NOME OF THAT 4 N

There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are smiling
as the morn
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy,
But the real angelic husband, well-he's
4 never yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted,
That when e'er their wives are absent they
are lonesome and forlorn;
And now and then you1l find one.
Who's q fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband-oh, he's never
vet been born.
SO the woman who is mated
To q man who is rated
As pretty fail" should cherish him for ever
and q day,
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect, quite, in every feature
he has never been discovered, and he won't
be, SO they say. &
The Opelousas courier., 1895-04-06
The State Campaign.

The papers of the State begin to dis
cnss the question of factional fights in
the Democratic party, which have an
doubtedly been it's bane heretofore.
The only way in which to eliminate
this spirit is to meet or a common plane
of equality and fairness ; to show an
open. generous friendly spirit. and not
conclude that differences of opinion
must be fought on the same ground as
a casus belli, to be overcome as if the
supporters of each claim belonged to
q hostile political organization and not
the same faith, and triumph was legiti-.
mate, no matter what the methods
used. Members of the same family
must agree or Disagree in an amicable
spirit, it peace is to be preserved in the
tests which have heretofore character
lied party performances have not only
disguised, but rendkred lukewarm and
indifferent the party followers. These
things should cease aud the spirit of
utter fairness rule the councils of the
Democracy Of this State. Thus only
will enthusiasm, fealty and harmony
be secured and perpetuated.-Shreve-
port Times.
The only real and logical basis upon
which the Democratic party of this
State can be permanently reunited is a
basis of principle and not Of personal
following. Whenever the political
forces OF a State are mustered to deter
mine alone what man or what set of
men must be placed in power you will
have a~Dtagonisms, feuds, sharp politi-
cal practices and civic crimes. Let tlp
Democracy of the State %enunciate the
principles Of political justice, popular
liberty, and equality of citizenship, and
it can do this by raising the standard of
q pure ballot and q fair count, and it
will draw itself strength from ele-
ments now opposed to it which will
enable it to withstand attack for all
time. Let it delude itself with the
plea that the methods Of twenty years
ago eemployed in battling with I'M
principled foes are still to be used in
settling family disputes and preserv-
ing the household" and it will find
itself relegated to the rear, where
finally all distractions to higher civili-
cation must make their way. Our peo-
pie are becoming more and more
intelligent. They read and reflect
more than formerly. They are coming
to understand that their exercise of the
suffrage privilege is not to satisfy the
ambition of some politician, but to con-
serve the best interests of the State.
The vital principle of real Democracy
is the untramelled right of every citi-
zen to vote as he pleases without moral
or physical stress or hindrance. This
is what Ballot Reform means and this
is why it should be- made the shibboleth
of the Democratic party.-Monroe Bull
letin.

"The election is a year off, Don't

their crops and have no time for poll
