Institutes are being held in various
parts of the State, and we woult
gladly welcome something Of thu
kind in our parish. We missed DR.
Mayo's lectures, but felt very much
in hopes an educational meeting
would be held in Calcasieu parish
Below we give special to the Times
Democrat
MoERoE, May 29.-The Monroe In.
stitute closed last night at 8 O'Clock
with an address by hon. Warren E4s.
ton, who arrived this morning. Super.
intendent Easton addressed the teach,
ers and large audience of Monroe's
most intelligent people this morning.
He talked to them for abont forty
minutes on the relation of State insti-
tutcs to the teacher and public. He
was greeted with hearty applauses,
The faculty leaves tomorrow for
Donaldsonville, to continue the good
work. Prof. Corlew, of Maine, found
the climate too enervating for his not
too hearty constitution, and takes
leave of the faculty here to resume
work in a more coHgenial climate. DR..
Shields closing remarks were kindly
received. Prof. Read calculated
grammar in a way the parish teachers
had never seen grammar explained be-
fore. Miss Rousseau treated of read
ing and numbers. These institutes
have done a world of good.

A bill for the suppression of gamb.
ling has been introduced into the Gen
eral Assembly Of the State, and We do
sincerely hope will become law,
Below we give what the committee of
one hundred from New Orleans say
on the subject:
"Pnblic gambling is leper spot in
our city.
Large numbers of these dens of
iniquity, handsomely fitted up, lit
with electric lights, where liquors and
cigars are given away to the players,
open their doors upon the most fre.
quented streets and attract large
crowds of those classes of people who
can least afford to indulge in such a
destructive vice.
!" Il would make any but hardened
villains heal sick TO walk through
these places on Saturday night, after
the wage workers have received their
pay for their weeks labor, on which
depends the support of their families,
and to see the hundreds upon hun
dreds of these men congregated there.
But for some allurlng hell like
this, stretching its snares across their
homeward path, they would be with
their wives and children!
"No man with soul in him can
look upon this scene before whose
eyes there does not rise mist which
shuts ont the view of these misguided
wretches, and out of which there
comes vision of crime, intemperence
and brutality, of squalid homes, of
wretched wives and mothers, of fnaked
and starving children"

THE railroad committee of the SEN
ate and House met in joint session on
Monday last, to hear suggestions from
railroad representatives. Col. Whee-
lock stated in substance, on behalf of
the representatives Of the trunk lines
in this State: al thank the commit.
tee for granting us the right to state
the objections to some Of the pro-
posed legislation. In the past year
the State encouraged the building of
railways within the State by granting
chartered rights. Large amounts of
capital have been invested by nom
residents upon the facts Of vested
rights and sacred contracts. The pur-
pose of these charters was plainly to
attract capital to Louisiana" He
next gave the mileage Of railroads in
Louisiana, which is 1890. Even this
small mileage is paralleled by water
crafts. 1t is not necessary to estab-
lish a commission with this opposition,
and which will discourage the further
building Of railways. Long and short
hauls and rebates are legitimate. In
this connection he quoted at length
the remarks on this point by Judge
Stahlman in speaking on the Reagan
bill. Pools are the only things to
prevent the large shippers from get
ting the advantage of small ones.
They prevent secret rates, and it GER
tainly can be shown that they are In
tended to prevent discrimination be-
tween shippers of different localities.
He submitted that il was not fair to
fix additional expense on the railways
at this time. and The publication Of
raleB ten days in advance will give
steamboats, the opportunity of fixing
lower rates and result in the roads rc-
ceiving no freights. Relative to stock
killing, he admitted that there is canso
for complaint. The roads are willing
to pay for all damage, but the act to
throw the burden Of proof on the rail-
ways Ia unfair.n

AT San Antonio, Texas, decoration
day was observed by the closing Of
all public Offices. The citizens joined
ID parade to the National Cemetery,
where flowers were atrewn upon the
graves Of the soldiers buried there.
Mr. Z. .B. johnson, local attorney,
delivered the address, in which his
criticisms Of the South were Of such
a partisan nature that Gen. ID, s.
Stanley, commander Of The department
Of Texas, who occupied a seat on the
platform, interrupted the speaker by
telling him Ehe war was over, and re-
aasstsa him n ~ leas severe ID bis

President Cleveland and Miss Fol-
som were married at the White House
at 7ss0 ?. M, on the I'd inst. The
eeFemony was performed IN 4 quiet
way BY Dr Sunderland, and benedic-
tion prononneed by Rev. MIN. Cleve-
land, the Presidents brother. The
ceremony was witnessed by score Of
prominent people. The house was
beautifully decorated aud Illuminated.
The decorations in the private dining
room Is said to have surpassed any
thing ever before attempted. The
main table decoration was q full
rugged schooner three masted ship,
composed Of pinks, roses, pansies,
ETC., displaying the word "Hymen. =
1t rested on amirror representing a
lake the shores Of which were com
posed of different varieties of roses of
coral. The groom's gift to his bride
was a handsome diamond necklace,
composed Of single string of brill
lianta. There were many presents
from the Cabinet officers and their
wives, consisting mostly of jewelry,
and some beautiful present of silver
ware.
About the time the ceremony was
being performed a salute was fred by
a battery of artillery and all the
church bells in the city began to ring.
The ceremony was pronounced ortho-
dox in form; the bride confined her
kisses, however, to the ladies, the
gentlemen present we're not fortunate
enough to receive such salute.

living in various parts of the State,
the scenes Of the place where they re.

On behalf of the majority of th,

Commencing on the next line be
low the above named sentence, which
follows the above named signatures
G. A. Fournet, ESQ.,, wrote and signed
the following sentence, explanatory Of
his individual vote only:
/" disapprove Of the proposed meas
ure, if it be not adopted as a party
measure by the Democratic caucus Of
the Legislature in which case, how.
ever much it may be iuconvenient to
US in Calcasien, ] believe we should be
disposed to concede a great deal to
Democratic policy and interest.
(Signed) G. A. FoURNEr."
Instead of publishing the above
named two independent sentences
separately, and in separate paragraphs,
as should have been done, you err
roneously published both sentences as
one sentence, and as forming one par
sgraph, as follows:
son behalf of the majority of the
committee on resolutions, disap-
prove Of the proposed measure, if it
be not adopted as a party measure by
the Democratic cancus of the Legisla
trre, etc.
(Signed) G. A. FouRNET."
The above named error in the pub
location of said resolutions was also
committed by the Lake Charles Com
mereial, and as it enormously makes
us appear as having sanctioned and
authorized Judge Fournet's reasons for
his vote, and enormously makes him
appear ms speaking on behalf Of the
majority of the committee, when he
was speaking for himself only, we re-
spectfully request that you will do us
the justice to give this statement of
the facts in the case a prominent place
in your columns.
As both newspapers = the Echo
and the Commercial - made the same
mistake in the publication, and as one
of them had the original manuscript
of the resolutions, and the other
manuscript copy, it is scarcely neces-
sary for us to say we are satisfied both
newspapers made the mistake inno-
Gently, and that it was evidently caused
by a want of due care on the part of
the writers of the manuscript furnished
to you and to the Commercial.
