To celebrate the glorious date of indie

Or let him toll and strain and strive in

Or let him do thousand things that eager

To lure the wary dollar and corral the MIN

which l. subniitted TO the people themselves
60 vote for or against At the general election
in April 1895. Seventy foar members of
the lleuse. among whom was your repre-
sentative. voted to submit the amendment to
the people, and nine members only voted
against the submission of the amendment,
among whom were three negroes. IF Mr..
Julian Mouton and some of his colleagues
had not voted to kill the Suffrage bill, GER
tain per cent Of the best citizens of your par
ish and other sections of the State who can
not read or write, would have been deprived
of the privilege of voting and excluded from
the polls at the coming election in April next.
As a member of the House your representa-
tive has done all in his power to preserve to
his people the right of suffrage, and it seems
to me that they will be grateful to him for
his stand the Suffrage question when
these parts are made known TO the public.

Never in the history Of Louisiana
have the people witnessed such a
disgraceful scramble for spoils as is
shown by the white Republicans and
freshing part Of the whole business
is, that we are coolly informed that
all these shameful dickers and COM
bination of different elements are
made to save the State from the
evil Cd influences of Democracy
And we are told these things by
such notorious scoundrels as Kel-
logg, Warmoth, Cage and Demas.

The following paragraph was
clipped out of a very able editorial
which appeared in the St. Landry
Clarion Of Jan. IS:
elf men claiming to be Demo-
Gratis, no matter what may be their
social position or influence, are to
be permitted to wear Democracy as
a cloak, to be put on and off as self
interest or factional spirit may die
tate, then we had better have no
party organization at all. A set Of
politicians in Democratic district
or parish who have lost their hold
upon the Democratic masses and
have to maintain themselves, if at
all, by animation with the
enemies of the Democracy, should
for very shame cease all claim to
consideration save that accorded to
the spokesman intent only upon cap
turing an Office. Surely no one will
deny but that all Democrats shoul 1
be forced to respect aud obey lcgit-
imate Democratic authority.

In speaking of the lady who is soon to
marry ex-President Harrison, New York
correspondent of the Chicago Times Herald
says: 1.-The axiom that little men incline
naturally to tall women is shattered in the
present instance. Mrs. Dimmick is petite.
She confers upon her future husband the
dignity of great Stature when they walk to-
gether. She must look up to him. Mrs.
Dimn1ick is not Gin society," She does not
shake your hand with an alti:udinous twist
in greeting. She has never been more ac-
cessible than since her engagement an
nounccd, but she will not be Interviewed
She is not beautiful woman in the ordinary
sense. She has neither unfathomablc eyes,
faultless features nor ravishing complexion.
1t is not the senses she takes by storm, but
the heart. Her face is fairly youthful, with
the ebullience of good feeling. The eyes
dance with enjoyment she talks, and the
lips smile frequently and almost girlishy.
She is woman enough to raise her hand to
her ha ir once twice, SO that you may see
her engagement ring, and you like her the
better for it. Her eyes have prevailing
tnts of hazel, and every school girl knows
that such eyes mean steadfastness and truth.
| The face is a little care-worn, but you re-
| member that its owner has been tried in the
| battle of life. The forehead IS low, broad
and unwrinkleel, and crowned with an am
| pie coronet of soft brown hair; the nose
straight and delicate; the lips a trifle too
thin, perhaps, but firm and contented in ex.
| pression.''

The refusal Of the Virginia Legis-
lature to adjourn on Gen. Robert E.
Lees birthday was certainly not
calculated to reflect any honor upon
that legislative BODY. Such action
might have passed unnoticed had
the legislature been of the carpet
bag kind, but it is abso lutely in
credible when it is known that the
present legislature is composed OF
Democrats, and Southern Demo
Gratis at that.

Receiots Of Corn.

-. Z
Times Democrat.
The flood Of corn still continues
to pour in this direction, and is
fully testing the terminal facilities
of New Orleans. A few years ago,
when we did an exceptionally large
grain business, the facilities for stor-
ing and handling it were greatly in
creased, but they are not up to the
present phenomenal business. One
road alone, the Illinois Central, is
nearly congested with the corn des-
tined for New Orleans it is handling.
It's elevators are filled, with as much
corn in them as they can possibly
hold. It has goo cars loaded with
corn, awaiting shipment and tied up
here because there IS no place where
the grain can be stored. No less
than rs carloads were taken to Port
Chalmette to be exported from there,
but this failed to give the needed
relief, for the corn continues to
pour in here as rapidly as it is ex-
ported.
The Illinois Central has been re-
celving 200 carloads daily, and has
1000 cars of corn destined for New
Orleans on the road between here
and Cairo. Great as the business is
now, it is expected to still further
improve, and it is predicted that the
corn exports in March will greatly
exceed that of January.
The United States will do the
largest business with Europe this
year in the matter of the exporta-
ton of corn it has ever known, and
New Orleans will probably lead the
Union. Europe has hitherto taken
but small quantity of coin from
US, and has never fully realized the
good qualities of the American &C.
real. 1t is very cheap this year,
and as consequence great deal of
corn is being exported. This ought
to make Europe better acquainted
with corn, create a demand for it
there and assure us of a good mark
ct for the largest crop this country
produces, and which in the past we
have mainly consumed at home.
New Orleans will always get it's
full share of this business, as it is
the nearest port to the centre of
corn prodution.

