The Kleine Journal, of Berlin,
commenting upon the efforts of
the French press to incite the
German papers to joint attacks on
England, says: 1--WE Germans
have to prove that . deep gulf
separates US from our western
neighbors, who are shameless
enough to hurt a lady by spreading
vile caricatures. The rough but
brave knights of the middle ages
always knew how to honor q lady.
We sons of an enlightened nine
teenth century cannot afford to
be behind our ancestors in this
respect"

The familiar assertion that pc.
htical wrongs can be righted and
political reforms effected only by
non-partisan movements is refut-
cd by the lessons Of experience,
which constitute the kind Of logic
that leaves nothing to be said on
the other side.
There il . great deal of tire
some cant about the evils of par
tisanship, and the necessity Of
improved political processes; and
it comes mostly from . class of
men who ignore actual circum-
stances and are incapable of deal
ing successfully with any ques-
ton. If all party lines should be
obliterated tomorrow, it would
be found necessary to establish
others in order to secure good

We. the Democrats Of Louisiana, IN
sssss eonventioo assembled, do hereby
declare our allegiance TO the Chicago
platform Of 1895.
We denounce the monopolistic COM
bina&ion known rs trusts and demand
that the legislature and CONFESS do pass
such laws within the competency Of each
~ shall regulate, restrain and suppress
them.
We impress upon our representatives
and senator's in congress the paramount
importance Of judicious Federal aid to
the levee system Of the Mississippi river;
to tho jettying and deepening Of South
west pass; to the improvement Of the
great waterways Of the West and South.
and to the prompt building Of ship
canal connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cihc oceans, al works Of national i'm
portance, In which Louisiana Is deeply
interested.
We indorse the conservative and BUSH
ness-like administration Of Gov. Foster.
Under that administration the credit Of
the State has been enhanced and maine
tanned. Every dollar Of the indebted
ness created since 1880 has been exiting
uished or provided for. No new indebt-
edness has been created; public affairs
have been placed upon . cash basis; the
State institutions have been enlarged
and improved and their usefulness in
creased; the common school system has
been broadened and extended; appro-
priations for public education have been
increased; popular interest in the
schools has been aroused and stimu-
lated; the school term has been length
ened; the levees have been strengthened
and held against floods OF unprecedented
height and duration, and at the same
time the State has met and honored the
extraordinary demands upon the treas
ary due to great public calamities.
We pledge the ticket which We have
nominated to the maintenance and per-
petuation Of the patriotic, economical
and wise administration Of public affairl
established by it's predecessor and othe1

Death Of kr. II. ". Bradford.

The grim messenger Of death
has again visited another family
in our little town, and taken away
forever, at = good old, age Mr.. II.
w. Bradford, who died at the res.
idence of his son-in.law, Mr.. T.
NJ. Vaughan, at $3.50 Tuesday
evening, the 9th inst; aged IS
years.
Mr.. Bradford was born in Mis-.
sissippi, removing from that State
to Caddo parish in 1851, where he
lived until two years ago, when
he came to Benton, making his
home here until his death. He
was united in the holy bonds of
wedlock to Miss Mollie Mansfield,
Of New Orleans, in 1857, who died
about eight years ago. He was .
devoted soldier Of the "Lost
Cause" . jealous Mason and .
true Christian. Five children
survive him-Mrs. T. n. Waugh.
IN, Of this place; Mrs. Dr.. John.
son, Mrs. l. r. Thweatt, Mr.. w.
r. Bradford and Mr.. c. +. Brad
ford, OF Greenwood-who were ct
his bedside when he died. The
funeral services were conducted
by his pastor, Rev. J. n. Brown,
assisted by Rev. J. 8. Campbell,
and the remains were removed
Wednesday morning to Green.
wood, where the interment will
take place to-day.
Mr.. Bradford was . tender.
hearted, whole-soul man of God,
with nothing small about him.
His was not the bright, fitful light
Of the meteor, but the light Of q
clear, steady, full.orbed, well.
rounded religious character. He
loved to work for God and human
ity. His work was we'll done.-
Somewhere We read Of m ancient
Greek coin which had stamped
upon it m altar and . pillow; be-
tween them stood = bullock and
beneath him these words:
Ekatero protkxasos eissi, which
was their way for saying II an
ready for either-for the yoke,
and for service, OF Tor sacrifice. u
This motto well illustrates the
spirit Of the deceased. His plow
was left standing in the furrow.
but it was we'll aimed and he look
ed not back. He had faithfully
discharged his duty, and when
the summons came he Wa ready
10 obey the call OF his Master.

West Duluthiams will Generate
With Down Town Club.
A number of the West Duluth DEM
ocrats met in J. A. SCOTS office last
night and organized the West Duluth
Democratic club. There was plenty of
enthusiasm at the meeting from the
start. Plans for work were discussed
at length and it was decided to pro-
ceeG along the same lines as the Bryan
club down town, the two societies CO.
operating. Bert Fesler, president of
the Bryan club was present and be-
sides assisting in the organization
made a stirring speech. There will be
a number of vice presidents, the idea
being followed from the down town
club. Each precinct of the Eighth
ward Will have vice president and
also the Fourth and Fifth of the
Seventh. These were elected to office:
President, S. c. Murphy; secretary,
John Connolly; treasurer, w. E. Kern.
The following were appointed on a
committee to arrange for a hall to hold
the meetings.: David Sang, A. Ander-
son and M. N. Clark. The club will
wait now for developments in the
working of the Republican club Of
West Duluth and then meet every
move of that organization with jump.
NO date has been set for the next
meeting, but it. is likely that one will
be held each week in the different pre-
clncts and at that time the various
vice presidents will be chosen.

the bad weather and small attendance
a great deal Of business was transact
ed. The chapel reports showed that
nearly all members were working and
that work was good. The union dis
cussed plans for Labor Days prepar-
ations. Chas. Seymour, w. j. Moran.
and Gus. Winberg were appointed as
committee to secure badges and pre-
pare a float. The union endorsed the
action Of the Illinois printing crafts in
