Indiana and Ohio.

AS all eyes are now centered upon In
diana and Ohio, Democrats are naturally
anxious to learn everything bearing
upon the probable result OF the election
to be held in those two States on the 18th
proximo. In view Of this fact we pub
lish elsewhere an able, comprehensive
article from the New York Sun, review
ing the situation in Ohio, to which we
would call especial attention. Tt will
De seen at glance how easily that State
can be scored on the side of the Demo-
cracy. All that is necessary to be done
to accomplish this great desideratnm is
perfect organization, faithful work, and
energy skillfully applied-all Of which,
we have the best assurance, are being
brought into vigorous action.
Indiana is Democratic State, and We
entertain not the least uneasiuess as to
the result there. Notwithstanding the
moDstrous efforts that are being made by
Republicansto carry the State, they have
thus far been successfully checkmated by
the almost superhuman exertions Of her
stalwart Democratic leaders.
The outlook is bright and promising
for triumphant victory by the Demo-
cracy in both Indiana and Ohio, and we
congratulate the country upon the forth
coming suspicious event.
St. Landry democrat., 1880-09-25
Newspapers.

The world was never we'll civilized,
and we doubt if it ever could have been,
without newspapers. All the great dis
coyeries and inventions that are the
wonder and glory of the world, have
been made during the era of newspa-
pers. A person who cannot read i'll this
nineteenth century is a pitiable object;
he belongs to another age long since
past, and is here like fish out of water.
A person with "book learning only,
who does not read the papers, is like a
recluse he is an oyster shut up in his
own little shell, and knows nothing of
the outside world, and has none of that
wonderful fund of information which
can be acquired only from newspapers,
and which no person can be without
and maintain his proper position in the
world. Tie knowledge contained in
books is dead, hidden, compared with
that Of newspapers; but newspapers
are the veins and arteries through which
the living knowledge, the news and
CsCutS VI llLC, dlC
to everyone. The knowledge of books
has to be sought for; that Of newspa-
pers is thrust under every persons
nose. A person with no book learning,
who has gone through good course of
newspaper reading and keeps it up, is
much more intelligent than the mere
"book worm," and much better fitted
for the active duties of life.
If a temple should be built to illus
trate modern civilization, printing
press should be at the pinnacle. The
sciences Of law, and medicine and di-
vinity, have existed from the remotest
ages. They were practiced in Rome,
Greece, Judea, Egypt, and other an
cient nations, in their rudest ages but
it never occurred even to the wisdom of
Solomon that such thing as a news
paper would ever exist.
The modern newspaper is the result,
the outgrowth of all the wonderful dis
covelies and inventions of the civilized
world. The newspaper press is very
wonderful thing as machine, but It's a
small part Of the means by which news
papers are made and delivered to the
readers. The press, ink, type, and
white paper, the materials used in get
ting out u paper, are all wonderful
thugs in their manufacture, and in the
way they are manipulated to furnish the
readers with printed newspaper but
without educated and trained minds in.
all the departments of learning, and
without postal facilities, stages, steam
boats, railroads, telegraph wires, cleo
tricity, etc., there would be no such
thing as the modern newspaper. Every
thing contributes to it. 1t is the cream
of the achievements of modern civiliza-
ton. 1t is the light of the world. Sup
pose suddenly all newspapers were to
suspend publication, the world would
be left to grope i'll mental darkness.
Civilization would stop; the wheels of
Progress would go backwards, and the
tide Of improvement which set in with
the invention Of the printing press,
would cease to flow.

The High Rate of Freight ON
Cotton from Texas to
New Orleans.

In our last issue we spoke Of the enor-
nous charges Of the Texas railroads on
cotton shipped to New Orleans. The
following letter addressed to the Plea
yuDe substantiates the comments we
made in reference to those charges:
LoNGyIEw, Texas, Sept. 10, $780,
Editor Pic.-It was announced here
to-day by telegraph that all cotton ship
ments down Red River had ceased on
account Of low water.
Themerchants have been holding their
cotton with a view to ship by the new
railway route through Houston to New
Orleans. But one of the leading mer-
chants says that the through rate was
announced at IS 25 per bale, and it kill
ed matters as dead rs Hector. st. Louis
gets the cotton, taking it at $50 rs, and a
much longer distance than to New Or
leans. The merchants had been waiting
with intense solicitude the opening of
the new route, all intending to ship to
dered all their hopes, and St. Louis
reaps the benefit OF the insane policy on
the part of our railroad men.
It will be impossible to divert the trade
from st. Louis to New Orleans, unless
low tariff is introduced. You need en-
terrain no hopes of getting the cotton
from this section unless the tariff is made
as low as to st. Louis. With reason
able rate the new route will have as
much as it can do. The people are an
xious to go to New Orleans. The alter
native is at hand. A. b. G.

