In the Lead.

In the way of hotel accommoda-
ton Lafayette is ahead of any
country town in louisiana. AT
least this is the unanimous opinion
OF the drummers, and they ought to
know. While all attest the merit S
of the Crescent Hotel particularly
under the present management, the
R1gues House continues to enjoy
that reputation for which it is de-
servedly famed far and wide. Es-
pecially among the commercial
travellers may be heard praises of
this popular hotel, which has done
a considerable amount of good to
our town, for what will more favor
ably impress a stranger with a town
than a good hotel. A newcomer
will very likely form an opinion of
a country from the treatment he re-
ceives at its hotels and this being
undoubtedly a fact one can readily
understand to what extent Lafa-
yette owes its present prosperity to
its well-conducted hotels. A we'll
known New Orleans politician once
said to a representative of The Ca
zette that he doubted very much
the ability of any restaurant in the
Crescent city to give better meal
than the Rigues House.

The Fitness of the Thing.

The Fitness of the Thing.
Some Christian people are very much
exercised over the location Of a saloon who
do not give themselves any anxiety """r its
existence. If one is to be opened next to
them or their church, they are ready to cir
culatc petition and SO before the Board
with strong plea against it. But if it is on
another street and next door to another
church than theirs, they are willing to go t.,
the polls and vote for its continuance. Some
of our religious wcckles have been inter-
chang ing views on the advantages of the
placing of saloons near churches. One says:
The liquor saloon elsewhere will be just
bad as if placed at the door of the church.
Why not fight the whole system, and de-
naand that the saloons which places of
death and destruction, be driven out of ex
istence? We are too willing that saloons shall
live and thrive, if they do not come near our
homes and churches, no matter who else is
injured.' The New York Observer adds,
1--WE are not sure that saloons are at all more
out of place near churches than they are
elsewhere. Nature often puts the antidotc
near the poison. Church-goi people need
to be impressed with the universally of the
saloons, for some of them are altogether too
willing to let the saloons have its way, pro-
vided it does not approch too near to the
churches and the children.'' TO which an
other adds: s'All this is true and to the
point. For ourselves we have never been
able to understand the logic or see the con-
sstency of men who wax furious when a
saloon-keePer proposes to set up his den in
their block or next door to their church, but
who are quite calm and easy when it comes
to voting saloons upon their fellow-men
down in the slums-the very people who

and are least able to withstand their temp

A Serious CHARGE.


A few days ago Manuel Pascal
appeared before Justice McFaddin
and made ap affidavit against Clar-
ence Avart, Jno. Nngent, Sidney
Foreman and VOORHEES, Foreman
charging them with robbery and as
sault with intent to commit murder.
Sheriff Broussard and Deputy Mou-
ton went to Duson last Saturday
and arrested two of the parties and
brought them here Sunday morning.
The other two were arrested Mon
day. Their bail was fixed at $500
each and they were released from
custody Tuesday. Messrs. Jno.
Vigneaux, F. Otto, Jno. Nugent
and Gerard Foreman signed as
bondsmen. Pascal's story is to
the effect that on the grid of August
he and young negro went to
Queue Tortue to sell some fruits at
picnic which was given by the
people of that section and that the
above named parties took his fruits
away from him, assaulted his colored
companion and threatened to shoot
them; hence the affidavit. Mr..
Nugent claims that he had nothing
to do with the occurrence except as
pacifier.

Pocket knives at Biossat's.

Some months ago the American
people looked upon the Hon. Jacob
Sechler Coxey as monumental
crank and considered his scheme
for good roads and non-interest
bearing bonds as huge joke, but
recent developments have proven
that the famous general of the COM
monweal army is more of shrewd
fellow than a fool. He is publish
ing quite a creditable paper in the
advocacy Of his cause to which
converts are being made in large
numbers. He has been placed at
the head of the Populis: ticket of
the State of Ohio and his ideas of
good roads and bonds are embodied
in the platform CT that party, in
whose ranks are men of ability.
That Coxey has been unanimously
nominated for governor by the
Peoples Party shows that he is not
the fool he was represented to be
when forced to keep "off the
grass" at Washington. Who knows
that Coxey will not succeed McKin-
ley as chief executive of the Buck
eye State, and subsequently elevated
to the presidency, in which event

Cruyssen will be rendered 4 cabi-

prove failure. Generally free
from grass, seeds and volunteer Of

will continue until nearly the first

account Of divcrsification of crops,
but the number of new farms
opened large and the aggregate
acreage considerably in excess of
