Various Kinds of Democrats.

| Mr.. G.. d. Hicks, the able aud worthy
editor Of the Shreveport Progress has
ciassed the Democracy of Louisiana in to
eight different kinds, and we believe he
Is very near correct in point of enumer-
alton, though he may not have reached
the maximum. From our study and OBJ
servation with the lights with which we
have been surrounded, we have reached,
though reluctantly, tho deliberate con-
clusinn that the name Democracy in
Louisiana carries with it every tinge.
| shade or color conceivable or kruwn to
nomenclature, and these all pr. fess to
be following the teachings of Je ferson
and jackson. We have hope, however,
always remain so. Democracy ought to,
and does, mean IA great deal more than
its name implies to-day We are told
that it is founded on eternal and endur-
ing principles, not the least oi which is
The rule of the people by the people and
for the people, and we indulge the hope
that the day ia not far in the future
when those duplex characters who dis
grace the name, and would distort its
principles, the hypocrite, time server
and place hunter, will be givena Il seat in
the back ground and made to occupy it,,
and tho party-the Democratic party
healed OF all impurities, rid OF all sap
suckers and demagogues who would
trail its banner in the mire, will reassert
itself in double a firmancc of its ancient,
sacred and honorable principles and
command the support, respect and ad
miration of an intelligent, honest and
noble enslIip.-Catahoula News.
The panic and terror which have CON
4 u Il
merce this year, from tho appearance of
the yellow fever will necessitate the
adoption of one of two plans to prevent
its recurrence. TIE States must adopt
some plan for mutual protection Or the
United States government must take
cnarge of quarantine regulations, The
latter is unaslvlsable as an encroach
ment upon State authority. Interest
should in no wise prove ii factor in some
wisely adopted plan for the public good.
The repressivc measures used by
towns and cities, prompted 10y terror
are certainly senseless and demoralizing
as we'll as entirely useless, but such
mutual precautions should I've adopted
as to give the widest latitude to traffic
and travel consistent with the public
safety-Shreveport Times.
Some hard things have been said on
quarantine aud kindred subjects, but
about the meanest insinuation we have
run across yet is the following from the
B. R. Bulletin. We advise that editor
to get his scalp insured for he certainly
stands good chance OF being snatched

We are not to blame for. We con-
not be- held responsible for the dis

derive from our ancestors, nor are
we responsible for the geriiis Of dis
ease which may manifest themselves
in our blood as heritage from form
er generations. Bnt we are respon-
sible If we allow these germs to de-
velop into serious diseases which
will impair our usefulness and de
siroy our tiarpiness. VS. Nre rrspon-
sible if we transmit TO our. descend
ants the disease germs which it is
possible for. Us TO eradicate by the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place
of disease.
