A Thoroughly Honest Man.

I'm conversation with a politician"
said lawyer to me. Il mentioned the
name of certain gentleman. Now,
there, said the politician, lis as honest
a man as there is in town. Yes, sir,
tell you, he is the straightest man l
know. He is white, he is. You need
never be afraid of him beating you, for
he is honest to the backbone. When
you buy his vote, you may be sure he
will do as he promises. If he happens
to find out that he cannot carry out his
contract, why, he won't pocket your
money and say nothing. No, stree, he
will give your money back to you every
time. Now, that is what call an hon
est man. louisville Courier-.Tournal.

Mines of Petrifactions,

North Colorado and parts of Wyoming
and Montana are genuine mines of pet
rifactions. There are petrifactions of
every kind, including many varieties of
wood, ferns and plants, fish, toads,
snails, frogs, serpents, shellfsh and OBJ
jects which cannot be classified. The
deposits often occur in layers, as though
some great natural CONFUSION had de-
stroyed the animal life of whole dis
trict at once. The scientists make very
few and tolerably weak attempts to ex-
plain the singular phenomenon, and the
fact is evident that they know no more
about the matter than do the men who
pick out the best specimens and sell
them to tourists. Chicago Herald.

NEWSPAPER FARMING.

Come, all We lowiy farmers.
Come, all ye granger folk.
Who in the cultivation
OF wheat have gone dead broke;
Since in the rural precincts
You cannot find your luck,
Come here and learn the secret
OF making garden truck.
High up above the pygmies
Who rush along the street
There tolls a gifted worker
Upon a morning sheet.
All night he looks at copy;
All night he handles news;
All day he sweats his thinker
And much of wisdom brews.
He grieves to think that farmers
Should play losing hand
At blowing UP the bosom
OF unresponsive land,
And in his grief he murmurs,
with crops diversified
The farmer would be in it,
With fortune for his bride"
So come, ye lowly plOwmen,
Who thirst for something good,
And learn the golden secret,
For be it understood
That here we have a writer
Who deity does the trick
OF making country butter
BY the paragraph or stick.

Stale Bread,

1t is generally supposed that the stale
ness of bread arises from its becoming
actually drier by the gradual loss Of wa
ter, but this is not the case. Stale bread
contains almost exactly the Same pro-
portion of water as new bread after it
has become completely cold. The change
is merely in the internal arrangements
of the molecules Of the bread. A proof
of this is that if we put a stale loaf into
closely covered tin, expose it for half
an hour or an hour to a heat not exceed
ing that of boiling water and then al
lowing it to cool, it will be restored in
appearance and properties to the state of
the new bread.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Not That Mr.. Sax.

The death of Adolphe Sax, the famous
but unlucky instrument maker, recalls
an amusing anecdote of Xavier Mar
mier, a good natured old Academician,
who was constantly being victimized by
literary impostors. His housekeeper,
who did all she could to guard him from
these importunate visitants, informed
him one day that a stranger wanted to
see him, ON which the following dia-
logue ensued:
"Who is it?''
''Well, he's q newcomer-that I'm
sure of, for I've never seen him before.
Shall I send him away"
''Did he give his name?"
Eyes. A Mr.. Sax-something or
other
"Well, Annette, I don't want any
Eombones, but I'll tell him SO myself

Accordingly the good Annette reluc-
family ushered in the stranger, who
turned out to be no other than the reign

What a First Class Fare Means.

There are some people who imagine
that wealth entities them to privileges
not accorded to the general public and
exempts them from obligations and rules
that others are disposed to obey. An Incl
dent which occurred on one of our ocean
steamers conveys a wholesome lesson to
the purse proud contemners of the rights
of the majority. A family of unlimited
wealth had secured the best accommo-
dation the steamer afforded.
The gentleman and his wife kept them
selves secluded most of the time, but the
children were allowed to run wild over
the steamer until they became such in
tolerable nuisances that the captain was
spoken to, and he gave the youngsters a
severe reprimand. This reused the in
dignation of the mother, who remarked
to the captain that as she paid first class
fare she thought she was entitled to
first class privileges. ..,
Madam" said the captain, FIRST class
fare means first class conduct" There
was no further protest. Tit

why You Should Vote with the
Peoples Party.

