Free Markets In 1berin.

At the recent election for corporation
officers in the town Of New Iberia. the con.
test turned entirely upon the free market
question. The Republican candidates were
placed on the free market ticket, as it was
called. against the citizens ticket, on which
were the candidates favoring the market
monopolies. Four out of seven members of
the council elected were on the free market
ticket. which secures the action of the
town council for free markets. The Sugar
Bors claims to be try thankful that free
markets are secure !. but regrets that the
four really good met, who were elected on
that issue should q g their election to Re-
puhlicana. ~

The Dickens Party,

They called it Dickens party. tho en-
tertainment given last night at Exposition
Hall. for the benefit of the st. Johns Pro
testant Episcopal Church. A very large
number of people wers there. and some
were dressed TO represent characters Great
ed by the great novelist. On the stage
they gave > few tablesu groupings from
"OIiver Twist and "Dot." Then there
were songs and choruses. come Dutch
reeitations. and harmonicum solo. all new
to Dickens, but so good that ne would have
been glad 20 hear them. Dickens put all
the sweetness OF his fancy into his young
girls. Emily, Little Nell. Florence, and
Others. His grown people were the odds
and ends OF humanity, representing some
weakness. villainy or popularity. The
Dickens girls las. night were very sweet.
and there should have been more Of them.
After the tableaus came refreshments and
dancing. with music by the Thirteenth In
:antry band. The people present enjoyed
the entertainment, and the society Of those
they met there.
