FRIDAY, April g, 1897.
a Well Established Party.

There are some people so lgno
rant of current history that they
still imagine that the Peoples Par
ty is mere struggling band o1
cranks. There is no excuse fol
such ignorance. The Peoples par
ty has figured in three nationa
elections. Last summer, it helc
in st. Louis the largest represen.
tative political convention ever as
sembled on this continent. 1t has
thorough organization in every
state from Maine to California.
1t has clubs, committees, and mem.
bers in every county, except the
black counties of the south, and ii
surely is no discredit to a party to
have no representation in such
counties. The Peoples party has
control of several State govern
ments. 1t has members in every
legislature, except the Wall street
legislatures of the east. 1t has
FIVE governors. 1t has seven Unit
ed States senators. 1t has thirty
congressman.
1t has a thorough national Or
ganization, being under the direc-
tion of as powerful a committee as
any other political party ever had.
1t has a mighty press, numbering
several thousand intelligent and
vigorous newspapers. 1t has over
two millions of voters.
With all these forces, it is idle
and childish for sny one to deride
the Populist party, or pretend that
it is not a mighty and enduring
power in this nation. Bat this is
not all. The Peoples party is
distinct from all other parties in
its principles, plans and purposes.
1t differs from both old parties
in being an industrial party. 1t
seeks to befriend the poor and un-
employed by Legislation that will
destroy the special privileges of
the rich and mighty,
1t is the only anti-monopoly par
ty in this country for it seeks to
destroy monopolies in the only
possible way, by advocating the
government ownership and opera
ton of monopolies.
1t is non-sectional and the only
party that has bridged the chasm
between north and south. It is
not a free-trade party nor a high
protection party. 1t advocates the
golden mean Of equality and JUS
tice in all things. 1t favors inter-
nal improvements and pensions. It
is the only party that advocrates
a national system of finance. 1t is
the only party that advocates di-
rect legislation through the initia-
tive and referendum and thereby
becomes the party of popular gov
ernment.
Neither the Republican nor Dem
ocratic party stands for honesty in
elections. One bribes in the north
and the other stnffs ballot-boxes
and buldozes in the south. Both
old parties have been tried. They
have been weighed in the balance.
Alternately they have led the peo-
pie to ruin.
They have lost the confidence of
the country and must give way tol
the party Of honesty, patriotism
and human rights--the party oil
reform and justice. Monroe Bul-
letln.

Cane River Seen from the Steam
er Des Arc.

Vltatlon from that enterprlslng CIT
zen, Mr.. Jno. A. Barlow, second
ed by the polite and intelligent
captain of the Des Arc, Mr.. NJ. H
kouns, We took passage last Fri
day evening on that industrious
little steamer for Colfax and al
way landings.
The Des Arc is q stern whee
craft 10 feet in length, IS feet
beam, and rather above the ordina.
ry height. She carries 60 or 7C
tons and shoves q barge ahead Of
her with 80 tons on that. She was
bought by the Givanovich Oil Co.
especially for the cotton seed trade
in Cane river, and from Colfax to
Coushatta in the Red. The pur.
chase price and repairs to date,
foot up near $4,000, but she will
nearly liquidate that this season.
The repairs include the cost of the
above mentioned barge, which was
built at Grand Ecoro last fall by
Mr.. D. G. Walker, tho present
carpenter on the boat, is Is feet
long, IS feet beam, and warranted
to carry 80 tons.
When coupled out these two
crafts make a boat 1S5 feet in
lcngth-greater than that of the
largest steamer, yet they are
wheeled around the sharpest bends
in Cane river with apparent ease
by Capt. Kouns or Pilot Wells.
1he officers on board during our
pleasant trip were Capt. M. H.
Kouns, Master; Capt. L. NJ. Wells,
Pilot; J. E. Harkins, Clerk; Ed.
Holden, Engineer; Richard Refs
chke, Mate; D. C. Walker, Car
pcnter, and Frank Kouns, Watch
man.
The Des Arc had just unloaded
25OO sacks of seed, or more than
$50 tons, and was returning for
another cargo. At 1890 we steam
ed away from the Oil Mill just be-
low town, with manager John A.
Barlow for a fellow passenger,
whom the irrepressible ''Monk"
Wells denominated "Commodore."
AS the little steamer sailed grace
fully around the curves and glided
majestically along the reaches of
the beautiful river, we had oppor-
tunity to drink in the prettiest
landscape scenery in the world.
The Live Oak, the Cottonwood, tho
Sycamore or the Willow and, some
times all together, graced the low
er banks where they had not been
removed to make room for the
front of some beautiful plantation1
and then the Cedar, the
Live Oak or the Black Locust in |
Eull bloom, took their places in
long avenues, or dotted here and |
there the green lawn and meadow. |
Every now and then the Dcs |
Arc blew her whistle for the fer
lyman to lower his line, which the
boat passed over, and then host
II children, women and sometimes
men, would come out of the nu-
nerous homes and swarm upon
he banks to watch the unusual
sight.
Here and there a planter who
lad been compelled to hold his cot,
on seed all this time for the want
II transportation, would hail the
captain and ask when he could
axe his seed, or could he bring
ome sacks in which to shin his
eed on the next trip, or what be
vas paying for seed.

