The McEnery Judicial Con-
vention.

A convention composed of dele
gates representing the McEnery
faction met in this town Tuesday
to select a candidate for District
Judge and one for District Attor-
nov.
Iberia parish had ten delegates
at this convention and st. Martin
six. When the delegates arrived
in town early in the forenoon they
we're pretty divided, some we're in
favor of Mr.. Felix VOORHEES,,
others for Mr.. l.. o. Hacker of
Iberia and the balance were in ia
vor of endorsing Judge James E.
Mouton.
After the delegates had circu-
lated among the friends of Mr..
Worries and the McEneryites,
even those who pretend to have
surrendered to the Foster faction,
they succeeded in turning some of
the delegates in favor of Mr.. Voc
rhies, thereby securing his nomin-
alton.
Mr.. Hacker who was a candidate
for Judge, who was not present,
was telegraphed to, and offered
the District Attorneyship which
he refused. Mr.. D. w. VOORHEES,
was subsequently nominated for
the Office.

The Bounty Payments.

While all the bounty claims Of
the Louisiana planters have not
yet been paid by any means, there
has been more disposition shown
by the authorities at Washington
to push matters, and as conse-
quence the planters have received
o share of tho money due them.
The Louisiana representatives in
Washington have lost no opportu-
nifty of urging upon the Treasury
Department the prompt payment
of the bounty claims, and it is
doubtless because of this persis-
tent pressure that the payments
are now going forward more salts
factorily.
AS there is practically little
chance of the bounty law being
disturbed for some time, it would
seem to be the proper policy for
the Treasury Department to take
steps to have tho payments of the
bounty in future made more pro-
pity after the filing Of the applica-
ton and vouchers by the planters.
The object of the bounty is to en-
courage the domestic sugar indus
try and to enable it to compete
with low price foreign sugar. a
large portion of this landable pur-
pose is defeated by the long de-
lays experienced in collecting the
bounty. The experience of the
present season must, of course,
not be altogether accepted as
criterion of what may be done
hereafter, as the bounty system
was this year an entire novelty
and necessarily many difficulties
were encountered which can be
provided against hereafter if the
Government 40 desires.
1t is to be hoped that pro6ting
by this years experience the Ire
asury officials will make prepara-
tions to pay the bounty moro
promptly next year and thus allow
the planters to reap the full bene-
fit of the system. -Picayune.

Look Outior the Negro Vote.

N1nnnAnn1nnMnA.A.-A-
We hsxe rsoeived mfoimst5on
that the McEneryites, or at MIST
ex-McEneryites, are working apa
scheme TO vote few negroes at
some of the polls in the parish, as
their only means to defeat Cab.
Cardinal and Chds. Delhommer.
White citizen be on your guard,
or you will be dominated by few
negroes. Politicians are hypocritos,
they will preach white Supre-
macy" but will use the negro vote
when they need it. Our political
ennemies are weak, and they know
it, therefore their only chance is
to ride into Office on the negro
vote.

Admit Them, But do Not
Support Them.

The McEnery leaders Of this
parish, or at least, some of them
have surrendered at the meeting
at Breaux Bridge last Sunday and
acknowledged they were defeated
and would vote for Foster.
It is very we'll that they should
b admitted IN our ranks, but they
should occupy backseat until
after this campaign is over, and
our attention and support, the
whole of it should and must be
given to those gallant leaders who
are the victors, those who have
made the fight, those who have
won the victory and wrenched the
party from the grasp of the politi-
clans who have unscrupulously
run it for go many years. Who
are those who have made that no.
BILE fight and won that grand vic
tory? Cab. Gardemal, Charles
Delhommer and the Others who
will run on the same ticket are
those who have gone into the
tight for Foster and our rights
and to them We owe q debt of gra-
titude and We should recompense
them BY giving them our whole
and undivided support.
The McEnery leaders who have
surrendered are sharp politicians
and may try to deceive you by
presenting you Foster state tickets
at the bottom of which you will
find their names. You should not
vote those tickets, but be careful
and sure you vote the Gardemal
and Delhommer ticket, and then
you will be sure you vote for all
the true and pure Foster men who
have the credit of winning our
grand victory. We have won the
victory and our leaders should
have our votes, and no true Fos-
ter men should cast his vote for
those who have como to US and
surrendered because they we're
forced to do so by defeat. Let us
stand gallantly to our colors and
elect all the Foster candidates
who we're with us from the begin
ming of the fight to the last, and
who have achived the victory and
forced our ennemies to come to us
and surrender. The victors must
commend and the vanquished
kept under surveillance, until we
are sure of their sincerity.

High Wages Means Cheap
Labor.

