AMERfKA's EXPOSE.

THERE is something OF difference
between what a Polander can learn
from anAmerican land what an Amer
lean can learn from Polander. The
first impressions made upon the for
mer as he sets his foot upon the soil
of 'sthis land of the free and home of
the brave" are those of extravaganza
and fast living, and the slavery of
debasing social customs. He is con-
fronted with political intrigue and
party chicanery, that have no concern,
in common, with the workingmen
and the masses. He is Mortified at so
much poverty of the mind and of the
pocketbook in this republic, ,urequal
led for educational and industrial
resources.
What an American can learn from
Polander is something quite diff
ferent. Industry and Enterprise, hon
esty and frugallty, are written upon
Polish passports to success and hap.
piness in this country. The Polan-
ders come with wives and children,
and with hearts filled with desire
to labor and to wait, and with love
for the pure air Of liberty. They labor
earnestly with the mind, hand and
heart. In short time they have their
own homes, teaching Americans how
to save their earnings, and to
know the loftiest conception
of the most valuable citizen
ship. Visit their homes and
heart must be of stone if not touched
with feelings of pure humanity. The
answer is given to the question, els
marriage a failure?" Father and
mother ana children are happy and
contented in a home prayerful and
their own. Such lesson reaches the
skies with it's gladstone tidings.LetA A
mericans learn well the Polish lessons
of industry and economy, ,and how to
become taxpayer and more USE
full citizen. Let them not overlook
the light of love and sweet charity
peering through doors and windows
of happy homes. Heed the voice of
loyalty to home, God, and country.
This charity and humanity of the
Polish race has been told and sung for
centuries. The patriotism and sublim-
ity of Polish song, that make glad
the very angels Of Heaven, strike
terror to Russia, Austria and Germa-
ny,and they are unheard in either of
these countries by order of each gov.
ernment. Russia and Germany not
only do this but force the respective
languages, upon their Polanders, at
the exclusion of their own nat
ural tongue. How different this gov
ernmental attitude, from the char
itv towards nations and races, Po-
land had in the days of her proud
sovereignty. When every country
drove out the Jews, Poland took them
in,and cared for them,and gave them
lands,and equal privileges of indust-
ry and good citizenship. Let us con-
tinue to learn more of Our Polish fel-
low citizens. !

IT may not be generally known
that julius Verne, the distinguished
novelist, is Polander. His correct
name is Olszewicz. He was born in
Warsaw and emigrated to France
when IL years of age. After finishing
his education, he held a position as
clerk in the French Department OF
the Treasury, and at that time CON-
menced to write novels. The Com.
maercioz of this city failed to give us
this information though it had several
columns on this literary celebrity.

TOLEDO people can we'll feel proud
Of AMERYKA. It had an humble be-
ginning, but definite policy frc m
the start. 1t has never been slow to
defend the laboring mans interests
as against the schemes, intrigue and
adverse policies of political parties
or class organizations of any and all
kinds. 1t is the working mans friend.
1t is the only Polish paper in the
United States strictly neutral upon
the subject of religion. 1t is indepen.
dent in politics, and thoroughly a
newspaper. To-day it is the largest
and best Polish paper in this country.
1t has larger circulation than any
other. Compared with English papers
of Toledo and Northwestern Ohio, it
is equal to any, and surpasses many,
in business prosperity, and position
in the journalistic world. But let it
never be forgotten,th first, last and
always, AMERYKA is the proud de-
fender of the Polish people in partic-
ular and the masses in general.

row and made prominent the state
ment that several Polanders were the
participants. The fact is, there was
no Polish row at all. There may have
been row and number before and
since but not by Polanders. Let it be
understood that, in the light of nu
merical representation, there is less
rowdyism, less "bumming," less loaf
ing, and less crime among Polish
people, than is register I'd against any
other race. A papers Instrumentation
against certain portion of honora BILE
American citizens, must react very
soon. OF dominant races, there are
thousands of admirers who recognize
the Polanders' identification with the
best industry, enterprise, and sub
stantial worth of our cities and coun.
try at large.

The cheapest man o. the Toledo
Commercial tries hard to amuse him
self and weary small part Of the pub
lic,in weak endeavors to write down
the Polish contingent of Toledo.
Behind ,acm-de.plunae we discern
his ignorance, ill-timed ridicule, and
chameleon personality. His delusive
and untruthful trash about Polish So
ciety and habits, we referred to last
week. This vain and gigantic liar
now bobs up again and over diff
ferent name praises himself and his
former article in Fridays CONNER
cial. He styles himself Polander-a
veritable ass would have fitted better.
Some of these fine mornings he will
awake to the sickening echoes of his
silly brayings. Now utterly devoid
of truth and honor, he may some day
find himself without a job,o enough
to make even free lunch available.