The ST. Landry Medical and Surgical
Association.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Opelousas, st. Landry Par. La, Sept. 16, 1880.
In Memory of Joseph Leonard Estorge, II. D..
REQUIEscAT IN PACE.
To-day we record with a deep impression of
grief and regret; such as only a sense of ire
trieyabe loss could occasion; the death of Dr..
J. l.. Estorge, an honorable member of our
Association.
Those who had the happiness to know him
feel that the medical world has lost one of the
truest, most observant and pulosophic minds
that have ever contributed to the eXaltation
and usefulness of practice.
In tie difficult study of the ways of the world
he met all difficulties with independence of
thought, q high moral, all untiring energy, and
an ever acute appreciation of truth, which
was with him almost an instinct
No man was less alive to his own merits or
more willing to make concessions, when no
principle appeared to be at stake; yet, when
good work was to be done, or a carefully
considered opinion to be maintained, Dr. Es-
slstance and every one readily yielded to the
enthusiasm of a man who put his whole heart
into whatever he did.
AS a practitioner, his mind being llnwarpcd
by vague theories, he displayed an aptitude i'll
selecting at once the fittest and best means of
treatment and the results were corresrondingly
feiicitous.
Tt may be truly said of him that he was a
pfeux eheYalier III the profession, and never so
happy as when alternating human suffering.
Disparaging remarks or miscellaneous gossip
was never heard from DR.. Estorge with him
duty was feeling and not a name.
Thus on the Goth August, 1885, passed away
from among us man, who, without attracting
any. great degree of public attention, which,
owing to extreme humility he seemed never to
have been ambitious of counting, was under
beneficial Providence the means of preioHg-
ing MANY lives and throwing much sunshine.
A better man, one more exclusively devoted
to his profession, TO his family, and to the
welfare of the whole population would be hard
to point cut.
Respected for his personal virtues, trusted
for his professional skill, and beloved for his
sympathizing feelings, it was natural that DIR.
Estorge should have acquired great popularity
and most extensive practice.
Consequently few individuals i'll his station
OF life have ever gone to the grave accompanied
by . greater coneotlrse of friends. young aud
old, rich and poor, more respected aud regretted
by all.
May the great, the generous and tho good
With noble envy, sigh for such a grave

The Great Eastern Coming to
Texas

A letter to the Governor of Texas,
dated London, Sept. 2, says:
"Before this reaches you the Great
Eastern will be in the hands of engi-
neers, preparatory to making her first
Texas trip. The object of the scheme
is to bring over emigrants, provided the
people of the State show a disposition
to aid the undertaking, and prepare to
receive emigrants, give them the neces-
sary assistance in securing homes, and
give them employment"
The Governor, says an Austin dis
patch, has written the company fully in
regard to the matter, and there is no
reason to doubt the ultimate success of
the scheme. Possibly before many
weeks the great ship will be in our
waters.
Our opinion is that she may reach
New Orleans through the deep jetties,
but we have our doubts as to her being
able to enter the port of Galveston.
St. Landry democrat., 1880-09-25

The report published in the New York
papers, based upon a sensational dis
patch purporting to come from New Or
leans, to the effect that yellow fever ex-
lists at the New Orleans quarantine sta
ton and neighborllood, has been prompt
ly contradicted by the Board Of Health
officials and the city papers. Several
cases Of material fevers occurred some
fifty miles below New Orleans, but moth
ing bearing any resemblance to yellow
fever. There has been no yellow fever
anywhere in the South the present sea-
SOD, and it is not at all likely that there
will be any. New York or any other
papers, before giving publicity to such
alarming reports, should first inquire
into their truthfulness. A damaging
report of the sanitary condition of a city
may inflict an injury of millions Of dol
lars upon its commerce and business
generally before it CAN be contradicted
in manner that will allay the appre-
tensions thus excited, and restore per-
feet confidence. There has been quite
enough of such nonsense about New Or
leans. 1t is time to "dry up"

And here comes another agricultural
millionaire in the person Of Dr.. Hugh
Glenn, the California farmer, who owns
$1,000 acres of land, and has this year
$1,000 acres in wheat. He has $50, 900
sacks ready, each holding 14O pounds,
but he thinks they will not hold his gol-
den harvest. DR.. Glenn is a native of
Virginia, a graduate in medicine, and
was soldier in the war with Mexico.

The Maine Election.
The Fusion Candidate for Governor !
Ahead in 497 TesyRs-Five Towns
Still to be Heard From.
The Plurality Amendment Carried by n
Large Majority.

Large Majority.
Despite the strenuous efforts of Blaine
and other prominent Republican lead
ers of Maine to reverse the decision of
the people at the late election in that
State, it is gratifying to know that they
have thus far been unsuccessful. That
these brazen, INSCRIPTIONS politicians
have made every human (or, rather,
fiendisil) exertion to fraudulently "count
out" the Democratic victory, none but
extreme Radicals will deny.
Plaisted's plurality in 497 towns is ia,
with five towns yet to be heard from.
These five towns, in 1876, gave Talbot
Dem 60, and Conner Rep.) 81.
The very fact that all the returns are
not yet in, though they should have
been received several days ago, is suffi
GENTLY suggestive of the frauds that
have been perpetrated. Where the re-
turns gave Davis Rep.) clear MAORI
ty, they were promptly reported; but
in Fusion stroDgholds, where it was we'll
known that Plaisted (Dem.) was ahead,
they were kept back to be "doctored" by
the Republicans, who unfortunately
have the whole election machinery in
their hands.
The plurality amendment was carried
by a large majority. Under the old re-
gime it required a one-third majority
of the whole vote cast to elect. Now a
plurality only is sufficient.
We annex the full vote thus far re-
ceived for Governor, embracing 497
towns and plantations, as they are called
-signifying settlements, we presume:
