THE PRIZE DRILL.
Al tho conclusion Of tho parade the
various Divisions drew up on Che Square
for the prize drill, which took place on
that part OF tho Square lying between
Tuscaraw1s and Seventh streets. But
one Division participated, that being
the Red Cross Division Of Cleveland, and
the $500 prize was therefore awarded to
IL. Az no other Division entered the
second prize OF 800 was not awarded.
The Red Cross Division is n splendid

that was truly astonishing. considering
the short length Of time The Division
has been organized. which is only about
nine months. As each movement of tho

executed by tho men, u drew forth u
loud and prolonged burst OF applause
from the vast multitude that lined the
streets and sidewalks surrounding the
Square and covered the tops OF the

About the only reason we ever heard
given in defense of the passage OF the
law taking away from the people the
right to elect the members of the parO-
chial legislatures-the police jury-and
giving it to the governor, was that it
was necessary to protect the taxpayers
in the Republican parishes. In this
parish the same ones were appointed
that had been previously elected, and
there has been no hardship. We pub
lish an item wherein it is stated that
there has been such d reckless and ex-
travagant expenditure of par0chial
funds by the judicial authorities, as to
render it impossible to devote anything
to public improvements, in Iberia par
isli. Now the treasurer elected by the
police jury is the custodian of the paro-
chial funds, and the police jury makes
all the appropriations, and the police
jury is appointed by the Governor; the
judicial authorities therefore cannot
squander the public funds without the
consent of the police jury. The plea
therefore that an appointive police jury
was necessary to protect the taxpayers
is mere subterfuge, for here is case
in point where an elected police jury
could have done no worse than the APP
pointed one. We draw this conclusion
from the statements made by Demo
cratic and Republican committees, as
published in the New Iberia Sugar
Bowl. The police jury may have done
its whole duty in this case, but how
the judicial authorities could ssquander
the fluids without the police jury's con-
sent, is more than we can understand.
Appropriations made for internal i'm
proYements should not be diverted for
judicial expenses.

Political AHiliation i'm Iberia
Parish.

The Democratic Conservative Com
mittee Of Iberia parish and a committee
representing the Republicans have
agreed to support a common ticket at
the April election, the Democrats Sc
lecting candidate for the House OF
Representatives, for District Judge and
for Coroner, aud the Republicans Sc
lecting candidates for Clerk and Sheriff,
and the Senatorship and District Attor-
neyship to be left open for future con-
sideration. The reasons assigned for
this combination are "the deplorable
condition of affairs in the parish of lbe-
ria, resulting from a criminal neglect OF
the administration law, both civil and
criminal, amounting as it does to de-
NAL of justice. coupled with a reckless
and extravagant expenditure OF paro-
chial funds by the judicial authorities,
render it impossible to devote anything
to public improvement

SMALLPOX Cure.

The following is the mode of treat
ment adopted by the English army in
India, and it is considered perfect
cure
When the fever has reached the high
est point, and before the eruption APP
pears, rub the chest of the patient with
croton oil and tartic ointment, which
makes the eruption appear on that part
OF the body, and not on the rest OF it.
By means of this treatment they also
obtain the result of causing the eruption
to break out entirely, and of preventing
the disease from attacking the internal
organs.

The trouble about immigration in
Louisiana is that only the railroads and
land spectators take much interest in
it, and their terms are not sufficiently
inviting. The farmers of the State, and
they are the big majority, don't care if
they never see an immigrant. An i'm
migration movement can not be popu-
larized in this State; it will have to de-
pend entirely on rich landholders and
corporations.

The Terrebonne Times and the New
Iberia Sugar Bowl are after the Jud ges
of their respective districts with a
sharp stick. We we're always inn
pressed with the idea that Judge GoOde
of Terrebonne was all that could be
expected of an officer. The Times
complains that ''the negle ct to enforce
the law is the fruitful source of crime
and no where is this better exemplified
than in the parish of Terrebonne where
case after case can he cited in which
the jury have done their duty, brought
in verdicts of guilty, and the punish
ments inflicted have been SO manifestly
inadequate as to make it common
saying among jurors that ut makes no
difference what verdict we render a
few days in the parish Jail is all the
punishment that will be inflicted Any
thinking man can see that this, not
only has a tendency to destroy all res
pect and fear of law, but the integrity
of our iuries who see that they are only
used to carry out the forms of law and
that their verdict has very little infu-
ence upon whom rests the final judg-
ment in the matter.
There are only two ways of correct
ing this evil which is fast sapping the
life blood of society. The one proposed
by those who would take the law in
their hands and punish crime by crime,
and the other the placing of a man in
the position of Judge of this District
who agiU enforce the lac at all hazards
irrespective of politics, social position,
race, color or previous condition. If
the people refuse the last they will
surely see the first adopted by those
with whom the rights of citizenship
and the protection of their lives aud
property is paramount to all else.-Me-

A member Of the House committee on
public lands, in Congress, that had in
charge the bill to forfeit the New Or
leans Pacific (Baekbone) land grant,
voted in favor Of forfeiture last Satur-
day, and, according to a special dis
patch in the Times Democrat, was con,
verted two days afterwards, will vote
against it, thus defeating the attempt
to forfeit the grant. Now, what "con-

St. Landry democrat., 1884-03-01

The Times Democrat, in urging the
organization ofan immigration society,
says "for three or four decades New Or
leans ranked as the second immigration
port in the country and that "more
immigrants have arrived there during
the past twelve months than during the
same period for a score of years and
more )" but unfortunately few of these
newcomers have remained, the great
majority Of them going to Texas, Cali
fornia or the Territories" This being
the case, it is not so much society to
induce immigration that is needed, but
one to hold the immigrants after they
come.

