Bryan before the jefferson Demo-
cratic Club ofsMilwaukee, Wisconsin,
speaking of the recent prosperity of
the trusts: "The milk trust
reaches the Infant as he enters the
world, the ice trust cools him in the
and the coal trust keeps him
warm in the winter, while the coffin
trust waits to receive him when life's
ftful dream is o'er.'"

Live Questions For the South.

Among other resolutions adopted
at the recent session of the Louisiana
Press Association were the following
which we think strike the root Of the
problem of -Louisiana's future pros
perity:
Resolved, That considering that
.the enormous crops of cotton which
are. annually raised in the south are
bringing financial embarrassment to
many growers thereof in lieu Of
profit, and causing commercial and
industrial depression where smaller
crops formerly brought animation,
comfort and wealth considering that
the people of the Carolinas, Georgia,
Alabama and other Southern States
: are successfully engaging in cotton
manufactures and by that means
striving to wrest the control of the
price of the raw cotton and OF its fu-
lures from the foreign buyers and
manufacturers considering these
enormous crops of raw cotton are,
Notwithstanding the temporary en-
barrassment they. are causing, demon
strating the capacity4of the South to
dominate the cotton productions of the
world considering that time has rev.
olutionized the trade and industrial
methods of the world: and further
considering that our people must
adapt themselves to such changes;
Be it resolved, That the entire
press of Louisiana be and is hereby
earnestly requested and invited to
unite in the advocacy of the follow
ing special measures
i. The erection of cotton manu-
factories at every point In the State
affording the requisite facilities.
2. The creation of other manu-
factories for which the State possesses
so varied and numerous material.
3. Diversification of production.
A. The full development of the
stock raising industry, including the
s.fattening Of stock for home and dis
tant markets.
5. The creation of new inventions
and the perfection of those already in
existence.
6. The speedy completion OF .
canal across the Isthmus of Panama,
and the extension of our commerce
in Latin America.
q. Public improvements Of every
character.

:. The Governor Makers.

The Governor makers are very
busily engaged creating an executive.
That this is right, can not be doubted,
as the makers are all public spirited
citizens always willing to take the
trouble from the people. But the
people will have their say some day,
and then all the toll of the Governor
makers will have been vain and idle,
as Bros. Bentley and Edwards would
say. Between Bros. Roy and Mou-
ton we have enough suggestions made
to furnish us governors for the next
century, provided that a man whose
name is neither McEnery, Nichols or
Foster be eligible to that office. we
are inclined to agree with both our
confreres that all the gentlemen
named would make ideal governors.
WHY our old friend, Mr.. Dymond, is
| first class, and there are no lies on
our young friend John d. Wilkinson,
for if there were they would be on
the bald part of his head, and then
they are both Johns you e e
~ 4 =
Why! we all know that "Bob"
Broussard is all right and-besides his
name is "Bob," is not that enough?
Then Charley Fenner Dubuisson and
uBob" Wickliffe are ideal men, but
what is the matter with Lawrason and
SNYDER? Julien Mouton, and John
Pugh, Arsene Pujo and Hugh Cage,
Thos. Herman and Thos. Boyd, why
the woods are full of them. But say
brothers, what about Cal. Hicks?-
The ladies' all would be with him, thu
Populists are stuck on his looks, ane
Journalists you'd go wild. If we hae
not in mind some one else, why w
would shoot the first gun for Cal
!, Hicks, but then would he. not be to-
stuck-up in his new borrowed suit
These are serious questions.
But whilst we are at it, let US max
another part Of the State ticket. W
: have here in Assumption men for q
offices, but we have n peculiarly Il
: to be Attorney General. A lawye
: Of great reputation, q jnrist OF Tn
Judgment who has honoTed our benc
flor eleven years, courteous, affab
gentleman, a public spirited either
b and a man Of the people, he woul
e add strength TO the ticket. We'd
% not name him because the descriptlo
shows this refers to Judge Waltz
d Guion.--Assumption Pioneer.

Close Of Perry School,

The proceedings at the dismissal OF :
the Perry school at the close II Its
term last Friday the 10Th instant,
were a grand success in every res
pect. i
John Nugier, Dr., who was ap-
pointed principal teacher Of the
school about a month and a half ago
vice J. M. Wingo resigned, has
proven himself sin the minds of the
patrons and pupils of the school, an
efficient teacher. His management
of the school during this short period
has won for him the respect OF his ell
tire school, and the confidence OF the
parents Of his pupils. His mode OF
dismissing his school at its close mas
met with the highest appreciation OF
all who are concerned. !
Deviating from the usual custom
Of theatrical performances, which usu-
ally require from four to six weeks
training, and which naturally draws
the pupils to a considerable extent
away from their books for the same
length of time, he prepared his
school for a general review at its
, close. This review necessitated the
retracing of the scholars entire studies
, during the session, and left them
with minds freshened on every branch,
besides it instilled into their young
brains the proper understanding OF
: education, viz: the advantage OF
knowing something when a question
is asked.
! To break the monotony of the re-
4 viewing, the programme was seasoned
with short recitatfons in prose and
/, poetry, which were delivered in prop
er order. Songs were also INDUCED
J, in, such as the national hymn, GLORY
Hallelujah,' ETC., all Of which had a
tendency to animate and produce a
patriotic feeling. As the little tadds
!, waved their American flags, and sang
celery H~aiielujah,'' one could see
their little forms stretch to their fui
capacity. and readin each and every
face. 1--WE are the commencement q

SHERIFFs' ACCOUNTS.
Bell of Hill Has Two Complaints to
Make.


Hillsboro, Texas, November 2s.-Sherlff
Bell complains of the injustice done Tex
as sheriffs on out of county witness at
tachments and showed The Post cores
pondent an attachment issued by Judge
Hall in the Files murder case and directed
TO the sheriff of Denton county. The ac-
count for $1T,45 for bringing the witness
10 court was turned down BY the comp
troller because it was not shown that the
wisness had disobeyed subpoena. hold
ing that under the law a claim for carry
ing witness could only be granted upon
the witness disobeying the subpoena. Mr..
Bell also referred to an injustice 10 him
self in a case from Tarrant county where
he was ordered by an attachment to take
two witnesses 10 Fort Worth, who We're
alleged to be leaving Tarrant county TO
avoid testifyins in a murder case. The
affidavit of the county attorney was at
tached, but the account for slS was III mel
down because the comptroller contende1
there was no authority for paving 1t, al
though he admitted the equity OF the claim
Mr.. Bell thinks the law is radically de-
fective in this respect and hopes TO see it
as the sheriff is compelled when
such attachment writ reaches him to serve
1t and it costs him time and money and he
gets no return for it in such cases.
