Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor:
For twenty four years prior to the
fourth day of last March the govern
ment had been under the control Of a
Sectional party. The oppression, out
RACES, plundering and all manner of
speculation and fraud that had been
perpetrated upon the people by that
party, it was supposed, by good men,
would cease whenever truly national
man was placed by the people in the
Executive chair of the nation at Wash
ington. It was five months the 4th inst.
since Grover Cleveland commenced bis
career as our President since which
time his course has been most emphatl-
cally national. Of the foreign execu-
tive appointments Louisiana has more
than three times as many as Illinois,
and the whole South, in the language
Of st. Paul, have cause to thank God
and take courage" because of the cleo
ton Of Grover Cleveland and the as
tendency of national democratic prin-
ciples. GA government of, the people,
by the people and for the people" is
recognised by democrats as the kind
wanted. The recognizance of such a
government by President Cleveland
does not seem over palatable to the
State ring clique and the howl of anger
dissatisfaction and disappointment is
not surprising from that quarter.
Louisiana's disgruned Senator, finding
he could not have his own way, by
sycophantic fawning, relative to the
government appointments in this State,
denounced the President bitterly and
so to speak, walked off on his ear"
and as he cannot rule seems bound to
ruin. The Senator's course is sugges-
tive of the experience of Mr.. A. Ward
with his show of wax works among the
free lovers at Berlin Heights Ohio.
The Senators seems to have thought he
had as dead a sucker" in President
Cleveland as the festive maiden sup
posed she had found in the platonic
and virtuous Artimus, and was as badly
disappointed. When the late Mr.. A.
Ward was exhibiting his show at Ber-
lin Heights, blooming buxom female
specimen of the free love persuation, of
about 200 pounds ayerdupois became
very demonstrative towards Artimus
in her expressions of more than friend
ship, declaring she had found her atfiDi-
ty, he whom she had long sought and
earnestly prayed for lexclaiming 1--WE
found him, I've found him, Glory, Glory
at last, I've found him." Mr.. Ward was
almost overwhelmed by the impetuous
onslaught, but gaining his self possess
sion, he expostulated with his ardent
admirer informing the stricken damsel
that he had a good wife and lovely chill
dren at home to whom he could not
think of doing injustice, whereupon
she made last desperate appeal, with
palpitating heart, throbbing bosom, and
fearful eyes. She embraced the object of
her souls affection exclaiming shave
You no bowels of compassion % The
philosophical Ar5imus was in tight
place." he realized his position, his in
ner manhood nerved him for the Occa-
sion and with virtuOus indignation he
Tepelled the festive maiden's advances
remarking nary bowel"

1t has been announced that some Of
our merchants will hold a meeting to
consider the excessive railroad charges
ON freight. We.do not know what they
can do, except to buy or charter boat
to carry their freight. The merchants
themselves are to blame for the present
state Of affairs. When steamboat was
running, independent of the railroad,
and carrying freight at reasonable
rates, they failed to sustain the boat j;
and the railroad, by reduction of
charges, brought the boat to its own
terms, and since, then the charges have
been nearly doubled. 1t required very
little foresight to. see this. 1t was evil
dent, and in fact publicly known, that
the railroad reduced the charges pur-
aposely to drive out the boat that had
declined to increase its charges at the
request of the railroad. If the rner-
chants would not maintain the boat
then against the railroad, will they do
so now We see no other remedy for
them. The merchants OF Vile Plate,
Washington, Grand Coteau, and the
surrounding country, by their patron
age and influence can maintain a boat j;
but they should not desert it the mo-
ment the railroad reduces charges, and
to avoid this they should form a joint
stock company and own the boat therl-
selves. We see no other relief from
tile imposition Of the railroad. It is
idle to expect relief from the legisla-
tnre, in the present condition of Loui-
siana politics. So long as the State
political ring, the penitentiary infiu-
snee, the railroads. and the lottery con-
Erol the manufacture of the laws, there
will be no regulation by law Of rail
road charges.

Elderen at Frank the Bakers IN this

reasonable in his prices OF all the travel

is denying the reports of the most res
pectable citizens of this town for whom

statement, and a number of others can

As will be seen in our advertising
columns, the Opelousas Female fnsti-
tute under the control and management
of Mrs. NJ. M. Hayes, has been incorpo,
rated with many of our best citizens as
trustees. Mrs Hayes has made large
additions to her school building and at
the opening of the fall session will be
able to accommodate a much larger
number of boarding pupils than hereto
fore. Hereafter the Board of Trustees
will confer graduating diplomas and
degrees upon the young ladies who are
competent to receive them. MIS-. Hayes
is one of the best citizens our town pos
sesses energetic, experienced as a
teacher, and thoroughly conscientious
in the discharge af the responsible du-
ties of an educator she is worthy of the
success her Institute has always en-
ioyed. 1t now starts out upon new
basis, and ought, and we doubt not will
receive extensive patronage from adj
joining parishes.

We have received a set, eight in
number, of Hansell's practical series of
penmanship. The State Board of Educa-
cation has adopted the same for the
public schools. This system is an ex-
cellent one, to train persons to write
well. For sale by the principal mer-
chants of Opeleusas.
DR.. J. Van Elderen, now on a profess
sional visit here, is, an artist in pulling
teeth. He can do it better and with
less pain than any dentist we ever saw,
and his price is about half the usual
charge. No one with bad teeth should
miss having them extracted by him. He
does not break teeth; but they come
entire the moment he applies his instru-
ment, with little or no pain. The facil-
ity with which he extracts the roots of
broken teetis is wonderful. Donot fail
to see him. as you may never have an
other such opportunity.
