the various ailments of children said ::
"When my children have Group there
is only one patent medicine that l
ever use, and that is Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t possesses some
medical properties that relieve The III

opinion, the best cough medicine in the
markets, If this remedy is freei,

Rule or Ruin Policy.

Below We clip portion of a strong
editorial appearing in the States,
under the heading of Anything to
beat the Democratic party and re
gret that we have not the room to
give the entire article to our readers.
Ii is very strong and shows what
Judge Ganby and his crowd are
trying TO do With the Democratic
party:
Now, what is the secret of this
Inconsistency in man who SC
abhors the political crime Of incon
sistency? Perhaps after all there Il
really no inconsistency. Apparen
Inconsistencies sometimes comhln'
to the most consistent ends. III

him in 1895 are entirely Jeconcilabl

with our consistent desire to sustain
what we believe to be the supremacy
lof the democratic party and the
white man in Louisiana. The ~
con lstency Of our old friend equally
tends 10 the destruction Of the Dem
ocratic party and the erection OF a
mongrel government and party IN
the State. In 1892 Judge Gunby
ard bis following swore that Nc
Every must be beaten even II to 40
it the Democratic party were de.
feated, and they now swear that II
! Foster is re-nominated they Will
smash the party if it be necessary to
defeat him. Anything to beat the
Democratic party IN 1892 was the
CRY of the Gunbyites and it is their
cry in 1895.
| In this the Judge is entirely con-
sistent. He has long claimed to be
] a Democrat, though for several years
| he has been the ardent champion OF
/, | all the wild vagaries of the Populists.
| He has been the ardent supporter OF
| the sub-treasury scheme; he has be-
lleved in the government ownership
of railroads, telegraphs and tele-
phones, and be belongs to that ex-
IRENE and fanatical wing of the free
sllverites who promulgated the edIet
that every sound money man III the
. Democratic party ofLouislana should
!, be ostracized and kicked out OF the
|, party. A man may believe in the
principles of the Populist party OF
!. the Republican party while shouting
/ from the by-ways and the housetops
81 am Democrat" bat when the
? issue comes, when the lines are
r drawn. he will, if he be an honest
| man, and we know that Judge Gun
by is an honest and incorruptIblt
a gentleman, 90 where his principles
q logically carry him; and Judge Gun
e by is a Popnlist in principle just al
e surely as we ale a Democrat IN prln
e chile. The time has come for hin
!. to show his hand, and he is leade
a in line of policy that is certain, l
y confined, to disrupt the Democra'i

The Basis of Appointment.

The river parishes of the fifth
congressional district and all others
in like case should take steps ID
their coming parish conventions to
emphasize their disapproval and DIS
sent from the present basis of appor-
tlonment which accords them prac-
tically no representation III state
Conventions and party councils.
While the Gazette took occasion
some lime ago to express the view
that so far as the pext State conven-
ton is concerned the State Central
Committee was without power to
change the basis of apportlonment
as fixed by the primary election OF
March. 1892, we held then and still
hold that the matter ct representa-
t,on in the future could and should
be fixed by that convention.
What that basis of representation
should be ought to be easily settled
in a Democratic convention, where
a shirt of fairness and justice to all
Democrats should and doubtless VIII
prevail. -.
Approaching in such spirit this
question, which we admit is not free
from difficulty, we believe that al
spportionment based on population
would be fair to all sections of the
+, State and conduce to harmonious
| and inst settlement of this vexet
. question. :, ;.
!, 1t is the basis which prevails IL
!. the National Democratic Conven
: ton and in many of our sister States
> It is a basis which has prevaile'
for some years IN the Fifth Congress
s,onal District and which we believ
!. is perfectly satisfactory to the part
d IN that district and has done niue
S to avert party discord and party dis
aster.

The vicksburg Post says that
.sShreveport banks are advancing 8
cents per pound on cotton, showing
their faith in an advance on the
staple. This has resulted in that
city having the largest stock on hand
of any city of It's size in the country.
Similar actions by all the interior
markets would soon send cotton to
10 cents, the expected January
figures.
