One of the latest rumors, of political
import that have reached US, is the as
sertIon that in certain cenrers the real
causes ofthe Lafayette Combine have
leaked out.
Their pnrport is that the dicker was
one of literary purpose rather thar 10
favor of moral and political reform lt
appears that those interested In the
financial success of the New eliza and
of the Farmers Vidette Joined hands
and agreed that each side would en-
deavor its best to have both papers
successfully circulated among all their
faithful. The anti leaders were to Sc
! cure subscribers and patrons in their
ranks for the Farmers Fidette and the
farmer chieftains were to return the
cOmplimenttO the Delta. The two De-
come the heralds Of the New-Party
and the oracular trumpets of the pro-
phets of the Lafayette amalgamation.
We are ready to believe almost any
thing in relation to the anti farmers
compact. Having had it deeply i'm
p: essed upon our minds that its crea-
lures and supporters were after Doodle
| and Doodle alone, We are somewhat IN
cIined to welcome this unOr as nav
ing somewhat the semblance of truth.
Politically, we never could see any
reason for the Lafay cite result /; its
followers and general element were
too diversified and too opposed in
views aud interests. Now, If it was
only a matter of forwarding the pecu-
mary needs of a few shining lights
amongst the farmers and the ants.
we can understand how the leaders
gulled the unthinking masses into rati-
tying their little clever financial
scheme.
Said scheme, however, has not work
ed as expected, .. least not for the an
ii side of the combine, for according to
all appearances the Delta people have
been siyly kicking for ON time, and
seeing that their hints were not under
stood they have come out openly and
are now using all their efforts to dis
solve the partnership.
As a rule literature and financial
prosperity are never met in the same
boat.-(St. Martinville Reveillo.1

QUEER TALK.

Soon after the result % the primary
election in New Orleans became known
here. some of the Ants h~creabouIs be-
came very violent and used language
which, coming from Democratic lips.
was. to say the least extraordinary
There was some wild and incollerent
,alk of joining forces with the Re
publicans in order to whip ont the lot
terry and its adherents, and rid the
country of the so-oalled brooding octo-
pus.
We made no mention of the incl
dents at the time, thinking that the
expressions used were but the spon-
taneous utterances of sore disap-
pointment, and that, on second
thought. oar brethren would view the
MATTER more philosophically and re
eognize the folly of burning down the
house to destroy the vermin they
imagine they have discovered in it.
But lately we have heard of further
Indulgence in some pretty queer talk
by mel who call themselves, and who
have hitherto been known as, Demo
Gratis. Some talk of prefering to cast
a vote for Il Republican rather than fol
Judge McEnery, even if the latter were
nominated.
What does such language mean ?
Does it fore-shadow a coming bol5 in
the convention, should the Auti-Mc
Emery men be in the minority, and a
subsequent alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, of the ants with the old Re
publican foe ? Does it mean that one
faction of the Democratic party in this
State is so bent upon ruling, even
though it be in the minority, and so
longs Tor the loaves aud fishes OF office,
that it stands ready to betray the
birthright Of the people and sacrifice
the present and mortgage the future,
rather than not to accomplish their de
sires ? Does it signify that there are
some men who are so-head-strong and
selfish in their prejudices that rather
than not to achieve their ends they

1t is hard to conceive of the exis-

But we have confidence in the pa

believe there are leaders in both of the
~contending factions who hold their
Democracy and their love of country
above all other considerations and
when these meet at Baton Rouge fol

their heads together and devise some
modus rirendi by which the present

Foreign Lottery Sympathy.

The Louisiana Lottery is not the on
~ o doing business in the United
States, and the people of Louisiana
would do we'll to scrutinize the sym
patty and advice that is so freely Civ
en- them from outside sources lest it be
given in the interest of the Mexican.
the Havana or some either foreign lot
terry company. People are not given
to interfering In the politics OF other
states without some motive, and the
only interest they could have in this
case would be in the stock of some riv-
al company whose business would be
greatly augmented by the annihilation
of the Louisiana company. 1t has
been freely charged that many of the
nos prominent anti-lottery agitatoIs
In New York and other eastern cities
are large holders of Mexican and other
lottery stocks, and these charges have
been only partially denied. There
can hardly be any doubt that most of
tue foreign opposition to the Louisiana
Lottery comes from the agents and
stockholders vi tlese other companies.
Ihes companies will continue To do
business whether the Louisiana Lot
terry survives or not, but they will take
thousands of dollars out of Louisiana
instead of bringing millions in az the
home lottery will do, aud the people of
L"u-siara SHOULD o allow themselves
to be made the tools of these foreign
concerns to the detriment of their own
Interest.
