Now that the fight is over and set
tied, why not put Sullivan's portrait on
our new postage stamps. It is about
the only way, that any one can lick
the fstic champion.
Over in Jersey City il appears that a
jury that was evenly divided on the
guilt and innocence Of the prisoner set
FED the question by tossing up a cent
the Fesulb being conviction, while an
other man got clear hecause9 one Of the
jurors was his personal friend. How au.
thentic the reports to this effect are re-
mains to be shown, but evidently a iu-
dicial investigation IS in order. When
the machinery ofiustice is turned into
Q farce or degenerates into a game 81

No one is bound to put on the sOiled
livery Of Republicanism at the dlctum
of Mr.. Rousseau or any body else.
We know OF no law to compel u man
to change his patty, or even to place
him in a false position by acting as
the representative or a party to when
he does not belong.
Let Rousseau dictate to the ignO-
rant members of his party, if he will
| and they are willing, but the sooner
| he is made to understand that Demo
Gratis will not put up with his ohicious-
ness, the better it will be for all par
ties. He has not yet acquired his
| title as dictator of LafOurche, and If
| there is any manhood left in the
people of the parish, he will never
reach that eminence. Let him con-
sort with the members OF his party
and spend his campaign funds with
them as he chooses bus let Democrats
teach him that they will not brook
his interference among them. They
labor from patriotism and struggle
andtight for principles, not for Doodle,
and self asserted Republican chiefs
should know once for all.
And rumor has it that the ThibO-
daux Post Office is the luscious
plum for which Minors manager in
Lafourche is working so hard. They
do say it has been promised to him.
We do not vOuch for the rumOr al
though it seems to us to be we'll found
ed. Well, it seems to be the fashion
with these latter day saints OF Re-
publican persuasion of the Minor and
Rousseau type-nO sooner a Republic
can than a persistent Ofice-seeker.
As soon as they emerge from the wa
tiers of regeneration, they set up for
great prophets and leaders of their
new allies.
Indeed, SO general is the Office seek
ing propensity among the latter day
white converts to Republicanism that
the opinion obtains that most OF them
have turned coats to secure the Offices
which they could never reach in the
ranks of the Democracy.
The only wonder is that lifelong
Republicans do not seem to see
through the thin device and allow the
converts to push themselves forward
to the front rank.

HOME RULE.

Home rule is 1T stake in the pre-
sent contest. The administration at
Washington has nothing to do with
the management of Il local affairs.
1t has no right to interfere by attempt
ing to thrust upon the people Il mar
who on account Of his political tenets
andhisquestionable followingis obnox-
ious to the people. The administra-
ton may bestow the Federal patron
age in Louisiana to subserve the ends
OF a few political hacks who have al
ways been inimical tothe rights and in
terestsr of the people and the national
Republican Party may send respectt-
bic congressman from the north to
view-nay, perhaps, to watch-the
campaign and election, but unless we
are greatly mistaken in our estimate
OF the temper of the people, matters
will Il on as smoothly as ever, the
election will be as peaceable as ever
and Mr.. Minor will be buried under
an overwhelming majority.
On the day after the election, Mr..
Minor and his friends, as they con
template the political ruin around
them, may derive some little consola-
ton from the reflection that a 'sad
mistake has been maden and sootlle
their sick and dropping spirit by
gruesOme speculations on the "what
might have BEEN had they pursued a
different, wiser and more patriotic
course. But, then, the greed for the
''spoils of Office" has brought to sor-
wiser and stronger men than Mr..
Minor.
The people of Louisiana must and
will have "hOme rule" despite the
efforts of all the Warmoths, the Her.
wigs, the Kelloggs, the Minors, the
ct ID omne genus.

4 LIE NAILED.

The Republicans are an inventive
and INSCRIPTIONS set. They have
been claiming all the sugar planters
of the district, almost, as supporters
of Mr.. Minors and last week they
carried their p%retensions to the height
of a%ssurdity by starting the wild ru-
nor that the Hon. G.. Montegut. su-
perintendent of the Mint, vas a Minor
ia
To be sure non of those who are
acquainted with that distinguished
gentleman and know his ardent pa
triotism and unfinching Democracy
ever believed a word of it and at once
busted themselves denying the absurd
report. A personal friend of Mr.. Mon
tegut, wrote to him. aEprising him of
the report, being circulated and imme-
diately came an indignant reply,
branding it us an infamous lie. We
have seen the letter and it has a GEN
uine ring about it. The writer de-
nounces the rumor in question in the
following vigorous terms: ''The vile
SANDER originates no doubt with some
contemplate coward and unmitigated
liar who would blaspheme his own
mother"
With this vigorous denial we con-
sign the wild, unfounded and mali
ciOus rum0r to the limbo Of oblivion.

REPUBLICAN, PRESCRIPTION

Many of those whose names are
published in the list of e.. S. Super-
visors for the parish of Lafourche
will be astonished to find themselves
classed as Republicans. They will
wonder who furnished their names
and vouched for their Republicanism
to T.. S. Commissioner Wright. They
may be glad to learn that the discOy-
cry is credited to the fertile imagina-
ton and unparalleled cheek of p. o.
Rousseau the new Moses of the Re-
publican party IN Lafourche.
But there is a way to rebuke the
presumption of this intermeddler and
that way is by refusing to qualify.

