The DEMOCRAT beSs to remind oul
merchants, planters and business men
:, throughout the parish that it is prcpar-
ed to fill out any order for bill heads,
note heads, letter heads, bread and 9TH

in the job printing line, at short notice
and at fair and reasonable prices. Our
facilities for turning out neat and cheap
job work are unsurpassed and people
requiring anytlliag in that line will but
consult their owm interests in giving us

bargains they can make. Give US a

number of new members were admitted
into the Press Association at Alexandria with
out being required to pay any initiation fec.
II this thing goes on the next move Will be to
present members with a chrOlnO.-St.
Landry DEMOCRAT.
When you speak OF the whole you include
every member OF the whole. and the above is IL
reflection upOn the two editors and publisher
OF the Democrat who rlankcd down their 500
Il head to JON your honorable body. If your
secretary Is so dcrclict i'll his duty as to admit
people free fire him. Such reflection should
not be cast upon ALL the new members, and
especially those wlio tocd the mark and paid
their dues-Louisiana Democrat
Our Alexandria friend misapprchends
our'meaning. No reflection was cast or
attempted to be cast upon any of the
new members nor upon the Secretary.
We said precisely what we meant, viz.
that new members were admitted with
out paying amy initiation fee; it being
sociation had abolished such fees and
had iaised the yearly dues from all
members TO So O0-though we do not re-
call the circumstance, and do not re-
member that any mention of the fact
was made in the minutes of that meet
ing. However, at Alexandria, the new
members paid Ss.oOfor dues, the same
as old members, buG paid no initiation
lee. The old members paid initiation
ices ranging from IS 90 TO 81 90, and
we think that new members should pay
fee Ut atlcast - 80, instead of being
admitted free-as they were at Atexan-
dlia. Ii admission into our Assuciation
il not worth that much, particularly
now that it is established upon a firm
aud enduring basis, we will soon have
TO offer chrome to induce members to
ioin it. But, then, newspaper men ale
famous for cheapenlng their own
wares"

The n. @. Times Democrat of the 35tll
has the following:
Mr.. Laurent Duplc, candidate for Con-
gress in the sixth district, arrived here
Yesterday en- route to TaugipahOa. Mr..
Duprc, in conversation with a represent
ative Of the Times Democrat, said he
believed he could count on the parishes
Of st. Landry and Acadia to support
him, with twenty-fOur votes. Thirty
nine were necessary to a choice. He
had Just come from st. Tammany,
where he felt encouraged by the out
look and expected to go to the conven-
ton as strong as any OF the other can
didates. Mr.. Duprc also visited East
Feliciana and East and West Baton
Rouge. After returning home he will
remain for a few days and will then
leave for "a canvass in other parishes.
Mr.. DuprG said he found a healthy
sentiment in the Florida parishes
against third party, and said there
seemed to be feeling to settle the diff
ferences of the party within its ranks.
In St. Landry and Acadia he felt salts
fed the Alliance would stand in the
Democratic party. IT they were strong
enough they would, of course, name the
man.
Congressman Boatner is quoted in the
same paper as saying:
cit was my intention until short
time ago not to be a candidate for Con-
gress in the fifth district. | feared at
that time that my candidacy might re-
vive some of the animoslty which pre-
vailed during the last campaign and
might prove an obstacle in the way of
restoring harmony, which is essential to
party success. Before my return home,
however, | received assurances from a
number of prominent supporters of Gov.
Foster in tho late election, that they
strongly desired me to succeed myself,
and found that tho unanimous wish of
that element OF the party which sup
ported Justice McEnery was that
should be Il candidate. Under these cir
cumstances | reconsidercd my determi
nation and agreed to submit my name
to Il Democratic convention, with the
understanding that it was to be a Dem
oeratic convcntiOn.'

