OUR STATESMEN

An interesting incident has presented
itself in our local politics, the candidates
OIL the ticket known as the administra-
tion, feeling their weakness and proba-
BILE defeat at hearing of an opposition
ticket, issued card, refusing their
names to be put OH no other ticket. and
stating that if any of these candidates
were endorsed by the opposition, they
would refuse to serve as trustees, and
will resign.
These innocent statesmen are contra
ry to Hon. Joseph A. Breaux, who now
adOrns the Supreme Bench of Louisiana.
when he was, In 1888. candidates for Su-
perintendent of Public Education, he
was endorsed by the Republican party,
which party is composed mostly OF he
grOes. he did certainly not put himself
in the ridiculous position as to refuse
those people to vote for him, il they saw
fit to do so.
Those gentlemen should know first,
that the opposition is composed OF White
men as pure in their democracy as they
are, and the candidates of the opposition
are just as honorable as they are, there
fore this card is a contempt for all the
white people who refuse to follow them,
are we not free American citizens, and
have we not the right to endorse and
vote for any candidate, without con-
sul,ing him, are those candidates to Sc
lect those whom they want to vote for
them and those they do not want to cast
their ballot for them?
Are those candidates ignorant of the
fact that when they accept the candida
cy for public Office they become public
property, and their worth is estimated
according to the bid the public put on
them-the ballot; are they not aware
that as candidates they are the target OF
criticism, and that the public in the To-
cality in which they aspire to Office are
the sole Judge of their fitness and unfit
ness for office.
Well, be it as it may, the people arr
the mighty power, and we have no dOub
that they will speak on Monday next
and vote for the candidates Of thei
choice: W. A. Bienvenu, A. Y. Fleming
Ben Bertrand, and j. II. Bienvenu an,
NJ. l.. Broussard. We shall elect j. Il
Bienyenu and NJ. l.. Broussard, who ar
on the so called regular ticket, becaus
we know they are good men, and at tn
same time to give them a chance to rt
sign?

OUR PLATFORM.

That the Police officer be given a fixed
salary, 10 division of the fines.
That the fines be imposed by the Ma
yor in due course of law, and according
to the gravity of the Offense, and that
the fines 60 to the town exchequer.
That the Mayor nominates assistants
to replace the regular Police Ofiieier
when he absent himself from town.
That the Mayor only has right to I'M
pose fines for any violations of police
ordinances.
That we are satisfied with the present
secretary, and we urge that he be re-
tanned to his present position.
The above is the reform we propose
and is the reform the people demand
and We will not be surprised to hear the
present administration promise to MAKE
the same reform as proposed by us, bu
they have thus far failed to inaugurate it

No Dual Citizenship.

A number of leading Italians Of New
York, Chicago, San Francisco and Philas
delphia who are naturaized citizens q
the United States, now that the furious
row that they kicked up over the killing
of the Hennessey murderers has cubsid'
cd, are beginning to realize that their
wild appeals for the intervention of ita'
ly against the government OF the United
States and especially the people of this
city, lave placed them in a very unfa'
yorable light before the American peo-
pie, and has aroused in the minis q very
serious doubt whether foreigners who
have renOubced allegiance to the land
of their birth, and sworn allegiance tS
this government. forswear that allegi.
ance as the Italians have done by urgs
ing the government of the land OF their
birth to hold to strict account the 60.
vernment of the land of their adoption.
should be longer permitted to enjoy the
rights of American citizenship.
Quite q humber OF journals OF the
North which at first condemned the peO.
pie of New Orleans for their action In
lynching the men who escaped punish-
ment at the hands Of the law. are now
making it quite clear that such a thing
as a dual citizenship cannot exist In
this country. and that there is no such
right as the right Of an Italo-Amefican.
and that man Of Italian birth resident
in this country has to be either an Ita.
lian or an American. Italians, il they
have never been naturalized and assuni.

lean citizenship. and Americans if they
have. Dual citizenship exists nowhere

As man whose Democracy is as pure

you in your article al the 2Sth inst. re-
Iative TO the mass meeting which assem-
bled in this town and selected candidates
for town trustees.
It is a fact that the assembly or con-
vention which met at Breaux Bridge,
and appointed Parish Executive Com
mittea, had no right to do so, as said
meeting or convention was called for a
specific OF special purpose, and that was
to select delegates to the congressional
convention, and nothing else. II said
convention saw fit to exceed its powers
and appoint a Parish Executive Commit
tee, regardless of all precedence in such
matters, the Democrats Of the Parish are
in no wise bound to abide by any action
call or convention made by said commit:
tee, as we consider the same as being
null, and have right to protest against
their action, therefore, l hope that th'
good and pure Democrats of the tow
will rise in masse on the 9th Of Apri
and vote for the ticket presented tothen
by the citizens in your Issue of tho 2stl
inst, as being composed (ne deplaise ]

1883 when our candidates were buying
even negro votes? But there was a big
difference between 1883 aud now, the
difference is that the offices they were

LIST OF LETTERS.

| On Monday evening Francis Wilson
and Company began return engagement
of two weeks at the Chicago Opera House
the successful operetta which has been
SO popular this season, entitled: ''The
Merry Monarch The opera is given
with the complete cast, as it was on the
occasion of its original production in New
York, with Miss Marie Jansen as the ped
dler Of perfumery, Lazuli; Miss Laura
Moore as the Princess; Miss Nettie Ly
ford as Aloes; Mr. Charles Plunkett as
Siroco, the royal astrologer; Mr. Gilbert
CLAYTON as the ambassador, Horissen: !;
Mr.. Willet Seeman as Tapioca; Mr.. Hub
bard Smith as Kedas, Chief Of Police;
Mr.. Wilson as the merry Monarch
and Signei De Novellis in the musical
conductors chair. Certainly as means
Of merriment. 1.-The Merry Monarch" has
never had an equal, and those who want
to find good, healthy fun in their theatre
any further than this remarkable perform
ance of Mr.. Wilson's But not only is it
replete with the most humorous situations
and dialogue but the scenic embellish
ments are of such an artistic and elabor
ate character that the opera is as pleas
ing to the eye as it is to the ear and under
standing.
The beautiful scenery furnished by Mr..
Henry E. Hoyt, has never been surpassed
in any other comic opera representation
given in this country, while the costum-
ing represents an outlay of much more
money than it is the custom TO lavish up
on anything short of a great spectacle.
During this company's stay at the Chica-
go Opera House, there will be no Sunday
evening nor Wednesday matinee perform
ances.

And thus to live And thus to die,
Dead hero, sherman, would that
Might from the pattern Of thy life,
Learn how TO conquer in the strife
The rough world wages 'gainSt all men
From birth until they're born again.
Thy walk thro' life, as all men know,
Was steady, sturdy-pure rs SHOW;
Armies Of men rejoiced to be
With Sherman, Marching to the sea.
A mighty nation wept with Joy
Ger victories of her-s0ldaer bog.
And would have given thee, warrior grand.
The greatest gift within the land:
But thou-more modest. cen, than brave.
Desired naught save a soldiers grave,
Peacemaker, thou: and God hath said:
Such shall be blessed and 'Comforted:'
Ergo, we mourn, but do not weep;
Sleep with thy God, in comfort, sleep.
Men grown great thrO' labors grand,
Are jewels POLISHED by tn masters hand:
And thou, dead hero Of renown,
Art jewel worthy any crown.
