THIS is a world Of trouble and of
course it is to be expected that a news
paper has to take its share. The trou-
BILE with the Canon City, Colorado,
Avalanche was its name. 1t is useless
to quote Shakespeare to the people of
Canon City and say, "What's in a
name9" for they have desired the editor
of the Avalanche to change the name
of that paper. Probably it is too
sweeping. Be that as it may, the edi-
tor says he will adopt cognomen
more appropriate to the interests of
the county," and ii will hereafter ap-
pear under the peaceful! title of the
Fremont County Record.

A CURIOUS blunder was maze by the
Earl of Roseberry. He was married
with civil and religious ceremonies, aud
registered by both of them. The double
registration was illegal, and exposes
him to the liability of fine, and how
he is going to pay that fine in case it is
exacted, is what embitters Lord Rose
berry's honeymoon, and makes his new
married life burden and n worry.

MINISTER LAYARD's influence with
the porte is paramount. He is now
urged to make noble use Of his good
Offices by urging the porte to prohibit
the selling Of slaves in Turkey. This
win test his influence. If he makes the
request it will strike the Turk In Pc
cnliarly tender spot. Slave-selling or
buying is one of the supposed inaliena-
Bile rights Of Turk, and to be pro-
hibited from its practice would prove a
hardship possibly greater than be could

defeat, but it would break the back Of

And so the old man had to take the gold.
1t was the old story over again, of the man
who drew the elephant in the lottery He
did not want the gold, and when he had to
take it he did not know how or what TO do
with it. lie hired porter with hand
cart, piled the bags of coin into it, and nur-
ried away to the president of n neighboring
national bank, who, being personal friend,
consented TO allow him TO deposit his gold
and check against it. In that way he sue
cceded, after some trouble in converting his
property into greenbacks. The same thing,
under yariously altered circumstances, will
be of common occurrence during the first
year of resumption. People have BECOME
accustomed to the portability, the convent
encc and safety of legal tenders, and they
will use nothing else unless compelled to do
So


These considerations have weighed with
much force in forming our convictions and
opinions on the subject of our currency.
When we took charge of the REPUBLICAN





greenbacks based upon the national faith
aud receivable at par for all debts due the
Government and individuals. We made
that declaration based upon the most eS-
plicit confidence in our national RESPONSE
bility and integrity, allied to some ex-
pericnce and observation which has estab-
lished n strong conviction that the vast
business of our great country cannot be
done with coin without great inconvenience.
Coin, rs money, is q sort of legal discom-
fort in the conduct of business. II is no
better or safer, nor half as convenient rs q
the national faith, though in our
dealings with the Old World it becomes n
necessity, as gold is the recognized
standard Of values there, and when we trade
with that section we must conform TO the
recognized rules Of traffic as adopted by the
mcrrinl intercourse. Fortunately, however,
we have large balance of trade now in our
favor, which relieves our gold supply to n
great extent from draft for foreign Use, and
affords guarantee that there will be no
lack OF il in connection with the silver dol
lar, to answer all demands for coin ia the
work of rcdecming our own paper. There
is no sensible man living to-day who would
not sooner have n one thousand dollar
grccnback legal tender than the same
amount in gold coin, unless he is called
upon to meet demands from Europe. Then
so long as the Government has the option oil
rcdecming with either gold or silver, there
is not the slightest danger that there will q,
any time be any call for coin that will EN-.
barrasS it in the slightest degree.

There is one portion of our corn pro
duct which, in the South, is hardly eyel
utilized at all, while in the North it is
considered of great value, namely, the
stalks. OF course, If the fodder is pulled
Cor nOt,) and the corn is allowed to be-
come perfectly cured in the field, and
stocks become dry and hard, they are
OF no value for food. But it cut in
season, with the fodder on them, and
all cured together. there is but little,
1T any loss to the corn, and both stalks
and fodder make a tirst-late food for
stock. The proper time to cut the corn
for this purpose is " hen the grain has
become entirely hard, and the shucks
begin to dry. 1t will be found that the
the shuck on the ear begins to dry
sooner than the fodier-so that, if cut
and cured in this state. both the fodder
aud the stalks are fu. of nutriment.


In order to feed stalks to the best
advantage. New England farmers cut
and steam them. This ms kts every
part of them edible and wholesome.
As few Southern farmers are prepared
to do this, they would have to feed
them whole; but even this way they
would find that Il large portion of them
would he eaten and make good food.
When stalks green and full of juice, are
cut and closely shocked ny, or stored,
away they retain the juice a long time,
and as much of this juice is saccharine
matter, it is, of course, very fattenng.
Our farmers are too much in the habit
OF feeding, what stock they feed at all,
on corn, and we hope they
Will turn their attention to this method
OF utilizing the whole corn crop.

