The State Treasurer.

In the failure of the State Demo
cratic Conservative Convention to
nominate Maj. JIG. Moncure as the
candidate for Treasurer, an example
is offered OF the ingratitude of par
ties. If ever man was entitled to
a nomination that man was j. =.
Moncure. But those who run the
party machine are not mindful Of
plain obligations. Expediency it is
claimed should be the watchword.
Yet even expedlency frequently
yields to something else.
Maj. Moncure was our choice and
was, We believe, the choice of ma
jority of the good people Of the
State. By some means Moncure is
defeated, and greatly to our surprise
a very worthy man is chosen in his
stead. Weknow no harm of Burke.
We are certain that he has rendered
good service to the State in days
gone by. There is no reason why
he should not do the same in the
future. 1t is suggested that he is
too thick with Warmoth, and that
the bad company he keeps will con-
taminate him. It is said that he
will speculate out Of the Treasury
Office, and other things are said to
his detriment-none Of which we
believe.
What we know of the public char
acter and official record of E. A.
Burke leads us to believe he is an
honest man, and that he will bring
into the Office of Treasurer unusual
general ability and marked financial
capacity.
We shall support him, with pang
of regret it is true, that the man OF
our choice was not nominated, but
not the less earnestly and enthu-
siastically for that reason. At
present Burke and Scanland stand
at our mast head. Soon other names
will be placed under these, and to
all shall we give the same hearty,
cordial support. Let others do like
wise. We have no such certainty
in the future as to justify family
qua rels. Burke and the Democracy
must stand or fall together ClGi
borne Guardian.

Every year, since 1917, the yellow
fever has visited New Orleans, ex-
cept during Gen. Buffers reign of
1921. Not a case appeared
during those three years. This was
because he kept the city clean and
maintained very strict quarantine
against vessels from the West Indies.
For 81 years has this city been Wis
tied by plague, with the exception
eff those three years of military rule
when cleanliness was enforced upon
an unwilling people. We give the
following table. of the most notable
years, and number of deaths:

DR.. James Kilbey, a learned ply
stefan, of Washington City, thus
writes as to the origin, prevention
and cure of yellow fever:
The cause of yellow fever is of
vegetable brigham infinitesimal
poisonous vegetable in the air and
which inhaled is taken into the cir
culation, and from its growth in the
blood causes the disease; then to
prevent or cure must be by an agent
introduced into the circulation which
will destroy vegetable life. Sulphur
will destroy both animal and vege-
table life. The preparations Of sui
phur readily enters the circulation.
Common birthstone, burned nightly,
in the open air. around houses, is an
excellent preventive. Also:-take
10 grains of -four sulphur in sweet.
ened water or molasses, three times
a day. Should it purge, lessen thu
dose one-half. Two hours after tax.
ing this powder, take aromatic tine
ture of snlphuric acid, 15 drop doses
in a wineglass full Of water. Also
rub sulphur ointment ON the groir
and arm pits morning and night.
When attacked by the disease
apply cloths smeared with the ONT
ment over the whole body. Thi.
viii not interfere with the ordinar,
treatment.

Our Nominees.

The ways of politics are stranger
than fiction. Aud stranger than all
to many of our ardent North Louis
ianians is it, that our gallant Mon
cure should have been defeated in
the nomination for State Treasurer.
But his defeat is none the less
worse for the party. For worthier
recipient than Major Burke is not
in the State. All who have known
anything of our State affairs for the
last decade are familiar with his
qualifications and status. Earnest,
able and laborious, he has ever
fought Louisiana's enemies, and won
for himself most enyiable reputa-
ton as party organizer, success
full leader aad an incorruptible Dem
ocrat. We hoist his name with the
same concern We would have Mr..
Moncure's.
Our Congressman, Elan, was
nominated without opposition. This
is . just tribute to his labors, and
were it otherwise merit and conf
dence would lose their distinction
1t is the disposition of our District
at this time that no other man can
so fifty represent us in the next Con-
gress as Mr.. Elan.
We also put up the name of Hon.
w. III. Scanland for State Senator.
We have already mentioned his
name as distorted for his valuable
connexion with our past political
troubles. Mr.. Scanland's nomina-
ton is quite equivalent to his cleo
ton. And although an inveterate
Democrat, he will truly represent
the whole people of his District
| Albeit we invite our confrere this
way. The good people prefer to see
and hear their man. But whether
our readers meet Mr.. Scanland OF
not, we heartily assure them that he
is highly worthy Senatorial honors
on the Democratic ticket.
Our nominees are all tried, and
inspire the interested public with
confidence and enthusiasm. These
men are known for what they have
been and what they are to-day
They have not yet wearied in vel
doing. They will no doubt thorough
ly canvass the State and Districts
With Burke for Treasurer, Elan fol
Congress and Scaqland for our Stat,
Senator success is abundant,
promlsed.-Sp0Yta Rural Times.

Some of the Shreveport ice deal
ers have advanced the price from

Representative Blackburn, of KY,
Chairman of the Democratic Con-

thinks the political outlook is brill.

will have both Houses Of the next
Congress, by large majority, in
which event, he thinks nothing can
prevent the election of a Democratic

The Nominees.
REPRESENTATIVE.

tive is the highest encomium that
could be given that gentleman. He
was recognized by his compeers in
the last Legislature as one of the
best working members in that body.
The experience there acquired will
be of great value to him and U.S.
Bossier will send up one of the most
efficient members of the next Legis-
lature. Mr.. Vance has always been
true to Democracy and devoted to
the interests of his parish and State.
No better selection could have been
made for Representative.

Thomas N. Braden, Clerk of Bos
sier District Court from the Fall of
1861 to the Spring of 1873, bore off

extent, the peace and reputation OF
our parish. 1t will not suffer in the
