ANANIAS ON DECK.

The subjoincd piece Of menda-
city is found printed in the Lake
Charles COMMERCIAL paper,
whose standard of veracity has
greatly declined since the death
of that upright old gentleman,
John Mccormick, who would ne
YER have fathered such SANDER.
According to the statement OF
visiting drummers," says this base
imitator of Ananias, "the dry rot"
prevails in st. Martinville."
Is it meant "dry rot in the gen.
eral decay of the buildings? If so,
the staring facts will prove this
malicious falsehood.
Is it meant "dry rot" in the COM
mcrcial and manufacturing bust
ness of the town? If SO, the re-
Gently published bank statement,
and the daily large volume of
goods received by our merchants
disproves this averment.
Is it meant "dry rot" in the gen.
eral health of the people? Or is
the impression sought to be con-
veyed that there is prevalent
cutaneous disease? If so, it is
probably based on the report pu-
blished some years ago by the
Board of Health. Admitting that
that report was well founded, we
emphatically state that the three
cases reported have disappeared.
With population of 1000 souls,
and as many more within radius
of mile, four physicians, and one
doing but little practice, are ample
to attend to the needs of the peo-
pie. In fact, not one of them is
making more than a living. This
is the best proof as to the general
health of the people. Consequent
ly upon the score of health we are
exceptionally fortunate.
The idea is strongly intrenched
in our mind, that this Islander was
concocted in the malicious brain
! of the writer. If not, let him
name a single drummer that has
made the lying statement. He
says visiting drummers;" let him
name but one or else stand as ma
licious slanderer.

1.-THE Virtue OF Fools.'

Political inconsistency is fam
ously illustrated by recent occur
rences: The party calling itself
democratic recently won a famous
victory on a platform demanding
tariff for revenue only, and de-
nouncing protection as a fraud;
and yet, with an overwhelming
majority in Congress, no sugges-
ton of a tariff for revenue only"
has been made, but the party has
spent nearly year trying to pass
a protective tariff" The party
calling itself republican, boosted
for four years that by putting su-
gar on the free list they had given
the American people cheap sugar;
butwhen the democrats propose
to put sugar on the free list, every
republican in the House of Repre-
sentatives voted against it. The
mud-sill of democratic doctrine
since the formation of the party
has been "a strict construction of
the constitution" and yet more
than one Texas c0npressiona1 con-
vention of the party has voted
down resolutions reiterating that
doctrine. The real principles of
all parties, as evinced by their
works-which is more easily un-
derstood than stradling planks in
double-headed platforms is spoils.
Principles are all right on paper,
but in practice a fat office goes
'muce further and must faster.

A. M. HARGIS.

At twelve o'clock Saturday night
tho 25th of Aug. Mr.. A. M. Hargis
died, after several days Of painful
suffering.
He was taken sick just about
fifteen days ago, and Immediately
dsseloped symptoms that were
grave and gave apprehension to
his attending physicians. All that
science and the kind ministration
of parents and friends could do to
relieve his suffering failed, and the
disease kept on its deadly work.
Mr.. Hargis resided on the st
John plantation where he was en-
pluyed as clerk and book-keeper
in the plantation store.
His father, mother and sister
were at his bedside when he died.
His body was taken to Thibo-
deaux Sunday, and buried in the
Catholic cemetery at that place.
Several of the many friends he
had made in this parish accom-
panied his remains to. their last
resting place.
Mr.. Hargis who was aged only
a years was a resident of this
parish for several years, and dur
ing that time had made a friend
of every person he had come in
contact with. He was of a good,
sweet disposition, kind, genteel
and good to every one, and was
loved and respected by all those
who had a chance to appreciate
his noble and honorable qualities.
He was dutiful son, a loving
brother and a true friend.
Alcide, we deplore your untilne-
" death, it has cast a shadow of
gloom over the entire community
and every one of your numerous
friends offers prayer for the re-
pose of your soul-Peace to you
Alcide!

Of all the cotton that goes to
the great markets, our American
product reaches it's destination in
the worst condition. 1t is a dis
grace to our superior civilization
that Egypt, India, South America,
and even Africa, should place their
cotton in European markets in
neat, clean bales fully covered and
firmly banded, while those from
America can be identified by their
ragged, bursted, and dirty appear
ance. This slovenly habit of ours
costs several millions dollars an
nually, and ought to be speedily
amended. Farm and Ranch.

SUGAR under the new tariff bill
will yield to the government from
$43, 100000 TO s4S, 100000 annual
ly. We say after this year, from
the fact that the sugar trust has
bought up and now has on hand
all the surplus sugar of the world,
amounting in value to hundreds
of millions of dollars. In fact
they have imported enough of
foreign sugars (raw) to last this
country the better part of a year,
and this anticipation of the duty.
Coal, iron and barbel wire COM
bined will only yield a 81, 100000.
The duty Oh sugar will benefit the
sugar producers perhaps from five
to seven million dollars, while the
mine owners and iron mongers
will pocket at least one hundred
million dollars at the expense of
the masses. 1t was for this rea-
son that President Cleveland and
Chairman Wilson commended so
stubbornly for free iron and coal.

Dangers of the Season.

The sudden changes III weather in the

are a source of colds and coughs. This
season is II particularly dangerous one
for persons with weak lungs or delicate
constitution. A slight cold is likely to
become n serious one and the cough that
follows is the II great cause of the
many deaths from consumption in the
early spring. Never neglect a cold or
cough. Keep n reliable remedy on hand
and check the first cough, that m " lead
to consumption. AS such a rem !ly the
