Plaquemine Journal: Our friend
Charleville had quite an adventure a
few days ago with an enraged She
bear. He was in the swamp on
Bayou Crosse Tete, prospecting for
cypress timber, and was in the midst
of a cane-brake. Hearing the cane
cracking near by, he concluded it was
caused by bear. Presently a half
grown cub came in sight, close to
him. He emptied both barrels of his
gun into him, fatally wounding him.
The cub cried out only as cub can,
and his cries speedily brought the
mother bear to the spot, with hair all
bristled. looking ugly and full of
fight. Our friend Charleville could
not run for the thick cane, his gun
was empty and he defenseless against
the enraged bear. He jumped be-
hind an ash tree, hoping the bear
would not see him, but she did, and
came directly for him, showing in
tent to devour him. Charleville's sit
uation was appalling and desperate.
He faced the bear, with hat in hand,
and with a great sweep of arm SHE'D
his hat at her, and with loud voice
exclaiming, s'Sou-ier which fright
ened her into the cane and gave him
a chance 10 make his escape; not
knowing but that he had turned gray

New Orleans States: The hustling
little city of Shreveport is doing a
good business in the manufacture of
yitri6ed brick for paving purposes.
The bricks are made of native clay,
and as there is good clay in easy
reach of New Orleans, an enterprise
of the came kind should be started
by some of our local capitalists. 1t
has been demonstrated in a number
of cities that as paving material the
vitrified brick is great success, MAX

ment.

Crowley Signal: The grand jury
OF st. Landry parish, at the present
term of the District Court at Ope-
lousas, found true bills against every
saloon keeper in the parish for sell
ing liquor in violation of the Sunday
law. A great many parishes are en-
forcing the Sunday law, and the sen
timent to enforce it seems to be
spreading all over the State The
law should either be enforced or be
repealed, one of the two We believe,
however, that a majority of the peo-
pie desire to see the Sunday law en-
forced, not only from a religious
sense of obligation, but to promote
the general industry and good order
of society.
That's the true sentiment, and
when all the papers in the State have
the manliness to speak out for the
supremacy of the law in the Sunday
law violations, as they are so quick to
do in some others, then will these de-
testable saloon men who are treating
this enactment with contempt, be
made to respect acts of the General
Assembly. THE PRoGREss intends. as
it started out to do, to keep up the
fight as long as it has power to do so
The name of st. Landry paris
should be marked down in the mey-
ory of respectable people as anotler
parish which is determined to enfGce

NEW YORK, Sept 2s
Cleveland Democrats are in anything
but a pleasant frame of mind The anxi-
ously expected speech of Senator Hill has
been made, but they were not happy. 1t
took 9,342 words for Mr. Hill to say what
he wanted to, and only two of these were
devoted to the candidates. To Carl
Schurz, E. L. Godllin and other mugwump
friends of Mr. Cleveland, whom he de
scribes as political guerillas," the senator
devoted 123 words. Most of the remainder
OF his address was devoted to putting Mr.
Cleveland in hole. Mr. Cleveland is q
big man in avirdupois, consequently Sen
ator Hill dug a big hole.
Friends of Senator Hill say that it was
the best speech of his career His enemies
say that it was the most adroit piece of
political knitting in the history of New
York politics, and the knife has been
welded skillfully here on numerous occa-
sions.
Chairman Harrity, Don NJ. Dickinson,
Josiah Quincy and the other gentlemen in
charge of Mr.. Cleveland's political con-
science, became aware very early in the
campaign that the unconstitutional
tariff plank in their Chicago platform
was its great weakness. Absolute free
trade was more than the decrepit old
Democratic donkey could carry.
Free Trade Nailed on Tight.
The plank was not what Mr.. Cleveland
wanted, and he practically served notice
at the Madison Square meeting that he
would ignore it. This. he and his friends
believe would hold in line thousands ~
Democrats whom the free trade cry is driv-
ing from the party. But Senator Hill has
nailed Cleveland so tightly to the "uncon-
stitutional tariff " plank that all the pom
derous words flung at ii from Gray Gables
cannot make it anything but a part of the
policy to which the entire party stands
committed.
An interesting fact to the student of po-
htical harmony lies in Senator Hills sud
den conversion to free trade. Heretofore
he has been classed with such Democrats
as the late Samuel j. Randall, George
Ticknor Curtis, Arthur p. German and
Smith NJ Reed, all of whom believe thor
oughly in the doctrine of protection, and
differ from their Republican opponents
only in the question of a high or low tariff.
Among people who know Mr.. Hill best the
opinion is freely expressed that his advo'
cacy of absolute free trade is intended tO
commit the Democrats in this campaign
to that unfortunate issue, with a full
knowledge of the inevitable result tC

THE LETTERS O. s.

Here is something very clever from
the Carlisle Herald, which appears to
have made a discovery
"The initials of the Democratic
candidates for President and Vice
President are the letters @. S., which
had peculiar significance during the
war. The G. 5. were united then.
They are united now, and the main
strength of the ticket must come from
them. Even a portion of the plat
form is so like the Constitution of the
Confederate States that it may have
been taken from it. Southern Demo-
Gratis can again wear the letters G. s.,
as they did during the war, but only
to suffer another defeat"
That defeat will come as certain as
the sun rises and sets on election day,
November Sth. Now is the time to
pay your taxes in order to cast your
vote and help inflict this defeat on the
g. S. party.

