MADAM RUMOR SAYS

| siderable OF being a manly one.
That public crossings are put down
in the middle of blocks on Mcneil
street, between Travis and Fam in
and on Fairfield avenue, to accom-
modate individuals, but one is not
laid on Texas street, where the peo-
pie need it.
That several wagons are busily en-
gagged in hauling dirt on my court
house square"
That the sentiment Of fair-play
and justice which seemed to illumine
some members of the police jury in
reference to the parish printing ques-
ton, seems to have died out and
gwen politics control again.
That prisoners in our jail tell un-
wholesome stories about the activity
Of vermin, which dwell and grow fat
in the iDclosure thereof. She thinks
humanity demands a remedy.
That a monument should be erect
ed to our city council for their action
in spending those -, 700 for opening
Market street She thinks this use
less piece Of work of much more i'm
portance than good, comfortable
school boUses for the children of the
city.
That our people are still hoping
that the city council will fix the max
imum time for lighting the city at
three years for the next contract.
That the city taxpayers still think
the Office of lieutenant of police an
unnecessary position.
That the financiers of our town
think $1,000 year mayor an ex-
travagant luxury.
That those electric lights on
Southern and Fairfield avenues are
not yet lighting the pathways of be-
nighted taxpayers as they should.
That the railroad committee has
been keeping strangely quiet for
some days.
That certain professional men do
many unprofessional acts to gain no.
toriety, III community not far from

That lawyer or a doctors reputa-
ton is won by knowledge and skill,
and not by words; all of which she
respectfully dedicates where it be-
longs.
That the Elder family have shaken
the dust of Shreveport off their feet,
and no one can well blame them.
That expressions of sincere regret
from many friends are extended to
Mr.. Herman ZODIAC, in the damage
to his beautiful store.
That law and order league is not
for desecraters of homes.
Those should be taken out and dis
posed of as if they were mad dogs
and rattle-snakes She thinks they
are far inferior to the latter animals
or reptiles.
That an organized body of the
mothers of Shreveport could do
much towards bringing the law into
power again in this community. In
fact, she thinks they could accom-
plish this entirely.
That the mothers of Shreveport
should remember the story of the
mother crow and her white Off
spring. Like this bird they may
realize, too late, that their young
ones are no whittier than other crows.
That the parisL of Caddo should
enforce the misdemeanors on her
statute books, and then the graver
crimes could be much easier handled.
That it is getting to be almost an
impossibility to get grand jury to
find bill for assault and battery, no
matter how serious and aggravated
the offense.
Thai the crime known as ds;ng vul-

hope you will give this letter publica-
ton, as Col. Louck explains in clev-
er, unmistakable language the true
Alliance doctrine JOIN PICKETT.
To the Members of the y. F. \. y L. L.
A few days ago l received a letter
asking for a decision on the follow
ing point: Can an Alliance discuss
such political questions as govern
ment ownership Of railways, the sub
treasury plan Of issuing money, etc. ?'
The president of the Alliance had
yuled that the order was nOn-part-
zan, hence could not discuss political
questions My answer, of course,
was that it was not only an order, but
it was the duty of every Alliance to
discuss every plank in our platform,
and advisable to discuss State and
other issues to US as individuals, and
as class, Too many of our writers
and speakers are not careful
enough IN the use of the terms nom
political and non-partizan. We are
a political organization, indeed; dis
tinctively political organization, as
every plank in our demands is polite
al. They all relate to the science
of government. Each and everyone
of them requires political action to
chrystalize them into law. But we
are distinctly non-partizan organi-
zation. We require no pledge of
support for any political party. We
do not even require pledge to sup
port our demands. The Alliance is
an educational organization. We
welcome into our order men of al
political affiliations, and discuss po-
litical questions regardless of polite
al parties, as they affect our interests,
leaving to each individual the right
to support or reject, as in his judg-
ment he deems best. In this we diff
fer widely from partisan organiza-
tions. The Democratic club
is a partizan organization,
in that it demands sup
port in the Democratic party as a
test of membership. The same is true
of the Republican league, for the
Republican party, and industrial le-
gion, for the Peoples Party. Should
the members of any Of these fail in
their support they are liable to ex-
plusion. 1t is not so with member
of the Alliance. So long as other
classes and professions organize by
themselves in non-partizan organi
zatlons, it will be wise for the farmers
to follow their example Indeed it
is necessity for US to organize for
self protection.
1t would be a fatal mistake for us
to become a partizan organization;
that is, the tool of any political party.
1t is our duty to formulate and dis
cuss our demands, regardless of how
it may affect any party. If the ad-
vocacy and.supporter of our demands
hurt any political party, it is their
own fault. We offered them to all
parties alike with the implied prom
Use of support if they adopted them.
On the other hand, if it helps par
ty because they have adopted the
same del 4uds, it is their legitimate
reward tor doing 81. 1t would 10
exceedingly unwise for us to drop
any demand simply because a polit-
ical party had adopted it. We must
push it until it is enacted into law.

THAT REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Judge Zane Finds for the Plaintiff In
Tho Bi,tnor- White Action.

Nearly the whole morning In Chief
Justice Zane's court was taken up
with the legal arguments IN the case OF
b. ID. Bittner VS. Albert J. White, tried
yesterday afternoon. Plaintiffs side
OF the matter was that on April 9th,
1890, White represented TO him that a
certain piece of land could be- pur-
chased for $1,000, In Salt Lake, and
asked him TO join In the deal. Bi,tner
astented TO tho proposition, put up
$4,000 for his share OF tho purchase
price, and later the property was trans
ferred to plaintiff and defendant by w.
>, Mccormick. Later, however, plain
TIL hscertained that shortly prior to
tho purchase by himself anu tho de-
iendant from Mr.. Mccormick, White
hau purchased the property from one
William Upheld for $500, aud had
caused II to be conveyed to Mccormick
Tor the purpose of concealing
from plaintiff the true consideration
involved. Hence lie demanded judg.
mcnt against defendant for $1,000 with
Interest, that amount representing the
difference between what he should
have paid anu what he did pay. The
defendant denied a want OF good faith
ON his part, and alleged that he pur-
chased the property from Upheld for
Mccormick, and at the time was not
Interested In the deal himself. At
later date he concluded to purchase
the property from Mccormick, and
plaintiff joined with him IN the same.
White also stated that he paid $3.50 for
his interest. Counsel on both sides
made a strong fight and then sub
mit,ed the matter to the court.
His honor made one or two strong
observations In regard to certain
methods OF real estate dealing and
found for the plaintiff In tho sum OF
