Accident at the Mint.

About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
James Sturgeon met with an acct
dent at the Mint which will lay him
up for some time. 1t appears that
Mr.. Spurseon, who has charge of the
machine for grinding the sweeps,
was cleaning up around the machine
with dust brush, which accidently
came in con tact with the heavy iron
roller and was drawn under. Mr..
Sturgeon hung on to the brush and
instantly his whole right arm was
beneath the ponderous roller. 1t
was necessary to stop the engine be-
fore the arm could be extricated.
A small bone in the elbow was broken
and the muscles badly lacerated.

CANDELARIA, June 2, 1894.
Editor State Journal:--Ths Enter
prise Processes 10 be unable TO class
lily the voters who at the last election
voted the Silver ticket, and says:
They deny being Democrats, they
3eny being Republicans, still they
claim the same place for Silver that
the Republicans do, but at the same
time want free trade to stand side by
side with silver.
On the "a of March, 1892, in the
House of Representatives, the Hon.
Horace f, Bartine said:
In my judgment the silver ques-
ton is the most vitality important
hat confronts tho American people
to-day. If any gent eman imagines
that measure placing wool or cot
tou-lies or bind, wine on the free
list approaches in the remotest de-
gree the importance of this great
ques ion of money, which is inter-
woven with every business concern
of our lives, that gentleman has very
contracted notions upon the subject
of politicsl economy.
Those who believe Mr.. Bartine to
be sincere left the Republican party
as soon as tina. party had published
its platform at the Minneapolis Con-
vention and had nomina, d Mr..
Harrison as ia standard bearer. The
friends of silver knew what to e1-
pect from the Republican party.
When the Democrats at Chicago
placed Mr.. Cleveland in nomination,
the friends of silver in the Demo
cratic party of this State instinctivcly
understood how little good the free
coinage plank in the Democratic plat
form would do if Mr.. Cleveland were
elected; so they, too, left their party
and Joined hands with such of the
who, like Mr.. Bartine,
thought that the tariff en- wool cot
ton-ties or binding-twiae did not in
the remotest degree approach the
importance of the River question |
and so formed the"Silver" party, and
showed their sincerity by endorsing
Weaver and Field, who represented
the only party that redeemed its
pledges by giving every vote for the
free coinage of silver at IS to 1.
If the Enterprise will insist that
the Nationcl Republican platform ad
vocates the free coinage of silver on
EQUAL terms with the Populists' plat
form, then the Republican votes in
Congress on all measures pertaining
% silver coinage proves the insincer-
ty of that party, and every fair
minded silver Republican ought to
cave the Republican party and join
he Silver party. j. G.

The Toledo Weekly Blade.

Of he now nearly twenty thousand
regular publications in the United
States, there are but two or three week.
~ newspapers published for general
circulation IN every state and territory,
and of these the Toledo Weekly Blade
is the best and most popular of them
all. 1t is the oldest, best known, and
has the largest circulation. For more
than twenty-five years it has been q
regular visitor to every portion Of the
Union. and it is we'll known at every
one OF the sixty thousand odd post
offices OF the country. 1t is made
especially for family reading. 1t gives
the entire news of the world each week.
IN such condensed form as will save
reading scores of pages of daily papers
to get less information. Republican in
politics, Temperance in principle, al
ways on the side of justice and right,
1t Is Just the paper for the rising gem
Grafton, and a great educator for the
whole family. Serial stories, wit and
humor, short stories, Household de-
partment, Question Bureau, Farm
department. Camp Fire, Sunday School
and Young Folks are a few of the
many other prominent features Of this
great paper. A specimen copy will be
mailed free to any address on apnlica-
ton, and the publishers invite any Der
son to send in a long list of addresses to
whom they will mail sample copies.
They would be glad to mail q couple of
hundred specimens to readers Of this
county. The Weekly Blade is a very
large paper, and the price is only one
dollar a year.

An Awkward Squad.

