"A UNITED PARTY.
|TF1R STATE CENTRAL CON-
NTTTEES REACH AN
AGREEMENT.
THE TWO TICKETS TO BE
SUBMITTED TO WHITE
PRIMARIES.
THE ELECTION TO TAKE
PLACE MARCH 22D.

After working an entire week,
the McEneey and foster State Cen
trail Committees finally agreed upon
. settlement, whereby there will be
hut one Democratic ticket in the
field at the coming election. The
two tickets will be voted on at a
primary election Of the white Dem-
ocratic voters Of the State, to be
held on the 22d day Of March. 1892
throughout the State. and the ticket
receiving the largest number Of
votes will be declared the ticket of
the Democratic party.
The McEnery committee adopt
ed and ratified the adjustment on
Friday nis hit, when it was submit
ted to 1t, but the Foster committee
did not indorse the conierees' ac-
ton until almost 3 O'Clock last Sat-
urday night, after some thirteen
hours Of discussion thereon. For .
time it looked IS il the Fosterites
would not accept the proposition.
The city contingent Of that party
it in it, entirety, but when
it became evident that the country
members were in the majority, and
would adopt it, these radical meme
beers were compelled to submit,
and the matter was adopted.
The compromise calls for a con-
mittee OF seven to supervise the
primary election, three members
from each side and the fourth to he
selected by the six members. Col.
John S. Young has been selected
rs the seventh man, chairman. The
AcEnery faction selected Col.

PEOPLES PARTY STAND.
POINT.

The Comrode. . weekly paper
published At Winfield, Louisiana,
which i the organ Of the Peoples
Party in this State, has published
1t considerable length IN article
giving comparative statements Of
the Whitney National and the New
Orleans National Banks.
According to the figures Of the
Comradt, the Whitney National
Bank, after an existence Of eight
years, has increased its capital
from $500, 900 to sSlS, 900, and
earns for it's stockholders 1882 600
annually. The figures u the New
Orleans National Bank show that it
began business twenty years ago
with 500, 600, has increased its
capital to s962 600, aud earns for
its stockholders SEQ, 600 annually.
This party organ declares that .
powerful Railroad Company started
and backed the former, and the
Louisiana Lottery the latter. That
the former is supporting Foster for
Governor. and the latter the McEn-
cry ticket. The former has .
United States Senator as its coun-
sci, and has the ear Of the present
Governor. and wants the Governor
in the coming election.
The inference is very strongly
drawn BY the Comrade that while
lottery patronage has helped to
swell the volume of money in the
New Orleans National Bank, the
farmers Of Louisiana have paid .
rich. and to them destructive, trib-
ute to the Whitney Bank.
The Comrade discovers evil in
both, and finds . prepondcrance in
the Whitney National. which Is
contributing SO largely to the Fos-
ter campaign fund.
The Comrods says: "Foster, in
Inns platform, says, "A single OBJ
struction now stands in the way Of
the progress Of the State-the lot
terry amendment Are you SUR
prised that this hank wishes to d.
vert the attention Of the voters from
its boarded millions?''
Since the lottery question is now
removed from Louisiana politics,
there remains no good reason why
the farmer should refuse to vote for
McEnery and the regular Demo-
cratic ticket. Such Ut their de-
mands as are just and reasonable
will surely receive prompt and con-
siderate attention. They are not
altogether wrong in their profession
of faith, and should come into the
counsels Of the Democratic party
and urge their claims. This is far
better than trusting to the eventual
success Of . third party, which
must be years in completing the
machinery Of its movements.

EDITOR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:
Your correspondent has been un-
der the weather, the same IS other
mortals, and has experienced the
tender caresses of Queen La Grippe.
Although our rice farmers are
denoralized by the rice monopoly.
many of them have already started
the pillow. We must praise them.
because the crisis they are going
through now is very precarious and
is enough to discourage anyone,
hut as the old Irishman says,
'snever throw the helve after the
Ratchet. 1t is to be hoped that
things will turn up to better advan-
tage, and enable them to proceed
with the raising of that grain which
some time ago was a source Of
wealth to the parish. As most Of
these planters have good imple-
ments to work with, such as pony
plows, disk harrows, rice drillers,
etc., they can plant a great deal
more land at less expense than
heretofore, and make their profit in
the increased quantity raised with
less time and labor.
Truck farming is also progress
ing. A large quantity Of Irish
potatoes have been planted, and il
the season is favorable, there ought
to be an immense yield, and also Of
sweet peas.
II we have no more frost there
will be . fine crop Of fruit here.
The trees are looking fine and give
promise of an abundant yield.
Pears especially thrive well in this
soil. On the Lesassier place there
are some LIE Conte pear trees about
five years old which averaged last
year three-quarters Of . barrel. 1t
was beautiful sight to see those
trees they were loaded down With
large ripe pears.
Strangers don't seem to know
that our little place exists, but if all
it's advantages were known, there
would be money in . fine hotel.
There is no better site for . sum-
mer and winter resort than this.
Near the Lake, right on the river

ANOTHER SPECIFIC FOR GRIrrE.

DIR. Leslie A. Kelley. of biohlo-
ride Of gold fame, declares that an
infsllible cure for the grippe is
asafoetida. Four doses . day, Of
Is grains each, he says, will work
an Invaluable cure, no matter how
far the disease has progressed.
AsafOetida, he maintains, Is as sb
solutely q specific for grippe as
quinine is for aguc.
In all cases it is doubtless better
to consult your physician, as soon
as you find that yon are being
gripped.

Betting is generally considered
- being . safe indication Of the
drift Of public opinion m elections.
Since the compromise several sport

offering to wager large sums On Nc
Emery. Foster men with money
and confidence in their candidate
have been hard to find.

HOW TO SUCCEED.

This is the great problem of life
which few satisfactorily solve. Some
fail because Of poor health, Others
want of luck, but the majority from
deficient grit-want of nerve. They
are nervous, irresolute, changeable,
easily get the blues and "take the
spirits down to keep the spirits up, ;"
thus wasting money, time, opportu-
nifty and nerve force. There is moth
ing like the Restorative Neryine, dis
covered by the great specialist, DR.
Miles, to cure all nervous diseases, as
headache, the blues, nervous prostra-
ton, sleeplessness, neuralgia, St
Vitus dance, fits, and hySteria, Trial

4 FATAL, MISTAK F.

Physicians make no more fatal mis-
take than when they inform patients
that nervous heart troubles come
from the stomach and are of little
consequence. DIR. Franklin Miles,
the noted Indiana specialist, has pro
ven the contrary in his new book on
"Heart Disease" which may be had
free at Henry Hinrichs' Drugstore,
who guarantees and recommends DR..
Miles unequaled New Heart Cure,
which has the largest sale ofanyheart
remedy in the world. 1t cures ner-
vous and organic heart disease, short
breath, tluttering, pain or tenderness
in the side, arm or shoulder, irregu
lar pulse, fainting, smothering. drop
