Beatty's Organs and Pianos

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufactures, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home penniless
pillow boy, and by his indomitable will he
has worked his way up 50 as to Fell SO
far, over 100000 of Beatty's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to dis
hearten him; obstacles laid in his way,
that would have wrecked an ordinary
man forever, he turns to an advertise
ment and comes out of it brighter than
ever, He was mayor Of Washington,
New Jersey, from 1879 to 1888, five terms,
and recently declined denomination for
the sixth term. His instruments, as is
well known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world. We
are informed that during the next ten
years he intends to sell 100000 more oil
his make; that means business of S20,-
100000, II we average them at $4,000
each. It is already the largest business
of the kind in exitence. Write or call
upon Daniel F. Beatty, Washington. New
Jersey, for catalogue.

An Unfinished Report.

Because our late grand jury reported
that they found it hard to get at the in
debtedness of Grant parish, on account
of the keeping of the books so unsyste-
matically. the Boyce Enterprise says:
'From this there seems to be something
crooked about the way the financial
affairs of Grant parish are managed"
Not 80. Bro. Watts; the books Of this
parish are we'll kept. and there Is nothing
crooked. Our grand jury was little too
unsophisticated or indolent to make the
investigation, and had no right to report
on the subject at all without an intelli-
gent investigation. Reports of the par
ish indebtedness made during the past
few months show that it is about $1,000,
and every cent of it is legitimate and
proper, as can be verified by system
attic" investigation. We are satisfied it
was not the intention OF the grand jury
to reflect on the clerk, sheriff or treasur-
er, whose books will compare favorably
with those of any parish in the State
The trouble with them was simply that
they did not know how or were indis-
posed to make an investigation which
involved the examination of the books
OF the clerk, sheriff and treasurer, the
proceedings of the police jury. and the
stub books of the president for the past
twelve months. We outline the method
and move that it be carried out for pub
lie and private satisfaction.

JUDGE BARNES RETURN.
East, West, North and South for Bryan
and SewelI.

East, West, North and South for Bryan
and sewelI.
Judge w. H. Barnes returned
yesterday morning from Chicago,
the first of the Arizona delegates
to the democratic national con-
vention to bring back more COM
plete account of that great gather
ing than the newspapers afforded.
He held levee all day attended
by not only democrats but hardly
less enthusiastic silver republicans.
Judge Barnes is confident of the
election of Bryan whom he regards
as man especially raised up to
champion the cause of the masses
at this critical period as Lincoln
was brought forward to meet the
direct national emergency that had
then occurred since the foundation
of the republic. He believes that
the cause Of the people will be vim
dicated by the most overwhelming
majority. The silver sentiment is
all pervading. At first cloud no
larger than d mans hand is hung
only in the west, 1t has spread
until it has overcast the nation,
east and west and north and south.
The demand for free coinage at
first made by farmers and laborers
in rural communities has been
taken up by merchants and manu-
facturers and every day becomes
more urgent in the cities.
The question, says Judge Barnes,
has changed from "What states
can Bryan carry?" to "What states
will he fail to carry" There are
many sure for him, enough to
elect. Every other state may be
classed as doubtful one.
1t was feared that the enthusiasm
which prevails in the west was
local because the west is more
vitality inter ested in the success of
the silver ticket. The judge says
though that the same degree of
enthusiasm is prevalent every
where, particularly in the great and
populous Mississippi states.-Star.

1t is amusing to see the tender
solicitude Of republicans for the
Hon. Richard Parks Bland, on ac
count of his defeat at Chicago. Mr.
Bland does not need sympathy
from any source, and least of all
from men who have for years
charged him with being the advo.
cate of dishonest dollar. No
man had a mortgage on the nomi,
nation of the democratic party, and
Mr.. Bland fully appreciated that
fact when, before the convention
assembled, he authorized Governor
Stone to withdraw his name when
it became apparent that a majority
of the delegates favored another
nomination. The decision not to
nominate Mr.. Bland was not due
to any lack of appreciation of his
splendid character and services
but to feeling that Mr.. Bryan
had more elements of successful
leadership and personal popularity
than any other candidate before
the convention.-Plaindealer.

THE following is the sort of ar

"The abominable gang which

with the party which this conven-
ton pretends to represent upon the
basis on which the Chicago con-
vention enters into the campaign
of 1896. Unless the minority de-
feated IN Chicago proceed to form
a new political organization there
is in this campaign only one party
for which an elector who does not
want to supportrevolution can con-
sistently vote, and this is the Re-
