his coat and walked out. Officer Cor

and followed him. He turned in back
of Anderson & Beams saloon, dropped
the clothing and started to run. The
officer called to him to halt, but he con-
tinued to fly, when the policeman fired
shot over his head, which had the
effect of bringing MIN to standetill.

join the roll Of editors enlisted for
election relom and we see no treason
to the party by so doing. This reform
can come only through the Democrat
ic party. because that party j. sure t.
hold the power ia this State for many
years TO come, and lis leaders ia tAi-
section al favor ballot reform. The
lberlan la, got wrong idea in some
manner about the reform meeting
of editors. The idea OF the origi-
nator of that convention Of editors
was to get the press interested as a
unit for reform III our election laws.
The press can do nothing unless they
present solid front.
The Iberian need not fear to call
itself a reform" newspaper because
it is a Democratic journal. Town
Talk is also of that faith, and is not
afraid to say that it believes that re-
form laws III election matters are of
vital importance to Louisiana and
that the newspapers must unite to
bring it about.-Alexandria Town
Talk.
Town Talk is eminently correct in
every particular Some Of our con
temporaries have lashed themselves
into fever trying to discover some
intention of the editors who met at
Alexandria to overthrow the Demo
cratic party, and this too despite the
fact that of the papers represented
there, only two were of the Peoples
party faith and these were rs opposed
to making it a party movement as
any among them. Besides one Of the
Peoples party organs, one which was
not there. takes little stock in the
movement, but says the resolutions are
too conservative
The fact of the matter is. those
resolutions mean just what they de-
clare. nothing more, nothing less and
that is what is battling our misguided .
friends. who are vaiLly trying to un-
earth a scheme.
As for the Iberian-well its all /
right. Watts must have his little
scare, he must find a mares nest
every once in awhile, but he is solid I
for all that and we now venture that I.
he will be with Us at Robeline and be
in for ballot reform too.

II Pays 10 Inquire.

In business matters nothing should
be taken for granted. Care and
thought should enter into every trans
action and none should be considered
too trivial for care to be given to. 1t
is the duty and to the interest of
every one to keep posted on the prices
Of goods and that class of merchan-
disc which is used by him. 1t is nat
ural for merchant to demand the
highest figures for his wares from the
individual who simply walks into his
establishment and asks for what he
wants, and to give close figures to
the one who is posted on prices. For
these reasons We say, make close in
quirv into the prices of hardware
goods from every house in North
Louisiana and after you nave done
so call on us and we will sell you,
without knowing what others have
asked you because we always sell
lower than any one.

Where's, the present elective sys-
tenn of Louisiana has been manipu-
lated ia a manner t) deprive the peO-
pie Of their irallenable rights, max
ing Il amachine i'll the hands of de-
signing politicians to debauch the
ballot-boE, render nugatory the will
of the people and perpetuate in pow
er those who, in many instances, are
not the choice of the people.
Whereas, in the interest of good,
wholesome and honest government 1t
is necessary that the State of Louis
iona should have such an election
law AS will guarantee to the people al
untrammeled right to cast free bal
lot, and have the same returned as
cast in the ballot-boX; therefore be 1t
Resolved, that we, the representa-
tives Of the press here assembled, do
hereby pledge ourselves to use every
honorable means in Onr power to in
duce our Legislature to enact such a
ballot law rs will meet the necessities
of the case herein expressed; and
Resolved, that failing in this effort
we pledge ourselves to urge the cleo
ton OF such a Legislature as will
give to the people this needful re-
form; aud further
Resolved, that cordial invitation

Mr.. BLANCHARD AND LeVeeS, AND
ON SILVER.

La this issue of The PROGRESS will
be found communication from Hon.
n, G. Blanchard defining, at our re-
quest, his position on the levee question.
To us the explanation is entirely sat
isfactory as far as lies in his power.
While we still favor combination of
levees and outlets, still, as will be seen
from his communication. this is some
thing over which he has no
control, the matter being left entirely
TO a commission Of engineers appointed
for the purpose.
Up TO their last statement they have
reported against outlets and in favor of
ievying entirely. but it is possible for
all to make a mistake, and in view Of
the fact that 80 many now believe in the
outlet theory in conjunction with levees.
we respectfully urge Mr.. Blanchard to
make an attempt to have Congress go
into another investigation so that the
engineers may see if they have not
committed an error in recommending
levees entirely. We hope he
will give this suggestion due con-
sideration and If il can be made to meet
with his approval, then let him intro
duce a resolution to that effect.
But TO return to Mr. Blanchard's 5 an
swer. We are very glad that he has

know to be- true, because we were del

and offers $50, in four special premiums.

That it is unfair for the city to com
pei some to put sewerage on their
premises and others not. She says
the mayor himself has none on his.
nor has the president of the Board of
Trade in the adjoining yard. Like
wise a yard on Texas street within a
stones throw of the mayors office is
in an unsanitary condition on that ac-
count; while its neighbors were made
to put it in theirs.
That those rails and ties are still
lying on the unused track of the City
Railway Company on Jordan street.
and she thinks it about time for this

That she wants every man, woman

down new sidewalks and repair the
old ones, except the SO-foot portion
owned or controlled by a member Of
that body She says such lessons a.
this action is teaching, is worth learn
ing by the young folks Of to-day.
That she hopes it will not be neces-
sary for the city council to force the
Belt Line Company to put lights on
Its trailers, but that it will see the
necessity for them and do it of its
own volltion.
That the members of our railroad
committee and Board of Trade are
now vying with each other, to see
which body can win the most numer-
Gus encomiums for craftsmanship.
That the people would like to know
when the city council intends to take
the title receiving" step on the new
cemetery question.
That the Sixth Ward tannery has
become an offensive nuisance, may be
an unsanitary establishment and
should be corrected.
That some OF the police officers are
little too previous in reporting
closets unsanitary. She says its pie
for the vidanguer but hard on the in
dividual.
That the police jury should not
show favoritism by refusing to make
an appropriation forIthe merchants
fair, when it has always done so for
the old association.
That the four sides to the court
house square should be laid with fine
concrete walks, while walks of the
same material should be laid to the
four entrances.
That the old jail should be removed
from the courthouse square and a
new and modern structure erected
