THE GOyERNORSHIP.

Among the gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned to succeed the
present executive we know of none
more surely calculated to heal the DIS
cussion caused by the present heated
dissension than that OF Ex-Governor
Nichols. 1t seems to us that all the
elements which now appear so antago-
nistic, could easily unite upon man so
conservative and, at the same time, SO
universally popular. We do not propose
to write a eulogy upon Governor
Nichols. He does not need to be writ
ten up by the press, or to have his mer-
it's made known to the people, neither
would his candidature impose upon his
party tine burden of constantly defend
ing his character or conduct. All as
saults made upon him would recoll
mon the assailants, and his popularity
and acceptability with the masses OF
the Democracy would remain lmpreg-
nable. We know that cunning polltl-
clans not seldom succeed in defeating
| the will Of their constituents IN noml-
mating conventions. But we are con-
| vinced that, if the attempt is made IN
this campaign, it will fail. Notwitl-
standing the present sounding newspa-
per cutlery in certain districts OF the
State, we doubt not that popular de-
4 mand for Nichols will override all such
opposition and break to pieces the slate
already formed. 1t is wholesome
| thing for the masses of the party now
and then, to take command. In oul
opinion, this is most fit occasion to d.
that very thing and we fully expect tt
see them do it. And when their repre-
/ sentatives do assemble in convention
we expect to hear the cry-Stand from
UNDER! So mote it be.

THE ST. LANDRY DEMOCRAT
OPELoUsAs, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1883

From the political talk current here
abouts and among intelligent democrats
of the country, we note a desire to make
the pending campaign one of ideas and
measures rather than one of personal
issues and contests for Office. The true
and legitimate object of political con-
yentions is to afford convenient me-
dunn through which the masses OF a
party can effectuate their wishes and
wants in governmental matters. The
selection OF candidates ought to be sub
sidiary to this purpose, but untortu-
nately it has not been SO. 1t is right
that party should instruct the repre-.
sentatives it sends to the Senate and
House, when they see fit to do so, and
the convention that designates. candi-
dates for these places of trust is the
proper lobby to give instructions. 1t
seems to us that our parish conventions
ought first to formulate their wishes as
to measures, and afterwards make their
nominations. Persons who seek NOM
ination from such bodies for the legls-
latnre, could have no valid objection to
pledging themselves to vote and use
their influence in favor of the measures
suggested as a condition precedent to
their names being permitted to be put
in nomination.
We suggest the following as matters
that ought to be considered by our next
convention
The passage Of law repeating the
last amendment to the election law and
restoring the provisions of the act OF
1877 which place the appointment OF
commissioners and location Of polls I'M
der the control of the police juries and
the returns under the sheriff as return
officer.
Repeal Of the law authorizing the
Governor to appoint police jurors ant
ordering an election at the COMPRESSION.
al election of 1886 for police jurors.
Some legislative provision to prevent
discrimination of freights on rail roads
and regulating freights and passags
thereon throughout the State.
The repeal of the law authorizing tbt
appointment of an Inspector o.
weights and measures in the parish 81
as to relieve merchants from the inqui
ries and useless toll levied annual.
upon them by these petty officials.
We will most willingly open our col
nmns to citizens who desire to maxi
suggestions upon this subject matter
The people should consider their owl
wants, and be prepared to act at TIN
proper time. We commend the subec
to their consideration.

The captains of the schooners, Emma

The Adveytisey's shipping reporter
falls into glaring inaccuracy in trying
to correct the BULLETINS reporter a abou t
the Canopus. He says she discharged
$50 tons, and had only so tons left on
board-total, 500 tons. The Canopus
brought 115O tons of cargo to this port,
where did the other $50 tons go to-.
The first mate of the Canopus is respon-
sible for the statement that 45O tons of
cargo we've still left, and presumably
he knows little more about it than the
accurate (?) '7Isey."

A NEW DANGER.

