dear Progress, that the Democracy of
Caddo wi]lfully indorse the action of
her delegation in toto. In the first
place, what right had the name of
Senator Blanchard before that con-
vention at all? He was in no. wise a
candidate, then why continually
thrust his name before the public for
Endorsement? From what L have
been enabled to gather Hr, Blsnch-
ards own friends were the aggressors
in that they insisted on endorsing
him while the Caddo delegation lbs St

man at all. But Mr.. Foster is very
beadstrong and Mr.. Blanchard vain,
and his name was presented, and the
delegates from our parish voted, no:
This is the matter IN nutshell. The

Letter From Post Commander Ward.

EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:-I wish through
your paper to present the other side of a
story that is being circulated against
Cham5erln Post, which is that we
refused to decorate the graves of our
comrades in the Catholic cemetery last
Memorial day.
The facts are these: At the second
meeting before Memorial day | APP
pointed the usual two comrades to deco
rate the graves in each cemetery, the
Catholic included, and it was mistake
that the adjutant did not notify the
comrades so appointed. Comrades
Frechette and Pinard, it appears, did
not know Of their appointment or at
least did not attend to the duty to which
they were appointed. Regrerting that it
so happened, desire to make this public
statement of facts in the case. The
Grand Army of the Republic has no race,
color, religious or political preferences.

Fanfare.

Last week the hot wave and the
perfervid young man from the Platte
kept the journalists lively. The boy

warrior of the West, on the warpath
for game worth his trouble, carried
battle to the gates of the enemy
in his stronghold. His speech has
been heard; it's feeler, a reconnais.
sance, and by and by grand strategy
and big guns are to begin the work
OF discontinue and prod1gious
slaughter; then victory, peace and
a new era. This is a flourish of
trumpets; that will be a spectacle
when angels are to weep. But seri-
ously the country breathes easier ;
the speech of the reformer fell fiat.
He failed to enthuse his audience, and
friend and foe alike are disappointed.
His friends are disheartened and his
enemy emboldened. The merry war
will 60 on and every one waits
expectant the next scene in colos,
sal drama. In whatever way we
look at it the speech of Mr.. Bryan in
New York failed in its avowed pur-
pose to convince the unbeliever. 10
amount of JUNCTION, no flowers of
oratory, no imprisoned or fOrceful
utterance can change the convictions
of men Of affairs taught in the school
OF life long experience. The orator
left great gaps in his position. They
will be assailed. 1t is amazing that
he should ignore the lessons of the
centuries, and the usages of nations.
1t is amazing that this candidate
for the high office of president, this
new oracle in finance, could not fore
see the consequences that are certain
to follow his gratuitous and unsup-
ported assumption that silver,
moving with an impulse to be i'm.
parted by bimetallism, will rise and
remain at gold value of 81. % per
ounce, All evidence contradicts the
statement.

guarantees. Your position is as
untenable and surprising as if you
had determined to reverse the laws
Of gravity. Human preference, the
experience OF centuries, the intent and
purpose, the unchallenged right OF
dealers in international exchange, to
settle their balances in the manner
that suits them best, are all against
you. 1t is not for nought that
present systems of world exchanges,
the survival Of the httest, tried in
the fires Of experience, have been
evolved from nothing to proportions
gigantic and useful beyond enumera-
ton. Your effort is vain to combat
forces beyond your control, even OF
single nations. Your speech is theory.
1t offers no permanent solution to
problems now interesting the people.
They will demand guarantees that
your intended specific for the ills, real
and imagined, of the body polite,
shall not fail them at critical mo-
ment. If your conviction is only
guess, then your guess is OF no more
value than the guesswork of Others.
Give us an undoubted warrant that
your oracle is genuine, and we will
be among the first to cry, Bravo"

National Banks.

Some interesting facts about
national banks are given out by
the Treasury department at Wash
ington. On October 31st, 1895, the
stock OF 3,715 national banks was
owned by 2S5 100 shareholders, and
they received on the average only
about 5 per cent in dividends on
their Investment; not an unusually
large rate of interest surely.
The attention of our populst
friends is invited to the treasurer's
statement that the national banks
are favored from one half to one per
cent only in their holding of govern.
ment bonds to protect their circulat-
ing notes. In other words, if
national banks could loan their
money at 7 per cent and upward,
they would not find profit in TAX
ing out circulation at the current or
market value of bonds.

Does Not Predict Success.

The following is from the New
York Tribune, concerning the not
over cheerful situation in which the
leader of Vermont's democracy now
finds himself:
II wish conditions were reversed and
we were here to make a fight" said
Bradley B. Smalley of Vermont to a
friend with whom he was chatting while
he sat upon a settee in the Fifth Avenue
hotel. "Then there would be money to
burn. Too bad we have nothing to fight
with" Mr.. Smalley is regular" and
that is all that keeps him from boiling
the ticket. He has got to retain his
badge or lose his organization in Yer
mont. So President Cleveland's dear
friend has put away his own desires and
harnessed himself to Mr.. Bryan's cart.
He takes it with i'll grace, however, and
is talking low and dolefully. He does
not predict success.

PROFITABLE PUBLICITY.
Continuous Advertising

By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, JR., of New York,
Doctor of Publicity.
Feed your horse every other day and
you have no horse.
Send your children to school every
other week, and in the week they are out
they forget what they have learned the
week before
He who changes his underclothes every
other day finds that his days are num-
bered.
Meals at irregular hours, breeds indi-
gestion. Nobody has the store open
today and closed tomorrow. In con-
tinuity is strength.
A fairly good thing continued is better
than very good transient thing.
The man who has plenty of stock today
and is out of sizes tomorrow is reckoned
by the public as being out all the time.
Success in business is due to the con-
tinuance of successful methods.
The more continuous advertising is the
more it is worth.
Your advertisement is in today spaper,
and people will read it.
Tomorrow, today's paper is mislaid.
If your advertisement isn't in tomor-
rows paper, and the people look for it
and don't find it, the good Of today's
advertising is lost.
Successful advertisers everywhere are
those who advertise all the time, even
when business isn't good.
To advertise part OF the time is more
expensive than to advertise all the time,
for the art-ofthe-time advertiser is
obliged to use more advertising when he
begins again to connect the end and the
beginning, than he would be 1.-THE carried
a small advertisement between the sea-
sons of extensive advertising.
The great business houses are run for
profit, and they would not advertise con-
tinuously, even when their goods don't
sell, if they had not proven that contin-
uous advertising is more economical and
more profitable

are hard words, Mr., Waterson. 1t
is your duty as an enlightened Ameri-
can citizen, with quite a large Ameri
can audience to listen to you, to be
on hand in the thickest Of the fight
in this campaign. to try and prevent
the fools and frauds from gaining the
front in political affairs. 1t will help
your reputation quite as much as
dawdling about Europe while others
are bearing the brunt of the fray.
