Mr.. ]. w. Traer, has been in Colfax
for week past, getting up data. and
tracing maps and pIats of the lands along
the route of the proposed extension OF
the X, c., W.. & @. railway through Grant
parish, which are to be used in getting
rights of way, as well as to furnish in
formation as to the feasibility or desire
ability of subsequent changes in the line
in order to avoid lakes, bayous, etc., or
other alterations that may be thought to
be of utility and advantageous. Mr.. T.
hopes that his work may be of use, but
says that it remains altogether with the
people of this region to offer sufficient
Inducements to justify the Watkins
Company to invest capital in our midst.
The company can better afford to loose
the few hundred dollars that it takes to
make survey and canvas the ground,
than to invest many thousands of dol
lars which may be an absolute outlay of
tax and expense to then for years to
come.

|. We can truly call anything poison
that does SO much mischief in the system
as alcohol. We can truly call a man
under it's influence poisoned; and that iB
exactly what we do call him when we
say he is intoxicated.
2. And when VIC say Intoxicated" we
refer to that kind OF poisoning that affects
the brain and the nerves. There are
several things that do this, such as
opium. etc.
3. The nerves of some people feel tho
effects of the same amount of alcohol
much moro quickly than others; and
alcohol Is called a poison by those learncfi
men who have studied and experiment
ed the most with it and VINO, therefore,
know the most about it.
4. The reasons people give for drinking
are very amusing. They take alcoholic
drinks to make them strong when they
have work to do, to rest when tired, to
warm them up when cold, to cool them
off when warm, and for many other rea-
sons.
5. One OF the worst things about alco-
hol is that it makes men wicked or heIpe
them to be wicked. The most dangerous
parts Of any city are those that have tho
rum shops. The most wicked men and
women are drinking people.
q. One question we must ask before
going any further is this, since alcohol
makes such terrible mischief as we have
seen, why does any one drink il? Surely
the common sense of everybody ought to
prevent their taking such poison.

The following laughable item is
taken from the North Mississippi
Democrat: "In the course of an
exciting debate at fernando, We'd
nesday, between Hon. George Will
son and Ex-senator A. J. Nc
Laurin. Mr.. Wilson, in arguing
for sound, and against debased
money, said: II will give any man
10 cents in silver for every pound
of cotton delivered to me next De-
cember. Does any body want that
proposition?" Senator McLaurin
at once came to his feet. I'll take
it. Mr.. Wilson replied, All right,
in Mexican silver Mr.. McLaurin
saw in a fash he was caught, and
gasped, oh, no; not that and the
audience fairly roared. In Mexico
free coinage reigns supreme. Do
the people of the United States
want to adopt the Mexican policy?"

They are For Fusion.

AT the meeting of the Populist central
committee, which met in Shreveport on
the 7th instant, the subordinate divisions
OF that party are called upon to engage
In an active campaign against the pro-
posed suffrage amendment, which is
characterized as an attempt .sto rob the
people OF their sacred right and fran
chise." This is direct bid for the Re-
publican vote; and while all the Populist
papers repudiate the idea of fusing with
the negro Republicans, we notice the
Republicans are expressing hopes of
great help from their Populist allies. In
the New Orleans Republican, of August
10th, we see column article headed
For Fusion" in which interviews are
reported from Republican Chairman
Cage, A. H. Leonard. H. G. Warmoth,
Henry Demas, Congressman Darrall,
Andrew Hero. and several other promin-
emit leaders, all of whom express them
selves in favor Of uniting with the Pop
alists in order 10 get possession of the
State government.

The Rise in Cotton.

Within the last few days the cotton
market has assumed much better figures,
and the general aspect of sellers is stiff
and firm. Prices for middling rule at
about ~ cents, and q further upward
tendency is confidently predicted. It
makes little difference to our people what
brings this rise about, just 30 they get
the benefits Of good price for cotton.
Cleveland Democrats claim it to be the
beneficial effects of the Presidents policy
in restoring confidence in financial cir
cles, while the "silver-bugs" claim the
agitation about free coinage did it!
Our people may take their choice of
these theories, but here Is the way the
boss spectators at headquarters account
for the rise:
1t is estimated that the United King
dom cotton takings this season exceeds
one-half Americas exports. The exports
of cotton goods for the season to date are
29l4,O 100000 pounds, against 3,OS2,OOO,
600 pounds last season. The worlds
visible continues about 100000 Bales
larger than last year. Indian shipments
since Sept. LIST TO Europe were 727, 900
bales against 1,194 600 the previous sea-
son. The government report makes the
condition the poorest on record, 77.9,
against 63.2 in July and 918 q year ago.
Bull figures indicates a yield of only
about 100000 bales. An elastic pencil
in the bears hands indicates the yield in
about 8,5OOOO0 bales. Our Texas reports
are as varied AZ the wind. We think the
consensus of opinion indicates the crop
will equal about 100000 bales. That
no general or large movement will ap-
pear in September. That there is gen.
eral belief that the fruitage will be poor,
and the shortage will be more on that
account than any other. Our Georgia
correspondents complain bitterly OF great
destruction to the leaf of kind and ma
ture heretofore unknown. That the bot
tom side OF the leaves are covered with a
small insect which seems to give the ap-
pearance of blight. Others claim the
absence of fertilizer makes the stalk
weak and will likely cause but little fruit
to materialize. That rust and shedding
exists quite freely in the eastern tier OF
the old cotton States. That boil and
army worms, rust and blight are COM
mon, and that the nights have been too
cool. The most Of our correspondents
claim the crop continues to deteriorate
since July 81. Some of them are very
bullish and predict ten cent for cotton
Tor early spring months delivery. Prices
are now near the lowest point ordinary at
this season Of the year.

