In the old empire state,
Where willow and elder,
Shaded depths dark and cool.
Where with pole, line and hook,
Invent early and late,
To angle for beauties,
In each eddy and pool.
Stretching back from tho brook
Lay pasture and meadow,
Where bright tiger lilies
Graceful bent to tho breeze.
Where the humming-bird took,
A rest in their shadow,
And red clover blossoms.
Furnished nectar for bees.
Meath the tall waving grass,
That covered the meadow,
The strawberry fl%ourished,
Bearing fruit for the gods;
And bure.fOoted lasses
With little splint baskets.
Stole berries and beauty
From the vine covered sods.

The most radical adherent to the
puritanical idea of Sunday observance
can scarcely find any fault with Sera-
tor Pettgirew's position Oh thnsunday
closing of the worlds fair. THIS great
exhibition is an American institution
held in the center Of the American
continent, in an American city, and it
should be conducted on the American
view of things. This nation is essen
teally a christian nation. The govern
ment is founded upon the principles
set forth by the christian religion One
of.those doctrins Is that n day should
be kept sacred from secular avoca-
tions and devoted to the worship of the
Creator and Ruler of the universe.
The Sunday closing Of the fair in a
measure re-afirms the belief of the
people in the religion, and the nation
itself sets o good example to the sub
jects. Senator Pettigrew is right on
this matter and his constituency will
commend and approve his action.

THE VALUE OF LIME WA
TER.

The value Of lime water about
the house in the summer can
scarcely be overestimated. To pre-
pare it is an easy matter. rs al
that is necessary is to put a layer
Of unslacked lime in q vide mouth
ed jar and ill it with cold water.
There is no danger pf using too
much lime, rs the water will only
take up so much, however much is
put in. 1t takes only = few hours
for the water to take up all the lime
that is possible. After It has stood
say five hours the water may be
drained OF and more water added
until the lime is all absorbed.
Acidity of the stomach is correct
ed by adding q little FDae water to
the drinking water. "A teaspoon
full Of lime water added to . glass
Of milk corrects the tendency which
it has to coagulate in tLe stomach,
forming q hard, indigeitible mass.
For this reason it shopld be added
to the milk fed the children, and
nursing bottles should be rinsed
with it. As . mild disinfectant
there is nothing safer or better

LIKE JOHN L.

At Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Tuesday
night, Senator Allison, speaking Of
the Congressional elections in 1890,
said that "the Republican party,
like John l.. Sullivan, took defeat
gracefully and acknowledged its
defeat" The comparison Of the
Republican party to John L. Sulli-
van is, in some respects, very
striking indeed. Like the ex-cham-
pion, it was, in its time Of triumph,
. bully, . swaggerer and . de-
bauchee. But when it was knock
ed out in 1890 it refused. unlike
Sullivan's conduct on . similar oc-
casion, to 'ackhowledge defeat
gracefully" 1t has been crying
ssfoul'' ever since, and the Dem0c-
racy will have to punish it harder
than ever in November, to con-
vince it that its fighting days are
over.-Times-Dem0crat.

THE ELECTION.

Not anticipating any serious
Republican or Third Party opposi-
ton in this district, either In the
presidential or congressional fight,
and considering Democratic success
therefore . foregone conclusion, We
have hitherto permitted other mat
tiers and things OF lesser moment to
occupy in these colomns q space
which should have been devoted
to keeping before the minds of the
people that question paramount to
all others just now-the importance
of Democratic success on the 9th
of November. As We have said, no
opposition to the Democratic can
didate in this district was appre-
hended, no republican congression-
al nomination had been made, and
the Third Patty people made no
show Of fight. Now, however, the
situation Is completely changed.
Col. Robertson is confronted with
an opponent in the person Of Uncle
Josiah Kleinpeter Of Baton Rouge,
the champion OF the Thirdities who.
from now on, will make an active
canvass Of the district. The repub-
licans will not put forward . candi.
date for Congress, but, according
to the ter ms OF the compact
existing betwe en- them and Third.
ties, and which we give in another
column, they will make q desperate
effort with the Third Party's aid,
which is pledged to them, to cap
ture the presidential elector from
this district.
Thus it will be seen that where
lately all was lovely and serene,
things have gotten mixed and
the situation has grown serious,
albeit not yet alarming. We have
no fear for Pointe Coupee however,
It has always done its duty by the
Democratic party in the past and
will not swerve from the true line
in the future vet, let every one re.
member that the enemy we have to
deal with is both bold and cunning,
and that we should take no chances.

A FARMERS DREAM.

An old farmer attended . Third
Party meeting, and after listening
to the glorious promises held out by
Methodist Jim," he went home
almost persuaded" That night
he dreamed he visited the internal
regions; and while being shown
around by 'Old Satan the follow
ing dialogue occurred:
Farmef-"Who are those people
that burn 90 bright, and throw OF
such great heat, and smile while
they burn9"
Old Satan-''They are Republi-
cans, and have been 80 used to hav-
ing the fat fried out of them. that
they smile rs il they liked it,
Farmcr-'Where are the Demo-
Gratis! 2"
Old Satan-'Democrats! I
would give halt Of my kingdom to
get just one Democrat! They get
80 much ''hell on EARTH" that We
never get them they take the eleva-
tor to . higher plane"
Farmer-''What is that big pile
over there that smokes 30, and has
no flame
Old Satan-''Oh! they are the
Third party people. They are 20
green that we have to kiln-dry them
before they will burn"
Fsrmer-''Well, goodbye, boss !!
The Democratic party Is good
enough for me-"
In the morning he said: "Old
woman, il any one tells you / have

SOME EFFECTS OF THE
FORCE BILL.

