He Should Know Better.

A Populist paper of Colorado pro-
poses the following list of. names for
the party to select a presidential can
didatc from: Governor Altgeld, Mayor
Pinerce, Senator Allen, Senator Till
man, Tom Watson, Judge Caldwell, j..
c. Sibley, Governor Pennoyer, Con-
gressman Howard OF Alabama and Gen.
Weaver.
He should know better and should be
ashamed. Pingree is Republican and
has announced for Reed; Altgeld is a
collar Democrat; Tillman is an uncom-
promising Democrat, and Sibley has
never announced himself as Populist.
Our editors cannot be too careful.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

DURING our late unpleasantness the
Confederate congress (Which was COM
posed entirely OF Democrats) passed a
law exempting from military duty the
owner OF twenty slaves, while the poor
mechanic and laborer, it mattered not
if he were the possessor of twenty child
rcn depending upon him for support,
was compelled to go to the front and
fight for the rich mans slaves. The
same spirit pervades the Democratic
party to-day. Whose battles arc you
fighting, neighbor?

France Wants Treasures.

The French government has paid the
Persian shah $4,000 for the right to
dig up antiquities anywhere within the
ancient empire, and the bargain is re-
garded as an excellent one for the
western nation. Several of the great
cities of the bible lie buried there, and
archaeologists think that they contain
better treasure trove than the world
has ever gained from the orient.

How Foolish.

If you wanted to shoot man it
would be the height of absurdity to go
to the man you wanted to shoot to bor-
row money with which TO purchase a
gun to shoot him, would it not? And
yet that is what Cleveland proposes we
shall do with England-destroy our
only fighting weapon (the greenbacks)
and get gold from England with which
to fight England. Chicago Sentinel

WHEN the boys go to break a young
horse they blindfold him, and then the
first thing the horse knows he is sad
died and bridled. Just so with the
masses. The old party leaders blind
them with some imh.aterial issue,
arouse their prejudices, get them di-
vided and ride into Office on their
votes. and then vote AMI work with
and for the money power and other
monopolies. True as gospel, bud.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24
A BOYS Blunder.

An 1S-year-old youth, who was in
troduccd to Speaker Reed the other
day, said: "AIr. Maine Reed, VIC have
all of your books in our library, and L
think your Scalp Hunter is fine" The
speaker explained with some disgust
to the still moro disgustcd boy that he
wos not Captain Mayne Reid.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

The people are staggering under
debt, the country is full OF idle men
and women unable to obtain employ
ment, there is an insufiiciency of money
in circulation, prices are at the bottom,
business failures increase, and the
leaders OF the two old parties in con-
gress will not offer even to do anything
to relieve the situation.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

THE taxeater is never satisfied. One
or two terms it would seem would be
satisfactory, but there are men hold
ing Office in Texas that have been re-
elected somehow or somehow else for
thirty years. What chance has q
young man?
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

The number of failures now occur
ring, not only in Texas but throughout
the entire country, is simply startling.
Yet the gold bug fools tell us the
Cleveland Carlisle idiocy is not hurt
ing the country. Business failures are
the milestones that mark rapid con-
centration OF wealth into few hands,.

yndicate. Mr.. Cleveland replies to
he criticisms and denies the charges

senator Caffery, Did you ever smoke
rabbit out of hollow tree? Well,

'leveland out.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

THERE are many Judas Iscoriots in
this day and time, but unlike their
prototype, they are two cowardly to
go and hang themselves. Judas sold
his master; his partners in crime sell
the people to the plutocrats. But the
Populists have their eyes on them and
they are goners.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

ARE you Christian? Well, how does
this suit you? 'And all that believed
we're together, and had all things COM
mon, and sold their possessions and
goods, and parted them to all men, as
every man had need" Communism,
did you say? Read the second chap
ter of Acts.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

ORGANIZE club at your box if you

Bro. BRANN, the Iconoclast man,
said in his lecture on "Humbugs" at
Houston, that there should be never
a humbug nor a hypocritc, never a
millionaire nor mendicant on the
great round globe" to which we add
amen, and amen.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

SAY, you long, lank, lean, hungry
workingman, how long have you been
voting for the nominees of the old
parties expecting relief from your bur-
dens, which never came? Don't you
think it about time to join in with the
Reformers and help pull the old ship of
state off the reefs where she has been
driven by wicked hands?
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

The students OF the University OF
California have pledged themselves to
improve and beautify the grounds of
the institution by their own labor, thus
making improvements, for which tho
university has no money.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

G. A. CULBERsoN's administration is
only $780, 900 behind, or in other

81, 500, 600: Culberson's increase in
a little over one year is $500, 900.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

WHAT ought TO be done with man
when he knows what he should do and
has no one to hinder him, or say him
nay, and won't? Now call to mind the
Democrats and Republicans in con-
gress. They will not try.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

AND now Mr.. Carlisle comes forward
and acknowledges that the 100000
900 gold ''reserve" has never been set
apart! The plot thickens, the crime
magnifies.

A Chicago woman has riskcd her
life to save a rooster from a burning
building. The bird was hardly worth
the risk; but the woman showed her
courage, and is really something for
the rescued party to crow over.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-24

WON'T GIVE Up YEALE.
The o. M. B. and Some Others Still
Want Him to Run.

Some Democrats and Popuhsts are
talking OF bringing Colonel Veale ont
as an Independent candidate for the
legislature in the city district. They
have not yet consulted Colonel Veale,
but the talk goes on just the same.
Colonel Veale's Republican friends
say that there is no Possibility of the
defeated colonel allowing himself to
be put up for slaughter on a so-caIled
independent ticket, but there is no
doubt that the supporters of Burton
would be willing to see the colonel
make that kind of a race. Burton has
nothing to lose in Shawnee county. He
would be in no greater disfavor if he
brought out independent candidates in
each of the three legislative districts
and he might hope to gain something.
though there is not the least possibility
that he would.
Pressure viii be brought to bear to
force Colonel VeaIe into the race find it
viii come from two sources; the Bur
ton people, who would expect to get
his vote. and the resubmissionists. who
trust him. Colonel Weale was the IA
vored candidate of the o. NJ B. and
the members did not relish his over
whelming defeat by q young man who
has had little experience in politics.
