LADY INJURED.
Mrs. William Davis Run Down by q
Cyclist.

AS Mr.. and Mrs. William Davis were
crossing the street at Sixth and X early
last evening Mrs. Davis was knocked
down and severely hurt by the wheel
OF young scorcher. She was assisted
to McMorry's drug store and a physi-
clan called, but no examination was
made there to ascertain the extent OF
her injury, and she was taken home.
The wheel struck her on the left thigh
with such force as to knock her down
Her head struck the pavement, and but
for her heavy roll of hair the fall might
have had a bad result. AS it is, Mrs
Davis injury probably is not serious.
1t is strange that SO many youngsters
should select ] and K streets for fast
riding these nights while there are such
throngs of people and vehicles on the
street. 1t looks as if some of them al
least desire to "show off" before the
State Fair visitors.
And these bicycle riders are not alone
to blame. In less than five minutes
after the accident to Mrs. Davis man
and woman dashed up K street in q
buggy, drawn by gray horse at about
a fifteen mile e-an-hour gait. They came
near running down several pedestrians
An example should be made of one OF
these street riders that will have the
effect of deterring others from pursu-
ing the practice.

that the Populists overlooked Worden?
Shall Mr. McGlashan go to Congress
and Mr.. Worden to the gallows? Which
of the two manifested the greatest zeal
in the interest of the strike? The Gov
ernment of the United States ordered
the Pacific Railroads opened from
Omaha to Oakland. Worden resisted
this order, and he was instrumental in
throwing a train from the trestle by
which five men lost their lives. To
what length did the zeal of McGlashan
go as striker? Did he submit tamely
to the authority of the Government OF
the United States? How, where and
when did he strike? What was the ma
ture or extent of his grievance as an
employe of the Southern Pacific? What
leadership did he assume? What sac
rifice did he make? Did he lose his pay
for any length of time? Was he black
listed by the railroads? Was he made
Ineligible to further service? Did he
kill locomotives or throw rocks at scab
firemen? If he did any of these noble
and valiant deeds, now is the time to
recount them. If to have been a striker
in 1894 fits a man to be member Of
Congress, the full record of Mr.. Nc
Glashan's participation in the strike
would be most valuable campaign doc
ument at this time.
The third in the list of Mr.. McGlash-
ans high qualifications for the posi-
ton of law-making craftsmanship re-
lates to his claim that he has the unan-
imous support of the A. P. A. organiZa-
ton. Is this true, and if it is true, then
what does it signify? Is there neces-
sity just now for legislation proscriptive
of men because Of their religious con-
victions? Has the great doctrine of
freedom of conscience in America lost
it's hold upon the affections of the peo-
pie? Is liberty of conscience dead and
is there in contemplation national Leg
islation proscriptive of mems political
rights because of the religious convic-
tions they may entertain7
Mr.. McGlashan himself having de-
clared that 1t Is an important element
OF his own eligibility that he is sup
ported by the A. P. A. organization, will
do we'll to announce the particular
legislative measures which he will as an
a. p. A. introduce in Congress.
We have here then three distinct
claims for Congressional eligibility: the
driving of the Chinese from the town of
Truckee; participation in the American
Railway Union strike of 1894, and the
support Of the A. p. A. organization.
Let Mr.. McGlashan come forward now
and define clearly what measures he
proposes to introduce in the Congress
of the United States relating to these
three great public questions. What
bill will he introduce providing for the
| permanent expulsion Of the Chinese
from Truckee? What measure will he
| propose relating to the strike of 1894 :?
And what legislation will he offer pro-
scriptive Of the rights of citizens of the
United States whose guesses at the will
of the unseen Powers concerning man
| kind may differ from his own? When
| he has outlined the legislation based
upon these three pre-eminent attributes
| Of craftsmanship his constituency Will
| be in possession of the data which will
enable them to determine whether the
| Second Congressional District desires
his services in Congress or otherwise.

Another lie is nailed. For some weeks
great blowing of trumpets to call at
tention, an article purporting to have
appeared in the editorial columns of
the London Financial News" in which
it was stated that free coinage of sill
yer in the United States will ruin the
trade Of Great Britain in this country
and in all the Latin States inside Of q
year, and make the grass grow in some
streets of London. Therefore, because
it would give the United States abso-
lutte monopoly Of all such and much
other trade, the News" advises all
Englishmen to exert the utmost infiu-
ence to oppose free coinage here. Now
If this were true 1t would argue the ed
itor of the Financial News" an ass to
say it. If he really believed as much
he would have the capacity to be secre-
tive and not give the snap away. So
then the internal and external evil
dences of the thing being a fake
were patent. However, as the Demo-
cratic press and the Populist organs
have kept the article" on its travels,
and have dwelt upon il extendedly, and
doubtless with some effect, it has been
thought wise to look into the integrity
Of the article. And what is the result ?
No such writing ever appeared in the
Financial News" or any other Eng
lish journal Secondly, the editor Of

Governor Flower well said In the
Democratic Convention Wednesday
that Mr.. Bryan is the first candidate in
the history of the nation who has ap-
pealed to the passions of the people to
promote his own candidacy. He might
date for the Presidency who has not
had the courage to debate any and every
issue offered by the position of his op-
ponents. Bryan is as dumb as an oyster
concerning every plank in any and all
OF the platforms, save one. He plays
upon harp of one string and his tune
is a monotone.

