Congressional.

We hear it whispered in Columbia
that Hon. L. P. Padgett will be a
candidate for Congress in this distri CT
against Col. n. n. Cox, the present
member. It is also rumored that the
friends of Capt. Wilkes, of Pulaski,
will prevail upon him to make the
race. Both of these gentle men stand
high in the district as worthy gentle
men and good Democrats. Should
they enter the race Col. Cox will have
some trouble in keeping his fences in
repair. He had better commence
distributing his garden seed and

Democratic Primaries.


We wish to emphasize the fact that
the primaries to be held in this
county on Saturday, March 5th, are
Democratic primaries. If any of our
readers doubt that proposition, we
invite them to turn to another place
In this paper and read the proceed
ings of the committee.
Since the sweeping victory of the
Democrats two years ago, the Mug
wump finds he is not in the swim,
and he Is very much disposed to com
promise matters by agreeing to vote
for the nominees this time" That
is well enough so for as it goes, and il
is one of the conditions laid down.
But it is not enough; there is another
condition; the resolution says, plain
ly, "that no one shall be allowed to
vote who does not declare himself a
Democrat, and in line and sympathy
with the principles and policies of
the Democratic party" In addition
to this he must also promise to sup
port the nominees of this primary.
Tie HAS NOAlC lAo paw ~
make the primaries in fact what they
are in name-DemOcratic primaries.
There were none on the committee,
but there are some on the outside
who have entered their "sOlemn pro-
test" They say it will keep some
people at home. That is what it is in
tended for; this is not a free-for-all
contest, and "some people" were not
intended to be included in it. They
say further that it will cut off some
votes from some Of the candidates.
That is also.what it intended to do.
Some of the candidates were prepar-
ing to poll some votes that were not
entitled to be cast in a Democratic
primary, and this is to shut them out.
That's plain. A man who is Demo-
erat and intends to support the nomi-
nees, from top to bottom, will not OBJ
iect. The man who is not that, will
howl. He has a right to; he has
been hit. Let him howl himself
hOarse. The nominees will march on
to victory.
When this nominating system was
started, one of its main objects was
to nut down bribery and corruP-
ton" The committee have also met
this issue squarely. They say il it
comes to their knO Wedge that any
candidate has procured his nomins-
ton by ''bribery or corruption" by
the illegal use of money or whiskey,
they will ignore his nomination and
call another primary. That is put
ting it strong, but that is what the
committee intended to do. They in
/ tend-if possib'e-to hold one clean
|AIection and to give the Democrats of
- county one clean ticket to vote

a Monster Evergreen Nursery.

The annual catalogue Of the Ever
glecn Nurseries, Of Evergreen, Wis,
has been issued, and this office has been
favored with copy. They uOW list
fully three hundred varieties Of conif-
erOUS eVelgIeenS. Some nl them are
very strange and unique in form and
habit Of growth. They have been to
great pains and expense to secure seeds
and plants OF evergreens found native
in all parts of the earth. If man
wants cversreens cheap but good, for
screens, groves, wind breaks, OF hedges,
there is no better place 10 go in Amer
ica. II 4 mau is fond of the marvellous,
strange, aud curious forms in nature,
there is no other place in tIiS country
where his fancy can he satisfied with
rare and heautltnl evergreens.
These nurseries are growing the
plants in immense numbers, planting
the seeds by the ton They imported
from one seed house in Germany last
season 1900 pounds, besides all they
gathered in this country, getting large
quantities from Colorado, California,
Washington, aud all the western states
And territories. It is we'll worth any

John 8. Young.

