Louisiana Is a pecullarly y cOnsti-
tuted state. South Louisiana grows
sugar and sugar demands protection.
North louisiana grows cotton excIu-
sively and gets and asks no protection
South Louisiana is largely Catholic
and the Catholic Church wants the
school funds collected from the poo
pie to 90 to the SUPPORT Of the pub
lie schools and not to the support Of
the free public school taking in them
the children Of all religious den0mina-
lions. North Louisiana is largely
protestant and wants all the money
to go to the support Of the public
schools. On the recent vote Of the
Wilson bill the Congressmen Of Lou
isiana divided just as the interests
sugar or cotton are represented
by theln. The Videtto predicts that
next fail, ornot later than 1896, South
Louisiana will vote the Republican
ticket. Mer Rouge Vldette
We think there is little doubt Of
this especially if Senator Catfery
fails Of reelection.
Aud mark the attitude Of the Re
publican Legislators, see if they don't
support him, to a man. There is
more in this than the brief article
from the Vidette tells. The Democrat
ic party in this State is in oar opinion
in great danger, for while our people
have been watching the course Of the
Louisiana Appeal, Town Talk, Sabine
Banner, and The PRoGBEss to dis
cover il the charges Of Populism
which were made against them by
their political enemies, was true;
their accuser5, under this conceal
ment, have been giving expression to
Republican doctrine at will, until now
in their zeal for the sugar interests
they are talking in manner that
would make Reed, Mckinley and
Sherman smile.
