ity as to learn the Populists in North
Louisiana and Republicans in South
Louisiana a lesson they will not soon
forget-not only not forget, but from
which they will never recover.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

Our Democratic nominees, Meyer,
Buck, Price, Ogden, Boatner and
Robertson, are not allowing the
Democratic banner to trail in their
hands or letting the grass grow un-
der their feet. They arc pushing an
active campaign. They are deserving
and should have every Democratic
vote. Democracy should stand un-
broksnly by them.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

There has never been a doubt but
that Bossier would stand firm to her
Democratic record of the past, and
would roll up a substantial majority
on the 9th of November, but if every
Democrat in the parish will do his

There is no need of Democratic
revival up in this neck of the woods,
for the Democrats are wide awake
and at work. Bossier Democrats,
like vigilant soldiers, never go to
sleep on post. They will be on hand
when the polls open.

Rally to the Democratic standard,
is the watchword and the slogan
around North Louisiana these days.
It bodies no good for Bailey and
Benoit.

Democracy in the Third District
has regular campaign move on, and
everybody knows what that means
especially scallawag Beattie.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

From every direction and all parts
of the State comes the news of the
weakening of the Populists and sugar
teat Republicans and the growing
power of Democracy. The Democrats
all over the State are in the saddle
and they are of the material that one
can chase a thousand and two can put
ten thousand to flight.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

The Democrats of Louisiana are
warming up to their business in way
that means solid Congressional del
egation from the State.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

The road is open to victory, and
we are going to keep in the middle of
the road and get there on the 9Th. In
every part of the State where meet
ings have been held, but one spirit
has been manifested-the spirit OF
winning the battle. The Democratic
people have it in their hearts and they
are bound to succeed.

The Fourth District will be repre-
sented by H. W. Ogden in the next
Congress. Bailey will remain at
home to keep Benoit from becoming
too utterly lonesome.

Within five days the opponents of

Enthusiastic, patriotic Democratic
champions are working as never be-
fore since 1876. The party's banner
floats triumphatly over the grand old
State of Louisiana.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

The steam is beginning to rise in
the Democratic engine of the Fourth,
and it will roll through the District,
November 6, without break.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

The Banner hopes every Democrat
in Bossier will hold himself in readi-
ness to turn out and vote on the 9th
of November. Let us roll up fine
majority for our standard bearer, FL.
w. Ogden. This is no time for apa-
thy or stay-at-home Democrats
Stand by the nominee.

Democrats should bestir themselves
in every parish in the State. It is
not enough to elect our nominees
Let's make their majorities so over

will be discouraged in future contests.

The Democratic lion is thoroughly
aroused and when the Populists and
sugar teat Republicans hear his roar
next Tuesday they will wish they
hadn't twisted his tail.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

The Democrats are on the home
stretch this week. Populism will be
distanced, and the sugar teat Repub-
1icans everlastingly left in the lurch.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

The Democratic party is all right
in North Louisiana. Populism is too
much for even a disgruntled Demo
crat to stick to.
The Bossier banner., 1894-11-01

Let every Democrat do his duty
next Tuesday, both for the sake of
his party and the best interests of
the country.

There is no possible doubt of Og-
den's election, but the Banner wants

Following a National Precedent.

A good, honest fellow in his way was
Bill Bolts, but he had never had an
opportunity to study moral philosophy as
it is taught in the colleges and un1ver-
sites. He came from Biddeford in
Devon, and very likely some of his an
cestors had helped Drake 'wallop' the
Spaniards. He had followed in their
footsteps by enlisting in the navy to
fight for his queen and country when
ever called upon to do so.
When he returned from a voyage to
China, he brought with him a present
for gentleman who had been very
kind to his old mother during his abb
sence. It was a curiously fashioned
Chinese garment made Of bits of spec
les of straw strung together.
''Plase, sur, you must e1coos un be-
ing torn," he said bashfully when he
presented it. the Chinaman wouldn't
part with un aisy.
He had run across Chinaman wear
ing it somewhere in the streets Of Hong
Kong, and the unfortunate Celestial,
not understanding his summary request
to ''Hand that over here" he had SIM
ply yanked it off him.
To the suggestion that his conduct
had hardly been consistent with. strict
honesty he replied:
''Beggin your pardon, sur, he wuz
only haythen, an l never heard that
takin things from haythen counted as
stalin."
well, replied the friend. If many
illustrious Englishmep had not acted
on that assumption, / don't know where
the British. empire would now be, 80
I'll keep the heathen's garment. -

