Mr.. Depew's Testimony.

1t is a matter of record that
Chauncey Depew recently made a
statement in an address to the effect
that "fifty men in these United
States have it i'll their power, by
reason of the wealth which they con-
troll, to come together within twenty
four hours and arrive at an under
standing by which every wheel of
trade and commerce may be stopped
from revolving, every avenue of
trade blocked and every electric key
struck dumb"
The truth of Mr.. Depewes decla.
ration is emphasized by recent
developments. Less than fifty men
in this country, aided by half
dozen European allies, and by the
President of the republic, have sad
died upon this people an interest
bearing debt, which by the time il
is paid, will have robbed the tax
payers of about $500, 900, 900, a
proceeding that Is as UNANIMOUSLY un
Just as if the bond conspirators had
stolen 1T from the treasury IN The
middle of the night.
The open and shameless confess
ion of this robbery has already beer
made by the bond consplrators
They know that another bond issue
pending the presidential election
would still further infiame the in
dignation of the people who have
been made the victims Of the goid
conspiracy. In order to stave of
even an apparent necessity for feec
ing the people at this time they arr
not only exchanging gold for green
backs without charge for hei
sspatriotism," but they are engaged
in the farce of importing gold.
They hope to win votes by TIL
shallow scheme and get their too

they succeed, they will have fou
more years in which to fleece TIL
people and tighten their grip on on

Secretary of State Michel has issued
a circular to police juries calling their
attention to sections SO and 80 of Act
1877 of 1896. and says: Il specially
call your attention to the fact that 1t Is
made the duty of the police juries CT
the various parishes throughout the
State to establish election precincts for
each ward in the parish and that these
precincts must be consecutively num-
bered in each ward. / beg to suggest
that your police jury at the earliest
possible moment after the 9th of Sep
TENDER, A. d., 1896, proceed to find
the number and limits of the several
precincts of your parish; that certer-
fed copy of the resolutions under the
signature of the president and secre-
tary of the police jury be forwarded to
this office. l further beg to call your
attention to the fact that the limited
time within which to prepare the differ
cnt election blanks, cards of instruct
ions, tickets, etc., makes it absolutely
necessary that this information be FUN
ished to us not later than the 18th OF
September, 1896" The information
requested by the Secretary of State is
Imperative in order to enable him to
prepare and have printed the ballots tc

Mr. 3. v. Lilly, the great hunter of
Mer Rouge, killed large bear last
week on returning from. trip 10 East
Carroll. This makes 107 bears that he
has killed. Lilly is daisy when it
comes to killing bear, deer, turkeys
aud the like. He can shoot Winches-
ter rifle faster than you can count and
on account of the lightning rapidity
with which he fires one, has exploded
several in the breech.--Bastrop Clar-
ion-Appeal.
We learn that he killed the bear
back Of Goodrich's last week. Our
friend Lilly is hard to beat as hunter,
aud it Is real interesting to listen to
him tell some OF his hunting stories.
He can't be beat, aud he will go any
place his dogs go, it makes no differ
eBce where.

The Lake Charles Echo says that
Senator Murphy of New York, who,
for years, was chairman Of the New
York state democratic committee,
and never conducted but one losing
campaign, and that be predicted a
month ia advance of the election, has
beenstudying the political situation
very carefully, and makes the pre-
diction that no matter how big the
campaign fund Mark Hanna has al
his command the electoral vote Of the
empire state will be cast for Bryan
and Sewall. Senator Murphy was
one OF the first prominent democratic
leaders to declare for the democratic
national ticket after the Chicago con-
venticn, and it is said that his in
fiuence has much to do with getting
Senator Hill aud the State organiza-
lion into line for the ticket.

VIM. Mckinley, the nominee of
the gold party for President of the
United States, in an address before
the State Leage of the Republican
Clubs at Toledo, Ohio in 1901, said
of MIR. Cleveland and his policy:
"During all of his years at the
head of the government he (Cleve-
land) was dishonorlng one of the
precious metals-one of our own
great products-discrediting their
silver and enhancing the price of
gold. He endeavored, even before
his Inauguration to Office, to stop the
coinage of silver dollars; and after
wards, and to the end of his admin
istration, persistently used his power
to that end. He determined to con-
tract the circulating medium and
demonetize one of the coins of COM
merce, limit the volume of money
among the people, make money
scarce and therefore dear. He
would have increased the value of
money and diminished the value of
everything else. Money the master,
everything It's slave. He was not
thinking of ssthe poor" then. He
had left their side He was not
standing forth in their defence;
cheap coats, cheap labor and dear
money; the sponsor and promoter
of these protesting to stand guard
over the welfare of the poor and
lowlv.
"Was there eyer a more glaring
inconsistency or reckless assump
ton? The tariff reformer has had
at last in his wild ecstacy over SO
called victory been betrayed into ar
avowal of his real design. He be
lieves that prosperity is a blessing te
be promoted and encouraged, and
that a shrinkage in the value Of
everything but money is a nationa
bcnefaction. He no longer conceal'
his love for cheap merchandise, ever
though it entails the beating dowr
of the price OF labor and curtails thu
comforts and opportunities of the
masses.

Showing an error ia the calculation Of

This, the city compress owners say
leaves an apparent difference OF only
IS cents per bale. which is further re-
duced to 10 cents on cotton sold and
delivered within thirty days after its
receipt. Of this 10 cents it is Claimed
that only 2 IL cents is charged against
the planter. 1t is held that this small
margin of difference is more Than on
set by the earlier arrival of samples on
the market. With such an uncertain
market as has prevailed for some weeks
past. when the price varied as much as
81 and 81 so per day, 2 difference OF
twelve hours in reaching the market is
claimed to be of much more import
ance than 1-2 cents per bale.

for the suspension is the so-called

ers in the country, which stated that
they were prepared 10 handle cotton
with superior facilities and at an ex-
pense of not more than one-half the

that this improved condition of affairs
had been brought about by the i'm

and in substantiation of the statement
the following comparison of charges in
the city proper and at Chalmette were
given:
