NATCHITOCHES. la.

I August 10Th, 1898. {
To the PoPULIsT
Ordinarily it would appea
strange for Democrat to make /;
populist paper the vehicle for his
views, but as the Enterprise is the
personal organ of Mr.. Breazeale
it will be readily seen that tlri,
communication conld never get in
to that deleetable sheet, and more
over the Populist is largely read
by democrats. These are war
times, and everything that goes
into that paper is censored" in the
interest of BreazeaIe, while its
fiapdoodle editorials are generally
written Or dictated by himself, and
consequently are nauseating to a
degree.
Mr.. Breazeale wants to 20 to
Congress and bases his claims to
the position upon his record In the
Constitutional Convention, and
what was that record? A series
OF pyrotechnic displays of chea,
oratory to the gallery gods, always
with a seat in Congress in view.
But OF this l. shall have something
to say later.
The question for the people of
Natchitoches to consider is wheth.
er they can conscientiously vote
for Breazeale after having turned
down Judge Pierson a short time
ago. Judge Person was defeated
because he was considered the
'boss," not that he lacked in any
OF the essential qualifications for
Congress. MIR. Breazeale stands
for everything that Judge Pier
son represented, save that he does
not possess The personal attributes
That the Judge could justly claim.

The PASSING OF POpMEism.

Alabama held a general Stat
election last week aud it was pre-
ceded by great many noisy boast
on the part Of the Populists there
IF what they were going to do
For a nnmber of years past tn,
soil of Alabama has seemed to bt
peculiarly favorable to the growth
of Populism. 1t was there tina
this political monstrosity attained
bis full stature reaching the mos
completed development Of the genus
damphoo1. For a time it looked
as if the State would pass into the
hands of Shis clowish mob of bucan
neers, vino seemed determined tc
transforrl the government into 8
gigantic Seleemosynary institution
charged Yith the duty of support
ing every lazy and worthless devil
in the community. But the late
election shows that most of the
people who joined the Populists
there have recovered from their
insane delusion. 1t was q complete
knockout for Popalism. The
Democratic State ticket was elect
led by majority very close to TO-
900. 1t was the old story of the
sleeping lion awakened by the an
tics of miserable little skunk.
The lion awoke struck one nigh
ty blow. and nothing was left of
the pesky little brute except a
grease spot and a bad odor.
The above is from the organ of
the ring Democracy of this parish,
the Natchitoches Enterprise by
name. According to this organ
the Populists are a clownish mob
of buccaneers (robbersl belonging
to a very large family of id
fools, charitably inclined toward
lazy devils.
AS there are a great many of
those id fool clownish robbers
in this parish, a majority of the
white people in fact, and as very
few of them ever see the Enter
prise, we publish the above to
show them what that paper says of
them, though it knows it isn't true.
Now this same Enterprise has a
hrother-in-la running for con-
gress. In 1896 he ran for Dist.
in 1897 he ran for member
to the constitutional convention this
year for congress, and next year
he may be running for id fool
against the Populists.
Be that as it may the Enterprise
is a very warm supporter of
"brother Phanor" for anything he
wants, and in this, his congression-
al aspirations it is his organ and
chief battle tiag, hence we find the
id fooP' talk from it about |
Populists rather strange in the
light of past events.
Last year when the "briIliant |
young member" was running for
'he constitutional convention he |
wrote personal letters to many, if |
not all the leading Populists in this |
parish, and personally appealed to
others for their support, and was
doubtless successful in a few in
stances.
Believing that these successful,
hough deceitful tactics will be
'gain employed, not only in the
election but in the prima-
y for nomination, we want the
Dopulists before they are again
'ooled into voting for him to know
What he thinks of them, or if not
lis opinion, then the opinion of his

i've friend and mouth-piece.

Freemen arising, to dash down the foe:
Blue and gray dealing him death at each

Mingling a host from the north and the

Meath the same banner. and from every
mouth
One battle cry, "Freedom!" shall go.
Hurrah for the guns! Hurrah for the ships!
Hurrah for the flag of the stars!
Hurrah for the men who fought under

Or under the stars and the bars!
They're rallying now, brave. ardent and

Her sons to do battle for honor and right,
And they're singing Americas song.

A Dilemma and the Way Out,

There are thousands of Hay-Fever and
Asthma sufferers who cannot resort to a
change of climate during their annual at
tacks, either because of the expense or be-
cause duties at home will not permit their
absence. They have to stay and suffer.
There are many, also, who are year by year
finding that places heretofore exempt are be-
coming less and less so, and they must move
on to find new locations where they can es-
cape the Hay-Fever fend.
Now this is all wrong. When doctors tell
you that Hay-Fever cannot be cured, they
simply mean that they cannot cure you
What is it that makes one man have Hay
Fever or Asthma and another escape entire
~ right by his side, exposed to the same pol
len, same dust, same influences? The dust
is not the cause; the pollen is not the cause;
nasal growths are not the cause.
The disease is in the blood and nervous
system; and it is the constitutional e-dis-
position that gives power to the dust or pol.
len or other exciting influences, to awaken
another goes free.
Our constitutional treatment for Asthma
and Hay-Fever is addressed to this pre-dispo-
sition, and by changing the constitution it
eradicates the cause and cures to stay cured,
taking out of man that which makes him
different from the man who has no disease,
and giving a robust body strong and health

that our treatment does just what we say,
