order 10 abolish the fee system In the
case of United States clerks.
Mr. Henderson replied ne did not
think II would.
The subcommittee which had pre-
pared the bin. he said, did not include
clerks because clrrks were not en-
gagged in working up litigation, where
as attorneys md marshals were at
the fountain head.
Mr., Crisp CDem) Of Georgia said that

This funny and instructive book
tells in most humorous way how
the Angel of Liberty took Grover
Cleveland from the White House
in the dead of night, and left him,
ragged and hungry, in Oklahoma
City, to tramp home. Growers
trials and tribulations as tramp
are most ludicrously related, and
his conversations with farmers
and laboring men about the silver
question are very instructive.
Everybody Should Read II.

The new election law, which
goes into effect November 2, is one
OF the severe remedies to which
may be applied the old adagc of
"great evils require great RENE
dies" and one which dlsfranchises
more voters than the proposed
amendment, as all men who are so
unfortunate as not to be able to
read and write will be deprived of
their rights of citizenship. Many
an old citizen of this State who has
always rehgiously observedthe laws
of their country, and been in read
iness to defend it with their hearts
blood, will he denied the privi-
lege Of depositing their ballot in
favor Of friend or relative, of the
candidate of their choice. Men
who have tOiled since their boy
hood to help develop the country
will by this atrocious law, be put
on an equality with the common
tramp that claims no home, and
with the escaped convict, or one
that served his allotted time in the
States prison. Again since a man
who has not had the advantage of
an education is disfranceised by
the election law, and is consid-
cred a non citizen or an alien, is
that man subject to military daty9
And in case of war will he be fore
ed to take up arms for the common
defense, and will he be called up
on as a juror in his parish9 Those
are questions in our opinion, are
not easily answered, and it strikes
us that the new law is very intri-
cate one, and Will puzzle even men
possessed of some education, as we
have said already, there are great
evils that require great remedies,
but the remedy employed by oul
Legislators is one that will meet
with disapproval, by some of oul
best citizens.-Rayne Tribune.

Bemoit RenOminated.

The Populist Convention of the
5th Congressional District met in
Monroe Sept. 3rd, ten parishes be-
ing represented.
After very earnest deliberations,
evincing pure patriotism and
much enthusiasm, the convention
renominated Hon. Alexis Benoit
for congress. This was done by
reclamation unanimously. Mr. Be
mott accepted the honor in an ex-
cellent speech.
Judge A. A, Gunby. against his
expressed wish and positive in
structions, was strongly urged be-
fore the convention, which gave
him a magnificent ovation. In a
most dignifed and eloquent ad-
dress Judge Gunby requested the
withdrawal of his name, and i'm
pressed on the convention the wis
dom, justice and necessity of nomi-
mating Mr.. Benoit, who, he said,
had been twice elected to congress,
each time contesting the un-
righteous seating of his opponent.
These contests, the speaker said,
had been conceived and carried
through with much steadfastness
and loyalty ON the part of Mr.. Be-
mott, who had endured the taunts
and privations incident to them.

POputisfs United.

Hard as the Democrats have tried
to divide and destroy the Populists
in this State by impugning their
motives, and abusing and black
mailing their leaders, etc, they are
united and present a solid front
for the right.
The State convention met and
acted, and upon the only question
dividing it, voted by the almost
unanimous majority of 46 to II,
the minority yielding gracefully as
IN all democratic assemblages.
Three congressional conventions
have since been held and in each
the action of the State convention
was lndorsed, one by vote of 5S
to 25, and unanimously in the other
two, the two last expressing con-
fdencc in the ability, patriotism,
ETC., of the party management.
They arc all in favor of fusion of
the right sort and honorable, name
ly-for Bryan and Watson.
We commend this to the Times
Democrat and others who have Ia
bored in and out of season to show
that the Pops were mp in arms
against Hardy" Brian, Gunby and
Benoit, and that half of them will
vote the straight Democratic ticket.
We still assure them, also Bro.

"afeeid" that the Pops will 60 of

Capt. Jim Foster is a slick duck
or he thinks he is.
Not getting "Hardy Brian" to
bite at his fusion as quick as he de-
sired and fearing that age would
spoil its beauty, ETC., and fearing
to risk his sickness at any time
with ''Hardy Brian," who is said
to be able to sometimes see bug
under chip, this Capt. Jimmie
invented a QUIET meeting of his
own with the Pop special commit
tee of 8, with the said Hardy Bri-
an left off.
He had the cold nerve to call the
Pop committee together himself,
to meet his committee at Monroe
on the Sth inst.
We got wind of his love letters,
to other members, however-he
didn't send us one. Oh no!
1t was cute trick, but it didn't
work. Not more than one or two
of the Pop committee went E; and
Capt, Jimmie had his labor for
his pains.
We are sorry for Cousin Dan,
who, under Capt, Jimmie's orders
had to 60 all the way round from
