GENERAL ITEMS.
All forms Of legitimate business
are and ought to he encouraged
by the State. The fact that, even
in States which DO not favor abso-
lutte prohibition, the whisky traffic
is hedged about with restrictions,
is a proof that it is regarded as an
enemy to society. 1t lives by sui
ferance. That it should be per
manently tolerated is an impossl-
bility. Advancing civilization is
sure to wipe it out of existence.
We pray for the coming OF the
day when this result shall be
reached, and we grieve that it has
so long been delayed. The souls
of men are in the crucible, and we
grudge the wasting consumption"
Nashville Christian Advocate.
Our prayer is in accords with
yours, brother. And may that day
which you speak of be even now
tinting the east with It's approach

Vidotte of Alexandria, La, has be-
gun the publication of news
paper at Robeline, the first issue
of which was receivd by The Proc
REss. Ii is called the Battle Flag,
and its editor promises to never
strike its ensign until the people
secure their rights and plutocracy
and kindred influences have been
related to the shades of retire
ment. Mr.. Tets is a bold, fair and
trenchant writer, and the cause of
honest and economical govern
ments note his advent on the field
of battle with great pleasure, re-
cognizing an able champion in him
and the Battle Flag.
The greater part of our misfor-
tunes are brought on by neglecting
the chances that yesterday gave
us: we put off till tomorrow
what we should have done to-day,
and necessarily make sacrifices
that we ultimately regrets How
many there are who cry out in
their agony of spirit, 20, if L had
only known yesterday, how diff
ferent it would have been!'-Ex.
By grave oversight in drawing
the charter, the city OF Lake Charles
La, may be placed in a danger
GUS p1edicament. This instrument
makes it necessary for the mayor
to preside at all meetings of the
town council and makes no pro
vision for his place to be tempo
porarily supplied in case of dis
ability or any other cause. Against
this defect the Echo of that city
has raised its voice and declares it
will neither vote for nor support
any man for mayor or councilman
who will not pledge himself to
remedy this evil.
The Echo is certainly correct in
this.
The following paragraphs are
from the Lake Charles Echo:
| Magnolias are in bloom and the
woods along the banks of the Cal
casieu look like vast cotton field,
so numerous are these beautiful
and sweet blossoms.
