Several names are mentioned in connec-
ton with the Mayoralty for the ensuing
term, but we DO not care to anticipate the
announcements Of candidacy which will no
doubt be made through the local press dur
ing the next three weeks. We can say, how
ever, that Mayor Maurin will not be can
didate for reelection. He authorizes us to
make this statement and to return his sin
cere thanks to the many friends who have
urged him to stand for the position again
and rendered their unsolicited support; He
appreciates. their action in the highest de-
gree, but positively declines to contest for
another term as Mayor.

DeVere's Carnival of Novelties company
gave an afternoon and q night performance
here last Saturday according to previous
announcement. The daylight entertain
ment was very SHINY attended and the
CROWD at night was much smaller than
that Of the previous evening. This was due
N some measure to the threatening state of
the weather, and also to the fact that the
character OF the performances fell consid-
erably short of popular expectation. The
company left on their little boat early
Sunday morning, for Plaquemine, but how
they Jared there or at Baton Rouge we have
not learned.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

Prime Minister Gladstone submitted to
the House of Commons on Thursday his
bill providing for new system of govern
ment for Ireland, and advocated the meas
ure in three hours speech of great power
that evoked frequent outbursts of enthu-
siastic applause. The main feature of the
scheme is a native elective Parliament to
holds its sessions in Dublin, concession
that ELECTS the hearty approval of Mr.. Par
nell and his followers. 1t is considered al
most certain that the bill, with modifica-
tions, will pass the House OF Commons.

At recent term of the District Court for
Assumption Mr.. Napoleon Martinez, Jr., a
young white citizen of that: parish, was
tried on charge of murder for having shot
and killed Allen Mmball, colored man, on
the 18th Of February. The difficulty took
place on the plantation formerly owned by
the father of Mr.. Martinez, and originated
in dispute about some field work in which
both parties were engaged. Kimball ad-
vanced upon his antagonist with raised
canepick, and failing to halt when warned
to do SO, was shot in the breast, the ball
passing near his heart. Before death en-
sued the victim declared that he was alone to
blame fer the ARRAY and that Mr.. Martinez
was justified in using:his revolver for self
protection. The jury impanneled to try the
case took similar view. and returned a
verdict Of not guilty.

No good reason can be given why
any citizen of Christian county should
fail to support our home man for
Congress. He is recognized else
where as the ablest man on the track

him to a man. We like to see home

of clothes, buy it at home !;
if you want groceries, machi-
merry or farming implements buy
them from home people and if one of
our citizens runs for Office and he is
fitted for the place let's us stand by
him and show to outsiders that we
are for our end of the State, our

We want is class of citizens who

liover's pathetic appeal in your
last issue for rain was answered this
morning by good refreshing show
or, with a promise for another to-day.
About thirty mon were engaged in
a row at Cooks Spring picnic Satur-
day many of them had imbibed too
freely of hard cider. Knives, pistols,
and clubs were the chief weapons on
the ground, but every man seemed
10 be supplied with one and all OF
them. Women who had husbands
in it rushed in and gathered them
by some part Of their anatomy and
removed them.
Quite a crowd attend the Sunday
School and temperance picnic Sum-
day, but owing to shower of rain
and the absence of several speakers
who had promised to be on hand
that day the crowd broke up at J
p. NJ. The dinner was as fine as the
finest and we believe all who attend
ed will never regret the few hours
spent there. The little folks were
perfectly delighted.

Why should not the Second Dis
trict of Kentucky send a statesman
TO Congress, who would rank with
the ablest men in that body. The
Ashland District in the Bluegrass
region boasts that it never sends any
but great men TO Congress. Short
horses are ruled off the track before
the start is made. Her Congressman
become Senators and Clay, Beck,
Blackburn and Breckenridge are
names that all Kentucky is proud TO
honor. Why should not we send our
best men to Congress and raise the
standard of greatness in the Second
District. We have the opportunity
now to send our ablest and most
prominent man back to Congress,
where he once won honor and fame
as our Representative No man in
Kentucky outranks him as an orator
and few can boast of being his peers.
1t will be an everlasting shame and
disgrace to Christian county if Nc
Kenzie is not given practically unan-
imous endorsement. The 2,700 Dem.
ocrats in the county who admire great
ness and feel pride in advancing oul
own people to places of honor, should
see that majority of 1000 is rolled
up for our county man in the coming
contest.

