1t will not do for the free silver
papers to call their opponents all
sorts of ugly names and for the gold
standard papers to abuse the silver
people and call them ssbrainless
idiots, crazy populists, etc" This
kind of warfare will do good to no
cause. This money question
should be discussed in a calm, dis
passionate, honest way. 1t should
be a campaign of education and
not of blackguardism. The hum
blest citizen in the land is as much
interested in its solution as the
richest man on Wall street. The
cranks are not all on one side and
all the brains on the other. When
men like Palmer, Carlisle, MorE an,
Crisp and VOORHEES, disagree there
must be two sides to the question,
and it is only natural that those
not SO we'll informed are also di-
vided.

The Commonwealth in Fiction

Miss Adeline Knapp, well known as one
of the clevcrcst women writers on the Paci-
fc coast, has put the commonwealth of
Coxey's army into fiction, in a story
called '''rhe Wealer,' which appears in the
May arena. 1t is very suggestive COM
,ncntary, not upon the fantastic Coxey
movement, but upon existing industrial and
social conditions.
AS an analysis of the origin of much OF
the shocking crime that daily fill the news
papers, ii suggests that there Gains in
midst who never shed blood, but simply
Kill hope and opportunity.
Everybody who reads Miss Knapp's story
carefully will !,c impressed with its fidelity
to the aspects of everyday life, and its great
power of suggesting all the complex forces
of society in simple sketch, of individual
experience. In Miss Knapp we have new
writer of fiction who will assuredly win a
llig!, place for herself.

THE COTTON ICREAGE.

Courier Journal.
The report of the Statistician OF
the Agricultural Department on the
cotton area planted SO far is calcu-
lated to depress the market. AS it
made out a decrease Of but 81 per
cent. from last year it really indi-
Gates larger crop. Last spring
the season was forward and almost
the entire crop had been planted by
May I, though a cold spell later on
made some replanting necessary.
This spring has been backward, and
if the acreage is only three points
less than 1894, it should mean not
only that there will be no decrease,
but also a positive gain in acreage.
1t must be said that the statistics
of the Agricultural Department are
at variance with the reports received
by cotton men from the South. 1t
has been agreed that the reduction
in acreage would not be very large,
but it is believd that it will reach
IS to 20 per cent. The Texas
drouth and the backward spring
this supposition extremely reasona-
BILE.
1t is quite probable that the Liv-
erpool market will be unfavorably
effected by the report. There is,
however, too little cotton left in
this country for prices to be serious
ly disturbed. 5, Consumption has
been so much increased, both at
home and abroard, that the total
visible supply is but little in excess
of that at the same time last year.
The crop was an extraordinary one,
but the export movement was SO I'M
pr-Cedented that the surplus has
been practically disposed of. Also
it should not be forgotten that the
aggregate yield of the last three
years was actually les than the total
of the three preceding crops.
Cotton is yet below the cost of
production, of 6E cents in Mem
phis means only ~ cents on the
plantation. And it can not be
raised outside of Texas for less than
cents. Not even under such ex-
ceptional circumstances as now pre-
vail can it long remain below tn
cost. Another big crop would keep
it down but this, after all, will de-
pend more upon the season than the
acreage planted.

