Atteiilpt az Train Wreckfng.

An attempt was made to wfeck
the train near Cade station in the
night of Saturday last. Crossties
had been placed on the rails about
half mile on the east side of Cade,
and had the engineer failed to stop
his engine, it would, in all proba-
bility, resulted in a serious accident
AS customary ON such occasions the
officials of the train telegraPhed
what had happened to Superinten-
dent Owens, who telegraphed the
railroad officials here instructing
them to inform Sheriff Broussard of
the facts of the case and to take
him to Cade efi the first east-bound
train. Although the sheriff was at
home sleeping, he readily consented
to 60 outside of his parish and do
all in his power to capture the
would-be tain wreckers. He
boarded the freight train which left
here at about $500 in the morning
and stopped at Broussard where he
was joined by Deputy Billeaud.
At this station he wired Sheriff Cade
of Iberia to meet him at Cade.
Cade station was reached at 4
O'Clock and the sheriff and his
deputy went to work Immediately.
They were informed that Joseph
Samuels, a negro gambler, was seen
lettering around the station during
the day and until about O'Clock in
the morning and surmising that he
was implicated in the attempted
wreck, the officers soon located him
at his home, one mile from Cade
and arrested him. Among other in
cidents which lead the officers to
believe that Samuels is the right man
they found in his room a coat With
the sleeves nearly covered with mud.
Samuels claims to have arrived
home at 10 o'clock but persons at
Cade say that he left that place after
midnight.
In the meantime Sheriff Cade and
Deputy Romero arrived and the
prisoner was turned over to them.
If Samuels proves to be the Gull
prit this arrest will be another feather
in Ike's cap.

is thus recognized for representation

second place that Mr.. Beidleman will

SERVICE PENSION.

Senator Turpie recently introduced
a service pension bill which provides,
in addition to al invalid pensions
which have been or may be granted,
for all men who served in the army or
navy during the war, Il service pen
sion at the rate of one cent for each
days service rendered provided that
every such pensioner who is rated at
less than $S per month shall be in
creased to So upon his reaching the
age of 90 years, and $I2 per month if
unable to perform manual labor. Had
the Republican party passed some such
bill as this at the close of the war they
would not only have saved millions of
dollars that have been paid out to
claim agents, and doctors and others
than the soldiers proper, but they
would have placed every soldier under
special obligations to them. In their
great anxiety however to place all man
kind under obligations to them, they
have lost forever just about one half
the soldier vote. Talk as they like
about Democratic treatment of pen
sioners, it takes at least two political
parties to meet out exact justice to
those who took hand in saving this
country during the war and since the
war. Even in the hour Of peace there
is more or less war over the inequities
and iniquities engendered by political
strife and mans natural greed. And
we hold that the party that is freest
from inequity and inequity is the one
most worthy of survival, and its most
apt to succeed in Gods providence,
even in spite of politicians. If this
stand is not partisan we still maintain
it is patriotic to advocate with Darwin
the survival of the fittest. AS for
scrvice-pension, no one but soldier
can get it, and he alone deserves it,
In our opinion.

BUSINESS.

1t is just as well, perhaps, that
farmers, whether rich or poor, mani
fest no disposition to corner their
products against the consumer. 1t is
just as well, no doubt, that they have
no disposition TO cease work for COM
mercial or political effect, as other
industries do SO frequently. 1t is for
the best, likely, that farmers are not
combined as class Ike corporations
and labor unions for self-defense in
the general push and scramble for
money making that particularly char
acterzes corporate wealth. And yet
the writer has often wondered at it
Wondered that some determined
effort has not been made to have as
faithful representation in our halls of
legislation as our protected manu-
featuring industries have right along
and very carefully guarded. We have
often wondered that, for the sake Of
home and freside long since mort
gagged beyond redemption in many
cases) something has not been done
by the farmers except TO toll and
sweat and be forever hoodwinked by
middle men and deceitful politicians.
If the farmer presumes to 60 to town
and sell his own products he is very
apt to be obliged to pay toll at some
gate in the hands of corporation
that is granted the exclusive privi-
lege to take little care of the high
way and tax everybody toll thattravels
it. Hc next finds that high protect
ion in the interest of few smart men
owning a market house in town stares
him in the face, requiring him to take
out high license or quit selling, ex-
cept to them, and at their rates. In
stead of permitting middle men to
dictate to the farmer, we should like
to see bin able himself to reap what
profit can be properly gained on his
products, and when huckster, for
instance, says | will pay but IL cts.
a dozen for eggs next week, and 90
cts. for your butter, l hope the Lord
will in some way yet enable the farmer
to tell that huckster he need not call
for his products at any such rates, as
they will never enable him to pay
current taxes, much less raise a mort
gage one-half the value of the farm
and which is quite likely to foreclose
upon him at any time. We know the
farmer is not entirely free from blame
for his present utter helplessness.
He should realize that he is in the
care of those who live by their wits,
as they call it.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-05-11