ing across old Red we stepped
ashore into the pretty little town
of Colfax, where we spent q cou.
pie OF hours pleasantly chatting
with Mr.. j. e. Dunn, the editor OF
the Peoples Demands. Just as We
were about ready to devour some

steak preparatory to going out and
interviewing the good citizens OF
our thriving little neighbor, the
Des Arc blew for the landing,
having run down to Capt. Teaps
gin and took on 80 sacks of seed.
We had just time to run into j. H,
McNeely's mammoth store, shake
hands with his clever proprietor
ship and got word Of approval
of our Locks, when the shrill call
whistle babe us be off.
Once more on the Dos Arc which
picked up her genial pilot again
from Grants point, where he had
stopped to breakfast with his fam
lily at their pretty little home, we
were soon speeding up Cane river,
endeavoring to note all the good
points in favor of Locks in the
river, but this was impossible.
Opposite tho Chas. Pierson place,
about one mile from the mouth, we
saw the ideal place for the first
Lock. The left bank is almost
perpendicular, is of rock, and 60
or 70 feet high. The river is mar
row and deep with a rock bottom,
and the right bank is 40 to so feet
high and steep. In tho left bank
is ample rock to build the dam for
the Lock, There is plenty of chan
mel and water to bring boats up
this high in Cane river at any sea-
son of the year.
Shortly after we arrived at Mr..
R. G. Hargis' plantation and gin,
and while lot of seed was being
put on, behold a couple Of young
ladies walked down the gang plank
and up to the Office and asked for
passage, which was readily given.
They were Miss Maggie Boydstun,
the accomplished teacher of the
Hargis school, and Miss Hattie
Hargis, the pretty young daught-
er of Mr.. Hargis, was on her
way home with her teacher to
spend a few days at the Boydstun
residence near MelrOse. IF tho
voyage could have been called pro-

ENGLISH PEOPLES TEETH.

Education is playing sad havoc
with the teeth of modern generations.
So an experienced dentist in the West
End says, and he ought to know.
Formerly decayed teeth were gener-
ally attributed TO secret fondneSs Tor
Don-bons, but the idea is, it appears,
quite IA mistake. In fact sugar is
rather nourishing than otherwise.
The truth is that the ancient, sturdy,
square jaw of the English race is now
changing, through lessons and book
learning to an angular or Y shape,
which presses the molars one upon the
other, does not give them room TO
grow, and will, in time, prevent some
of them from cutting at all. Indeed,
this catastrophe is not infrequent al
ready. In many cases the original
teeth are becoming less in number
than they ought to be, and often the
'wisdomers" fail to appear. This is
an educated jaw" and is lamentable.
The new facial form is, according to
the dentist, much cultivated by ladies
who find that it is popular among the
gentlemen. The latter like ladies
with the educated" angle of chin,
which generally carries with it pear
~ but very frail teeth. If the speci-
alist be right. this process of selection
aided by further lessons and more
study. will, in the course of time. pro-
duce a race without any teeth at all.
Then will the dentists make fortunes,
for people will require complete arti-
fetal sets from babyhoOd onward.
