The Louisiana populist., 1897-04-30

My good friend, has the wave cf
prosperity struck you yet? if not
it is doubtless your own fault, for
prosperity is only striking in the
''high places" this season.
Don't think for q moment be-
cause you have been unable to
purchase your wife a new dress
that there IS no prosperity in this
great country Of ours.
You never had the pleasure OF
meeting Mrs. 0. Fl. P. Belmont,
did you! Well, she is related to
the defenders of ''our national
honor" and of course is entitled
to wear better clothes than your
wife. She estimates the cost Of
her wardrobe for Il single season
to be over S25. 900. If there were
not plenty OF money and prosperi-
ty in the land, people could not
spend their money in this way.
The Louisiana populist., 1897-04-30

In company with that enterpri-
sing merchant and farmer, Mr..
Jno. T. O'Quin and some others,
we walked over to his model little
farm Tuesday morning to see one
OF the Revolution Disc Cultivators
at work. The machine was drawn
by a handsome pair Of mules, guld-
cd by Mr.. Clay Jones, an experien-
ced plowman, and was just molding
the soft clean dirt up about the
growing corn. A row at a time was
cleaned of grass, billed up, and
the soil stirred, 10 acres per day
could he so worked, and one man
with pair Of mules should cult
vate 80 to 60 acres with these i'm
proved plows.

The American Party.

An interesting series of letters
from well-known Democrats, Pop
ulists and free silver Republicans
is published in the April number
of "New OCCASIONS" the Chicago
reform magazine. The writer's
discuss the feasibility of uniting
the various forces which voted for
w. J. Bryan in new. political Or
ganization to be called the Ameri-
can party. These letters indicate
a wide range of opinion. As a
rule the Democratic national com-
mittee men prefer to continue the
fight under the old name, and seem
to think they can again make an al
lance with the independent fac
tions. The Populists are divided,
some preferring to stick to their
party and others being in favor of
submitting the question to the
people. New Occasions" makes
no recommendation, but contends
that it has demonstrated that fu-
sion on the old lines is absolutely
impossible. It is probable that a
conference shall be called to con-
slider this matter early in May.
The result OF this conference will
be awaited with interest. .-Shreve-

Methodist Episcopal church at the
morning services today. The announce
ment had been made that the doors
would be open at 1880 o'clock for the
admission of strangers, but before 10
o'clock a crowd was in waiting at the
front door and by 1915 the church pews
were all well filled by church members
who had been admitted by side door
through the Sunday school room.
By 1O:3 80 every seat was filled and hum
dreds were compelled to go away dis
appointed or content themselves with
a glimpse of the presidential party upon
their arrival.
President Mckinley was accompanied
by Mr. August Vessel, a prominent
member of the church. and was followed
by Secretary ]. Addison Porter, Col.
Myron r. Herrick of Cleveland, and j.
G. Schmidlap of this city There was
disappointment at the failure of Mrs.
Mckinley to accompany her husband,
and it was understood that the condition
of her health forbade her attendance.
The services were of the usual order
except possibly some addition to the
music.
When the final hymn was announced
the president and his party left the
church and thus avoided the delay that
would have been inevitable if they had
waited until the close of the service.
During the afternoon there were many
callers at the residence Of Judge
Schmidlap, where the president and
Mrs. Mckinley were guests. The pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley left later for
Canton, where they will remain until
after the election and then go to Pitts
burg.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. S1.-For the
second Sunday in succession the Grim

made the scene Of the ending of a SEN
sational murder trial. Today the jury

for the killing Of Frederick ]. Jackson.
with whose wife 1t was alleged God
dard had been intimate, reported 70,
the fifth time that they were unable tC
agree upon a verdict and were dis
charged.
A week ago. in the same room, at about
the same time, a jury had acquitted
John Schlegel for killing DIR. A. L. Ber-
ger, who. it was alleged, had sustained
criminal relations with the prisoners
wife. Those cases have been the most
sensational murder trials that Kansas
City courts have had to deal with for
years.
The Goddard case was given to the
exciting trial. Five times since ther
they sent for Judge Longan and report
ed that they were unable to agree upon
a verdict. Judge Longan was de-
termined, however, that they should
secure a finding. and each time, after
administering a severe lecture, sent
them back to deliberate.
Today, after having taken nearly
forty ballots, they again emphasized
their inability to agree and Judge Lon
gan discharged them. The last ballot
stood 6 to G.
1t is expected that new trial will fol-
low at an early date.