without Consistency or REASON,


The 16 to / advocates, without con.
sistency or reason, are continually CRY.
ing for more silver, when there are mil
lions of silver dollars stored in the treas
ury vaults, at heavy expense to the gov
eminent, which cannot be forced into
| circulation, because the people do not
want them, on account of their bulk and
weight.
1t is true that this money is represent
ed by silver certificates, which have been
issued by the government, but under free
coinage, such would not be the case as
the government could not then under
take to maintain the parity of an excess
slve and unnecessary coinage of silver
with that of gold, and hence would not
issue certificates in lieu of it.
Therefore we cannot understand the
necessity for the coinage of more silver
when the government has to issue paper
money to enable us to make use OF the
silver already coined. It may be asked,
why not issue certificates under free
coinage? The reason is obvious. The
government cannot undertake to guar
antee the output, when coined into
money, OF all the silver mines of the
world.
When coined and returned to the own
ers, the silver dollars then become the
property Of individuals, in which the gov
eminent is no long, interested. Neither
will they find their way into circulation
until the silver barons have been paid a
sufficient qaid pro quo for them. Hence,
1T is evident, that there IL no immediate
prospect of increasing the per capita cir
cu)ation, as the free silverites contend,
even il the mints are thrown open to the
whole world.-Alexandria Democrat.

tory, which appeared last week, says he
will advocate the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. as cardinal Demo-
cratic principle" Now, we are prepared
to welcome Mr.. Dixon to the field of
journalism, but regret that be should
labor under any such haIlucination as to
imagine that free and unlimited coinage
OF silver is cardinal principle OF the
Democratic party. We can assure him
that he is greatly in error. In adyocat-
ing free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to l he is not advocating bi-metalism
at all. but silver mono-metalism. the very
worst evil that could befall this country.

Our Washington Letter.
WAsHrNarou' A,

WASnANoxVNs aug. ~, ldS0s
When an individual attempts to break
down another individuals credit by mis-.
representing his business affairs the IL
beled individual can appeal to the courts
and by proving the libel have the libOler
punished. But the United States gov
eminent has no such redress. When an
apparently concerted attempt to injure
the credit of the government and bring
on another financial panic, such as is now
being made by those Republican news
papers which are printing sensational,
and IN many instances entirely false, ac-
counts OF the governments financial af-
fairs, the government can only appeal to
the common sense and fairness of the
people. There is nothing either alarming
or unexpected in the present condition
OF the governments finances. AS was ex-
pected the expenditures during the first
half of July were largely in excess of the
receipts. The reason is obvious. OF the
e29OO0.O00 which have been paid out
this month 81 ,000, 900 has gone to pay
pensions, about 81 900 900 to pay interest
on bonds, including those of the Pacific
railroads. and more than 100000 has
been paid out under the appropriations
made by the last Congress, which be-
came available on the first of July. Some
Republican papers, in their anxiety to
bring on another financial panic, or at
least stop the revival of business now
sweeping over the country, have gone SO
far as to say that the revenues of the
government we're falling off. Partisan
ship is no excuse for such willful mis-
statement as that. On the contrary, the
revenues are increasing, those for the
first half of July being much larger than
the receipts for the same period last year.
The U. 8. Treasury is all right, and like
~ to remain so as long as It is in charge
of Democrats.
Secretary Smith has gone to Georgia
to make some financial speeches, in which
he will tell his hearers why he lost faith
in the efficacy of the free coinage of sill
yer and became an advocate Of sound
money. He has accepted invitations to
deliver three speeches, but, as his mail
was for some days before his departure
from Washington filed with invitations
to deliver speeches in other parts of the
State, it is probable that he will make
more than that while be is about it!
