Two Kinds Of Americans.


The Sentinel, publishedin Wash
ington, D. c., says: SAT the time
when Lieutenant Hobson and his
men were sailing into Santiago's
harbor, thinking only Of how the
brief moments of life that then
seemed left to them could best be
used in their country's service.
some other Americans were also
feeling that the war WAS making
large demands upon them.
Mr.. Rockefeller of the Stand
ard Oil Company and Mr.. Have
meyer OF the sugar trust were
tossing on restless pillows think
ing how they could evade contribu-
ting even the smallest percentage
of their gigantic incomes towards
defraying the expenses Of the
struggle.
Hobson and his brother heroes
escaped death. and if the expert
ence OF the past is any guide,
Havemeyer and Rockefeller will
escape taxation. To think other
wise would be to deny that peace
hath her victories no less renown-
ed than war. = Caucasian.

We do not think Mr.. Baily will
need any suggestion from us to aid
him in an answer to the above
question, Or that it will in the
least disturb or inconvenience him,
for there were several reasons he
could give for voting against the
measure, and the most suggestive
one to us would have been, for
the reason we believe this measure
was offered more as an impediment
to the popular, growing in favor,
popuIist measure government
ownership of railroads than as q
relief to the people and it is for
the purpose of propounding the
following question to Bro. Hicks
that we take notice of what he
says. Will you, Bro. Hicks,
please cite us to single instance
wherein the populist party have

noticed this charge before in demo- |

cause we give you credit Of want

Setting Cuba Free.

(From the Cleveland "Leader.'1

Notice.

II the IarlSn owes you anytnlng
come in and get your money. The
Treasurer has got it on band
Colfax Peoples Demands.
The above notice in one of our
papers from our Parish Treasurer
would astonish the natives in this
country, yet such O. notice from
the Treasurer of Grant parish
has been standing in the above pa
per for about year, or ever since
the Populist Police Jury and Trea-
surer took charge of the parish
finances, and had time to straight
en- out the tlisordered condition in
which Democrats left them.
Here we have q Democratic ma
jority Of 2 on the Police Jury, and
the chairman of the parish Democ-
racY is parish Treasurer, and as
one of the results, though this is
one of the richest parishes in the
State, and although taxes were
raised last year nearly $4,000 to the
parish alone, The Jurors at the term
of court just closed, had to dis
count their claims from 5 to 10
per cent to get any money.
In Winn parish, where they have
a Populist Police Jury and Treas
urer, the jurors are all called up
at the end of court and paid the
cash for their services, and in eye-
ry other parish where the Popu-
lists control, the finances of the
parish are alright.
But here where the Democrats,
n the name of ''White Stlprema-
w have controlled things since
rs, and have collected from S35,-
700 to $4,000 for parish expenses
lone, every year since we have
'nioyed their glorious "whito SUI
)remacy" We have to discount our
'arish paper to get any money for
ur services.
Isn't it passing strange that at :
very term OF court there just hap
ems to be no money to the credit
the particular fund out Of which ,
he witnesses and jurors are paidY
Though the other funds have
ome $40, 900 to their credit in the
ank which is the custodian of all
ae parish money! And that the Z
her money always gets around .
from one week to couple of
onths after said jurors and wit
eSses have discounted their scant
ages and gone holneg
This discount, boys, Is o small

which has robbed yoa in the

Sacred Rights Lost.