An alarming piece of news comes
from Paris, says the Lancet. 1t is
started that an official at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs there has been
attacked with yellow fever, COM
municated to him through despatch
from Brazil. This, if true, is a
startling occurrence. We have re-
peatedly warned our readers against
the danger of disseminating disease
by means of books and toys. We
believe circulating libraries are COM
mon sources of peril, and that many
grave and even fatal illnesses may
be traced to their agency. Books,
especially of the entertaining"
class, are read by sick persons,
either in bed when recovering from
fevers and communicable diseases
generally, or during convalescence,
when perhaps some chest affection
with a cough infects the atmosphere.
1t is, probably, impossible to gnard
against this, because the organic
particles which carry the infection
or contagion may lie for weeks,
months, or perhaps years, between
the pages of q bound book, to be
dislodged at some unpropitious
moment when the volume chances
to be handled by susceptible person.
1t would be difficult to imagine a
more powerful apparatus for the
conveyance of disease than book.
Among the maladies most easily
communicable by this agency may
be mentioned measles, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, ordinary sore" throat,
whooping-cough, bronchitis (perhaps
phthisis), and other chest affections,
in the course of which the lungs may
be giving off poisonous breath and
expectorations, and disorders in
which the skin is the seat of abnor.
NAL changes, or may be throwing
out infective material. In short, all
that can be communicated is more
likely to be communicated by a
book than in almost any other way.
1t is obviously impracticable to
disinfect books without injuring
them, and the plain inference must
be that circulating libraries are to be
regarded as possible centres for the
dissemination of disease and that
all books used by the sick should be
destroyed Immediately after use.
Disease may be communicated by
dispatches, letters, or books. 1t is
we'll that this should be more gene
rally recognised.

IGNORANCE.

"This country only desires to
borrow for purposes which are
directly or indirectly reproductive
and for just such purposes as these
other countries newly settled by
white men have been borrowing"
Weekly p. c.. 4. Aug. 4th.
1t is positively certain that the
individual who penned the above
either has not read our Loan Act or
else does not know the meaning of
the words he is using. Not one
single object for which the Loan
Act expressly states the loan is to
be raised is directly reproductive.
All of them may be said to benefit
the Kingdom and produce more
wealth amongst it's citizens, perhaps,
but not one of them will directly
return a single cent to the Govern
ment to repay either the principal or
the interest of the loan. The whole
of that must come out of the
revenue.
Then take the second statement
"for just such purposes as these
other countries lie. British Colo
MES. Where will the writer of that
article find schedule of Loan
Bill passed in any Colony for such
vague and ill-defined objects as this
one is. No Colony has ever dared
to ask for loan for works not re-
directly productive, such as Rail
ways, water-works, etc, bringing in
direct income except in very small
sums. And again what Colony or
Country however small or waiting to
he developed has asked at one time
for a loan exceeding two years
revenue ? Our present Loan Act
will never attract capitalists as an
investment pure and simple aside
from political or personal consi-
derations until a new schedule, OF
definite objects, all or most of which
will add Immediately and directly to
the government income, shall be
substituted for the present.

DEBAuCHERY.

Candor compels the admission
that the so-called free liquor law has
not improved the social, moral, or
religious condition of Honolulu.
The congregating together of crowds
of people, of all ages and both sexes,
in and around drinking saloons,
fostering habits of intemperance and
indulglng in foul and debasing Ian
guage, is merely one aspect of the
question, and that one perhaps not
the worst. The amount of private
drunkenness, with whole train of
attendant vices, practised in certain
localities, is said to be something
enormous. The neighborhood north
of the fish market, between King
Street and the sea beach, also the
neighborhood back of old Liberty
Hall, known as Kikihale, have,
among others, been indicated as
nests of wickedness, where drunken-
ness, debauchery, quarreling, fight
ing, and other immoralities are
almost nightly occurrences. These
localities being somewhat outside of
ordinary police surveillance, are the
scenes of practices and proceedings
not usually enacted in the more
public parts of the city, and, ac-
cordiDg to our informants, their
degradation becomes rapidly more
degraded. This is not very en-
couraging aspect of things to those
whose interest in the country and
love of the race are deeper and
stronger than selfish desire for
sordid gain. The only remedy we
can suggest, at present, is vigilant
watchtulness on the part of police
officers, and strict, prompt, uncom-
promising enforcement of existing
laws.

Irwin looking out for the comfort of
guests on board. The electric lights,
with which the vessel is supplied,
was in use all over the vessel, and
the control which each passenger
had over the light in the staterooms
was the subject of much favorable
comment. His Majesty, Queen
