Elect Good Democrats to
the LEGISLATURE.

Candidates for local Offices are -
thick ~ fiddiers IN Ark snsaw in
some of the parishes of Louisiana.
In many parishes thereare as many
as a half dozen hustling candidates
for the Legislature-men who are
keen to aid in making laws for the
people and overly anxious to take
a hand in the election Of . couple
OF United States Senator'S. Demo
Gratis should be on their guard az to
who they support tor members Of
the Legislature throughout the
State, and the candidates should
come out and declare their prlnci-
Piles, and pledge themselves to vote
for none but antitrust men for the
United States Senate. It's obvious
hat the trusts will spare no ex-
pense to elect an many Senators
as possible who are favorable to
their interests, and the Democratic
cry is, "down with the the trusts

An Army Of Candidates.

Tue Avoye!les Blade brags on
the announced candidates in that
parish after this fashion:
1--WE believe we can say it with
out fear OF contradiction that We are
announcing in our columns more
candidates than any other paper in
the State. We hase looked over our
exchanges carefully aud none came
near us, with the single exception
Of the Webster Signal IN It's last is
sue contained twen:y-four announce
ments. We beat that number and
are not halt through the work.
Now our conireers must not hit
back At rs by saying that our peo-
pie are inordinately hungry for Of
fce, as such is not exactly the case.
OF course We have many men Who
consider themselves particularly
well fitted to occupy public posi-
ton. but not more than in any other
locality. The difference lies in the
fact that our candidates do not 60
out cunning Tor votes 10 the briers
and brambles and on the ely, hut
prefer to make an open fight, and
come to the printer
as the proper starter in the race,
and we always send them OF ut the
proper gate.

The Advance in Cotton.

In the face Of tangible facts I'LL

as large as last year, because there
are unmistakable evidences Of the
absurdity Of such thing. The cot
ton world, which was disposed to re-
ce,ve the reports Of drought damage
which prevailed during August and
September with skepticism, IL now
convinced that much Of the damage
reported actually occurred. IL IL
also now evident that he damage
done by dRouth cannot be repaired

far advanced and the temperature
lately has been 90 much below the
normal that there l. email prospects

The old Keauarge was launched
At Portsmouth, n. H., in 1851,
and took her name from q mountain
in that State. 1t Is almost start
ling to compare her with her name

sarge was 1881 tons, the battleship's

Some Queer Texts.

An old English railway guard
tells this story about the late DR..
Sturgeon. "Near where Spurgeon's
Tabernacle stands half dozen mali.
streets all meet at one point. There
is . drinking fountain there. 1t
was one very hot summers evening
and the drinking fountain was IN
strong demand. | wanted drink
myself, and while waiting my turn
l said to some Of the people stand
Jog by: Hurry up, I'm parcbed,
Somebody patted me on the back
and said: Thank You, my man.
you have given me my text for
tonight It was Mr.. Spurgeon."
The guard added that he was on
his way to the tabernacle at the
time, and Sturgeon preached one
of the finest sermons be had ever
heard on the words, ssHurry
up, I'm parched!"
The above reminds us Of story
we once heard of the late Henry
Ward Beecher. As he entered bis
church IN Brooklyn one Sunday
morning IN July, he heard one Of
the ushers remark to another, s'Its
damn hot" When Beecher arose
IN the pulpit he exclaimed, IN 3

this for his text. be preached an
eloquent sermon on the evils of
