A Question.

What about our talked of waterworks2
We hear nothing moro about them. The
summer season with all it's sultriness is
rapidly approaching. 1t is to be expect
ed the rains will soon be less frequent.
Dust will fill the air, the roofs of houses
will be covered by it and the cisterns
must receive it at every shower. Drink
ing water must become foul thereby and
comfort impaired if not health, or both.
Cholera still turks en- route to our coun-
try, still we are doing literally nothing
to avert such calamities. Opelousas is
growing, 1t not in area at least in the
density of its buildings, whilst the dan
ger of fires is proportionately increas-
ing, and here we are sitting all the day
long idle. The merchants all see the
time coming, as in former years, their
goods must be exposed to and injured
by the sutfocating dust of our streets.
Lawyers, doctors, manual laborers and
families all know the inevitable result
of neglect and of delay. A few dollars
comparatively employed may enable
them to avoid all of these discomforts,
and yet nothing is done to accomplish
it. Why notq What are we waiting
for Now is the time to be doing. II
all classes of our people will spend one
fourth of the money they waste for non
essentials in getting sprinklers for our
streets, we are sure they would feel am
ply rewarded by the venture.
Suppose we try it Y

A New Enterprise.

We are reliably Informed by letter
received by gestleman of this town,
written by one of the parties, that a
barrel factory has been established and
put in partial operation at Eola, in the
southwest corner of Avoyelles parish.
Hon. A. B. Irion and Mr.. Audibert
are the proprietors. The Judge is the
owner of tract of land on which the
factory is erected and it is supplied
with an abundance of elm, ash and OAK,
the very best materials for the busi-
ness in which he has embarked.
Thus we perceive that one by one our
Industrial ventures and enterprises are
multiplying. With illimitable forests
abounding in every necessary kind of
wood, there is absolutely nothing to
prevent Judge Irion and others from
successfully prosecuting such an enter
prise. They can make barrels as cheap
ly and quite as well as others farther
north or west of US, and all that is need
ed is home patronage. Ourpeople should
bear this in mind and have barrels
made here. There is DO sense nor mon
ey in doing otherwise. We will watch
the operations of the Eola factory with
deep interest, hoping it may succeed to
the satisfaction of Messrs.; Irion and
Audibert, and to that of their patrons.

Give Democrats a Chance.

Atlanta Constitution.
The Cincinnati Enquirer voices the
sentiment of the democratic masses
when it says:
The patience of democrats under a
policy which has seemed to say that they
cannot be trusted with the federal off
ces is something to be long remem ber-
ed. Everybody has heard, though, of
the time when patience ceases to be a
virtue. Patience now with course
that keeps republicans iD Office under a
democratic administration is not manly.
/ dare not turn the republicans out"
practically says the president, I" for fear
the country will go to ruin" Demo
Gratis are getting tired of this sort of
treatment. Not even MIR. Cleveland can
break up the democratic party, but he
can retard it's progress. Can any per-
son point out good reason why demo-
Gratis should not be preferred A DEM
ocrat who wants place usually has to
wait till a republican officeholder dies.
This is the feeling all over the coun-
try; and in Georgia it finds expression
every day.
Just such complaints come from near
ly every state in the union, and they
have weakened the democratic party,
and caused it to suffer defeat or fall
ing off in votes in every election that
has been held within the past six
months.
Place none but democrats on guard |!
This should be the watchword of the
administration. 1t is useless to try to
strengthen the party and revive its en-
thusiasm and energy SO long as many of
the important Offices of the country re-
main in the hands OF the republicans.
The democrats who have worked for
the party all their lives. and whose 10y
atty and splendid discipline secured the
remarkable victory of 1892, are growing
disheartened.
All this is perfectly natural. When
the masses organize and hold together
through the trials and defeats of a gen.
Grafton, and finally triumph, they want
to eyjoy the fruits of their victory.
This is human nature. When we have
democratic administration the people
expect to be under democratic rule.
When they find that republicans con-
tinue to fill many of the Offices, while
democrats are ignored, they feel disap-
pointed and resentful.
The administration should change its
policy in this respect without delay. or
the elections this year will show sadly
diminished total of democratic voters.
The rank and file Of the party will not
accept partial republican rule under a
democratic administration.

The N. 0. Picayune of the Goth says

Judge Rightor, of the Civil District
Court, yesterday gave a turn to the
Whitaker case that upsets many calcu-
lations. He declared that there is no
power in the Mayor Of New Orleans to
remove recorder, and none in the City
Council to impeach him. The entire
matter is provided for by the State
Constitution of 1870, and neither the
city charter nor any other act of the
General Assembly can repeal or in
validate the Constitution.
1t is remarkable that what now seems
to be so plain was not discovered until
brought to light by the professional
acumen and good solid sense of Mr..
Kruttschnitt, counsel for Judge Whit
aker.
What seems more remarkable, how
ever, is that while Art. 2O1 of the Con-
stitution, upon which Judge Rightor
based his Judgment, was quoted by
Judge Blackman in his decision in the
famous Police Jury case-which decis-
ion was published in ertenso in this pa
per over two months ago-Dobody in
New Orleans appears to have been
aware OF it's existence until brought
to light by the professional acumen and
good solid sense" of New Orleans law
yer. The country lawyer is more than
two months ahead.
Some of these days the readers of the
New Orleans papers may discover, also,
that Police Jurors are ward officers and
therefore not removable by the COVER
nor, but only in the mode indicated in
Art. 201. Judge Blackman's decision,
which is of exceedingly great interest
to all the parishes except Orleans, has
not been given the attention it deserves
by the city press.

TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity of
their being on the alert, in the matter Of judi
eial publications, tsheriffs sales especially as
nel lect on their part to give positive instruc-
ment published, is apt to result in our being
deprived of the patronage that would other
wise be given to us. The sreriff OF this parish
has been making himself especially Jealous in
the matter of securing sherifss sales for the
paper OF which he is director and stockholder,
and several publications of that nature have
appeared in that paper which the parties inter-
ested would have selected to be done in the
COURIER, had they been consulted and others
have been diverted from us at the special soli-
citation of the sheriff or his deputies serving
the papers in the matter of seizures.
Z To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
tsrfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage are
earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIFR-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
duced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

The heavy rains which fell in the ear
ly part of the week overhowed the west
ern portion of the country near Opelou-
sas to such an extent that, on Tuesday,
Mr.. D. Dnrio was enabled to take boat
on his plantation and come within a
short distance of town-a distance of
two or three without touching
terra f'',na. The cause of this unusual
accumulation of water is understood to
be the throwing up of numerous levees
in that section for the storage of the
water indispensable for the cultivation
Of rice.
