by that country in retaliation for the
Mckinley iniquity. This is the logi-
cal outcome of our own tariff system,
and If other countries should follow
the Australian precedent we would
be without any foreign trade at all.
It's poor rule that wont work both
ways.

For Congress.
Hon. N. c. Blanchard,

THE COMING ELECTION. United
States Senate has II Republicans, 80
Democrats and two Farmers Alliance
members. The terms of 20 will ex-
pire March 8, 1893. OF these IL are
Republicans and IL are Democrats.
In order to get majority of the Sen
ate the Democrats must elect twelve
Democrats to FIJI the places of those
who will retire in March and capture
five seats from the Republicans. In
holding the twelve places there would
seem to be but little difficulty, as all
the States represented by these twelve
Democratic Senators are strongly
Democratic. Several of the Senators
OF both parties have already been
elected. Republican vacancies will
occur in several States where the
Democrats have a good fighting
chance, and there is fair prospect
of the election of Democrats in Con-
necticut, New York, Montana and
Wisconsin. This would make tie
between the two parties. But it is
not impossible that the Democrats
may gain another Senator in Michi-
gan. The Democratic party is, there
fore, contending this year for the
Presidency and both Houses of Con-
gress. If it is successful it will have
full control of the government for the
first time since March 3, 1861.

The Center street Sunday school were sadly disappointed in not being able to hold their Children's day services on ac- count of the heavy shower, Sunday even- ing. A pyramid of honor had been erect ed and handsomely decorated. One of the most interesting programs that they ever had had been prepared and their an- ticipations of an enjoyable time seemed about to be realized as it commenced raining. They are not discouraged, but will carry out the program, next Sunday evening, if pleasant and, if not, the first fair Sunday evening.
