Democratic Incompetence.

In an interview on his recent
return from Washington, Senator
McEnery gave the following ideas
as to the terrible mismanagement
IN army matters which caused more
deaths and suffering than all the
Spanish bullets in the war with
Spain
As to the main issue that will be
injected into the approaching ma
tional campaign, be said that there
will be an effort made to fasten
upon the Republicans the charges
Of hardships, evils and ontrages
that are now being agitated and
charged up against the war de-
partment as results of mismanage-
ment. 1t were useless and even
rnin0us to Democratic chances of
success to pursue any such policy,
for anyone conversant with war
matters must know that many of
these complaints are attributable
to the incompetency and ignorance
Of regimental and company Off
GERS, and it may happen that the
cause OF the complaints will In
many Instances be traced to regi-
mental and company officers who
were NAMED by the governors of
their respective States, and that
these officers kept the war depart
lnent In absolute ignorance of the
existence Of the evils complained
Of. sTwere better not, in bis opin-
ion, therefore, to make any such
Issue with the hope of having vic
tory perch upon the Democratic
standard He anticipates that the
Democratic leaders throughout the
country will appreciate this and
that they viii cause the money
question to be the grand and only
issue. In many Of the States, the
Democratic leaders are doing this,
and are boldly declaring that they
will stand fairly, squareEy, fatty
and unceElpronisingiy upon the
platform adopted at tho last Dem
ccratlc convention in Chicago.

The Popuists Of Texas and
Georgia are all ahlazo with enthu-
siasm. they have a just cause to
be enthusiastic. They have glori-
Gus prospects Of carrying those
States for Populism this fall. They
viii defeat the democrats and turn
those States over to the greet com
mon people to-be run in their in
terest, and not in the interest of
rings and corporations as hereto
fore. Georgia is he empire of
the South and Texas the empire
of the West. We don't blame
those people for being proud. We
are proud for them. The people
who live In this State ought to get
enthused over the matter and re
icice with Texas and Georgia. It
is a powerful upheaval that is tax
ing place socially and politically.
This spirit of enthusiasm should
seiize our people and spur them on
to duty. Our people, if they only
would, can do for Louisiana what
the people Of Texas and Georgia
are doing for those States, Its
dead easy, whenever the mudsil-
lers unite and set determination
that they will win or die in their
tracks like they did ut Gettysburg,
the Wilderness, Spottsylyania, and
Chattanooga. That's the kind of
pluck that tells. 1t always wins.
1t will win in Louisiana just as it
will win in Texas and Georgia.

Such are the nominees whom the

You'd all doubt, they will be elect
ed il there is a fair election and an

All they ask is a fair race.
The following resolutions and
platform were adopted by the Rail
way convention:
BE it resolved 1st., That we re-
gard the railway commission as d
purely non-partisan body which
should be selected and operated on
strictly business principles and we
cannot too strongly condemn the
recent democratic railway commits
sion nominating convention Tor its
fullsome endorsement of a parti-
san state administration.
End. That while we doubt the
efficacy of a railway commission to
correct the evils of determinations
in transportation, we yet believe
that the commission should be Civ
en- q fair trial and should be hon
estly and thoroughly administered
in manner TO prevent central
cities from acquiring unfair ad-
vantages, so rs to do exact justice
to all towns and communities as
we'll as justice to railroads and
other institutions affected by it.
3rd. That we favorand demand
that the railway commission shall
SO exercise its power as not to dis
courage but to promote and fa-
cihtate the increase of railroad !

