cular from the Shreveport Fair Associ-
alton relative to the fair to be given in

ed gentlemen of your parish will take
necessary steps to secure full exhibit
from your parish.
We would be pleased to hear from
you on this subject at any time. Our
premium list will be ready for dlstribu
tion about July IS, copy of which
will be sent you. We offer this year
$25, 900 in premiums. and promise the
best fair ever held in the South.
The managers of the Louisiana State
Fair and Shreveport Exposition have
decided to offer special premiums for

isiana, and offer the following liberal

To the parish making the largest

who Will 90 to Congress 2
spECULATIONs AT THE CAPITAL.

N. o. City Item.
Judge A. A. Gunby, of Ouachita, who
was in Baton Rouge this week in at
tendance upon the meeting of the Lou
isiana Educational Society, informed
Representative Garretson, of that par
ish, that he would not be canditate
for Congress. The Impression prevails
that Hon. Cherubnsco Newton will be
renominated, though there are many as
pirants for his Congressional shoes.
1t is held, at the Capital, that Con-
gresham Theodore S. Wilkinson will
be renominated in the First District.
City Attorney Carleton Hunt may be
pushed forward as candidate. In dis
cussing the probabilities at the State
House last Thursday a gentleman sug-
gested that Judge White would be a
candidate. Senator EstOpinal denied
this, and said that he felt certain that
Judge White was friend of Mr.. Will
kinson, and he offered to wager that
the latter gentleman would be his own
successor.
In til, Second District the name OF
Representative Euclid Borland of the
tenth ward is being extensively men
toned for Congress. Hon. Matt D. La
gan has q strong backing, and il ex-
pected by his many friends to return as
the representative of that district.
1t is reported that Collector B. F. Jo-
mas will be o candidate in the Second
District.
In the Third District Hon. j. NJ. Av
cry of Iberia and Congressman Gay
will contest for the honor of making
the fight, in that district, as Hon. NJ.
i. Foster of st, Mary has declined to
enter the race.
In the Fourth Congressional District
u careful survey of the situation shows
that if an available man can be found,
MIR. Blanchard may be defeated, even
in Caddo parish. If canvass is made
in the district the result would very
likely be as in Caddo, except perhaps
in Natchitoches. The man most spoken
of as a candidate 10 opposition to the
present Congressman is Judge w. r.
Blackman. of Rapides, who, if he were
to signify his intention to make the con-
test, it is alleged, would sweep the dis
trlct. Mr.. Sntherlin is also favorably
mentioned.
The Sixth District, Judging by the
gossip, is free for all race, with at
least one "fago lite SOM in each parish.

In appointing Samuel Douglas Nc
Emery Associate Justice:Of the Supreme
Court, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
| the expiration of the term of Justice r.
M. Todd, Gov. Nichols not only in
dicated his own profound appreciation
of the eminent services to the State of
his predecessor in the Executive Office,
but gracefully responded to the unani
nous and earnest desire of the whole
people of Louisiana.
No man in the State is better fitted
to discharge the duties of the exalted
station to which he has been chosen,
and it can he as truly said that no man
in the State so we'll deserved the honor
conferred by the Governor as his late
manly and magnanimous opponent.
1t is an easy thing to be just and
generous in victory, but it takes true,
brave, strong man to display those
traits in defeat and amid the wreck of
his own personal ambitions. When
Gov. McEnery rose superior to dis
aster, and sinking self utterly, flung
himself heart and soul into the canvass
in support of his late adversary and in
OCA0lk va OuO DCuONAuCyf uO PAObCN
himself to be man in the highest and
nOblest acceptation of the word, and the
people, always ready to recognize real
worth and genuine heroism, were
prouder of McEnery defeated than when
their ballots had RIoclaimed him Gov
ernOr.
Associate Justice McEnery will be an
ornament to an able bench. His
speeches during the campaign and his
many admirable addresses and State
papers proved him to be possessed of
broad and cultured mind. He is at
once scholar and jurist.
We congratulate Gov. Nichols upon
this act of his, which is as graceful as it
is deserved. Ii will rebound to bis own
credit, to the credit of his administra-
ton and to the benefit of the State.

Baton Rouge Truth: When the Sun
day law was passed by the Legislature
in 1886, many, who were opposed to it,,
claimed that it would surely be repealed
by the General Assembly in 1883. That
% law which interfered with the in
dividual rights of q man could not pos
sibly stand. But after two years. trial
it seems that the Sunday law has gain
ed many supporters, and is now fixed
and permanent law of the State. Its
observance has demonstrated the fact,
that while it may interfere with the
supposed rights of few, it gives to
thousands of others, that which every
man needs, day of rest and recrea-
ton. Merchants find, in summing up a
years business, that their sales have
been as large as they were when keep
ing their stores open on Sunday, while
their clerks have had the personal IL
berty' of one day of rest, after six Of
toll The same applies to all branches
of business If anythingis done regard
ing the Sunday law by the General AS
sembly, let it be to enact more strin-
gent laws for its enforcement.

WEATHER AND ARM-Owing to the
daily showers which have fallen for the
past two or three weeks our farmers
have had a severe struggle with crab
grass, and with all their energy and la
Dor have been unable to keep their cot
ton crops in clean condition. When
the grass was chopped ont from the cot
ton it would take again in the middle
of the rows, and when the mIddles were
ploughed ont it would take again next
to the cotton: thus necessitating double
work for the hoes and plows. Still the
plants look green and vigorous and
show little signs of blight or rust The
prospect of corn crop was never bet
ter, and if not damaged by wiud storms
hereafter, st Landry win have large
surplus for the market again this year.
The outlook for rice and sweet potatoes
is also qaite favorable. What the
planters want now is dry weather fol
the next two or three weeks to clean
their cotton crops.

Fred. Douglass is reported to be
worth $500, 900. He made this money
by lecturing on the negro's condition

i But we believe that if he were to
