DEATH OF HENRY P. ALLEN.

Henry P. Allen of Kent Furnace died, Friday evening, October 23, aged 39 years. The interment waa at Good hill cemetery, Monday, the 26th. Mir Allen has been in the employ of George R. Bull & O., of the Furnace store for up- wards of II years, and his honesty ana sterling worth have made him respected by al who knew him. He leaves a wife and one daughter.
 HAD BETTER STUDY THE COMMANDMENTS.
 There has been considerable complaint this fall regarding the playing of base ball on Sundays near the station of North Kent, by young men and boys of the neighborhood and we understand that Constable Johnaou went up there last Sunday afternoon to warn them of the consequences if the course shonld be presisted in. This is move in the right direction and it is hoped that those who participate in the game will heed the warning.
 l.. D. Manchester, the plumber and stove man, who succeeded to the business of MT Gibbs, has already made many friends. He is at present putting on a tin roof on the house of Charles Eaton and has had a good run of work, this fall. Mir Manchester thoroughly understands his business, and Kent people are grati- fled that this old stand has fallen into so competent hands.
 Mr Manchester, the village plumber and tinsmith, has been busy the past week putting up stoves and repairing furnaces for people in the village and viz cinity.
 The republican caucus was held Satur- day afternoon last and there was large attendance. There were four candidates in the field for representive, but as there could be only one nominated it,was voted to put the name of Rev Thomas D. Bar clay upon the ticket.
 Monday afternoon the democratic cau- GUS was held and only two candidates in the field. The choice was made of Charles F. Kirk as nominee for repre- sentative. Both of the men nominated are representative men of the town and if it were not for party principles <and prejudice it would be hard to decide which one to vote for.

William o. Davis, who is 8 thorough farmer with all he undertakes in the pro- duce line has had so far the best field of potatoes reported. From one acre he has dug 295 bushels of fine marketable po- tatoes. It would be no exaggeration to call it 300 bushels, as a good many were dug from the same field earlier in the season.

HARD RN THE POPS.

The editor of the New Road, the
official organ of The Calcasieu Pop.
ulists, Gays:
The Populists of Calcasien parish
claim to have at least 1000 votes
and we reckon they Lave. At the
same time they seem to have a great
deal more jawbone than money. ~Df
course it don't take any money to
pay printers and feed an editor and
buy drinks and other necessities. hut
we Just wanted to mention the fact
that since the first day Of January
we have only received 1886 from
that great army of patriots in this
parish whom it ia absolutely neces-
sary for the peoples party to win in
order to prevent this country from
going to hell. If .these same patri-
OTIS had talked more with their
pocketbooks and less with their
mouths years ago the country would
not have been 10 the condition that
it is now. We have too many men
in the peoples party who want to
save the country at some one else's
expense. AS long as a newspaper
will let them dictate its policy they
will honor the editor with buckets
full Of advice-and no cash-but lei
them once do something to which
they object. and they will at once
withdraw their advice and do all
they can to try to induce others to
withdraw their patronage. We
have several dear friends of this
kind that we are laying for, and
when the proper time comes propose
to hold them up to the view of the
general public.

SOME VET.

Mr.. Cleveland must feel like
crawling into a hole and pulling the
hole in after him every time he looks
at the footing of those bond bids.
He was so afraid that the credit OF
the United States was no good that
he gave a syndicate $l0,000,O00 OF
the peoples money to float a loan OF
$62, 600 900, and it was only because
he was virtually driven into it that
be offered the present loan of $780,
100000 to individual bidders, and
then he handicapped the offer by
stating his fears that all of the bonds
would not be subscribed for and that
he would in the end fall back upon
the same old syndicate. How much
he knows either about the high
standing of the credit of the United
States, or the disposition of our PEG.
pie to aid the government and at the
same time keep our bonds at home
is shown by the figures of the bids
for those bonds. which must be a
continual nightmare to him. In
stead Of failing to subscri be for all
the bonds, as be expected, the issue
is subscribed for FIVE times over.-Ex.

Truth has always been inclined
to look upon the popuiistic move
mebt as leniently as possible and to
give the members Of that political
faith credit for being honest and
patriotic, but deluded citizens, with
no object in view other than the
general welfare of the whole people.
Now, however, when we fnd these
people, these se,f-styled Jeffersonian
democrats, acting in concert with
the vilest enemies the white people
of Louisiana ever encountered and
rallyiug under the leadership Of re-
publican candidates: accepting as
allies some of the very men who
trampled the rights OF the whites
under foot and sank the State into
ruin and bankruptcy, we are forced
10 conclude that they are about as
keen for the flesh pots of Office as
the most u~nblusbing ward boss in the
State. No doubt but that many of
the farmers who make up the bulk
of the populist following are sincere
and honest in believing a change for
the better would follow a change OF
political control of the State, but
their leaders are demagogues of the
worst type. There is nothing in
common between populists and re-
publicans but q desire for public OF
fee, and the followers of the popu-
lists will soon open their eyes to
this fact and turn against the schem
ing knaves who would lead them in
to the camp of the common enemies
Of the white race of Louisiana

Resolved. That we reaffirm out allie
glance to the t~ime-honored principles OF
the Democratic party, believing that they
constitute the best rule of action for an
enlightened people under a democratic
republican form of government:
Resolved. That we point with pride 60
the record made by the Democratic party
through the present administration,
marked by honest, faithful and business
like management of every State interest,
evidenced by the improved condition OF
it's tinances-its bonds above par; it's debt
being gradually retired: it's public lnstltu-
tionS enlarged and improved and run upon
q cash basis; its constantly growing and
improved public school SYSTEM; a com
plete levee system; its expenses Kept be-
promptly paid in cash and universal con-
fidence established and maintained; that
the management of the affairs of IL par
ishes under Democratic rule furnishes
equal source of congratulations, as shown
by the settlement of a large Judgment and
floating debt; the absence of any out
standing claims; the prompt payment OF
current expenses, as well as their matte
rial reduction; the improvement OF the
public roads, it's. public buildings and
bridges. and annual increasing approprIa-
tions for public schools, all within n be-
low the regular rate OF parochlal taxa
ton; that tie maintenance and perpetual
ton of this condition OF State and local
administration is the principal issue in
the coming election.
Whereas, there is an honest difference
of opinion among Democrats upon the
question of the free coinage of silver, BIZ
metallism and monometallism; and
Whereas, this convention deals only with
State politics; and
Whereas, the money question belongs
to the domain of national politics only,
therefore be it
Resolved, That this convention refer
this question to to the Democracy of the
State when they select delegates to the
national convention and in nominating
their candidates to the legislature, State
Senate and members of Congress.
Resolved, That we indorse and reaf1irm
the Monroe doctrine as announced in the
recent message of the President of the
United States addressed to Congress on the
Venezuela question, and that We pledge
the support of this State to all proper
measures that may be taken for its en-
forcement.

no reason for his action; but it was
said on the streets that it was owing
to the excitement which prevailed

The Democratic party Of Louisiana
has made it possible to live at peace
with the negro race. When the

now paying cash for all expenses,
nearly alpthe parishes are out OF
