The Parish Print lg.

he last Issue of the St. Landry Cla-
ron contains a brief statement of the
te9at aspects of the case of the parish
printing and the annuliDg by the Police
jury OF Its contract with us. We have
already given our readers fair and
candid statement of all the facts of the
case-no portion of which statement
the Clallon attempts to deny--and we
confidently leave it to the people to pass
Judgment upon it as now made up.
But the Clarion confines itself strictly
to the t"J0l aspects of the case-the dis
cusslon OF its moral aspects appears to
have no charms for it. And yet that
paper SETS itself up as the exponent of
the best moral sentiment of the COM
munIty, arrogating to itself and to those
who agree with its peculiar views on
the lottery question all the morality
and virtue in the town and parish.
Two facts may account for this omis-
sion. One is that on the score of NOR
alily the action of the bare majority of
a scant quorum of the Police Jury is
utterly indefensiblc. The other is that
with gleat many antis, the domain of
morality begins and ends with the lot
terry question.
But the Clarion appears to be in pos
session of some information which is
news to us. 1t saws that in October,
1SSS-in October, 1888, mind you, thus
into smithereens the contcn-
ton of Sheriff Fonteuot, upon which
the jury acted, that the yearly contract
began on January 1St-it says, we re-
Oeat, that If October, 1888, when !. w. ,
Jackson, fol 'e DEMoCRAT, and L. & !
L. A. Sandoz, f, the Courier, proposed |
o do the parish printing in both papers
or $3.50 year, the July unwiliugly |
the propositiou.' Now, we |
lever heard of that before; and mas |
much as the parish printing had been !
lone in only one paper for the eight |
preceding yeaIs at the same salary of
$3.50 per year, we cannot see why the
ury should have been at all unwilling
0 accept much more favorable propo-
ition, and must be permitted to doubt
he correctness of the information thus
Incidentally and apparently soinuocent-
Y vouchsafed.

Acadia SentlAcl.

ACau IA SentlAcl.
The mandamus suit against the Sec
retary of State, brought by Mr.. John A.
Morris, to force that official to promul-
gate the lottery amendment passed by
the last legislature, has been decided by
Judge Geo. W. Buckner at Baton Rouge.
Judge Buckner's decision was a strange
one. No excuse. No law points. No
explanation. Mandamus Refused,
was the verdict handed in last Monday.
Mr.. Buckner's decision contains foun-
dation for two serious suppositlons, one
of which is that he was ashamed to
cite the law for fear of a contradiction of
the pointed facts and the constitution.
Another was that be feared the ants
would censure his decision, claiming
that he had sold out.
1t is characteristic of the antis to be
revolutionary. They want to wipe out
every man and every thought not in ac-
cord with their unstrung instrument by
which they seek to play themselves into
office. The honor of the State is an old
fad, and fails to find the support at first
thought of: Then they want to
shoulder their $25 shot guns in favor of
their pet scheme and kill out their fell
low beings for having an opinion. But
Ohho hiC StAh OS Pitty GU oH UUGLl SlutS,
and this killing business is not spread
over with cream and sugar. 1t sounds
patriotic to hear-of fellow wanting to
die for his country and pay two-bits for
the chance; but we never saw one in
our whole life who wanted to die for his
country near as bad as he wanted to
live for himself.
We are not hunting for war nor would
we like to scent the battle from afar-
but we want peace and fair discussion
of questions affecting the vital interests
OF Louisiana's future welfare and rest
the, matter with the people. The Off
cials who cannot afford to trust the peo-
pie must be swelled with bull-frog i'm
portance in their own eyes. II the peo-
pie. have not the right to shape the des-
times of this government, we are ex-
-remely anxious to know it the antis
1ave been delegated by the Supreme
Power to take charge of this end of the |
string. The Supreme Court will soon
pass upon the matter, and it will be our
line to rejoice,

TIE Fl g y Moral p os amme.

A pecularity about the mode of ar
gument employed by most of the writ
ers for the anti-lotte,y press is that they
uniformly and studiousIy ignore the
fact that very large proportion of
the white people o. Louisiana-peope
WHO want no Office and have no conuec-
tl0n WITH or interest in the LOTTERY
compaDy-fayor the adoption OF the
revenue amendment; favor it simply
and solely because of the fact that thew
discern in it the means whe, ebv the
schools may be improved and their
tel ms heightened, the levees maintain
ed aud large and fel tile areas le-
| claimed, tue hospitals aud asyIums ade-
quateIy supported, the drainage OF our
great metropolis accomplished, a de-
| cent provision made for the men who,
over quarter OF century ago, molly
risaed their lives and suffered untold
plivatlons for the sake Of the State on
the battle-ields of the great civil war,
and the public debt reduceG-and
all that, too, withOu, a.ty Increase IN tar
diiOn. These writer's are neither fair
nor hoDest. They would have their
readers believe that all who differ with
them on this subject are scoundrels and
knaves. They never neglect an
opportunity to throw discledit upon
their efforts to show the people wherein
their interests demand the adoption of
the amendment; they never tire heap
ing obloquy and contumely upon them.
In word, they, who pose as high NOR
alists, lack the very essence of morality
sincerity and charity. For they know
that among the advocates of this propo-
sition are many men Of irreprocllable
public and private character; men who
love their State and whose every inter-
est is ultimately bound up in its well
fare and prosperity; men who would
scorn to do or advise their fellows to do
a mean or discreditable action. But it
is part Of their programme of bluster,
bravado, Misrepresentation and mud
singing to attempt to cast odium upon
the proposition and upon every one |
who favors it, in the hope of frighten-
ing away from its support l-meaning
people who have not carefully examined |
the matter in all its aspects. But we
say to these writers, many of whom are
able men and trained debaters- adopts
lu the arts of sophistry and cajolery-
that they cannot deceive the masses of
the people on this subject. Just so sure
as the sun shines, the light OF truth will
pierce through the clouds of misrepre-
sentation that they so iDgeniously en-
deayor to throw around this question,
and they will in the end be covered
with humiliation and confusion.

the comparatively small plumber pres

cessful termination. We understand
that over $500 were realized.
