ST. LANDRY, LA, OCTOBER L, 1892.
Our Nominee.

The Baton Rouge Truth has this to
say of our nominee for Congress from
the Sixth Congressional District, which
the COURIER fully indorses:
The people of the Sixth Congressional
District are TO be congratulated upon
the nomination of Col S. M. Robertson,
our present active young Representive,
to succeed himself in the halls of Con-
gress. Without intending the least
disparagement to other candidates, we
believe the nominee to-be the very
best selection that possibly could have
been made. Young, intelligent, with a
thorough understanding of The wants of
his constituents, and with splendid
record as a Cong gresham, Col. Robert
son is eminently vel! qualified to repre-
sent this district. That he will be use
full to his constituents in the future, as
he has beensin the past, goes without
saying. If we could feel that the other
districts would be as we'll represented
as the sixth, we would point to the
Louisiana delegation as the peers in
craftsmanship of the formost in the
Union. We write as if our nominee
was already elected, knowing full we'll
that a Democratic nomination is
equivalent to an election, and that the
old sixth is surely and solidly Demo-
cratic.

The Alexandria Democrat makes a
centre shot in the following:
The Louisiana Lottery Company
was the alleged disturbing factor,
which rent in twain the Democratic
party of the State and for the first time
in its history, gave US two democratic
nominees for Governor. Now, we
should like to know what caused a
Clark to bolt the nomination of Hogg
in Texas and a Kolb to bolt the nomi-
nation of a Jones in Alabama, as
neither of these States has been op-
pressed with the weight of this dread
fuI incubus. The cause must be sought
for elsewhere, it is not to be found de-
ceptively covered up under the Lottery
hobby. as 10 the case of Louisiana six
months ago. 1t is no doubt a desire
too strong to be resisted--to gain pos
session of the ''tlesh pots of Egypt by
the "outs'' and q similar desire on the
part of the Gins" to keep possession, by
indefinitely excluding the "outs.'

resolutions by which, as rule, the la

ground that the exposition will be,
in the broadest and highest sense, a
great educator. improving, developing

some of the most important lessons it
will teach, will be in the line of indus

that an open fair, much more than a

We are entering upon a great moral
struggle. The foe against which we
contend is powerful and determine d.
He has been permitted to quietly in
trench himself in the avarice, and ap-
petite of tens of thousands of his fol-
lowers. Too long has this destroyer
been permitted to spread blight and
misery on every hand. Each year, from
fifty to hundred thousand of the young
men of this nation, are enslaved and
ruined body and soul. This is the foe
we must meet. The friends of virtue,
and sobriety, and religion must combine
to crush out this monster evil. Thank
God! the ranks are filling up. The
forces are being mustered in. The bat
tie is already set in array. The order
has been given to advance all along the
line. Hark! hear the tramp of con-
quering legions. The shouts of victory
are already in the air. The solid col
umns of temperance are pressing on.
Our watchword is, total abstinence from
all that will intoXicate. Our battle cry
is prohibition. And we do not intend
to close the war, or enter into any COM
promises, until the routed hosts of
drunkenness, driven to the last ditch,
surrender Internationally; and the I'M
sullied banner of temperance is planted
in every valley, upon every hilltop,
along every river, and out upon the dis
tant prairie, not until it waves in tri5

SPLENDID CEREMONIES

Mark the Observance of the Day
by Catholics.
The high festival of Christmas was
celebrated with the accustomed fervor
and devotion by the Catholics of the
city yesterday. From early morning
till MONDAY the sacrifice of the mass
was going on in all the churches of that
denomination. Cribs. representative
of the birth Of Christ in the stable at
Bethlehem, could be seen i'll many of
the churches, and around these were
gathered the faithful on their knees in
prayerful worship.
Throngs of deyout people took ad-
vantage OF the great feast to partake of
the sacrament of communion, and at all
the early masses the sight was one
truly edifying.
At the cathedral the first mass was
celebrated at 5o'clock, the church being
crowded to the doors. The altar was
brilliantly Illuminated with myriads Of
lighted wax tapers, which, together
with the elaborate candelabra and the
vari-colored veStmentS of the clergy,
made a scene Of unusual splendor and
briiliancy. The choir, under the direc-
tion of John T. Gehan, rendered Gou-
nod's Third Mass, and in manner wor-
thy of the Well-known abilities of the
gifted leader.
Pontifiical high mass was sung at
10:30, Archbishop Ireland officiating,
assisted by Reverends HetfrOn, Illig and
Hart, of the cathedral, and number of
the seminarians from st. Thomas
The congregation Oh this occasion was
large. many n0n-Catholics being in at
tendance, as Is generally the case on
festivals of unusual significance. Rev.
Father Hart delivered the sermon,
choosing his text from the gospel
of the day, Behold, this day is born
unto you" Though short, the discourse
was most happy and eloquent.
The choir sang MoZart's Twelfth Mass,
being assisted by Seibert's full orches-
ira, Mr.. Gehan directing The beautiful
"Adeste Fidelis," which was sung at
The beginning aud closing of the service,
has never had better rendition than
was given yesterday; and Mr.. Gehan
may well feel proud over the results of
the labor ne has expended in bringing
his choir to such state of excellence.
The singing by the choir yesterday, was
said to be, by good judges of sacred
music, the best ever heard in the old
church.

A Great Tenor.

William Ii. Rieger. of New York, the
tenor who will be heard in the "Mes-
siah" on Thursday evening, is rapidly
becoming known as the most popular
oratorio tenor in America. He fills the
most important Messiah engagements
this year. notably with the Handel and
Haydn society, of Boston, and the Apol-
here recently, expressed herself as hay
ing been more pleased with his singing
of the "Messah''than any tenor she had
heard in many years. The New York
press refer to him as the "king of
tenors," aud the ST. Paul Choral as
sociation is particularly fortunate in
having secured him for the coming con-
cert