FRANKLIN, La, Jan. 16, 1895.

FRANKLIN, La, an. I6, 1895.
Mr.. Louis G. Sicily, Carencro, La:
DEAR SIR:-Replying to yours dated Jan.
9th for information from me as a member of
the House of Representatives concerning the
course pursued by Mr.. Julian Mouton, rep
resentative from your parish, on the Suffrage
question at the last session of the Legisla-
ture in 1894, will give the following state
1nent showing the position taken by Mr..
Mouton on the subject of the Suffrage at
said session: Hon. a. Bcnoit, representa-
tive from the parish of Ouichita, and the
leader of the Populists on the floor of the
House, introduced bill in the Legislature
in which it was carefully provided that no
assistance should given the voter by any
one in the preparation of his ballot. Under
the provisions>of that bill, if it had passed,
could have voted for the candidates
of his choice unless he had known how to
read and write. The Benoit bill had most of
the features which commonly known
the Australian Ballot System. The bill was
lnittee, composed of members among whom
were Mr.. Julian h1outon and myself. When
the bill came up before the committee for
action only eight members and the chairman
were present; Mr.. Benoit, who was also a
member, presented his views for favorable
report on his bill, and the first to rise in
the committee and to take issue with MIR.
Benoit was your representative, Mr. Mouton,
who stated among other things that he would
do all in his power before the House, he
was doing before the committee, to kill that
bill because, if it passed. it would have the
effect of DISTINGUISHING about 40 per cent of
the best citizens of his and adj Dining parishes
Z who had been deprived without their fault
of the advantages of education. A vote
was taken and tic resulted, and the chair
casting his vote Tor the bill it was favorably
reported. Mr.. Mouton did not give up the
fight, however; he was among the first to
sign call for the committee to meet and re-
! consider the subject. The committee met,
slle merits Of the measure were again dis
russcd and the Benoit Suffrage bill was kill
ed. i'bcn cafne up before the House on

WHERE NE STAND.
YouNGsv1LLE, La, Jan. z2, 1896

WHERE We STAND.
YouNGsvILLE, La, Jan. II, 1896.
To the Editor of the Lafayette Gazette:
Mr.. ED1ToR:-In your last issue, com
menting editorially upon the alleged mis-
statements of certain writer's about the pro-
posed constitutional amend ment. You say you
offer the following explanation: SIT is tc
the people that this question belongs and The
Gazette will try to state the matter clearly tc
Its readers z0ithout elfze, taking oae side o,
the ofAev.''
AS citizen of the parish of Lafayette and
one of your subscribers, would be pleased
to learn from you what stand you propose
taking in reference to this proposed amend
ment7
AS staunch and lifetime Democrat and
an ardent advocate of party fealty, you can
take but one stand, it seems to me, and that is
to support with all your strength the action
of the Democratic convention held last De
cember at Shreveport
That convention, you must be fully
aware, pronounced in favor of the Suffrage
amendment. Respectfully,
BENZ. F. FLANDERS.
The editorial mentioned above
was not intended to convince any
one, but only to make what we
thought to be clear explanation of
the suffrage amendment.
In answer we will say that Mr..
Flanders is evidently not acquainted
with the history of the Democratic
party in this State when he says
s9that as a staunch and lifelong
Democrat and ardent advocate Of
party fealty' the editor of this pa
per can take but one stand
to support the amendm ent.
1t is for that very reason
we oppose it. 1t should be re-
membered that the first Democratic
governor elected in this State, Gov.
Alex Mouton, native of this par
lsh, was elected on the platform of
universal suffrage, the Wings, the
political ancestors of the Republic
can party Of to-day, favoring the
then existing property qualification.
: 1t was under that Democratic adj
ministration that the Constitutional
convention Of 1S45 was called and
held and by which universal suf-
frage was for the first time embodied
in our organic law. And all
this in the name of the Democratic
party.
From our view this is matter of
conscience. Being one Of those
who believe that principle should
never be abandoned for expedien-
cy or compromise, we are unalter-
ably opposed to the adoption of the
amendment.
AS to whether our views coincide
or not with what Mr.. Flanders con-
ceives to be the duty of a Demo-
crat is of no concern to US. We do
not go to Republicans to get advice
as to what we should do in order to
be a consistent Democrat.