TWO GRAND MISS MEETINGS

TWO GRAND MISS MEETINGS.
Last Sunday a grand Democratic
mass meeting was held at Lockport,
at which the Democracy of lower La
fourche rallied in vast numbers.
The spacious school house with a
seating capacity of 500 was filled to re-
pletion, with some two or three hun
dred mel on the outside. Stirring
addresses were delivered by Thos. A.
Badeaux Esq. DR.. John Gazzo and
Hon. L. P. Caillouet, District Attorney.
Messrs. Badeaux and Caillouet spoke
in French and English and all three
speakers were enthusiastically receiv-
ed and generously %applauded.
The best Of feelings prevailed, the
enthusiasm was general, even among
the many ladies present, and the
Democracy is thoroughly aroused.
The Thibodaux Brass Band was on
hand and contributed largely to the
pleasure of the occasion. The faith
full cannOn IA there too, and echoed
the enthusiasm of the people every
now and then in ceep-toned notes.
We congratulate our Lockport friends
on the success of their meeting, which
we are pleased to look upon as a
mere forecast of the result of the ell
ectiOn ut their poll.
On Monday another grand mass
meeting was held at the Cutoff at
which many ladies were present, as
we'll as nearly all the voters of La
fourche, Democrats and Republicans
alike. The meeting vas addressed by
Hon. l.. p. Caillouet who explained
the issues of the present campaign
and elected considerable applause
and other marks of approval. After
the meeting, the young bloods of the
place organized a ball and the evening
was passed off very pleasantly by the
old and young folks alike. Lower La
fourche bids fair to give Il good major
ity, if not IL solid vote for Andrew
Price.

ANDREW PRICE,
SATURDAY, AUG. 81. 1889.
RE.
OF LAFOURCHE.

Reports from pretty reliable sources
come to us that Il certain would be
Republican chief in this Parish who
has undertaken to manage Minors
Canvass in this neck of the woods has
been going round telling citizens in
various parts Of the Parish that he
has had, or is going, to have them ap-
pointed United States Deputy Mar
shals to take charge of their voting
precincts OF election day, presuma-
bly, for Minor. The impression seems
to have been created in some quarters
that these alleged appointees Of this
great Republican sachem are bound
to act under the law and Il vague
l1lmor or insinuatiOn floats around Of
dire consequences to the alleged APP
pointee who should fail to so act.
W. warn all good people that Meth
er the ~oficious fellow who is with
such presumption and brazen efront-
cry, attempting to deceive the people
and secure workers for the forlorn
hope he is supporting, and to impress
them with the importance of his self
assumed leadership of the Republican
party, nor any other man, nor any
authority, has the power of appoint
ing such U. S. Deputy Marshals for
this parish and any maj who allows
himself to be duped by any one into
the belief hat lie is an U. S. Deputy
Marshal and attempts as such to in
terfere in any way with the election,
will be liable to prosecution for un-
lawfully p~ersonating an officer.
We caution all good Democrats not
to permit this presumptuous man to
inveigle them into such embarrassing
position.
He has no power whatever to act,
and relies altogether on the good-na-
turedness and credulity of the people
to carry out his little game.
The law which is found in section
2O21 R. S. is plain:
"Whenever an election at which
Representatives OF Delegates in Con-
gress are to be chosen is held in n
city or town of 10000 Inhabitants or
upward, tine marshal for the district
i'll which such city or town is situated,
shall, upon the application, in writing,
Of at least two citizens residing in
such city or town, appoint deputy
Marshals" etc.
So that there does not appear to be
any authority for the appointment o
deputy marshals except in cities or
towns of 10000 inhabitants and II
one who pretends otherwise to any
II is either deceived himself OF is
attempting to- deceive others for some
Interior and sinister motives. Beware
Of him. And eve if there were au-
thority lodged somewhere to appoint
such deputy marshals, we know of no
law to compel any one to accept the
trust. If Minors manager in this
Parish wants respectable men to Il
his canvass, let him seek them else
where than in the ranks of Democracy
for the rank and file of the Democracy
are too honorable and respectable to
subserve his base ends.

Income from the Moose.

The few moose yet in Names woods
bring no inconsiderable money annual
ly to the State. l have been told of
one man who has spent SIS, 600 in Maine
trying to kill moose, and he has
neither secured the moose nor given
up the task. 1t would be greatly to
the benefit Of hunters who wish to call
moose if the law was changed so as to
make September an open month, for
only during the September moon is
there a reasonable prospect of success
in calling. 1t was once my pleasure to
meet a sportsman just in from moose
calling. His Indian had called moose
to the water, but was unable to get
him to come out of the bushes, and a
shot into the shadows was unsuccess-
full. Said the hunter: 81 have never
seen any sporting to compare with
this l could hear the moose coming
for an hour, and when he came down
off the hills to the water / could think
of nothing but locomotive off the
track and running through the woods.
/ have killed no moose, but that ex-
perience was worth all this trip cost
me. 1t fairly made my hair stand on
end to hear that moose come. Yes,
sir; it was worth $3.50 of any mans
money. Forest and Stream.

INCREDIBLE BARBARISM,

Some Exceedingly Interesting Phases of
the Negro Problem.
Our readers have been kept advised
from time to time of the remarkable
developments of barbarism that have
been taking place among the aegroes
in Liberty County and other sections
of the State.
These negroes are not less civilized
than the average negroes in the coun-
try districts of the South. The white
people of Liberty County have long
been noted for their piety, their re-
finement and their entertainments.
They are descended from Puritan
stock, and from the settlement at Mid
way have sprung some OF the most
distinguished men of the country.
Statesmen, soldiers, lawyers and liter
airy men have come out of Liberty,
and there Is no reason to believe that
the negroes there are any more ig-
norant than the average of their race
in any part of the South. If they are,
it is not because they were left to
themselves as slaves, but it is because
they have deliberately relapsed into
barbarism.
Never were there i1ore fortunate,
bondsmen than those that fell to the
