He Must Advertise,

A man may chin,
And a man may grin,
From early break OF day;
But he can't build up town
BY running it down,
Because it amt built that way.
And a man may guy,
And man may lie,
And a man may puff aud blow;
But he can't get trade
BY sitting in the shade,
Waiting for business to grow.

The rice market has just begun to awaken to
Its new business activity, as some small lots of
new crop rice have Just been received, and
were sold at fancy prices. But little is doing
in old stocks, which have grown small. From
present indications Calcasieu will come to the
front with large crop, but the recent heavy
rains have cut down last months expectations

There is nothing of greater impor-
lance to intelligent and respectable
young people than a thorough knowl-
edge of the methods OF conducting pub
lie deIiberative assemblies Without
this meeting may easily become bear
garden and little better than den of
wild beasts. A knowledge of rules of
order and acknowledged methods of
procedure can scarcely be estimated too
highly, especially in a country where
the humblest and poorest may at any
time be called by popular vote to be-
come representatives in parliament,
church, court, or in councils and assem-
blies for any purposes of public good.
The constitutions of our friendly socie-
ties, when carefully examined, will be
found to furnish evidence of methodi-
cal arrangement and deep knowledge
and to be established upon the basis of
true constitutional law. The members,
therefore, who become familiar with
the constitution and who post them
selves on rules of order will be DOS
sessed of sufficient knowledge to proceed
in any deliberative assembly. This
school improves the character and quail
ity of citizenship and becomes valua-
BILE integer in the nations progress.
Some Of those people who take oppo-
sitiOn to secret societies should consider
carefully this important function Of such
organizations. In fact, these are about
the only schools of the kind we have.
The temperance societies and others,
whose doors are not open to the general
public should have the credit of prepar-
ing many of our best members of parlia-
ment with a fitness to understand
duties and also the rights
and obligations of a person Oh the floor
of the house.-H. G.. Leader.

The Pension Outrage.
Times-Dcmocrat, June 20.

Times Democrat, June 90
The Senate has added S11,9t2,S24 to
the House pension appropriation bill,
bringing the total up to SAG, 727,GlO;
but even this large sum is below the es~
Inmates of the Pension Bureau. An
other year will see the total apDropria
ton far above the S150,000,000 figure.
Already an increase of 1877 per cent has
occurred in six years. II it continues
at this rate-and we see no reason to
doubt that it will if the Republicans
continue in power-the pensions will
amount to 1896, 100000 by 1898, and be
well beyond the $5O0,O00,000 limit at the
end of a decade.
These figures may sound absurd to
some, but they are no more absurd than
ago. When in 1875 we had 243S21 pen
siOners Oh the rolls and were paying
them $29, 683,11G annually in the way
of pensions, it seemed an immense sum.
We thought every soldier provided for
then, and could not imagine any in
crease of the pension bill. In 1885,
whey the number of pensioners had
grown to 345,125 and the total appro-
priatiOn to S65,693,706, we were quite
certain that the end was reached. But
the returns of 1891 showed us our error,
for the pensioners had increased 10y
that time to G76,160, and the pensions
to $11S,54S,959. To-day they are S146,-
737, $50 and still growing. The Repub-
lican robbers who are getting the offices
through this open bribery of tue soldier
vote boast of it as highly honorable.
Assistant Secretary Bussey thinks it
greatly to the credit of the United
States that it should give five times as
much in pensions as the rest of the
world combined. Other countries have
had wars as serious as ours have larger
armies always on duty, yet they figure
very little compared with the United
States, when pensions means votes.
So The combined pension rolls of all
those countries" says Mr. Bussey, re-
ferring to England, France, Germany,
Austria, Italy, Russia, ct al, "cost an
nually only $31 ,002, 1907 or little more
than one-fifth of what we are to pay in
1898. These facts emphasized" he
adds, " the patriotic regard in which are
held the disabled veterans
They emphasiZe,' Oh the contrary,
the fact that the Republican party de-
and buys that with pensions; and that
the Northern Democrats are SO afraid |
that they will lose what few veterans
they have that they dare not oppose the
most sCandalOus pension legislation of |
their opponents. And thus the raid on
the treasury continues from year to
year and is likely to continue until the
people grow disgusted and rise in indig-
nation against the most barefaced and
bribery on record.

A man who has a well deserved repu-

If any one had comments on friends

reserved for teatime. Then perfect
freedom Of expression was allowed; but
it was well understood that the purpose
Of the talk was to find good points in
those under discussion and to throw as
thick veil OF charity as possible over
their faults and failings.
1t was surprising to see how speedily
the person who made Al unfavorable
criticism was routed by the storm Of
contrasting statements which ratified

made light of, but some good was sure
to be found and mentioned.
wasn't there some danger of incul-
eating fattery and insincerity" inquired
the listener whose first question had
called forth these facts.
II hardly think So" replied the other
with somewhat quizzical expression.

fattery is seldom wasted on the absent,
and insincerity has slight hold in a
spirited family discussion" - Youths

HUFF CART WIN.
An Indiana County Editor Tells OF tn
Conversational Conference

An Indiana County Editor Tells OF the
Congressional Conference.
Frank SAMSON, editor of the Indiana,
Pa, Democrat, was in Pittsburg yesterday
in consultation with political friends. Mr..
SAMSON is one of the conspicuous politicians
of his county. He says the Congressional
and Senatorial conferences in his district
are just now attracting the undivided at
tention of the politicians of Indiana, Arm
strong, Jefferson and Westmoreland coun-
ties
Personally would not object to the
nom ination of Huff, of Westmoreland
county," Mr.. SAMSON said. 'The district
is about 1000 Republican, but Huff only
carried it by about !, 100 majority when he
was elected two years ago. He is not as
strong now as he was then, because he has
done nothing in Congress In o campaign
of eight days the Democratic candidate
carried Huf's own county, and
we are confident if he is again
nominated we can beat him. Indiana and
Armstrong counties will stay to the end of
the road in their opposition to Huff, and 1
am willing to stake my reputation that Huff
will not be nominated"
It was asserted yesterday by a Westmore-
land county Republican that Judge Harry
White, of Indiana county, will likely be
the compromise candidate tor Congress in
the Twenty first district
