Outsiders i'm Parish Politics.

1t would seem from the following,
from the Ouachita Telegraph OF Sept.
18th, that there is an outside influence
at work in that parish as we'll as in 9TH
er parishes:
To the surprise of the Democrats who
attended the Convention Monday and
who are not permitted behind the cur
tain to witness the manipulation of pol
tiles ia Ouachita, the affair was not so
harmonious as was expected. A Scion
in the councils of the party-the Moses
who has always heretofore been called
upon to lead the Democratic hosts out
OF the wilderness was literally and with
out cause sat upon. We have not been
able to get at the inside facts, bnt the
opinion is freely expressed that trio,
stationed, one at IA quarantine post on
the lower Mississippi, one at New Or
leans and the other at Baton Rouge
were the instigators of the move. At
any rate the powers that be have
stirred up "a hornets nest and we will
watch the moves of the factions with
interest. We take it as a good sign
that the politics of Onachita will no
longer be controlled and the offices par
celled out by close corporation.

Resolutions Against the Crea-
ton of the Parish Of Acadia.

Whereas by virtue OF an act of the
Legislature, the creation of 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 divid-
ed upon the question and the voters
of the parish of ST. Landry should be
correctly informed as to the true state
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
property within the limits of the pro-
posed new parish is totally Insufficient
in value at the present time to furnish
by 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 in the
portion of the territory of the proposed
new parish where the lands are most
valuable and most Tricky settled; and
that the present rate OF assessment is
fully as much as 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 annnled and set aside by the
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 fell
low citizens of the parish of St. Landry.
Signed by 4l9 names which are on
the list at this office.
The following committees have not
yet returned their lists of signatures,
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
1ne-half the total vote. There are
persons at many other points within
he territory of Acadia" opposed to
division; enough doubtless. to swell
he number to majority of the total
vote.

The promised explanation of Brig.
Gen. Will A. Strong, ex-Secl etary of
State, has tailed to materialize, and il
now devolves upon the Attorney Cen
eral OF the State to proceed gainst him.
The editor of the Picayune, gentle
man whose name and residence are
we'll known, has publicly charged that
Mr.. Strong is d defaulter to the State Of
Louisiana in the sum OF some $4,000.
This charge is either true or untrue a
Judicial investigation alone can deter
mine.
The Times has a very pronounced
opinion on this matter, but it does not
wish to prejudice the case against the
ex-Secretary, and asks only that stems
be now taken to bring the question to
an issue. Gen. Strong has been given
ample time to explain, and to this date
has done nothing. He is reported to
have been in Winfield last week attend
ing to legal business, and we submit
that the delay in making the public ac-
quainted with his defense of this CHARGE
affecting his honor and integrity is in
excusable. The Attorney General
should at once proceed to bring this
matter before the courts to the end that
justice may be done the State of Louisi-
ana ana the accused
Delay is no longer necessary. The
proof of the charge is either ready at
hand or it is not in existence. The
sooner the people become acquainted
with the facts, the better it will be for
the public good.

Therapeutical Society, a specimen of
pichu, or piche, was shown by M.

it was believed to disintegrate urinary

elements of calculi and dissolved it, and
lessened vesical catarrh, belief which,
in consequence OF the resin it contained,
was shared and confirmed by M. Du-

upon the Democracy of the parishes to

At the parish Democratic convention
held at Baton Rouge, last Saturday,
among the resolutions offered by the
committee on resolutions, was one
"heartily endorsing the National Ad-
ministration as represented in the per-
son of President Grover Cleveland =
Init not a word was said about the
the State administration, or Gov.
McEnery. Gen. Jastremski was OPP
posed to the passage Of the resolutions,
because the President was too fully en-
dorsed, and because the Governor was
not endorsed at all. But the resoln-
lions were adopted by "a to -. This
convention represented "tbe reunited
Democracy" of that parish. After
wards the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we view with pride
and satisfaction the high and substan-
tial progress made by our beloved
State under. Democratic administration,
and believed that with firm and I'M
broken front presented to the foe, we
will continue in the future to march on
to Democratic victories.
This is very dubious complimer to
the present administration, as it was
studiously ignored in the resolutions
reported by the committee.

In Louisiana we find in the sugar dis
trlct strong protection sentiment that
leans toward the national Republican
party. Many of the leading planters
voted for Blaine at the last election and
endeavored to carry with them the full
white vote. The effort failed, not be-
cause the protection sentiment was not
strong, but because the fear of Negro
rule was stronger.-Shreveport Times.
The Times is correct in its first state
ment but altogether wrong in it's con-
clusion.
A few not re'y many, of the planters
voted for Blaine and that few made a
complete failure in carrying the white
voters with them.
The effort failed not through fear of
the Negro cote, but because the Demo-
cratic voters knew that the Democratic
party afforded far more secure harbor
for the safety of the sugar interests than
the Republican party did. The Haw-
allan treaty by which sugar is admit
ted into the United States free of duty,
on the Pacific coast, the Mexican Reel
procity treaty sneaked through the
United States Senate, by which sugar
was to be admitted free from Mexico,
and the Spanish Reciprocity treaty at
tempted to be sneaked through the
United States Senate which would prac-
tically place sugar on the free list were
all unmistakable evidences OF the in
tention to take the tariff off of sugar, by
the Republican party. This was the
reason the white voters here was Dem
ocratic.-ThibOdaux Sentinel.
