Light Is Breaking.

The Republican party has elected its
last president. The Democratic party
will never elect another candidate.
The people are aroused.
The Populist cause is in the saddle
and will be the next great party. The
cause of the masses must have defend
Ell if we hope to perpetuate the republic.
The Democratic leaders are chained to
plutocracy, and there is nothing to hope
for from that party.
The same is true of the Republican
party.
The rank and file of both old parties
are honest and well meaning, and sym
pathize with the people.
Ignorance, prejudice and party favor
itism have kept them in darkness.
The light is breaking. Another four
years Of education and the common
people will begin to understand that
they are the power and that they are the
people in shape to direct government,
and not the few who represent the
money power.-Denver Road.

Now for Fakes.

Now watch and see if the Democrats
Will not be too cowardly to carry out the
free trade demands Of their platform.
The upshot of the business will be the
selection of Commission" to devise a
plan. Whenever the politicians are too
ignorant or too cowardly to decide a
measure they refer it to commission.
The commission meets with big -four
ish and makes a report. That ends the
matter, and the people pay the bills, and
big ones at that.-National Advance.

This insect has been spreading south
ward since 1882, but has not extended
its work to the west as rapidly as might
have been expected. Nothing in way of
remedies appears to have been discov-
cred Of late years. Where the stubble
can be burned during the winter the
numbers Of the insect can be greatly re-
duced, but blowing under during May,
although this necessitates &ome loss,
is recommended by the entomologists
who have investigated the matter as
the most ehcacious remedy.

Education Is the Thing.

That there is bitter with every sweet

gained without effort; therefore, if res
form principles are ever enacted into
laws, we must work to that end; we

make sacrifices till we win. We must

AS estimated in a bulletin of the Mich
igan station, the annual loss to the grain
crop of that state by smut is upward of
100000. This includes the loss from
the shrinking smut of wheat and the
loose smut of oats, and in fact all the
smut fungi that attacks the Cereals.
According to the bulletin, this heavy
loss could be largely reduced, if rot en-
tirely prevented, if the farmers would
adopt the Jansen or hot water method.
The work is simple and inexpensive.
The wheat seed before planting should
be kept in hot water heated to 1874 dogs.
Fahrenheit for ten minutes. The water
must be kept to this temperature during
the soaking. Oats require a higher
temperature to kill the smut spores.
The seed should be dipped in water heat
ed to 139 or 140 dogs. Fahrenheit and
should be soaked for ten minutes.

An AYRSHIRE Sire.

The Ayrshire is acknowledged to be
queen of the cheese COWS. Good speci-
mems of the breed produce as high as
forty quarts of milk day sometimes.
In some parts Of Scotland they are the
main dependence as milk COWS for city
customers. In the hilly regions of New
England they thrive well and are also
highly priced as dairy cattle. The but
ter from Ayrshire milk needs artificial
coloring to sell well in market. Con

corning the butter making qualities Of
this breed there is some dispute. En-
thusiastic breeders declare the butter is
first class, abundant and brings high
price in market. AS to this we do not
decide.
In districts where oxen are used the
steers of this family make excellent
working animals. The picture shows a
male at the head of one Of the best Ayr
shire herds in the country. The typical
Ayrshire color is clark red, rich brown
or mahogany, running almost into a
black, sometimes broken, blotched and
spotted with white"

THE GOOD ROAD HORSE.
Some Points for Farmers About His Breed
ing and Education.

A good road horse should have size,
beauty, pleasant, cheerful disposition,
good free action, both in walking and
trotting; should be pure gated, SO as to
require neither boots nor toe weights;
should be free from blemish, and last,
but by no means least, should be well
broken and educated. All the former
requirements can be bred-in fact must
be bred; but the education, without
which all else is naught, can be added
by the practical farmer in more thor
orph manner and at much less expense

Anew IBERIA special to the Times.De

lowing:
This evening at o'clock a shooting
affair occurred on Main street, in front
of Webb's saloon, between Louis Stafford
on one side and John Davis and Emile
Gar8ns on the other. in which Stafford
was wounded in the side in two places.
He was removed TO a room i'm the rear
OF the saloon, and Drs. Wolf and Bur-
CESS quickly summoned, who pronounce
ed his wounds dangerous. A dying de-
claratiOn was taken by Justice of the
Peace Gayle, who was seen by The
Times Democrat correspondent. Stat
ford in his declaration says. Jack Da.
Wis and were in Webb's saloon, where
Davis offered to treat me. refused and
subsequently offered to treat Davis and
he refused. This caused row and Da-
Wis pulled his pistol, and l asked him to
give me fair show, and Davis put his
pistol Ia his pocket and we went out
side, where the trouble was renewed and
Davis and began to shoot. While We
were engaged in the duel was shot in
the left side, and on looking around saw
Emile Garans standing in the middle of
the street shooting at me, but l did not
return his fire, continuing to shoot at
Davis.
After Stafford had signed this declar-
alton he remarked that he did not think
that Davis hit him. although Davis
claims to have shot him and in self DE-
tense. At this writing Stafford is still
alive, but Is kept under the influence OF
opiates. His wife and children were
brought to him. and the scene upon her
arrival was very affecting. Stafford