A Modest Acknowledgment

The Populists of the 4th Cong.
Dist, in convention last Saturday
saw fit to bring this editor forward
as their nominee for Congress. II
it was intended as an honor, com
plimentary of our hard work at the
front of every battle the Populists
have fought in this State, then we
accept it, approaching the honor
and thanking our friends, and CO.
workers, but if it was a task as
signed US because it was too hard
for others who might be willing,
and too discouraging for those who
might be more desirable, then we
accept that also, and pledge our
friends and the party to mako a
herculean effort to carry their ban
ner to victory where better men
have failed and truer men have
been slaughtered.
Having been born in this State,
as we'll as both parents, and having
begun our political career and
brought 1t up to the present in
this district, we need little intro
iuction to the voters. But our
work in the district has heretofore
been mostly Of an executive char
acter, and we have therefore met
but few of the people on the stump,
hence in the short time allowed us
before the election, we shall try to
make at least one speech in each
parish in the district, due notice of
which will be given in the papers
md by poster.
If elected to congress, and there
rave been stranger things happen
ID, we shall vote for every princi-
de in the Populist platform, as
list and encourage in every way
public enterprise and de-
throughout the district, |
nd look after the garden seeds
nd postofices closely.
We hope the Populists will come
'p to our support as one man,
nd that all good Democrats who |
re tired of fraud. bribery, tricke-
y, corruption and rottenness will
10 tho same.

Capt. B. W. Marston, Indepcnd-
ent Democratic candidate for Rail
way Commissioner, spoke here
Wednesday to a small crowd of
citizens hurriedIy gathered. He is
an able and forcible speaker, and
severely denounced his party for
crimes we have complained of for
years. He boldly declared his
willingness to join the Peoples
party rather than submit to these
crimes. That is the only sensible
thing for him to do. His speech
was well received by all save tie
machine Democrats.

II commenced last Sunday morn

In his opening sermon he said :

Spanish guns at Santiago. We

Railway Commissioner.

The Peoples party Railroad Com
mission convention met at Mon
roe Sept. 2Sth, with Is parishes
represented ont Of the ~. The
nominee Prof A. c. Calhoun of
Richland, is large planter and
stockraiser near Rayville, but was
for many years IL prominent edu-
Gator in the State. The following
sketch of his life by the Monroe
Bulletin is interesting and true:
PROF. a. @. CALHOUN
of Richland parish was nominated
by the Peoples party for Rail
road Commissioner from the 3rd
District, composed of the 18th and
9Th Congressional Districts. This
gentleman is we'll known all over
the state, and if elected, he will
make a most faithful and compe-
tent servant Of the people.
Mr.. Calhoun was born and rear
ed in Claiborne parish. His faith
er, who was closely related to John
G. Calhoun and Patrick Henry,
came from South Carolina. AT
the breaking out of the civil war,
A. C. Calhoun was a student in
Homer College, but be left his
books and went to the front with
the company that was organized in
Claibore by Thomas M. Scott who
was succeed as captain by Noel
L. Nelson, VINO finally became
Colonel of the 18th Regiment and
was killed at Franklin Tennessee
by the side of our nominee who
received two wounds in the same
fierce battle. Mr.. Calhoun served
through the war in the 18th regi-
ment without a furlough and no
Drawer, truer soldier ever donned
tho gray.
After the war was over, this
soldier boy, still a mere lad though
q veteran of the greatest struggle
the world ever saw, returned to
Homer College and pursued his
studies until he graduated with
the degree of A. NJ. This is the
kind of material our nominee is
made of.
For many years, Prof. Calhoun
taught school, teaching for several
sessions in the State University at
Baton Rouge.
In recent years, he has been en-
gagged in developing and improy-
ing o large body of lands, which
he owns in Richland parish. He
aided in organizing the Tensas Ba-
sin Levee district and in building
the -Natchez C Northwestern rail-
way.
From every standpoint, Mr.. |
Calhoun is worthy to fill the Office
for which be has been nominated. |

1t is stated upon good authority, and
notwithstanding published reports to
the contrary, that the LaBelle tin plant
has been sold out to the tin plate COM
bine and is already the property of the
trust. One of the principal stockhol-
ders stated that the transfer had been
practically made before the last meet
ing of the stockholders of the South
Side plant and that the stockholders
were only called together on Tuesday
to formally ratify the sale.
He said the trust was to pay the
Labelle a sum equal to the amount of
the capital stock, which is put at $780,
600. BY this transaction it is estimat-
ed that the stockholders of the La
Belle tin plant will clear about S150,000
on their investment. 1t is understood
that the sale was to be a cash transact
tion and that the amount would be
paid down Immediately that the plant
passes into the hands of the trust.
