Should be Removed.

A vice that is Haunted with i'm
punity and coarse boldness in the
face of a community must be curbed
and restricted to limits whereby its
presence cannot contaminate either
the sight, or permit the birth of
thoughts that can have but i'll results
While some vices are passed upon
lightly, because it is thought to be a
necessary one, in no wise gives that
vice the power to render itself often
sive-when it reaches that stage it
must be suppressed. We have in
ment in a variegated house, within a
Brobdinag enclosure. 1t should be
removed to more isolated quarters.

FAR ELECTIONS.

Several of our State exchanges
have, of late, touched upon the
question of elections, and have adj
vanced the request that the commit
tee appointed recently and soon tC
convene to revise the constitution,
take up the subject, alleging that
IN the past twenty-five years there
has not once been a fair election in
the State.
With this sweeping declaration
The Gazette does not agree, but is
free to confess its belief that there
has been some illegal voting in a
few parishes. For such cases the
laws on our statute books sufficient
1y provides to prevent their recur-
renee. If a man presents himself
at the ballot box and deposits his
vote, of which some person
knows that he has no right, under
the laws, to do, and would report
the fact-as his duty Of citizenship
demands-to the law officers, who,
H-they are officers that respect their
oaths, will see that the lille
gal voter is brought UP be-
fore the legal tribunals, and it
is further incumbent that the know
ledge held be given before jury
If the evidence is clear, then upon
the shoulders of the jurymen will
lay the responsibility to place an
elective check upon the illegal vo-
ter. And no mock sentiment, or
high and extended family connec-
tions should be allowed to intervene
20 cheat the laws,
# this be done, we feel certain
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1893-08-05
that the cry of unfair elections shall
never more be heard.
4 BURNING OUzR.IGE.

The hope is fervent and general
that the waiting rooms in the new
depot-one for the white, and the
other for the colored people-be
thrown open at the earlies: possible
time, because as it is now it is a
source of great aggravation to the
white people.
Last Monday party of colored
people, male and female, invaded
the waiting room, and a number of
them made. themselves SO decidedly
obnoxious by the smoking of the
most vile smelling tobacco, that
three white ladies and children were
compelled to leave the room. At
present there is but one waiting
room for the use of the general pub
lie, and the darky with his we'll
known prediction to grab an ell
when given an inch, in such kindred
Matters is not slow in making his
odorous presence felt For the con-
dition of affairs which makes pos
sible such outrageous incidents no
blame can be attached to the local
officials. The opening of the doors
of the waiting rooms will prevent
the recurrence of such scenes in the
future.

To The Public.

For seventeen years I have been
in Lafayette engaged in the jewelry
and watch repairing business. have
tried to attend strictly to my bust
ness, to give satisfaction, and not to
interfere iilegitimately with Others 1t
has come to my knowledge, that in
terested parties have circulated a
rumor that intended to quit bust
ness, selling all my goods prepare
tory to leaving. This is to say, there
is no fonRdation to the 'rumor and
parties knowing me will place no
confidence in the report put in cir
culation for my injury.
Respectfully,

Some years ago Mr.. A. Brewer resigned
position as engineer on the Southern
Pacific railroad, and returned to his farm
three miles from town, and Mr.. Brewer has
no reason to regret the change, inas,nuch as
he has demonstrated the fact that The Gazette
has repeatedly advanced, that it is possible
to live on a farm not only contentedly but
have the best of every thing in the line of
wholesome food. Mr.. Brewer cures his own
hams, without the least trouble, making the
family provision and selling some rs well as
lard to his neighbors. He cans his own
peaches taken from his orchad, and he also
makes nice palatable wine. In short he
raises every thing he uses on his farm, except
flour and coffee and all this goes to show
that SO conducted farming pays in this parish
What he is doing can be done by any farmer
in this highly favored parish

but .hink he vii, side with the senator's, and
more's the pity:
Both our senators opposed to inter-
fering with the sale Of futures, and will not
question the honesty of their convictions;
bnt in our judgement most of the prostration
which has fallen upon the planting products
may be traced to the monopolistic and gil
gantic trusts. The Cotton Exchange fixes tn :
price of cotton before the seed in the grounl.
Look at those who compose the Cotton Ex-
change and attend the sales just for one
day and you can come to no other conclu
sion than the cotton crop is at the mercy Of
spectators. With mojorlty in Congress
opposed to these monopolsts, the bill to kill

be hoped that patriotism, integrity and the
interest of the hardworking laborng man
will prevail over bribery this winter. We
believe that Blanchard and Robertson will

IT Would PAI

The Gazette has many times
called attention to the certain profit
that would accrue to capital in the
operation of refinery near this
town We showed that it would not
only enrich the farmers contiguous
to, but would place large amount
of money in circulation, in town,
instead of good part of it being
engulfed in the capacious maws OF
the city commission merchant. The
amount included in freight, commits
sion, brokerage, and other charges
taken out of the produce shipped to
the city, which in the aggregate
amounts to considerable sum,
would be kept at home, and all
would participate in the benefits that
a larger volume of money would
bring.
That The Gazette had grasped
the situation in its expressed views
that refinery would pay a hand
some return on the amount invested
is evidenced by the fact that Messrs-
F. Lombard, c. A. Mouton, J.. b.
DuPuis, S. Soigne, A. Cayard. T.
S. Singleton, and Mesdames J. ].
Revil1on, and S. r. Wallis, have
contracted to deliver and sell their
cane, representing some 5, 900 tons,
(and all cultivated in the Creighton
switch neighborhood) to refinery
IN CyPremort for $4.25 cents ton
at the switch, or S4.75 a ton deliv-
cred at the refinery. The highest
price paid last season was 1913 a
ton. At S4-75 ton there is big
money to be made in the cultivation
OF the sugar cane, and if the Cypre-
mort refinery can pay that price,
one right at our doors could pay as
much if not more. These figures
appeal to our people to take steps
to- invite capital to come and help
US build refinery, and take part in
the profits that will surely result
For purpose of this kind the
people of Lafayette can and should
put up at least $40, 900 which need
not necessarily be given as bonus,
But can be invested in stock, and
It should not be difficult matter to
get the remaining amount necessary
to build the refinery.
There is plenty of money in the
but with the known timi-
dity of holders to invest without |
assurances of safety, it will
not come. but an offer to subscribe
IN stock the amount we have men
toned, would tend to allay any
fears capital could have. and thus
assure the active cooperation of the
people.
1t is in the power of the people to
have refinery here if they really
want it. But it is not going to come
and unaided.

The Gazette was afforded the op-
portunity to visit that section of the
country west of Breaux Bridge
covering an area Of M any miles, and
was pleased to notice the magnificent
conditioned the crops. Some fields
were more intelligently cultivated
than others, consequently some
crops were more promising than
others. but there was not a patch
along the whole route that can be
called poor. With anything like
fair prices for their products our
farmers ought to have good sized

comm odity heretofore decidedly
