no our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter of
judicial publications. tsheriffs sales especial
IVY as neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as to where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to us. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es-
pecially Jealous in the matter of securing
sheriff's sales for the paper of which he is
director and stockholder, and several publica-
tions of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage
are earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
duced TO consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

The muley Stubbs, with his ears
Tapping and his tail high in the air,
led the minority in bolt from the par
ish convention of Ouachita. There is
not much force in the bolt, however, for
the reason that it is quite likely that
Gen, w. T. Theobalds, who was really
the strength of the opposition to the
McEnery ticket, will not take any part
in it, as lie stated in speech, after the
election, that the contest was fair, and
he accepted the result as Democrat.
It is we'll, however, that Stubbs has
bolted, because0after he has dashed
areund for time, he will cool himself

mated without having a spasm.-N. Q.

The Jury term of the District Court
was opened here on Monday last, Judge
E. T. Lewis presiding. At the last
civil term thereof, which opened on
Monday the 28th of Sept. Mr.. Patrick
Donahue who had been living, voting
and standing as a candidate for the
office of Justice of the Peace, who had
served as a juror, filed his petition for
naturalization under act of Congress.
He took the oath of citizenship on
Tuesday OR Wednesday, Sept. 29th or
3th. He had already been received as
a member of the Farmers Alliance in
the Bayou Chieot Ward, and was one
of the lecturers in it. By the With
article of the Constitution of that body,
membership is restricted to citizens.
Mr.. d, was not held to this require.
ment. The Farmers have the right to
disregard their laws. He had run
against Eli Clark for the Office of JUS
tice of the Peace at the general election
of 1888 and had served as petit juror
in an important case although not u
citizen of the United States.
When the Court opened here on Mon
day last Judge Lewis selected and
appointed him Foreman of the present
Grand Jury, in which capacity he is
now acting Other names on the
venire were to be found of citizens to
the manor born, and those too, who
speak both French and English. MIR.
Donahue had been a citizen OF the
United States one month and twenty
four days. Now we think it somewhat
curious that Judge Lewis should select
him in preference to all others on the
venire, several of whom, every one
knows to be fully as competent, and
nearly as handsome. Not that we
envy Mr.. d for his good looks, but We
may be allowed to remark that IT
Judge Lewis conferred the honor upon
him for them, Mr. D was better reward
ed for them, than he had any right to
expect; and If his services as q foreman
Of the Grand Jury, were at all neces-
sary, we suppose we may felicitate
ourselves that he came To this country
and was natufalized as soon as be was.
But for this, St. Landry might, at this
term of our court, have been in the
opinion of Judge Lewis, acith0ut one
aatiUe on the venire, qualified TO con-
duct tho inqnisitorial duties Of the
Grand Jury.
We say it was fortunate for US that
Mr.. d, happened to have been natural
lied 10 time for this Court. Our own
citizens of the native classes should
look to their laurels and emulate the
perseverance of this immigrant son of
the emerald isle and like him not wait
for legal qualifications, but press right
on for honofs in the gift of the Judi
ciary.
Creoles of ST. Landry! stand back
whenever position of trust, Or honor
is to be conferred by Judge Lewis.
Keep him on the bench where he may
serve you again, as he has in this
instance. He prefers 10 honor the
stranger rather than you. one too who
has repeatedly set the law to naught
in the way we have already stated. Ii
is pleasing to see that one who has
disregaided it iii SO many instances,
should be selected by Judge Lewis, to
report the peccadilloes and crimes OF
our native born citizens.

The Louisiana Sun says: "The agi-
taton of the lottery amendment has
done more for the cause of education in
Louisiana than all the sermons and
moral lectures ever delivered upon the
subject. It has had the effect of bring
ing prominently before the people facts
concerning the condition of the public
schools, which shame every patriotic
citizen of the State into action. Few
people would have believed that Louis
lama was actually behind New Mexico
and Arizona in the matter of education,
if the figures had not been given, and
if those figures had not defied refnta-
ton at a time, too, when no stone is
being left untnrned to disproye, or at
least obsure, such disagreeable truths.
The fact that Louisiana is absolutely
last on the list of all the States and
Territories of the union in public
schools would have been denied by
nine -tenths of the people of the State
three months ago. Now nineteen
twentieths of the people of the State
realize that such is the truth, and that
it is the truth is burning shame upon
the State

The New Delta ought to call itself
the True Delta The way it tells the
truth is a caution to Ananias and Sap
phira, and would command the admira-
tion of Munchausen and Mulhatton.
The New Delta is also a fearless jour
nal. It is not afraid to say whatever it
wants to say. For example, it persists
in dividing the delegation from East
Baton Rouge between Adams and Nc
Emery in the proportion of six to four.
It leaves Concordia out of the McEnery
parishes, and says it is "an offset to
East Baton Rouge" The Delta also
puts Lafourche down for its side, in the
face of facts that would make a
monkey blush for shame to assert Sc
bald and bold a claim Thus the New
Delta, aspiring to be known as the
True Delta, seeks fame as a "fearless
and truthful" GENERALIZATION Rouge

Baton Rouge Advocate : The ants
seem to be playing their old tricks
again Last year, while the legisla,
ture was in session, they procured the
arrest of member of that body on a
tfumped up charge bribery in order to
defeat pending legislation, and now, in
tile city of New Orleans, they have
resoted to similar proceedings against
Hon S. O. Shattuck, of Caleasieu, on
precisely the same kind of charge,
in order to affect the primary elections
in that city. If this scheme is mere
factlonal trick, as it seems to be, Attor-
ney General Rogers and the grand jury
ought to blush for shame 10 lending
their influence to it. When a political
party adopts petty trickery it is bad
enough, but when high officials descend
to such course for partisan ends it is
simply disgraceful.
