If Blanchard is a silver man, then
we'll take Price or Vilkinson gold
bugs-in ours. We know the latter
two are against us on the finatncial
question, but if anyone knows n0ow
Blanobard stands "he is a good one.
T'HE PROGRESS is i:1 h0 wise a sen
sational journal and dou't care, and
dever did, to get up a reputation in
that line. \ e are aware that some
newspapers, like some men, desire
notoriety and W\ILL HAVE It at \ I.atever
cost, feeling that when talked about
they ae making their way in the
world. But remembering that the
pol,ct is the imist commented on of
aniy (':lo animal, THE PRO()iRESS has
nmever cared to be the subject of dis
cassiom in any such mtnuner and way.
Judge J. H. Ferguson, of New Or
learns, sustained the demurier 0led by
•Jndl;e noise's attorney's in the case
against the latter for oppression in
office. Of course he did. However,
THE P1ROCGRES does not think that
Judge Ferguson's name as a jurist
will ever be coupled with Marshall,
Choate, Story, Kent and that gal
axy.
Can we not draw the attention of
our good people to the horrible effect
of the cocaine traffic in on o
our good joeople realize to what ex
tent it is carried on! Surely not for
they would shudder at the thought
and act with force and power.
The Legislature inust put its foot
down on it.
THE PROGRESS will now venture the
assertion that Messrs. J. M. Tilly, of
Bienville, J. J. Stewart, of Webster
and E. C. Dillon of Sabine parish will
not indorse nor support the Republi
Popnui dicker. We would be glad
to hear from these gentlemen on the
sul)ject.
If there is much ability in C. Har
rison Parker, we have always lacked
a suticient quanti y of it to ascertain
it in him.
THE PROGRESS thinks A. B. Booth a
far better man than many who now
deride him for being the Populist
I nominee-for awhile.
A ColBiapy.
"lLook here," said a friend Satur
day. "iHow many subscribers has
THn: PRoGREs.; S anyway ? Does every
body in town take it'?" "No friend
our senior replid, "not all, why d
you ask ?"
-Well, replied the gent lemen. near
ly every man I have meet to
day had something to say about
your paper, telling what it .:tid etc.,
until I had come to the cmr:,m'usion
that every family in town took it."
Well, replied our s-,:ºi,,r, I suppose
there are but few who do liot read
THE P'(iREsiP (and re 'rllig we expect
to have the UnIIe of nearly every
family on our subiicripti iu list."
"I have just this to say," rojoined
the gentlemasn: "I cannot see how
any one who likes a good paper, one
who upholds the right, can longer
fail to show his appreciation by tak
ing THE PROGRESS. I would not be
without it for a great deal, and my,
wife likes it even better than I .o."
Blanchard, like Napoleon, subordi
nates all things to his own ambition.
Unlike this great general he fails to
appreciate his1 followers' prowess
and there is no word for them. Like .,
Napoleon he will finally go down in
humiliating defeat. And Loulsiana
will be tbe gainer thereby.

If we saw Cleveland in a river
drowrr!ng and we had the means to
save him we'd do it; b we'd let him
stay there long enough to get on a
powerftl big scare before we pulled
him out.
i Last Saturday we were again una
ble to supply the demands for Tr'lE
PROGRESS. Reaso',--T-'' many new,
subscribers.
If Cleveland is a patriot and states
man, Washington, J,.fferson. Jackson,
and Lincoln were sentimentalists and
"lMiss Nancies," whomn ni ambitionus
yv u h should strive to emulate.