On Wednesday last, about noon,
Nh. H. c. CRUDE, accompanied by
his son Fred, called at the house
of ill-fame of Claude Stone to col
lect a bill due him for work done
for her. The woman disputed the
correctness of the bill and became
abusive and finally brought out a
revolver, ordering Mr.. CRUDE to
leave and threatening to shoot
him. Upon his making some re-
mark that were she a man he
would know how to deal with her,
Mr.. Louis Stafford, who was in an
ad joining room, came out saying
that he was a man and at the same
time seized the revolver from the
hands of the woman. Mr.. CRUDE
and his son retreated, the latter
closing the door behind him, when
a pistol shot rang out, the ball
passing through the door. grazing
the side of the head of young CIR
ube and inficting slight flesh
wound in the arm of the elder Mr..
CRUDE. An affidavit was sworn
out before Justice Dubus against
Stafford and the woman Claude,
and after a preliminary trial, the
pair went before Jude Mouton at
st. Martinville and had their bond
fixed at $3.50. Mr.. CRUDE insists
that Stafford did the shooting,
while the woman claims the credit
of the deed. The establishment
of such places is an additional
source of crime and debauchery.

Down To Work.

The new administration will get

nor Foster will lose no time in
getting matters into shape to give
the people that honest administra-
ton of public affairs which he
promised they should have. He
was elected on the promise of an
honest, fair and economic admin
istration, and from what is known
OF the gallant champion of the
anti-lottery cause, he will give to
the people the best government
possible with the means at his
command.
Gov. Foster will have to guard
carefully against fanatical parti-
san and imbecile Legislation, which
is already cropping out in the
general assembly. If he keeps
his eyes wild open and carefully
studies every bill as it comes
through the Legislative bodies, he
will be fully posted as to their
meaning and intent and by a judi
cious use of the veto power will
be able to guard against danger
Gus legislation, which is to be
feared ever more than maladmin-
istration itself.
Then again Gov. Foster will
soon be called upon to make ap-
pointments, and in doing so, he
would do we'll to look carefully
into the personal fitness of each
applicant, and see that none are
appointed against whom anything
may be urged afterwards. There
are many Offices which he is to
fill. He should chose only the

who will do their duty and make
his administration a clean and
honest affair in every respect

Let it be Investigated.

We publish in this issue an ar
ticle entitled "a Case for Impeach-
ment" which exposes some very
crooked dealings that have occur
ed in the Office of A. V. Fournet,
Clerk of Court for St. Martin par
ish. The facts in the accusation
are we'll supported and substan-
tiated, and reveal q revolving and
malicious case of malfeasance in
Office.
The accusation shows out that
certain papers dessolving the in
junction taken on the Secretary of
State, by Gardemal, in the suit of
Cab. Gardemal VS. David Rees,
were deposited in that office on
the 9TH Of the present month, that
those papers were presented to
Judge j. E. Mouton who granted
an order for the dissolution of the
injunction, and that the Clerk &C.
cepted the bond on the same day.
The deposition of the documents
in that office and the acceptance
of the bond by the Clerk, are
facts that the papers were in his
ofhclal possession, and then,
should have been filed with the
other papers in that suit, and to
remain in the Clerks Office, for
the moment any legal or judicial
papers enter that offices they be-
come the property of the public,
and the Clerk the custodian of
same. Their abstraction is a ma
licious act that demand immedi-
ate suspension.
That the documents in the suit
mentioned in the foregoing dis
appeared from the Office is sub
stantiated by an official and legal
proof, certificate bearing the
seal of the Clerks Office, signed
by the Chief Deputy Clerk on the
IL inst, that none of the papers
dessolving the injunction were in
the office on that day, when the
face of the papers now show that
they received the seal of that Of
fee on the Z of May, and that they
were brought back to the Office
and filed with the other papers of
said suit only in the afternoon of
the II inst, 10 days after, or when
the time to take a suspensive ap-
peal had expired.
Does it not look as if those pa.
pers were removed from the
Clerks Office to deprive Gardemal
of his right and privilege to take
an appeal? Does it not look that
the sworn officer, the guardian,
and custodian of public records
and property used his power to
abstract and take away public pa
pers to the prejudice and injury
of a citizen? Is this not endan-
gering the interests of all those
who may engage in litigation,
as the documents that concern
them may disappear like those in
the suit of Gardemal vs. Rees?
This affair seems to us to be of
q very grave nature, and should
be investigated, and if the charges
which seem we'll grounded are
proven before court of justice,
we have no doubt that the Clerk
will be impeached. We demand
an investigation from the legal
authorities; if such is not made
by the authorities, we shall lay
the blame where it belongs.