The Democratic sugar planters
of South Louisiana say that it
would be useless absurdity to
elect a Democrat to congress indi-
vidually pledged to support any
measure that is not incorporated
in the Democratic platform. But
in order to get protection, a straight
out Republican must be elected on
the Republican ticket, and for that
reason, it is necessary that they
the sugar planters) 90 into the
Republican party in order that
their congressman may vote for a
Speaker of the House friendly to
their cause, and may also keep
from under the influences of Dem
ocratic caucusses. Now this is eX-
actly what we have been telling
our friends who agree with us in
our principles, but contend that the
reforms we advocate should be car
ried out in the Democratic ranks.
This is a mistake, the Democratic
party of to-day is opposing an in
crease in the circulating medium,
and therefore to send Democrat
to congress who will have his hands
tied by Democratic caucus, both
as to the election of Speaker and
upon all questions, would be an
absurdity.
This is a serious question, and
we trust all those who favor re-
form will carefully consider it, and
vote for man who will not have
his hands tied by a caucus of men
who now lead the Democratic party
of to-day.

CANE RIVER, Sept. 10, 1894.

CANE RIVER, Sept. 10, 1891.
ED. PoPULIsT:
In the Enterprise of Sept. 18th, l find
the following: "On August 2Sth, 1893.
three of the ten Populists in the House
voted with the Republicans against free
and unlimited coinage of silver, at the
ratio of IT to 1, and seven, headed by
Pence and Simpson sat in their seats and
declined SO vote"
1t seems that the Enterprise wants to
unfairly create the impression that the
Peoples party is opposed to free silver.
The Peoples party is advocating the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one, thereby maintain
ing the ratio that has been successfully
In use for the period of eighty years,
from 1892 to 1922 and has always serv-
ed the people faithfully, and for this ra-
ito (I6 to ~ the Populists voted solidly.

Coming Out at Last.

Mr.. Kernochan, leading Demo-
crat of the State of Louisiana, and
one whom-we suppose is good au-
thority, publicly stated in speech
at Point a-la-Hachi, that the Demo
cratic party ''took away without
conjunction, the bounty fairly
earned by our (the sugar planters)
solemn contract with the govern
ment, but gave bounty by way of
tariff exemption to Hawaii, of over
$4,000, 900 year." Our readers,
no doubt remember that Haver-
meyer, king of the great sugar
trust, has controlling interest in
the production of sugar in Ha-
waii, which accounts for his ma
king such heavy donations to po-
litical parties to influence legisla-
ton. This bit of information
would never have been made pub
lie had not the Democrats fell out
among themselves. Go on gentle
men, We are anxious to hear from
you. Now We want to- ask all
thinking men to seriously consider
these questions what hope is there
for this country so long as such
conduct is permitted Z If this is
Democracy, God deliver this coun-
try from any more of it.

Attention Peoples Party Men !!

We here give the resolution by
which the Democratic party has
fixed the status of its voters and
say that it is the same old political
feat that has controlled the people
by the use of the party lash for the
last twenty-five years. We want
to ask the people of this country
to look at the absurdity of going
to a primary election and obligat-
ing yourselves to vote for a man
when you have not the remotest
idea who he will be. We ur-
gently request all those who desire
to be in a condition to exercise
their freedom on the day of cleo
ton to stay away from the polls on
the 9th day of October, 1894. In
order that all may read the -resolu-
ton, we print it as follows:
4TH RESOLUTION.
That only known white Democrats,
who are qualified electors, under the
laws of the State of Louisiana, and who
will support the Democratic nominee
for Congress of this primary election
shall be entitled to vote in said primary
election.
We want all Peoples party men
to read it, and advise others of the
great importance of this question.
Let us go to the election in Novem-
Der next as freemen, not tied hand
and foot.