We understand that the Third
Party people are praying for the
passage Of the Force Bill. The
National Republican, Of Washing
ton City. gives it's reasons, As fol.
lows, why this measure should be
adopted:
with the Lodge national cleo
ton law in full force over the
South and various Democratic
strongholds up North, we may
confidently look for . different
state Of political affairs than now
exist. New York City will then
return several more Republican
Congressman than at present,
while more than twenty negro
Representatives from the South
will render the Republican con-
troll Of the future Congress abso-
lutte safe and secure.
"Heavy taxes should be LAID
upon the properly Of the whites
to develop and extend the pub
lie school system Of those States.
Separate schools for the two races
should be abolished, and the plan
Of bringing the youths Of both colors
into close and equal relations in
schools and churches given . fair
trial, - one Of the most potent
elements to break down the detesta-
BILE bourbonism Of the South. The
State laws against the intermarriage
Of the races should be repealed, and
any discrimination against the
blacks In the matter Of learning
trades or obtaining employment
should be . criminal oRense-
while the colored mans right "a
hold Office should be sacredly pro-
tected and recognized. A few
years of this policy will solve the
race problem satisfactorily"

THE HOBGOOD CASE.
The TRIAL AGAIN Co.'s OVER on
ACCOUNT or ABSENT WITNESSES.

Franklinton, La, Oct. "a
Promptly at Gals the Hobgood case
was called. BY that time the court
room was filed with eager specta-
tors and trembling jurors. The
State witnesses were called. Chas.
Grain and Press Thomas, two inn
portant witnesses, who testified in
the preliminary trial, failed to an
swer. Mrs. Eb. Ribbo and son
and Dewitt Branch, new witnesses,
also failed to answer. The former
resides in Mississippi, while the
latter, . boy Of twelve years old,
lives in this parish. The judge de-
sired to know IL the State was
ready to 90 to trial. The State asked
for an hour to deliberate. Att0r-
new J. A. Reid announced in clear
and emphatic tones that the defense
was ready 70 60 into trial. The
hour soon rolled away and the court
reassembled. District Attorney
Edwards said the State was not
ready for trial - the absent witness
e. were material ones. The defense
although In . precarious condition
rs to witnesses, was ready. The
Judge said that the State had the
right to use the testimony Of Wit
nesses delivered at the preliminary
trial. who were now absent. Mr..
Edwards asked time to file an ap-
plication for . continuance, be-
cause Of the absence Of Dewitt
Branch, whose testimony was not
taken At the preliminary trial and
regarded by him as important, and
the court ajourned 1t 1880 p. m.
The court recouvened 1t the proper

. O'Clock in the morning. The
District Attorney also doubted the
admissability Of the evidence Of
Chas. Grain and Press Thomas,
given at the preliminary examina-
ton, and in his petition urged that
ground for continuance. Lawyer
Reid seemed to want it thoroughly
understood that be had consented

It has been said bv those engaged
in some particular industry that to
remove the tariff protection from
their industry would ruin it. Thia
opinion is doubtless correct, il the
tariff should continue on everything
but the protected industry. For
instance, the removal Of al the
protection from sugar. while the
tariff on other articles remains or Is
increased, would ruin the sugar
business.
But If the principle Of revenue
tariff should obtain, and the reve-
nues sufficient for the government
should be laid on all imports, so
that the burdens Of taxation should
be equalized, no industry worth
saving would be seriously crippled.
1t is true that some Of the manu-
featuring industries that are now
heaping up enormous fortunes in q
few years would be compelled to
content themselves With smaller pro-
fits, but they would still be enabled
to make rs large . per centage
profit on the investment ~ the
farmer makes on his; and the cost
Of living would be SO materially de-
creased that the money would 20
much further.
For instance, the admissions Of .
manufacturing tailor, recently inter-
viewed by the New York Tribune,
that the labor cost of manufactur-
ing wooden clothing is only 33l
per cent, while the present. pro-
lection is IS per cent, show that the
maker Of WOODEN goods not only is
protected to the entire amount oil
the cost Of his labor, but Is enabled
to compel the consumer to give hmm
a bounty Of more than 40 per cent
besides the legitimate profit.
This would be changed by . rev.
enue tariff, and the sugar grower
would buy his clothing, his machin-
cry, his chemicals, and everything
else, 50 much cheaper that he could
do rs well in his business with q
revenue tariff a. at present.
The idea Of. the revenue tariff,
as advocated by the Democratic
party is, that all classes Of people
should have an equal chance. and
that none should be given special
privileges by the government.
The protection taught by Mckinley
and Harrison. on the other hand,
proposes special privileges for the
few, by which they may make enor-
nous fortunes at the expense Of the
other classes Aud when these tar
III barons have made their millions,
even though the farms Of the Uni
ted States are mortgaged for larg-
er sum than the entire cost Of the
great war Of 1876, they call that
prosperity.
We are in favor Of equalizing
prosperity by giving all classes IN
equal chance. Hence We are fol
