Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
l"rgest sale OF any medicine In the
c ivllized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution of
Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
1ndigested food, regulate the &C
tim Of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action Of the
system, and that is ali they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, t.
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For
sale by the Lafayette Drug Co.

lR. BURKE and THE
YETERANS.

The Gazette thinks that Mr.. POr-
teus Burke, of Iberia parish, has
been unjustly censured for his vote
against the bill appropriating
$Ico, 900 for pensions to Confeder-
ate veterans. Mr.. Burke, in ex-
planning his vote, made very elo-
quent speech in the House of Re-
WINGED that the present revenues of
the State will noe permit the appro-
priation of 100000 toward the
support Of INDECENT Confederate
MI. Burke is second TO no one in
his admiration for the gallant sur
vivors Of the Confederate army and
is heartily in favor OF an amend
ment which will authorize an in
crease in the rate of taxation from
to on mills, the additional half
mill to be devoted to pensions.
If Mr.. Burke is satisfied tina. the
present revenues are inadequate he
is right to oppose the bill making
an appropriation which the State
will be unable to meet.
The people of Louisiana would,
we believe, respond with their char
acteristic liberality to an appeal to
provide for those Of the old sol
diers who need assistance. These
old men have done too much to be
neglected IN their declining days,
and Louisiana would be unworthy
tn remain in the sisterhood of States
IL il were so une rateful and hard
hearted as to fail to lend a helping
hand to these chivalrous men whose
vaior and patriotism have enriched
the pages Of history and inscribed
the name of the old Pelican State
high ON the pinnacle of undying
fsae.

10010no'S O1o8r0C0.
Louisville Courier Journal.
Indiana's assassination Governor,
twith q great flourish quotes Judge
Canirill to the effect that he would
not try a sheep-killing dog under
the conditions surrounding his
court. and makes the saying serve
as plea and pretext for refugee
Taylor.
The quotation is to- all intents
and purpose faIseh BOD. But it is
of piece with the whole proceed
ing as we'll as characteristic of the
wicked and corrupt men who pro-
cured the murder of William
Goebel. Judge Cantrill referred to
Taylor's own troops. These had
by Taylor's orders swooped down
upoL and possessed themselves of
the State Capital. They overrode
everything and overawed everybody.
Surrounded by them. Taylor defied
the courts. He thought himself a
mighty man of war in his armed
castle, and he secuted the peace
officers. Under these conditions
Judge Cantrill used the language as
cribed to HIM. Yet Mount quotes
it in Cantrill's despite and Taylor's
behalf. By his whole course of
conduct he seems bent upon making
himself accessory to Goebel's muir
der after the fact.
The case of William Goebel is
simply that he was a poor boy, who
rose to eminence by the force of his
brain power and will-power, and
that, becoming both dangerous and
obnoxious to corrupt omnium
gatherum Of politicians and capita
lists, he was by the orders and
agents of the combine deprived of
his life. In his case the instru-
ments of murder happened to be
Republicans. Under other condi-
tons they might have been Demo-
Gratis; because the corporations
which, by their own wrongdoing,
find it necessary to control legisla-
SAOAA1 hoSS ~ AASo PO1SANSS OuI arc
Democrats. or Republicans, &C
cording to circumstances. The
taking of the life of William Goebel,
like the justification of it, was pro-
cured by the money of the Char
tered Companies and was accom-
plished mainly by the aid of mer-
cenary newspapers. The plan was
first to destroy his character, then
to make it a merit to kill him, and,
finally, to defend the assassination
by all the arts known to organized
wealth and Inscriptions men to
divide and override, to deceive and
master, the unorganized masses of
the people.
Mount is merely a typical politi-
clan of the corrupt school. He
does what his master, the money
changers, tell him to do. He has
no opinion, or conscience of his
own. But, he is welcome to Tay-
lor. Birds of feather flock to-
gether. In the long run justice will
find way. Murder speaks not
merely With miraculous organ, but
it is ali-pervasive; it will down at
no mans bidding, not even at the
bidding Of Mount; its memory is
haunting; it's pursuit is inclusive; it
is sleepiess; by day and by night it
knows no rest and gives no rest;
and. often he who flies from IFS
awful shadow rushes into its very
arms. Indiana is welcome to Mount
and Mount is welcome to Taylor.
But day will come for both.

THE PH/LADELPH CON-
TENZION.

