they begin work, il necessary, they can
build and put their road in operation

Great activity in the building of rail-
roads is noticeable within the present
month, particularly in Louisiana and the
southwest. A dispatch from Lake Char

orders have been given for work to be-
gin at once on the bridge of the X. G. P.

Editor Coyar Chronicle:
/ see clipping from your paper 10 the
Pollock News saying that opposed send
ing delegates to the National Conference;
also that stated that the conference
would be controlled by the Political
Bosses. This is not correct. advocated
sending delegates to the National Confer
ence, and said that believed that some
OF the men who opposed the conference
were traitors. Will you please make this
correction, and believe me,
] Yours truly, A. w. SrEwARr.
We give place to Mr.. Stewards COM
punication, although between him and
the Pollock News, we have been some
what misquoted. In our issue of June
9Th, in reporting the proceedings Of the
Populist executive committee, we used
the following language, which it will be
seen is slightly different from the version
above given:
The matter of sending delegates to National
Conference OF the Peoples party was discueseCl
and the committee decided BY q large majority
TO send no delegates. Some kick being made
By Mr.. Stewart about the bosses ruling in this
nff-hand style 1t was finally decided that Chair
man w. ": Smith should call a mass meeting
81 Fairfield, for Saturday: June 10th, ct which
the matter is to be more fully discussed.

Continually Going to Pieces.

Continually Going to Pieces.
According to the most reliable author
ity from Republican and Populist sources,
as typified by the Daily Item, Peoples
Demands, ETC., the Democratic party has
went to pieces" at least dozen. differ
emit times within the past twelve months.
and now comes the old lady Pic, and
says, 'the dissolution of old party organ
izati0ns seems to be imminent" It only
seems 50, however, and there is no reality
in it, as several remarkable victories by
the Democrats in northern States have
within the last few days proven.
There can be no reliable administration
of the affairs Of government like ours
without party organization. as the Plea
yuDe has pointed out with great logical
precision on many occasions. Only a
party based upon the eternsl principles
OF liberty, equality and fairness, on which
the Democratic party rests, could with
stand the divisions to which it has been
subjected. 1t is essentially based and
founded upon the American constitution
and bill of rights, and is truly the peo-
PIES party. The word Democrat" schol-
ars tell us, is derived from the Greek,
thus: Demos, the people; Kratos, power;
and right royalty has the party ever held
to its mission Of carrying into execution
the bchests of the masses. Opposed, as
it is. to the centralizing idea of Republic
canism, it wages eternal warfare against
paternallsm, and the fos-
tering Of industries by so-called "protec-
tiun."
Time and again the party's idolixed
leaders have proved recreant to the trust
in them, going over to the mon-
ey power and betraying the party and
compromising it's principles, but invari-
ably it has recovered itself, and. spurning
tho traitors who frustrated its aims, it
has turned steadily to its purpose. There
is little danger of its losing its autonomy
now, for there is no other party to take
its place. The people recognize that it
is best to have only two strong parties,
with well defined principles, il they are
to have any knowledge of the kind of adj
proposed, or voice in the
conduct Of the government. A multitude
Of small parties creates confusion and
odds to public anxiety, and they can
have DO permanancy under our institu-
ions.
The primary cause of these divisions
hese fractional parties--is opposition to
he levying Of taxes in aid of protected"
Industries. We therefore confidently ex-
,ect to again see them all united in the
'n'y great historical party that has
irm hold upon the affections OF the
American people.

BY the terms of the ordinance adopted
by the police jury OF Grant parish, at
their meeting May 10Th. an election is or.
dered to be held in wards one, six and
seven Of this parish on Wednesday, July
II, 1897. to take the sense of the property
taxpayers OF said wards relative to levy.
ing special tax of five mills per annum
for period Of ten years, in aid of the
Gulf La. and Great Northern Railway.
The tax is to begin Jan. /, 1893. That is,
1t is to be levied for 1893. but not to he
collected until the road shall be COM
pleted through Grant parish. The line
or location of the road is stated thus: ito
or within one-half mile of the court house
at Colfax, and to or within one-half mile
Of the town hall at Montgomery" In or.
der to earn the tax proposed the compa-
ny has to completes the road and have il
ready to operate trains thereon by Dec.
81. 1898. In the event Of failure on the
part of the G. L. and G. N. Co. to earn
the tax, the ordinance specially provides
that the tax is to be transferred to the
credit OF any company that will construct
2 railroad on the lines indicated, within
twelve months from the forfeiture by the
company to which the tax IL voted.
We have thus outlined the provisions
OF the ordinance in order that our read
ers may have concise statement of the
proposition. The ordinance is nearly
three columns in length, and We have
not the space to publish its full text, as
we at first intended.
This tax should be freely voted by ev-
cry property owner in wards one, six and
seven, as it will be of direct benefit to
each and every taxpayer from five to ten
times as much as the taxes he is asked to
contribute. The tax should be voted, be-
cause il it is refused the road will GER
tainly be built many miles away. and we
will be greatly injured thereby.

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is Always more or less suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overhowS with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
orm of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
eeply interested an a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence of untold misery. AS the
remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
storing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such remedy at once. A re-
quest to Fl. @. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
u -, Mich, stating that you are not send
ing for the prescription out of idle Curl
osity, but that you wish. to make use of
the medicine by giving it trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
as to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
Though some NAV wonder how Mr. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut t IS out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

Dr. Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attaked with La

physicians at Cowden and Pana could do
nothing for her. 1t seemed to develop into
Hasty Consumption. Having DIR. Kings
New Discovery in store, and selling lots
of it, he took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar bot
ties cured her sound and well. DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds is guaranteed to do this good
work. Try it. Free trial bottles at any
