EOsTERISM.

| WV IOStCI, dilu luul Dlutc tu
once sovereign State of Louisiana
Landed into power by q small
faction of his party through
a dicker as devoid of principle
as its commercial features were
glaring and shameful, this maj
proceeded to entrap, buy ane
bully the majority which hat
opposed him until the whole Dem
ocratic party submitted to his mar
row policy much like the charmed
bird submits to the Establishments
of the serpent. Then the State
itself began to feel the slckenine
symptoms of the disease now
known as Fosterism.
Prominent among these symp.
toms are the following: Controll'
ing by patronage both branches OF
the Legislature in all legislation,
and the selection of relatives and
personal friends for u. S. Sena-
tors and Circuit Judgcs-ignoring
the popular recommendations for
appointments, and allowing some
aristocratic humbug in each parish,
or dirty ward heeler or boodler
in the city to dictate same-allow-
ing officials of trust to embezzle,
borrow or steal public monies
without let or hindrance--pardon-
ing out of the Penltentiary his
political friends, most all of whom
have either gone there or ought to
go--and last, but by no means
least, the debasing of the sacred
right of suffrage to the level of a
farce.
Each of these symptoms have
developed into chronic ulcers up
on our body polite, and together
they make up what is known as
Fosterism.
But it is to the 3rd symptom of
he disease that we wish to call at |
;ention this week-that of allow

A Fair Populist's Impressions of
the st. Louis Convention.

the St. Louis Convention.
Mrs. j. T. Howell, of Bator
Rouge, La, who held a proxy al
the st. Louis Peoples party con.
vention, is, on her fathers side, q
granddaughter Of Capt. Jos. N.
Chambers, U. S. A., who resigned
his commission, married and lived
to old age in East Feliciana parish,
near Port Hudson. Her father
WAS inspector general of cavalry,
and commanded the detachment
that captured Federal gunboat
in the Yazoo river. He served
with distinction to tho close of the
war, when he married q daughter
of Gov. Melville, of Mississippi.
Mrs. Howell (nee Kate Cham
bers) is the first offspring Of this
marriage. She spent several years
of her life with relatives in Jack
son, Miss, where she was promi-
nent in social circles. In 1890 she

married j. T. Howell, now of
Baton Rouge, and a leading Popu-
list and advocate of tho free coin.

attended the st. Louis convention
with her husband, who was q dele
gate, appointed a member of the
committee on platform an d mem
ber of the national executive CON-
mittee for Louisiana.

Of the Peoples party was to be

to its hands would be confded the
task of rescuing our people from
the trusts and monopolies that
have been created and fostered by
both the old parties in this free

"My people for generations have
been Democrats, but they would
be astonished if they could return
here to see what the old organiza-

be overcome with distress to learn
that the grand old party founded
by Jefferson has rent itself in twain
never again to be reunited. But
since attending the convention of

PURPOSE OF THE PARLIAMENT.
Many well meaning militant Chris
tians have expressed them selves as dubi-
Gus concerning the ACCESSIBILITY Of hold
ing another parliament. They wers
equally dubious concerning putting
forward the argument that the result
would be destructive to Christianity BY
elevating other religions on a plane OF
temporary equality with it. This was
never the intention of the promoters oil
the parliament. What was Incorrectly
termed temporary equality was simply
courtesy, nothing more, nothing less.
Christianity which should and does
bear comparison VI 18th every religious
system extant. still holds its undisputed
sway and makes good it's claim to being
the one religion best fitted to meet all
the spiritual requirements of the VII de
human family. The Rev. Joseph Cook
of Boston, whose orthodoxy no sane mind
person would question. was opposed to
the parliament Of 1858. but he became
converted and has since said that Chris
tianitv on this occasion shone out among
the other religions as an electric light
among lot of candles, or words to that
effect. But whatever source it may cone
another parliament is an assured TACT.
