There is one medicine which
every family should be provided
with. We refer to Chambe RAINS
Pain Balm. When it is kept at
hand the severe pain of a burn or
scald may be promptly relieved and
the sore healed in much less time
than when medicine has to be sent
for. a sprain may be promptly
treated before Inflammation sets in,
which ENSURES a cure in about one
third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate attention, before the parts
become swollen, and when Cham
berlain's Pain Balm is applied it
will heal them without matter being
formed, and without leaving a scar.
A sore throat may be cured in one
night. A piece of flannel dam
pened with this liniment and bound
over the seat of pain, will cure
lame back or pain in the side or
chest in tweniy-four hours. 1t is
the most valuable, however, for
rheumatism. Persons afflicted with
this disease will be delighted with
the prompt relief from pain which
it affords, and it can be depended
upon to effect complete cure.

TIE STOCK La ~.

As may be seen IN another COL
umn the City Council of Lafayette
has instructed the mayor to call an
informal election to be held on
Nov. 9, to obtain the sense of the
white voters on the stock Law.
This action was taken by the Coun-
Gil at the request of petition, signed
by 100 voters, alleging that a ma
jority of the voters are in favor of
amending the law, so that stock be
prohibited from roaming at large in
the night time only. We believe
that the petitioners are mistaken in
this allegation and we are confident
that the law will be maintained as
it now stands. We have failed to
hear of a single reasonable argu-
ment against the law, while we
could advance, if necessary, any
number of valid points in its favor.
In this article we will confinc our
selves to only few of them, leav-
ing the balance for future issues.
The first and foremost reason
why the law should stand is-pro-
lection to the ladies and children.
With COWS, mules and horses graz
ing along the cutters it is dangerous
for them to venture on the street
without protector. They are Of
ten compelled to wade in the mud
across the street to avoid coming
in contract with some ferocious-
looking brute, running the risk of
being hooked by a COW or kicked
by vicious mule. This alone
should be sufficient to convince the
voters Of the unwisdom of the move
TO repeal the law. Who would not
prefer to do without milk and suf-
fer the high weeds forever, than be
responsible for the death of a single
woman or child? And it is no cx-
aggeration to say that the repeal OF
the stock law may lead to such n
serious calamity. And again what
right have We to endanger the lives
Of the ladies and children? They
too, have rights as well as men and
stock.
Taking cold, business view of
the question we see nothing against
the law and everything for it.
What would be the use of building
plank walks to be broken down by
horses and cattle ? The Police Jury
has built a brick walk around the
COurt-ilauSe SUuare 1t is a rather
poor piece Of work, but it is i'm
1neasurably better than none, and
should be protected; to allow stock
TO roam on the square will be prac-
.ically turning the brick-walk over
to our brute population, transform
ing the grounds around our temple
of justice into a sort Of Pawnee
Bill Wild West Show.
AS the law IS rigidly enforced in
she Iarish we are informed that
persons living near town are anX-
iously waiting for the repeal of the
law to drive their stock to the
corporate limits for grazing pur-
poses. Our town will then be
vast pasture tor the horses, mules,
COWS, sheep of the country people
as we'll as those of the townspeople.
The repeal of the stock law would
be a step backward, and Lafayette
can not afford to retrograde. She
is already too slow in the march of
progress.

ing the past few years that
conservative men have grown weary
if not thoroughly disguised with the
iocessant turmoil. But this card
indicates that hot campaign is
projected by the opposition to the
present Governor.
Of course, every good citizen
and true Democrat is opposed to
ring rule and machine methods, and
will vote against them. But the
question arises Does the defeat
of rings and machines in Louisiana
depend upon the defeat Of Govern
or Foster or the election of any
other particular Individual? We
think that experience will show that
they do not, and, further, that sup
port Of men fot high places solely
on their personalities have always
tended to strengthen such methods
and such institutions.
Louisiana, and New Orleans es-
pecially, have long been the victims
of ring rule and in every election
the "Reforn," cry has been raised,
but in the end the rings have been
more powerful, and the corrupt
election devices more ingenious and
potent than ever.
In this election we should, in our
opinion, seek for relief in reforms
in our election machinery and the
Limitation Of the franchise, and if
the Democratic convention shall de-
clare for such measures, it is to us
of little consequence who is the can
didatc, so long as he is pledged to
carry out the declarations of the
platform.
The States is at this time sup
porting no particular candidate for
Governor but it can see no inner
ent objections to Governor Foster.
He has made wise and just execu-
tive the finances of the State seem
to have been ably administered
twice he has interviewed in the Sc
rious troubles that threatened this
city with riot and bloodshed, when
the city authorities were unable, or
unwilling, Il. do their duty, and
brought order out Of threatened
chaos law and order and general
prosperity have prevailed, and, in
deed. we know of no obstacle at
present in the path Of our State to
happiness and prosperity. Why,
then, should we precipitate the
State into hot and acrimonious
contest over the State Offices and
patronage, or over the merits of
PARTICULAR individuals Those Of
the gentlemen engaged in this anti
Foster movement with whom we are
acquainted are citizens of the high
est responsibility and public spirit,
and they have given their time and
their money to the reform Of our
municipal government. We do not
believe they are seeking Off ce or
glory but the spectre OF combine
between Governor Foster and the
has inspired their hostility to the
Governor, and if it were true that
the reelection of Governor Foster
means the continued domination of
this city by the present corrupt mu-
nicipal oligarchy, they would be
entirely right but the Governor
has cnphatically denied that such
is the case, or that he is in any
combine inimical to the very best
interests of Louisiana and New Or
leans and there is evegy reason to
believe that in SO far as it lies with
in his power aud influence he will
seek to secure to this city a clean,
able and incorruptible government,
that will be an honor to the city
and an honor to the Democratic
party.

but was bravely looking to the well
coming future There is in the west
a great city, known all over the earth
as the type of eager, restless business
activity; a city which has been called
coarse and vulgar, because it was
young and brave, a city that has been
sneered at as utterly given over to
Mammon. Behold! On that day
every store and factory were closed,
the wheels that carry the commerce
of a continent were stopped; the hum
of trade was hushed; the pulse Of
traffic ceased to beat. And all this

that the coinage Of that metal at is

at such as may be established by in
ternational agreement, will drive all
nations from us, on account of a de-

not striving to build up infant indus

of the old world, in the matter OF
coinage. Our republican friends
should be as independent in money
matters as they are in the tariff. We