heart to heart, hand to hand and shoul-
der to shoulder the English speaking
world, that militarism may be obliterat-
ed from the planet, that even the prep
aration for war shall cease and that
between nations differences shall bes set
tied without thought of bloodshed as
they are between the states Of the Un-
ion through the supreme court Of the
United States. y
May God hasten the day when peace
shall rule the world, and the great
thought of an immortal brotherhood fill
the soul Of man! AS commerce is the
pioneer of internationalism, and trade
acknowledges no limitation of race or
province, may this glorious celebration
of industrial triumph be indeed the
prophecy of the final victory over every
barrier that separates man from man
and postpones the dawn of nobler life!

unity and harmony of life.
So of art. The great artists Italy has
given the world are claimed as the her
itage of man. Who cares whether Ra-
phael was Italian or Dutch, whether
Rembrandt was German or Irish? 1t
does not matter. Nations do not pos
sess such men. They belong to the
fraternity of man.
As this sense of the beautiful shall
more and mere grow to dominate life,
with it must grow the large conception
of the world life, and man gladly rec
ognizes as his own all that is beautiful
in all nations and all ages.
Let us then cease to hate one another.
Let us begin to federate nation with
nation. The American should lead in
this work. God has poured into his
veins the blood of all nations. He is
the composite man. He should lead
the way to the combination of nations.
he should begin with his own race and
language. Walk through those exposi-
ton grounds and buildings and think
what invincible power would result
from the federation Of the English
speaking world! 1t is as sure to come
as that God lives.
Well did Mr.. Mcdowell declare on
the day the Columbian Liberty bell
bade farewell to the old bell from
Philadelphia: This new bell is typical
Of the new America-the America of
the Worlds Columbian exposition, the
America of the worlds parliament Of
religions and the America of the white
bordered flag of peace. The next great
mission of the Columbian liberty bell
is to be at Runnymede on Magma
Charta day, on June Is next, that it
may there be the central feature in the
proposed celebration by all of the Eng
lish speaking race of the greatest lib
erty event in the history of the race,
the birth of English speaking freedom
at Runnymede in 1915. This celebra-
ton will be the first practical step for
ward in undoing the blunders of the
third George and in bringing together

annihilatlon Of space, which means the
free circulation Of peoples among one
another, exchanging ideas, hopes and
thoughts as we'll as the goods of COM
merce, that other epoch making fact Of
the cheap printing press run by steam,
and you are brought face to face with
the present reality Of world life that
must yet dominate sectional and pro-
vincial life.
The old hand printing press made,
with two tnen to work it, $50 impress
sions an hour. The great steam presses
now in use print, fold and paste a Is
page paper at the rate Of $4,000 per
hour, or, in other words, give Us 1884,
900 pages in 60 minutes instead of ESQ.
When man shall thus be able to know
daily the affairs Of all the world, the
whole world becomes his own. Wheth-
er he likes it or not, he cannot escape
this world consciousness with its obli-
cations and duties.
Likewise the great guns we saw on
the warships and in the Krupp exhibit
with awful lips of steel tell us of the
necessity of loving one another or ac-
cepting the only alternative-annihila-
ton.
The progress in great guns and en-
gines of war is the sure harbinger OF
world peace that will come by and by
when we have tried them once or twice.
Sublime indeed is the truth sung in the
ode by Martha Foote Graw to the great
Krupp gun, published in the last Cos
mopolitan:
Thy lips stern argument is more for peace
Than war, 0 cannon king! When thou dost
bend
Thy seaward gaze, thou seemst upon the end
OF life to brood, mans futile wraths increase.
And the inanity of battles lease.
Hadst thou to hate Of men been made to lend
Thy fateful breath, in battles din to blend
Thy voice, thou hadst long since made war to
cease.
Then stand, mute prophet at the portal where
A child's soft touch can thousands keep at bay.
Guard thou the futures gateway while the
mirth
OF :ods shall take nan's quarrel into air.
