IT is blunder on his part that Mr..
Prick should take the position that
no more union men shall be en-
ployed in works under his control.
The decision is especially wrong to be
taken by man at the head
of a big combination of capital
such as that reported to have
been formed by the Carnegie
interests. Workingmen have just the
same right to combine that the en-
ployers have. No more. and no less.
1t is open to question if both forms Of
combination do not produce more
harm than good in the community.
Both tend to Injustice, the gaining Of
of others. The members do not nee
essarIly work with celebrate aim at
that end, but in so far as they do aim
at it they are in conflict with the
greatest number. There can be no
question that the Carnegie establish
ments have been operated more or
less on the plan Of the combine, which
seeks to make undue profits by re-
stricting competition as much as
possible, and should be among the
last to take a decided stand against
the employment Of men who are mem
bers of trades unions. There is an
old saying to the effect that what is
good sauce for the goose should be &C
ceptable as sauce for the gander.

THERE is a vehement demand GO
ing up from over this great and glori-
Gus land for more originality in the
circus entertainments. There is too
much of one thing and that one thing
is sameness. We behold the same
parade, the same tent. the same ele-
plants, the same corpulent limbs in
the same tights, the same clowns and
the same jokes and the same clear
through the program.

A 1-YEAR-OLD female child is one
of the dramatis persona in a play
now running in Chicago 1t is graft
flying to plaYgoers to know that there
is at least one girl on the stage who
may not at any moment be expected
to grasp her skirts in her hand, launch
a vicious kick at the flies, and swing
into the lascivious gyration of the
skirt dance.

One OF the Queen,s Junket.

The Queens trip to Grasse last year
cost her 10, 600 pounds sterling, while
this year the journey to Hyeres and
Darmstadt are set down as costing
nearly 10, 600 pounds sterling, the
largest sum that has so far been ex-
pended on one of these trips, except
in 1888, when the Queen went TO
Florence and then visited Berlin on
the way home

THE people Of Chicago have done a
most creditable thing in raising 81,
900, 900 for their university. The
money was all secured in ninety days.
Three men subscribed $50, 900 and
upwards, and two more gave 500, 900
with several at $50, 900. A city that
shows such a spirit knows the value
of higher education, no matter what
its Getractors may say.

as have the employers of labor and as

Johnson County's New Cour
House.

house.
Never in the history of johnson coun-
ty has Olathe witnessed such an i'm
mense assemblage of people as attended
the dedicatory exercises of the new
court house in the public square.
All that could gain entrance to the
court room listened to an able address
by Judge Burris, of the district court
of johnson county, orator of the DAY.
He was followed by F. R. Ogg, of the
Olathe bar, who gave brief history of
the efforts to secure the new court
house. He said the proposition had
been submitted five times to the people
to vote funds for the erection of the
building, and four times voted down.
Precisely at noon S. II. BeVerforden,
of Kansas City, the contractor, delivered
the keys to the building, tied with blue
ribbon. on board covered with black
velvet, to George P. Washburn, of Otta-
wa, the architect, who delivered them to
I. d. Hibner, chairman of the board of
county commissioners, who turned them
over to Sheriff Easdale, each delivery
being accompanied by appropriate re-
marks. Then ex-Judge Hindman for
mally dedicated the magnificent struc-
ture as temple Of justice, after which
Chairman Hibner, of the county board,
presented Contractor Beverforden a
costly and beautiful gold-headed cane
as token of the appreciation of his
splendid work In the construction of the
building.

Syrup .

Mr.. ALBEIT Hartley OF Hudson,
N. c., was taken with Pneumonia.
His brother had just died from it.
When he found his doctor could not
rally him he took one bottle of Ger
man Syrup and came out sound and
well. Mr.. S. B. Gardiner, Clerk
with Druggist J. E. Barr, Aurora,
Texas, prevented a bad attack of
pneumonia by taking German Syrup
in time. He was in the business
and knew the danger. He used the
great remedy-Boschee's German
Syrup-for lung diseases. o

If an Atchison paper is not a great
liar. there is a pretty romance connected
with the life Of Walt Mason, the machine
poet OF the old boom days, who made a
great name for the Atchison Globe.
The story is to the effect that before he
worked on the Globe in Atchison he was
engaged 20 young lady in the east,
whose parents broke off the match. The
! girl married another man and was lately
widowed, being left a large amount of
money by her husband. Mason wrote q
poem not long ago. telling about his
blasted hopes, and it found its way to
the widow. She wrote to Mason, and
now they are to be married. They will
spend the coming winter In Europe.
Mason has braced up and is now as
| good-looking as he is bright.

80 osar Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
81 their being on the alert, in the matter of
judicial publications, tsheriff7s sales especial
ii. a. d neglect on their part to give positive
struetions as to where they desire such
yertisement published, is apt TO result in
=, being deprived of the patronage that
lid otherwise be given to us. The sheriff
lis parish has been making himself es-
ally jealous in the matter of securing
q ifs sales for the paper of which he is
I,ctor and stockholder, and several publica-
sns Of that nature have appeared in that
per which the parties interested would
i've selected to be done in the COURIER, had
ney been consulted and others have been
diverted from us at thejspecial solicitation of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
lii the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish We have no desire to in
'terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with tEeir patronage
ara earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURTER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in-
luced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

The Celebration ON the 21st East.
At 0peIOusas.

