MUSICAL Association Concert.

Last Friday evening Charles Washing
Ton Hall" was filled with very apprecis-
tive audience to witness the concert which
the Charlestown Musical Association had
advertised To come off that evening.
Promptly at eight o'clock the curtain rose
on the first performance. The program
was we'll selected and excellently perform
ed. Owing to the indispOsition Of several
of the participants, few of the pieces on
the program were omitted. Altogether it
was very creditable affair, and the ladies
and gentlemen OF which the Association
is composed have received many compli-
ments. The success of the entertainment
is principally due to the skill of Madame
Ruhl. who is Musical Director of the As
sociation. The costumes worn by the la
dies were principally white, while few
wore dressed in colors. The gentlemen
appeared in full evening dress suits.

DemOcFacy-LOcatins the
Blame.
Shreveport Times.


/ have read with pleasure your article
in answer to Orleans locating the blame
upon the country members of the Leg
islature for the wretched condition 10
which the Democratic party OF Louisi-
ana managed the affairs of the people
since the advent of the Witt McEnery
al administration. One word will locate
it-iottery.
When the constitutional convention
of 1879 succumbed to the lottery it gave
to Louisiana a lottery government, with
it's subordinate evils. | dare any pub
lie man in politics in this State to raise
his hand or voice against it. know
there are some who will accept the chal-
lenge, and want them to do it because
it will draw the line, and sooner or la
ter it must be DONE 1t would have de-
feated Blanchard in the late nOmina-
ton if it could, but he represents only
one district. Look over the State and
count the long list OF true men it has
relegated to the shades of private life.
Nichols approved the bill which Mon
cure, as the speaker of the House, had
to take by the throat before it could be
come law. Where is Nichols? Mon
cure is like Blanchard; he could not be
beaten, so they did not oppose him.
Where is Robertson of East Baton
Rouge9 Where is Lewis and Parlange
1t looks as if King will go next.
But take the parishes alphabetically,
and you will find that whenever it
could be done every man who openly
opposed the Louisiana lottery has been
forced to take back seat. OF course it
has not marched with flying banners
declaring it would take off the head of
every man opposed to it. That is not
its mode OF warfare. It's tactics is mon
ey. and money, as long as it can, "makes
the mare co.
The last State convention at Baton
Rouge forgot it! McEnery was nomi-
mated and elected and a Legislature
was nominated and elected to back
him and they all together let it alone
The Democratic Legislature resolved in
Republican members of the constitution
al convention of 1879 and all of the
Republican members of the preceding
Legislature to vote with it's Democratic
friends to resurrect it to life, after the
Nichols Legislature had killed it, and
keep it alive. But it was reserved for
the last caucus of the present Demo-
cratic Legislature to resolve to let it
alone. Great God! Is it to such De-
mocracy we he;sng2 dare Senators
Gibson and Enstis and ex-S nator Jo-
mas, who are supposed to be candidates
before the next Legislature, to come
out boldly and say one word against the
lottery, dare them to do it, because
want them to do it. For one will
never march in any procession with the
banner of the lottery leading it, as it did
in the late State convention at Baton
Rouge, pooling it's issues with the bond
holders amendment, and when the De-
mocracy of Louisiana will resolve like
wise there will be no need of locating
blame, because it will receive the plaud-
its of four-fifths of the party, and Lou
isiana will be redeemed and regen-
Grated. H. w.

According to the artist whose pen
pictures Mr.. Estillete quotes, both Mr..
Estilette and Mr.. jackson were Republic
cans in 1874. IT Mr.. Estilette has be-
come Democrat since that time, Mr.
jackson ought to be allowed the same
privilege. Mr.. Estilette seemed to
base his Democracy on Mr.. Garland's
Democracy, during the latter's ab
sence but as soon as he returned he
took stand in opposition to Mr.. Esti-
lette's movement; therefore his Demo-
cracy and Mr.. Estilette's Democracy are
not the same. This question of person
al politics was started by Mr.. Estilette;
but that is not the issue before the peo-
ple, and Mr.. Estilette seems to have
lost sight of that issue. Mr.. Estilette
recognized DR.. r. III. Littell as Presi-
dent of the Democratic parish commit
tee, and atter doing so he himself
claimed to be President of the Demo-
cratic parish committee, and has at
to act as such. For this
otfense he has been arraigned before
the Democratic party of the parish;
and that is the issue before the people,
and not the personal politics of Mr.. Es-
tilette and Mr.. Jackson twelve years
ago.

Bill Arp Sees a Pretty Sight.

"Over in North Carolina, at Durham" said
Bill Arp to reporter of the Atlanta "Consti-
tuition" the other day, "I saw the prettiest
sight IN the world. went into the grea.
factory and beheld spread out before me like
panorama an immense hall occupied by
seven hundred pretty girls. They were making
cigarettes. AS they deity rolled them between
their fingers they sang one of the hymns so
often used by Moody and Sankey in their rel-
gious services. I don't think ever heard
vocal music half SO sweet. It almost recon
ciled me to the fact that the tobacco in the
cigarettes is stepped in New England rum.
The cheeks of those girls were like roses, in
dicating health and high spirits. I tell you,
my friend, it was sight to be remembered.
