Cotton Seed for Our People.

The people Of this parish who are now
0verfOwed, who have lost almost all they
had, short OF means to buy seed to re.
plant their crop when the water recedes
have called upon Sheriff Gardemal to try
and do something for them if it was in his
power to do so. The Sheriff knowing
that the only source from which those
people could get assistance was from the
generous and liberal Louisiana State
Lottery Company, whose purse is always
open to relieve our suffering people, ad-
dressed the company the following letter:
st. MARTIN PARISH, La.
st. Martinville, May 9Th 1890.
n. A. Dauphin Esq, Louisiana Lottery Co,
New Orleans, La,
Dear Sir:-Judging from the sad con-
ditiOn OF affairs IN the alluvial section

called upon by many of the unfortunate

ed from the limits of Iberia parish up to
st. Landry, a distsnce of thirty-fve miles,
and running as near the Teche at twen-
ty-fye arpents. Seten hundred and fifty
sacks OF cotton seed are needed to replant
when the water recedes. Will you kind
iy take this matter under consideration
and continue your benevOlence?
Feeling satisfied that the honorable
members of our pOiics jury will approve
OF and feel grateful at any favor ten
dered otr needy people, l remain; ex-
pecting an early and favorable reply,
Yours truly,
CAB. GARDEMAL, Sheriff.

Let the People Decide.

The reason why we favor the plan to
submit the lottery question before the
people is because when the present legis-
latltre was elected that great and all ab-
sorting question, the lottery, was not
mentioned, and therefore; the present
Legislature have not the least idea of what
Is the wish Of their constituencies. We
notice in the several parishes it has
raised considerable comments and dis
cussiOns, many are in favor o. a rechar-
ter while many are opposed not only to
the retharter, but opposed to the amend
ments to the constitution so as to pre-
vent the question from coming before
the people for their approval Or disap-
prOvaI,
We believe it to be the duty of every
legislator to have the views Of his cOnsti-
tuencv before he takes decisive action
in matter of so great importance for
the state and the people in general.
The amendments will not create or
perpetuate the lottery in Louisiana, they
will only bring it before the people, and
they by their vote will ratify or reject
the proposed amendments. If they want
the lottery let them have it, if they do not
want it then let them reject it. If they
have enough judgment to choose a Co.
vernon, other state afficials, the legisla-
ture etc., they certainly have enough
judgment to decide for themselves whe-
ther they want the lottery or not.
Therefore, let them decide for them
selves and let the responsibility fall up
on their sturdy shoulders.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only ore way to cure Deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets III
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken

That Defense.

The Reveille in its TRADE of last weel
tried to impress upon the minds Of its
readers that the regulators are little an
gels incapable of committing any law
| less act.
We said in cur issue Of the 3D.. inst.
that move was seen around the jail
when the negro Provost was acquitted
and that those who witnessed the anu
suut more betiered that it was to harm
the negro, as il had been rumOred on thu
streets that threats were made against
him. We got our information from
Sheriff Gardemal and hil jailer, Mr.
AdOlphe Bienvenu, who we believe re-
liable and responsible parties.
Every man of fair and unprejudiced
mind who can think for himself knows
that the regulators are lawless organ
izatiOn and that they have committed a
number of lawless acts which the Re-
veille has perhaps not been informed of.
A large number, undoubtedly the three
quarters Of the white voters of this par
ish we're induced to iOin the regulators
under the belief that it was to suppress
negro rule and proclaim White Supre-
macy, but as sOou as they discovered that
they had been entraTped in a lawless
organization by wolves under the appear
ance of an innocent lamb-politicians
who had cOncOcted this plan for their
own personal interest, the law abiding
and disinterested have withdrawn from
the organization. A few more of our
people who have not yet seen the game
of these ambitious and aspiring po,sti-
clans remain In the association but they
are withdrawing from it every day,
and God bless them for retiring from
such an association.
The Reveille, like heto, comes to the
defense of the innocent and inOffensive
regulators and brought forth arguments
which are ridiculous. All this eff,lsiOn
is too thin for the people of this com.
Your game is known and
neither pleading nor argument will raj
ly our people in such lawltss OrgaDiza-
tions, and those who depend on the regu-
latOrs to put them in office lawlpssly or
fraudulently will be sadly left, and sore
ly disappointed.
The Messenger does not propose TO be
the mouth piece of any set of politicians.
We will condemn lawlessness and main
tain law and order as much as it is in
our power to do so, and We do It for the
best interest of our parish and people.
We do not care straw about the how
ling of those who are kicking so hard,
We understand that the death of their
pet organization is a terrible blow to
hem, which means--no Office-Oh! how
terrible.

A SURPRISE FOR OTTAWA.
A Display In Lace Curtains. and Linens
Never Before Seen In the County!

While Ottawa for years has held her
own in displaying fine goods of nearly
every grade, there has always been IA
who would lead in display OF the
finest imported goods, whether 1T was
in dress goods, or trimmings OF finest
lace, made only by the hands OF skilled
workers in the Old World, or woven
in looms manipulated by those whose
lives have been spent in the produc-
ton of faultleSS patterns. But the
past two weeks has developed the fact
that III. j. Gillen-while he has al
ways stood prominent in the Fronts
to-day an actual dealer in and a
representative of the finest manufact-
urers of lace produced in the entire
Old WOrld-goOds made by no other
hands can compare with them. Go
into Mr.. Gillen'S store and on the
second floor you will find a large room
devoted entirely to the display OF lace
curtains and fine linen. After twenty
five years it has remained for Gillen.
through his never ending energy and
determination to give dollar for dol
lar" to set up an "art gallery" in fab
rickS-never before witnessed in La
Sale county. There can be seen here
lace curtans-the quality of which
would adorn millionalres residence
in quality and style never before
shown in this part of the state, II
west of New York city: in fact you see
here the finest line of goods in lace
and linen. that a life experience OF the
most skilled can produce. 1t is
treat even to look at these goods,
whether you buy them or not: and
hundreds have wondered what Mr..
Gillen's motive was in purchasing
such a line of goods, which at first
thought belong only to those who
revel in surplus wealth. But this
firm has started out on new deal.
Hereafter line of goods never before
exhibited in La Sale county will be
kept constantly on exhibition here.
The house is first in style, first in dis
playing unique, fascinating and i'm
ported patterns, and no production of
the master workmen of the Old
World in this particular department
lace and linens-will be too good
for the patrons of this house. 1t is
only necessary to visit this room, on
the second floor of this dry goods
house, to convince any one that II. j.
Gillen has, in truth, taken step
farther in advance of western mer-
chants. He is alone in this venture
and deserves the universal popularity
he has won.
