following THE reason why the demo-
cratic party has preserved its organization
through some of the most severe trials a
political party has ever been called upon to
pass, lies in the fact that it Is the party of
the common people. Its principles are as
eternal as the stars of heaven. They were
imbedded in the coruer-stones of the con-
stituton and although the waters Of fsnata-
csm aud sectionalism may dash against
them, yet they will stand as the bea-
con light and hope OF thousands yet un-
born, as they have for thousands gone be-

THE REAL 1ssuE.

The pretense of Independent Republicans
like Geo. W. Curtis, Carl Schurz, Geo. Jones
of the New York Times and their associates
that their opposition to Blaine is based on
the ground Of his public record and per-
sonal character seems q hollow fraud when
we recall the warm support most of these
soreheads gave to Mr.. Blaine's candidacy
for the Republican nomination as against
that of Gen. Grant. The record of the
Republican nominee was as well known
then as it is now, and he is as good q man
to-day as when he was the honored premier
of President Garfeld's Cabinet, and the
leading spirit OF an administration that
promised to be one of the most benefcent
and popular in the country's history.
The fact of the matter is that Messrs.
Curtis, Schurz, Jones ct als are Free Traders,
like Gov. Cleveland, sailing under a thin
guise of tariff reform, while the Repub-
lican nominees are avowed Protectionists
standing upon Protection platform. This
is the real issue of the campaign, becloud
it as we may, and upon this issue the battle
is to be fought and won. If a majority of
the people of the United States favor the
protection of domestic industries, as we
believe they do, Blaine and Logan will be
elected. It was the "tariff for revenue
only" plank of the Democratic platform
more than any other one cause that de-
feated Hancock four years ago, and the
tariff for revenue exclusively" declaration
of the Democracy this year will doubtless
prove the leading factor in the defeat of
Cleveland.
The effort to tattoo Mr.. Blaine with re-
vamped charges of crooked transactions
will be no more successful than the attempt
to blacken Gen. Garfeld's character with
DeGolyer contract and Credit Mobilier
ISLANDERS. The people know Blaine as they
knew Garfield, and they will rebuke in 1854
as they did in 1880 the Vaccinations of tie
disgr1ntlea schemers Yho seek TO conceal
the true significance of the impending cleo
ton with the cloak of vicious assault
upon the personal character of the Repub-
lican candidate.

SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT Tn THE
SIXTH DISTRICT,

The Baton Rouge apito1ia,,-4dvocate
| has received information to the effect that
| the Soaptails of East Baton Rouge-who
| formed an alliance with Republicans and
elected their local tickets last April-in-
| tend to send full delegation to the Con-
gressional nominating convention called to
meet at Baton Rouge on the 10th of Sep
!e1nber, and in the event Of their failure to
f, obtain recognition over the delegation rep
resenting the Bobtails or recognized -
| faction of the party, they propose to unite
| with expected contestants from Pointe Cou-
pee, Avoyeles, St. Landry and other par
ishes of the district and nominate can
didate for Congress in opposition. to the
nominee of the regular convention.
Should this movement be carried out to
its anticipated conclusion, it is more than
probable that the bulk of the Republican
vote will be cast for the Soaptail candidate,
and it will require some very tall counting
to save the Sixth District to the ring De-
mocracy.

We were in error last week in stating that
there would be but one passenger train
each way On the Mississippi Valley railway
under the new schedule that went into
effect last Sunday. There will be two trains
each way, as heretofore, and their time of
passing Burnside station will be as follows:
Going North 1928 A. M. 1855 F. NJ: going
South, 7:29 A. NJ, 4:4 2. M. The Clipper
will therefore make four daily trips between
DcnaldsonVille and Burnside station to
connect with all these trains, leaving her
wharf at the head of Lessard street ct $50
and 9:45 A. NJ, and $50 and 7:1O p. L. The
Valley trains leave New Orleans at 7:4O A. M.
and sos P. NJ, and arrive there at 10:15 A. NJ,
and 7:15 P. II. The train leaving early in
the morning goes only as far as Baton
Rouge; the other runs through to Vicksburr,

other column, the mail steamer Morning

We have it from the best authority that
Mrs. NJ. Israel d Co., custodians of the
funds in the parochial treasury, rendered
to the President of the Police Jury certi-

Keeping, requesting that the fund should
De invested or deposited elsewhere, and that
the tender was declined. Israel & Co., are
paying promptly all drafts of the proper
officers on both the general and school

prefer not to handle the parish money
rather than be subjected to the suspicion of
desiring it for use in their business.

Peaceful Capture of the Courthouse

Col. Fairies, Acting Adjutant General of

other day to assist Judge Gates and the
claimants to the parochial offices in that
parish in obtaining possession of the court
house, which has been held by the adhe-
rents of Judge Fontelieu and Sheriff Viator
since the election. The Supreme Court
having sustained the authority of Judge
Gates, the claimant of the Sheriff's Office
made demand for possession of the court
house, but WAS refused. Col. Fairies there
upon repeated the demand, but he also
met with refusal. He telegraphed to New
Orleans for troops and seventy-f1 five men of
the Louisiana Field Artillery left for New
Iberia on Thursday. The subjoined tele-
phonic message to the CHIEF announces

it rained on Sunday until after 9 O'Clock n
large crowd assembled to see the Berthe

considerably augmented by the new fence
that has been built around the upper end
of the grounds. 1t is proposed to continue
the fence entirely around the field at an