By the sudden death odJacob Tan
ner, from heart disease, Toledo loses
one of her old and honorable citizens.
The least that can be said of the de-.
ceased is, that he was a loving hus-
band and father, a good neighbor
and an upright man. Polish people
of this city held him in high regard
for mis- goodness and kindness of
heart. He was the father of G.. A.
Tanner:manager of the Toledo News
Publishing Co., and Frank H. Tan
ner, treasurer and assistant manager
of the Northwestern Elevator and
Mill Co., of this city.

RAILROADS in Russia are operated
by the government. 1t matters little
what railroad men understand about
railroading,but every one must speak
the Russian language, even to those
who don't understand a word of the
language. Few days ago the follow
ing took place: A Polander, employed
as conductor, met his wife at the de.
pot at Warsaw, capital of Poland.
His wife did not understand word of
Russian, and a gendarme was watch
ing the poor conductor to see if he
were going to speak Polish. If he had
spoken it, the gendarme would have
had him arrested. In order to satisfy
Russian ''law," the conductor had to
speak Russian, and the gendarme in
terpreted his words into Polish for
his wife. This is only one case out
Of thousands of similar happenings.

Last Monday on the arrival of the after
noon train, Marshal Bradley noticed white
young man, a stranger, seemingly in dis
trcss, talking with S. NJ. Smith one of the
sharks that have been infesting the neigh
borhood of the depot. AS soon as Smith
saw the marshal he took shelter. Upon be-
ing questioned by the marshal the young
man stated that Smith had aPrroch him, and
finding out thathe was out of work, offered to
introduce him to a doctor, across the way, who
would give him work. The offer was eager
ly accepted, but the doctor did not happen to
be present. By the slick methods known &c
those gentry, he was inveigled in game OF
cards, and, of course, lost his money. Smith
was arrested, brought before the authorities
and ordered to leave, and he did. Th'
marshal says that he intends to break up thu
| nefarious business if it takes all summer ant
| The Gazette believes he will.

IN ASSURED FACT.

1t may be remembered that two
weeks since The Gazette called at
t.ntion to the formation of The
Teche Railroad and Sugar compa-
nv and that it was the fixed purpose
of the gentlemen at its head to
build, at an early day, a railroad
from Huron plantation, on Bayou
Teche, to Carencro. That the
company mean to carry out thell
intentions The Gazette has all along
believed, and we are happy to note
that it is coming.
Through the courtesy of that pub
Iic-spirited citizen, Mr.. Roman
Francez, we have in our possession
a letter, written to that gentleman
by MIR. S. A. Knapp, the moving
spirit in the projected railroad
wherein the information is sough

Last Sunday the Times-Democrat
published short biography of Gen
eral Alexander Declouet which
was eagerly read by the many friends
of this lamented chivalric gentle
man, whose thoughts, time and
means were ever so unselishly de-
voted to his people. In career
covering part of a period that was
fraught with SO many threatening
dangers to our constitutional liberty
the Generals pen and voice were
ever ready to defend uphold and en-
courage them. His life was full o.
honors; not the least speck eve
rested on the bright escutcheon o
his long life. The writer who
enjoyed the privilege of hi
acquaintanceship, can truthfully sa
that he was a kind, generous an
charitable man. The necessarll
short biography, limited to tn
columns of newspaper, while in
complete, furnishes an example c
what unselfsh and high aims ca
accomplish.

The people of Lafayette know
that their parish is highly favored
spot; favored in climate, favored in
the fertility of its soil, favored in all
that goes to create contentment and
prosperity. They know that the re-
sources of her soil is susceptible OF
producing raw material that can be
manufactured into many articles of
food and clothing. They are united
in the determination that those re-
sources must be developed, and with
this determination maintained the
fruition of their hopes is but ques-
ton of short time.

THE FORMdN CASE.