Mckenzie, Ellis, Lafloon and Adair
met for the first time in joint debate
at Henderson last Monday. About
1000 people assembled to hear them
and the eloquence of Mckenzie cap
tivated the crowd from the start. lie
exhibited his extensive knowledge
upon the public questions of the day
and made one of his best speeches.
He took occasion to refer to the cam
paign lie that he was not the author
of the Mckenzie Quininc Bill, which
had been circulated by his enemies
in the district, and thoroughly con-
WINGED the crowd that it was a
trumped up story.
Ellis and Adair followed and Laf-
foon closed the speaking in a speech
that failed TO arouse any enthusiasm
for his cause. The general impress
sion in Henderson is that the race in
that county will be between McKcn-
zie and Ellis.

A good general rain would be of
great material benefit to the people,
so far as regards the health of the

The excitement over the election
has passed away and the rustic farm

to matters and things Of more lasting
benefit to himself.
Mr.. Isham Petty met with very
painful and almost fatal accident last

ar iEh ADAM . oNALI'
We can't understand why certain
parties persist in saying that Crom-
we'll Adair will receive the vote of
this county for Congress. He will
neither carry the city nor county,
Outside of a few disgruntled poliii-
clans, Mr.. Adair will receive no vote
at all. This thing of standing by
our neighboring county," is right
enough in its place, but Mr.. Adair
should have thought of this when he
opposed, with all Ills power, Mrs.
Annie Oldham Cook, who was cam
didate for State Librarian, and a
Henderson lady at that. The poor
lady died soon after her defeat, and
if Mr.. Adair ever shed tear for her,
we have the first time TO hear of it.
The working people of the district
will also oppose this gentleman, as
he opposed building the branch peni-
Tertiary at Eddyyille, necessarily
throwing the States convicts in COM
petition with honest labor. No, Mr..
Adair is not the man to represent the

LAFFooN ORGANS OPINION.
Some of our district papers are ex-
pressing doubt as to the proper
need of credit to be allotted TO Hon.
James A. Mckenzie, in relation to
the celebrated quimne bill, and seem
to insist that Hon. j. w. Covert, of
New York, is the member who
should be credited with the passage
of the bill in question. Whether the
official record shows this or not, it is
said that Mex. made an eloquent ap-
peal for the passage of this important
measure, which afforded relief to
thousands of sufferers, and the News
deems this gentleman fairly entitled
TO all the credit he has been accorded
in the premises.
COL. DoDD ON TIE wARPATH.
This is the first time we have ever
taken position in favor of any one
particular candidate, where there
were a number of Democrats con-
tending for the same nomination, and
regret the necessity which drives lis
TO that alternative now. We never
beat about the bush however. We
have nothing to conceal. We wan
to defeat Mr.Latfoou's denomination
and the action of the District Com
mittee forces all who oppose his re-
nomination TO unite upon one man
in order to accomplish that end. i
being generally conceded fact tina
Mckenzie is the strongest candidate
for Congress before the democracy
of the district, we deem it best tt
unite upon him, and therefore cal
upon all good Democrats, opposed
to endorsing the Hopkins county
fraud of 1884, TO rally 10 the standard
of Hon. James A. Mckenzie, in thu
primary of Sept. 18th. Fellow Dem
ocrats, those of you who want to re
Duke corruption, rally on the day o
the primary, and as one man, anG
give Quinine jim such majority a
will drive the opponents of fair pla,
to their holes for all time.-Calhoul

The campaign lie 10 the effect that
Mckenzie was not the author of the
famous Quinine Bill passed in 1879,
which was started in the other end
of the district, was promptly nailed.
The official record contained evidence
that no fair man could doubt.
