The President and the Plat form. Congressman Oates, of Alaba mna, says that if President C'leve land parts company with the plat form of his party the party will 'will part company with him, 'which is true, but there is no good sreason to 1bsiieve that Mr. Cleve adand contempltees committing ,such a stupendous act of folly, and .all reports to that effect have ema nated from Republican sources, and are being industrioudy circu Ifated by the protected naanufac iturers, who are raising di sorts ol scares, bhoping to prevent the De •mocrats from reducing the tariff duties. President C(levefrnd is well •aware of the fact that he would 'divorce himself from his party were he to turn his back on the Chicago platform on .which he was nominated and elected by the people, and were the party so fool ish :,s to i dorse his repudiation ,of its platform, it would forfeit the confcAence and respect of the 'electors of the country and he .buried out of sight in the next -elections. Such intimate. persoanl and po litical friends of the President Cleveland as Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, and the Hon. Dan M. Dickinson, have stated in in terviews published in the leading newsnlpers that Mr. Cleveland has no idea whatever of abandon ing the work of tariff reform. The financial -question may 'cause some little delay in taking up tariff legislation, burt there ineed be no fear that the Demo '-rate will fail to redeem their ,pledge to reduce the tariff taxes which now rest so heavily on the industrial classes. The Demo ,crats will be frightened off from the work they have set out to do by *le scarcecrows which the pro tected manufacturers are now hoisting all over the political field. ---States.

Now quickly a fortuae can be lost in specuhtion is shown by the 'collapse of "Jack" Cudahy, the great Chicago pork packer, A few weeks ago Jack -udahy had afor tre of $3,500,000; and last Sa turday when he wanted to borrow some nmoney from the banks to uphold his pork corner he offeered; them $2,700,000 of excelklnt assets as seAcurity. Thle banks, however, ilid not want to lend money-the market was too tight --ven erao the best security. Then came the flurry Monday. In thirty minutes Mr. Cadahy's corner was smashed and he him self a bankrupt. Faiq4ank, who went into the speculation with him. has $2L,000,000 of real estate to mak good his losses. Kis and Cudahy's assets may pay their in dlebteduess. but it will resire good nursing to do so. Botlh of these millionaries, one worth $3, r0),00(, the other worth $2.000. 000, lost their entire fortunes - the acumulations of a lifetime of activity anid energy in just thirty minutes--and it was not hy fire either. In the matter of sweeping away fortunes the worst conflagra tion cannot come up to Chicago sJeculation. Times- )emo-rst. The Bank of Houma. The COURIER published in its last issue the fourth quarterly statement of the Bank of Houma. Notwithstanding the dull season and sultry dog days, the report is entirely satisfactory to the stock holders of the Bank and to those who patronize it. The bank commenced business last July one year .ago with a ca pital of $10,000. It soon became evident to the stockholders that an increase would have to be made in the amount of its capital stock and accordingly it was raised to $15,000. No trouble was experi enwed in disposing of the shares as the business men here reco gnized the convenience of having an institution of this kind in our locality, and have confidence in its management. A glance at its last report which shows in indisputable figures the financial prosperity of the bank, is enough to inspire the confidence of each and every individual who has money to deposit, but, who, owing to the small capital with which the bank was started hesi tated before doing so. It is not always the enormous capital of a banking institution that makes it thoroughly safe and reliable. A judicious investment of a small amount will often de clare larger dividends for share holders, and when the dividends are good depositors need have no fear. The Bank of Houma has done well thus far. Few eeuntry banks have made a better showing at the end of the first year's business. May its prosperity never wane. Houma Courier.

Especially is it golden when you are conscious of irritated nerves, and your temper is in the coddi tion which invites the last feather and rejoices to be broken under its weight. The most amiably disposed people have their days of darkness; their moods when nothing looks bright; their sea sons of inconsistency, when they astonish their friends by their success in the art of being dis agreeable. If you and I are adly aware that we are not in an ange lic temper, that we are fretted by petty things, and ready to quarrel with our nearest and dearest, in danger of saying sharp or bitter things prompted by to-day's mis ery, which to-morrow we shall re pent of in sackclth and ashes, there is one eaftegard within our easy reach. Feel as we may, we can repress speech. Our lips are our own. We may look their gate way, itf we cBhoose to whatever is unkind, of censoriaous, or unwor thy of our better selves. Nobody compels us to find fault audibly. Nobody arges as to scold or com plain. IT we avail 'urselves of the escape-valve of hasty speech we shall certainly suffer plaugs of regret by and by besides inflicting present pain on children and ser vants who canne answer papa when we chide; on brothers and husbands who are too patient or too proud to be reseattful; or, per haps on some deer aged heart, which has had its fall of sorrow, and does not need our adding a drop to the brimming cup.-La fourche Comet.