Week before last the Clarion pnbIish.
ca an article urging the Democrats of
tnls parish to come ont and poll a full
vote for Col. Robertson, and last week
It takes it all back, and says it was "tbo
work OF n novice in the office" and
should not have found space in its col
nmns, and ronM not. if the publisher
had not been absent" Here is a pretty
Kettle OF fish-the Clarion again going
BACK on the Democratic party and its
ticket! IL also tries 10 take back its
abuse OF the populites, contained in the
same article, and we do hope this abuse
Is all that it meant to disavow and at-
tempted to disown. But, as matters
now stand, the Clarion occupies the
rather awkward and somewhat remark
aole attitude of having apparently gone
clear back on the Democratic party in
the short space of N week, and that,
too, when the State Democracy is every
where triumphant and flushed with it's
sweeping victory!
But this is not the only surprise it
last weeks article reveals. The public
was under the impression that the
board OF directors supervised its edito-
rial management, but it seems that the
publisher ia the censor for the article
quoted from distinctly ayers that the
Objectionable article would not have an
peared it the publisher had got a chance
at it: As to the further fact revealed
by the disclaimiDg article-that there is
"a novice in the ottice"-that will sur
prise no one. In fact, the general i'm
preston among discerning readers of
that alleged newspaper is that there are
there, or thereab0uts-and this
last article ia we'll calculated to confirm
them in that belief.

Honest Elections
N. o. Times.D Democrat.

N. o. Times.Democrat.
A great majority of the States have
adopted the Australian ballot and pass.
ed honest election laws. 1t is gratifying
to note that these laws have given com.
plete satisfaction wherever they were
IN operation, although sometimes they
have worked a little hard at first, be-
cause OF their newness. One of the best
features is that where they are in opera
ton there are few or no suspicious of
fraud, and that elections elect, no mat
ter how small the majority may be.
we, or Louisiana, a envy Tennes-
see, where a few hundred majority is
suflclent to determine who shall be
Governor, for we know that it would
not be so here, and that such a majority
as Evans received would be challenged.
we see elections where the majority one
way OF the other ia only 10, as in the
case OF Bland, with no rumOr of a con-
test. whereas a majority Of over 10000
IN Louisiana is challenged and contest
ed, as though there was some doubt
about it.
Nearly all the States have election
laws which assure honesty, and against
which no complaint can be made.
Among the exceptions are Virginia.
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Louisiana, and we are glad to see that
IN all these five a movement has begun

Regarding the ADVICE of Ambassador
Bay ard to the Democratic party to pass
the free raw materials bill, the Chicago
Herald says,
"This ought to be done NOT in any
%resentful spirit, but because it is right
to do it. and because the country should
have a fair chance to observe the prac-
tlcal workings of a Democratic tariff
before they pass Judgment on it in 1895.
-" But what ought to be done is one
thing and what can be- done is another
thing. The Germans and Brices will
claim that the popular verdict ia in
tbei favor and they will Do bolder and
more determined than aver in antago-
nizing the free materials bills. Even
without their aid the Republican Sena-
tors could defeat the bills by dilatory
tactics and it is already given out that
they will do SO if an attempt shall be
made to pass them.
Nevertheless the attempt should be
made. Democratic Senators should
give the country 10 understand that an
irrational landslide of the tickle pub
lie has not changed their convictions
or swerved the Democratic party from
its principles and purposes. And the
Republicans should be given the oppor-
tunity to indicate the line of policy
their party intends to pursue il the
people give it q chance to legislate in

The Town Council has awarded to
Mr.. /. W. Sylvester, Of Alexandria, u
contract to draw up plans and s%pecif-
cations for a waterwOrka and electric
light system for Opelousas, but jn
doing SO instructed him to embrace in
said plans and specifications only such
systems as meet the approval of the
insurance companies as published by
the Southeastern Tariff Associations
We fear that this stipulation is a mis-
take. and that it we are to be controlled
10 this matter by the views of the in
surance companies our plant will cost
nor than we can afford to pay-say
$4,000 or $4,000. A waterworks plant
such as MIR. Covell proposed, and cost
ing fifteen or twenty thousand dollars,
would give adequate protection, al
though it would not suit the insurance
companies; but when in full operation
our citizens would feel secure enough
to carry their own risks rather than
pay the extortionate insurance rates
demanded, and then these rates would
soon drop to reasonable figures. We
may be mistaken, but as we view ii, we
will never have waterworks if the
matter is to be left to the insurance
companies.
