The meeting held Saturday night and
Sunday by Rev. Kelly at this place was
well attended, and We hope productive
OF good. The collection for the bene-
fit of superannuated itinerate preachers,
widows and orphans of deceased
preachers of the M. E. Church of this

Messrs. Gooeh, Gibson, Maxfield and
several others from this parish attended
the nominating convention of the P. p.
at New Iberia last Saturday, and are
enthusiastic over the nomination Of the
Hon. Ambrose Mouton, of Lake Err
thur, for Congress, and think if we can
get. a free ballot and fair count he can
be elected. A more honorable OF. truer
gentleman could not have been nomi-
mated for this important position, and
if elected, his constituents need have
no fear of selling them out.

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
thesnecds of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; cffcctually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man-
ufacturcd by the California Fig Syrup

Physicians Will Attempt to Bring Back to
Lifc Electrocutcd Murderers.
Gov. Flower of New York is willing to
allow experts to make a test to ascertain
whether n man killed in the electrical
chair can be resuscitated. Ever since the
adoption of the electrical-eNecution act by
the State. the Westinghouse people.
whose d.-namos are used, have declared
TINT electricity was not the cause of
death, but that death was assured by the
holding of an autopsy directly after the
body was taken. from the electrical chair.
No less an authority than Nicola Tesla.
the famous electrician, contendcd that
he could bring back to life n mar killed
in nm electrical chair, provided the at
tempt was made Immediately after exc
cution. Mr.. George Westinghouse has
always asserted that electrical death was
a sham and that a New York commission
headed by Elbridgc I. Gerry had added
the autopsy clause to the law SO as to
make it certain that the man was dead.
Within the last few weeks the agitation
of the subject has been prominent and all
appeal is to be made to the Governor to
allow the next man condemned to be used
as a subject to be experimental on. The
Governor says he will grant permission
to do this.
The attempt. if made, will undoubtedly
create great excitement and intense in
terest in the scientific world. 1t will also
| arouse curiosity among laymen. because,
I if successful. it will bring to life n new
man who cannot be executed, having
once suffered the penalty of death. 1t
will also prove that the State execution
| ers have really been the surgeons who
held the autopsy rather than the State
| electrician.

The Situation OF the House II Called On
to Elect the President.
The Constitution of the United States
provides that in the event of failure of a
cnndidnte for President to obtain n ma
jority Of NIL the votes in the electoral
college then the choice of President shall
be made by the House of Representa-
tives.
The House, however, does not vote in
the usual way in passing laws; the vote
is taken by States, each State having
only one vote. How that vote shall be
cast is determined by each States dele
cation, the majority ruling. In case of a
tie in the State delegation, then the vote
of that State does not count.
In the event of the next Presidential
election being cast into the House the
Republicans will have the choice of
President, as will be seen by the follow
ing lists. Twenty States have elected
Republican delegations:
Colorado, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, North Dakota,

STATES
Utah, Ar,.on. and Now MEXICO, with Their
I xsenstors, May Determine tho Political
Completion OF the Upper House-Politi-
cal C%lassiacstion Of Governors.
Point Overlooked.

&OAut VV0rAO0R6Us
According to a Washington correspon-
dent a point that has been overlooked in
computing the political complexion of the
next Senate is the admission of Utah
with two United States Senators. The
act of the last session of Congress admit
ting Utah provides that in March, 1895,
the constitutional convention shall be
held. On the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November of that year the
constitution is to be submitted to the pcO-
pie, and If ratified and found by the
President to be in accordance with the
act he will issue a proclamation admitting
it as a State. The net also provides that
a representative of the LIVth Congress
shall be elected at the same time the vote
is taken Upon the constitution, also that
State officers and a legislature shall be
chosen, and that if the constitution is
ratified the legislature shall Immediately
meet and elect two United States Sena-
tors.
Asthereis about a month from the time
the election is held until the LIVth Con-
gress meets, there will be ample time to
have all the formalities complied with and
Utah proclaimed n State in time for its
Senators and Representatives to partici-
pate in the organization of the next Con-
gress. This would make in nll ninety
Senators, and. as the new Senate now
stands, the politics of the Utah Senators
would cut IN important figure.
Another probability which arises is the
admission of both New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, which may be accomplished in
time, so that four more Senators would
participate in the organization of the next
Senate. Bills have already passed the
House for the admission of both these
Territories. The Senate Committee on
Territories has reported them favorably
to the Senate and they are now on the
calendar. Senators of both parties have
been urging their passage, and it is more
than likely that neither party would OPP
pose them, because of the effect it would
have upon the elections, as the people are
anxious for their admission md would re-
sent opposition by my party to that end.
1t is. therefore, quite likely that the
battle for the control of the Senate will
yet be fought out in Utah, New Mexico,
and Arizona next year. The admission
of these new States would make a total
of ninety-four Senators, and any party
to control would need forty-cight for a
majority. With the Vice President the
Democrats could control the Senate with
forty-seven Senators.

.fusal," says the report, "of the General
Managers Association to recognize and
deal with such a combination of labor us
the American Railway Union seems mr.
rogant md absurd when we consider it's
standing before the law, it's assumptions
and its past and obviously contemplated
future action"
The reduction of wage at Pullman to
offset losses are found to have thrown by
far the greater burden on labor, though
during the time of reductions no salaries
of officers, managers or superintendent
were reduced-employes who manifestly
could have sustained n reduction much
better than the workmen in the shops.
The refusal to cut down the high rents
in Pullman is regarded as unfair and I'M
wise, considering the reductions in wages
of those paying the rents. Failure to
make n concession and the discharge
of members of the committee calling on
the Pullman officials for increased pay
precipitated the strike. The orderly con-
duct of the Pullman strikers is me
led on with favor.
When the great railroad strike was on
the General Managers Association, like
the Pullman corporation, refused to con-
slider the matter of arbitration. The
commission is of the opinion that "a diff
,ferent policy would have prevented the
loss of life and great loss of property and
wages occasioned by the strike" The
commission would have labor %organiza-
lions recognized and made responsible.
While declining to take up the question
of Government ownership of railways
rs a remedy for railway strikes, it points
out that if railway combinations con-
tinue it will not be long before the Gov
eminent will have to seriously consider
Government ownership and Govern
ment regulation will have to be in
creased. Finally, the commissions rec
concentrations IRE that a permanent Uni
ted States strike commission be formed,
and that power be given to the Federal
courts to enforce the findings of the COM
mission. In the cnse of public corpora
tons, like railroads, it is the commits
sion's opinion that thore would be no
difficulty and no hardship in compelling
the acceptance of terms Of settlement
as agreed on by the commission. Besides
this recommendation 1t is urged on States
to establish systems of Cancellation and
arbitration similar to that in Massachu-
sets and to render illegal contracts re-
curing men not to join labor organize
lions or to leave them as conditions of en-
.lployment. ThN commission further urges
