rO THIS COMPLEXION HAS 1T COME AT

We are informed by a gentleman of
this parish, whose veracity cannot be
~impeached. that he wa requested by
a Senator who stands near to the
Governor, to say to the Office holders
of the parish of Iberville that they
should repair to the capital and afix
their signatures to an anti-lottery
petition if they desired their names
sent to the Senate for confirmation.
Can such things bel Has the State
government resolved itself into a ring
to perpetnate it's powers ? Is it posi-
BILE that the Governor exacts a pledge
of obedience to his will and caprice
before the coveted office can be filled
by the applicant for it? Is not all this
tending to the worst kind of personal
ism?
Did not the Governor end his lieu
tenants, in the last campaign, denounce
the government of McEnery for the
reason, as alleged, that these very
enormities were practiced by him ?
This being the case, is it any wonder
that a large number of the Nichols

Feeding Meat To Poultry.

Meat is absolutely necessary. if a
full supply of eggs is expected. Eggs
contain q large proportion of matter
which must be supplied in a oncen
trated form, ard while the grains af-
ford a fair proportion it is more easily
supplied in the shape Of meat. 1t
seems to frighten some poultry raisers
to say that they must furnish meat, for
with beef at fifteen cents a pound the
solution of eggs is rather problemati-
cal. 1t is not SO necessary, however,
to go Sc far in expense, for meat NAV
be furnished in several shapes, and
answering as we'll for the purposes in
tended, as the very best from the
butcher.
Lean meat is better than that which
is fat, and the freer it is from odor the
better. There is now on the market
ground meat, which sells at about
three cents per pound, made from the
refuse meat of boiling establishments,
and as the fat is first extracted, the
meat is then dried and ground to a
powder, which enables one to feed it
with soft food. The extraction Of the
fat does no injury, for a pound of meat
is better than a pound of meat and fat.
Fat is carbon, and the grains contain
it, but lean meat and fiber contain nit
rOgen, which is the substance desired
when feeding meat. 1t is not so much
to be fed in the quantity as in the
quality, and the buyer should seek to
buy only what is required, RETAINING
as much as possible from purchasing
that which is more easily procured in
other forms.
To derive a supply of nitrogen, it
does not matter how we feed it, so it is
given. Blood is rich in nitrogen, and
if taken from the slaughter house when
fresh, put in a bag and cooked, it is
equal to the best meat that can be
found. Fresh bones, pounded, espe-
cially when not steamed, are good for
the purpose, and the carcasse OF all
kinds of animals may be cooked and
utilized also, unless such animals die
from disease. If By accident a sheep
be killed, and it is not used for the

pieces, and then thieken the mass with
corn meal, seasoned with a little salt.
When thoroughly cold, place it in a
close box, burn some sulphur, shut
down the lid tightly, and leave it for
an hour. The mixture will then keep
any length oftime, ear be dried with
out danger of fermentation, and after
wards mixed dis needed, with Soft food.
The bones should be taken out and
pounded or ground. The ~carcasses of
dogs, rats, cats, orinjured fowls, may
be used, Us also the ''lights' of slaugh-
tered animals, such as lungs, entrails,
and other refuse portions. There is
often much material wasted, which
might conveniently be used for fowls,
but for prejudice against it.-Miss
Lille Jacobs, in 4mcricaR Raral Home.

Congress has the silver bill i'll con-
ference committee. 1t looks as if the
Republican senators who were so
rampant for free coinage are about to
back down from the position they oc-
cupied during the discussion of that
question. That is true Republicanism
however, smooth words for promises,
kicks for action. Nothing that will
benefit the farmer or wage Garner can
receive the support of a Republican
statesman, but let a Carnegie, Wana-
maker or Vanderbilt come along and
they will receive their unanimous
support.

Gen. Alexander Declouet died a
few days ago, at his home, in the par
ish Of Lafayette. He has been a con-
spicious figure in Louisiana politics for
more than half a century. The writer
east his first vote in Louisiana for
Gen Declouet, then the wing candi-
date flor governor, but net the lucky
one.
He served frequently il the Legis-
lature, and also as a member of the
confederate congress. He was elected
colonel Of the twenty sixth Louisiana
Regiment c. s. Army, but did not
serve long in that capacity. He was
at II tiHle, II nan OF wealth owning
ii large sugar estate in the parish Ut
st. Martin. In the cyclone that gave
wings to riches his home was swept
away. after which lie settled III La
fayette.
Gen. Dscloaet was an honorable
man, highly esteemed by all who
knew hiu,, nated fcr his hospitality,
and>charity.
At Il good old age he has passed
away, and in his death one of the
grand landmarks OF Louisiana is re-
moved forever.

The Legislature has been in a pretty
middle in its-dying struggles. Every
member having some pet schemes to
work through, not being able to c
coed, strove to prevent others from
doing anything. Such conduct is not
c~ommendable to say the least of it, vet
it seems to be the general finale of all
legislative assemblies Of late years.
All sorts of dilatory motions prevail
and a hubbub takes possessions of the
members, who begin to play circus,
each on his own account.

When the veto of the Lottery bill
reached the Senate, that body refused
to act upon it, declaring that an act
amending the constitution Of the
State required the vote of two thirds
of each members of the House, and
did not need the signature of the
Governor to make it efficient.
That however remains an open le-
gal point that will be decided only by
the supreme court.
Common sense would indicate that,
when any proposed amendment de-
mands two thirds of the votes all the
members of the assembly, in their res
pective halls, that would be sufficient
as two third votes ovefrides any
executive veto, and having obtained
that support once, there would be no
occasion to have a repetition,

The question as to whetherthe Force
bill will go through the senate is the
conundrum that is now presented to
the American people. That it cannot
pass, the present session, unless the
Senate deviates from the practice here
tofore followed by that body. The at
tempt to turn that body into a mob
ruled by the presiding officer. as the
lower house Of Congress is, has met
with the opposition of Edmunds and
other leading republican senators
whether they will relax their rules is
the problem. 1t does not seem likely
that they will, and It is to be hoped
that they will not.
If not, then the Force bill, intended
to cause riot and bloodshed, in many
parts of the country, never can come
to a vote during the present session.

To the United States Senate:
"Tbe Southern States Colored
Republican ASSOCIATION" having
for its object the ameIioration.of
the political condition of the col
ored voters in the South, do in
behalf of said voters earnestly Pc
tition your honorable body to pass
the Lodge Federal Election Bill,
which, in our judgement, is nee
essary to secure free and fair elec.
tious in the South.
The best form of government is
that of a Republic, but the worst
form of citizenship is distranchis-
ed citizenship in a republican form
of government. That such de-
plorable condition (disfranchised
citizenship is the fate of the color
ed citizens in the South, is now
admitted by both political par
ties.
We do not seek "denomina-
ton" over the white people of the
South; we seek participation as
citizens in the governments of the
South, and the full enjoyment of
every political right accorded by
the constitution aud laws of the
United States.
We congratulate the country
that the Federal Election Bill has
passed the House of Representa-
tives, and we pray for its speedy
adoption by the Senate.