OREGON's SHOWING
AT CHICAGO
NEXT YEAR

Remains in doubt, but there
is no question about the
PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL Ex-
Pos1TIoN-which opens Sep
tember 21st and closes October
22d, being the best Exposition
ever held on the Pacific Coast.
So far as Oregon is concerned
1t will be the forerunner of the
Exposition at Chicago in
1898. The principal attrac-
tions are the magnificent
American Band of Providence,
r. I. An art collection
valued at $35O,OOO, and en-
bracing some of the greatest
pictures owned in the United
States. Immense Horticult-
ural and Agricultural exhibits,
the result of the combined
efforts of almost every county
In the state. A mineral eX-
hibit exceeding all former
years. A Stock Department
showing tremendous progress.
To these are added a larger
number of exhibits than ever
before; including a magnifi-
cent electrical display under
the combined Thomson-Hous-
ton and Edison Companies.
All manufactures in full oper-
alton. Government models
of Battle Ships. The wonder
full Hall of Mystery. The
marvellous Little World" the
product Of a mechanical
genius; all inte1spersed by
novelties incident to the pop
ular special days. Every
thing new and nothing dead.
Greatly reduced rates on all
transportation lines.

Drownins Half a Continent.

When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed a great cry went up that such
ssditch" would endanger the lives of mil
lions of human beings. 1t was argued
that the waters on the Pacific side of the
isthn,us were hundreds of feet higher
than they were on the Atlantic side. and
that the great rush of waters to even up
the difference in the level Of the two
oceans would drown out all southern
North America, all the West Indies and
most of Mexico and Yucatan. Would
be engineers and sensational editors
passed their opinions or wrote yards OF
scare editorials on the subject. 1t now
turns out that the Atlantic and not the
Pacific is the higher Of the two oceans.
and that in place of the difference IN
level being hundreds of feet, as had been
affirmed. the surface of the water ON the
east side of the isthmus is exactly 61ss
feet higher than it is. on the western
side.-St. Louis Republic.

There is n good deal of lump jaw beef
put on the market. The ranchmen do not
sell the article at all, always slaughtering
any cattle suffering in this way. Person
ally, think the lump jaw meat is un
healthy, and ut the same time know there
is good deal of it shipped to all cities
The lump comes from IL bruise of some
kind, and the bruise is produced in various
ways. 1t is the result of the handling by
the cowboys. Indeed it is not only bruis.S
from which the animals on the plains suf-
fer. They also suffer from loss of horns. !
have seen pair OF horns fly from COW a
distance Of fifty yards IL is easy to llnocl;
the horns of. They will fly if you throw
any animal down in IA peculiar way, and
that way is the one in which the cowboys
always do it.
OF course it is necessary to throw the
cattle down when the branding has to be
done. Then ut times one runs away and
has to be lassoed, and in this way is thrown
sometimes with results that spoil the ap.
pearance Of an animal, if it does not per
manently injure it. 1t is easy enough, too,
to get rid of the lump, SO easy that it eau
be done by any man who can handle file.

Cold Weather Generally.

Chicago, Ills, Jan. 9.-The pres
ent cold snap covers an unusual
stretch of territory. 1t reaches as far
north as the signal service is estab-
lished, extends southwark to the gulf
of Mexico, from the Rocky mountains
almost to the Atlantic coast. The
temperature is below zero from Illi-
nois and Wisconsin northwestward
the lowest reported being 80 degrees
below at White River, Canada. This
low temperature as predicted by the
signal service will continue over the
present area during the next "a hours.
In Chicago it is colder than at any
previous time this winter. The signal
service thermometer registered de-
grees below last night and an equally
low figure is looked for tonight. The
sky is clear and the wind light so out
door exercises is attended by COM
paratively little discomfort.

Special to The Statesman.
YoAKUM, Tex, Jan. THE strik-
ers are happy. A rousing meeting
has just adjourned at which fifteen Of
the men brought here to work on the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass threw
their lot in with, the strikers. Among
the number were three engineers,
The hall was crowded to overflow
ing with railroad men and citizens.
Speeches were made by leading
strikers, Judge Montgomery, prom
inent merchants, and the converted
scabs. These latter said that
they had been misled by
the company and came to
Yoakum fully believing there was no
strike. They say that the other men
now at work will follow their ex-
ample, and would have done SO before
only that they were terrorized
by the officers on one hand
and were afraid of their lives from the
strikers on the other. Now that a
break has been made there is no doubt
but what even Costello and his
negroes will also quit.
One of the ex-scabs had a starving
family in Missouri. A collection was
made among the strikers and the
amount forwarded to them. These
men have been provided by the strik-
ers with comfortable homes.