In reply to the Republican pre-
tense that the higher wages paid
in this country justify higher
prices, and therefore q protective
tariff, this paper has from time to
time presented evidence that the
higher wages are moro than offset
by the greater quantity and better
quality Of labor secured in this
country, 30 that the coast of labor
to the manufacturer is in many
cases less here than it is in Euro
pean countries.
In support of this We have the
testimony of a Republicaa manu-
factursr who from time to time
exhorts his employees to vote the
high tariff ticket by intinating to
them that if they do not he viii
reduce their wages.
The witness on the present oc-
casion is Mr.. Dodge, the felt man
ufacturer of Herkimer country,
New York, who has secured an
enormous amount of free advertis-
ing in tho papers by adopting the
profit sharing system with his en-
ployes. A year ago he told them
that he divided SIS, 900 with them !;
that this gave the workman IL per
cent, more wages than like work
men in other shops got; but that
he was no philanthrophist; he
paid them this SIS, 900 because he
got enough more, and better work
out Of them to m axe it for bis in
terest to do 80.
Here is the testimony of very
practical character that high wa
ges make cheap labor.
During the past winter Mr..
Dodge contributed an article to
the Social Economist, in which he
developed some of his theories
based upon his own experience.
Intelligent, competent labor"
said he, lis no less important to
profitable production than is eff
Gent machinery = +" If Ia
borers are poorly paid and over
worked and ill-housed, they not
only become less efficient them
selves, but their children, who are
to take their places, are no better
and sometimes worse =
In order to obtain the most econo-
mic service from labor it is not
only necessary that laborers
should have the possibility of
good social conditions while work
ing. but also that they should re-
tire from work as soon as they be-
come inefficient for their place,
which is constantly occurring"
Here is the testimony of Mr..
Dodge, a large and successful man.
ufacturer, that the employer gets
his work done cheapest by labor
ers who are well-paid. well-fed,
we'll housed, and 30 comfortable
that they can afford to give up
working before they actually COL
lapse, High wages, then, mean
cheap labor; tho manufacturer
would not pay the high wages if
be were not getting his moneys
worth. Mr.. Dodge claims to pay
his people more than any of his
rivals pay theirs, but he does not
ask higher prices on that account. |
He does not have to ask as much
because he gets his work done
more cheaply by the working peo-
pie who get IL per cent, more wa
ses than are paid in other shops.

Charlie Warwick was in to see him In
the course OF the morning and says that
the dear old gentleman was so unnerved
that he couldn't attend TO business.
Mother is, unfortunately, Aunt Neelle' S
favorite sister, so we are to have the
major portion Of her visit She IS at
Cousin Jauie Carrington's now, but she's
coming to u next week. Mother went
to see her the morning after she arrived
and returned with the fatal intelligence.
Then | looked over at Nan and she
looked back at me, and by common i'm
pulse we decided to refugee al once"
Mary had ushered her guests into q
cool, shaded chamber, and was helping
them TO make themselves at home. The
girls chatted gayy as they removed
their dusty travelling dresses, and Mary
listened much amused. She could gauge
| their CONSERVATION at their unIOved rel
ative's advent by her own JOY in her de-
parture. She was very fond OF these
two bright and pretty cousins and glad
| TO have them with her. Indeed, il they
had not come of their own accord she
would have summoned them. She had
come to a crisis in her affairs when she
! onged for the support and refuge OF
the presence OF other women.
Mans pretty dark face was down in
cool water in the big old fashioned
bowl, but she managed TO remark be-
tween the dips: eve are going TO stay
until you send for the sheriff, Mary, so
I thought il was Just as well TO tell
Charlie he might follow later on. It's
horribly stufTy in town, and I've or
dered him TO pay Aunt Neelie lots OF
attention in my stead" With a Smoth-
cred laugh that gurgled in the water:
Il wish you could have seen the gloom

pore. He'll do it, though, because he
really IS u goOd-hearted fellow. l hope
YOU won't mind his coming; he isn't a

Mrs. Beverly assured her that she did
not mind IL in the least, and that tho
tiance would be most welcome. Then
she turned smilingly 10 Ella and offered

that young lady airily waved the offer

OF caring for nobody and being the OBJ
iect of nObOdy'S care, she said, and In
tended to loaf and wear out her old
clothes and enjoy herself in DELICIOUS
untrammeled solitude. To secure this
end she had, even amid the demoraliza-

presence OF mind 10 quarrel with every
man she knew. She was not going TO
let such disturbing elements as men
spoil her ruStication.
There isn't much Of that to dread
up here" she added, laughing.
An idea dawned on Mary which sent
a light OF laughter into her eyes and
caused hidden dimple TO play hide aud
