Tn spite of all the talk about the

day of fanatical bigotry and reli-
gious intolerance has not yet passed
away. At the Southern Baptist
convention held in Washington this
week. a Rev. DR.. Cranfill Of Texas
indulged in bitter TRADE against
the Catholic Church and wasted a
great deal of sympathy on the poor
s.ilnprlsoneu nuns. 1t is no won

to such instances as this to show

justice to the great Baptist Church,
however, we desire to say that we
do not beheue DIR. Cranfill repre-
scented the sentiment of that great
organization in his narrow and I'M
christian attack upon a contempt

TIE NEGRO TOTER.S
ST. Z1NDR y


The Gazette is pleased to see
that the white people of St. Landry
parish are getting tired of the negro
as voter. If the following edi-
torial from the OPelousas Call ex-
presses the sentiments Of majority
of the white people of that parish,
and we believe that it does, the ne
gro will hereafter take back seat
in things political of the empire
parish. The white man who wants
to keep the negro in politics is un-
true to his blood, is traitor to his
race and enemy to the negro, and
the white candidate who wants the
negro to vote because he cannot be
elected by white votes is, as a rule,
unfit to hold office, and should not
be trusted with any position of
honor. The Call says:
That conservative but t'true blue"
white supremacy journal, the Lafa-
yette Gazette, makes the following
comment:
"Our contemporary, the Opelousas Call,
is making it rather unpleasant for impudent
negroes in OpclousaS. Editor BreauX, as
long as your politicians will hobnob with
the negro for his vote, the latter will be inn
pudcnt. The negro has no business in poll
sics.''
You voice the sentiments of the
white people of this parish, Bro.
Mouton. Unfortunately the col
ored voters hold the balance of
power in this parish, as is clearly
shown by the election of negro Ma
poleon Mcbride to the legislature,
and a visit to the justices courts
will further substantiate the fact.
But the day is near at hand when
the white man will rule this parish
independent of the corrupt and pur-
chaseable negro element. The
white people are tired Of seeing a
corrupt element herded together
and driven to the ballot box to per-
form the functions intended for free
and intelligent American citizens.
The rights won in seas of blood by
our forefathers is not to be trailed
in the mire and trampled upon by
class of people who are tweedled
into line by the jingle of a silver
dollar or the sight of whiskey bar
rel. You have gotten rid of them,
Bro. Mouton and believe us, the
writing on the wall is that st. Lam
dry is about to free herself from the
yoke Of her former slaves. The
shibboleth of the next campaign IS
white supremacy.
While we are on the subject we
wish to say word concerning our
position. In our salutatory we an

Leon Jastremskj, now United States
Consul at Ca1loa appointed Consul
General at Havana to succeed Mr..

the entire Louisiana delegation will

their efforts will be successful be-
cause he is eminently qualified to

a staunch Democrat, orainy man

Pope Leo XIII is impressed with
the realization that his remaining
days in this world are few and has
given the commission to Maroni,
the most famous sculptor in Italy,
TO prepare his tomb, and it is safe
to say that it will be rare work of
art. The Pope has decreed that
the tomb shall be Of pure white
Carara marble; on the lin a lion
holding in his claws the tiara. On
the right there shall be figure of
Faith holding torch in one hand
and the sacred scriptures in the
other. Truth is to be on the left,
with mirror and the armorial
bearings of the Papacy. The in
scriptions which the Pope directs
shall be placed on the tomb is not
able for its simplicity. 1t is "Hic

