Concluding a strong reply to a captious interrogator of the "What is it" variety of newspapers, the Commercial Appeal of Memphis thus states the contrast between Republicanism and Democracy : "The Republican party repre sents pretty nearly every coticeiv able vicious tendency in American life. It stands for extravagance for the trusts, for the tariff rob bery, the ship subsidy steal, and it stands for nothing in the interest of the people. The Democratic lenders may be wastiug valuable time on ghostly issues and shadowy notions, but there can be no doubt that the Democracy stands for what the Republican party does not. It stands for tariff reform, economy, honesty, aud the people. Some of our leaders may forget the creed at times aud some may chase will-o'-the-wisps, but in standing for all that the Republican party does not, the Democracy leaves but little doubt in the minds of its fol lowers as to what it is. It is only the renegades from the party who •re continually asking the ques tion, what is Democracy T" The contrast here presented could scarcely be improved upon for clearness and conciseness. When we look at the Republican party of to-day witli its profligacy and its riotous disregard of the in terests and rights of the masses, with its trnst-breeding tendencies and its love, "surpassing that of women," for the gigauticcombina tions formed for the oppression of the people and for wringing the hard earnings from the pockets of the consumer for the benefit of the trusts aud favored classes, it seems almost sufficient to say that the Democracy "stands for all the Re publican party does not." * 1 Stales. to / St no 11 in a Itrawf/hf with my coat off aud caught this wretched cold," say» the sufferer.

During the week there was de cided irregularity of demand and ultra-conservatism maintains. This experience is seasonable, the trade in m id -su m m et- naturally inclines to limited operations and prefer to buy in moderate way and at shorter intervals, thereby securing more recent or freshly milled stock. No one at this period can be ablivious to the destructive tandem trio weather, weevil and worm: thus far however, little complaint has been heard on such score and the present like the past season, is likely to find goods carryiug in safety to the end. Recent advances in Japan have cheeked its sale, nnd while still in the lead, it finds a close second in the Honduras sorts. Advices from the South note steady but limited enquiry along the Atlantic Coast. In New Or leans and at interior points, there has been a quickened movement. A firm front is maintained in the matter of prices, but holders appear to be a bit less confident and more disposed to cultivate the buyer. Although no large arrivals of new crop are due for a month, still with the hot sun where moisture has been ample the growth has pro gressed rapidly, and from such lo calities may como an early supply. Several small parcels have been re ceived during the past week, and the moral effect of their arrival tends to make sellers pliable and on the other hand, buyers cautions.

This means is al their disposal, and the famous Afrikander Hund, which is slill more alive than ever, is going to place it nt their disposal. It is now the Knglish who have to face the situation which the Hoers hail to face before the declaration of war. The Knglish had demand ed the franchise for the Hit landers. The Hoers refused because, by ac ceding to such ii request, the Boer element would liuve been swnmped by the Knglish in the Bond, or Transvaal parliament. Todny the Afrikander Hund is so organized that it will cause the Cape parliament to have au im mense Dutch majoriiy, and that is why the laic Cecil Rhodes ami the present Lord Millier were in favor "I suspending the constitution. suspending the constitution. Mr.'Chamberlain, however, lias decided lo leave tilings as they are Some people think that the posi tion taken by the colonial minister is a sign of farsighted wisdom, but others fenr that the Afrikander bund will again get the upper hand and govern South Africa for the sake of the Dutch. My personal idea is that Mr. Chamberlain's idea probably is to meet the immediate desirability of the Capo government passing cer tain measures, such as the indem nity bill. If these measures are not passed he threatens to have thei constitution suspended. This may have a quieting effect on the Afri kander bund, but only for a time It will be like playing a game of chess, in which the bund will be given up a good "man" for sake of expediency, and with the ultimate intention of check-mating the very following session. For the pre sent we must admire the English government for not profiting by their victory to govern Africa for the benefit of England. Cuvrtl I'tiral({sis. W. S. Daily, P. O.

In the Collums of the last Edition of yonr Paper; That supposed to be communicated Col loquy between Bill and Jack. Which I was informed by reliable Parties that the Demon object sought by the Colloquy Writer in his Ignorant form to insuate upon me. Because Im promoting a good cause. However I had came to the conclusion to iguore same, and treat same with Silence and con sign same to the waste Basket, to place the instinct of the Colloquy writer among tho oblivion, where it should be cast, upon its de moniac design, not with standing this fact, after reconsidering the matter carefully for tho second time I again nrrive to another con clusion That I would commit a rape upon iny conscience, and man-hood If I didnot uphold its natural dic tate by complying with tho proper answer which would meet the in stinct of the Colloquy writer as lie deserve although after reading an article in a colloquy form of mild Lunacy. Who only aspiration of the Colloquy writer is an Interdic tion to the State Asylum at Jack son, La., where he should have been consigned with his demon ambition to use his endavors to destroy the value of Human testimony. So under these above mention circum stances. I will therefore confine myself to treat of the article, and the Writer of the above mention Colloquy in its sarcastic form is trying to parsuade the uitelegent mind of the good People of this commuuity to believe that Im the organ or in other word the Leader or the Agent of the Labor union of this City. I deny same in the most emphatic term. Im simply sym pathizing in their rightful cause. Now as to the writer of the Collo quy feeling assured or am more than confident that Im not a judge of Human nature from a point of cycology he certainly must be a peculiar frame of man. Which I beg from his demon expressions in his Colloquy, tho entire community of New Iberia will judge bim ac cording to his merit in writing an article with a demon intention in a Colloquy form written by him in order to avoid the responsibility of his ignorance which he would otherwise assume as a man by writing an article and afixing his signature to it and let the good fair Minded People of New Iberia pass upon the merits of his article if there is any to be found in his evil inclination. From as a broad logical views as my intellectual ability will permit me to pass npon the chief aim of hit endeavors it is to criticise me because Im syrapa thizeing in behalf of a good cause, and to use his ignorant endavors to down fall a Body of men who are Law abideing citizens of this com munity and who have the interest and welfare of our progressive little city at heart, and who have organized themselves to stand to gather, and striv# for the welfare their community hand in hand. Gentle Readers you will Pardon me when I mention the fact the äSswISäb I deeply nimrcciatn (lie fnet tlint it 1,1 t' sl l'»bor federation has Ignorant Writer of the Colloquy, as you are the Judges of same, and I deeply appreciate the fact that it take the Power of Hrains to bo capable to Recognize I 'rains so I will leave that for you to pass upon its merits, and give him his just dues in accordance with his work. And you will also take the fact in consideration That the Writer of the Colloquy has shift from the Responsibilities of Iiis article by not appending his signature to as- ' siunc the tesponsibility of same So far as upon the merit of my article. Im more than willing to rest its equity, and merit with you to pass upon same the Cond People of this community to be the judges of same. I Peg that you will no lice tin 1 difference between this \rtiele and the Other Article! which was written by the union In which I simply assisted in writing! the other articles as each member of the union Ideas and suggestion was represented in I he other art teles j as it was signed in the form Official Capacity of the union, so this arti cle il I tier from the Others in the' sense that It is written by me Per sonally.
