Resolutions Against the Crea.
tiOn of the Parish of Acadia.

Whereas by virtue of an act of the
LEGISLATURE, the creation of a new
parish out of the South Western por
ton of St. Landry, to be called the
parish of Acadia, is to be submitted to
the voters of ST. Landry parish on the
9Th day Of October next; and
Whereas, the people of the parish OF
st. Landry have been told and many
of them made to believe that the in
habitants of the territory OF the pro-
posed new parish are united IN favor
Of the proposed division; and
Whereas, such is not the fact, but
the said inhabitants are seriously dlvld-
ed upon the question and the voters
of the parish OF St. Landry should be
correctly informed as to the true state
of opinion among the people to be
Immediately affected; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we residents, citizens,
and tax payers of the territory OF the
proposed parish of Acadia do solemnly
protest against the proposed division
and earnestly appeal to the voters OF
the Parish of St. Landry to cast their
ballots against the same; and While we
might assign many valid objections to
the proposed division, we deem 1t ne
cessary only to say that the taxable
nroperty within the limits of the pro-
nosed new parish is totally insufficient
in value at the present time to furnish
bv taxation the necessary revenue to
support an independent parish govern
ment: that in order to procure the
needed revenue, the authorities OF the
new parish, in case of division being
adopted, will be compelled to greatly
increase the rate OF assessment OF our
property that the chief burden OF
taxation within the proposed new. par
ish would fall upon the undersigned
and their neighbors who reside III the
portion of the territory OF the proposed
new parish where the lands are most
valuable and most thickly settled; and
that the present rate OF assessment IS
fullv as much us we are willing and
able to stand, and we further declare it
to be our opinion, that any division now
effected of the parish of st. Landry
will be annulled and set aside by the
Supreme Court as being contrary to the
Constitution, that being the opinion OF
the best legal talent OF the State. For
these reasons and Others equally as
good, we address this earnest and res
pectful protest and appeal to our fel-
low citizens of the parish of st. Landry.
Signed by 40 names which are on
the list at this office.
The following committees have not
yet returned their lists of 81 gnatures,
viz: Point-aux-Loups, Prairie Nam,
mouth, and Faquetaique. These Will
furnish at least 200 names, making a
total of over 600 voters living within
the lines, opposed to division, nearly
one-half the total vote. There are
persons at many other points within
the territory of :" Acadia" opposed to
division; enough doubtless to swell
the number to a majority of the total
vote.

The Baton Rouge Resolutions

The following are the resolutions
adopted by the late congressional con-
yention at Baton Rouge. Among other
things, they mean that this district was
not properly represented by Judge Irion
when he voted with Mr.. Randall's bolt
ers against Mr.. Morrison's tariff reform
bill. A tariff for revenue only, and not
protective tariff for the benefit of mo-
nopolists and at the expense of the peo-
pie, is true Democracy:
Resolved, That the Democracy of the
Sixth Congressional District of Louisi-
ana, in convention assem- bled, congrat-
nlate the country upon the restoration
of the Federal Government to the care
of the Democratic party. That in the
administration of President Cleveland,
we recognize the evidences Of an able,
honest and practical leader, whose aim
is, not only to advance our country in all
that makes a nation great, but also to
protect the rights OF the individual citi-
zen against the usurpations of monopo-
lies and to secure reform in every
branch of the public service. We favor
the extinguishment of the public debt
as rapidly as the surplus revenues of the
government will admit, and we believe
in liberal appropriations for the i'm
provement of our rivers and harbors.
We favor the construction of navy,
and such harbor Notifications as will
enable us to cope with any foreign pow
er, and for this purpose we recommend
the establishment of such plans in our
country as may be requisite for the con-
struction of the heaviest iTon-clads and
ornaments without aid from abroad.
That we approve and endorse the prin-
ciples enunciated in the Chicago plat
form regarding the tariff, believing such
tariff should be levied upon imports for
purposes of revenue to defray the ex-
penses Of government and pay the in
ferest on the public debt.

Our Next Governor.

