Now, let Us look into this argument.

be open for inspection as teacher, etc.
On this line we respectfully submit to
all fair minded people the declaration
/ that no one whose sense Of refinement
is sufficiently elevated to appreciate
fine arts, etc, will crowd bar-rooms and
become such patrons Of these immoral
places. This class Of people are always
glad of any measure which will open
all places Of iniquity and put down all
efforts to close them.
In conclusion, in the name of decency
common sense and fair dealing, close
the gates on the Sabbath and keep the
name of our nation free from the as
saults of the immoral cohorts and the
class who cast odium on things sacred
and attempt to pull down the temple Of

THE REAL FUNNY SIDE OF IT.

Our christian friend, the Advocate,
affects to have found something fun
nv in the action of the five editors at
Alexandria, and the article in Thurs
days issue on that subject reminds
us very much of the little boy who
got very nervous and sick at his
stomach when he was called upon by
his mother to take a dose of OIL
Said he, "mama, L know it is very
nice and | have been thinking about
it so long; but mama don't you think
if we'd leave it for uncle Jake to
grease his boots with it would do as
welli" That's Just what our neigh
Dor wants done with the election law
purgative proposed by the five editors
who met at Alexandria. 1t wants the
constitutional commission, to be ap-
pointed by his excellency, to grease
their boots with it. Well, now, since
we have come to think about it, we'd
prefer that the members of the legis-
islature should handle this election
law question because they will be held
responsible for their acts blythe peo-
pie. The present election machinery
is the only authority to whom the
present executive owes responsibility.
and we do not believe that he is the
kind of a politician who is likely to go
back on friend that has Herculean
leverage. The people of the State
regard this question in the same way,
and that is why nucleus for future
fight for this and other necessary re
forms was formed at Alexandria.
Another thing that makes the Advo-
Gates article look exceedingly absurd,
is the fact that it suggests the idea of
embodying a whole election law in
the constitution of the State-Neither
the commission nor any one else will
have the remotest idea of doing a
thing like that. The legislature is
the proper authority to act on that
question, and the people are going to
demand that they do it, and in a
manner too prevent repetition of
such farce was enacted in Louisiana

THE STUFFED OSTRICH.

1t is a matter of history that the
ostrich, one of the most ungainly and
imbecile Of fowls. after having drawn
attention to itself by some idiotic act
of its own, attempts to evade capture
by hiding its weak head behind some
small brush or tuft Of grass and is
contented with its position, its dull
brain beng incapable Of discerning
that its ungainly body lies in plain
view, subject to the attacl, of the pur
suers.
This simple bird has been well aped
by its journalistic cousin the Shreve-
port Times, on the question of the
Editorial Immigration Convention to
be held in Shreveport on 18th inst.
Having without reason, justification
or excuse attempted to ridicule the
movement. it seeks to avoid a Just
castigation by hiding behind so small
a fragment as the charge that 1T is
quite characteristic OF our neighbor
to waive the merits OF any argument,
or representation, and Justify his
questionable positions by vitupera-
ton and abuse" etc. and calls in a
noisy and di-cOntpnted jackdaw TO
build its little fortress. Argument
indeed. Was there any in the Times
article, or either of them? Argument
forsooth. that journal wo1ld not
know one if it was mot in the streets.
and even if properly labelled in plain
English, it would be but to draw its
to a profound mystery.
1t likewise strikes an attitude of
panied and injured innocence aud
throws itself on the mercy Of the
court-the publicity whining forth
this. 1T is quite the common and
expected thing for The PRoGREss to
breathe forth its propaganda against
the Times thereby practicing both
and hypocrisy. Since when
has the Times been the object Of at
lacks from Us? Surely not recently, |
at any rate, for however we may have !
deceived ourselves in the long ago

having such an opponent in a contro-

COUNT US IN.

Put The PRoGREss down as an out

ruined by the onslaught of the mighty

of perfectly safe levees, will also
speak out in favor OF the outlet the
