The Irish potato crop of the world
is the largest ever known says the
Baton Rouge Truth. Europe has a
surplus for which there is no market.
The Northwestern States have un-
usual large crops that do not pay to
dig and cart home. About five
bushels per capita of sweet and Irish
potatoes have been made in Amer
lea, and both would be cheaper in
the towns and cities than was ever
before known, were it not for the
heavy freight charges. ...

A. E Fitzpatrick, of Fillmore, Cal.
had the misfortune to have his leg
caught between a cart and o stone
and badly bruised. Ordinarily he
would have been laid up for two or
three weeks, but says: after using
one bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm l began to fell better, and in
three days was entirely well. The
peculiar soothing qualities which
Chamberiain's Pain Balm possesses
| have never noticed in any other
liniment. I take pleasure in recon-
meudiDg it." This liniment is also
of great value for rheumatism and
lame back.

A l. IN ACADIA.

It is very much to be regretted
that local animosities engendered in
the hot contest for sheriff and clerk
of court the Democrats of Acadia
parish have split wide open and
send two delegations to the Shreve-
port Convention. From the evil
dence before us, we are of the opinion
that this is in a large measure due
to the uuwillingness of the Clark
Lyons faction which controlled the
Parish Executive Committee, to
submit the selection of delegates to a
primary election. Had this been
done a bolt would have been impos-
sibIe.

We are becoming very much Ia
tigue1 litening to the Incense burn
ers' whenever anybody dares to
critic President Cleveland. Grover
is a big man, both in body and brain,
bnt he is a statesman of very small
calibre. If he has ever displayed
any striking ability in that direction
we would be pleased to have our
memory refreshened. To obstinacy
and devotion to the interests OF the
Wall street gold gamblers he is a
huge success. His recent message
is an example of utter lack of states
manship. He directs public atten-
ton to the critical condition of the
nations finances but fails to recon-
mend any practicable cure. No
such measure as he suggests, the re-
tiremeut of greenbacks has the
slightest chance of ever being enacted
by the 54th Congress. He knows it
and he also knows that he intends to
issue more bonds. Just why he
should be so anxious to saddle an
interest bearing debt upon the coun'
try instead of a non interest bearing
one is somewhat of a knotty problem
to a man who fain would believe
Grover Cleveland is an honest man
and patriot.
