NOT AFRAID OF CHOLERA.
No Danger at All if Care Is Taken in
Diet and Cleanliness Observed.

The American Druggist says: A
great many people are giving them
selves unnecessary trouble about the
cholera. The disease is only tormlda-
bic where inadequate measures exist for
graphing with it. Deficient and i'm
pure water supply is the primary cause
of its origin in Asia. Dirt, ignorance
and warm weather are the principal
transmitters of the disease.
In Madras and Calcutta, India, the
writer has seen large mortality from
cholera among tue poorer classes where
unsanitary conditions prevailed, while
Immediately around them Europeans
and natives who observed ordinary pre-
cautions in food and drink were wholly
free from the disease. Boiling kills all
cholera germs and hence it is well, dur
ing Il cholera epidemic, to boil all water
and milk. Canned goods are also a
safe diet at such time if used at once Oh
ceive in process of being packed, which
effectually sterilizes the cunteuts.
While it may be well enough to quar-
antinc the low class of immigrants that
have been reaching our shores from tho
infected districts of Russia and Ger
many, Or shut them out altogether for
a time, there is no sense in people be-
ing panic-striCken here, any more than
they have been in France aud Spain
where the cholera has prevailed more or
/ less for several years. Hundreds of
children die in this city every week
from cholera infaDtum superinduced by
bad milk, but little thought is given to
it. No person need fear the cholera if
he exercises ordinary care iD diet, clean
lluess aud sanitary surroundings.

We are soon going to have ano her
Oklahoma BOOM At the reques' of
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs the
Interior Department has decided to
slowly open the lands of the kickapoo
Indian reservation to sttlement. These
lands cover 100000 acres, and there
are only 300 kickapoos or sixty fami-
lies on them. Each of the Indians is
entitled to eighty acres, and they will
make their selections first, when the
lands will be thrown open to settlement
in the same way as those in Oklahoma
were. They are in the vicinity of those
already opened up, and are said to be
good for agriculture and grazing pur-
poses. When the Presidents proclama-
ton is issued we may expect to see the
usual rush, and that the lands will be
taken up at once. 1t will add some 3d.
900 or 10000 to the population of Okla
homa and will bring that Territory
very nearly up to the number required
for statehood. We may expect, there
fore, to hear it soon clamoring for ad-
mission to the Union.

AS Others See Us.

Barney Free writes to the Alexandria
Town Talk as follows:
On the morning of the Goth inst.
boarded the down train on the Morgan
road for ODelousas, Conductor Kelly in
charge. We reached the pleasant old
city of Opelousas on time. At first
sight we thought the fairies had been
at work on us, or our train; really
said, this must be Bloomington, H.,
aud why Well, saw SO many thresh-
ers, reapers and binders-men and
teams-grain sacks, piled up here and
theresa much hustle, that for the mo-
ment was taken by surprise, and could
than that it was a painting of the great
West.
Sincerely, hope the good people of
Opelousas will not think amiss of me
for the above expressions. Let me tell
you. 1t Opelousas had railroad to run
out west, to the rice fields and pine for
ests of West Louisiana and East Texas,
would in that event give some other
places a live hustle when it came to
business.
Opelousas capitalists are making ar
raugements for building a cotton COM
press. Whether or not it will be
business hit is none of Odd Ends affair.
Hope it will. But one thing did won
der at was, how it happened there was
no rice mill there; nor no central sugar
factory. The lands in reaching distance
of the place are rich in quality for the
production of both cane and rice. Any
how, we feel sure in saying, the day is
not far distant when the "City of Ro-
ses" will have lice and sugar facto-
ries.
Opelousas is improving-it is build
ing, not to say booming. A new addi
ton to the courthouse new and sub
stantial bank building, red brick front
and stone trimming, present neat and
at the same time attractive appearance.
A new business block, all brick, is
now undergoing the finishing touches.
Besides these, there are many and va
ried attractions in new houses and resi-
dences. heard some talk of building
a new hotel, but just how soon the pro-
ject will nateriallZe | am not prepared
to say at this writing.
Along the line, from Haasvillc to
Opelousas, | noticed that cotton pros
poets look slim. Everywhere heard the
cry of Z" too much rain.n

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
OF tsac Louisiana Weather Service, 90.
operating with the u. ~. Weather Ru-
reaW, for ahe Week ending Sept. d.
Bulletin No. ~.

