1t will be seen that only 1926
votes were cast in the Fifth dis
.trict, which is less than the vote
received by Benoit two years ago,
Two years ago, over II, 700 votes
were returned for Baird. This
time there was a falling off of about
5000 in his vote.
j. G. Taliaferro received over
~ per cent of the entire vote.
Calhoun received 1928 votes in
the Third railroad district in which
l0,8S0 votes were cast altogether.
Calhoun, therefore, received over
20 per cent Of the entire vote. He
beat Hon. B. w. Marston about
800 votes.
When we consider that tho pop-
ulists were SO busy with their CROPS
and SO disguised with ring rule.
the populist candidates made a
good showing. The canvass was

of voting was new and not well
understood. The tricks and traps
and frauds of the past all tended
to keep the people away from the
polls.
But after making all allowances,
we regard the smaIIness of the pop
ulist vote as absolutely inexcusa-
bic. In Union parish, hundreds
went to the polls and then refused
to vote for congressman. Some Of
them voted on the stock law qucS-
ton and refused to vote for any
thing else. Yet these men call
themselves good populists. They
would scorn to be classcd as dem
ocrats. We do not consider such
men popuEsts nor good citizens

Pay YOur Taxes
Before'Dec. 31st 1898, If You Elk
peCt to vote any more.

Under the new Constitution, be-
sides all the other requirements,
the voter in 1900 will have to show
his poll tax receipts for two years
before, and these must show that
they were paid by Dec. 31st OF
each year.
As is usual with any document
drawn up by lawyers, the article
is not quite clear, and there are
different constructions placed upon
it, but the Picayune and many
others urge that this article will
be in force at the next State cleo
ton in April 1900, while it is GER
tain to be in force. for the Pre8i-
dental election in Nov. 1909.
Your poll tax is assessed along
with your other taxes and collect
ed ut the same time, and it is Gus.
tomary with some, even large tax
payers, to neglect payment of same
till after Jan'y LIST, when they be-
come delinquent. Now if they
should do this in '98 or '99, they
could not vote for President or
Congressman in 1900, and maybe
not for parish and State officers
that year.
People who have registered I'M
der section 5, are nc better off, and
must pay their poll tax before
Jsn'y LIST next and again in 1899,
if they expect to vote.
Those of you who own any prop
erty will have to pay your taxes
any way, and you had just as well
to pay them in December.
This rule don't work both ways +:
You must pay by a certain time if
you would vote, if you don't pay
by that time you don't get to vote
but you must pay some other time
all the same.
This is what the lawyers in of.
flee and the Democratic party have
done for you, and as most of you
voted for same, come up and swal-
low your medicine.
You pay if vote, if You don't
vote You pay all the same. Good
Democratic doctrine.

The Progress says, This vote
shows one of two things, either
Populism is fast passing into the
realms of the forgotten, or the
rank and file are so hard to please
that no one but an angel need stand
for an Office and expect them to
vote for him.
The last is the truth Bro. Hicks,
we call 'em Holiness Populists,
for when You examine into their
heads there is a hole where the
brains ought to be. We need not
expect perfection on earth and
when one fails to take the best he
can get it shows be is hole-iness.-

The criminal term of the Dis
trict Court opened here Monday
with L. G. Hunter presiding.
The following Grand Jury was
empanelled j. S. Kirk, foreman :,
". I. Cunningham, A. G. Pres
ley, b, /. Hendricks, |. j. Dow
den, Albert Haley, NJ. r.. Lay,
Valsin Lambre, w. 3. Pattison,
W. II. Massey, j. w. Cocker
ham and Albert Deslouche.
The petit jury was dismissed on
Monday morning, thus deriving
no benefit to the parish for the two
or three hundred dollars expense,
and putting the jurymen them
selves to untold trouble and worry.
The Judge also ordered the jury
commission to draw a jury for the
third week, thus adding double
expense for the failure to 60 on
with court this week. The Judge
then went home, leaving the Sheriff
to open and adjourn court each
morning of this week, for which
he is allowed S. per day.
1t seems that the Dist. Atty.
Judge and lawyers don't know
when they are ready for court,
and the parish has to foot up all
these expenses for their negligence.
But who caress Let them pile
it on, the people vote for it, let
them foot the bills.

GOOD OLD TIMES"

Makes him yearn for The days gone by.
And Ec makes me feel, while the teardrops

That my ill starred birth brought me on to

A decade or SO too late.

They didn't need scenery them
And 1t does him good to lecall the rage
OF some eminent public men.
people didn't neglect to display respect
Deliberate and profound,
And they'd never waste In unseemly haste
Their energies getting round"
Yet the world is moving and toiling still,
And loving and laughing, too,
And honest purpose bends with a will
To the work that it finds to do.
And mighty men WELD the sword and pen,
And the lightning leaps forth to bear
Its lessons from verywhere,
And SO, az l think, it occurs to me
That SINE day my turn will come,
When on bygone glories with comments free
III make my posterity elum.
I'll tell him some day when my grandsire gray
Der those "good old tines may moan,
That these we'll find when they re left behind
Are the best old times yet known.

Many Curious Inventors.

The officials of the patent Office say
that they have never been so bothered
as during the present fiscal year by
applicants for patents whose claims
upon investigation prove to have neither
novelty o merit, and which are simply
crazy quilts, s. to speak. But among
all people who investigate, and are
susceptible of conviction by proof,
there can be no, doubt that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is one of the finest
TONES and regulators of the stomach,
liver and bowels in existence. Nervous
subjects, the bilious and m%alarious,
those troubled with inactivity Of
kidneys and bladder, the aged, delicate,
infirm and convalescent find in this
medicine a most readable auxiliary of
health and preventive of disease.

The Burlington's New Trains.

Railroad men who have had the priyi-
lege of examining the four new trains
which the Burlington Route, on the 1st
of May, placed in service between Denver
and Chicago say they are as magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the country
that even the famous limited expresses
between Chicago and New York are
not handsomer OF more luxurious.
Every car is wide %vestibuled, and was
built especially for the Burlington
Route.
The four trains are Identical in
appearance and arrangement. Each is
composed of a buffet-smoking-library car
a palace sleeping-car, a d%ining-car, and
two r~eclining-chair cars. The buffet
smoking-library car is something new for
a Denver-C Chicago line. 1t is a veritablc
club house on wheels, where n may
read, write, smoke, talk, or play cards,
while travelling at the rate of fifty miles
an hour. 1t Is handsomely carpeted
and furnished with s%ettees, cushioned
easy chairs. a lavatory, a writing-desk.
a compartment for card-players. and q
well-stocked buffet. The current
periodicals and newspapers are on file,
and a carefully selected library is
provided for the free use Of passengers.
The sleeping-car is a gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way worthy
of the train of which they form an i'm
portant part.
The Burlington Route takes these
palatial trains through to Omaha and
Chicago in marvelously quick time.
Leaving Denver at $3.50 a. m. today on
one of them you arc landed in Chicago
