known fact that the larger
city churches are the worst
sinners in this regard, while
the remote country church is
a big Improvement. This
spirit of the churches causes
many TO lose faith in them and
in christianity, which is also
wrong. The blame lies In the
fact that there are in nearly
every church persons who
are more anxious to Impress
their own prominence than to
promote the cause they rep
resent, and it is these people
who usually contribute libg
orally, are well-to.do and feel
themselves too good TO mix
with the ordinary-who are
appointed as ushers, officers,

Briefly stated the question
that confronts the country is:
VIII the inequalities that may
have arisen IN the tariff by
reason OF changed conditions
during the past ten years
justify a campaign for revis-
ion, which is sure to check
our industrial growth and de-
velopment. for the time being
at least? II it can be shown
tnat any industry, or any Sec
ton of the country, or any
class OF people are suffering
by reason of such inequalities
In the tariff, then it would
seem advisable to revise the
schedule; but so long rs all
of the Industries and all Sec
tions Of the country and all
classes Of people are enjoying
a greater degree of prosper
ity than ever before, it would
seem advisable to ''let well
enough alone" -Carrollton

NTER-STATE FAIR.

The first annual fair Of the Inter-
State Fair Il Exposition association
will be given at Elm Ridge race
track Kansas City. Mo-, this fall,
beginning September Esd and clos
ing October 9th. Into these two
weeks will be crowded q series Of
entertainments which in every re-
spect eclipse anything Of the kind
ever seen in the West. There is no
effort being made TO compete with
the various country fairs in this
territory, for the Interstate Fair

is both a fair and exposition. The

Jury had Just ordered an election in
the fourth and seventh wards in aid
of the road. ana he did not believe
that the people of the fourth ward
would be willing to vote two taxes.
1t was for that reason that Maurice
had been substituted in place Of
YOungSville.
Mr.. VOORHEES, stated that he believed
that the submission of the voting of
two taxes in the fourth ward would
probably defeat both. while on the
other hand the submission of prOpO-
sitiOn to vote tax on each side OF
the bayou would stimulate the people
on both sides and assist in carrying
the tax for both railroads. We were
at all times willing to do all we could
to help YOungsville. but we did not
want to do anything to interfere with
their progress and for that reason
he preferred to have the route of the
Eunice-Abbeville road pass along the
west bank of the bayou as he thought
that it would be unwise to ask for two
taxes to be voted in the same ward, as
likely to defeat both propositions.
Maj. DeClouet also said that he
would not do any thing to hinder
YOungsville from getting railroad,
on the contrary was always willing
and ready to assist them to the best OF
his ability. Because he believed that
trying to carry two taxes for railroads
in that ward would probably defeat
both he preferred to have the Eunce,
road pass on the west bank by way of
Maurice.ssHe asked for an expression
of opinion from the gentlemen from
Youngsville present. Mr.. A. L. Dyer
was called on and he said that he
agreed with the statements made.

to ask for the voting of two taxes for
