CANDIDATES FOR TIE MAYoRAL1TY


governor has smashed many states in
both the great political parties; it has
put the local Republicans to deeper
thinking than 1t has their brother
Democrats. The Republicans were all,
more or less, confident that the Mime
apolis mayor would receive the guber-
material nomination, and had accord
ingly proceeded to make up city as

atty candidates in the ''grand old party"
were springing up SO fast, that the lead
ers of the party were afraid that there
would not be enough left to fill the
other Offices, but the situation has
changed, and suddenly too, and now
but one candidate for the chief magis-
tracy of the city can b seen, and that
too with the aid of a field glass. Capt.
Babb who was first spoken of for the
city ticket, is now on the fence viewing
the forces of both parties, and is about
ready to write letter declining to be a
candidate, assigning of course business
matters to be attended to- as his reason.
This sudden change Of position, it is
said, is all due to the probability Of DR..
Ames being candidate for reelection.
To what extent the DOCTORS re-nomina-

ticket is not very clear, but he certainly
would be materially assisted, if re-nom-
mated, by Mr.. Wilson. The latter, it is

Baton Rouge Capitolian-AdS
vocate: The catfish trade at
West Melville, on the Atchafa-
laya river, has grown to be an
immense business. There are
three or four business houses
there that make a speciality OF
shipments of fresh catfish on
Ice, sending them to the prairie
sections of Texas, and reaplng a
handsome profit. Last year a
business of upwards of $4,000
was done at West Melville, SO
We are informed, and that one
house alone did a business OF
$4,000. Fishermen ocatch the
hsh, bring them in tanks to
West Melville, where they sci
them alive to the shippers. The
fsh are beheaded, skinned ane
carefully packed in ice boxes
and shipped by rail to different
points in Texas and elsewhere

DR.. G. A. McGowen, the hand
some editor of the Jeannerette
Pilot, attended the Press Con-
vention here last week, and in
his last issue, among other
things, has this to say of the oc-
casion: s..
Perfect weather, princely hos
pitality and the intellectual eff
forts of some of the ablest and
most famous men and women in
Louisiana, made the meeting
forever memorable to all who
were SO fortunate as to take it
in either as members of the as
ISOLATION, or in the audience that
thronged the spacious court
room of Opelousas. 1t
would be most unjust if we omit
ted to acknowledge the large
part which ProfoM Mayer with his
we'll trained choir of charming
Opelousas ladies contributed to
the enjoyment of the meeting.
The hospitality Of the citizens
was unsurpassed in the annals
of the hospitable South, and
more than sustained the ancient
reputation of st. Landry parish.
Every member Of the associa-
ton bears away memories OF it,
which no lapse of time will eff
face, and it would not be sur
prising if the bright eyes OF
Evangeline's countrywomen, so
famous for their beauty, had
played havoc with hearts OF
some of the younger members
of the quill. 1t is no disparage-
ment to places nearer home to
say st. Landry journalists are
fortunate in being so pleasantly
located. And no true knight
of the pen would at the
fate-even if advertisers were
spare and subscription slow
that would place him within
range Of the delightful fire o.
st. Landry ladies' eyes.
A word more with regard te
the convention. The exquisite
music of Mendelssohn as render
ed by Prof. Mayors orchestr;
was not more harmonious thar
this meeting of journalists from
every part of the State and o
various shades of political opln
lion. It would be we'll if othe
conventions would take exam
pie from this pleasant meeting
of our Press Association.

There is one feature of the
Louisiana law relative to title
in real estate that is clearly faul-
ty. This is that the original act
of sale is required to be deposit
ed in the clerks office and re-
corded. In Texas, and we be-
lieve most all other States Of the
Union, the law only requires
that the act should be recorded
and the original then passes into
the hands of the owner of the
property. The Louisiana law is,
we think, arbitrary, unjust, an
tediluvian, and should be repeal
ed. Take one instance only, the
burning of the courthouse. Had
the title deeds been i'll posses
sion of the owners of the prop
erty they conveyed instead OF
the wooden courthouse, how
easily all the muddled condition
of titles woE,ll9 have been ar
ranged. Every man would have
come forward and have his chain
of titles recorded, and that would
have speedily placed things on
their former basis. AS it is, the
originals, as we'll as the records.
are destroyed, and years and
years will have to elapse before
certain, safe titles can, in many
instances, be given. We would
like to hear the views of some OF
our confreres and lawyers or
this important subject. If we
are wrong in our views of the
matter we wish to be corrected
