1t is with more than ordinary pleasure
visit of Col. j. p. Sanford, The renowned
| traveller, lecturer and humolist, who
will deliver one OF lis most popular lee
lures here next week for the benefit OF
the public schools of Opelousas.
We once before took occasion to speak
of the propliety OF inviting him here.
and are now delighted to see that the
friends of education and OK inttllectua
enjoyment have prevailed on him to
lecture at the Cont House on Fri
day next, Goth inst. We respectfully
urge the people to tuIn out and give him
audience. hey will find that the little
money required to hear him will be well
and wisely spcnt-first, in the intelIec-
tual enjoyment they will realize, and
second, in the "ortblness Of the object
had in view for a right thinking peo-
pie must know that if ignorance be the
mother Of vice and crime, education is
the only reliable and real panacea.
Opelousas is now awaking from the
sleep of more than half century. From
every point of view its future is bright
ening in the vision, and it we but act
lively take the tide at its flood the day is
not remote when its population may be
quadrupled, its intelligence and refine
ment made equal to that OF any city, and
its wealth increased to incalculable Opu-
lence. We need the practice of more
we'll directed liberality. The gratifua-
ton of the carnal appe1itcs is not the
highest purpose ana destiny of man
God created him lord of all, and quail
fed him for it BY the endowment of
mind and reason. These attributes are
characterized by progress among all en-
lightened peoples. They cannot afford
to remain stationary. The worlds mot.
to is progress, and to secure it every
available means should be accepted and
made use of.
Some of the most edifying and in
structive books vo have are comp;la~
tions of lectures. We have read some
of the very highest testimonials Of Col.
Sanford's excellence as a lecturer, ard
therefore feel quite safe in saying to our
readers that they should hear him. The
opportunity is rare and should not be
lost.
1t the people be true to themselves
there exists no reason why Opelousas
should not become renowned seat of
learning in the near future. The signs
are all encouraging. Let US put cur en-
ergics in the work, by concert Of action
gather rays Of light from every avail.

SEATTLE. SATURDAT. NAY 10.
OF THE CHINESE.

, If the Chinese laborer is arrested by any
of the authorities specified in the Geary
statute he must be taken before a United
States Judge. If that judge finds that the
.laborer has not procured certificate
within one year from the 5th of May, 1892,
and has not the excuse of sickness or other
unavoidable impediment mentioned by
the statute. the judge must order his de-
portation from the country, in the manner
provided. But while this is the inevita-
BILE course after the arrest, the law says
only that the iaborer may be arrested, and
not that he must be.
Because the law is not mandatory as to
the arrest the government could within
its discretion give the Cinnamon few
days of grace while the question of the
constitutionality Of the law is pushed to
final settlement before the United States
supreme court.
