St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1886-08-21

III the parish OF Acadia be created it
will be by the colored vote, because
their leaders want to get rid of that
part of the parish; but how many
niggers would vote for it if they knew
they had to go there and live?
The above paragraph was published
in this paper last week. In CONVEX
sation with some Rayne gentlemen
this week they characterized the con-
Guiding part of it as insulting. They
inferred that we meant their section
was not fit place for a niger to
live. We had no such thought; and
their criticism is very unjust. We
meant just what we said: that the
negroes who voted to get rid of a
place, would hardly go there to live !;
that if they voted to get rid Of a Demo-
cratic section in order to make their
own section /; Republican one, they
would not quit their Republican sec
ton to go to the Democratic parish their
votes had created. 1t is very plain that
the negroes who vote to get rid of a
Democratic section of the parish in or
der to make their own section Republi-
CAL, would not quit their Republican
stronghold to go to the Democratic
one their votes had created. We hope
we have elaborated sufficiently to make
this point plain. However, we have
offended in being opposed to the crea-
ton Of the parish of Acadia, at
the present time; and it
is easy to find cause for complaint in
any opposition. We do not seek to
deprive that part of the parish of any
right they now have; and it has the
same rights that the other parts of the
parish have; we do rot seek to dis
turb the parish as it new is; we simp-
ly oppose division. We certainly have
the same right to oppose division, as
anyone has to advocate division. All
we ask in the matter, is free speech,
free action, and for everyone to vote
according to his natural sentiments.
When the Rayne Signal published ar
ticles against Opeleusas, and against
certain of her citizens, there was no
hasty temper exhibited here about the
matter; this is good example to fol-
low. Vinegar catches no flies" III
would be strange thing for parish
like st. Landry to be divided, and
divided ON the line proposed. nithOnl
opposition Those who seek /" divide
it, and who expect no oppositiuu, and
become irritated at opposition, did
not start out with the right kind OF
philosophy. We are opposed to the
division, without being opposed to
anyone who favors it.; they have the
same right TO favor that we have to
oppose it, and rice uersa. Among
right thinking people, in regard to the
matter, there should be no illfeeling

hold this beautiful world of ours, and
are not able to find two stones, or
even two grains of sand, exactly
alike, it seems, at first sight, that
there is no uniformity in Nature,
but that all is diversity. But when
we examine Natures laws, and study
the changes that are produced in ac-
cordance with these unvarying laws,
we are astonished to find unity in
the midst of so much variety. This
also is the only kind of unity that
can ever exist in the human race.
The closing decades of the 10Th
century have witnessed swift and
sure progress towards the realization
of this unity of mankind. Let us
notice two Of the methods by which
this marked advance towards unfit
cation has been brought about.
The Industrial Exhibitions, which
have become so numerous during the
latter part of this century, are WELD
ing a powerful influence in unifying
the various nations of the earth. In
these exhibitions, which have been
held in London, Paris, Constantine
pie, Vienna, Philadelphia, New
York, New Orleans, and various
other quarters of the globe, the in
dustriaI products of the far East are
placed side by side with the Euro
pean and American products, and
visitors are drawn from almost every
land and nation. Thus men from
the North, South, East and West
are brought into intimate relations
with each other, and a long stride
towards unity is the natural and
inevitable consequence.
Another means by which this
unifaction is produced in Christian
Missions The wonderful outburst
of missionary activity has occurred
chiefly in this, the last half of the
10Th century. And the work is con-
tinually advancing, and unifying
the human race. Not only is the
island world of the Pacific now open
to the Gospel; but also in the
mighty empires of Asia and Africa,
the sun of the Gospel has burst
forth with such brightness that il
can never again disappear. So that
it can be fairly said that /" the globe
is covered with network Of Chris
| tan OutpOsts.

The Nations of The World Being Drawn
Close to Each Other.
Human progress has ever tended
towards the unity of the human race.
III what will this unity consist, if it
is ever reached? is it necessary
that the peculiar characteristics Of
each nation be leveiled and degraded
to some common types, in order that
this unity may be attained? No, it
can only be brought about as a pro-
duct Of the full Development of
these various characteristics. When
this end shall be reached-when the
peculiar features OF every nation of
the globe shall be unfolded and de-
veloped IN all their diversity, then
viii unity and harmony be establish
ed in the human race But it will
be unity IN ca,iety. When we be-

western railways have had benumbing effect
on the demand for locomotives. At the Bald

TO over $500 men and are the largest of the kind
in the country, the result has been felt in a
marked degree. Orders for new locomotives,

The Perverted Sense of an Advocate.

DOStou Aufsrt1ser.
No doubt it was the business OF Mr.. George
Iicknor Curtis, as counsel for Mormon elder
now serving out term under the Edmunds law,
to attack that law as unconstitutional; but we
can hardly conceive that professional necessity
alone could have led him to make such an extra
ordinary statement as that the vice of poiygany
IS mot injurious to the public welfare His
eloquent praise of the Mormon women for pre-
ferring to live in state Of polyeamy may be in
a sense polite. but it is little less extraordinary
than his argument on the main question. We
fear that, In this case Mr.. Curtis must be con-
sidered an example Of the perverted views of
men and things which an advocates profession
sometimes leads him to take. 1t is to be sim
cereiy hoped that although Mr.: Curtis is a good
Democrat his party does not take quite so favor
able view of Mormon character as he does

Not In a Hurry to Confirm the Sale.

Judge Treat is disposed to have something to
say in the settling of the affairs of the Wabash.
The other day, when asked to confirm the sale,
he put some very pertinent questions to H. K.
Kent, solicitor of the Wabash company. The
Judge thought that the confirmation should be
asked for by all the parties in interest, and not
made merely formal affair." Besides, he
wanted the purchasers to pay into court the
1925, 900 they had bid. to pay all the receivers
certificates and the current debts of the receiv-
ership, about 100000 in all, and to give the
court some assurance of what was to be the
status of the leased lines that had not been sold,
before any confirmation would be made
