one profession has dominated both
the old parties to their ruin and
brought this country to starvation
in the midst of plenty, it is the
INSCRIPTIONS legal talent of the
country, and if the Peoples party
desires to steer clear of similar
fate it had better shut its doors
now on lawyers. 1t can do this.
and can do it only by making those
Offices which must be filled by
lawyers nonpartisan, and fill all
other offices from governor down
to constable with farmers, artisans
and trades-people.
We repeat that we believe VIM
parish has taken the foremost step
in this matter as she has always
done in the Peoples party, and
that her position cannot be success
fully assailed or gain-said by any
one, and we believe the great mass
of the populists in Caldwell and
all over the district will endorse
her action.
Caldwell populists will remem-
that it was the pioneer reformers
from Winn parish that came to
their assistance when the men who
are now trying to lead them were
burning their populist tickets and
counting out Meredith, 81. BY
HUMPHREYS and Simmons.
Those would-be-populist nomi-
nees for judge and district attor-
ney might continue their assistance
to Mr.. BOatner in his steal of Pop
ulist votes from Benoit, but it does
appear a little inconsistent for
them to be at the same time at
tempting to run the Peoples party
in the interest of their respective
candidates..

own dear useful congressman to
clear us of the charge, ought to be
hanged.
No, our congressman is right.
we are going to swing on to our
old gods and cent cotton. We'd
like to have free silver, and it's go
ing to settle itself before long, but
then we will do without that or
anything else rather than forsake
our old gods, for didn't they bring
us right down to the present timea
And how do we know that we
could navigate without theml
From the way our congressman
talks about free silver settling it
self, we are satisfied he knows all
about ''over production" "hog
and hominy," and the ''interna-
tional bimetallic conference, ''where
our good old friend of Revolutions
fame John Bull, is gong to give
us free silver; and we hope our
said congressman will interview a
Picayune reporter on these ques-
tons so we can learn something
about them without going off after
strange gods.
BY the way, this is the man
whose henchmen have stolen a seat
for him in the next Congress. Some
of the men who voted for him are
now free to admit that Mr.. Bailey
(Populist) was elected by 1000 ma
jority.
A gentleman who lives and votes
in Alexandria, said the other day
that he counted every vote cast at
that box, staying at the poll all day
for that purpose, and the total was
2S1. The commissioners returned
Stall but 2 for Ogden.
A prominent gentlemen at Lee
compile said the commissioners vo-
ted his father, who had been dead
ten years, for he saw his name on
the poll lists, and made one of the
commissioners acknowledge to hav-
ing put it there.
People are fast awakening to the
degrading and damnable effects of
such thievery and perjury, and it
will be put down. Then a man
who is so far lost to self respect
and decency as to receive stolen
goods will take a back seat along
with the thieves and perjurers who
are his partners in crime.
