SENATORIAL STRAWS.


the nomination which was protfered
at the hands of leading men ia the
the other parishes composing the
district. st. Mary with its usual
love for official favors entered the
lists with two candidates, Hon. A.
A. Fecot and Col. Thos. J. Shaffer,
and as that parish had filled the
Office for the past Il years. some of
our people thinking no doubt that
the divine right TO rule was vested
in st. Mary, urged that our people
refuse TO accept anything less than d
FULL term. Others believing that
il Vermilion presented an acceptable
candidate the chances we're that this
PARISH could easily obtain a full
term at the expiration Of the half
term, especially since she had previ.
ously occupied the position but once
in her entire history and that more
than IA years. ago.
While the few were hating in
their opinions, the outspoken and
generous endorsement of Vermilion
by Calcasieu last Wednesday de-
cided matters, and when our parish
executive committee met with O full
attendance, DR.. G. j. EDWARDS re.
ceived the hearty and unanimous
support of the members, and the
delegates elected were instructed to
vote for him as long as his name

PRODUCTION. The esteem he enjoys
abroad is best told BY the ~suhjoined
extracts:
Baton Rouge Advocate:
The New Orleans papers indicate
that G. j. Edwards, of Vermilion,
will probably be Senator Caffery's
successor in the state senate. Ver-
million parish has not had a repre-
sentative in that body for many
years. and it would appear that her
claim at present is o just one. Ger.
tain it is that no better man could
be elected to fill Senator Cafery's
sea than this brilliant young son of
Vermilion.
Lake Charles Commercial:
Gov. Foster has called o special
election for the selection of a state
senator for this district to fill o va
cancy. The most prominent can
didates are DR.. Edwards, of Vermil
ion; Tom Schaefer. Of ST. Mary's,
and Mr.. Pecot also of St. Mary's.
Dr.. Edwards seems to have the
inside of the track in the race, and
while the people OF Lake Charles
honor the other candidates, DR..
Edwards will receive the majority
of our vote, not only because of bis
popularity, but because we naturally
favor Vermiison in this contest.

JUDGE BHCKNER'S SAY.
Our New Congressman Expresses
Himself On Mr.. Carlisle's
Plan for Reforming the
Currency.
HE IS PLEASED WITH IT,

The Washington correspondent of
the Courier-Journal interviewed Judge
Beckner, our new Congressman, as TO
his views on Mr.. Carlisle's currency
plan. The correspondent says:
Judge Beckner, since reading Sec
rotary Carlisle's report more carefully,
is even better pleased with his tinan-
cial idea than he was at first. He said
tbis morning: "There are several
good and sufficient reasons why its es-
sential features ought to become law,
First, it provides for a safe expansion
of the currency, which the people OF
the South and West ardently desire /;
it is equally as elastic in the matter OF
contraction when the volume is found
to be too large. Under il the bank
panic of 1893 would have been avert
ed. Second, it would give MS a cur
rency that would not become con-
gested in New York, as is now the
case with the greenbacks Very few
greenbacks are current. They are
boarded in Wall street because they
can be used to draw gold from the
The United States Treasury. Third,
il substitutes non-interest bearing
basis for the circulation of our nation
al banks in place of the bonds which
now cost the people millions of dollars
each year in the way OF interest.
Fourth, it keeps the pledge of the
party at Chicago to take the tax off
the circulation of State banks, and at
the same time give no license or sane
ton to wildcat or 'red-dog' currency
or banking Fifth, ii makes a place
for silver, because it provides that the
new national bank issues shall not be

Sophie Lyons Again.

Sophie.Lyons, whose enforced stay
in our midst in company with Chilly
the Kid" for an attempted robbery OF
the Traders Deposit Bank, had drop
ped out af sight for time past. But
Sophie is not one of those mortsls
who can rest in peace and quiet while
other peoples money is lying around
loose and she is net lingering it. Her
latest essay was to pass herself off
upon a Mr.. George Waring, a whole
sale New York merchant, as delight
fully pleasant widow, get into his
home and blackmail him into writing
for her a $4,000 check. She failed to
get this cashed, however, and is IN the
hands of the police. But it is said
Mr.. Waring will not prosecute the
widow" SO that Sophie's general run
of good luck in slipping through the
meshes of the law may not have entire
ly deserted her after all.
