Hon. HI. w. Ogden.

In our announcement column
will be found the platform and
name of Hon. Fl. W. Ogden, OF
Bossier, who is q candidate for
nomination before the Democratic
primary of April 9TH. The name
OF gallant Harry Ogden" is we'll
known to all of our citizens. He
is no stranger to those familiar
with Legislative proceedings in the
State since the war. He is vet
eran of the "lost cause" and true
blue Democrat under all circum-
stances. His announcement is re-
ceived so late that we have barely
time to give it place, without going
into details as to his record. He
is a farmer, and is with the farm
ers on all issues. No one can read
his hearty, bluff way of stating his
position without being struck with
the mans sincerity of purpose. He
stands squarely on the Democratic
platform, and will make an able
and efficient Congressman.

: Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian
patriot, once Tin 1851 the guest of
the United States, and beloved and
honored by the fathers and moth
ers of the present generation, died
at Turin, Italy, March 20, 1894.
He was 81 years old, and died in
comparative poverty, having con-
stantly refused all offers of assis-
lance, and lived by the proceeds
OF his pen, derived mainly from
historical and scientific writings.
He lived in his latter days with a
favorite sister, and died in the
arms of his son, with the Hunga-
rian Deputy Karoly holding his
hand. He had lived in voluntary
exile for nearly forty years.

The revival of the business inter.
ests of the country has already be-
gun to show up in many branches.
The record of employees in manu-
featuring establishments shows that
$4,000 more men were employed on
the first day of March than were at
work on the 6rst day of February.
The increase among women and
children employed in the factories
on the first of March was 1850
more than on February first. All
the indications point toward this
increase being more than doubled
by the first of April.

rs 1T A NEW SCANDAL :

People are beginning to believe that
United States Senators are as ready to
be seen" as a country legislator or u
New York Alderman. Another scandal
that has very much the look OF "busi-
ness" transaction Is on the carpet In the
Senate Chamber.
Senator Shoup, of Idaho, gave notice
on Saturday of an amendment to the
Indian Appropriation biz. which II carried
would leave out in the cold the leases Of
valuable mineral lands in the Utah and
Colorado reservations held by an as
phait company and other corporations
Mr.. Shoup says that after he gave this
notice Senator Gordon, OF Georgia. went
TO his seat, told him that If the asphalt
company was not protected the amend
ment would be beaten, and asked him
TO meet Mr.. Thornton. Of New York,
whom Mr.. Shoup understood to be the
company's agent. Mr. Shoup says he de-
elined on the ground that there had al
ready been too much talk about the In
fuence of corporations on Senators.
Mr.. Gordon declares that he simply
desired Mr.. Shoup to meet Mr. Thornton
who represents a Utah enterprise In
which William r, Grace is Interested
and he does not remember that Mr.
Shoup said anything about corporations
nor was there any reason why he should
have made the alleged remark
1t Is probable that the matter wi,
come UP in the Senate to-day At al
events New Workers will gather from
the incident that eX-Mayor Grace L. mo-
80 much occupied with the subject Of
straight" State Democracy ticket fo
city and county offices this year as t,
neglect other interests.
