There is a point at which for
bearance ceases to be virtue, and
that point has been reached in this
State, and especially in this parish.
If nobody could have been DANA
ged but the guilty men connected
with it, there would have been a
day OF reckoning before this, but
our people do not want to do any
wrong to the innocent and helpless,
so the guilty scoundrels 60 unwhip-
ped of justice, shielded by the gar
ments of weakness and innocence
who would suffer in the event that
these men got their deserts.

II the honest men in the Demo-
cratic party-and we believe there
are many such in it, don't make the
rascals take back seat and let us
have an honest government, it is
only a question of a short time be-
fore the people will become SO ex-
asperated that there will be vio-
lence and bloodshed all over this
land. Our people are born free
men, and they will not be the slaves
of any set of usurpers.

a silver Democrat, and made
great srecch for silver in the House
of Representatives he divided his
salary as Il Congressman bet Tccn
the Knights of Labor. the Farm
ers' Alliance and the Grange and,
disguised with Cleveland Dcmoc-
racy, last year announced himself
a Populist.
One of Cleveland's cuckoos, Rep
resentativc Denny, of Mississippi,
has introduced Il bill providing for
the purchase of eighteen acres of
land at Congress Heights for a
summer home for the President.
The land is to cost 800, 600 the
building and identifying of grounds
arc estimated at $1,000, 900. 1t is
comfort to know that before Den
ny's love for Grover can'be crys-
talized into law the fat mans name
will sound like that of his cuckoo,
it will be "Dennis.
There seems to be no end to the
efforts of property owners in the
District of Columbia to sell their
land to Uncle Sam for some unnec-
cessary purpose, and each repre-
sentative elected this year should
pledge to OPPOSE such raids upon
the public purse, the more SO as
sooner or later-when the West
has doubled its population and has
a preponderance of voting strength
the capital will be removed to
some central point near st. Louis.
1t is ridiculous that it should be so
close TO the eastern shore, and poll
cy dictates that it should be ut
least one thousand miles from the
twin dangers of the republic, the
warships of England and the cor
ruptionists of Wall street.
What will be done with the pres
ent government buildings, some
may ask The present disposition
need not be changed. The capitol
building can be used for Il lunatic
asylum, the treasury as home for
incapables and the White House as
a Jail for corrupt officials.
The Butler anti-bond issue bill
passed the Senate, which shows
why the capitalistic daily press has
been bowling for the abolition of
that body. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that had there been no Sen
ate to frustate the schemes of
Cleveland and Reed, a monarchial
form of government might ere now
have replaced the Republic.
On that subject / heard sweet
scented Engllshman speak last Sun
day. He had happened to run
across reform paper, which cx-
coriated Grover in unmeasurcd
terms, out Tillmaning Tillman.
"Why blaw'st my heys," he said,

Wonder if Mr.. Denegre cannot

Wonder if Mr.. Denegre cannot
get up very nice little ground for
a contest for the Senatorial seat
from the fact that McEnery was
elected by votes of men whose
seats were contested. The law
says the party to a contest who
receives the certificate of election
shall participate in the organiza-
ton of tho House, but does not
say he shall ENJOY all the rights
and privileges of one whose right
to seat Is undisputed. If the
men who honestly were elected had
Teen in their seats things would
be different.

SIN the White House there was
a voice heard, lamentation, and
weeping, and great mourning !;
Grover weeping for his third term,
and would not lie comforted, be-
cause it was not" If any penny
a-liner ever tries to put a Life OF
Grover Cleveland on the book
market, he Will have to make the
above statement when his tale of
incompetence, dishonesty and arro-
ganee reaches the fourth month of
the fourth year of the second term
of King Cleveland.
When Grover heard that the sill
yer men would control the Ken
lucky Democratic Convention, he
must have given Carlisle dress
ing-down, for that turncoat SEEM
ed to have shrank about six inches
in height, while his face had length
ened about three inches. Since
the news came over the wire that a
storm of Kisses had greeted every
reference to the Fat President in
the convention, Carlisle has kept

around the corner whenever he

Poor Old Grover
The prospects of the silver wing
being in control when the Demo-
/ cratic convention meets, has ten
dency to restore to healthy action
the disordered liver of the average
silver Democrat. In fact, some
of those who few weeks ago were
as sad as dog who has lost his
bone, are now in the same happy
frame of mind as a negro who
watches fine watermelon ripen-
ing in his neighbours garden. How
ever, they must realize that this
uprising of the people is mainly
due to the agitation started by the
reformers who esteem principle
above party, and that the honest
voters who made their ma]orities
in the past are in revolt against
the apostate President and Cabinet
officers and the cuckoos of the SD
Congress, and that they will not be
deceived again.
| The people, the producers, mer-
chants and laborers, demand pat

If the Populists increase in the
Legislature in the next four years
in the same proportion they did in
the last four, they will only lack
four votes of being able to pass
any measure they wish, without the

BATON ROUGE, La,
June Stb, 1896.

