"a stuffed dog" is advertised in Boston as "the

word dainty in this connection seems to me as
much out of place as Carnival when applied to Il
boat race or fantastic procession. Carnival is
from the Latin, means farewell to flesh and in
Catholic countries designates the festivities imme-
diately preceding Lent.

The GOsalee CPOcEae Case.
Comments of the Press on the Verdict

n. o. City Item.
The Law again raises its head. Outraged
justice shakes the dust of humiliation from
her robes. Regulatorism receives its just de-
serts. Glory be to the jury aud judges of St.
Landry parish Now let the good men of La
fayette. st. Martin, Madison and Carroll go
and do likewise.
N o. Times Democrat
ST Landry has indicated itself and shown
that it is the home of law and order, and that
outrage and lawlessness can and will be pun
ished there. In the Coulee Croche cases there
has been no failure of fjustice, as i'll nei ghbOr
ing parishes The conspiracy against the law
has been defeated, and the men engaged i'll
the Duplrchain outrage found guilty.
The verdict was not reached without some
difficulty. There was the same effort among
the friends of the accused as in Lafayette to
prevent a verdict, aud when few days ago
we called attention to their Vaccinations the
outlook for fair trial was unfayorable. A
timely warning, however, aroused the order
loving people of St. Landry and steps were
taken to defeat the efforts made to comprom-
Use or stop these trials. These steps were Sut-
fcient, and the jury now declares, on behalf
of the people OF st. Landry that reguiatorism
and lawlessness cannot be tolerated there,
but that all those who indulge in it will have
tn go to prison.
The good people Of ST. Landry are delighted,
We understand, over the result and they
have good reason to he so They have done
excellent work for their parish and the State;
aud the stigma against Louisiana since the
failure of similar trials in Lafayette is remoy-
ed 1t is shown that the law is still omnipo
teut here we'll able to assert and enforce it
self, and that only in a few parishes is it weak.
St. Landry makes this fact known to the
world. 1t is needless to say that after the
fading of ID verdict of guilty in the Coulee
Croche cases, the regulators will conclude
that the climate of that parish is not good for
them and it is reasonable to believe that st.
Landry will continue to secure that capital
and immigration which will naturally pou r
into country as rich and fertile as it is, and
where it is shown that peace and order pre-
vail and the law ia supreme
