Congressman Broussard and Es-
topinai have both been criticised of
late for their vote or the tariff, siding
with the Republican, high tariff adj
vocates. We do not think such cri-
cism is at all just or deserved. When
the Republican party-for the sake
of political expedieney IN the interest
OF powerful trusts -g"es out and
makes free reciproeities with foreign
countries or gives their Inhabitants
the right to import sugar upon our
markets free of duty, it is then about
time for Louissana's representatives,
AS a matter of sef-defense, to adopt
the same tactics whenever the inter-

mand it. It's poor rule that don't
work both ways-..St. Mary Banner.

The Wife Away.

The wife Of a Kentucky farmer
went on a visit, and the farmer found
it necessary to do the milking, but
he had not counted the cow. She
was accustomed to be MIXED by the
farmers wife, and not by the farmer
himself. According 10 the decep.
tive nature of man land the general
depravity of the species, the farmer
donned his wife's dress and sun bon
net, and then aud there and thereby
wi'fn!ly and falsely pretending to be
Mrs. Farmer, whereas in truth and
and fact he was Mr. Farmer parad-
ing as the aforesaid Mrs. F., and by
the aforesaid false and fraudulent
preteuse, which was then and there
relied upon by the said COW, unlaw-
fully, feloniously convertly and fur
lively did fraudnlently obtain from
the SAID COW the usual quantity OF
milk.
So far SO good, But did he carry
the deception further ? Did he,
falsely pretending to be the aforesaid
wife, get up before day and build a
fire in the stove and get breakfast
and dress three children and feed the
chickens, wash the dishes, sweep the
house, darn the stockings, pick up
the pautaloons and remove the mud
dy boots from the floor, count out
the soiled clothes, higgle with the
beef man, have the yard rakcd, gath
er the vegetables, "write a Letter