For the La. Poruilst
If the Populist had been in doubt
about the wisdom of supporting
Walter Denegre for the U. ;.
Senate. all such doubts would now
be removed by reading last weeks
issue of the Enterprise, which pic
lures in erratic colors the terrible
overthrow Denegre's election would
have been to the Democratic party.
We knew this all along, and
hence worked day and night to &C
complish it, and it was not the
fault of any Popullst or Republl-
can that the desired overthrow was
not accomplished.
And right here we will say that
the combine of Populists and Re
publicans has proven so worthy a
foe that the ememy's steel has gen
orally glitered only from behind a
breastwork, and while the Demo
Gratis revilc us for voting for De
ncgre Zone of their own members)
they are compelled to respect us
more for our firm, united and con-
servative action than if we had
welded our manhood and our par
ty to the Filthy lucre" of the cor
rupt leaders of the present Demo
cratic party.
The Democrats caucussed on the
Circuit Judges, mostly through the
influence of j. &. Pugh, who knew
his name would be ''Denis" in Il
fair, open fight. Many Democrats
were sorely disappointed in the
result of said caucus, because Pugh
ran It and traded off the other five
Judges to land himself.
The combine though not able to
elect, agreed to stand solid and
vote blank, except for Beauregard
of the 9Th Circuit, because he is u
son of the late Gen. p. q. L. Beau
regard, under whose command ma
ny of the Populist and Republl-
can members had fought during the
war.
A we'll organized body of men
acting in the performance of any
kind of duty is beautiful to behold,
and as the combine ''tracked the
line" in the six ballots for Judges,
several admiring independents came
over and voted with them.
Forty-four members of the AL
lance in 1892 did not come as near
getting reform as the present thir-
ty-one Populist and republican
members, though pledged equally
to reform. The reason is, that
the Alliance wanted its reforms in
side the Democratic party, and
said party is pledged against re-
form; while now we have a politi-
cal party, itself pledged to reform,
and its members owe no allegiance
to another, hence are not trying to
serve two masters.
But with the aid of the traitorous
Citizens League and the members
who occupy stolen seats, the Dem
ocratic is largely in the majority,
and little good can be expected OF
this Legislature. The combine
may, however, be able to keep
down some pernicious Legislation.
1t is hardly probably that any
change in the election law will be
made, and in November every man
who desires to remain free will have
to 90 to his poll to vote with his
shot gun.
The Populists can stand this
much better than the Democrats,
as they are only fastening the
death of their own party and the
disgrace of themselves.

MUSIC FROM PORK.
Curious Contrivance Constructed bv a
Musical Genius.

Musical Genius.
During the reign of Iouis yT of
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot de Baigne, a man of consid
erable wit. The abbot was somewhat
musically inclined, and delighted the
court with inventions of odd musical
instruments. One day the King. after
having enjoyed hearty laugh over one
Of these curious contrivances and desir-
ing to battle this musical genius, COM
| manded him to produce harmonious
sounds from the cries Of hogs.
This seemed to be an impossibiIitv to
the King, and he prepared himself to en-
joy the discontinue of the abbot. Much
to his surprise, however, the abbot read
lily agreed to produce them. All he re-
quired was a sum of money, upon the
receipt of which he declared he would
| invent the most surprising thing ever
heard In the way of musical atrocity
| He secured the country and secured a
| large quantity of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and final
ly, having fully satisfied himself, he ar
| ranged the animals in a sort of pavilion
richly decorated The day of the trial
arrived, and the King and his court en-
| tered the pavilion prepared for some
thing but greatly in doubt as to the sue
cess of the abbot with the hogs How
ever, there were the hogs, sure enough
and much to the surprise and delight
| of the King they commenced to cry har-
| moniously and in good tune, rendering
an air that was fairly recognized The
| abbot had arranged a series of stops
that were connected with the hogs, and
| upon pulling one of them out caused a
spike to prick the hog it connected with
making him squeal his note The rest
| was easy, for pulling out the different
stops he produced the tune The King
and all his attendants were highly de-
lighted with it.

The sport" of bull-fghting has by no
means been dropped in France. During
the year 1895. according to a statement
just published in Paris, there were no
less than S21 corridas de toros. The
number of bulls put to death is returned
as 1861. and that of horses ripped up
(eventres) at more than 5000. 1t is ow-
ing to the wholesale nature of this sacri-
flee of horsef1esh that an innovation has
lately been introduced in the shape of
''picadores cyclistes'-a change, now
ever, which transfers the danger from
the mount to the rider. Hitherto the
picador has displayed the utmost un-
concern while the poor beast beneath
him is receiving the horns of the charg-
ing bull, but henceforth he will have to
maneuver his mount with considera BILE
agility if he is to escape being hemmed
III a corner and killed outright.-West-

the Walter Hodges Stock Company
opened the spring season to a we'll
filled house-especially for first night.
Saratoga" Bronson Howard's spark
ling comedy, was the play. 1t went with
snap and spirit and without break to
the end. Each of the players was well
up in the lines, well drilled in the stage
business necessary, and at such ease as
to prove that there had been no slight
ing of work at rehearsals. They were
heartily applauded by the audience as
sort of welcoming note, all but three
being strangers, and also because or
satisfaction with their work. Besides
the play itself had full measure OF
plaudits, for it's situations are very
amusing and it's wit exceedingly bright
and clever. Walter Hodges as Robert
Sackett had difficult role to fill, but II
fitted him and he fitted 1t capably with
faithfulnesS, spirit and good judgment.
William L. Gleason as Papa Wander
pool divided the honors with Hodges, II
he did not. indeed, lead. He made an
ideal Vanderpool and proved himself to
be entitled to be ranked as comedian, a
title, by the way, very high in dramatic
art. Charles E. Lothian made fairly
good Jack Benedict. He has plenty OF
dramatic capacity, and will prove a
valuable leading man. The other men
of the troupe proved generally salts

was excellent in the old woman OF the
comedy Others of the troupe have
need to improve upon methods, there
being stiff joints in the action here and
there But on the whole we estimate
up the organization as good; one OF the
best the opera house has had. 1t is not
great in any sense, but satisfactory, and
gives a very even and carefully pre-
pared performance. The company
ought to win here and will. In two
nights more it will catch the temper or