THE BACKBONE LAND GRANT.
Special to the States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90, 1884.
Wheelock will argue before the
House public lands committee to-day
against the forfeiture OF the Louisian a
back bone land grant.
About four years ago Wheelock sub
mitted brief against the validity of
this grant. He then sought to break
o rival corporation. Since the Back
bone road and all its rights passed into
the possession of the New Orleans Pa
cific and Wheelock wants to establish
its validity, but the committee is in
possession of his old brief which is en-
barrassing to him.

A bill has reported favorahly in the
United States senate, to prohibit the
mailing of newspapers and other publi-
cations containing lottery advertise
ments. The report says sits purpose
is to protect the general welfare and
morality of the people against the per-
nicfous effects Of lotteries, and that it
is in perfect harmony with the action
of nearly every State in the Union.
Lotteries have been and are under the
most universal ban of the States. Of
the thirty weight States only three have
failed to denounce lotteries and en-
deavor to protect their citizens from
their baneful effects" OF these three
exceptional States, Louisiana is pre-
eminent. for her constitution provides
for lotteries.

Gamblers Paradise.


New Orleans must be in bad moral
condition. The City Item says it is re-
ported that the feud that resulted in the
killing of the Flynns by Doran's crowd
at Hot Springs, originated in New Or
leans, and that Doran organized his
force in New Orleans to do the killing
at Hot Springs. We make tile follow
ing extracts from the Item:
Whether this report is strictly true or
not we do not know, but it is certain
they went away with a Well-grOuuded
contempt for the law, especially the
code which prohibits gambling. They
have for many years seen the immunity
extended to those who are allowed by
our highest municipal authorities to
buy out the law with but small per-
centage of the wicked prize drawn from
their infatuated victims. Having Dur-
chased the right to trample upon one
law with impnnity, it was but an easy
step to contempt and disregard Of any
that stood in the way of their evil pas
siOns or professional interests.

Time and spread throughout the coun-
try? is New Orleans to be, up to and
including the time fixed for the holding
of our great Worlds Fair, the headquar-
tiers of these pests of society A place
where all the gamblers of the world are

and their knives and pistOls2 Does
anybody suppose that the knowledge
that our police authorities not only
wink at the law, but detail patrolmen
from the scant force to protect, for pay,
the proprietOrs of hunco dens from the
violent acts of their outraged victims,
will have a favorable influence in at
tracing capitalists, or men of intelli-
gence and moral character to visit us at

Iron and Steel Workers.

ST. LOUIS, July 5.-The Age Of Steel pub
fishes to-day over ninety letters from leading
manufacturers of engines, iron and wood
working machinery, steam pumps, hardware
specialties and iron roofing in the principal
cities east of St. Louis, setting forth the
present condition of these industries, and
giving reports as to the outlook of the trade
An these lines during the next six months.
1t appears from these letters that the condi-
ton of the business in these industries is
not as bad as has been represented, and that
the aggregated sales for the first six months
of this year is considerably greater than those
for the last half of 1888. Engine builders
are well engaged and in some instances be-
hind with their orders. Manufacturers of
wire are working to their fullest capacity.
There appears to be more business depres-
sion in the east than the west. The present
dullness of trade in some departments and
the low scale of prices prevailing, is attribu-
ted to the want of confidence induced by late
failures in New York, and uncertainty as to
the the tariff legislation and political strug
gle now fairly commenced. A majority Of
correspondents anticipate fair trade during
the remainder of the year.

THE DAKOTA APPOINTMENTS.
Arthur's Late Appointments Severely
Criticised in Washington.
Pierce for Governor and Perry for Judge
Of Dakota.
[special Telegram to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-There is a growing
disposition to criticise some of Mr.. Arthur's
recent appointments. His appointment of a
nonresident and stranger as governor of
Dakota is severely commented on. 1t wasin
glaring violation of one of the strongest
planks in the Republican platform, and that
makes it obnoxious to many Republicans,
who recognize the fact that their party is to
have hard time pulling through this year,
and do not think it can afford to take AM
risks of open shamming -proclaiming prin-
in practice. This feeling is intensified
by the fact that Col. Pierce,
the appointee has been known as the most
fulsome flatter of Arthur, personally, while
his paper, the Chicago Neaos, is the most con-
spicuous bolter Of Blaine's nomination, and
both before and since the nomination has
been filed with the bitterest attacks on the
tattooed man from Maine and his Black Jack
associate Arthur's appointment of Pierce
under these circumstances is regarded not
only in bad taste, but in defiance of party in
terest.
Dakota men here are severe in their criti-
cisms of Delegate Raymond's course in the
matter, as it not only put him in the position
of opposing the selection of citizen OF his
of his own territory, but, added to his open
lobbying for Arthur, places him in antago-
nism to the next administration, whether
Blaine or Democrat be elected.
But the worst nomination made for Dakota
is that of young Perry, for associate justice
of the territorial supreme court. 1t is uni
versally denounced as an outrageous act of
personal favoritism on the part of Arthur.
Whether it was done to pay debt to some
convention wotker, or to accommodate mem
ber of his cabinet, it was an inexcusable
thing for the president to do. Young Perry
is boy, hardly twenty-five years old, with
no knowledge of law or education of any
kind to fit him for so important post. He
has simply been personal clerk to Secretary
Folger, is insignificant in appearance, has
no professional or social standing, and is
destitute OF any qualification
whatever for the supreme judge
ship of great territory. There
is not an apologist in Washington for this
outrage on right and decency by ''Chet," the
fellow who, according to Bob Ingersoll, will
go down to fame as ''the only president of
the United States who ever went out of Office
with hundred an eighty pairs of breeches."
