~ tne silver purchasing clause OF tne

was heard almost daily, and his elo-
quent voice and vehement manner at
tracted universal attention. lie was
one of the youngest men ever known to-
participate in debate and occupy such
leadership as was accorded to SENATOR
Du Bots by all of his colleagues. No,
man ever received so high compliment
as was paid to Senator Du Bots, when
the distinguished ex-secretary of the
interior, Senator Teller, the longtime
recognized leader of the silver sena-
tors, maintained silence himself, and
urged Senator Du Bots to the front,
There was also the eloquent and
aggressive Senator Wolcott, of Colo

of the senate, but held his ground in q
creditable manner.
When the reorganization of the SEN
ate takes place Senator Du Bots will be
made chairman of the committee on
public lands, position which will en-
able him to do much for his state. He
has been member of the committee
for two years and had experience in
legislative affairs as delegate in con-
gross from the territory of Idaho, and
as member of congress from the new
state of Idaho before his election to
the senate. Prior to that he was United

The Stock Law.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-As you are suppos-
ed to know everything and little more,
| want to ask you one or two questions
which ! hope you will angwer.
As we have stock law in force in this
parish, whose duty is it to look after the
half-starved herds of cattle and horses
running at large contrary to the law7
The number is increasing every day to
the great terror Of the planters and gar
deners.
Is it the duty of the planters to gather
up these lawless herds and. drive them
down town where the copstables general
" stay and ask them TO take care Of them,
or is it the parish constahles' duty to occa-
sionally look around and sec II the parish
laws, which they are elected to enforce,
are being carried out or not9 Wehope that
our parish contables will be little more
diligent in the discharge Of these duties as
every man has right to expect that he
will be protected by the laws under which
he lives and no man. who is man. will
blame an officer for faithfully and i'm
partially discharging his duty. irrespec.
tive Of party friends and foes.
The man who has not the backbone
and pluck to carry out these principles
should not allow himself to hold Office.
II is q very importans question to the
planters Of this parish to know whether
Or not the stock law is to be enforced.

There is no denying the fact that Low

migrants coming within our borders.
Southwest Louisiana seems to be the ter
minal point of large per cent of those
coming to the State. If this is any sign
of prosperity We are certainly reaping
our reward for our efforts in inducing
immigrants to locate among us.-Crow-

And scared to death they feared it's banks
