ain view of the points presented
by Alderman Stewart last Friday

statement Of Judge Townsend, as
city attorney more in extent than

the Judge was that whereas such
profits as were made were immed-

A Pleasant Visit to Opelousas.
LLOYD, La, June 10, 1895

LLOYD, La, June 10, 1895.
Having had the great pleasure of a
visit last week to the above mentioned
beautiful town, we had the good
fortune to be present at the production
of Princess Bonnie" by the Princess
Bonnie Opera Company, of that place.
TO say that we were greatly surprised
at the remarkable display of musical
talent, is expressing it mildly.
Prof. Charles g. Schatfer, the director
of the performance, is Il graduate of
the Harvard University and a thorough
and talented musician.
Miss Anita Doremus, who appeared
in the title role, is we'll and favOrably
known throughout the State as an
educated and classical songstress. Her
beautiful singing evidenced the voice
culture received at the Conservatory of
Music at Paris, during her three years.
course.
The entire cast and chorus were we'll
selected and remarkably taught. The
orchestra, consisting OF a violin. piano
and cornet, made complete the splendid
performance.
In all, the witnessing of this produc-
ton was one of the most entertaining
and ~pleasureable features of your cor
respondents visit.
This cultured town is to be congratu-
lated on the wonderful amount of tai
emit it contains. for few that we know
of can boast of so much.
The company will go to Alexandria,
Lake Charles and New Iberia in the
near future, and all lovers or fine music
will find a treat indeed. B. W. M.

Y. w. C. T. u. lettings.

Mention of the Demorest medal con-
test has already been made in these col
umns, but Il few additional comments
may not be amiss even now.
1t was quite an enjoyable, though en-
tirely nnpIetentious affair. The five
pretty girls and the one noble boy were
all looking their best, which is very
good indeed. The program was inter-
spersed with music. Too much credit
cannot be given Mrs. Settoon. upon
whom the greatest part of the labor OF
getting up the contest devOlved. The
music was especially her own. Her
class of l.. T. l.. children sang several
pretty and appropriate choruses with
no small degree of excellence. Besides,
Mrs. Settoon with Miss Lula May Den
son sang two beautiful duets and her
fine voice delighted the audience in two
solos. Miss Aunie Andrus, the medal
winner, also sang the sweet little ballad
"Somebody Loves Me- The long and
enthusiastic applause after the fair
singer had resumed her seat testified to
the fact that everyone appreciated the
frank confession of her song as we'll as
her charming manner of thus making it
public.
OF the several contestants it is is i'm
possible to speak here, but Misses Rena
Mckinney and Aline Delarue deserve
especial mention. But for a slight lapse
of memory, the former would no doubt
have won the prize, as her average was
little behind that of Miss Andrus. Miss
Delarue's strong voice and clear
citation were points in her favor a lit
tie ungracefulness of gesture was per
haps the only defect noticeable. But
only one can win the medal. Try again
girls, all of you, and Master Robin also.
The medal contests will take place with
some frequency We hope. Another is
in contemplation even now.

We have learned to look, without sur
prise, on almost any exhibition of
human folly and arrogance. But one
might be pardoned for establishment at
the strange spectacle of those whose
inc0mpetency, s%elfishness and bosslsm
have ruined the Democratic party,
standing on the wreck they have made
and talking about harmonizing and
unifying the party. What has divided
the party? Unfaithfulness to its prin-
ciples and platforms. What has
brought discord and discomfort in party
ranksq Seltishness, incompetency and
bOssism on the part of its leaders.
Party cliques and rings have assumed
to dethrOne the Democratic masses.
And for the same ringsters and bosses
to talk about harmony in the party !
Why their own retirement from in
fnence in party councils is the first step
toward harmony. They are the only
stumbling blocks, the only cause of
discOrd.
The great Democratic party is all
right. Its principles are eternal and
nothing but false prophets can delay
its perpetual triumph which it finds,
not in the spoils of Office, not in the rule
of rings, but in the perfection and
perpetnation of free government.
Bosses, ballot-box suffers, ward
heelers, camp followers and chronic
spokesman are the bane of the Demo
cratic party. Truth and justice are it's
friends. These are the bnlwarks of
party harmony. Fair play, honest
methods, respect for the will of the
people. regard for the public veal /;