The Republican convention at
Philadelphia was unquestionably
one of the most attractive stage
plays ever presented in this coun-
try. The effect upon the imme-
diate audience was marvellous, but
what impression it created in the
minds of the great mass of Ameri-
can voters remains to be seem
Stage Master Hanna officiated with
the glittering pomp of an oriental
potentate. His DEGREES, backed
by the corruption fund of the trusts,
were law. the disobedience of which
was punished by political annihila-
ton Tom Reed and George
Frisbie Hoar, men of brains and in
dependence of character, who re-
fused to "crook the pregnant hinges
of the knee that thrift might follow
fawning," were not heard at Phila-
delphia. The plaudits of Federal
offce-holders and trust hirelings
were reserved for Hanna, the
holder of the campaign bag; Roose-
welt. the spectacular hero; Taylor,
the fugitive; Quay, the discredited
plum gatherer, and incidentally for
Mckinley. Never in the history
of this country has there been held
a political convention which was so
subservient to the behests of one
man, the accredited agent of the
money power.
The Boston Herald, which has
been a supporter of Mckinley and
his administration, is disguised with
the servility of the Philadelphia
convention and does not mince
words in expressing its contempt
for it. The Herald says:
1.-THE set speeches of Wolcott and Lodge,
and the resolutions themselves, are crammed
with misleading statements, but the speeches
are of the kind these orators were appointed
to make, because it was known that they are
adopts in the rhetorical art known as SUD-
presto veri and suggestio falsi. All the
is easy to delude the supplemented voters
Perhaps this is a safe premise. The want
OF wise and sagacious opposition is counted
upon to drive voters to the Mckinley
for the claims made in his behalf.
''The convention was absolutely harmo-
NOUS and absolutely useless an indication
of public sentiment. No representative of
anti administration sentiment on any sub
ject was given an opportunity even to get
himself Kissed by the subservient .lackeys of
power. There was more independent
freedom of speech than in an assembly of
Germans, Russians, or Turks. Such ma
tional convention was never before known
in America. Twelve years ago it would
have been the death of any party submitting
to it. Perhaps it will be SO now. 1t may
be that there are yet some sparks of living
Independence in the Republican party, that
it is not moribund organization composed
| wholly of dictators and cravens. There is
| more hope of the nations purity and safety
in the angriest free fight of party caucus
or convention, such as Ben Butler and Fred
Williams have given samples of in this vi
cni,y, than in such convention as has
been held this week in Philadelphia, having
regard to the unrelieved acquiescence in the
tyranny of its control, and its emptiness of
any genuinely popular Character

Would not this tighten the burden
somewhat for the poor men who
now enjoy the privilege of paying
the bulk of federal taxes7
Is there any just reason why the
rich should enjoy government pro-
lection to the fullest exten, and pay
nothing for the benefits conferred7
In discussing this question the
New York Journal says: "All taxes
are income taxes. They have to
be paid out of income, and they
ought to be paid gu. OF surplus in
come over living expenses. 10 be
truly and justly proportionate they
ought to be based. not on the total
income but on that surplus. The
larger that surplus the more taxes
its fortunate owner can afford to
pay. The man whose entire in
come Is absorbed in providing a
meager living for his family has 10
surplus, and therefore he ought not
to be taxed. The one whose living
ton of his income and whose sur
plus mounts into the millions can
afford to be taxed heavily. Taxes
such as our present ones which wipe
out the entire surplus of persons
with small incomes and leave per-
sons with large incomes unaffected
tend directly to suppress saving
among the masses and promote the
concentration of wealth in the
hands of the few. Taxes produ-
cling the opposite effect would be
worth having for their social bene-
fits, even if the government had no
use for the money they produced. "
In view of these facts the de-
mand in the Chicago platform for
an income tax should be reaffirmed
with added vigor by the Democratic
national convention at Kansas City.

There are liars and liars. Some
are of the Ii Hung Chang pattern:
the smooth, diplomatic prevarica-
tors. Some are of the Tom O'Chil-
tree kind: the cheerful story-tellets
who instruct and amuse and greatly
add to the gaiety of nations. Some
are of the Eli Perkins species: these
excite the wonder of the world and
are living evidences of the magma
tive powers of the human MIND.
But there is a class that hatch dull,
insipid lies which have neither the
merit of originality nor the bad
quality of doing harm: these pro-
woke and deserve the contempt of
sensible people.

Deafness Cannot be Cared

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an fnflamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have rumoling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Physical Exercise for Elderly People

When William Eyarts was asked the
other day to what he ascribed his long
life and excellent health, he replied: l
don't know, unless it is because don't
take any exercise Those who know
the venerable gentleman best recognize
the answer as absolutely true. Mr.. Eyarts
takes no exercise. He has carefully avoided
exercise for many years. When he went
from his house to his Office he would not
walk block; he would take carriage, no
matter how short the distance. Mr.. Ev-
arts isn't the only public man who has
theory that physical exercise, added to
mental effort, is waste of tissue, which
tends toward debility and shortening OF
life. Joseph Chamberlain is a conspicu-
ons example. He spares himself all physi-
cal effort, so far as he can. He will not
walk up a single fight of stairs if he can
help it. Senator Hanna is, perhaps, the
most notable exponent of this principle
in Washington Vigorous as he is in
speech and in mental effort, the senator
IS seldom seen save in an attitude which
suggests physical repoSe.

The Horse In Battle.

When it comes to battle horse shows
no fear of death, no sign of being over
come by panic in all the wild tumult of
the battles roar. A horse in one of our
batteries in the Murfreesboro fight was hit
bya piece of shell, which split his skull
so that one side was loosened. The driver
turned him loose, but when he saw the
team he worked with being driven back
for ammunition he ran to his old place
and galloped back with the rest When
an officer pushed him aside to have an
other horse put in he gazed at the new one
with most sorrowful expression in his
eyes. Then he seemed to realize that the
battle was no more for him, and he walked
away and laid down and died The officer
declared that it was broken heart that
killed him.-Dumb Animals.
