Business In New Orleans.

The following excerpts from Dun's
Review OF Dec. d, showing general
and market conditions at New Orleans,
will prove Of interest:
General Retail trade in
holiday goods continues quite large.
Jobbers report material falling of
in business, owing to the disposition
ofcountry merchants to buy sparingly,
due mainly to the decline in cotton.
Merchants and planters are holding
cotton in anticipation OF better prices.
Collections are a little backward for
the same reason.
Cotton-Receipts ofcotton for the sea-
son amounted to 5, 574, 009 bales, against
4, 831 ,007 last year. Stocks at all ports
amount to l,046, 6e6, against 93s, o4o
last year. The market has been weak
and has declined almost steadily. At
one time future contracts were as low
as 7.05 cents, which is the lowest for
several years. The average decline in
futures is about fifty points. Spots are
down seven-sixteenths.
Riee-Reeeipts OF rough rice for the
season are 963,ee5 sacks, against /,
o7o, 692 last year; receipts OF clean
rice 226,530 pockets, against 1876, 1872
last year. The market for rough rice.
has been very quiet and trading Of
limited proportions. Clean rice is.
fairly active, with prices steady and
unchanged. Dan Talmage's Sons re-

A Ray OF Light in Russia.

The Car of Russia has adopted one
reform that will do much to lessen the
tendency to secret plotting in that
land. He has granted what England
secured long ago. the right of open
trial Hereafter men and women suS.
pected of plotting against the govern.
ment will not be secretly tried by a
court that is bound by its very consti.
tuition to convict, but will be tried
openly, with some hope of justice.
This step is due to the war with ia
pan, and will be one of the reforms
that come to Russia through that
conflict. 1t is not the only ray of light
that will be let into the dark places of
Russian methods of government.

Strikers Dislike Soldiers.

Next to the independent workman,
the strikers hate the state authOri-
ties who protect him in his rights. The
right to work" is vested only in a
labor union, and so the Strike-breSk-
en-" with the policeman or militia
man who prevents him from being
murdered, becomes at once a deadly
enemy. There can be no miStaking
the significance of this animosity. In
1t the labor union stands revealed not
only as the foe of public order, but of
the sovereignty of the state itself.
Organized labor, when logically car
ried out, means state socialism, that
has long been recognized.-Indian-

AN ANNIVERSARY
Democratic State Platform Objects to
Honoring Mother of Lincoln.

In the Democratic state platform the
governor is arraigned for taking the
Soldiers Orphans Home Band to JEFF
fersonville on one of his jaunts and
trying to saddle the expense of enter
tanning it on the State Reformatory."
1t requires knowledge of the circum-
stances to understand the motive for
this particular plank" The 'jaunt'
in question was a pilgrimage by Gov
ernor Durbin and other state officials
to the grave of the mother of Abraham
Lincoln, upon the occasion of the dedi-
cation of monument to her memory
in the little cemetery near the Indiana
cabin in which the great emancipation
spent his boyhood. A philanthropic
citizen of Illinois had erected a shaft
at the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln,
and no public provision having been
made for recognizing its dedication,
Governor Durbin and other state Off
Gals journeyed to Gentryville at pri-
vate expense. The governor deemed
it appropriate that a band composed
of the sons of Indiana soldiers who
helped to uphold the hands of Abra-
ham Lincoln should accompany the
party, and he contributed out of his
own pocket one hundred dollars to
meet the expense of their trip. At
Jeffersonville there was a wait be-
tween trains, and at the governors di-
rection these wards Of the state were
given a meal or two at the state insti-
tuition located at that place, the state
being saved at the same time a meal
or two they would otherwise have
eaten at Knightstown. The then SUI
perintendert of the Indiana Reforma-
tory later rendered to the governor
personally bill for the entertainment
of this band, which the governor per-
sonally paid And this incident be-
comes a Democratic state issue in
platform celebrating the fortieth ami
verysary of another Democratic state
Platform wherein the son of Nancy
Hanks Lincoln, in the midst of strug-
gle for the preservation of the Union,
was denounced for the adoption OF
measures essential to the maintenance
of the national authority.

Prominent Democrat Bolts.

W. S. Armstrong, former mayor and
postmaster of Kokomo, has created a
sensation in political circles there by
deserving the Democratic party and
pronouncing for Roosevelt and Fair
banks.
For more than forty years Mr.. Arm
strong has been the recognized leader
of Howard county Democracy. He
will take the stump for the Republican
ticket Scores of other Democrats
there will vote the Republican ticket
this fall. In a public statement Mr..
Armstrong said: Parker is tied to
Wall street and the trusts and is
against the masses. No true DEM
crat can vote for such a man."

Mr.. HanIy and Labor.

Investigation is quite sufficient to
prove the truth of the assertion that
Mr.. Hanly, private and publicly, has
always been an earnest friend of la
Dor, and there is not an iota of evil
dence to the contrary, notwithstand-
ing the Industrious efforts of self
perpetuating Democratic politicians
masquerading as labor leaders who
have resorted to all manner of ques-
tionable schemes to discredit Mr..
Hanly's candidacy in the estimation
of organized workingmen." malay

The Man That Does Things.

We met an old style democrat on
the side walk in LapOrte Monday and
he was free to say that if he lived to
vote next fall he should cast his bal.
lot for Theodore Roosevelt for presi.
dent. He would do this because RooSe.
velt is a man that is doing something.
AS for Parker he knew scarcely syl.
liable. He seemed to have no policy
and no one knew what he would do
were he successful at the election. II
was not SO with Roosevelt. He knew
all about that man what he stands
fOr.-LapOrte Republican.

D. A. Wood of Kokomo is the second
prominent Democrat OF Howard coun-

banks. Mr.. Wood dc lares that he
will vote the Republican ticket from
top to bottom this fall. He has
stumped the state for the Democrats
in every campaign in the last twenty
years. The turning down of Bryan at

porate interests behind Farker's can
didacy are responsible for his defec-
