Raw Material.

Deputy Warden VIII Thompson of
the state penitentiary has returned
from Yucatan where he hepurchased a ship
load of sisal to be used in the manufac-
ture of binding twine at the state pen

material was purchased at $2.7O per bale
below the market price
There is rumOr that the trust may
reduce the price but it is doubtful if
they can cut it very near to the ten and

THE POLL TAX.



Less than q month and half
remains of the time within which,
under pain of disfranchisement at
the next congressional election,
the voters of the State are requir-
ed TO pay their poll taxes. Nine
tenths Of the certificates already
issued have been to the property
holders, and, unless the lsboring
classes undergo q sudden change
of heart. it is more than likely that
the control of the return of the
next representatives from Louisi-
ana to the national legislature will
rest with the taxpayers.
The spirit of indifference which
pervades the community in this
regard is as mysterious as inde-
fensible. He who does not value
the right of suffrage at the paltry
sum of a dollar is certainly un-
worthy of its exercise; but much
more in our judgment is he to be
blamed when conscious of the fact
that in surrendering his ballot he
also refuses to contribute his mite
to the support Of the public
schools.
We do not hesitate to admit that
high as is our confidence in the
patriotism and public spirit of our
property holders, we should consi-
der it grievous calamity if their
supremacy at the next election
was made to depend upon the dis
franchisement of the great mass Of
the electorate. Government by
classes will scarcely be tolerated
in republican communities; yet
where so simple remedy is pro-
vided as the payment of poll tax
of one dollar, yearly, before the
31st of December, the failure to
resort to it must be accepted as a
plain declaration that the great
body of the people feel but little
concern in deciding whether New
Orleans is to be represented in
Congress by a protection Demo-
crat or a protection Republican.
Two years from now the local
Bosses" may be counted upon to
awaken from their lethargy, and
to make sure that their supporters,
armed with poll tax receipts, are
fully qualified to vote for munich
pal officers.

Iom Lyons one Of the prosperous
Farmers OF Lincoln township, dropped
into The Pioneer office last Saturday and
we certainly enjoyed a very pleasant as
we'll aa profitable visit. While here he
read a little homily that had better be
printed for the benefit of some of our
sluggish merchants. Some people sav
that Hope is the highest price town in
this section of the state, and it is a we'll.
known fact that the so-called wholesale
supply houses keep the farmers we'll
supplied with their catalogues. Mr..
Lyons compared the prices given in
hraabel, johnson & Co.'S. big ad in our
last issue, with the catalogue prices Of
the supply houses and found that the
same goods could be had as cheaplv
here in Hope at this store, as the prices
quoted below. Come merchants, mt
yourselves on record in the Pioneer. YOU
have the goods and you have the right
prices. Tell about it in black and white,
where comparisons can DO made.
Now is the time when Group and lung
troubles prove rapidly fatal. Tho only
harmless remedy that produces immedi-
ate results is Ono Minute Cough Cnre.
1t is very pleasant to take and can be
relied upon to quickly cure coughs, colds
and all lung diseases. 1t will prevent
consumption. Wamberg & jacobson.

IL designated the names OF the various
