We Told You So.

Writing Oh the eve of the adjournment
of the legislature, the Natcbitoches Re-
view (McEnery) says:
What has it done! Except the passage OF a
few local bills, the Lor 'siana Soons can show
nothing that has been enacted i'll the interest
OF the people whom they were elected to serve,
and whose money they regularly draw to 90 Oft
on iunketing trips to New Orleans
To show that this is not a mere par
tisan opinion, and that the people have
really been humbugged again, as they
were in 1888 (when they elected the ere
form" Nichols administrator, and by
the same plausible, oily-tongued politi
cal frauds, we give the following ex-
tracts from staunch Foster organs.
Says the Shreveport Caucasian:
at would seem that the reforms promised
the people by the members of the legislature
now sitting in Baton Rouge were the idle va
poringS of men wishing to be invested with the
title and honor of legislators. One of the most
'np0rtant bills submitted for earnest and hon
est consideratlOn-the Australian ballot bill
has been strane led to DEATH" &C., &c.
The New Orleans Truth is still more
discouraged. 1t says:
"If anybody has heard of any important
legislation which has passed the legislature at
upon the people OF the State by informing them
of it,
And the Alexandria Town Talk is
supremely disgusted. 1t discourses
thus:
The present legislature makes us very, very
tired. Hardly two Of its members seem to
agree to but one thing, and that is to draw
their wages promptly. The good they done
the state could be told with q o."
This, in the language of the N. 0. City
Item, is not so much cause for despair
as good reason for the firm resolve to
be more cautious the next time. 1t
should at least teach us to beware of all
self-seeking politicians who profess to
be far wiser and moro virtuOus than the
people.

Tho legislature has not acceded to the
almost universal demand of the people
for the abolishment of the circuit court,
but it has passed a concurrent resolu-
tion looking to a reorganization of the
judiciary system of the State, and a
committee selected for the purpose of
preparing amendments to the constitu-
tion has been instructed to report at the
session of 1894. For this much we

In q letter written in response to an
invitation to deliver an address before
the Tammany Society in New York, on
the 4th of July, ex-President Cleveland
said:
q believe that Independence Day should be
celebrated with zeal and enthusiasm ny the old
and Young in every part of our land and in
every condition of American life. No man, wo-
man or child within the lin its of American cltl-
zenship should forget or outgrow the sent-
ments related to the observance of the Fourth
day of july
That is precisely what the DEMOCRAT
thinks about it. But we regret to say
that most of those who, in Opelousas
and st. Landry, aspire or even claim to
he the leaders, guides and guardians of
the people, appear to be of different
opinion.

Because a majority of the circuit
Judges elected by the legislature last
week were supporters of Gov. McEnery
at the last election, some of the Foster
organs are utterly demoralized and dis
gruutled, declaring that the recent
harmony" business at Baton Rouge
was a nero sham, that none but sup
porters of His Fraudulcncy should be
appointed to Office, etc, etc. Thus, as
the N. o. States correctly says, it ap-
pc, RS that the idea of harmony enter
tanned by the Foster faction was that
they should take everything in sight,
and that the whole duty of the McEn-
crytcs was to play the part of the poor
boy at the frolic. That has been the
spirit displayed by our beloved enemies
all through our factional wraDgles; and
now they are astounded aud disgusted
at The audacity of tho McEnery men in
getting single slice of the chicken pie.
Truly, the enlorscrs and condoners
of the most shameless piece of political
robbery that the world ever saw arc a
peculiar set!
