Jeannerette Blessed.

On Monday the 1st. of October, five OF
the Sisters of Mercy opened in that thri-
wing little city branch house of that
sterling institution, the Convent of Mercy.
The good people of Jeannerette will
soon be able to appreciate the blessings
which the advent of that institution of
learning and charity will have spread
over the whole section of country, and
the refined culture and training which
their beautiful and lovely daughters will
receive at the hands of the ever watching
good Sisters of Mercy.
The efforts of the Sisters of Mercy have
been fully appreciated by the people of
this town and country. and their four
schools are now in flOurishing condi-
ton; having nearly three hundred chill
dren.
We take the greatest pleasure in con-
graduating the people OF Jeannerette Oh
their acquisition.

The Issues.

We take the following interesting ar
tfcle from the Church Union, a prOhibi-
zionist paper, published in the City OF
New York. 1t is against the saloon and
stands fora wise reform of the tariff, ana
fair tariff Of protection:
What are the issues of to day? That is
the vital question. for out of to-day
comes tomorrow. We are making histO-
ry and decreeing history. The time has
come for every voter, regardless Of past
party affiliations, to inquire diligently
for the real issues in the fear of God.
The editor of this Journal devoted TO uni
flying Gods people has not surrendered
the birth right of every American citizen
to freely express his views on ques tiOns
of public policy. What are those ques-
tiOns now? The Democrats stand for TIA
riff reform" The Republicans stand for
high protective tariff" The Prohibi-
tiOn party represents what DR.. StOrrs has
called the only moral issue Of the time,
and on which as the Doctor himself tes-
titled, "the Republican party has faced
the wrong way. But more than this our
party represents all that is vitally best
in the appeals of the appeals Of the old
parties. See our platform on the tariff
and other questions. We stand for a
wise reform of the tariff, and a fair ia
riff of protection. We occupy ground
which the Republicans have abandoned
and which the best Democrats approve.
This has been affirmed by Seth Low, the
Chicago Tri' une, and many high Repub-
lican authorities, and has never been an
swered except by sneer at Sunday
school politics."
There was a day when this was not the
Republican fashion and his business has
gone too far for the recovery Of the party
that has allowed it. But We may go
farther than We have yet gone in asser-
ting that the party Of prohibition en-
braces all that was best in both the old
parties. 1t is logical development from
them an imperative demand Of the times.
What was the fundamental idea of the
Democratic party in its best days? The
voice Of the people is sacred and on all
questions the voice OF the people should
be heard. This is prohibition doctrine.
What was fundamentally embraced in
the Republican party in its best days?
Freedom, progress moral ideas and re-
form. A picture Of ourselves! We preserve
all the best that any time in the history
of the old parties appealed to the judge
ment and conscience Of voters and in ad-
ditiOn we say, the saloon must 60! And
thank God the future is ours, for we fear
lessly represents its needs, and with
strong faith and reverent hearts stand at
the door Of the Kingdom! Civilization
and humanity cannot 90 on to perfection
apart from the principles we maintain
We are truly DemOcratic-Republican and
Republican Democratic party, and repre-
sent the demands of conscience. We echo

A si1ty-three page pamphlet entitled
"F. A. Ruet, printer. The Protective
Tariff: A Political Tract Showing the
Advantages OF the American System. By
C. L. Edwards, Esq, Of tie Ellis
County Bar" has been received by The
GAZETTE. Or the cover ard title page
Mr.. Edwards quotes St. Matthew, by
special permission: "The voice OF one
crying in the Wilderness" and the BOOK
is dedicated "To my countrymen Of the
south who work for living, by one OF
their number" 10 rscy prefsce tie
author tells Us that the colonies and the
brigadiers have monopolized the politics
of the country, aided and abetted by the
captains, the majors and tie brevet
colonies, and he concludes that ii Is time
for the ex-CoDfede rate private to assert
the right to spesk out in meeting. OF
the work itself the suthor says:
mo pretensions are made to original
itY. The best and the worst authorities
have been drawn upon, and in some in
stances without credit. The arguments
are ss old as the nation end older. Nor is
any c!sim made to conservatism in the
treatment OF the question. A fierce ard
proscriptive intolerance has marked the
utterances of the opponents OF tariff pro-
lection. No quarter has been given, and
none is intended to be shown. 1t is
enough to feel that the wild, uniettered
ignorance of the freetrsdeTs cannot be
surpassed; that their views ore the veri-
table raw material OF tariff literature
Their lofty scorn OF everyday facts chsl-
lenges attention. The time is past for
aggressive error to take judgment By de-
fault, and the case as here presented is
submitted upon the law and the testi-
mony."
This saving clause puts the reader
somewhat on his guard, but the breezy
opening OF the introduction gives grounds
for expecting something better than that
The very first sub head should be ''antiqui-
ties" but that is the first dish set out.
After reviewing the history OF the tariff
