The Washington (La,) Argus changed
hands last week, and its new manager
at once inaugurated Il new and valuable
feature 10y making up column of Par
lsh News from the Opelousas papers,
! When We observed that in that column
was to be found more than twice as
much matter copied from the DEMOCRAT
! as from the other two combined, We
were not long in reaching tue conclusion
that the new manager was quite level
headed and knew good thing when he
saw 1t. In this weeks issue, extracts
from the DEMOCRAT are again quite nu-
merous (and interesting-of course), and
10 the local column we find the follow
ing very tlatteriug paragraph, which
stamps Mr.. Pipes successor as a gentle
man of keen discernment and lare dis
elimination
In our opinion the St Landry Opel
ousas) DEMOCRAT, l.. i. Sandoz editor
and owner, is the best ail-round local
paper published in the State. 1t is
rattllng, live newspaper, and the pride
OF st. Landry parish.
Of course, all our discriminating read
ers knew all this before, but they didn't
want.t to tell lis about it for fear of max
ing us " feel proud most people are
built that way. The price of subscrip-

The Anti-Options Bill.

Hon. Don Caffery took the oath of of
flee as United States Senator on Januar,
"A. His first vote was against the anti
option bill.-Ex.
Some of the anti-lottery newspapers
are disappointed at this vote and We
give below the opinions of two OF
them:
Alexandria Town Talk Senator Don
Gallery has taken bis seat in the United
States Senate, and his first vote was cast
In favor of motion made by those op-
posed to the anti-optiOn bill. We ex-
pected more of Don Caffery, the man
who thundered through ut the State
against the Louisiana Lottery, an ini-
quity which is as mole hill to noun
tain when placed alongside Of future
gambling.
Farmervile Gazette: Both of Lou
isiana's senators-White and Catfery-
are opposed to the anti-opton bill.
Gambling in the necessities of life is a
greater curse to the poorer classes than
was the lottery, and yet it looks like our
reform lawmakers are disposed to H.
cense that sort of gam bling.
cCHaloi tSt says: lie OIL VIII pass
and become law. Personally, | am bit
terly opposed to it, but that, | believe,
will be the outcome. SO far
am concerned | am willing to try the
proposed in the Hatch anti
options bill. 1t is alleged to be in the
interest of the farmer. don't believe
hat will be the outcome. The people
who most want it's passage and who
send lawyers and lobbyists here to aid
t are the millers and pork packers who
)uy the farmers produce. These men
want it because as a result they expect
0 buy wheat aud hogs cheaper than
hey do now. ! believe they are right,
md that the effect of this bill will be to
over the price of both wheat aud hogs.
t that is true, and these milIers and
packers are right, can't see where tue
'eneft to the farmers comes iu.''
