they were lost. On a claim I had in the

OPENING or THE Sta TE
CAMP4/GN.

Those who are opposed to the
present State administration met at
Rayville, Richland parish, on the
Fourth of July. Senator Caffery
fired the first gun at what is termed
the ''machine," without, however,
mentioning the name of Gov.
Foster. The Senator stated that
he was not a candidate for any Of
fee, State or Federal, and that he
was trying to purify the ballot in
this State: AS usual the senator
was frank and outspoken in his ut
terances. One of the speakers was
Hon. Charles J. Boatner, who had
great deal to say about the
machine" and the ssring'. This
gentleman is exceptionally we'll
qualified to speak on these subjects.
He has been there himself. Once
upon a time he was elected to office
by an unreformed ballot and he has
also belonged to sundry and divers
rings. Other gentlemen present
have not always shown such an i'm
placable hatred for those detest-
able things which they now SO
sca:hingly arraign.
Gov. Snyder, Judge Blackman,
Mr.. Ransdell and others had made
previous engagements and did not
attend They sent their regrets.

mature to open the State campaign

press any opinion on the situation

Daily States.
Reeensly the Republican news
papers have been saying good
deal about the great prosperity
which the country is enjoying and
the high wages paid TO labor, but
within the past week there have
been strikes and rumors of strikes
in different parts Of the country. re-
sulting from the refusal of labor's
demands for better wages. Expe-
rience with the protective tariff has
demonstrated that it is not only the
mother of trusts, but also the
breeder of strikes. When the coun-
try is really prosperous wages are
high and contentme mt reigns among
the working classes and the wheels
of industry run smoothly.
At the present time what Presi-
dent Mckinley calls general pros
perty" is monopolized by the big
trusts and combines which raise
prices to consumers, but refuse to
increase the wages of labor, conse-
quently we hear Of the organization
of strikes and shut downs. The tin
pIats trust yesterday closed all of
its mills rather than grant an ad-
vance of wages to its employees, and
so, 900 men are idle. Last night a
strike was inaugurated at the Home
stead Steel Works. which employs
4, 900 men. and it promises to be as
great a battle as that which &C.
Cured there between capital and
abor in 1899, but it is to be hoped
haiti will not be attended with the
same bloodshed.

Instead of gaining ground the op.
position is weakening every day.
Many persons who had been de.

only to the rich have been correctly
informed and are fast coming over
to the side of progress and educa-
ton. When exposed to the search

those who would array the poor
against the rich are shown to be

ture to predict that. the opposition
will experience q complete collapse
before the election. No amount of
sophistry can convince the inteili-
gent voters of this parish that it is
to their interest to vote against the
special two mill tax. The people
of Lafayette appreciate the fact
that they have an opportunity to Sc
cure an institution which will be a
blessing to themselves and their
posterity. Those who go about
the country Prating of their love
for the poor are emissaries of dis
cord, and whether sincere or not,
they are sewing the seeds of ig-
norance and illiteracy and en-
the very thing which is,
in great measure, responsible for
