DIVINE SYMPATHIZER.

Oh! bless God that amid all the in- justice that may have been inflicted upon us in this world we have 8 divine sym pathizer. The world cannot lie about you nor abuse you as much as they did Christ, and Jesus stands today in every courtroom, in every house, in every store, and says: Courage! By all my hours of maltreatment and abuse, 1 will protect those who are trampled upon" And when Christ forgets that two o'clock morning scene, and the stroke of the ruffian on the mouth, and the bowling of the unwashed crowd, then he will forget you and me i'll the injustices of life that may be inflicted upon us.
 Further, remark: The last great in- stallment paid for our redemption was the demise of Christ. The world has seen many dark days. Many summers ago there was a very dark day, when the sun was eclipsed. The fowl at noon- day went to their perch, and we felt gloom as we looked at the astronomical wonder. It was dark day in London when the plague was at its height ,and the dead with uncovered faces were taken in open carts and dumped in the trenches. It was dark day when the earth opened and Lisbon sank; but the darkest day since the creation of the world was when the carnage of Calvary was enacted.
 It was about noon when the curtain began to be drawn. It was not the com ing on of night that soothes and re- freshes: it was the swinging of a great gloom all around the heavens. God hung it. AS when there is a dead one in the house you bow the shutters or turn the lattice, so God in the afternoon shut the windows of the world. As it is appropriate to throw black pail uponthe coffin as it passes along, so it was appro- priate that everything should be somber that day as the great hearse of the garth tnl1Ad an taAS4us tisa eofpss q faHn tn

OuR BIG ISSUE?

No, this is not our big issue. We

Immediately know their mistake, be-
cause the present city administration
has never yet committed an error,
though it has performed acts which
threw the entire couDtry into bewll-
derment and put the people to won
dering how could such things be.
As a further evidence that the
State, as far as her laws have been
administered in Caddo parish is con-
cerned, has been previously usurping
authority which belonged exclusively
to Shreveport's mayor. we are told
that his honor rose to the dignity OF
his position again Wednesday morn

of the crime related to the vigilaut
officer, who, as was right and proper
in cases of larceny, carried the cul-
prit to the police station, and on be-
ing arraigned before Mayor Vinson
the following morning was ordered
released and out of town, on his re-
funding the money stolen.
Shame on you, Judges Looney,
Boarman, Taylor, Jones and Hicks,
and you, District Attorneys Wise,
Slattery, Shepherd and Land, that
you have so misguided the justices of
of the peace and constables of Caddo
parish, and led them, by your false
teaching, to commit usurpation in
office by handling cases which, not
the State, but the mayor only, had
jurisdiction over.
Oh, shades of Ashton and Grain,
how respondent and gloomy they be-
come when the people realize now
how badly they were deceived in
your ability, which Lit was once the r
