Old Democrat Twisted.

MT. Zion. La, Aug. Is. 1888.
Editer Collar Chronicle:
We noticed communication in your
paper of August 5th, signed by odd Dem
Ocrat," which we feel it our duty TO re-
ply to, not as Peoples party, but as citi-
1ens Of Mt. Zion and friends to justice.
We wish first to exhonerate the good DEM
ocrats OF Montgomery, for we do not be-
lieve that they approve OF such gross mis-
representations as Old Democrat made.
Old Democrat, though he may be large
in stature, is certainly little narrow con-
tracted fellow, from the fact that on that
occasion his narrow vision contracted
three objects in one. as he stated that there
was only 150 persons present, and we have
carefully estimated the crow to DO 400 OF
500. Old Democrat stated that ~ OF
this number was ladies, IS Democrats, 1S
Peoples Party, and the remainder chill
dren, negroes and dogs"
In reply to this part OF the statement
we will have to divide the crowd differ.
emily from Old Democrat, as above stat
ed. We think fair estimate OF the
crowd was 400 or 500. We don't think
there was more than % or 80 Democrats
present, and we know they were heartily
welcomed. We also feel satisfied that
nine-tenths of the assembly was Peoples
party.
Now, Mr.. Editor, We wish in conclu
sion 10 take up Old Democrats division
of the number present. Any school boz
who knows anything about fraction!
knows that only leaves 5-24 of 15O to rep
resent the children, negroes and dogs
Nov We know there were or negroes

The killing of H. Il. Butler.


AS great many persons have
taken interest in the late homicide
that created so mSch feeling in our
neighboring parish of Winn, and
as some censure has been expressed
toward Judge Wear and District
Attorney Milling for the discharge
of A. L. Martin, accused of the
murder, we publish the report of
the grand jury that investigated
the matter, from which it will be
seen that full legal proceedings
were had. and all the forms of law
complied with, and there was no
alternative but to release the pris-
oner:
GRAND JURY REPORT.

cial district. holding session in and for VIM

Your grand jury drawn to serve ct the
present sitting OF your honorable court

The Winn Parish Comrade re-
plies to one of our squibs as to why
it failed to tell the people that
court was in session and what was
done, by saying: "We never did
like to bore q people by telling
them something that we we're
thoroughly aware that they already
knew" This Is certainly brand
new idea of journalism i'll America,
where the court news is considered
not only of interest to jurors, law
yers and litigants, but to every wide
awake and patriotic citizen in the
land. The editor of the Comrade
seems to avoid telling the people
what he does know, preferring to
bore them with vapid utterings
about "free silver" ''monometal-
ism" and "intrinsic values" about
which he knows nothing, and about
which men of mind differ widely,
when everybody knows he barely
understands how to transfer a Bit
of negotiable paper, to say nothing
of handling bank exchange.

They have during their investigation
examined So cases and return herewitu
26 true bills, most of which are for minor
offensee. Thre are few cases that they
have not been able to examine for me
reason that the witnesses failed to at
tend, and these they have left to be in
vestigated by the next grand Jury or re-
quested the district attorney to file infor-
nations in same.
While few offenses of very high char.
actors have been committed in the past
six months, from our Investigations we
do not think that crime is materially on
the increase.
We have examined the old rickety barn
known as the court house, and find that
it is disgrace to a civilized country to
be willing to put up with such structure
in which to hold up the majesty OF the
law. The old concern is so very uncom-
Portable that it is almost criminal TO forco
the officers of the court and jurors to use
such building in the administration OF
justice.
We call specinl attention also to the
two little "goods boxes" known as tho
jury rooms, in which person will freeze
in winter and be almost suffOcated from
heat in the summer. Cracks in the floor
make it impossible to keep warm in win
ter, and it is only through kindness OF
our sheriff in providing more comfort
able room that the jury have boon able to
stand the heat and tediousneee OF the
present term. We urge the police jury
to at once take steps to erect a substan-
tial court room and parish Offices.
We further report that acting under
your honor's charge we have thoroughly
investigated the reports that have been
circulated in regard to the failure OF the
court officers in the discharge OF their du-
ty in the trial of A. Z. Martin, and find
that said reports are entirely untounded
and the charges have no existence in
fact. And, after examining the evidence
taken before the preliminary trial, it con-
vinces us that everything was done that
could have been done in attempting to
discover the assassin Of H. e. Butler.
We ourselves have devoted great deal
OF time in the investigation OF said MUIR
der, have spared no pains, trouble or ex-
pense in said investigation. Have sum.
moned and examined every witness whom
we were informed had any knowledge OF
the commission OF said offense or OF any
thing that had the slightest connection
Herewith. We have examined, in all,
about thirty witnesses and now report
that we have not been able to get SUM-
cient evidence against them for the heni-
Gus offence.
After returning thanks to the conrt and
various officers thereof for the facilities
afforded us in the discharge of our duties
we respectfully ask to be discharged.

We fear our friends have gone
off half cooked in this matter, and,
with the assistance of the CHRONI-
GLE typo, have made considerable
mountain out of what is only a lit
tie mole hill. We did old Demo-
crat the first injustice by accident
ally putting the fraction q" whore
Il" should have been. The exact
language that we printed on the
9th, was: an all there were about
$50 people present, including about
! ladies, ! Democrats, ! P. p, and
the balance children, negroes and
dogs" This sentence in the origi-
nal was 80 badly scratched and in
terlined that we unwittingly trans
posed a word or two. In conse-
quence of which Old Democrat
wrote to us on the 9th as follows:
AS some, or most all of the P, P.s are
making big howl up this way about
my article last week, wish You to make
q couple of corrections. First, / said I
supposed Mr.. Vincent was making about
$3.50 month. A second place should
have read ~ ladies, Is p. p, and q
Democrats, children, negroes and dogs"
The whole was only intended as a joke
and not personal to any one.
AS the error of / instead of ]
seemed to US to be 90 patent, and
we were crowded for space by the
Presidents message in our issue of
the 18th, we laid Old Democrats
correction aside, thereby getting
him the above roasting.
It is all in life time, however,
and Old Democrat, like We editor,
will have to grin and bear with the
little tantrums of riled humanity.
These mistakes and misconstruc-
tions will occur occasionally. He
can take some comfort in the re-
Election that he is "about" as apt
to be right as anybody else in "es-
timating" crowd. He says "about
15O," SO there may have been 200.
The riled brethren put their mini
mum at 400. We therefore split
the difference, and estimate that
the true number was "about BOO"
counting big folks, little folks, me-
groes and dogs, Democrats, P. P's.
and all, our only regret being that
we were not present on that me-
morable occasion to enjoy the good
things SO beautifully provided for
refreshment of the inner man.

Some of our Congressman have
shot their mouths off in q fit Of
pardonable zeal, and told what they
don't know about the financial stu
alton, and the remedy for it, and a
lot of the papers have gone into
conniptions in their rawlings about
free coinage, gold bugs, etc. Now
that it is, becoming understood that
agold standard does not necessarily
means recommendation" but simply
fixes the standard by which both
gold and silver dollars are to be
valued, and that more silver is to be
coined than ever before, the next
thing in order will. be for said Con-
gressmen and newspapers to begin
to hedge and get on the reasonable,
just and right side of the question.
