JOURNALISTIC The Baltimore Daily
Sun last week entered its ninstieth
semi-annual volume. The Sun pur-
sues the "eyen tenor Of its way as
great newspaper. In common sense
dignity, and adaptation to the wants
of the largest number, its editorials,
correspondence aud compilations ol
news are unsurpassed.
The Westminster (Md.) Advocate
fiQnalizes it's advent into the seven
teenth volume by appearing in a
dress Of new type, etc. We will add
to its just estimate Of itself as q
county paper that the Adsacats is ore
of the foremost journals in the State
The Baltimore Morning Herald ap.
pears in a new typographical outfit
The conduct Of this paper is marked
by an immense amount Of enterprise
in the way of collecting nswa and lay
ing it before the public in readable
style. The editorial comments upon
men and things are exceptionally
good. By the way, our old friend
Robert Haydn, holds nigh plaes or

He is, moreover, an exceedingly

TIE Cumberland Times thinks the
late democratic ticket represented 200
strongly the labor elements Of the
county; hence its defeat. In the
future it advises that
All interests should be represented on
the ticket, with precedence to none. Then
no interests will combine in antagonism to
II, and It's chances Of success will be great
r. Bat If becomes suppliant either
to .he railroad interest, the mining interest,
or the labor Interest, It must expect to an
,aFonize the other interests, which VIII
combine 10 defeat 1t.
We regret to disagree with our es'
tsemed nsighbor's plan. Nothing of
the kind will answer while hundreds
Of democrats, with little grievances,
prefer to vent their revengas rather
than have the party succeed. Where
the majority is SO decidedly against
them as here policies of this character
are inevitably fatal. A ticket pam
dsring V all interests will no more
satisfy individual demands than one
arranged to suit csrtsin interest.
All those displsaHsd, no matter how
far their own separate wants may
conhist, will join hands in voting for
the opposition or staying from the
polls.
In q minority party disposition Of
this character is, as before indicated,
necessarily suicidal, and urtil the in
sane disposition can be eliminated, it
appears idls to talk of success. 1t
may be that, as the Times sayf, ever
since the democratic party was formed
It has been not only the avoSed
champion of labor but it has proved
itself the friend Of the POOR man,
but when it's corporate, aristocrstic
and e1tra-superfue elements repudi-
ate the tradition so far as to extort
the confession that ss a specially it is
q failure, we cannot see how an anoma-
lous cancellation Of all elements is or
can be king cure-all.
The best lesson to be learned is
enterprise, activity, unsel6shness,
magnanimity and patriotic, inveterate
cohesion in the interest of the people.
The day is coming when some party
must take its stand upon this so.id
platform. That which d oes it earliest
and best will be the party Of the future

TIGER BEND, LA, Nov. 18th, 1881


Editor ST. LANDRY DEMOCRAT:
For the last week we have had what
we might justly term floods Of rain. Our
caused by the constant tread Of teams
hauling heavily laden wagons loaded
with cotton, and general traffic Of the
country. The late rains have in a
measure stopped or retarded the sugar
mills from grinding in the surrounding
country. | must report that there is
yet considerable cotton in the fields
nnpicked, which with few more weeks
of fair weather could be gathered.
Work is booming along on both the
Morgan and n. O.. Pacific railroads.
The Morgan company have gone to
work on their depot building at Cheny-
vile. We learn from official circles
that as soon as the depot is completed
at Chenyville the company will go
to work on large and handsome depot
at this place for the accommodation OF
the Bend and the surrounding county.
To-day, or at farthest, tomorrow, the
NJ. L. r. r., and the n. 0. Pacific r. r.
will form junction at Chenyville. AS
soon as possible thereafter, regular
through trains will run between New
Orleans and Alexandria.
Without any attempt on the part OF
your reporter, | am forced to say that
Tiger Bend has more life and business
than any country village in the State.
This is perhaps saying much but never
theless true. To-day we witnessed the
sale of $4,000 worth of cotton in one lot.
This transaction took place between
Capt. A. NJ. Haas, the live merchant
and planter of the Bend, and Mr.. E.
Plonskey Of Washington. Mr.. Plonskey
is live man and one that looks forward.
He sees that there is hope for Wash
ington to become cotton market of no
small proportions, hence he sets the ball
to rolling. That is what we all want
enterprise. Three cheers for Washing
ton. Put up cotton compress, the
country will justify it. The crops are
growing larger year after year. You
have the railroad and water facilities
for shipping and moving freights with
dispatch. In the next three years
Washington should have $1,000 or 10000
inhabitants, her mills should be filled
with the hardy sons of toll, giving out
to the country by their handicraft our
own home made furniture, our wagons
and farm implements, while her cotton
hundreds Of willing hands and the pro-
ducts of these mills finding sale in
every state of the Union. Let your
merchants, business men, mechanics,
farmers, and workingmen, think over
the subject, then 60 to work, and show
to the world that there is one spot in
the Pelican State that has life.
Among the many visitors calling at
the Bend in the last few days we will
mention the following: Mr.. Leon Wolff
and Mr.. E. Plonsky of Washington, La.
Mr.. L. Hearsch, of Loyd's Bridge, La.
Mr.. A. Wolff, Jno. F. Maloney, Gus.
Hazard, merchants of Chenyville, La.
Your readers can't help but see that
the bend is live place if it's name has
something Of an ugly growl about it.
Well, / must close, this letter is
growing lengthy. Yours,
JOHN O'SHANE.
P. S. 1 must beg pardon of Mr.. E.
Plonskey, for not honoring him in the
above as Mayor Of Washing ton, and the
same to Mr.. L. Wolff, as one of Wash
ington's city councilmen.

Fear of Disease.

While the plague was raging in Bu-

charmed lives. OF the three hundred
men SO employed. not one died Of the
disease. 1t has often been noticed
that during ~pestilential diseases, ply,
s~icians. undertakers, nurses and grave
diggers. whose business compels con-
slant liability to infection. have usually
escaped in a far greater ratio than their
numbers would warrant The .'charm'',
of this immunity from the prevailing
scourge is very simple. They are not
scared. They are positive to the dis
case, and repel its attacks. Fear is a
great ally Of death. Whoever Is afraid