To-day we can safely say to the Dem


ocracy of St. Landry, "The victory is
ours" Owing to the terrible pestilence
that has rested over the whole State
during the past summer, the attention
of our best citizens has been called from
the political arena to the more pressing
duty of relieving the distress of the
sufferers from the epidemic and in pre-
venting its spread, but in the mean
time our enemies have been more than
usually active, night aud day. They
have been busy organizing their black
legions, and endeavoring to secure from
the ranks of our party some dissatisfied
sspirants as independent candidates by
the promise of the Republican endorse
ment. To accomplish these ends no
effort has been spared. Many of the
Radical leaders have devoted their en-
tire time since the adjournment of our
Democratic parish convention to this
work, and have made more thorough
canvass of St. Landry than was ever
made in any previous campaign by the
Radical party. In this work our own
people have not interfered; they have
been allowed (up to this time) TO or
ganiEe their dusky cohorts at any and
all hours Of the day and night end
have done their best in tleir endeavnrs
to disorganize our party, by stimulating
independent candidates, by promise of
their endorsement.


The result, however, has been to these
leaders complete and humiliating
failure. The Democracy of St. Landry
still presents a solid and united front
to the enemy. Our own candidates
have in the mean time been quietly,
but diligently at work and the apparent
success of the Radicals in their efforts
has proved, as we always believed it
would, their own destruction, it has
once more reused the people of St.
Landry and to them it has become not
the election of this or that man, but
the question whether we shall revert to
to the rule OF Yarmouth, Kellogg,
Packard and this class Of cattle, or
whether we will support the government
gained after the heroic struggle of 1876,
under the gallant leadership of Nichols
and Wiltz. |a


The Radicals have done their best in
st. Landry, for us here, our people pre-
fer and will have a government that
will protect the lives and property of
oil classes. We do not wish and will
not return by any act of ours to the
sad scenes of 1858 and succeeding years,
and to prevent this it is only necessary
that Radicalism should in this election
be buried not only here, but throughout
the State, and to completely bury Radi-
calism in st. Landry and give helping
hand to those of our party in other par
ashes, who are working with us to bury
1t in every portion of the State; it is
only necessary for every Democrat to
see that lie and every neighbor and
friend is Immediately properly regis
tered, and on the 9th of November to
attend the polls and cast their votes for
the ticket and the whole ticket as pre-
sented by the State and parish conyen-
zion. DO not wait for executive
committee or candidates, let every
democrat constitute himself COM
mattee OF one to assist in this work.

Landry win roll up such majority as
will make her the banner parish of the |

A youth who is manly and true.

No matter how hard you may try,
Your best efforts met with sneerl'

or his wtongs-were it only tear.
That softness chose to repress,
For sympathy often is dear
When bought with the price Of despair
And I wanted the poor boy to learn
That to give way TO trouble or care,
Would bring very feeble return.

Your life would be peaceful of course
But you probably then would be led
Here and there, without purpose or

At the qualities they cannot gain,
You might have very little to fear,
Which would save you some heart


ache and pain.
But since they were placed in the world g,
Like snakes, with their venomous


breath,
Must you stand, while their poison is


hurled,


And let the things sting you to death !?
Is it not worth something to know
That God has blessed you oyerInuch,
And given you power to grow
Beyond reach OF their: dangerous


touch?
Much is asked where much is be-

or God-given brain, TO take up load
Held forth by slanderous wight
OF humanity-a leprous thing,
Writhing and twisting with spleen
Every muscle laid bare, in endeavors to


fling


Over others the burden 'Uncleanp
Dear friend, set your mark far above
Such contemplate trials as these;
There are worthier people to love
So many your efforts will please.

Among the subjects to which the Leg
islature will be requested to pay some
attention, is the protection OF the lie
and health Of those engaged in mining
and manufacturing pursuits. In other
states, mines and factories are kept un-
der the most rigid and constant inspec-
ton. Death from an insecure factory
structure, or foul mine, entails
severe penalty on the owner or operator.


In this State, the question OF ventila-
ton is one in which the miners, who
are now a very numerous class, are ex-
pressing a deep interest. They natural
iv expect that the laws will afford them
reasonable protection in their pursuit;
A well-considered ventilation bill would
