An Heroic Minister OF
Justice,

Some days since some tramp mer-
chants, who had stopped in Franklin
to dispose Of their shoddy auction
goods to the detriment of the old
resident storekeepers were called
upon by a body of men and ordered
to leave the parish within ten days.
Judge Allen and District Attorney,
M. 7. Gordy, Jr., upon learning OF
this called upon these prescribed
victims OF mob violence and offered
all the protection the law affords,
and the Judge calling together the
Grand Jury then specially charged
them in regard to this attempted
outrage.
The Picayune of Tuesday makes
the judges action the subject of an
editorial, and we append the closing
passages which compliment him in
glowing terms:--" What the Plea
yune particularly desires to do is to
call attention to the magnificent
courage, promptitude and love of
Justice manifested by Judge Allen.
He did not wait for the Grand Jury
and peace officers, with their war,
rants, indictments and other slow
proceedings, bnt took the lead 10 the
battle against laWlessness and white
cap deviltry. In one day this heroic
aad devoted magistrate has done
more to establish law and order in
bis district than could have been
done in q decade of court sittings.
lie has set an example and has built
a monument to the ministration oil
Justice which is worth a whole libra
~ OF musty mayams and precedents.f
The Times Democrat OF Wednes
day in a lengthy editorial also CON.
pliments the Judge and declares that
the State taight feel ashamed of The
affair, hut for the prompt and effect
i've action Of Judge Allen which
proves that while there are disorder'y
persons in the State lit also contains
a judge ~bo interferes at once to
suppress the conspirators aad a
public opinion which shows itself
opposed to violence and supports the
authorities ia s~uppressing and pre-.
Eeuting it."

As Gov. Foster was leaving AL

As Gov. Foster was leaving AL
exandria on the train for Shreveport
last week, some miserable wretch
threw q rock into the coach 10 which
the Governor was seated and came
near hitting hin. The rock struck
the conductor and wounded h IN
slightly. The Governor gathered
up the rock aud intends keeping it
as a memento. We suppose it will
be a more pleasant one to keep than
that gathered BY the conductor.

The business men of Franklin
assembled in mass meeting on Tues
day evening last and resolved Them
selves into a committee of the whole
and called upon q low class of tran
sieut peddlers who have squatted in
that town with their stock Of shoddy
and second hand goods, to prey upon
the unwary and ignorant mass of the
coIored population, during the winter
months when they have a little
money and to the detriment of the
resident merchants, and notified them
to yacate in ten days. The same
evil exists in New Iberia, and we
doubt not bat that it is likewise to
be found 10 all the towns in the
sugar district. The law encourages
these birds Of passage by giving
them fractional licenses and makes
no provision for taxing their stock,
80 that the resident merchant and
permanent citizen finds himself dis
eliminated against and seeks to
protect himself BY illegal methods.

The Lesson of Defeat.

of the triumphant party, the Democ-
racy can gather itself together once
more and ponder well:
rs this all that is left Of me?
What struck me?"
1t was indeed an avalanche that
shattered the airy, fairy superstruct-
ure in which u political menagerie
were roosting. Thank God, the old
rock bottomned foundation still
survivesi
To the enquiring mind there is
but one logical cause to be assigned
for the deplorable effect of the recent
election. The Republicans may
exultingly declare that it was free
trade, the populist that it was the
repeal Of silver coinage. But this is
all the veriest bosh and idle rot.
The Democratic party had not
touched the tariff. The Populists
who were the advocates of free
coinage were showed under SO deep
that the eternal suns Of the equator
wont thaw them out in a coon's age.
The Republican Encouragement and
class legislation extending over the
last quarter of O century has placed
the county ia a critical condition.
The people appreciate the fact that
| the devil generally is to pay with
everything, and without knowing the
exact cause, they by an inexorable
rule Of human action lay the blame
at the door Of the reigning dynasty
or party and slug it for all they
know how.
But really, could it well have been
otherwise? In New York the DEM
ocrats had put up a pieoald candidate
q self confessed criminal, for the high
Office of supreme justice, in spite Of
the earnest protests Of nearly every
prominently decent man in the State.
Ia New Jersey they were hand in
glove with a corrupt ring Of thieves
and tin horn gamblers. Iowa, Mass.
a%chusetts and Ohio are and have.
always been Republican States and
the change Of sentiment there does
not amount to much if Bill Mckinley
did get $4,000 plurality in Ohio.
Then gaze upon the sublime spec
tacle on exhibition in Washington
for 80 days previous to the election.
The Democrats ia power, The coun
try crying for relief. The relief
proposed by the administration. all
but denied, and only granted through
the aid of Republicans. Grave and
reverend old wind bags, paving the
air and talking nonsense against
time. The old ship of Demo cracy
with a busted rudder riding the
stormy waves Of panic and distrust,
almost on the rocks of ruin, and the
so.called statesmen divided in opin.
ion, wrangling in their dissentious
like a lot Of fshwomen. Gould a
sensible people be expected to do
otherwise than rebuke such internal
cussedness and j~ackassism?
When the Democratic party stands
for decency and good government.
when it stands in so lid phalanx, and
fires the shirkers and bnshwhackers,
it will march on to certain and glo-
rious victory. Let US DO up and
