E-ultOr 1LOulSlana IOnuiist
Dear Sir Sir Bombastus Flu
roso in half column editorial in
the Enterprise of the 4th inst. with
a considerable flourish of virtu-
ous(?) Indignation, calls upon the
undersigned and two others of this
ward o. to explain how we can
take the oath of Office and still
continue honest men men with
the courage to express our convic-
tons and declare ourselves for an
honest government.
| admit that it will be a pretty
tough job, but, as we were elected
by honest and Intelligent white vo-
tiers, / think it can be did"
But if it is part of the organic
and Statute law that a man must
pocket his conscience, lay aside his
self respect, close his lips, and be-
come silent accomplice to the
dastardly frauds which have been
perpetrated in the recent election
before he can qualify for and fill a
paltry and insignificant Office in
this parish, | for my part, want
''none of it."
He arraigns myself and others,
and accuses us of being Lawbreak-
ers and Anarchists.
Let it be understood that this
Eate'prising mouth-piece of the
gang, raves without reason, and
falsefies without shame, when he
speaks of anarchy,
When the Board of Supervisors
refused to count the votes of the
qualified electors and refused to al
low the ward and parish officers
whom we elected by a large MAORI
ty, to take the offices, rightly and
legally theirs, they began the reign
of Anarchy, because in SO doing,
we are deprived of necessary means
of enforcing the law, and if it fol-
lows that we are forced to look
out for ourselves and for each 9TH
err, who but they are to blame ?
What is an ANARCHIST !
One who nullifes the law by
force. Have not the Democrats
by force of their position nullifed
the Constitutional and Statute law
by fraudulently manipulating the
election returns of this parish, and
forcing upon the majority, usurp-
ers who were not elected, and they
have taken the oath of office.
Consistency thou art indeed a
virtue"
With a good deal of Democratic
pomposity and Gin the name of
the LAW &C." he demands that /
and others answer certain questions
which he propounds.
In the first place / deny his
right to demand any thing. If the
demands of justice were complied
with, where would he be 2 echo

full arms of the ring around him.
and he is protected from the same
LAW, whose name he profanes
with his unhalIowed pen,
In justice to myself and others
note a few of the inaccuracies"
said editorial teens.
He refers to us as s'base leaders,"
md to the intelligent white voters
If this ward as misguided men"
who bliudly follow us.
He further states that the reso-
utions adopted and endorsed by

pledges us to resist the legally con-
'tituted authorities of the State,
District and parish. This is a ma
icious falsehood.
The pledge requires us to recog-

elected officers and not such as are
seated through fraud.

ward in the parish, there being ten
VOTERS PROTECTIVE LEAGUES in
the parish to-day.
There are no anarchistical threats
or incendiary language embodied
in the pledge, it merely deuounces
the steal perpetrated in the recent
election by the Democrats, and
pledges the signers not to recognize
the authority of any person as an
officer unless LEGALLY ELECTED,
until compelled to do so by force.
eff this is treason, make the
most of it."
lie further states that said reso-
buttons advise rebellion and blood

and rapine" under his tongue as a
sweet morsel, all of which are false
hoods emanating from his fertile
imagination and come with bad
grace from his pen.
The resolutions advise the hon.
est voters to demand these inalien-
able and indisputablc rights given
| them by the Constitution. and
nothing more.
He then rears himself back on
his dignity, and in a tone of injur-
ed innocence inquiries how we, the
elected candidates to the offices in
ward 5, in the face of all this can
come to Natchitoches and take the
oath of Office which binds us to up
hold the Laws and Constitution of
the State.
That can best be answered by
asking him if he did not take the
oath as a Federal officer with the
undricd gore of a human being on
his hands, shot down IN cold blood,
like dog, by himself and others
whom he had armed and whether
he and an accomplice did not in
April of 1892, defraud the same
man whom he now eulogizes as
"sterling Democrat" viz: >. d.
McEnery, of forty or fifty votes
by stufIing the ballot box at Hor-
tons in this ward, his name being
on the fraudulent tickets as candi-
date for Clerk against Hyams.
Query, would he have qualified
had he succeed in being counted in !
That's felony and can he proved
by several eye witnesses, criminal
before God and man, if not under
the LAW of Natchitoches parish.
Further, is he not aware that
certain "Stalwart" who took
prominent part in the late steal was
accused of stealing stock, and es-
capped, the Lord and the Ring only
knows how.
And that the last mentioned par
ty is q confessed ballot box suffer,
having boosted to parties in this
ward how he and another Commits
sioner of election in bygonc cleo
ton took the ballot box home with
them and voted all night, fixing
the poll list and tally sheets to suit
themselves, made oath to and sign
ed them,
That's perjury, and perjury is a
crime. Still this man holds an Of
fee and took an oath to support
the Constitution and LAWS OF the
State.
Again is he not aware that it las
been proven that the late Attorney
General of the State, a resident of
the city of Natchitoches, and a
bright and shining light in the
State and local ring, has been gull
ty of the most shameful political
deals, (viz, 1879 60) against the
Peace and Dignity of the State,
and so on, I'D li6itiam, intiaitum ct

oath of Office, pledging themselves

AN ELABORATE BANQUET
j. #. Fugazi Celebrates the Anniver-
sary of His Arrival In San
Francisco.

