Capitalization,

We copy the following well put viey
from tho Weekly La, Review of Sept
10Th.
we have made alarming strides to
wards the Capitalization of power int
the hands of the few. Capitalization
has Its apostles in all the pohtica
camps. 1t seeks to transfer rights anC
powers heretofore enjoyed by the States
to the Federal authority, and In the
States, the few arc pcrsistently en-.
gagged 10 the work of usurping the
rights of the many.
The tendency towards Capitalization
has, Of late years, developed to alarm
ing proportions, and whenever the few
a2prehend difficulty in prevailing upon
the many to accept their dictum, they
straightway devise some pretext or
method to ende the test of the ballot
| box.
There is room for some good old
fashioned Democratic statesmausllip,
! just now, North and South, to check
the capitalization tendencies of the
period
These are plain facts which might ap-
proprately be added TO. There is a
cause Which las tended to their multi
plication and which Intelligent gentle
men, like the editor of that able journal,
shonld continue to expose.
If we can aid in pulling the mask off
the face of the people, 80 that they may
better see things as they actually are
in time to avoid the worst of political
disasters, we shall be happy in doing so.
From causes which need not now be
stated, the public journals have, in our
opinion, been greatly to blame for this
state of things. Not always daring to
hold the torch of Liberty, Gas vouch-
safed by the Constitution, and the
precepts and teachings of it's trainers,
and prime interpreters.) prominently
before their readers, they have too often
alas . exhausted their efforts on tempo
rary ezpedients, unmindfuf of the drift
towards an all destructive whirlpool of
demagogueism.
The tue and safe teacher of the
christian theology starts with the cross
of his great exemplar, pleads for it,
suffers for it, and under all the varying
temptations and alluring accidents of
life. clings to it with an unfalteripg
tizedness of purpose.
Editors who desire to be useful-who
to direct public opinion in the
science of our government, should do
likewise by the Constitutions of the
Federal and State governments.
In the present state of sectional feel |
ing (Which we are happy to say is grad
nally though slowly subsiding. into one |
Df greater harmoniousness) nothing
10 question, that can come up, should |
Antice journalists from their devotion to |
he Constitution. 1t is known to everv |
we VITO can and does think, that the
llustFious authors of that noblest of
iuman characters, aud organizers of
hese governments, never intended thew
should become centralized.

Recital of Facts With Suggestion.

The meeting of the delegates to The
parish convention was held in this place
Oh Thursday last 1t was the intention
OF the voters that they should favor the
nomination of Hon. s. NJ. Robertson FOL
Congress. Yet! when motion was
offered by Senator Willis 3. Prescott
to instruct the delegates to the Congress.
sional convention held st Baton Rouge
it was voted down by large majority
1t was thought that Robertson does not
favor the Sub Treasury Bill, demanded
hy the Farmers Alliance, and a resolu-
tion was adopted requiring the nominee
of the Baton Rouge convention to sup
poIt it. This ia we'll understood to be
equivalent to instruction to oppose his
nomination. Can the delegates who
sanctioned tins, claim that they repre-
scnted those who sent them there?
When the convention met, it very
soon became apparent that, the Anti
Lotteryites and those belonging to the
Farmers Alliance had already formed
combination to carry everything their
own way with a high hand. They
called for division from all other
members, and the antis and Farmers
Alliance men as eucl, left their Demo-
cratic brethren and took their seats on
a separate side of the house. All were
elected MS Democrats and by what
authority they assume other names and
made distinctions we know not. We
have on moIe than one occasion spoken
of the efforts Of these Anti -Lotteryitea,
to divide and disintegate the Democra-
tic party. Their manoeuvers in the
convention leave nothing to doubt
about it.
Why this separation, il ii Was desired
that it continue united7 Why these
newly adopted distinctions in body
which every voting citizen had been in
duced to believe was Democratic
Why betray the people who voted for
delegates to support s. NJ. Robertson
and for nothing else7 Why spring sucl,
an issue, when it was denied before the
people that such was the issue7
All we desire to do at this time, is to |
direct the attention of the Democratic |
party to the necessity of more circum-
spection in the future when called upon
to elect delegates.
1t is evident that the convention OF
asst Thursday so conducted its entire
deliberations as to lead to a division of
he party if the course then pursued, is
to be followed Our sugges-
ion is halt gentlemen, you are on the
wrong road to Democratic unity. If you
mean disintegration say so openly.
St. Landry democrat., 1890-09-27

Some of our exchanges amuse their
readers by publishing short paragraphs,
| containing what funny man said, and
it is possibly good policy to do so.
We heard funny man say that, the
delegates from the Farmers Alliance
and the so-called Democratic delegates
had. by their consentaneous proceedings
in the last parish meeting of delegates,
forcibly reminded bim Of two blue run
ner snakes he saw meet in the woods
one day. They got to fighting, and
each caught the other by the tail and
swallowed until both disappeared. He
said when the feat was accomplished
neither was any longer visible, and he
left.
Another came into our sanctum and
told us of an incident which he said
seemed queer to him. Said he attended
a meeting of citizens somewhere, and to
be certain to be there in time, had
reached the village the evening before.
He and little party sat up and played
draw poker all highland drank as
much whiskey as prudence sanctioned.
The next day one of them mounted the
stand and made a vehement speech de-
nouncing the Lottery as being gamb-
ling institution.
Another funny man dropped in and
told us that, he was glad the President
had signed the Anti-Lottery censorship
bill, because he was an out and out
Statcs-right Democrat of the Jefferson.
iau school.
Another said he was opposed to the
annual revenue Morris proposed to pay
the State, because the office holders
would manage to take all of it, and the
schools and levees and asylums would
get none. We eDdeavored to persuade
him he was possibly mistaken as we
have none but sound Democrats like
him, in office. But he seemed incorrigi-
bile,

The passage of the Anti-Lottery Post
Office bill, and its immediate enforce

Department of espionage, will cause no
interruption of the Lottery business,

Our friend B. F. Mesinley gave a
little entertainment at his lunch house
one day last week, to which he kindly
invited Us. We were not fortunate
enough to be able to attend, but others
did, and they speak of it 10 turns alto
gether complimentary to the hospitable
host. He is always affable, kind and

accept our apology for omitting to men,
