the bank has appealed to the .. 5.

The Illogical and unreasoningvi-

in more than thirty years in all de-

that they neither know, compre-
bend or appreciate the time honor

Legislation and Business.

Between the National Democratic
platform and those who voted the
Democratic ticket, there appears
to be, at this particular time
marked difference of opinion.
Certain it is that, although the
present administration is pledged
to changes in the provisions of
what is known as the Mckinley bill,
no action looking to a redemption
of those pledges will meet with the
unanimous Endorsement of the
Democratic members of the Cleve-
land administration. Now, why is
this? Surely, it cannot be pleaded
that the planters of Louisiana did
not know the text of the National
Democratic platform; nor will it
be contented that the coal and iron
miners of Alabama, nor the rice
planters of South Carolina did not
vote intelligently; yet all these
States have sent influential and re-
preventative delegations to Wash
ington to protest against the pro-
posed changes in the existing tar
if laws. The representatives of
Louisiana have been particularly
active in behalf of the people of
this State; but why do not Demo-
Gratis insist upon carrying into eff
feet all the changes recommended
by the Democratic platform?
The question is easily answered:
Business interests are opposed to
any such legislation. Millions of
dollars are involved and the veal
or woe of very large class of the
country's Drawn and muscle will
suffer, and with them-that class
depression, stagnation and in many
places and to many interests will
follow absolute ruin, Immediately
upon the heels of any change that
may take place.
Who will desire to invest in sug-
ar plantation property or machin
cry under the proposed changes IL
the sugar bounty? What capita
lists, with grain of sense, will de
sire to invest in coal mine or al
iron ore mine? Who will be hard.
enough to undertake the develop
ment of the Improbable rice land
Why do the bank statements o
the country show that money is &C
. cumulating? Because Legislation
and the prospect of more Legislation
, gives reasonable grounds for feal
/ based on uncertainty.
So, to sum up the situation, tn
; first demand of the people is TO
; fixed values = one way or another
permanency must be had. Thing
; must be put on business basis
When that is done, the first law
nature, self preservation will hav
|, again been vindicated. Chart

Our Alexandria neighbors of the
Louisiana Democrat annouce the
fact of that paper entering its 49th
volume with its last issue, and
boasts of being the oldest paper in
the State, except the N. 0. Plea
yune. We extend congratulations,
and hope the Democrat may pass
the last half of its century OF exis-
tence as creditably and more prob
tebly than the first half.

The Christmas Tree.

The Colfax Christmas tree which
blossomed in the court house last
Saturday night was a JOY to behold.
1t had about two hundred presents
on it, and almost every adult and
child in the community received a
gift of some sort. The utmost good
natuie and decorum prevailed, and
not single jar occurred to mar
the pleasure of the occasion.
The editor of the CHRONICLE was
particularly well remembered, hav-
ing received no less than nine pres
ents on the tree, neck ties, scarf
pins, kerchief, cob pipe, toy ball, a
big Irish potato, etc., being among
his presents. The potato came in
spIendidly on Christmas day for a
salad to go with that fine dinner of
turkey and oysters.

Mainly Worthless vagabonds.

1t is estimated there are at least g.
100000 men in this country out OF en-
ployment, as the direct result OF the H.
nancial panic of last summer and conse.
quent suspension of manufacturing and
other business enterprises. While we
have no reason to call in question the cor
rectuess of the number, we are satisfied
that many of them are ''tramping" the
country, not on account OF the panic and
their inability to obtain work, but from
dissipation and natural Discrimination
to work when it could be procured.-La.
Democrat.
While in New Orleans lately we
interviewed six men of the tramp
species, greasy and dirty. To our
proposition to endeavor to gel
them employment on a farm in
the country, every one demurred
saying that kind of life was not de-
sirable, as they preferred to worl
in the cities at such labor as they
were used to. All were perfectly
willing to accept nickle and con
tinue to sit on bench in the pub

Democratic sore-heads and po-
litical trimmers may growl all they
please about the President appoint
ing Republicans to Office, but the
people are not going to complain
when he prefers such men as Judge
Gresham and Wayne McVeigh.
These men were Democrats forty
years ago, and, because they may
have been Wings and know Moth
ings, or even have affiliated with
the Republican party on the great
slavery question, is no question as
to their merits. They are clean
men, the public demands their
services, and the President deserves
credit rather than censure for their
selection. True, he had the oppor-
tunity to select politicians, but the
country and the Democratic party
is better off for his not having
done SO.

While the Christmas frolicking
was going on Mr.. Wash Hathaway
took advantage of the times to steal
him a wife. He selected Miss
Belle Brister, and the two hied
them to the nearest magistrate, and
soon were married. The bride was
only in her fourteenth year, and OF
course pater familas, John Brister,
Esq, grows irate over the affair,
but the question naturally arises,
what can he do about it. His on
ly reflection can be that, although
they marry in haste they may Woe
fully repent at their leisure. We
can but wish then JOY, however,
and may they learn wisdom from
their folly.
