St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1892-05-07

The St. James Courier, speaking of
the election of Foster, says:
This shows that under our present
election law, it is the simplest thing in
the world for an administration to per-
petuate itself in power.
The election law was concocted un-
der the McEnery regime, probably for
that purpose. Even with the ability
and skill of Burke, Houston and nu-
merous other experienced politicians,
his administration could not be per-
petuated, because the Democratic par
ty was against it.
The Fitzpatrick politicians helped
defeat McEnery four years ago, and
were themselves defeated in the city
election. In the present campaign
they helped McEnery, who has been
defeated, but they themselves have
succeeded.
The legislature that went in with
Nichols turned out to be tWO-thlrdS
for the lottery.
McEnery was not reelected, though
legislature of his kind came in with
Nichols = Nichols has not been re-
elected, but an anti-lottery legislature
has.
The facts therefore do not show that
"it is the simplest thing in the world
for an administration to perpetuate it.
self in power" even under the McEn-
cry election law which the lottery
legislature under Nichols failed to re-
peal or modify. The Nichols admin
istration is not responsible for that
law and the denunciation of it by the
McEneryites, is suggestive of the bird
that befouled its own nest.

John N. Ogden, Esq, will devote his
entire attention to the practice of civ
il and criminal law. His experience
during the past eight years, as district
attorney, should make him very prof.
cient in criminal practice; and those
who are so unfortunate as to be defen-
dants in criminal suits, might find it
to their interest to consult him.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1892-05-07

The returns show that the Republi-
cans had no more chance than the Nc
Eneryites. There was, therefore, no
danger of negro supremacy from Re
publican success.-Natchitoches Re
view.
That is a post-facto admission, by a
McEnery paper; and the same paper
wants the Foster legislature to revise
the McEnery election laws, which the
lottery legislature under Nichols fail
ed to do.

men and WOMEN

Many men and women who a short time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of iron marvel
at Their feeling of exhaustion and total lack
of interest in their business affairs. They
are Overpowered by sense of lassitude,
languOr and dullness. Their vauntsd
strength and self control seem to have left
them when most needed; already they have
experienced lack of old time vigOr, a GER
tain lack of cOnfiden ,e, and nervous appre-
hensiOn instead of the old courage; con-
slant feeling of las itude and waning am
bitten: their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusterlesS, they are haunted with mel
ancholy and frequently have the "blues;"
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
aud night bv night; they are easily diScOur-

The third party is not making
ground outside of Texas, and it Is
doubtful if they are gaining in this
state. The South has repudisted it In
the most unmistakable manner, it
has no hold on the East and it's vic
tories in the West are defeats. In
spite of fusion with the democrats in
Nebraska the third party is laid out
by the republicans of that state. la
Iowa, Weaver's own state, he gets
$1,000, the republican party polling
22S, 600. In Kansas they carry the
state by a bare majority after secur-
ing the 10000 democratic vote OF that
state by fusion, thus showing that In
two years they have lost 50, 900 votes
there. One or two minor states have
been carried by fusion with tue dem.
ocrats, who reap all the substantial
fruits of such victory. Looking over
the whole field there is no avoiding
the conclusion that as q national par
ty IL follows the funeral procession of
the prohibitionists and all other thir d
party movements, while as a state
party it has no existence outside of
Texas and Kansas and is fat disin-
tegrating there.

The Fence of the Future.

There are number of strong points in
favor of the Tuna Hedge as the fence of
the future, the advantage of this kind of
a fence may be briefly Enumerated as
follows: 1t becomes perfect barrier
against all kinds of domestic animals
after three years growth; does not sap
or impoverish the ground, being a strict
ly atmospheric plant, and will not grow
from the seed or by cutting the roots
hence will not spread, it grows only to a
certain uniform height and therefore
does not require trimming, it has been
thoroughly and successfully tested in
northern climates and does not kill out
in the winter time, it serves the double
purpose of usefulness and ornamen-
tation, as it is an evergreen and blooms
during three months of the year, an in
vitation is extended to thoroughly test
its merits, and every one will be con-
vinced that it possesses all the advant-
ages claimed for it. Messrs. Johnson &
Payne are now taking orders for the
Tuna Hedge and have met with uniform
success. Any one wishing a living grow
ing fence something that will not spread
and will be a fence for all time to come
should give their orders now and gel
their fence started this fall.

WAS IT 4 LANDSLIDE?

1t was an avalanche, and the republi-
cans have alighted, dismounted, got
down. The figures in the electoral COL
lege resemble those of 1860 when the
democracy was put to fight by the re-
suit OF the election which changed the
administration for the first time in many
years, and brought on the ''irrepressible
conflict only there will not be any the
scenes of IS60-'6 to follow this election.
The country is too prosperous to sustain
any serious losses because OF this sudden
change of administration. AS to the
causes of the landslide they are numer-
Gus, and may generally be traced to the
lack of judgment and the force of cir
cumstances such as "downed" Matt
Quay, froze James G. Blaine out of the
cabinet, and made Steve Elkins and
''Calico'' Charley Foster right bowers ot
= the president.
