| Last Monday Superintendent Owen of
the Morgan Railroad came before tie
Police Jury to discuss with said body
about crossing at Cade Station. After
some deliberatiOn Mr.. Owen invited the
members to visit the spot, they followed
him to his special train accompanied by
Sheriff Cab. Gardemal and Mr.. Felix
Bienvenu. The trip was made in one
hour and to the satisfaction Ofall, it was
understood that the crossing will be
made under the bridge of COulee Lassalle
at the COmpany's expense.
The Plaquemine Prote ,tor end good
article ON the protection democrat it the
following terms:
IF to be a protection Democrat, is trea
cherry to the Democratic party, then We
say that our parish abound with these
: traitors who are just now more interes-
ted i'm the river and the prospects of the
coming crops than in the laundering
utterances of the great newspaper of the
South"
This is the principle of the Messenger
and the principle of all who have at
heart the interest of Louisiana. Poll
ticians whose only principle is to get
offices will always oppose this principle
but the true citizen will always stick
to it. Without protection, Louisiana's 5
Sugar and rice Industries cannot exist.
Therefore let the politicians growl as
much as they please, but look to your
interest before that of your politician
friends.
The most extraordinary jury ever
heard of was the one in the case of the
State Of Mississippi vs. DIR. j. j. GOss for
the murder of VernadO i'm Osyka Miss.
some time ago. The case was tried last
week. and when the jury entered the room
for their deliberatiOn, according to what
one Of the jurors said; nine were for
verdict Of murder and three were for mur-
der without capital punishment. And to
.he great surprise and Indignation of the
whole nation, in the morning returned a
verdict of not guilty. Well we are not
at all surprised but we are under the i'm
preston that some one must have COM
municated with the jurors and that boo
die had a good deal to say about the YER
dict Of not guilty; for it is not possible
for nine jurors to enter the jury room
finding man guilty of murder in the
first degree and before leaving that room
find him innocent as a lamb! something

Local Lights.

Several planters in this section have
laid by their corn crop this week. The
corn is in very fine condition and pro-
mises an abundant yield.
Although retarded by the cool nights
the crops in general are reported fine. The
stand Of cane, stubble and plant is all
that could be desired.
Since the first OF May prayers are held
at the Catholic church every evening and
will continue SO until the last day of this
brautiful month.
Dick Haws, the Birmingham murder
er was found guilty last week and will
hang, unless the supreme court to which
an appeal is taken, reverse the verdict
of the jury.
MIR. F. NJ. Welch, it appears has given

Miss Jeanne, left here Sunday last to Wis

Etienne Dcschamps. alias Dejan, who
brutally murdered little Juliettc Dietsch
on the Both of January last in New Or
leans. was tried, and after trial of two
days the jury returned with Il verdict of
guilty. The penalty is death.
The Messenger does not believe in
suppressing news items because it will
not please some one. 1t has been laun-
ched in the journalistic field as n news
paper and it will give the news. and all
the news it can get, therefore. il you
want to be kept posted on local events
take and read the Messenger.
In the Times-D Democrat of Saturday

THE sEMl-cENTENNlAl

Fifty years passed away and the semi-cen-
tennial OF the first Inauguration was celebrated
by the New York Historical society April
90, 1880. The accomplished John Quincy
Adams delivered an eloquent address Forty
ono years more passed, and In 1880 tho
chamber of commerce Of New York began
the movement to erect colossal bronze
statue of Washington on the same spot
where he took the inaugural oath. Tho nee
essary money was raised in a few days and
the work was executed by the eminent sculp-
tor, John Quincy Adams Ward.
On tho 18th of November, 1888, tho ono
