SACRAMENTO is being stirred up
With tale of vice that comes from
the DFphan's home. 1t is alleged
that the home is kept in filthy
condition, improper food fed to
small children and some of the
larger boys and girls found to sleep
together frequently. Governor Budd
Is sitting the case down aud there
will be full expose and the blame
put where it belongs before the in
vestigation is closed. With SO many
cases of vice and RIGHTEOUSNESS
coming to the surface of late, and
the bribery, thievery, murders, and
other fearful crimes being commit
ted now, we often wonder how much
better the world is now than it was
when God drowned it many years
ago, and also wonder if it isn't
pretty near time for him to open
the food gates again and siuice ont
q portion of the country, at least.

Few believe there will be a war
over the Venezuelan affair, though
many wish there would. Johnny
Bull has received the news Of what
Uncle Sam expects to do and have
done, in a very surly way, but it
will amount to naught, except pos.
sibly the establishment of definite
lines Of what England claims as
her territory.

AND still the vail Of despair
comes from Armenia, and it is said
the number of people massacred
has reached 100000. 1t is estima-
ted that there are 500, 900 survivors,
and they have nearly all fed TO
mountains, where many of them
will perish from cold and hunger.
These people are calling upon the
civilized nations of the world to
save them from hunger, starvation
and indignities a thousand times
worse than death. And during all
this time-and some months have
passed-England and Russia have
calmly looked upon the butchery Of
men, women and children as q mat
ter that did not interest them only
80 far as they were concerned in
keeping peace among themselves.
1t is an insult to the human fami-
ly to say that such barbarism as
is being practiced by the Turks and
Kurds cannot be stopped. Turkey
is only allowed to exist by the
grace OF England, and to think the
latter government will countenance
such horrible work is enough to
make man lose faith in mankind,
And what is the matter with this
country taking hand in the mat
ter and calling halt on the brutal
warfare of the Turk? We shall
have to fgh England before long
anyway-to gain our own indepeR-
Ounce again-and the rupture can
just as well come now as later on.

THERE is y proposition before the
House of Representatives to i'm
peach ambassador Bayard. One
Of the reasons why the House wishes
to do this is because Bayard when
abroad said that protection is a
form of State socialism that has
done more to foster class legislation,
breed iniquity, corrupt public life,
lower the tone of national represent.

What they want TO impeach man
for telling such truths for we can
not see, but when he says "a REAL
MAN, like Cleveland, is needed to
govern this country" he gives good
grounds for impeachment.

REPUBLICANS. snow YOUR
HANDS

WY are Vic 1sCpuOAAC6HD OOH-
cealing their hands? The people
gave them a large majority in the
House of Representatives not be-
cause they loved them more but be-
cause they hated Cleveland's gang
very much worse. They have prac-
tical control of both Houses of Con-
gress. What will they do? Will
they say what they will do? We
hear it rumored all about that they
have not complete power and can
not legislate and therefore they have
no responsibility. Is it true that
they have not the responsibility to
make program for the relief of the
country and publish that program
and let the people judge of it in the
next election? Suppose that the
program of Cleveland had been
known? Suppose that it had been
known that he was in favor of pan
les, bankruptcy, stagnation, enfor-
ced idleness and misery, would the
people have voted for him? Most
certainly not. He was elected I'M
der false pretenses because it was
supposed and he allowed the people
to suppose, that he was an Ameri-
can and in favor of an American
policy. After his election it turns
out that he is in favor of the gold
gamblers of all countries and partic-
ularly the gold gamblers of London.
If the Republican party does not
believe in Cleveland's scheme of
contraction, falling prices and hard
times, let them say so. If they do
believe in it let them say SO and let
the people say whether they will
give them power for the purpose Of
having new agents of an alien gold
trust to Cypress and despoil them.
We call upon the Republican party
to state what they are for, and let
the country know the legislation
they win advocate, so that the peo-
pie who vote the Republican ticket
will know whether they are voting
for hard times or not, If the Re-
| publican party is in favor of Cleve-
lands monetary policy, for which
they have almost unanimously vot-
ed, it is no better than Cleveland's
party, in fact, it is the same party.
We call upon the people to watch
closely the Republican party and
see to it, that it does not again &C
quire power through false pretenses.
Cleveland has the merit of boldness
in wickedness. He dare declare for
the destruction of all the peoples
money. He dares proclaim that
there are no rights but misers'
rights; no justice in this world but
the justice of avarice; no truth in
this world but that invented by his
Satanic Majesty. These principles
he proclsims and does it boldly
and explicitly. 1t is true, he has a
thin veil of hypocrisy. He uses the
livery of Heaven for the purpose for
which the ernissaries of the evil one
usually employ that garment But
there is no real disguise in him.
Wickedness has the same charm for
him that the fiddle had for Nero.
What the people now want to know
is what Mr.. Reed is for-whether
human suffering is as pleasant to
him as it is to his colleague in the
White House. Ifit is not, let him
say it and don't let him say that he
will not disturb the business inter
ests of the country, meaning the
business of robbing the people
through contraction ofthe currency.
If he means anything by the bust

