The jews, who for centuries were
p%ersecuted because of their race and
religion. are registering in New York
and States in the West against the
A. p. A. which seeks to revive persecu-
ton against them in this country.
Perhaps for the first time in the politi-
cal history of the world the Jews and
the Catholics, who are both under the
A. p. A. ban, are battling in a common
cause, and every fair-minded American
citizen who believes in religious
freedom and tolerance, and in the con-
stitution Of his country should also
wage war against the American Protec-
tive Association and the Republican
party that created it. The glorious old
Democratic party, whose great men
framed the Federal Constitution, the
party that to-day believes as firmly as
ever in the freedom of the press and
religion, and in free speech. should in
November win a splendid victory over
the party that begets class legislation,
bigotry and intolerance, and the States
is confident that it will.-N. O. States.

sOn Thursday we received a fine lot of
Oonshin oranges from the Mount Hope
Nursery accompanied by the following
note: I've herewith hand you some
Japanese Oonshin oranges gathered
from trees in our nursery. These or
'anges grow well in Southwest Louisi-
ana, aud bear good crops when only
three years planted. This fruit can be
grown profitably in Louisiana anywhere
south Of latitude $50. We have been
testing these oranges Tor six years, and
they have never been injured by the
cold. We shall now plant the trees
largely to grow fruit for market. We
sell the fruit and trees.

Reform Sentiment in the South,


One good effect of the repeal of the
Federal election laws is already seen
in tue growing demand Of the South
erD people for honest election under
State laws. This is precisely what wac
expected and predicted by the advo-
Gates OF repeal. So long as outside
authority was interfering, often most
Extensively, human nature prompted
resentment of such meddling and pub
lie sentiment would not convict offend
ers. Now that the responsibility is
thrown back upon the people of each
more ready to admit the possibility Of
frauds in the past and to protest
against a repetition of them in the
future. There has never been a time
when the outlook for honest elections
in the South was so bright as since the
repeal of the worse-than-nseless Fed
eral laws on the subject.-N. Y. Even

The Baton Rouge Advocate has at
last discovered that the New Orleans
States is q true blue. heart of oak DEM
ocrat, and vas kind enough the other
day to say 30. Why, bless your soul,
this is no news !; it is ancient history.
The States has always been true 40
steel to the party, aud its gallant fight
against the sugarcrats, anent which the
Advocate paid it IL compliment the
other day, is regarded by people who
know it and its record as the most
natural thing in the world-a mere
matter of course. The fact is, the
States is always right-barring, per-
haps, its strange infatuation with
Cleveland and it's equally strange anti
patby to Hill-and from the time when,
early in the seventies, it's brilliant
editor made the Red River valley
res0und with his fervent appeals TO the
white men of the State to assert their
manhood and to take the reins Of gov
erDment into their own hands at any
cost, he has occupied q warm place in

man who is acquainted with his gallant,

On Tuesday morning at about 1
O'Clock the fire bells rang out their
dread alarm and soon the streets were
filed with excited citizens who found
the large and elegant residence of
DR.. r. NJ. Littell enveloped in flames.
Very little besides the piano and some
of the best furniture was saved, as the
exceedingly dry lumber burned with
frightful rapidity and the scarcity of
water precluded all efforts to retard or
check the ravages of the fire fiend. The
house and contents were insured
through Thompson & Mays, local
agents, for $4,000, but the loss ia much
greater. The DR.. has the warmest
sympathy Of his many friends in his
distressing loss.

The Elections Next Tuesd Sv,

While we in st. Landry and in the

has been raging ia the first, second and