The recent jury term Of the
District court just held here dis.
closes some of the encroachments
of that Wretched Democratic farce
THE Constitutional convention
upon the most sacred rights of the
people.
The Grand Jury has been cut
down from 16 members to y, and
it has been stripped Of the great
bulk of its power, which has been
transferred to the Dist. Atty.
Here in Natchitoches whore it nev-
er before sat less than 2 weeks, and
sometimes 4, it finished up last
week in less than /, SO much of
it's former work was done by the
Dist. Atty.
The petit jury had little to do
the first week Of court---a Jury of
5 being used IN q few cases, but
none in most-and this week it
was discharged on Monday morn
ing the first thing after court as
SembIed, while next weeks panel
has been notified not to come.
Thus the sacred right of trial by |
jury is slowly but surely and
stealthily being wrenched from the
hands of the people and placed in
the hands of the lawyers and the
Democratic machine.
The right of suffrage has already
been abridged, debauched and be-
fuddled, until the average citizen
it almost worthless.
The great Declaration of Inde-
oendence ybuchsafed to every man
he right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, and as both
ife and liberty have been endan-
,ered by the Louisiana Democrats,
he only thing left absolutely un-
rammeled to our people is the 4,
URsUIT of happiness-with but :
title prospect of catching it.
Little did we think that an En-
lish speaking people Of Anglo
axon descent, born on American +
oil, and Injured to freedom would =
abmit to the destruction of the
reat principles of the Magma .
harta and the Declaration of In o
ependence. .
ALI these frauds upon humanity .
ere attempted to be passed as -
amendments, and =
omitted in the general election ~
1896, were almost unanimously !"
tied down by the people. !"
So the Constitutional convention
st closed was no more nor less p'
an a Democratic arrangement, e'
emeditated ''With malice afore- nj
to fasten upon the peo- f"
of Louisiana the very things as
lich they bad voted down. W
And yet there are animals pass
Z for men, who will not only ln

The Lake Charles American
says
''The Baton Rouge Advocate
grows tiresome in its continual
harping about the newspapers of
the State having changed front on
their treatment of the new Con-
stitution. As shown some time
ago, the Advocate and the Daily
States, one printing tho proceed
ings of the convention and the
other those of the Legislature,
both at wartime prices, are The
only papers hotly defending that
most wonderfully constructed Con-
stitution. Both of the papers
broke out and roasted the conven-
ton to finish, but were speedily
whipped into line by the politicians,
who awarded them fat printing
jobs. 1t is all right for the Adyo-
cate to whip all around the stump
it it SO desires, but it should quit
traducing other papers. The Con
stltution is now the organic law of
the State, and all any good citizen
can do is to obey its mandates
while it remains the law, but that
does not make the Constitution a |
good one. What was a wrong
yesterday is a wrong to-day, and |
VIII 0e a wrong a year from now. |
When politicsis allowed TO domi- |
nate constitutional convention |
good results are impossible. Time
may palliate the ofense of inaict- |
ing this Constitution on the people. |
but the outlook for the States
progress while hampered by the |
mponstroslty ID not q cheerful one. |
Ii the Advocate would get to work |
and by pointing out the many
shortcomings of the new Constitn- |
tion, thereby seeking to have theml
remedied at the earliest possible
moment, it would be doing more
Ior the whole people than by con-
tinuing to publish columns of
nauseous praise for q rotten Con
stitution in order to hold Its 20.
litieal printing job. I

The Merchants Day Proposition Laid on
the shelf, as Was Expected.
The effort which a local newspaper
has been making for some time past
to get up a Merchants Day for 1898,
after the same had been given up
months ago by those who do the work
and pay the bills, received its quietus
yesterday morning, at meeting of bus
mess men, at the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce, as was expected. Only
a limited number of gentlemen were
present, the interest was languid, and
the meeting adjourned until 1899.
When the out-of-to business men
were entertained in August, 1897, it
was recognized that it was the wrong
time of year-that the affair, if re-
peated, should be in the early spring.
Last spring the matter was discussed
informally by representative business
men, and it was agreed that this year
should be skipped, various facts max
ing this desirable. This being the I'M
Outstanding, the effort to again give an
autumn entertainment was doomed TO
failure from the start, but business
men questioned about it for publica-
ton naturally did not care to discour-
age the idea if there was any chance of
success, and did not do so. AT the
same time, it was quietly determined
to adhere to the original programme,
and yesterdays meeting resulted as
was expected.
If it shall be determined to give an
other entertainment in the spring 1t
will be tackled with vigor and will be
success. But these little matters
come high, and there must be no coun-
ter-attractions in the way.
