ragged feelings were appeased. Judge
E. W. Sutherlin, of Mansfield, an
other one of those highly respected
men who went through the woods of
North louisiana bIeating like wean-
ed calf because he had been lisfran-
chised as a McEnery man. It would
strike the average man Of proper
sentiment, that Judge of the Court
ofAppeals should be above dabbling
in such politics, but the Judge amt
butt that way. And by the way, did
the Popnlists hear Sntherliu's NOM
mating speech at the Shreveport con
vention? If they did. they cannot
hold up their hands before the world
and not resent 1t.
There are others we opine but tkose
few are enough to damn Blanchard in
the eyes of the Populists, if the gen
tleman himself was not enough OBJ
iectionable, and we ask the Populists
what chances they would have for
representation at the polls
and a fair count IF their
destiny lay in the hands Of j NJ. Eos
ter, n. G. Blanchard, b. W. Suther-
lin, John G. Pugh, John Fitzpatrick
and A. Nj. Hewitt?
What can N. G. Blanchard and
the Populists have in common, except
it may he the desire of both that
Blanchard shall be their master and
sovereign?
No, the Progress believes the Popu-
lists have either been misquoted or
maligned. 1t does not believe that
they will display SO little manhcod,
will show so little of self respect, be so
lost to dignity ana self-esteem as to
cast their votes or support for New
ton G. Blanchard, who has ever re
garded them as vassals fitted only to
do his bidding as servile lackies and
tolerated by him as such, only.

Precincts, that the Popullsts, or some
of them, will eventually throw their
votes and influence to Blanchard
when it becomes definitely settled
that their champion, Captain Pharr,
cannot be- landed. This rumor The
Progress believes is illesitimate and
an unjust REFLECTION on the manhood
and spirit of tire Populist members
Of the Legislature, and their leaders.
For the Popuists to vote for Blanch-
ard would be a display Of meulal
homage which would forever stlgma-
TIE them with contempt and disgrace
IN the eyes of the manly, independent
and honest world.
Blanchardism and Populi5m are
as inimical as oil aud water. and will
no more form a compatible mixture
than will fire and powder.
There are many reasons why the
7. puIists cannot vote for Blanchard
and maintain their self-respect in the
political and even physical world, or
expect to be indor5ed or even toler-
ated by their leaders and rank and
file.
First, what ls his position in rela.
ton to those vital measure which are
the essence of the Populis,'s secession
from The old parties, and the orgsni-
cation of another, now denominated
the Third Parry? He claims to be
for the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver in the ratio of 16 to |. As
matter of fact be has always or
nearly 80, advocated and voted that
way. But has anyone ever heard
him denounce Cleveland for having
deliberately demonetized silver and
entailed on the government useless
Indebtedness of about $75O.000,OOO
by his various bond issues? If there
be one, let him speak out. Not much.
He is our President declares Blanch-
ard, thus showing that be snbordi-

seemed to recite the story: that
there had existed Il bad feeling be-
tween Neff and Ellinger for some
time because of the arrest by ELL
niger Of Neff's son some time ago,
and the matter costing Neff som
S35. The threats were that he
would get even with Ellinger. lie
afterwards learned that Ellin ger
was carrying revolver, nd
threatened to have him arrested
for carrying concealed weapons
Ellinger was much concerned IN
the matter and offered Npff Sl5 if
he would not prosecute him. Ncf
through Mr.. Conrad agreed to ac-
cept and did accept the money
givinSa receipt there for 1t was

ofMr, Ellinger was intentional to
arrest money from him. The case

DISCOV e RY

Many years ago Dr. r. v. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, ~ Y, conf
pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi-
ents which had an especial effect upon the
stomach and liver, rousing the organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying and
enrichng the blood. BY such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
pnte blood; they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive can run with
out coal You can not get lasting cure of
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti-
ficially digested foods or pcpsin-the stotn-
ach must do its own work in its own way.
Do not put your nerves to sleep with So
called celery mixtures, 1t is better to 90 to
the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve
cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousncss and Nervous At
fcctions, such as slecplesSnes9 and weak,
nervous feelings are completely cured by
the Discovery" It puts on healthy flesh,
brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the
whole system.

Not Good AZ Arithmetic.

Mr.. Frederick Locker Lampson, an
English poet, in volume Of "reminiscences
entitled "My Condolences tells a Curl
GUS story of Dean Stanley, in illustrations
of the deans difficulties with numbers.
Mr.. Locker-Lampson, who was a connec-
ton Of Dean Stanley's by marriage, once
told him how the composer Halle's cook
had bought lottery ticket with the num-
ber %.
II had dream, SIR" said the cook,
"that made me buy that number. Idream-
ed the number z; I dreamed 1t three times,
and as three times make 23 bought
that number. ="
When Mr. Locker-Lampson had con-
cluded this story, the dean did not laugh,
as he was expected to. Instead of laugh
a wistful look was observed on his face, as
If he would like to know where the joke
lay.
"Then suddenly, for he was very
quick, "says the narrator, "his face bright
ened, and he said, but not without shad-
ow of detection: 'Ah, yes, see! Yes, I
suppose three times are not 23.'"