The Lafayette Advertiser, published
in our sister parish of Lafayette, has
taken the initiative in championing the
claims of southwestern Louisiana to a
nrominent place on the next State tick
eft. and has in very warm and compli-
mentary terms proposed the name OF
our distinguished parishoner, Hon. Hen
nv T., Garland, as man whose high
character, fine abilities and public ser0-
ices eminent]y qualify and entitle him
to aspire to the high honor OF serving
his native State as its next Governor.
1t is hardly necessary to say that not
onlv the press of St. Landry, but its
entire people heartily join in seconding
the hearty commentator and PROPOSE
thin of our sister parish in behalf OF its
favorite son.
Henry L. Garland, by common ac-
cord, is eminently qualified to fill any
Office within the gift Of the people. A
learned and thorough lawyer, man Of
liberal ideas and Of large and practical
administrative abilities, joined to the
most undoubted integrity-it would
be hard to find, in the whole range OF
the State of Louisiana, man more
thoroughly qualified and fitted to occu-
DIV the chief executive Office of this
State. AS Democrat he stands the
peer of any in the State, and his name
would command the respect Of his
enemies, as we'll as OF his friends.
Nothing but regard to the we'll
known modesty of our distinguished
friend has heretofore prevented his
own local press from hosting his
name at the head of their columns as
their choice for Governor. But since
the press of our sister parish have
taken the lead in bis favor, it is full
time for his home friends to speak
ont. AS one of the representatives OF
st. Landry Democracy, we hereby an
nounce the Hon. Henry L. Garland as
our candidate for the Governor of
this State.

Our Next Governor.
Lafayette Advertiser.


It's perhaps little early to talk
about our next Governor, but specula-
ton on this subject is "on" all the same,
and favorites are being brought to the
front. In the Northern part Of the State
several gentlemen-true and tried Dem
ocrats-have been mentioned for this
exalted position, prominent among
them being the Hon. j. G. Moncu1e, one
Of the Judges of the Circuit Court in
that section. This gentleman would
need no introduction to the people OF
Louisiana; be is we'll known as man
of splendid attachments, sound judg-
ment and supporting a reputation of
unblemished integrity. But while ia
king this view of the situation we be-
lieve that Southwestern Louisiana is
entitled to some consideration in the
selection Of State officers. The record
will show it has been years since this
section was represented in this respect,
and the time is ripe to bring this fact
to notice.
There is within the limits of a sister
parish man and Democrat who has
done some service to the State, who
possesses fine ability, and unsullied
character and worthy in every way of
the chief executive office of the State
We refer to the Hon. Henry l.. Garland
of st. Landry parish.
He is favorably known throughout
the State and would, therefore, draw
good support from other sections. We
nominate him believing there is no bet.
ter material in the State for good and
worthy Governor.

etc. However, none Of these persons
felt hydrophobia, nor have any of them,
to this date, succumbed. The duration
of this preventive treatment was, on an
average, twelve days. The total dose
of the powder of hoang-nan ingested
during this time varied in adults from
six to eight grammes. 1t was scarcely
necessary to go beyond one gramme per
day to obtain the physiological effects

The Treatment of Rabies with
HOang-Ran.
Scientific American.

According to the Gazette Medicale de
Nautes, twenty four cases of rabies have
been treated with hoang-nan by DIR.
Barthelemy and several other medical
men Of that city or of the department.
The first case SO treated was in the
month Of March, 1889, the last in April,
1885. Ten times, at least, the bites,
which were most frequently multiple,
were situated on the hands, once on the
hand and on the face. In the majority
of cases cauterization was completely
omitted, or practiced several hours or
even several days after, with agents
little active, such as liquid ammonia or a
solution of carbolic acid. Two of the
patients, who were closely observed by
DR.. Barthelemy-viz., man of thirty
and lad of sixteen-presented symp-
toms Of rabic mania persistent insom-
MA, anxiety, nocturnal agitation. the
desire to run, hallucinations, barking,

A government clerk up in Canada,
named Virgins, has prophesied an
earthquake in this section on the Goth
inst, which causes much uneasiness on
the part of many so-called intelligent
people. If their education does not
guard them against weather prophets
they have been educated to very little
purpose. He did not foretell the
Charleston earthquake and he knows
as much about the causes of earthquakes
and the time of their coming as we do,
