The Louisiana POpulist.

The first two issues of the Louisiana
Populist, lately established at Natchito-
ches, has come to hand. 1t is under the
editorial management of Messrs. M. F..
Machen and II. l.. Brian, both well known
to this community, while the mechanical
department is gotten up in neat and at
tractive form by Mr.. W. Fl. Latham, a
compositor Of skill and Judgment. It's
editorial holdings, we imagine, can not
prove as successful as its mechanical get
up, for the reason that they are based too
much upon governmental paternalism,"
an idea that can not obtain In American
politics. Its editors are pretty good fell
lows, and, admitting that they have no
Interior end in view, are laboring under
a delusion. We shall be pleased to ex-
change. it only to watch the process of
evolution by which they will become suf-
ficiently educated" to finally find out
the mistakes under which they labor.
The Populist grandiloquently amour
ces that, "the Peoples party has set on
foot system of education that VIII obvi-
ate the necessity for DISTINGUISHING the
American citizen" We have patiently
read through several columns of the Pop
ulist trying to get an idea of its political
economy" but find nothing except the
complaining, fault finding, communistic,
socialistic doctrine of iconoclasm, that
would tear down and uproot individual
and corporate rights, overturn usages and
tried rules, and destroy that protection
that the government assures to each and
every law-abiding community and inter-
est. The theory that the farmer and the
laborer has any rights separate and apart
from the rights of all the people, of any
and all other callings, is fallacy and
cannot obtain foothold in any reason
ing mind. Those who advocate it are
woefully mistaken in their IDEAS of the
country's needs, deluded as to their abil-
ity to reform established political condi-
tions, and only create discord by dividing
the people into opposing classes.

our Populite exchanges are publishing

who are quitting the Peoples party in dis

@. L. Longcroft. the prominent Populist
leader of Coifeville, Clark county, Ala
bama, one among the many who have
lately returned to the Democratic fold,
who comes out in bold and manly open
letter and gives his reasons for returning
to the party of his fathers. He states
that he found the Populist party to be
made up of three classes of people, delud-
ed innocents, chrome Office seekers and
dangerous Anarchists. That instead of
being the friend of the poor man, the
Populist porty is a deadly menace to this
government

Primaries Decided Upon.

The Democratic executive COM
mittee of the 4th Congressional dis
trict, which met in Natchitoches on
the Sd instant, have decided to NOM
mate a candidate by a primary
election, to be held October 9th, a
maj r.ty of the votes cast to nom-
mate. In case no candidate receives
a plurality of all the votes a second
primary is to be held October Goth,
between the two highest candidates.
The Peoples party had commit
tee present, with a proposition to
hold a primary, in which no negroes
were to be allowed to vote, to de-
eide upon a Congressman. This
proposition was declined for the
reasons that the committee had no
such power, the time was Too short,
and such an arrangement an i'm
proper ignoring of party principles.
The election is to be held under
rules similar to the last Democratic
primary. We will publish the pro-
ceedings of the committee and the
rules next week.

Senator Faulkner, chairman of

next House will be Democratic,
with safe working majority. He
thinks favorable reaction has TAX
en- place all over country toward
the Democratic party. Senator
Faulkner is right. The American
people have too much good sense to
be bamboozled by political mounte-
banks. They take little stock in the
so-called "free silver" discussion,
and are not to be mislead as to the
responsibility of the Republican
party for the depression that came
upon the country. They see the
dawning of brighter day, and are
satisfied to await its coming under
Democratic rule.

financial policy of the government,
is not only disingenuous, but is the
