Chauncy Depew takes strong
ground against injecting party
politics into municipal contests,
claiming that they are not proper
ly within the domain of party pol
itics and that the consultations Of
party by municipal machinery
prevent all municipal reforms and
impregnably fortify the rings
against all assaults made upon
them.

1t is the men and not the women

clare there is to be one law of

st. Paul was not in it with San
Antonio when it came to show
down for the next meeting of the
T. p. A. association. This is an
other straw showing that the Star
of northwestern empire is moving
towards the greater southwest.
AS the metropolis of that south
west San Antonio holds the fort.
DR.. Paxton, the Presbyterian
clergyman who neglected to record
the marriage of Breckenridge to his
present wife, has been fined $40 in
a New York court for the neglect.
The whole business has so affected
the mind of the reverend gentle.
man that he has left his pulpit and
his mind is unbalanced.
The Republicans in Congress and
out of it owe more to the plumbers
of Democratic leaders and states
men than they do to their own
foresight and cleverness. This fact
should not be allowed to go glim-
mering out of sight in this reaction
against Democracy.

The city papers, for this part Of the

lsng that our people were becom-
Ing despondent. and We saw that
something had to be done to break

tsrest Of our farmers and gardeners,
We prepared and published . wealth
e forecast right here in our Office,
statingit would be fair Tomorrow
and next day." Az . matter Of
course, our prediction proved true.
In fact it has been fair ever since,
and our humble efforts in this line
will result In immense benefit to the
agricultural interests throughout
the parish. We ask for no other
reward than the proud conscious
ness OF the fact that through the
irresistable influence Of the FARsaEs
