have stopped in their declining

what the near future had in store
for us. Now. there is, undoubted-
ly, q more hopeful feeling. In our
own little town, there are indisputa-
bic proofs that trade has b-en steadily
improving. A number of large
houses have been built, a sugar re-
f1nery is in the course of construc-
ton, and lnnumerable other things
may be cited to prove that we should
not take a too pessimistic view Of
the present AMI future.
When the Wilson tariff bill be-
came law, the Republican press
prophesied all sorts of dire results,
but despite all this foreboding
there is irrefutable evidence that the
general trade of the country is
experiencing healthy growth.
The instructive kicker may tell
US that we are optimistic and there
is no fact on which to base the
hope that there are better times
ahead. One might as we'll say that
because the sun can not be seen in
all its splendor there will be no day.
The glimmer of light which may be
seen above the horizon is sure
sign that before long the sun of
prosperity will pierce its way through
the vanishing clouds.

Il STRANGE MEETING.

Il STRANGE MEETING.
There was a meeting at Domi
nique Boneaud's in the first ware
last Sunday, and from all account:
it was one of the most dismal fail
ures that it has ever been our dut,
as a journalist to chronicle. BY
what authority it was convened We
are unable to say. 1t was certainly
notves-ed with authority by the
parish committee for that honorable
body has not yet come together:
and it is hardly probable that it has
received its powers from a highe,
authority such as Chairman Wilkin-
son of the State Central Committee,
or Harrity of the National organi-
cation, and we do not believe that
even the "Society for the Crema-
zion OF Bosses and Dictators'
could be guilty OF such a breach OF
Democratic etiquette. Like kings,
perhaps the organizers of this singu-
lar convention, disregarded all
earthly sources for bestowal of
power, and believed themselves
designated by divine inspiration to
shape the political destinies Of the
first ward of Lafayette parish.
The meeting was called to order
by gentleman of pronounced anti
administration proclivities, who
proceeded to explain that its pur-
pose was to nominate a candidate
for Police Juror of the ward, stat
ing that said candidate would be
entitled to the undivided support of
she Democratic party. Though
this declaration might have ema-
mated from high authority, few Of
the gentlemen present would be
reconciled to this manner of no,ni-
mating candidate. The chairman,
who, it seemed, was bent on making
ferocious onslaughts. on Cushing's
parliamentary laws, announced that
he would appoint six gentlemen who
would in turn appoint six others,
the twelve to constitute committee
to select candidate for Police
Juror. 1t was hard matter to find
twelve gentlemen willing to serve on
the committee, but finally the re-
CURED number was secured. The
then retired and after
mature deliberation made a report
to the chairman who proclaimed
that the result was the nomination
of Mr.. :Alonzo Lacey, worthy citi-
zen of that ward, for Police Juror.
'Fhe chairman stated that Mr.. Lacey
was selected by a majority Of one,
by the way, is quite strange
when it is considered that the COM
nittee was composed of twelve
members. By what process of fig
,ring this remarkable conclusion
vas reached will probably remain
one Of the strange features of this
'ery strange meeting.
The Gazette is reliably informed |
hat the choice of the committee |
vas not submitted to the convention,
Few will insist that this
way Of nominating a candidate: is in
with Democratic usage.
,ut all will concede that is de
sided improvement on the jury sys-
EN- In criminal cases the verdict
must be unanimous and in civil ,
uits two-thirds are required to rem
le, a Judgment, but here we are
presented with a case where the
Of oue in jury Of tsveIs'c
cites the point at issue beyond
dispute.
The majority Of those present
we're attracted there through cnrios-
~ and looked upon the whole pro-
:eetiings as huge joke.