Finest Military Exhibition Seen in tha
Metropolis Since the war-The Divi-

NEW York Oct. 7-To.morrow morn
ing, in all the synagogues, will be held
services commemorative of the discovery
OF the New World, and with them the
great New York celebration of tie 400th
anniversary of the event will be inaugur-
ated.
The programme for the mastering OF
the military parade on Wednesday, Oct.
~, has just been issued. In its details
it is even more elaborate than the corre-
spending programme of the naval display
of the day previous, which takes in the
whole harbor and most of the mercantile
marine as an adjunct to the procession of
foreign and national naval vessels.
The military parade is to be divided
into 10 divisions, under General Martin
r. Mcmahon, Grand Marshal They will
stretch across Manhattan Island like an
octopus, according to the arrangements
for their mastering. The places and time
of assembling have all been arranged with
great care, so as to permit each division
to fall into line at the proper moment
The first division will comprise 1000
u s. troops. Afterwards are to follow
5000 men of the First Brigade of the
New York National Guard, as an escort
to the visiting troops.
Next will be the naval brigade ot $50
men. Following these will be brigade
of 9, 500 men from New Jersey, with Gov
Albeit as COMMUNICATIVE chief. After
these will come a brigade from the State
of Pennsylvania, 300 strong These are
to precede the guard of honor to the
Preside
Next will come the fremen and ex-
empt firemen, and all the qualifications Of
the Firemen's Organization in New York
and neighboring cities.
The Italians will follow next. Their
strength, Infantry and cavalry, is placed
at a thousand or So After them will fol
low the French military organizations,
| but their feeble ranks will be entirely
! swamped in the Grand Army men of the
State, and visiting posts, who are tc
march next to them, 5000 strong.
The German-American societies. who
will form the last division, are estimated
to run over 10000 men. This will make
a total of considerably over 40, 900 mer
to be handled in the parade, if all the es
| Inmates are fulfilled and the time which
the military parade will take to pass a
| given point, on this basis, will make
| very long days show.

FARMERS AND TAXATION.
Giles D. Price Sees Prosperity in Reel
prooity.

Giles D. Price Sees Prosperity in Reel
prooity.
In an interesting address on federal tax
alton at a recent Grangers' picnic Giles d.
Price, of Erie, Pa, treated his subject in
thorough and comprehensive manner. He
showed the necessity disappearing the nat
ional government, to omeetitsobligations ito
defend its citizens at home and abroad, and
to enforce the federal laws. A federal rev.
nue. of more than a million dollars day is
required to meet the current expenses of
the government.
This must be met either by direct tax,
the imposing ofs an excise tax on the pro-
ductions of the people or tax onimports.
He explained the operation of each sys-
TEN, and then, among other things, Mr..
Price said:
"Eleven-twelfths of our average annual
product is now consumed by our own peo-
Pile, and only one-tWelfth of it is sold
abroad. Hence an increase in American
consumers equal to per cent of our
population would absorb the whole pro-
ducton of American farms. Five millions
of consumers added to our population
would make the American farmer indie
pendent of foreign markets; ii would
emancipate him from the relentless agri-
| cultural depression which extends through
out the civilized world.
"a plan which will accomplish this re-
| suit has been devised and its name is re-
ciprocity We owe its conception to the
wisdom and foresight of that peerless
statesman, James G. Blaine For its prac-
tical application we are indebted to the
administration of Benjamin Harrison. II
reciprocity is to attain to its full stature;
If we are to realize all otats benefcent
possibilities it will be through the con
tinuation of Benjamin Harrison's rule.
However farmers may differ on the
doctrine of protective tariff they can GER
tainly unite upon the doctrine that such
commodities as do not compete with ou
own industries should be admitted TO oui
markets free of duty. No protectionisi
win controvert this proposition, and nC
free trader can.
''Ihe adjustment of federal taxation in
way to encourage and protect our own
industries; tariff on the productions o
those nations whose industries compet,
with our own and reciprocity with non
competing nations is destined to become
the salvation of American agriculture
at is within the power oi our govern
ment to inaugurate policy which vii
lead to the expectation of the output o
our manufactures and the home con
sumption Of the product of our farms

Infl!cts Fatal Injuries Upon Two Relatives
nt Candor, Pa.
BURGETTsTowN, Pa, Oct. IA bloody
affair occurred early yesterday morning
at Candor, a village near here. About
two weeks ago Israel Rtchey, in a quar-
rel with his son-in-law, John Wright, hit
the latter in the face. Wright had Rit-
chey arrested and fined, and since then
bad blood has existed between them.
Wednesday night Wright was at a
dance at Ritchey's house. Ritchey re-
newed the quarrel, and he and his sou
Dave drove Wright from the house an d
followed him to his own home, whic b
Wright entered and locked the door,
The Ritcheys broke open the door and
commenced to abuse Wright, whereupo n
he struck the elder Ritchey with the ham.
mer end Of the hatchet, inflicting a fatal
blow. Wright then struck young Ritchey
a glancing blow with the sharp end of the
hatchet that laid almost the entire side of
his head bare. The wound is fatal.
