RALLY DEMOCRATS, RALLY.
OF LAFOURCHE.

The Democratic Congressional
Committee for the Third Congression-
al District met last Saturday in New
iberia and called a convention of
Democrats of the Third District to
meet in Houma, on Wednesday, Octo-
Der 3rd, 1894. at 2 o'clock p. m.
The Democratic Parish Central
Committee has called a mass meeting
for the selection of delegates to that
convention, lis will be seen by report
of its proceedings in another column.
1t is therefore time tor the Demo-
Gratis of L%afourclle to rally and join
hands with the Democrats of the Dis
trict for the coming struggle. AL
ready the Republicans are actively
at work, encouraged by the threatened
detection of some sugar planters, and
the indications are that we will again
have n of the old times radical fights
when William Pitt Kellogg led his
black cohorts in the district to Veto
ry. In spite of the protestations OF
the sugar planters with Republican
procllvities, that the race issue is
dead, that the negro will play no part
in the coming campaign, every
thoughtful mar knows that in the
very nature Of things the old hatreds
and animosities that were nearly dead
Will revive just as soon as the negro
is invited to play ar important part
iii the coming election. To what ex-
tent of strife and turmoil the cam
paign will lead as, no one can yet
f~oretell /; but certain it is that a great
struggle is on hand and Democrats
should rally around the old standard
which they have Sc CALAMITY carried
to victory so often in the past and de-
fend it to the last. Let no man talter.
The threatened bolt menaces not only
the present with dire calamity but al
sc the future. The success of tie Re-
publican party to day means success
in 1896 and perhaps for many years
to come. The success of the Repub-
lican party means the reintroduction
of the negro as an important factor in
the politics of the State and a return
to the strife ard turmoil out of which
the State has scarcely emerged.
Let Democrats stand firm by their
colors and fight for their supremacy
and the peace, quiet and order of tie
State to the last. Let all those who
can attend the mass meeting and send
staunch Democrats to the Houma
Convention. Let them awaken to
che danger which threatens the Dis

WEEK ENDING MONDAY SEPT. 3, I94.

The weather of the past week aver
aged several degrees warmer than usu-
al in Louisiana at this easOn of the |
year gave a good amount of sun
shine, and gave unequaliy distributed
showers that ranged between an IN
appreciable quantity IN some locall-
ties to as much as three inches in 9TH
ers-the section receiving the great
est rainfall being the southwest par
isles, extending into the lower Red
River valley. The following are the
r~ainfalls specially reported by tele-
graph from selected stations for tie
week ending at 5 p. III. of September

These conditions have favored cot
ton in the north and east portions OF
the state and the picking of the sta
pie is novifair generally and hollis are
opening rapidly. A great deal of rust
and shedding is reported and the gen
elal opinion of correspondents that
there has been a marked decrease in
condition from the anticipations of a
month ago While estimates OF dam
ace from various causes call forth
large reductions in tie percentages OF
the yield expected from the great ma
.jority of correspondents, yet there Is a
minority who claim that the condition
of the crop in their several localities
warrant the belief that as good a yield
will be secured as in 1898, and some
place the estimate ever higher.
Cotton is opening rapidly under the
present favorable weather ar d is being
gathered in good condition. Worms
and caterpillars are reported as lrJur-
ing the staple in localities.
Late corn, Irish potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes. pastures and other small crops
are doing we'll. The corn crop is be-
ing gathered but rain interferes with
tins work in the south central and
south west parishes, and in these lat
ter sections rice cutting and hay har-
v~esting has also been interfered with
from a like cause.
Cane continues in a fourishing con-
dition !; maintains Its good color and
is growing finely despite continued
wet weather in a great part OF the su'
gar belt.
Harvesting of rice is progressing and
the yield is promising. Some planters
have completed cutting and stacking
has commenced in the southwest.

What has a Democrat to gain by
into the Republican party and
voting that ticket There is no poll
teal position of the Republican party
so plainly marked out as its devotion
to free sugar.
Their speeches aud their votes in
Congress prove this beyond cavll.
Their great boast is that they have
placed sugar on the free list and given
the people a free breakfast table"
There is NOT a shadow OF hone that
that party will place any duty upon
sugar should they be restored TO pow
er.
Can any sane man suppose that they
would vote a bounty upon sugar
again Tie rebuke which they re-
ceived in 1890 from the voters in the
United States will net be forgotten by
their leaders. Is there a single can
didate. be he Republican,, Democrat
or PoDulist, for election to Congress
in November next, that will dare sus-
tain the bounty system, outside OF the
sugar sections
When the Republicans put sugar

~ upon the product. they did it,

An excursion party with eight coach
es left here last Sunday morning for
st. Martinsville. After a pleasant and
interesting ride, the train arrived at
its destination about one o'clock. The
reception given by the people of st.
M~artinsville to the excursionists sur
passed that of any ever received upon
similar occasions.
As the train rolled in the cannon
doomed. and the bands played, whilst
1000 men and wcmen awaited the de-
barkation of the visitors to tender the
hand of hospitality and cordial well
come. A large dancing platform was
erected. near which was an elevated
stand for the speakers and the bands.
a large streamer was extended in
front bearing the inscription III large
letters. "Welcome."
An excellent dinner awaited the
Firemen under whose supervision the
Excursion was given.
The various sights and curjosities of
this quaint old town on the banks of
the Teche were visited by the excur-
sionists with much interest aud salts
faction.
st. Martinsyille is quite an old town
built by the Acadian exiles and their
descendants, all buildings being con
! ~structed in the primitive style of that
period. 1t is shaded with numerous
oaks and groves giving a pictur esque
view to the traveller. The writer
passed the afternoon in company with
the venerable Judge Simon. who pre-.
sided over the Judicial District Court
Of the parish of Lafourche IS years
ago he pointed out the oak under
whose shadows the lover OF Evangelire
Tilted his sweetheart for another, and
the grave in which her body awaits
the resurrection Of the dead.
The story runs that Evangeline, who
bore a less euphonioeS anne was the
! sweetheart of Gabriel whose real name
was Alcenean and who resided in the
prailies ear Lafayette. Arcenean,
ike lovers of the present day frequent
ly do, found some girl who pleased
him better, and when he net Evange
Inc under The historic oak, he made
his pertidy known. The fursaken girl
died of grief aud was buried in the
rear of the Catholic Church.
From this little romance Longfellow
wove his immortal poem, and rendered
famous in song. the beautiful valley
OF the Teche aud its early settlers.