The New York Times says "the
income tax is a transitory Popuist
fancy that will not continue in force
three years." If the Republican party
comes into power we must agree with
with the Times. But if asked why
the Republican party was so tremen-
dously defeated when in full sympathy
with no income tax and no tariff re-
form, we should be obliged to answer
Cleveland promised, both to the tired
sovereign power, and that's why he
won.

PRESIDENTIAL PROPHESY.

In casting about for Presidential
timber it is little strange that Rep
ublicans should first hit upon the OBJ
jecting and Objectionable material
that was once condemned, or rather
rejected, by the American people after
trial, in the person Of ex President
Harrison. His refusal to accept the
proposition thus early is quite as ra-
tional as were the modest remarks Of
the aesthetic Chauncey Depew, who
allowed that the candidate who now
accepts will want breath before the
nominating convention assemblies.
There is nothing like reserving ones
best wind for the homestretch in the
mail Presidential race If Chauncey
Depew, Republican, and Senator
Hill Democrat, should conspire and
combine to win the coveted President
ial prize, there Is no doubt they could
influence more wealth than any two
men In America If like Greeley, Hill
should step over to the enemy for the
sake of preferment (and he would not
have far to step the Republican party
would have in this pair of twin pluto
cratic representatives strong ticket,
the like Of which could not be found
from Maine to California, so fal as
money and its influence goes. But, in
the language of Shakespeare, "there
is a destiny that shapes our ends,
rough hew it how we may and we
are little apprehensive that neither
Hill nor Depew will make 1t, what
ever may fall to the lot of Harrison.

COMMERCIAL,

Dun's Commercial Agency gives
hopeful signs of business improvement,
Notwithstanding the deplorabe condi.
ton which we believe to be attributable
to over.productlon, individual and ma.
tlonal Indebtedness, and the prolonged
strikes of capitol and labor. The sell
fish motive that impels capital to strike
by closing their works in order to in
timidate tariff reformers, or to forestall
anticipated legislation, is the same sell
fish motive that actuatcs labor to strike
themselves out of employment in dull
times in the hope either of bettering
present conditions or avoiding threat
ened reductions. In some cases higher
rates are sought and strikes ensue in
consequence. In other cases strikes
have resulted from deliberate provo
cation on the part Of capital. Capital
knows full well when to provoke a
strike among its employees, as also
when to court peace for sake of higher
dividends. If business prosperity is de.
pendent upon favorable legislation,
then not only manufacturers should re-
ceive favorable consideration, but the
farmer should also be given an occas-
lonal boost at the hands OF our law
makers who seem to be dead in love
with our manufacturers some how.

TO TEST A NEW GUN.
It Is One of Twelve to Be Put on the

Washington, March 20.-The cause of
the adjournment Of the House over to-
morrow was the general desire on the

Of the new 13-inch gun at the Indian
Head proving ground. 1t is the first rife
of that size made in the United States,
and was assembled at the gun shop in the

tiou case of O'Neill VS. JOY from the

business in the House, and it being CON
ceded that a quorum of democratic mem

case, it was deemed to be just as well for
the House to permit those members who
desired TO witness the test to do so as to
compel their attendance upon session
devoted to unavailing roll calls and calls
