Height of Cruelty.

Nervous women seldom receive the
sympathy they deserve. While often the
pictures of health, they are constantly
ailing. To withhold sympathy from
these unfOrtinates is The height of cruel
ty. They have a weak heart. causing
shortness OF breath, fluttering. pain in
side, weak ami hungry spells. and finally
swelling Of ankles. oppression, checking,
smOthering and drOpsy. DR.. Miles New
Heart Cure is just the thing for them.

ness, etc, his Restorative Nervine is un-
equaled. Fine treatise On "IIeart and
Nervous Diseases" and marvellous testi-
mOnials free. Sold at T. J. Liable.

The Republicans Devided.

The State Central Executive RepubIi-
can committee held a meeting In New
Orleans that was far from being harmO-
NOUS; there was tumuIt fOurishing of
revOlvers and some tisticuffs which caus-
ed the committee to split. Kellogg was
at the head Of one faction and WarmOth
at the head Of the other.
The Kellogg faction has fixed January
IS. as tie day to hold their State con
yentiun, and tho Warmoth faction will
hold their state nominating convention
Oh the third Wednesday in February.
The Warmoth faction has passed anti
lottery resolutions.

Yielded Once.

We were really amused in reading the
report Of the McEncry convention w.ren
we arrived atthe following paragraph:
Felix VOORHEES, of st. Martin. also Sc
c0nded the Mnpinotion. As creole,
and OIfdbellalf0fthec reOles Of st Martin,
he seconded the nomination of the noble
son Of Ouach,ta. lie spoke Of the CreOles
because proud Of his Creole descent. and
believed no nobler people existed.
They have never yielded in their fealty
to the Democratic party, and have al
ways fought nobiy for white supremacy
and civilization. Republicanism has
been stamped on; Of st. Martin. and af-
ter April all that can be found II the
ants and the alliance will be what was
left Of the Kilkenny cats"
The gentleman il certainly right, the
mass OF the CreOles have never yielded in
their fealty TO the Democratic party, but
We must admit that once in while
some of them have taken the wrong
path. and have been made the victim of
their embi;ion, we know several OF
them in This parish. and we believe that
the gentleman who e!Oguently spoke the
above words has once strayed from the
Democratic flock. and there il wide
difference between the situation he Oc-
cupies now as a Democratic delegate in
a Democratic convention aud the one he
occupied four years ago as Democrat
in a Republican convention. thanking
them for having elected him as their
choice for District Attorney. against the
regular nominee Of the Democracy of st.
Martin parish.
The gentleman should not speak of Re-
publicanism and Democratic fealty or he
might compromise some one.

THE ANTI PLATFORM,
The Democracy Of the State Of Louisi

the Democratic party which form the
foundation Of free government aud
the safeguard of the liberties Of the peO-
pie.
They congratulate the Democrats Of

leagues i'm office, the finances Of the
State have been restored to a sound basis
and there is an accumulation of 100000
In the treasury. The parish debts have
been largely reduced and, i'm many in
