In fact at this establishment can be found anything and
everything that you need or desire. It is our business to
study the wants of our customers, and we flatter ourselves
that we can supply the demands of the country. Give us a
trial, as by close buying, fair dealing and liberality in sell
ing we are determined to merit all the patronage that we
may receive. We are also sole agents for the
AMERICAN POWDER COMPANY,
and therefore in this line we have unequalled advantages.
Call around and you will see that we mean just what we

Spirit of the Leolsiana Press.
Rather outside of our usual rule we clip
from the Marshall Herald an item in re
firence to wages which is somewhat forci
,le in its suggestions. jere it is:
The wages for a laborer in Russia i
ight cents for a day's work of fifteen
hours and. he "finds" himself. It is not
tated where he finds himself, but if he
worked at that rate in'this country hb
would find himself going "over the nill
to the poor house" in less than a month.
Eight cents a day, for fifteen hours la
bor! Wonder how much work could
otten out of a six year old child in
America, for that much money What
would it buy after it w earned ? certain
y not a sufficiency of ee
starvation. It iso
four free'Astit ons, . the trust
worthy laborer is not. lUpaid .o
his work, but he can i"aso procure an
-mount of it, if he honestly fulfills his
promises. The laboring population, al
ver the land, where they are not given
to vice, and following depraved tastes and
habits, have neat homes, happy familie
nd plenty to eat and wear. A story i
told of an Englishman who came over to
this country to investigate the character
istics of the laboring classes and was e
orted among them by an American friend,
n a Sunday. lie met men, women an
children with smiling faces, neatly and
aften-times elegantly attired. Finally h
suggested, "Where are your laboring peo
ple 1" The reply came, doubtless uttere
n a tone of triumph: '"These are our work
g classes." They presented a wonder
ful contrast to the half-fed and half cloth
operatives in English factories, and the
iscontented laborers in English foundri
ud workshops. Eight cents a day an
' d himself! No wonder the Russian l
borer is rendered wild by his bondage! N
wonder they meet in secret council an
ise the Brutus dagger against their
uer ! No wonder they srie in the might
f vindictive rage and long for more free
om, more light, more learning; less de
redation, less misery, less agony, w
nd suffering.
Why, a colored man,-ignorant, unin
elligent, and almost brutish- is paid i
ur sunny clime more than that to car
package a short distance, and the veri
st child is rewarded for any service re
Hired and rendered! Verily, the people
f free America have cause to bless their
nstitutions, when contrasted with such
acts as this statement sets forth.
The Shreveport Tmesw has struck a bon
nza; unearthed a gold mine, or else du
p~some Confedrix, A·ng.concealed iron
bound chests. Listen to it:
Mutilated coins do not 'gon well now.
We have three or four tone of that kind o
nurrency, accumulated during a succeesfu
nosiness career, and, as they are not edr
at, we propose td distribute them amon
ar friends, to hang around their child
n's necks. The white babies can have
he larger pieces and the colored ones t
ickele Call at once at the Tiues office.
After the above publication, we shal
ave nothing more to say relative to th
mptiness of an editor's pockets. Ton
if silver, nickels, etc.! Glad to learn thi
ery startling fact. Jerusalem! A Lou
a editor at that! No wonder he fee
ubilant and generons, and doubtless
ered joyful, happy and contented tI
housands of little ones, waife i luded
if the fortunate city of Shreveport.
From the Mansfield Dkemorat of a

mocratic promises of retrenchment ande
form.. We cannot perceive in what a:.yl
u extra session can remedy the evil coinm
plained of, by heaping an extra load 1 p,
n the burden under which the State i
taggering. Politicians may sanction ain,
pplaud it, but we much doubt whetlhe
he people will.
The same journal thus comments on a
practice which all peaceable citizeiu
both deplore and abhor, i. e. carrying con -
ealed weapons. It says:
The Baton Rouge Advocate has an aibd
itorial on the practice of carrying con
ealed weapons which concludes by call
ing upon the press to organize puhli,
pinion on this question.
The Guardiap ha.luged war against
he pistol and m &iji Jta 'birth ip
ate. Feeling that common decency, e
igion, morality amd-loe. of'eaee anthar
ony should cause every good man to
ke a decided stand on this matter wt.
ave never failed to cry aloud and spare
ot. We have demanded in the interest
f law and order that there should be a
rohibition of the sale of pistols, forth
aeon that they are good for nothing but
kill human beings. Others agreed
with us and the better element of the coin
unity endorsed all we said on the ques
tion, but the jurines are slow to convict
nd fines are light, so the practice con
inues. The people are careless and indif
erent about this question. While cogui
ant of the necessity of stringent meas
res are too apathetic.
If every man whdlknows that anothei
as carried concealed weapons; would re
port it; if Grand Jurors would not carry
o an extreme the idea that no notice
hould be taken of petty offenses, classiu.
concealed weapons as a petty offense; ii
petit jurors would construe strictly theim
oath, and Judges would impose severe
lines, we venture that pistols and knive
would soon be eaten by rust.
It is a matter of general congratulation
that the Grand Juries of Natchit-iches par
ish indict every man who can be prove
to carry or have carried concealed weap
ons, no matter how high his position in
life or how humble. It is another matter
of sincere satisfaction that the guilty par
ties are punished not by fines, but by im
prisonment in the parish prison. It is t
be hoped that the time will come when it
will be considered a personal disgrace ft
any man to be found carrying a deadl3
weapon in times of profound peace an,
among a law-abiding people. It is one o,
the habits of bellum days which it seem:
adifficult to reach, as it is to eradicate.
We trust that public condemnation will
a t a seal upon it and put a stop to it.
The Bossier Bauner has something to
say upon a subject which is attracting
much attention, not among politicians,
but tie majority of the honest and conl
nmon sense voters. Here is what that jour
nal.says:
Our government has drifted from itr
original bearing. At its foundation thii
vernment was one of the people, for th.
eople, and by the people. Now it is
overnment of the capitalist, for the capi
alist, by the capitalists. The peophl
hink they control this country. Thei
on't. The capitalists do. The people
hink they elect the officers of the coua

F the people do not select their cand i
lates. The politicians give the people
net two men, from which to select one. i
capitaliste do not select both of thesa
n, they flood the election with money,
secure the man they want. These
bs are becoming more and more ap
nt every year. Are the people help
Is Are they eonscions or unconscious
f their danger ?
The impression has been gradually gain
strength among the people, particular
ythe Southern people, that keen an
heming politicians have been playing
pon their preJlhdices and paseions; not foi
eir good and relief; not to rednee th
of debt and taxation; not to in
the facilities to edeucate their child
; not to banish the robbers and plun
rem fom high places, but rather to n
-n as stepping stones to serve persona
bition and personal aggrandisement.
he people are neither helpless nor blind,

by us is a suicidal onle. There is no pria.1
tical oreven conllmon sense in the pll)(h'
af sending to other countries or otlihe

the map of the great Northwest to be conl
vinced of the great advantages to be gainl

tion is the great grain raising portion eo

Now that the Atlanta Exposition is at