In accordance with the reouest Of
the President of the United States
made known by an appropriate pro-
clamation, the people Of the town of
Opeiousas celebrated the 2Ist inst. as
well as they could. The programme
was not SO imposing in enumerated
parts as others we have seen, but was
in accordance with the purposes of the
celebration. The parade was not
made for want of music and because
of the dust, bnt it was pleasing to see
the children with tiny flags floating in
their hands. all marching from differ
snt directions to the Court House
square. By III o'clock the house was
filled with them and the ladies. So
numerous were they that but few gen
tlemen could find room. Prof. Mayer
and some of his pupils were on hand
and the music was excellent. It is i'm
possible to imagine how such celebra-
tions could be made successful here
without him and his apt eleves. It is
well that they are so obliging and SO
kind. Prof s. f. Read acted by selec-
ton as master of ceremonies. The ex-
ercises began by reading the Presi-
dents proclamation. This was done by
Prof. Read
The flag of the United States was
then unfurled by Capt. J. p. Smith who
aptly impersonated the veterans. It
was then appropriately saluted. Then
followed an extemporaneous address
by Judge E. North Cullom, the orator
of the day, who fully sustained his rep
utatioD as an elegant and forcible spea-
ker, and whose patriotic sentiments,
expressed in scholarly manner, elicit
ed frequent applause.
Miss Leola B. White recited "Colum-
bias Banner" in admirable style.
Song of "Coium bus Day. WAS then
sung by the entire audience with good
effect. sss
Mr. III. Garland Dupr6 followed in an
address entitled, the 'smeaning of the
four centuries" The young gentle
man is a good elocutionist, and was
listened to with fixed attention. Last
II, Miss Stella Truman read very in
structive and lucid compendium Of his
tory. entitled, Progress of Woman in
the last Four hundred years" The
theme is one Of captivating interest to
the student Of progressive civilization,
and If we bad space we would be pleas
ed to insert it with Judge Culfum's and
MIR. Dupre's remarks. III our paper.
Judge Callom's speech was cut short
by the noisy children which throBged
the Court house. The little fellows
were delighted and the more-so. as
they fully realized that they. We're i'm
porant factors in the Celebration.
The different partg were interluded
by Professor Mayors Orchestra. with
out whose assistance any such celebra
tion w4e soulless and uninspiring
Considering the limited facilities af-
forded by our little town, the display
was creditable. In this connection lei
US remark that, there might be some
appropriateness in doing honor to the
Great Napoleon, who possibly saved
Louisiana from being an English Col
ony, by his timely sale of its vast ter
ritory to the United States. Why

Hurrah for the st. Landry School
Board,

Liberty appears to be backsliding
in st. Landry or like Rip Van Winkle
we are just waking up from a very
long sleep.
At the last meeting of the Foster
Public School Board, the COURIER and
Democrat put in bid, as has hereto
fore been done, for the printing and
publishing of its proceedings The
Clarion represented by T.%S. Fontenot
made proposition to this effect !:
That it would do the work for the
School Board for nothing-provided,
the Board would agree not to give the
COURIER and Democrat its proceedings
for publication This proposition was
accepted by the Board, Messrs. Gull
beau, Wilson and Irion dissenting
The position taken by these three
being that if our papers should be will
ling to publish the proceedings free of
charge there could be no reasonable
or fair objection to letting thsm do it.
But they were overruled and the
Board obligated itself not to permit US
to publish its proceedings for nothing.
Thus the people of st. Landry are en-
phatically told that unless they take
the Clarion they will not know what
i the School Board does. We suggest
that as the Clarion or rather T. s. Fon-
tenot, Esq, has copyrighted the
Boald's proceedings, they should be
henceforth headlined as follows:
Entered according to act of the ST.
Landry Fosterite School Board in the
year 1892, by the faction Boss z. s.
FonteRot In the School Board Room of
the parish Of st. Landry.
We will have more to say to our
readers on this subject as it is one of
interest to every head of family. Let
it be understood that we lodge no COM
plant for the failure of the School
Board to accept our bid for the print
ing of its proceedings. The Clarion
having offered to do it for nothing, it
had the right to give it the work and
we had no right to object. The Clar-
ion is Welcome-tO it at that price. Our
objection lies to the refusal of the
Board to allow us.t to publish them on
the same terms, contemporaneously
with the Clarion.
We called ons the secretary of the
Board. Mr.. Frazee, severel times for the
purpose of getting the proceedings of
] the last meeting for publication, but
| have been Pit off with one pretext or
another until it is too late to publish
them this week. We promise that in
future onr readers will be promptly
furnished with Il correct report.
