The entering wedge of fatal COM
plaint is often slight cold, which Il
dose or two of Ayers Cherry Pectoral
might have cured at the commencement.
Therefore, it is advisable to have this
prompt and sure remedy always at
hand to meet an emergency.
When man is guilty of dishonest
act and chucklcs over it among his
friends he will bear watching. He may
not realize the fact, but lis friends, il
they are honorable men, are putting
themselves in the other fellows place
while the sharper is doing the talking.
The question which every white man
in this state should PROFOUND to himself
is, dare run the risk of Afrcanzing
the commonwealth For say what one
will. the fact remains that to the Demo-
cratic ticket must everyone look to per-
petuate white supremacy.-Shrevep
Progress.
The white people of the State are in
deed hard to please if they are not sat
istied with the administration of Gov.
Foster. 1t has been clean and best of
all the taxes collected from the people
have not been squandered on favorites,
but honestly expended, and some of tho

Now that the Democrats of Louisiana
have learned what sort of an enemy
they have to meet at the polls next
April it is time for them to get together,
close up their ranks and march solidly
toward victory. The rad-pop- sugar
teat-nigger combination must be met
and captured-or routed. run out of the
way. 1t is the easiest thing in the world
done when the Democrats put on their
war spurs and wade in to win.-ClaliOn-
Appeal.
y When the Populists unite with the
WRIST negro politicians of this State for
tlieespois of office, it is the duty of all
selfSrespecting white people to come
together, forget factional differences,
even forget questions of national poll
tics. and unite to beat the black horde
and their white allies.-Alexandria
Town Talk.
The political situation in Kentucky
and North Carolina should serve as a
warning to those voters WHO say they
don't care how the election goes. Good
government is what the state will con-
tinue to need, and it cannot be expected
from the enemies of Democracy. Once
the Democrats lose power in Louisiana
it will be Il difficult matter to throw off
the yoke of the combine.-Manstield
Democratic
Cleveland aroused Americas patriot
ism when he sounded the Monroe doc
trine. and he measured her confidence
and resources when he issued the popu-
lar loan call. His motives and the wis
dom nf his course were questioned in
both instances, but aside from the polit-
ical aspects of the situation, we must all
confess that he has elevated lis several
notches in our own and in the worlds
esteem, and has established incontrO-
vertible precedenA of the faith, loyalty
and power of the United States.-Lake
Charles Echo.
The record of the Democratic party
in this state Is open to all the world and
he who ruus may read. The Foster ad-
ministration has already reduced the
debt saddled upon the people of this
State by WarmotlI and Kellogg, the
very men who are nt@ trying to regain
control of the State hOvernment, by up
wards of one and Galf million dollars,
and every institution of the state is run
strictly on a cash basis. Twenty years
of Democratic rule have nearly obliter-
ated the scars left as result of radical
spoliation. The State is on the high
road to prosperity, and it would be the
most stnpendous folly to turn the hands
on the dial plate of progress back to the
black era when Warmoth, Kellogg and
their black satraps pillaged and plum
dered our fair State, coDtiscated our
property and ran rough shod over the
rights aud liberties of our people,
