j. M. KENNEDY,


The State Central Committee bias
issued an appeal to the people OF
Louisiana, which is published in
this issue, asking for contributions
to the national campaign fund to
defray the expenses of the cam
paign, which is now being inaug-
urated by the Democrats over the
Union. The Democratic party is
making a noble fight against the
Republicans and their allies, the
Carnegie Steel Trust, the Standard
Oil Trust, the Sugar Trust and 9TH
er Trusts, that are now pouring
their millions into the campaign
fund of the Republican party. We
have no such sources to look to for
such immense sums OF money; but
if each of us will contribute our
mite it will help along the cause we
are striving for. The success of
the Democratic party was never
brighter than it is to-day. Then
let us do our duty in helping 1t
along to victory.

TO THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA

The Democratic State Central
Committee of Louisiana has issued
the following which should be lib
orally responded to by every Demo
crat in the State and by every man
who hopes to see Republican gov.
eminent perpetuated in this country:
To Democrats and other supporters
of William J. Bryan in Louisiana;
The National Democratic Com
mittee is IN need of funds to defraY
the legitimate expenses of the cam
paign now on. Louisiana is looked
to for a reasonable contribution,
An appeal to this end is made.
Remember, that the cause WHICH
the Democratic party represents and
stands for in this fight is the cause
of the people. 1t is the republic
against the empire. 1t Is struggle
for the maintenance and perpetuity
of the institutions handed down by
the fathers.
Trusts and gigantic combinations
to control the trade, the means of
transportation and the riches of the
country are arrayed on the other
side. To the individual voter and
plain citizen, therefore, must the
Democratic party look.
All to whom this appeal is made
can contribute little. Do SO &C.
cording to your ability. No con-
tributions, however small, refused.
In the aggregate they will amount
to a considerable sum.
Contributions may be made to the
following, who will duly acknowl.
edge same and transmit to Chair.
man Jones of the National Demo
cratic Committee:
Hon. 4. B.. Kruttschnitt, chair
man Democratic State Central Com
mittee, New Orleans, La.
Hon. n. c.. Blanchard, Demo
cratic National committeeman for
Louisiana, Shreveport, La.
Hon. I'll. G. Cage, Chairman Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Democrat
ic State Central Committee, New
Orleans, La.
Democratic State Senators and
mem bers of the House of Represe-
tatives are appointed committees in
their respective districts and par
ishes to solicit contributions, and
are requested to act with prompt
ness and energy.
But it is earnestly hoped individ
ual contributions will not wait to be
called on. Send in your subscrip- |
lions at once to any one of the gen.
tlemen named above.
All newspapers in this State de-
string to aid in the election of Bry-
an will render great service to his
cause by reproducing this appeal in
their columns, calling attention
editorially TO it, and giving the SUBJ
Jet as much publicity as possible.
By order of the Democratic State
Central Committee.

John J. ingalls, on Death.

{From speech on the death of
Senator Benjamin HI. Hill, of Geor-
gia; the Congressional Record, Jan.
20, 1882
Ben Hill has gone to the undis-
covered country.
whether his journey thither was
but one step across an impercepti-
BILE frontier, or whether an inter-
miDable ocean, black, unfuctuating
and voiceless, stretches between
these earthly coasts and those invisi-
Bile shores-we do not kown.
Whether on that August morn
Ing after ueath be saw more elori-
Gus sun, rise with uhimaginable
splendor abover celestial horizon.
or whether his apathetic and uncon-
scious ashes still sleep in cold obi
vion-we do not know.
whether his strong and subtle
energies found instant exercise in
another forum, whether his dexter
Gus and disciplined faculties are now
contending in higher senate than
ours for supremacy, or whether his
powers were dissipated and dispersed
with bis parting breath-we do not
know.
Nv bether his passions, ambitions
and affections still sway, attract aud
impel. whether he yet remembers ne
as we remember him-we do nor
know.
"These are the unsolved, the in
soluble problems of mortal life aud
human destiny which prompted the
troubled patriarch to ask that mo-
mentous question for which the GEN.
lures have given no answer: s.If
man die, shall he live again?''
Every man is the centre OF a cir
lie whose fatal circumference he can
lot pass. Within its narrow confines
lie is potential, beyond it he perishes
md If immortality is splendid but
lelusive dream; If the incomplete
less of every career, even the long,
st and most fortunate, be not sup
'lemented and perfected after its |
ermination here. then he who breads
0 die should fear to live,- for lite is
tragedy laore desolate and inexpli-
able than death. /

From reports received from diff
ferent portions of the parish this
week, it is said that the crop condi-
tlons have changed a great deal
since our last report. The strong
winds that prevailed for several
days last week and the extreme hot
sun that we have been having has
burnt the cotton up and has caused
it to shed. A half crop is about all
that can be looked for, is given by