PREACHZ.vG HAR-uONY

| PRE4CHZ1vG HAR-H CVI
| Hon. &. J. Boatner, the we'll
known Congressman from North
Louisiana, is very able politician
and his interview in Tuesdays
| Times-Democrat should set the
| Democrats of louisiana to thinking.
The distinguished gentleman is re-
ported as having given utterance to
the following words:
He felt that in the present con-
dition of the Democta:ic party that
the Democrats who had the interest
of their State at heart could not af-
ford to play fast and loose with the
questions which would engross their
attention later. He was of the
opinion that it was absolutely ne
cessary for the Democrats to sink
whatever personal differences they
might have and combine for the de-
tense of the party. 1t made no
difference to him who represented
the head of the ticket provided that
the nominee was true man and
Democrat. He believed that the
two elements of the Democratic
party should be given full and equal
representation on the ticket. Tne
McEnery men had stood true to the
party and had rallied to its support,
sacrificing their personal desires in
so doing, and in the midst of the
changes which, had been rung in the
political complication of the State
in the past two years they had re-
manned true to their colors.
All Democrats who desire the
success of the party at the next
election will agree with Mr.. Boat
ner that there should be harmony in
stead offactional wrangling. Against
divided Democracy the Populists
of North Louisiana and the Repub
licans of the Southern portion of
the State will have good chance
of carrying the election. There is
no issue upon which all Democrats
will not agree and personal differ
ences should not be permitted to
stand in the way Of harmonious
Democracy. The question of Office
simply must be settled inside the
party with fairness to all aspirants.
Congressman Boatner's interview
are the words of good Democrat
and will serve as a warning to those
members of the party who are will
ing to split the Democratic organ
ization in twain for the considera
ticn of a paltry office. The only
way to defeat the Republicans and
Populists, should they enter into
dicker, is by united action on the
part of the Democ. attic leaders.
Let's go into this fight together and
victory is ours. If we fight be-
tween ourselves, the enemy will
step in and take it away from us.

From Franklin.

To the Lafayette Gazette:
Some time has elapsed since l
wrote you, but I have been very
busy and am busy yet. see no
rest ahead.
The health of our little city is
very good. a little measles now
and then. Our parish representa-
tive, Hon. J. Y. Sanders, has had
a tussle with measles, and he came
out victorious, afte. a long siege.
Was shocked to hear of the death
of Mrs. Eliza Greig. She was our
near neighbor for two years there,
and her calls were always pleasant
and appreciated.
Any Improvements going on in
Lafayette? Any new corners? Any
new papers? How are the old ones
doing? How is The Gazette?
Franklin is said to be on a boom,
and I suppose the present state of
prosperity is unprecedented, and it
is unaccountable. Last year, when
it became known that the bounty
on sugar was lost, our leading men
predicted that property in the town
and parish would depreciate fifty
per cent in value, and that business
would be paralyzed for some time
to come. We are glad to say that
exactly the opposite has been the
result. Building sites are in active
demand, houses ale rapidly going
up, and thy are occupied as soon
as built. Business houses are not
being ereted as rapidly as dwellings,
yet Mr.. M. Bell has begun on Main
street, store house, which is to
cost $4,000.
Crop prospects are good, and
wedding bells are ringing as though
the town were on fire. This scribe
alone has married three couples in
less than two weeks.
With love for all in Lafayette,
and success to The Gazette, we put
down a period. H. ARMSTRONG.

Obituary..

Mrs. Lucinda Spell Hoffpauir,
wife of Mr.. Nathan Hofpauir, died
at the family residence eight miles
south. west of Duson near Indian
bayou, on the 9th of May, after long
illness. The deceased was born in
Vermilion parish on the 10th of
October, 1915. She had been mar
ried sixty-t two years and would have
been SO years old in October. She
had run her race, fought the good
| fight, and laid up her treasures in
heaven. Mrs. HoHpauir was one
Of the kindest and most gentle Of
women and was universally beloved.
She was a member OF the Methodist
church and one of the most faithful
and constant Of Christians. Through
all her sufferings she was patient
and gentle. She leaves thirteen
children. five daughters and eight
sons. Her living. posterity num-
bers two hundred and four. Her
remains were followed to the grave
by a vast assemblage of relatives,
friends and acquaintances, all in
solemn silence sitting their grief at
the loss of good woman. On
looking over the long line Of process
sion we thought truly that the "me-
mory of the righteous shall live".
The 'rrowing husband and child
rem who feel that their loss is indeed
irreparable, should not sorrow how
ever as those having no hope. They
have the consolation of KNOWN;
that "the Lord hath given the
Lord hath taken .way", and that
s'his name is blessed". In her life
and in her death, her family and
friends have an example of a shining
memory Of virtue, unaffected good
ness and of religion pure and unde-
filed which should make an impress
sion never to be erased.
