Bob Taylor's oppossum. A e convention had been called by the t animals to settle some matter of importance pertaining to the ani - mal kingdom. After the meeting 1 had been organized by electing a chairman and secretary, the ques tion came up as to how they should vote. The coon rose up and said: f "Mr. Chairman, I move that we Svote by raising our tails." The a opossum rose up with a grin of - disgust on his face and said: "Mr. ,,'Chairman, I oppose that motion. I, Mr. Coon has a long bushy and stripped tail, and is only seeking ':an opportunity to make an exhibi . tion of it before this convention, j while it is well known that we a 'possums are afflicted with a black r and rusty tail that is scarcely fit to be seen in public. And, be sides that, Mr. Chairman, if the n motion prevails to vote by raising of your tails, I want to say right here that the billy goat has alrea dy voted.' "If the nomination of State offi cers is to be made by a convention, IT the nomination has already been it made, and we would prefer not to make a fool of ourself over the matter. If the press of Louisiana will stand together and demand that the people be consulted about who shall rule over them the de mands will be regarded and some thing like a decent politics will e attain in our great State." ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, is narrated " by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful con he dition. My skin was almost yel ,d low, eyes sunken, tongue coated, i pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day ,t by day. Three physicians had gi ven me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; tomy great ' joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 60 cents, guaranteed, at Labbe's 4 drug store. Evils of Ring Rule. Monroe News. This being "a government of the people, by the people and for the people," as the Democratic party Scontends, then each citizen is a sovereign, with equal rights as all other citizens and entitled to equal voice in choosing all public offi cials. But rings and political cli ques have been formed which have taken from the people some of their rights. The operators of these cliques and rings are strong, shrewd men, who have their lieu tenants in all districts and wards -lieutenants who do the will of the %osses without hesitation or Squestion. No independent man can long stay in touch with a poli tical clique. The moment he as seerts and dares maintain his inde- ti pendence the mandate goes forth P to oust him. This ousting of in dependence has resulted in the rings being composed of little, subservient men as lieutenants but d with public patronage at its com ºmand enough of subserviency has 1 been obtained to control states and I thwart the will of the people-and t in many instances almost taking from the people the sovereign right of choosing public officials. This is lamentably true of Louisi ana, and if the State is ever to be rid of this political oligarchy the f people must assert their indepen - dence and vote for no man nor g men who are unwilling to ask a a nomination at the hands of the people, and for no candidate for d governor and legislators who are not willing to pledge themselves e to such legislation that will take e the large measure of public patro if nage out of the hands of the gov r. ernor. d A Thoughtful Man. g M. M. Austin of Winchester i- j Ind., knew what to do in the hour , of need. His wife had such an e unusual case of stomach and liver k trouble, physicians could not help it her. He thought of and tried Dr. e- King's New Life Pills and she got e relief at once and was finally cur ig ed. Only 25e, at T. J. Labbe it drug store.
