THE SITUATION.

An able editorial from the Non
cOnf0rmiSt, headed "a Supreme
Moment" which appears in anoth-
er column, is worth the careful
perusal ofevery Populist in Louisi
ana.
This editorial is descriptive of
the general situation of the popu-
liSt-demOcratic fusion throughout
the country, but especially in Indi-
ana. 1t also gives the very best
of reasons why Populists should
not consider a mere division of cleo
tors, which means the support Of
the straight Democratic ticket, but
should withhold their support
from any combination with the
Democrats until Sewall is with
drawn.
The situation in Indiana so near
ly resembles that III Louisiana and
the arguments advanced in defend
ing that situation is such a com
plete defense of the course of the
Peoples party in Louisiana, that
we take pleasure in giving nearly
two columns to reproduction of
the article above referred to.
Believing that the Populist vote
in Louisiana is necessary to the
success of the silver cause we have
urged the POpulists to stand firm
in demanding the withdrawal Of
Mr.. Sewall, thereby vindicating
the honor and preserving the iden-
tity of the Peoples party.
There is no doubt of the fact
that Populists in the doubtful
States where their votes are need
ed have it in their power TO de-
feat Mr.. Sewall, elect Mr.. Watson
and save the life of their party in
this critical hour OF it's existence.
Their party and their prosterity
will hold them responsible for
failure to do their duty in this cri-
sis.

Opelousas, La, Sept. 18th. 1896.
Mr.. II. l., Brian.
Dear Sir:-Having noticed
your call of the Special committee
of ''Peoples Party" to meet at Al
exandria on the 24th, of this
month, to meet similar commit
tee of the Democratic party, for
the purpose of seeing whether a
fusion of the two parties could be
accomplished. l think it in order,
that you or your committee should
have an idea what the sentiment of
the Peoples party in the 9th. con-
gressional district is on that sub
ject.
The Peoples party of this dis
trict will not favor any actions of
the committee that would tend to
destroy the identity of our party
either national or State. The Peo-
pies party of this district, is ten
fold stronger that it was at the
last election, So mnch stronger
has it grown in st. Landry and
Arcadia and the surrounding par
ishes, Notwithstanding the asser-
tion of the Times-Democrat to the
contrary, that there is no doubts
in any ones mind, that a Populist
will represent the 9th. congress
sional district, in the next Con-
gross.
1t is also the sentiment of the
Peoples party of this district that
no fusion could be accomplished
with the Democrats unless, they
were to take down their nominee In
the 4th. 9TH. and 9th. congrossion-
al districts, and nominate or en-
dorse nominees of the Peoples
party in these respective districts.
AS we regard this as the only
marks of identity left to our party
the election is over should a fusion
be accomplished in this State,
Yours Truly

Bro. j. A. Tets of Robeline, is
getting to be a veritable X-ray,
he reads between the lines of other
peoples articles, and places two
meanings upon them-one found
in the lines and the other between
the lines.
In the Times-Democrat this week
he criticizes our action in appoint
ing an auxiliary committee on fu-
sion; as follows:
While upon the face of this no.
tice of appointment all seems fair
and the appearance of an earnest
desire to have all efforts at har-
monizing on one set of electors ex-
hausted before the move is given
up, one can read between the lines
and see that the object is only to
satisfy certain class of Populists,
while, in reality, our chairman has
no idea that anything satisfactory
can be accomplished.
Just how Bro. Tets can accuse
us of having ''no idea that any,
thing satisfactory can be accom-
plished," would be a mystery but
for the recently discovered X-ray.
Judging from the balance of
Bro. Tctts' very able article, he
does not believe the latter construc-
ton which he found between the
lines, and proceeds at once upon
his duties as a member of that
committee by giving some very
good advice to both Democrats and
Populists, relative to the propos-
cd fusion.

Dear Sir and Friend:-I feel i'm
PEELED under the circumstances sur
rounding us to write you line
Since the st. Louis convention /
am thoroughly convinced that 1t
would have been far better to have
put out full ticket of our own,
and we would not now be mixed
up with the Democrats rs we are
IN this matter.
Perhaps this of itself has misled
the Democrats into the belief that
we want to 60 back into their par
ty.
/ believe that more satisfacto-
ry fusion could have been made
with the Democrats, by putting up
a seperate ticket at st. Louis, thus
showing them that we were not
beggars by any means, and Bryan
and Watson would now be recog-
nized throughout the Union, with
the forces opposed to monopoly
united as one man working for the
success of our cause.
As it is what do we see2 No
concert of action, each State max
ing arrangements of its own in
reference to fusion, some swapping
off our electors for the State Off
GERS, others dividing them and al
ways giving Sewall the advantage.
l see you have called the Spe cial
committee to meet the Democrats
on the 9th, inst. / hope you will
recognize nothing but a clean cut
Bryan and Watson ticket.
Nothing less than this will salts
fly the Populists of Claiborne, and
/ think they are right.
/ think the sooner the Democrats
realize that we are in earnest when
we make this demand the sooner
will it be conceded.
/ know the Democrats can do
nothing in this fight without our
aid and if they are in earnest for
reform and striving for it, they
will grant us what we have asked,
if not it is not worth while to Ion
ger fool away time with them.
/ think We have shown to the
world that we have all the while
been willing and anxious to do the
right thing in this matter, and if
we can't dothat we will do nothing.
l realized five years ago that the
Peoples Party would have to force
by ''bull-dog" courage its recogni-
ton here in the South and my
mind has not changed.
Hoping that your committee
will do the right thing for the
good of our party in this State. /

How to Make a Curry of Lobster.

Gut into pieces about 2 inches square
the meat of a lobster weighing about
pounds, and after seasoning with salt
and one-fifth of tablespoonful OF cayenne
set it away in a cold place. Put 3 table
spoonfuls of butter into frying pan
and when it has become hot add table
spoonfuls of flour and small teaspoon
full of curry powder. Stir the mixture
until it is brown, then gradually add a
cupful and a half Of stock and season
with salt and pepper. Add the lobster
and cook six minutes longer. Place
small pieces of crisp toast upon a war m
dish and pour the curry upon them.
Garnish with triangles Of toast and bits
of parsley.
If the flavor of onion be liked, fry a
small onion in the butter before adding
the flour and curry powder, but in this
case strain the sauce before the lobster is
put with it.

SAND8AGGED IN AN ALLEY
Casper Toenskemper. a Well Known
PlaSterer, Help Up by Two
Desperate Iiighwaymen,
While on His Way Home Last Night
lie Was Knocked Senseless
with Il Sandbag.

\ bold and desperate attempt at high
way robbery occurred in the alley
back Of the Minneapolis house, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets south,
Monday night about midnight. Casper
Toenskemper, q well-kuown plasterer,
who works for W. J. Winters, was re-
turning to his home, which is Il shack in
the alley back Of the Minneapolis house.
He had just left Fourth, turning into
the alley by the empty building used as
a voting place for the Third ward at the
late city election, when he was suddenly
struck on the back of the head by one of
two men whom he passed in the alley.
The blow was given with sufficient force
to knock him down, and as be fell he
was struck again over the temple. While
he lay on the ground the thugs went
through him, but found no money. Just
then passenger came along and heard
the groans of the wounded mar.
A glance showed him what was 60
ing on, as the two men leaned
over their victim, and searched his pock-
cts. He at once ran to the county Jail
and gave the alarm. Before the deputy
sheriff could be found the thugs had
completed their work, and the victim
had recovered sufficiently to get to his
feet and stagger into the Milwaukee
house. Every button was ripped Off his
vest, and he had long livid mark ex-
tending from above bis eye TO point be-