A Composition written for Mrs. D. Newells
School, Bayou Chicot, La, March IS. 1895.
NV kind teacher and scboolmates: |
have chosen for my composition the
lofty subject OF woman" Yet | fully
realize that my most earnest e%udeavors
can never rehearse woman's deeds.
From the earliest period of this grand
and glorious world of ours, woman's in
| huence has been felt and understood.
| Confucius quotes her as being the mas
terpiece and the crown OF creation. To
her the praise belongs, of every gifted
son of song and rude indeed the pen
must be-, which cannot Wlite inspired
by thee" The grandest specimens OF
manhood that our country has ever
known have had noble, selt-sacrificing
mothers who taught them, pended at
her knee, that honesty and industry
were the paths to honor aA4fame. John
Quincy Adams declared that all he was,
his mother made him. Many a wayward
of destruction by the hands of a loving
and faithful wife, who is ever joyous by
| his side, through storm and sunshine.
Woman's talents render her capable
| of entertaining kings and ruling king
doms, while no feast or royal entertain
ment is complete without her gentle
presence. Her christianity and amia-
bility are alike felt around the sick-bed
and in the homes of the humble. Her
patience and fortitude in the darkest
hours of adversely are u%neQualed. Her
prudence is acknowledged by all, and
as a bread winner, in many instances,
| she is mans equal. Who can express
the deep emotion all must feel when re-
collection traces back our pathway
through life's weary track. A thousand
sacred memories arise, but the dearest
Of all to our hearts is that in which our
mother bears a part.
"Frcm childhood to our latest hour
We ever feel thy gentle power;
For all we are, or hope to be,
Must ever be ascribed to thee"
Man has been called " the noblest work
of God" but l think as the possessor of
all those divine attributes that consti-
tute a perfect human being woman
stands pre-eminently alone. Voltaire
says all the %reasonings OF man are not
worth one sentiment of a woman; and
Leopold Schefer, that there is but one
thing on earth better than a wife-that
is a mother.
$50 turn we now to that bright sphere,
Where all her nOblest powers appear;
The circle where alone we prove
The utmost depths of woman's love;
The sweet domestic hearth
Where we may all her quiet virtues see,
Seen in the Mother, Sister, Wife.
And to thee shall memory often turn,
AS long as the lamp Of life shall burn.
Naught from the heart shall e'er eface
OF thy loved form one single trace!
Thy lame employed our earliest breath,
And we would speak 1t last in DEATH"
Oh, il I could dip my pen in the suns
bright rays, l wogld inscribe her name
in letters of flame on the wide
expanse that surrounds this vast uni
verse, that all might see and worship
her as an emblem Of Goods divin-
est creation" Woman, oh, noble wo-
man! She was the last at the cross
and the first at the tomb!

The south,H says the Woodville
Courier, lis the place for the capital

have suffered from various causes, the
farmers OF the south have been prosper

dition Of many of their western breth-

when the farmers Of this section begin

the most contented people in the world.