HOW TO DO IT.

1t is conceded on all sides that an in
crease in the volume Of silver money Of
our own mintage that will not injuri-
ously affect commercial exchanges is
desirable. How then can it be attained
until such time as the nations agree
upon uniformity. and by international
compact consent TO free coinage un-
der such conditions as would give none
an advantage and would operate equal
ly upon all?
The way to the end desired the Rec
ord Union has already set forth. 1t is
simple, reasonable and will force into
circulation a large volume Of silver for
all possible domestic uses, and not one
whit interfere with the commercial use
of gold to the full of our necessities.
1t will create no panic, affect no cred
it's, disturb no obligations, interrupt no
commercial transactions, and not dis
turb the parity maintained between the
two metals. The plan Is in harmony
with the Republican platform and will
accomplish Ill tndL tHS iilOSC TdulCdl
Bryanites can reasonably expect
Let all silver coinage Of the United
States be made legal tender to the
extent of fifty dollars: issue no gold
paper. or anything based on gold, and
coin no gold medium Of less than $40
For convenience let a silver bill of $2C
issue Then order all the silver in pos
session of the Government to be mint
ed This will swell the volume of sill
yer to between 5000, 100000 and $780,
600 900 and augment the per capita
money to a figure that will satisfy all
needs and demands and settle the whole
| financial question outside of tariff rev.

With this issne We begin Vol
ume III of the LoUIsIANA P.PU-
LIST.
We have pulled through two
years of ups and dOwns-mostly
downs.
At times it seemed that we would
be compelled to give up the paper,
and some of its friends even adj
vised us to give it up, but with a
logged perseverance we dragged
on.
Today, the several men who went
into it with us when the "goose
hung high" have all dropped out,
and we are left to hold the bag
alone.
But the people are with it yet,
and many times they help even
beyond their subscriptions. And

Sentiment Of the Hills.

All old Alliance men remember
Mote Hewitt of DeSoto, ex-Alli-
ance sub-Treasuryite and chef De-
putty Internal Revenue Collector
under Blanchard and Grover Ii.
The Coushatta Citizen says of him :
Speaking of the political situa-
ton in Louisiana, Mote says the
Populists are not going to be led
into the Republican camp by their
leaders, but will vote for Bryan
and Sewall. Mr.. Hewitt is good
authority on politics.
Notice that it isn't Bryan and
Watson, but Bryan and Sewall
that he makes you support.
Yes, Mr.. Hewitt must be excel
lent authority on politics. Every
Populist in Louisiana, while they
have no idea of going into the Re-
publican camp which Mr.. Hewitt
knows as well as any one else, will
laugh to scorn the idea of voting
for Sewall.

POpu,ists Conventions.

Next Tuesday the 18th Congress
ional District communicating con
vention of the Peoples party
meets in this city.
Ten days later, or on Sept. 3rd,
the 5th District convention meets
in Monroe,
The 3rd and the 9th have not yet
fixed the dates of their conven-
tons, but will not be much later
as the organization in each district
is active.
These conventions are important
and every delegate should attend,
and each parish should see to il
that delegates who will attend are
elected.
Populists do not realize, per-
haps, how they injure their cause
by not attending their conventions
and other meetings.
Your presence encourages every
other man who attends, and a large
and enthusiastic convention i'm
presses outsiders and spectators
with the strength and importance
of the party, and hundreds of poo
pie will join party solely because
it shows strength enough to win.
1t will cost bat little to attend
these conventions, and there will
be much real pleasure in meeting
your brother Populists from the
other parishes, and comparing notes
and speaking and hearing speeches,
and assisting in shaping your plat
forms and naming your nominees
for Congress.
The Natchitoches Tap railroad
gives one fare for the 4th district
convention here next week, and

statement that the people of the
hills would vote the democratic
ticket. why, no, said he, We

the ticket nominated by our ma
tional contention. We could not
vote for Sewall without dishonor.
The democrats counted us out and
spurned us with their feet and we
notice they have the same old lead
ers in this parish. There has been
no change and we know they are
insincere. We woald not trust

You fool them with a division OF
