No! You Are Not True.

The politicians have but one thing in
view at present. and their only argument
OF reason to any question that arises is
Democracy and White Supremacy.
These words indeed are sublime if they
were expressed by persons of intact pur-
ity; but they are blasphemOus when ex-
pressed by persons of the OccasiOnl per-
sons of diversified principles !.
Can persons who are yet under the
shade of the negro they have used for
personal interest against democracy
and white supremacy in the past, be sin
cere in their expressions Of to-day?
When the negro is out If politics?
Would they be there. if the negro ex-
ercised his political influence? No! we
think not. We have no faith in such
sudden conversions. they are not sincere,
and our people know it. They have
sinned. they are sinners, and can only
repent for their sins, and then come in
the white ranks, ask forgiveness and
promise to sin no more. and follow the
peOple-DemOcrats and white men-bnt
they should walk i'm these lines with
their heads bent and their hands crossed
on their blossoms and in fervent prayers
thank the white democrats to have ad-
mittpd them in these ranks.
But they have no right to cry at every
corner, on every roof, democracy and
rhite supremacy for those who have
never affiliated with the negro will
point their fingers at them and say, No!
No! You are not sincere, these are not
your principles. We know you, we
know your past. we know what you have
done, your past is recorded and will al
ways float to the surface and be in your
path and haunt you like the devil do the
sinner.
Be quiet. be humble sinner, beg and
you shall be forgiven. but do not COM
mand and preach doctrine which you
have not always followed, which yOu
have betrayed, for the people will point
at you with scorn and say: No! No! you
are not sincere, you are not true!

A Candidate With a Record.
st. Martinville, August 1, 1891

Mr.. Editor
Appreciating the business Of the re-
marks in the following extract. of the
issue of you< paper of July 81. which
reads this;
politicians, as a rule, never refe: back
to their past, they always speak of the
grand and glorious victory ahead Of
them and what they will do when in
power-the same old thing ALI for No I"
And although do not claim to be q
politician, yet being candidate for
Sheriff of the parish and recognizing the
right of the voters to know what Is the
past political record Of those who aspire
to Office within their gift. respectfully
ask you to publish the following:
That since the year 1865. that is since
my first vote, | have always voted the
Democratic ticket.
That have never held Office under
any republican administration.
That have always opposed all com
promises with the republican party, in
selecting parish and municipal candi-
dates.
That have never been even the depu-
ty Of any republican officer.
That have refused the appointment
of the cOllectOrship under the admins
tration of Gov. VIM. P. Kellogg. rendered
TO me through the then two representa-
tives of this parish. my reasons for this
refusal was that did not want to hold
a commission under an administration
antagonistical to the interest as we'll as
to the sentiment of the white people of
Louisiana. Respectfully.

If the Breaux Bridge Union NEEDLE
in local politics, and not consult the
bosses on what 1t writes, that paper will
soon find out that it is a Republican
sheet. Be careful, friend Union, if you
wants to preserve your Democracy.
There are some of our people who
are just glOrifying themselves for the
work done by the Regulators, because
they belonged to the organization, and
want to take all the credit for them
selves, but the others who want a little
of that credit are also pulling for their
share of the work, and it appears that
some of those who claim the biggest part
of it did the smallest work. if any at all.
And by claiming too big piece we
might learn that they are not entitled
to any of it. Now comes the tug-Of-wa
each one pulling for himself, and those
who will be left, or fooled will surely
tell what he knows of the others, which
will not be pleasant for them TO hear,
but will be amusing to tine public.

In reading the Profession de fol of Mr..

sheriff of this parish. was startled by
the following: Unlike some Renegddes
of my race, l never forgot that l had
Master Blood in my reins. and have ne
yer courted his Black Majesty for his
vote. Will the gentleman be kind
enough to inform us against whom is
directed that Parthian Shot, are we to
infer from his insinuatiOns, that some of
our soi-disant pure and immaculate De-
mOcrats, have SO far forgotten them
selves us to have recOu rse to such DAM
mable acts for the sake of an office?
Let the gentleman enlighten us on the
subject, the people In the past few
months. have heard so much about
White Supremacy. Pure Democrats,
Half Breeds ETC., that few words from
the gentleman would enable them to
define the status of their own political
complexion. Wishing the gentleman
success in his candidacy. Yours,

1t Means Nothing of the Kind.

The Reveille in its last issue had an
article treating on RegulatOrism and
says that Regulatorism means 'tlemocra-
cy and white supremacy. 1t means
nothing of the kind, the white people of
this country could have eliminated the
negro out Of politics without the use of
the Regulators il those who now pro-
claim so loud Democracy and White
Supremacy were not helping the negro
to remain in power. The Regulator
organization came into existence be-
cause those politicians thought by in
augurating crusade against the poor
negro, they would be able to keep the
white people organized and under their
immediate control, by forcing them to
sign Iron clad oaths" to support per-
sons as candidate who they would not
support otherwise. Is this not crime
perpetrated on the ignorant and unsus-
pecting, and an insult to the white peO-
pie Of this parish. Is the force bill''
anything to be compared to this? Can
those individuals pretend to say that
those who did not follow them and be
their willing tools are not good white
manp DO they intend to say that men
who are whittier and purer than they are
not good white men because they did
not want to join the Regulators to COLL
nit lawlessness and ruin the good name
and commerce of our parish; because
few unscrupulOus politicians were try
ing with the cry Of "suppressing negro
rule," to drive the people into an organ
izatiOn to use them for their own benefit

A YuEaan Enterprise

Judge E. NJ. Sanford, the general manager of the Yuma Pumping and Irrigation company, accom- panied by J. H. Carpenter, super intendent, came in from Yuma Sunday on important business connected with the aforesaid en- terprise. Among their transactions here may be named the purchase und shipment to Yuma of a car load of mules, one of hay and one of rolled barley.
 The pumping scheme inaugur- ated by these gentlemen whereby many thousand acres of desert will soon be under cultivation, has proved perfect success, and pre- parations are now being made to put in one hundred acres of vege- tables which Will be ready for market during January and Feb ruary. The company has also given contract for the planting of 300 acres of fruit trees, one-half of the acreage to be citrus fruits and the rest in variety of fruit, such as apple, pear, pomegranate and others.
 Harry Carpenter will undoubt- edly score success, and his great number of friends and acquaint- ances in this valley are glad to know it.-Pboenix Republican.
