POLITICS BUSINESS THIS YEAR

A recent press dispatch from Can ton. Ohio, the home of Major Mckin- ley says:
 The local democratic leaders are viewing with alarm that is at once pathetic and ludicr0us, the devotion of Canton to Mckinley. They hear on every hand from citizens who have been democrats all their lives such talk as this. "Well, if the Major Is nominated, he's going to have my vote Al q mine, too, for the honor of Canton.n And mine for the sake of the family: it's family that we ought to be proud of" These expres- sions are not invented. Veteran dem ocrats tell the Major to his face with out fear Of listening by-standers that they not only would vote for him, but would work for him.
 The leaders see the lingering mist of democracy in Stark county slowly but surely vanishing before the Nc Kinley sunburst. They have issued in a democratic paper pitiful appeals to the Cantonians. They ask what's the use of a. democrat voting for a re- publican simply because the republi- can is fellow townsman. tonces- sions to popular feeling are made in a paragraph praising Mckinley as a ''good fellow and model citizen. " Then comes the inevitable but" It is agreed that all the good things said about the Major are true, but, say the expostulators, "business is busi-- ness and sentiment is sentiment and politics is politics"
 No doubt the good democrats of Canton, like thousands of others, req lize that this year "politics is busi- ness, and business is politics"

A Wild and Woolly ASS.

The aggregation Of ignorance and in
science that hashes up the filing that
goes for editorial matter in the Peoples
Demands, came out last week with a
couple of labofed efforts, in which he
deliberately avoids all decency. and with
ont attempting to show any error or
falsity in a couple of extracts from The
CHRoNIcLE, calls upon US to acknowledge
that we have "lyed."
The inference is pretty fair that little
notoriety is desirable, by provoking a
personal encounter with shis editor, or
no such brutal blackguardism would
have been written or printed. We feel.
however, that we are not called upon to
dignity an emanation from such source
with serious consideration.
A gentleman of world wide reputation.
whose character for fairness and chivalry

fronted by bully. with the remark, II

With Chesterfeldian politeness the
gentleman stepped to one side, and, tip
ping his hat, replied, II always do, sir"
So. in this case, relying upon our record
of always being right, if we know it, we
can afford to allow an unbiased public
to pass Judgment, without attempting
vindication in our own behalf.
1t is hard to Judge what is proper in
such cases; but of one thing we feel GER
tain. and that is, that all fair-minded,
thinking men are put to their Wits end
to determine whether tho editorials in
the Demands are evolved from the brains
of dishonest knave or an ignorant fool,
who has not the capacity to state a pro-
position or argue from given premises,
bat must descend to insolent personali-
ties, simply because he has no concep-
ton of what constitutes impersonal,
honorable journalism.
The proposition to bet our outfit
against his, that the large majority of
the people of this parish will not vote
against the suffrage amendment, il about
the silliest proposition we have ever seen.
Our contention is that the large majority
should and will vote against il, and we
have no desire to bet against our belief
in the matter. This. however, does not
preclude our ridiculing the new found
love for the negro just now being pre-
tended by the Populists.

According to their svowed organs, the

resoluted about the Democrats combin-

repeatedly protesting their determine
ton to steer clear of all dickers with any
and all politicians of the old school; and
in theirlocal affairs contending that only
whites shall have a voice in naming their
tickets, while the blacks must only vote
for them. But all of these things are
denied, now that they see they have no
show in the world except by inst such
combinations. Some Of the writings Of
the Populist editors last summer, and
the written expressions of Mr.. Fortson,

show this fact, despite all protestations

Judge George Wear.