stwe declare that we
have no feeling of unkindness to-
ward the colored man; on the con-
trary, we will sustain and protect
him in the full enjoyment of all his
civil and political rights"
The reader will naturally expect
to be told that the above resolution
was adopted by Republican con-
vention and is intended as a bid
for the negro vote, but what will he
think when he is told that it was
adopted at meeting of Democrats
held in New Orleans last Saturday
night? Since when have Louisiana
Democrats gone into the business
of sustaining and protecting the
negro in the full enjoyment OF his
civil and Political r,ghts?" Do the
negroes need protection7 The Ca
zette believes that they are getting
along well and are enjoying all the
civil and political rights to which
they are entitled. These gentlemen
did not make it known how they
propose to protect the negro in his
Political rights. We always thought
that the Republican party had a
monopoly of the business of pro-
tecting the colored brother, and
was fully able to do SO unaided, but
it appears from the above resolution
that a number of Louisiana Demo-
Gratis will extend all the help neces-
sary and will do so unsolicited. A
! faction of the Democratic party
taking up the cudgel for the negro
is indeed a new departure in Louis
lana politics. If this opposition to
the present State administration can
not find any other issue, they had
better make a fight squarely for the
Offices: The long-winded resolu-
tions about the welfare of the
Democratic party is the veriest non
sense and their ballot reform pre-
lenses will deceive no one. The
people of Louisiana have had
enough of such politics and are not
in a moos: to be bamboozled with
imaginary ills which exist only in
the fertile brains of dissatisfied poll
ticians.
A number of letters from promi-
nent Democrats in the country were
read endorsing the move. We
have no doubt that they did SO not
knowing that the colored brother
would: be extended protection in
his political rights, chief among
which is that of suffrage. Now
that this part of the program is
known it is expected that with
drawals will follow.

AS generally expected the income
tax law has been declared uncon-
stitutional by a majority of the
United States Supreme Cou1t. If
the American people intend to tax
aggregated wealth they will either
have to amend the constitution OF
change the Supreme Court. The
dissenting opinions of four of the
judges make very interesting read
ing. Judge Whites opinion was in
favor Of the maintenance of the tax.
The only consolation that we, of
Louisiana, may get out of the de-
cision is that the knocking out of
the law will cause deficiency in
G rev enue, which may be supplied
by an increase of the sugar tax.

4. A. SIocum Offers to Send Two Bottles
Free of His Remedy to Cure Consuinp-
tion.
Nothing could be fairer, more phiIanthropic
or carry more JOY in its wake than the offer of
Il. A. Slocum, NJ. C., of 1873 Pearl Street, New
York. Perfectly confident that he has an sb.
solute remedy for the cure of consumption
aud all pulmonary complaints, he offers
through this paper TO send two bottles free to
any reader who is suffering from lung trouble
consumption. He invites those desirous
of obtaining this remedy to send their ex press
and postoffice address, and TO receive in re-
turn the two bottles, which will arrest the ap.
proach of death. Already this remedy, by its
timely use. has permanently cured thousands
OF cases which were given up, and death, in
it's sable robes, was looked upon as an carly
visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does and being
so proof-positive OF its beneficent results, Dr.
Slocum considers it his religious duty a duty
which he owes to humanity, to donate his in-
faliblc remedy where il will assault the enemy
in its citadel, and. by its inherent potency, stay
the current of dissolution, bringing Joy to
homes over which tho shadow of the grave has
been gradually growing more strongly defined
causing fond hearts TO grieve. The cheapness
of the remedy-odered frcely-apart from its
inherent strength, is enough to commend it.
and moro SO is the perfect confidence of the
gentleman making the offer who holds out life
to those already becoming cmaciated, and saws:
"Be cured"
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration OF the afflicted, who, for years.
have been taking nauseous nostrums without
effect; who have ostracised themselves from
home aud friends to live in more sslubrious

Victory for the Search Light.
NetU York Sun.

The victory of the search light in the re-
cent contest at Newport between it and the
Cushing relieves the monotony of the tri-
umphs which the torpedo boat has won
Several years ago, under Secretary Tracy
the Cushing was ordered to make her re-
turns to Newport Harbor, unless there was
reason for entering in the daytime, at such
hours as to attest the ability of the search
light there to detect her entrance. One OF
the primary purposes was to determine what
color of amt was best suited for "a torpedo
boat, in order to aid her in escaping detec-
tion. Practice in adroit manuyer was also
desired.
In trial after trial the torpedo boat was
able to get to her anchorage without detec-
tion. In one case, we believe, the feat was
performed both by the Cushing and the Str
lettt. However, the other night, in coming
into the harbor, the Cushing was found at a
distance too far off for her torpedoes to be
effective, and thus triumph was scored for
the light. The war in the Orient showed
that while electric search lights and machine
guns are enemies of the torpedo boat, they
cannot always be fully relied on to preven,
its work.
