INTERESTING CAsE.-The case of the
County Board of Supervisors VS.. James
Duncan was heard before Justice Sche-
voslt at the old court house to-day. 1t
appears that Mr.. Duncan now resists
the construction of the road, the Mount
Vernon Avenue, on his property, near
the aims house, over which he had
given the right of way. He now claims
that the road is not being built along
the line the viewers designated and
which he gave, and also denies that he
entered into a contract to sell certain
portions of mis- farm along the line of
the road to Mr.. J. NJ. Hill. Last week
County Surveyor Sickles and his men
attempted to 90 to work on Mr.. Dun
cans land. Mr.. D. and others arrived
with guns, drove them off and threat
ened to shoot them if they trespassed
on his property. The case will occupy
the residue of the evening, and which
ever way decided it will probably be
taken TO the County Court. The SUI
pervisors talk of prosecuting Mr.. Dun
can for perjury and assault.

Gen. Raum, of Illinois spoke at
the Grand opera house to a large
and respectable audience graced by
the presence of many ladies. The
general treated his hearers to an
entertaining tariff speech.
Our Italians were at San Pedro
Springs, celebrating Columbus
day.
The "Reform" county ticket held
a large and enthusiastic meeting
at Sommers garden. Gus Houston
was roasted to a town, and the
"citizens" ticket generally lam
b .sted.
The colored folks held sever al
meetings and were addressed by
candidates and their friends.
But this was not all; a big
wagon, carrying painted banners !:
"Grand Democratic rally at Central

the city, while cow bell was rung
to attract attention. Billie Worth

STAND ON OUR RIGHTS,
And We Will Be Sustained by the
Law and the People.

Law ana the feople.
Five years ago, the printers, en-
ployed by the LIGHT, arrogantly
attempted to run the paper, re-
gardless Of the wishes and interests
of it's owners, and the LIGHT
promptly discharged them and
thereby nipped strike in the bud,
and before it could bloom out. The
LIGHT at once employed a new set
of printers and has moved along
smoothly and pleasantly for five
years, paying it's employees prompt
Iy their wages every Saturday
night. The LIGHT mas no fault to
find with it's employees, and it's en-
ployes have made no complaint
against the paper. The LIGHT has
not had the smallest trouble with
its printers and does not apprehend
any trouble with them. But a gang
of professional agitators, in flimsy
disguises, have resolved, in the
plenitude of their self. conceit and
in the eXuberanCe of their passion
for intermeddlIng with the bust
ness Of other people, to act
as the unsolicited bosses and die
tators of the LIGHT, which has
given them no provocation, and to
Coerce it by the thumb screw OF a
boycott, to discharge its present
force OF printers and employ men
marked, labelled and ticketed by
these self.constituted bosses and
would-be dictators.
The LIGHT stands pat on it's
hand, and is confident that the peo-
pie will sustain it. 1t takes it's
stand On the natural and legal
right Of every man to control and
manage his own business accord
ing to his judgment and interest,
and to employ whom he pleases
to aid him in his business,
without let, or hinderance, from
outsiders The LIGHT has been
guilty of no offence except that OF
exercising the right conferred on
it by the laws Of the state. 1t has
made no war on those who are
striving with malignant industry
to coerce citizens into boycotting
the LIGHT for thing which oc.
Cured five years ago. The war on
the LIGHT is without a shadow Of
provocation, or justification, and
for that reason the public is bound
to see tits the outcome Of malignity
envy, and OF disposition to inter
NEEDLE and dictate. The LIGHT hat

Turkey and Buzzard.

Gus. Houston has been heard
from. He entertained a mixed poll
teal audience at Fort Davis with
one of his usual slangy speeches,
His allusion to the tariff, that
being protection region, is thus
given in the telegram to the
Express: "He also stated
that If sent to Congress he would
see that there is a fair division of the
turkey and buzzard, as he thought
that the east had had turkey long
enough and that the rest of the
country was getting tired of buzz
gard" Gus intends this, no doubt,
for his views on tariff. The people
will inform him on the 9th of No
vember that they are tired of buzz
zard speeches, such as he has been
getting off throughout the district.

Gen. Raum, who spoke at the
opera house, has the reputation of
being great political campaigner.
The general is out here looking into
an investment in the asphalt
mines near Uvalde. But like an
old "wha boss" he can't smell the
battle afar off without wanting to
prance into it, hence he responded
to an invite to speak to the people
Of San Antonio.

invest their money in her asphalt,

and help to develop her magnifi-

A CARD.

Hon. Cal d. Hicks, Shreveport, La:
The recent very unexpected and up-
warranted action of a part of the con-
gressional executive committe Of the
Democratic party of the Fourth Con
gresslonal District has aroused the
indignation of all lovers of liberty
and a free ballot, at least in our
household. Therefore, very large
contingent OF those who have always in
the past supported nominees of the
old party, have grown weary of wait
ing for the better time coming, all
the while submitting to the party lash
without complaint. Being appeased
with promises, forgotten as soon as
elections are over and fat places
secured, have determined to submit
tamely no longer. In casting about
for a man of courage, intelligence
and patriotism, who will bear the
peoples banner faithfully to victory
or unsullied in defeat, can think of
none whose utterarce have been
more bold in advocacy of reform, OF
whose sentiment have been more in
Inc with the interest of the masses
and who would more worthily voice
heir sentiment in the National Leg
stature than yourself. Hence, they
'sk you to permit the use of your {

Mr.. LEBANON, La, April 9-At Il
mass meeting Of the peoples party
held at Sparta April 6, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed, and it was requested that they be
sent to The PROGRESS and Alliance
Forum for publication:
Resolved, first-Thst we reaffIrm
our approval and support of the ma
tlonal demands of the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union, and any
essential part thereof that NAV be
selected for national campaign, as
at Omaha, naming finance, transpor-
tation and land.
Second - That we regard Mr..
Cleveland and his administration us
a shameful failure, a deliberate de-
ceptlon and an insult to American
principles.
Third-That the reduction Of the
tariff with corresponding contrac-
ton of the currency, as in the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act of 1890, is no relief, but an
insult added to oppression.
Fourth-That we favor the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, equal
with gold, at the ratio of Is to ]. to
be supplemented with a government
issue of legal tender notes to an
amount edua'ing the demand for an
ample circulating medium.
Fifth-That we favor graduated
income tax and no bonds, no banks of
ssue, no special favors to individuals |
classes or locations