II am satisfied the Foster party will
not abide by the decision VIC ICuuer
here, in case it mean the nomination of
McEuery. lam certain that il McEnery
is nominated it will result in the ruin
of the party
The language just quoted fell from
Mr.. YouuQ's lips before the committee
Of seven. Need We more to discover
the true motive which actuatcd the
chairman in reaching his decision and
robbius tLleo thousand legal voters of
the precious right Of suffrage 1t will
not be contendcd that Col. Young did
not entertain those views when he ac-
cepted the sacred trust of chairman of
the committee of seven. He was Ger
tainy not in frame of mind to decide
the result OF the election impartially.
He should therefore have declined the
position. In accepting it he must have
been actuated through DO other desire
than to subserve the interests of his
faction. "He who steals my purse is
amenable to the criminal laws but he
who steals my confidence is worse than
u thief" Col. Young has betrayed the
trust rcposed in him. He has been
guilty of an atrocious crime against
popular rights. He should be held in
public execration.
In his remarks Col. Young, uuiuteu-
tionally, no doubt, has paid a high COM
pl,neut to the friends and supporters of
the McEuery ticket. While holding that
the Fosterites would not abide by fair
decision, if adverse to them, he im-
plicdly admitted that the McEnery
Democrats could be relied on for their
party fealty, even when denied their
just rights.
Col. Young has been represented as an
honest man. This is an error. He has
shown himself imbued with all the iu-
justice and weakness of low partisan.
Such shall be the estimate placed on his
character by just men hereafter.
With such Il precedent, we roget to
say, the future of Democracy in Louisi-
ana is dark indeed. When the spirit of
faction tramples under foot every sa-
cred right. it is we'll for the people to
pause and ask themselves where are
they drifting. We must soon turn our
attention to our own political sins and
to the publication Of our own party, Or
worse eviIs-if possible will befaIl its.

Charles 3. Singleton.

We sincerely regret to have to cLrou-
icle the death of this most excellent
gentleman.
He was a native Of St. Landry, who
having been educated at Marion Col
Iege, Missouri, studied law iu this town
aud was licensed by the Supreme Court
about 1919. He taught a private
school in Pine Prairie in 1874. and moved
to New Orleans about 1S45- 46, where he
commenced the practice of law. I'm
known there. he practiced sobrietS-
gave strict attention to his little, but
gradually growing business, and i'll the
lapse of few years established remu-
nerative practice. Being uniformly at
tentive and always industrious, he pro-
fited by practical experience and soon
become one among the reliable couu-
selors at the city bar. He joined the
Presbyterian Church, while at college,
Il consistent and Jealous member Of
which he continued to be to the time of
his death. His entire life was an adj
mirable example OF nprightness in all
tho duties of life.

All Outrage.


No reasonable person would seriously
object to innocent amusement, but
when young men venture to shoot lntt
! houses, wo think it time that society
| should speak out and that the seycrest
penalties OF the law should be imposed
! The saloon of Max Firnbcrg stands
within few feet Of that Of \. La
combe. 1t has been one of the princi-
pal resorts Of the friends of McEuery
. Mr.. F'lrnberg was absent on the night
of the 5th inst, and it had been closed
. about fifteen minutes when some of the
young men ut the FOsterite supper fired
into the saloon. Had there been any
one sleeping OH q cot which stauds in
the upper story of the saloon, and where
some one sometimes sleeps, he would
have been murdered infa!tlbly, as one
of the largest sized bullets passed
through the wall and over it, not more
than two to three inches above it.
The holes Of from ten to twenty but
lets are to be seen, and some of the bull
lets are exposed to view, sticking in
furniture aud in other objects. One
young man frankly co,lfcsscs that he
was one of the party WHO did the shoot
ing, and magnanlmuuely offers to pay
time he was under the influence Of wine.
This course on his part is comnicnduble.
But the other paI ties, fancyiDg probably
that they cannot be Identified, keep
silent.
The perpetrators OF such an outrage
need not hope to escape detection. Let
rs see if the law against it can be adj
mini-tcred. Every one, whether high
or low, is vitality Interested IN the uues-
ton and should lend his aid in entorc-
lug the severest penalty Of the law. If

gret the occurrence, more particularly

We do not think Mr.. Firm berg has the
right or power to pass over tits matter
10y compromise for it does not concern
him alone. Society bas rs much interest
in it as he, in So far az the policy of the
law ia concerned. Public policy is to be
deferred to, just as much as if a murder
had been committed. Ihe "tteise is
and not against Mr.. FirnberS, who has
his remedy for damages done to him
personally. He has his right to these,
aud these he is at libelty to condonc aud
waive, but the crime is against the State,
aud he has 10 more control over that
than any other member Of society.
