About as striking a specimen of
inconsistency as we ever remember
TO have encountered is afforded by a
recent issue of the Lake Providence
Banner-Demoerat. In one para
graph it says "The Police Jury Of
Lafourche ignored the plain letter of
the law in giving the parish printing
to the Comet, when the Thibodanz
Sentinel was the lowest bidder.
Such l~awlessness should not be sub.
mitted to-" Yet in the same column
it remarks: 1.-THE Lafourche Comet
in its erratic course struck the par.
ish printing the other day. Glad Of
it, it has luminous Taylor at its
head.n
Surely, Bro. Morgan must be
growing humorous, these dull days.

Those Northern journals which
delight to howl and rave about "the
lawless South" and the poor down
trdoden negro" will be d~isagreeably
surprised to learn that the white
people of Shreveport few days ago
held a mass meeting to denounce the
Jury who acquitted a white man
charged with killing q negro. Yet
it ia 30. Hudson, the white hoodlum
who killed anegro boy in Shreve-
port ON September s, was tried and
acquitted last week. The crime
was deliberate and cold.blooded. So
dissatisfied were the people Of
Shreveport at the verdict than an
indignation meeting was held in
that city on Monday night, over
which Mayor Vinson presided
Strong resolutions condemning the
jury were adopted and the jury
commissioners of Caddo parish were
requested and urged to never again
draw the names Of the jury for jury
duty.

The PopuIftes Decline . Joint
Discussion

The Peoples Party candidate for
Congress, 1. J. Mills. being billed to
speak in this parish to-day, and the
Democrats having a mass meeting
here Tomorrow, DR.. R. J. Young,
chairman Of the Democratic parish
executive committee, thought the
occasion would be favorable for a
a Joint discussion between the tWo
party's standard bearers, and he ac-
cordingly issued a challenge ad-
dressed TO chairman Archie Young,
of the Peoples party parish exeeu-
tive committee, requesting a division
of time at the Peoples party meeting
to-day at J. The6clet Theriot's and
offering the same privilege at the
Democratic meeting here Sunday.
After consulting with the leading
members Of the party, chairman Ar
chic Young, verbally declined on the
ground that Mr.. Mills time was too
short to permit him to remain over
here until the next day.
Why did they not grant a division
OF time at the meeting at Theriot's ?
Are they afraid to stand the test?

Ringing Words.
Editor Meridional .

Editor Meridional -
1t is now reported that Mrs. Lease
of Kansas, has advised the Third
Party people to scratch Weaver
and vote for Harrison. The writer
has written to the N. 0. Delta that
it will be generally done here, at
least by the old Republicans of that
party. There is no doubt of the
fact that in this State, {Louisiaaa,)
they are working in the interest of
the Harrison ticket. As a member
of the Farmers Alliance it is de-
sired to have it distinctly under.
stood that I do not affiliate with the
third party.
I have been gudeLy accused Of read.
ing only one side and assured that
the Democratic papers lie. | have
read 'uany Alliance papers and am
sure they can not be excelled in that
line Of business and | have not re.
newed my subscription to any of
them.
Ambrose Mouton, who is on the
Weaver electoral ticket is a member
of the Legislature from Vermilion
Parish and elected as q Deaocyat.
The Third party was organized in
this parish at Coulee Kinney With
tout debate. Only one side Was heard.
Those opposed TO it were SO disgust
ed they did not vote. The resolutions
were read by q Northern immigrant
and put to the vote in solido and in-
stanter without debate.
Mrs. Lease is the negro loving
woman who came with Weaver and
both Of them were treated with re-
markable courtesy by the Southern
people, especially when it is con,
sidered that their mission was 10
divide the Southern people in the
interest of The Republican party.
They have no possible hope of elect
ing their ticket and are Republicans
at heart as one said in a letter re
Gently published. Why does moi
Mrs. Lease even allnde 10 one out
rage, such as that inhuman and bar
barous outrage upon Mr.. Johnston
and his accomplished daughter in
Alabama receatly? If one hundred
were killed for an act it would bt
without fearo Of striking the wrong one
because the SOBER settled ones, as oil
old, are the prime instigators Of such
outrages, Indirectly. but surely.

against these things. He. the editor

When anything stands test OF fifty
years among discriminating people like
the Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. The valne
of a medicine is best proved by its contin.
ued use from year to year by the same
persons and families, as we'll as by 8
steady increasing sale. Few, if any,
medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked the
introduction and progress OF Brandreth's
Pills, which, after a trial of over fifty
years, are conceded to be the safest and
most effective purgative and blood purifier
introduced to the public.
That is the result of merit, and that
Brandreth's Pills actually perform all that
claimed for them, is conclusively proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold In every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
