SEVERE ON AMERICANS.
How One of John Bulls Watchfu1 Organs

How One of John Bulls watchfu1 Organs
Sizes Up Some American Subjects.
Except q Yorkshireman there is no
more self conscious person than your
untraveled American. He knows every
ching. You can't take him in. He
comes from the biggest country in the
world. His smartness is proverbial He
does not continually exclaim, 81 am
Yankee l am" but he metaphorically
waves his flag in the face of an effete
civilization and trails his egotism be-
fore the darned old country all the time,
you bet And it is done surely and per-
sistently. Every whipper snapper OF
sneak thief has him. Notwithstanding
the staleness of the confidence trick in
his own country, he is prey to the first
American sharper or the clumsiest imi-
tator of the Yankee methods whom he
meets in street or barroom. The papers
lately have contained several instances
of the successful practice. of the conf
dence trick ON Americans. The wonder
is that any one can be fieeced SO easily.
Imagine any sane person being in
duced to hand over his watch and his
purse to total stranger and letting
him go out of sight to test his faith In
the said stranger-"to show his conf
dence' in a man he does not care but
ton about, and whose acquaintance he
has only just made. This happened the
other day in Holborn to an American
gentleman who parted with watch, ring
and notes to the value of nearly $500.
The story began by one Of two conf
dence men spotting him for an Ameri-
can in Holborn and asking him, "Say,
stranger, is this new street,"
The two men were Americans; they
came from Virginia; the dupe was from
journed to the restaurant to have a
drink. The first Virginia gentlemen had
come into large fortune and wanted
to give lot Of it away, but not to Brit
ishers-oh, no-but to his own country
men.
The Jersey gentleman was induced to
undertake the office of my lord bounti-
full to the millionaire and was permit
ted for time to hold possession OF a
great bundle of spurious notes. Then,
to show his confidence in his new
friends, he handed over all he had about
him, and they presently decamped with
his money, "jewels, cash and plate. "
He had to go home before the police
could catch the masqueraders, but on
reaching New York he will be asked by
cable to keep the promise he made that
he would return and prosecute them II
the dull London detectives could lay
hands ON the astute operators from Vlr-
ginia.
And this kind Of thing is going on
continually. The credulity of people in
general says great deal for the trust
fitness and sympathy of humanity as a
whole Cynics would say that it may
be taken as still more indicative OF its
greed. 1t certainly says little for its
caution. The most transparent swindles
of the day in the direction of compa-
MES, partnerships, offers of fortunes for
few pounds, successful systems of bet
ting and speculation catch, their dupes
day by day, and Monte Carlo is extend

The Populists of the 4th Congressional
district met in convention at Natchito-
ches on the 18th, and nominated G. D.
Hicks, of Caddo, as their candidate for
Congress. Nine parishes out of twelve
were represented, and Judge Machen, Of
Grant. was elected chairman. Mr.. Hicks
made speech, in which he said that he
was a Democrat, and broadly intimated
that he expected to get majority Of the
Democratic vote in the district, which he
puts at 1900, because Mr.. Ogden only
got 1868 votes in the late primary He
entirely ignores the fact that 6212 votes
were cast in the primary, which will not
only virtually 60 solid for Ogden on the
oath, but will control and carry for him
fully that many more votes. The best
that Mr.. Hicks can hope for is possibly
1000 Populite votes. and that will not be
half enough to elect him. We do not
believe that any considerable number of
sorry Democrats can be found who will
take stock in Mr.. Hicks pretentions.

Some valuable public school lands are
to be sold in Grant parish on Saturday,
May 18th. By referring to the ADVERTISE
ment Of Sixteenth Sections to be Sold, -
1t will be seen that these lands are loca-
ted in township 8 north, ranges ] and 2
west. 1t is claimed by some that combi-
nations have been made by spectators
and mill men by which many acres Of
timber lands have been sacrificed at one
quarter OF their value at sales heretofofe
perfected. Our grand jury called atten-
ton to this matter by protesting against
it at our late term of court, but we call
special attention to the fact that the Off
cials are almost powerless to prevent this
unless the people of the inter-
ested townships take an active hand and
assist in the matter. In the first place
the elections to order sales should be op-
posed unless there are good reasons to
believe that the lands will bring their full
value, and after the lands are ordered to
be sold the citizens of the locality should
take enough interest to send in delega-
ton OF three or four persons to see that
the land is not valued too low.

Democratic Nominee.
FOR CONGRESS,
Fourth District of La,
HON. H. w. OGDEN,

OF BOSSIER PARISH.

Vne CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
In the primary election on the
7th inst. to nominate a Democratic
candidate for Congress from the
4th district, 1869 votes were cast
for Ogden. 1926 for Pierson, 1906
for Hall, and 600 for Boone MAX
ing total of 6212 votes in all.
Hon. H. w. Ogden having re-
ceived the majority over the other
candidates, has been declared the
Democratic nominee. He is well
qualified for the position, and what
is better, in the minds of most peo-
pie, he is in line with the "free sill
yer" sentiment of the district On
this score we are free to say that
in common with thousands of other
good Democrats he has gone astray
and become q "silver bug" being
influenced thereto under the mis-
taken Silver-King- Populistic idea
that Cleveland and all Democrats
who support his policy are ''gold
bugs" committed to a contraction
of the currency. We believe this
to be all wrong, aud that before the
present Congress adjourns, the pas
sage of the Meyers seigniorage
bill, and other measures of great
public benefit, will force Mr.. Og-
den and all other good Democrats
to admit that this is really and tru-
ly a bi-metalic administration, and
entitled to the earnest support and
sympathy of the rank and file of the
party in all of it's measures.
Believing that the majority have
the right to the support of the mi
nority in all party measures, we
shall vote for Mr.. Ogden, and In
sist that it is the duty of all Dem-
ocrats and good citizens interested
in the progress and prosperity of
the people to do the same.
Measures of national reform are
only to be carried out by united
party action, and in these days of
Populistic folly and communistic
disorder, it is imperative for lovers
of good government, law and or
der, to stand together. Come out
to the polls next Tuesday and give
Gallant Harry" Ogden rousing
vote for Congress. We differ with
him on some points, but he's good
enough for us, for all that.

The police jury of VIM parish has de-
cided to build new court house, and
advertise for bids, plans and specifica-
tions for wood and brick buildings, cost
ing all the way from $4,000 to 1900, the
prevailing idea seeming to be that the
best will be the cheapest and most Salts
factory in the long run. They have also
awarded the parish printing to the Ex-
celsior over the Comrade, and the latter
is doing some tall kicking.