In the usual column for announce
ments our readers will this week find the
name of Judge George Wear. who is a
candidate for reelection as Judge of the
4th Judicial District It gives US pleas
ure to present his name to the voters OF
this district, because we know they take
q pride in his ability and sterling quail
ties, and repose confidence in him after
having tried and proved his integrity.
His record as judge for four years past
is well known to all, and there is no need
to con it over, but as many new corners
as well as older citizens will perhaps be
interested in his history. we will give a
brief resume of the same.
Judge Wear is native OF South Caro-
lima, and in early manhood entered the
Confederate army, serving in the cam
paigns in Virginia and Tennessee. and at
the close OF hostilities came to Louisiana
where he has since remained. He settled
in Caldwell parish in June, 1865, where
he worked upon farm until 1853, study
ing Law in the meantime, at night, and
at odd times, as opportunity offered.
About this time he was appointed clerk
of the court in Caldwell parish, where
upon he began in earnest to study law
and fit himself for the bar, to which he
was admitted in 1871. He was appointed
district attorney for the them 18th dis
trict, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr.. s. M. Brian. to which he
was elected in the general election, and
reelected in 1884 and 1888. His faithful
and Jealous labors of over eight years
won the confidence and esteem OF his
felIow-citizens, 80 that upon the death of
Judge Bridger in 1890, his appointment
as Judge was urged and accepted, and he
was elected to this Office in the fall OF
1890, and reelected in 1892.
The people of Grant parish are &C
quainted with him from the last date up
to the present time, and we feel safe in
saying that their esteem of the man has
grown with their acquaintance. Digni-
fed, quiet firm and gentlemanly in his
demeanor, clear-headed. dispassionate
and just in his rulings, he is the beau
ideal for a judge, and we feel confident
the people OF the district will retain his
services upon the bench, which he has
filed with so much satisfaction.

The Cowardly Politicians.

The curse OF this great and glorious
country Of ours for the past few years
has been the contemplate cowardice Of
our politicians. The debate over the sill
YER question in the balls of Congress
within the last few days has developed
the pitiful spectacle OF senators voting
for the free silver folly. in direct opposi-
ton to their own convictions, simply to
satisfy the mad clamor of their constitu-
ents. These political truckers are not
alone TO be found in Congress, but we
have them in all the States, and in all
departments of the State. Here in
Louisiana we know three or four grave
judges who are deliberately catering to
popular prejudice, and aleo some editors,
who certainly know better, who have
joined the 16 to hue and cry. because
they believe it will be most profitable to
themselves to do 50.
We are happy to note many new and
influential recruits for sound money and
common sense, and the days Of the trim
mers are numbered. In the debate in
Congress, such men as Vest and Hall, OF
Missouri; Towne, OF Minnesota; Patter-
son, of Tennessee; Catchings, of Mississ-
ippi, all of them late converts to reason,
have added new lustre to their names by
their patriotic and statesman like posi-
ton on the financial question. Mr.. Hall,
in particular, who halls from the State
of blatant Silver Dick Bland, is one Of
the latest converts, and is q power both
in argument and invective. Here is the
way he roasta the fraudulent politicians
who are SO cowardly and insincere as to
advocate policy they know to be un
sound:
IF l were called on to-day to define
what / regarded as the greatest crime
and curse threatening to sink American
institutions. ! should reply in one SEN
tence, The cowardice Of our politicians,
Of the men who have not the courage.
the manhood, the grit to go before the
people and tell them when they are
wrong upon these great economic ques-
tions' / am credibly informed there are
eight senators at the other end of this
capitol who voted for this bill who say
that they believe the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at 16 to / would mean
national bankruptcy and ruin. What
does it mean? 1t means that our poiiti-
clans have come to pretty pass, when,
in order to feather their own nests, in
order to hold themselves in office, ma
tional, state or county, they are willing
to see great number OF men, who have
not the time to delve into these ques-
tions, turn their backs upon their own
welfare-when they are willing to close
their hearts to all gratitude for past fa-
vors and tell those what really leads to
their destruction leads but to prosperity
and happiness. am convinced that the
greatest curse that besets our country is
the cowardice OF our politicians, who
have not the courage to tell the people
when they get wrong on these economic
questions. know that it is regarded as
Q political death for q man in a rural
district not to throw up his hat and ap-
plaud these delusions, but if my consti-
tuents want man of that kind to repre-
sent them they can get rid OF me, and
will willingly and gladly retire from pol
itical life."
