The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1890-07-12
DoWNED, BUT NOT 2

Nine months ago, we came to this
parish an entire stranger, without
friends or recommendation and
took charge of the MERIDIoNAL,
which had been knocked out of time
by the friends Of the Star on the
Police Jury. We have conducted
the paper recording to our own
ideas, and in the best interest OF The
peblic welfare. We have met
every issue that presented itself
%squarely and promptly. We have
neither lodged nor stradd;ed, and
on every matter Of Importance this
paper has spoken boldly and with.
out hesitation, and in such d tone
as to make its voice heard outside
Of its localized limlts. As to the
popular verdict respecting the worth
Of our paper. it is not necessary to
tell orr readers.
We have met our contemporary
in the field OF competition for public
printing, and have always under bid
him, thus obtaining the school board
and council printing. This week
the Police Jury opened the bids for
the parish printing; this papers bid
was 5000, that Of the Star 1925, and
by q vote of four to three. the con-
tract was awarded to us, aud the
police jury adjourned.
But this did not suit certain per-
sons, who Tor the present shall be
nalncless, and putting in motion
their political and personal influence,
got up . petition, and secured II
signers fall stockholders of the STAR
calling a special meeting of the
Police Jury to consider the print
ing bid. and putting on the screws,
priced Mr. Bartels, the honorable
member from the 7th ward, off the
side Of Right and Justice, and
went through the idle formality Of
awarding our contract to the Star.
That this was a cruel wrong
to us, a gross outrage upon pub lie
interest, and a wilIful violation of
their official oatils, must be appar,
ant to.every fair.mined mar under
the sun.
We think this final action of the
Police Jury was an absolute nullity,
and that the court will SO hold.
Having once awarded the contract
to US after due deliberation and an
honest vote, reason, equity and
law will alike decide they were
utterly powerless to make this con-
tract without our permission.

Fhe States, in an able article,
makes the suggestion that ibe
Legislature pass a vigorous protest
to Congress against The passage q
the Force Bill. 1t would no doubt
have a good effect with an impartial
Congress, bat as that body is
Constituted today, we question
very much the efficacy Of such q
resolution.

We hear that a grand reception
is to be rendered Representative
Hon. P. P. Signr, on his return to
Franklin from the legislature. He
is an active lottery man, and the
Ns'pros' are not to be outdone by the

lottery has "barts" of money, and

The Lafayette Vindicator man
evidently has q grudge against oil
anti lottery men. he is making q
kick because we publish lottery
advertisements. That is a matter
of business, not morality. Besides,
we are fighting this big lottery
scheme of yours on political and
economic grounds. Again, we don't
advocate lotteries even If we do
inform people they exist, and we
certainly hold out no such induce.

SECURITIES ARE DULL.
The fseactfOH Due to the large
Advance of Three Days Past.

New YORK, Nov. .4-The stock market to.
day was very active, and while inclined to
weakness at first, became decidedly strong
later in the day, and almost everything
traded in among the active stocks is mater-
ally higher than on Saturday As vet the
monetary situation in Wall street is not quite
satisfactory, as there is no time money in
sight, and brokers are still very cautious
about buying stocks on margins to- carry
which they must be dependent upon call
loans. This phase OF the situation gives the
bears announcement in the face of the re-
cent development and keeps them aggressive
to a marked degree. Confidence in a general
Improvement, however, continues strong es-
pecially III the stocks which have best with
stood the late severe depression such as Mis-
souri, Pacific, Union Pacific st. Paul, Wheel
Ing and Lake Erie and some others. There
was feeling upon the street this morning
that reaction was due from the large adj
vance of the last few days. and the bears and
traders were afraid to take any advantage of
the situation among buyers, and the opening
of the market was very ragged. although
there were some marked gains, such as l 12 in
Jersey Central and "a in Canada Southern.
The pressure to sell from this element did
induce some realizations by long holders on