J. F. Fugazi gave an elaborate banquet
to his friends Saturday evening. 1t was
the thirty sixth anniversary of his arrival
here on board of the old steamer Califor-
MIA vessel long since broken up in some
forgotten shipyard.
The menu card was most fitting to the
occasion. 1t contained a pretty blue
tinted picture of the California entering
the BAY of San Francisco, with the Golden
Gate showing in The distance. Over this
was printed the bill of fare, which was dis
tinctly Italian throughout.
The banquet was presided over by the
Hon. K. c. Palmieri, and the toasts were
responded to by Joseph Pescia, A. D..

ERRORS IN THE PI ANS,
One Design for the New Munich.
pal Building Has Short
comlngS.
Apprehen sion That Plans for the Struc.
ture Are Defective and Need
Examination.

Merchants and profess ional men
throughout the vast business section of
the City east of Kearny street and south
of Washington are concerned in the pro-
posed new building to occupy the Old City
Hall site.
One set of plans submitted to the Board
OF Supervisors does not provide any en-
trance TO the main floor of the building on
the Northumberland or southern side.
Propertv-owners and others deeply in
terested have discussed the subject with
some vigor during the past week, ana an
effort will be made to convince the Super
visors that plans which do not provide the
facilities demanded by vast population
should not be accepted.
Many features of the building. apart
from the entrances, have been discussed.
Complaint has been made that one of the
plans, presented and one which seems to
have some strong advocates, gives for
juryrooms insufficient space and no mod
ern conveniences. 1t is also said that
rooms for the Prosecuting Attorneys and
Judges chambers have no direct connec-
ton with the corridors. Some of the jury
rooms are as small as 10x14 feet.
nc SpdCc dSSlSlI W VIC OAStiiSs oeIoA-
ney, the detective force and the criminal
department of the County Clerks office,
in the same plan, is said to be wholly in
adequate.
The requirement that space OF forty
two feet should be left between the build
ing and the Morgue has been ignored also.
The defects of interior planning concern
chiefly the officers who will occupy the
building. but the denial of an easy and
accessible entrance on Merchant street
would compel thousands OF citizens to
travel block out of their way to enter on
Kearny or Washington street.
When the municipal offices were down.
town in the old City Hall more than one
half the admissions were from Merchant
street. Naturally persons coming from
Battery, Sansome, Front, California, Bush,
Pine, Suffer. Post and the other leading
streets east of Kearny would go along
and cut through by the
shortest route to the hall. For day, a
week or month the going of block out
Of ones way would cut no particular fig
ure, but it would make quite difference
when years were calculated.
There is an apprehension that the Su-
pervisors have not given this subject the
study that it deserves, and that some steps
will be taken to-day towards accepting
plans which do not fulfill public require
ments.

Manus and Stansbury won the final by

was the winner on the previous occasion,

SOCIALISTS IN POLITICS,
Their Local Labor Party Pre-.
pairing for an Active
Campaign.
It Will Have a Complete Ticket of
Its Own in the F eld This
Year.

The members of the Socialist Labor
party of this City and State are not max
ing much of stir, but they are laying out
the work for an active political campaign
this year. Its branches and sections are
busy. The sections are made up of
branches, and at present there are sections
in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles,
San Diego and San Bernardino.
These sections have recently selected a
State Executive Committee of fifteen mem
bers. Section San Francisco's delegates are
H. F. Sahlender, Edel Hecht, Theodore
Lynch, Emil LESS and G.. B. Benham.
The committee will meet on next Monday
and formulate plans for carrying on the
work in the towns of the State.
The local executive committee is advo-
eating the establishment of headquarters
for both committees on Market street and
the matter is being discussed in the
branches. The latter are also considering
plans for districting the city for political
purposes, and as soon as a plan is adopted
City Organizer S. Seller and others will be-
gin the work.
The local socialists will put ticket of
their own in the field and will not indorse
the candidates of any other political party.
Section Los Angeles will do likewise, as
it has large number of capable and active
workers in its ranks. 1t is doubtful if the
other sections will enter politics as
party, although Oakland and San Bernar-
dino may do so. If Section Oakland does
not it is safe to say that it will not have
anything to do with the Populist party,
which the Socialists say did not act in
good faith with them at the last election.
P. Ross Martin stated that the local and
entire vote of the United States will be
surprise to the public in general.
Some idea can be had of the increase in
the strength of the party from 1888 to the
present year. The gain claimed in the
United States is az follows: In 1888, 2068;
in 1890, 1881; in 1892, q, 1877; in 1894,
80, 1873; IN 1895, 1884.
This year many believe that the last
figure will be at least doubled. Recent
labor troubles and political disturbances
they think will cause many to vote with
the socialists if for nothing more than as
a protest against existing conditions.

Professor Wunsche says menthol dis

of all remedies. A solution of one to two
parts of menthol IN twenty parts Of chloro-

cold in its initial stage, but is also an ex-
cellent influenza prophylactic. From four
to SIX drops of the solution should be
placed in the hollow of the hand, quickly
rubbed between the hands, the two hands
tightly pressed together, placed before the
face, anu the remedy alternately inhaled
through the nose and the mouth. 1t will