The case of the State of Louisiana |
versus Willie Forman, charged with
the murder of ]. G. Bertrand, at
Duson, some months ago, and
which, upon the first trial, at the
term Of court before this, resulted
in disagreement of the jury, was
brought up last Monday, and after
a trial lasting two days and the best
part of a night, resulted in verdict
of manslaughter, with a recommen-
dalton of mercy attached.
The particulars of the case are so
well known to the readers of The
Gazette that it would be waste of
time to again go over the details.
The case had attracted much at
tention, in view of the alleged des-
perate reputation of the accused,
coupled to the proclaimed state
ment that on account of large
family connections, itwould be, as
it had been in the past, well nigh
impossible for the State to secure a
conviction, when one of the For
mans are concerned. The district
attorney laid particular stress upon
this point, and made forcible ar
gument of his side of the case.
The following is the jury: Mar
tiaI Billaud, foreman; Charles Bill
e laud, Louis Deleglise, Henry Els
swein, Albert Liable, Hazard Der
nard, 1. N. Satterfield, Armanc'
Guilbeau, g. Abbadie, Augusta
Liable, T. Estilette, VIM. Dura
(colored.)
1t appears that this young mai
has been up Before the authorize
many times, for number of offense
and among them were two accuse
tons of murder. Upon trial of the
first he was acquitted.
All this trouble can be traced t.
the reprehensible habit of carryin
weapons. Had Willie Forman an
Columbus Spell left their pistols
home it is probable that ]. G.. Bel
trand would be living today, an
Columbus Spell would have bee
saved the suffering caused by tn
two wounds he received, and Will
Forman, instead of now being o
the Threshold of the penitentiar
where long stay may await hin
would be in the bosom of his fam
ly,. solace and JOY, and spare thel
the consequent disgrace entailed b
an act, that would not have bee
committed if that pistol had bee
left at home.

(z) terminal facilities at Carencro;
Ia the amount of cane that
can be purchased at Carencro with
the agreement that the road shall be
completed in time to take the cane.
To the first question, as we stated
before, there is no difficulty what
ever existing in regard to securing
the sright of way" the second Mr..
Francez. has definitely settled by
donating sufficient land for depot
purposes, and to the third, the plan
tiers we are sure, will be able to de-
liver enough cane to satisfy the
wishes of Mr.. Knapp.
In year or two from the present
an acreage in cane will be cultivated
sufficient to demand increased manu-
featuring facilities, which will I'M
doubleday be met, hence, this viii
necessitate the erection of large re
finery in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Carencro, and for this lat
ter purpose, Mr.. Francez stand
ready to donate the land necessary

Judge Felix VOORHEES,.

The Gazette was pleased to receive
Tuesday a cal from its friend, Felix Voor-
HES, Judge of the zIst Judicial District com,
posed of the parishes of St. Martin and Iberia
who was on a short visit here to friends and
relatives.
Since his encumbency of the position
Judge VOORHEES, has demonstrated his ability
for quick and thorough work. When he as
eended the bench about year ago he
found an encountered docket with between
,so to 400 cases, criminal and civil, but that
fact did not seen to give him much concern,
inasmuch as he began with vim that has
accomplished SO much.
To-day there arc no cases pending in St.
Martin, and in Iberia, but few, and these
will be disposed of at the next term of court.
As an illustration of the expiditiousness
of his work we have only to state that at the
| last term of court in iberia, he decided 45
cases and disposed of IS. creditable re-
cord and one which any officer would be
proud of.
Judge VOORHEES, in also literateur, whose
writings have received .f1attering mention b,
some of the literary men of Paris, and als'
by the Athenee Louisianais. The judg'
has received, on several occasions, offers t.
publish his writings but has invariably re
fused. The Gazette trusts that the gentle
man will reconsider his refusal, because !
has had the good fortune 10 enjoy the peru
sal of many of them, and 1T believes the,
would prove interesting and enjoyable to tn
general public.

EACH WILL HAVE ONE.

There is room for sugar refneries
and several other manufacturing en-
terprises, in the several towns of the
parish. And each of these towns,
The Gazette makes bold to predict,
will have one or more, in course OF
time-and the time is limited only
TO the energy and enterprise dis
played by the people.
Appearances indicate that Caren-
Gro will be the first to land facto-
ry, although not long ago rumors
were rife to the effect that two gen
tleman of means, and residents o.
the neighborhood, had joined thei1
capital for the purpose of erecting
a refinery within a mile or so o
Broussardville, but it failed to ma
terialize owing to one of the gen
tleman failing to come to time.
The Gazette thinks that if tn
acreage now devoted to the cultiva
ton of cotton was put in cane, tn
tonnage would be enough to Civ
a refinery, in each town, their flu
quota of work.
Now. then, let US show desir
to rise up William Riley, and say t
each other, come along and let's tr
our best, and with such thoughts an
mating each one the result, in fe
years, will be marvellous.
