Hon. Cal d Hicks, Shreveport, La:
The recent very unexpected and IN
warranted action Of a part of the con
gressiOnal executive COmmitte Of the
Democratic party of the Fourth Con-
gressional District has aroused the
indignation Of all lovers Of liberty
and free ballot, at least III our
household. Therefore, a very large
contingent Of those vino have al ways in
the past supported nominees of the
old party. have grown weary Of wait
ing for the better tine coming, all
the while submitting to the party lash
without complaint. Being aDpeased
with promises, forgotten as soon as
elections are over and fat places
secured, have determined to submit
tamoly no longer, In casting about
for man of courage, intelligence
and patriotism, who will bear the
peoples banner faithfully to victory
or unsullied in defeat, can think of
none whose utterance have been
more bold in advocacy of reform, or
whose sentiment have been more in
line with the interest of the masses,
and who would more worthily voice
their sentiment in the National Leg
islature than yourself. Hence, they
ask you to permit the use of your
name as candidate for election to the
place made vacant by the governors

A VICTORY.

Judge Henry G. Caldwell, of the
United States Circuit Court, handed
down his decision last week at Omaha
in the great fight made against organ
lied labor by the Union Pacific rail
road through the courts. 1t was a
great victory for the organized work
men, an d their rights are respected
in at least one circuit. The railroad
companies throughout the land were
lending all the encouragem ent posi-
bic to defeat the laborers but Judge
Caldwell has called halt. He says
that the Constitution Of the United
States must not be trampled upon
and that the American flag shall still
wave
His decision was grand one and
labor rejoices; we are yet slaves I'M
der some judges, but not under this
| judge. What does the order of Dun
dy amount to now? He tore down
the American flag as did jenkins,
but Caldwell has come to the rescue,
holsted it up and says that it shall
continue to wave.--The Rail Road
! Photographer.
This is indeed a grand victory,
which has been achieved by organ
lied labor. Judge Caldwell struck
the key note when he said that the
Constitution of the United States
must not be trampled upon, that the
American flag shall still wave. We
can only hope that this is the fore
runner, which will mark an epoch in
the coming history Of this country,
when the laboring classes in all courts
OF this land eau get their just and
legal rights. If the giant monop-
olies, such as rail roads telegraph
and telephone corporations, cannot
successfully operate their system,
without grinding the honest organ
lied labor, then we say that this is
one of the strongest reasons why the
government should own and operate
the system upon just and legitimate
basis-THE PROGRESS has ever battled
for fair treatment and fair play to-
words the laboring classes, the honest
abor of the land and will always be
found fighting on that line as long

The foundations Of our govern

of one man until the laboring men Of
America occupy positions like those

WHAT A DEMOCRATIC JOURNAL SAYS.

Editor Hicks makes a vigorous
reply to those who allege that his
candidacy against nominee Ogden
puts him outside the Democratic
party. He alludea to the attitude Of
McEneryites in the last State cam
paign, who went into a primary with
the Fosterites, got licked and then
proceeded to run" their man until he
was paralyzed at the general election;
and Editor Hicks draws the conclu-
sion that if his race now with Ogden
dumps him out Of the party why
McEnery and his entire following in
1892 are in the same boat-or shak-
Ter one, for the reason that Hicks
never went into the primary with
Ogden at all. Hicks is about half
right-and the other half too. Louis

1T is hard to tell who will get the

establishments are often in league
with each other, or branches of the

AS competition for employment be-

newspaper coupon business, there

The news agencies get hold of the

the coupons in convenient packages,
and pass them on to the newsbOys,
who hawk them on the street. This
in turn disturbs the advertiser, who
fears he is paying on a coupon circu-

lower advertising rates. There are

The Southern states have a bet
ter comprehension of the weakness
of the political economy of the day.
Farmers all through the South go
from season to season without seeing
$40 bill. They secure credit at
one per cent per month at the store
by giving lien upon future crops,
and with this credit secure seed and
family supplies. There has long
been a currency famine in the
South, and among the people silver
is generally preferred to paper mon
ey. In the Carolinas, Georgia, AL
ALBANIA and Texas especially, the ir-
ritation of the people is assuming
threading form politically. They
come togethern great numbers, open
the meeting with prayer, and often
remain encamped for week at a
time. This is one of the remarkable
phases of this remarkable epoch in
our history. 1t sometimes happens
that in rural districts the planters in
the congregation of Sunday will
organize an outdoor political meet
ing after the church service, call in
the minister to offer prayer, and
spend the afternoon telling the
story of their poverty, and visiting
their wrath upon John Sherman and
Wall street.
