what Assembly district this territory should be

Some unexpected difficulties have been met In
the division Of the Department Of Charities and
Correction, In pursuance OF the law passed by
the last Legislature The wisdom of the law is
generally conceded, but probably no one expect
ID that the erection OF two departments in The
place Of one would involve an increase in the
.itys expenses Of as much as 100000 or $780,

terday 10 the Sinking Fund Commissioners, and
he declared further that 1t would be impossible

Ii g recent editorial the BatoG
Rouge Truth gives utterance to
these patriotic sentiments which
must find echo in the heart Of every
true Democrat
In the approaching campaign
Truth c~ounsels moderation, conser-
vatiam and fair dealing and a
thorough union OF all the gallant
forces of democracy against the
enemy in whatever form and under
whatever banner be may be found.
In this struggle we should select as
standard bearer the strongest, ablest
and most available leader and sur
round him with men of unquestioned
integrity. ability and strength.
What their past political afilia.
tons were, is a matter of no con-
Germ; that they are true, loyal, re.
or esentative men and Democrats is
all that need be known. And no
slogan of battle, no hue and cry of
reform, no ]protestation Of self assum'
ed patriots, no wailing of immacu-
lates declaring against rings and all
the while endeavoring to organize
an invincible ring, will avail any
thing whatever.
These are hoary tricks of the pro.
eessional trickster and they will not
gull the most guillible rural suffra~
gan in the most rural confne of the
State. The field is open. We are
going to support Murphy J. Foster
on his merits as a man, his loyalty
as a Democrat and his ability as a
statesman. If there are any other
candidates let them be announced at
the proper time. Let's have no
dark lantern business. Let have
no false ordinations or recrimina.
tons and false charges. Let's be
fair and just and honest, faithful to
ourselves and loyal to the party,
and may the strongest, best mar
win.

Tough ON the Police = Jury.

Last weeks Crowley Signal gives
the police jury of that Acadia parish
a terrible washing" for their va-
rious misdeeds and winds up in the
following vigorous language
Before dismlssing the subject Of
parish finances, gentlemen of the
police jury, permit US to tell you
that the taxpayers of Acadia have
been lenient and have borne much
in silence; they have meddled very
little in the financial affairs of the
parish, but always paying whatever
was assessed against them. These
people, however, have hoped that
the best use might be made of this
money. But the meagre improve
ments-made and miserable condition
of the bridges and many of the
highways couvinces them that hope
is vain. When they realize how
little has been done and how deep
into the abyss of debt the parish has
been thrust by gross mismanage-
snent, we may in justice inquire # it
is any wonder that the people call a
halt. To Judge by the expressions
being heard on every hand it is not
only possible but quite probable that
the Governor of Louisiana will be
called upon in public meeting to ask
for the resignation Of those jurors
who are responsible for this misera-

The price of oil for Illuminating
purposes has risen several cents per
gallon for the last few days. 1t is
unfortunate that Just now any neces'
sity should increase in price. Labor,
especially plantation labor: has gone
down, aud the negroes can just make
a living. This is true also of many
other kinds of labor, and a nickel
more per gallon for oil makes it just
so much harder for the working
classes to get along. Why does not
the Democratic party at Washing
ton enforce the laws against the
Trusts as they promised the people
they would do when they induced
those people to vote for them ?
