When We Are Dead.

will shine in the sky, and the earth
will revolve on its axis, just the
same Seasons will come and 60,
men and women will keep on marry
ing and being given in marriage,
the places of business will resound
with the tumult of contending
voices, and the halls of revelry will
echo to the strains of sweet music.
The husbandman will continue to
SOW and reap, scholars will pore
over mighty volumes, and politi-
clans will scramble for Office, and
all things will 60 on as before. Our
absence will not stop a single wheel
in the vast machinery. For a little
while, some kind hearted friend that
was good enough to love US in spite
of our faults, may visit our graves
Occasionally and moisten the flowers
with tear, that the same loving
hands planted there, but even this
will soon cease.
The little children that we have
so kindly and tenderIy pressed to
our hearts. will become absorbed in
other interests and forget to men
ton our names, or remember our
faces.
In very short time all traces of
our presence here will have vanish
ed away. But let us not be careless
as to how we dcport ourselves while
here. Remember, we are bearers of
trust, and have duty to perform
toward our fellow man, and the
main thing after all, is to do our
duty in the sight of God, so that
when we 60 hence, we may enter

Free silver men will be in control
OF the Convention. Democracy will
continue to stand by the people and
the platform will be such as will be
for the interests of the masses.
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1896-06-11

The Chicago platform should be
so plain that any one can tell what it
means. The Democratic party must
be for the principles of bimetallism
and must be written so that there
can be no mistake. Doubtless the
Republican party will stand by the
single gold standard and protective
tariff, as that is what the rich demand.
The masses are more interested in
the prosperity Of this great country
than are the small number of gold
grabbers and manufacturers who
would be benefited by the gold
standard and high tariff. The peo-
pie have rights and they are standing
up for them.

OF Democracy. It has tided you
safely over troubled seas, through
the waves of monopoly, through
financial disasters, through panics,
has weathered the storms of protec-
ton and Republican extravaganza,
has guided you from the tyranny of
Force Bills and other un-American
measures. If you are aboard this
ship to day, stay with it. None other
has drawer sailors or truer pilots. 1t
has done more for you than the ship
OF any other party ever has or ever
will. Every stroke of its great pro-
pelling wheel is stroke against plu-
tocracy, against the increase of Fed

against the governmental policies
that build up the few to the impover-
ishment of the many. Stop not to

through which yon may pass, nor the
threatening breakers nor false lights
on unfriendly harbors. Stay with

contributed to their valor to make

in addition to the "laying of the

The Louisiana Veterans will take
advantage of the time and occasion

their beloved comrades, the Confed

Gen. Francis T. Nichols, stainless
citizen, distinguished soldier, states
man and jurist, he who led the
Louisiana troops to that extreme
limit, where intrepid valor met
death in every form, will be the
orator of the day, and the good
people extend hearty welcome to
all.
The occasion is full of pathos, and
will excite the tenderest emotions
in every sympathetic heart to wit
ness the survivors of that gallant
command which Louisiana sent to
the front in the sixties, then in the
flower Of youth, now aged and bent,
Journeying over a thousand weary
miles, and after the lapse of third
OF a century, to stand by the grassy
mounds and place last memorial
oflove and affection over the graves
of their beloved comrades, who,
after deathless feats of courage, fell
at their side, and are now reposing
upon the generous bosom of the
mother of States," far away from
home and kindred.
The General commanding feels
assured that the gallant Louisians
will not stand alone during the Ger,
emory upon that sacred spot, but
that heroes all the way from the
