PARIS, May 2.-The ministry. received
a rebuff in the deputies today. Yves
Guyot moved urgency for motion in
favor of the abolition of the octroi du-
ties. Notwithstanding the fact that Du-
puy, the premier, opposed the motion,
it carried by vote of 252 to 246. Before
the deputies assembled it was known
that the government would be
nterpellated as to the arrest
OF Deputy Eugene Baudin at
the Place de Ia Republique yesterday.
The debate which followed the interpret
lation was exceptionally animated.
Premier Dupuy said the government sc-
cepted the full responsibility for the
arrest, and the ministers were deter
mined to maintain order and punish
meters of disorder, whoever they might
be. He demanded the order of the day,
which carried by vote OF $40 to 130.

Let us be Sensible.
Mansfield Democrat-Journal.I

While numbers of us as Demo-
Gratis have been disappointed at the
action of the majority of our men,
of congress, we must not weaken in
our allegiance to democracy nor
falter in our duty to our party. The
dissensions existing among Demo-
Gratis on the financial question will
most probably be of short duration.
The administration must be given
a chance. It may evolve a fnan-
cial problem that will prove salts
factory and restore quiet to the
country. There has not yet been
time for the President to more than
formulate his policy. He profess
ses to be anxious to carry out the
principles of the party, and he is
seconded by his cabinet and many
Of the leading Democrats in Con-
gress. Nearly all of the latter pro-
fess to be bi-metalists. Certainly
they are too sensible, too patriotic,
and too devoted to the principles of
their party to destroy silver as a
coin and will enact Legislation that
will probably prove to be good
substitute for free coinage. At any
rate, now is not the time to kick.
The tariff issue is the most impor-
tant of those that will engage the
attention of Congress at its next
session. The Republicans will
make a desperate effort to prevent
reform on this line. The Demo-
Gratis will force the issue and a
hard fight will be the result The
President and Democrats in Con-
gress are united on this question,
and to be entirely successful they
must have a united party at their
backs. The moral effect of such
action Oh the part of Democrats
will go a long way to further con-
vince the Republicans that the
Democratic party will not go to
pieces over one issue. 1t is said
to be the purpose of the admins
to make record by which it alone
can be judged. 1t was born in a
storm that has just subsidized and
no time has been found to inaug-
urate new doctrines. Mr.. Cleve-
land is man of surprises. AS we
cannot cure what has been done,
we will have TO endure it for a
while, at least and make the best
of the situation. Let us be sensible.

APair of Them.

The Shreveport Progress, in re-
joinder to one of our squibs, makes
the remark it is mot quite ready
to ride out of the Democratic party
on Cleveland's ass" whereat the
Alexandria Town Talk, gleefully
asks to shake hands with the Prog
ress for being able to SO beautiful
ly and artistically "size up the stu
alton better than it could have ut
tered it" This consequential mas
qurading of our two conferes re-
minds us very forcibly of the ami
NAL who once tried to initiate the
King of the forests. In their criti-
cisms of Mr.. Cleveland they don
the lions skin, and, by protesting
undying love for Democracy, have
in a measure concealed their big
ears while they proceed to knife the
party, but In opening their mouths
theyhave literally "put their foot in
it." Their little game might have
passed if they had only kept their
mouths shut. It was the braying of
the fool ass that gave him away.
We have seen Mr.. Cleveland
damned before this, and have lived
to see the very men who condemned
him throw up their hats in his
praise. He is a man of conviction
and principle, as we'll as brains and
backbone. He has been trusted by
the people of this country with the
administration of affairs for four
years, and, by the holy smoker, we
propose to ride upon the same
jackass with him as long as we
have a reasonable hope in his in
tegrity. Jump up, boys; you don't
know how much fun it is to ride a
bucklng mule. It beats masquer-
aiding all to pieces!

An Unwarrauted G calculation.


The New Orleans newspapers
every week publish glowing ac-
counts about the immense receipts
of cotton this year, as compared
with those of last year, and on the
strength of these figures is based
the calculation of large Louisi-
ana crop. There never was more
mistaken estimate of the crop than
our New Orleans friends are maxi
ing. There is undisputed evidence
that the crops have matured fully
twenty days earlier this year than
in the average season. Only sixty
per cent of an average crop has
been made throughout the State.
and fully two-thirds of the crop
is now in the city. Here III Grant
parish the figures are even closer
than this. Fully ninety per cent
of our crop is picked and ginned,
and the greater portion of it has
been shipped. The jubilant specu-
lators in the fleecy staple can look
for a wonderful decrease in receipts
from now on, and base their calcu-
lations accordingly.