Bulletin NO. ~
Brisk northerly winds, plenty OF sunshine,
warm days and cool nights-such has been the
record OF the past weeks weather. The rains
have been moderately heavy in the4 southern
portion of the State, though not well distribut-
ed in the north the showers were light.
The nights have been entirely too cool for
cotton, though other crops do not appear to
have been affected. The condition OF the cot
ton crop gets more unfavorable each week 1t
is rotting badly; scald and rust induced by
previous rains, are becoming apparent every
where, and the boil worm and caterpillar arc
omnpresent. The possibilities for even fair
crop depend on better weather at an early date.
The corn crop is not all harvested, but the
yield will be far above the average. Fodder
pulling las been successful this week, not much
riliil to interfere.
Cane prospects continue excellent. With
such weather as at present the crop will enjoy
steady growth, although more sunshine and
less moisture would make a sweeter stalk and
hasten maturity. Sorghum and ribbon cane,
raised in many of the parishes for home con
sumption, is yielding well.
Rice reports arc encouraging as to yield
Harvesting has progressed satisfactorily, des-
pie the fact that the heavier rains occurred in
portions of the rice country. Dry weather is
desired to complete the harvesting of the crop.
The weather has been good for hay harvest
ing.
Gardeners are preparing for their winter
crops. Peas, turnips and potatoes are very
promising.

Political Points.

President Harrison's letter of accep-
lance was given to the press last Mon
| day. ClevelaDd's will soon follow.
The Democratic party is as much the
party OF the people to-day as it was un-
! der the leadership of jefferson, and it
is now, as it has ever been, the deter
mined foe of plutocracy and centrali-
| zatlon.-Atlanta Constitution, Dem.
A dispatch from Washington says
P. 3. S. Pinchback, of Louisiana fame,
has been interviewed. He opiDes that
the Republican party may secure sew
| eral congressman i'll Louisiana through
the lnstrumentality of the Peoples
Party.
AS long as Harrison is in the White
House, using all the forces of the gov
eminent to keep himself and his radical
faction i'll control of the country, Dem
ocrats cannot afford to divide anywhere,
and, least Of all, in the South, against
which Harrison has directed all the
force OF his narrow and bigoted section
al radicalism.-St. Louis Republic,
Dem.
The Farmers Alliance, at its annual
convention in Monroe, very wisely de-
clded not to affiliate, as an organization,
with any political party, but leave its
members free to affiliate with whatever
they choose individually. This is as it
should be. The Alliance has no more
right as an organization to meddle in
politics than in religious Matters
Abbeville Meridional.
Candidate Weaver's record as Union
soldier is about as maddening to ex-
Democratic mem bers of the Third party
IN the South as his running mate Fields
record as Confederate soldier is to ex-
Republican members of the Third party
in the North. 1t looks very much as
though the fat and lean hippodrome
ticket were bound to DO swamped in
the miro of sectional animosity.-New
York Press, Rep.
Farmerville Gazette Some Of our
exchanges are making it rather uncom-
Portable for Messrs. Brian, father and
SOD, representatives in the late legisla-
ture from Grant and VIM parishes, for
having drawn an excessive amount for
mileage as legislators. The one drew
$50 and the other SAG, while legislators
residing in adjacent parishes got less
than one fourth that amount. The ell
der and Junior Brian were elected by
the reform or third party adherents, and
from the first step it looks like they are
going to reform matters after manner
that will prove most beneficial to their
pocket books.
Mr.. T. j. Guice said in his speech at
Coushatta last Tuesday, in reply to a
direct question from Mrs. Blanchard,
that he favored the passage by Con-
gress of force bill. Coming from the
source it does, this statement is signif-
cant, although it is not surprising.
There is no sort of doubt that tl,e Re-
publican and third party leaders under
stand each other with regard to the
question of Federal interference with
elections, and they are in thorough ac-
cord on it. However, Guice is the only
one OF them in the South who is bold
enough to state his position. The third
party platform is silent on the subject,
and SO are their leaders and Journals.
But they all favor it, and it is strange
how a Southern white man, especially
one who believes in States rights, can
affiliate with such party.-Desoto

The Fifth District Bolt,

The Tallulah, Madison parish, Jour
nal, gives clear insight into the real
motives which prompted the bolt OF
several members of the Executive Com
mittee Of the Fifth Congressional Dis
tlict a short time since. The Journal
says that the chief bolter, man by the
name of Warren, of Lincoln parish, is
an avowed Third party man aud is
openly supporting Weaver and Field,
while the other two boilers were par
ties holding proxies and are advocating
the election of Judge A. A. Gunby to

is nothing in the Ocala demands incon-
sistent with Democracy. How is it
anyhow, that Third partyites, Ocalaites,
and all the ritfratf of demagogues who
are, in one disguise or another, in re-
volt against the Democratic party, are,
in SO many instances, permitted to take
part in the proceedings of Democratic
committees and conventions? Again,
we advise our fellow-Democrats to stop
this thing. These demagogues and ig-
nOramuses are not to be put down by
feeding them with butter and honey !;
the only way to deal with them is to
draw the line and then rush them pell
NELL on to the other side of it. Put
none but Democrats on guard. Admit
none but Democrats to the councils of
