Capt. Pharr, the old ignoramus from
st. Mary, who depends upon the vicious
and ignorant negroes tn make him gov
ernOr OF this great State, has never yet
told his deluded followers that when he
was receiving bounty on his sugar
that was rapidly making him rich he
never increased the wages of his labor
els, but when the bounty was withdrawn
he at once reduced their wages. He has
never told them that his first grievance
against the State administration was
that in order to somewhat equalize as
sessments, the property of the wealthy
men in St. Mary had been taxed SO as
to put them on the same footing with
the small property owners in that par
lsll and with the wealthy men of ad-
joining parishes, whose sugar planta-
tions had for years been assessed at
much higher figures than those in st.
Mary.
But he is going about the country in-
dulging in incendiary talk and occa-
siOnaly attempting to discuss ques-
tiOns of State of which he is as ignorant
as Sandwich islander. His reasons
for being in favor of free silver would
disgrace free negro, while his peculiar
"views" on the prices of levee building
and the retirement of the State debt
before maturity are enough to make II
horse laugh. la fact, every time the old
bounty grabber Opeus his mouth, he
puts his foot in it; and, protest as he
will, be cannot hide the fact that his
course is dictated by the most intense
selfshness, to crafty which he is ready
to OvertnrD existing conditions and
wreck the peace and prosperity of the
State.

OPELOUSAS, PARISH OF ST. LANDRY La. MARCH 1896.
A Tame Affair.

The Pharr meeting at Opelousas last
Saturday was rather tame affair. The
attendance was not large and the
speeches were tiresOme and aroused
but little enthusiasm. Mai. Wilson
presided, and Capts. Garland and Pharr,
Hardy Brian, C. f. Garland sa4d r. B.
Brooks were the speakers. Capt. Gar
land explained why he had Joined the
Peoples party and tried hard to prove
that Pharr was pop and that the Pharr
ticket was populist ticket. Pharr ad
vlsed his white supporters to go to the
polls armed, announced that he was for
free silver because that was the first
kind OF money he ever knew, and be-
cause gold pieces were too troublesome
to take care of and to handle-had to
be wrapped up in paper to keep from
losing them-and tried to persuade the
negroes that the Republican system of
protection which has enriched the man
ufacturers of the North and East at the
expense of the toilers iu every part of
the country was what was needed to
make this country blossom like the rose
and flow witt, milk and honey. Hardy
Brian assailed Gov. Foster for suDdry
and various derelictions of duty as
Democrat, but could find nothing to
say in condemnation of his adminstra-
ton as Governor. He ranted consider
ably over the suffrage amendment and
falsely stated that in order to vote under
its provisions Il man must know how to
read aud arrite. This was not so bad
break, however. as that of Taylor
Beattle, who was reported in d New
Orleans paper to have stated at Lake
Charles that the voter was required by
the amendment to understand the con-
a t,.tv iii TO-
ciaimer from Judge Beattie in the mat
ter. nor any denial of the erroneous
statement.
The other speeches can hardly be said
to have been any better than those we
have adverieh to, and on the whole, as
we have said, the meeting WAS not
mucl. of success.

We are pleased to learn from good
authority that the st. Landry State
bahk Is IN fair way to resume bust.
ness at day not far remote.
The sudden death of Alphonse Lew
It's late president. had given rise to con.
siderable alarm among the depositors-
alarm that amounted to a panic-and
mad 1t thrown it's doors open the next
Gay there was good reason to fear a rush
LOT the deposits, and the danger for the
stability of the institution could NOT
nave been Overestimated.
AS stated last week, the board of di
Iectors proceeded to Il reorganization
6y electlng E: M. Boagni president, Il.
.. fontenot vlee-presldent, and +. Diet
ieln cashier. Fully alive to the difficult
ties surrounding them, the directors pro
ceeded to a careful examination of the
condition of the bank This has occu-
pied their attention for one whole week.
Representatives of the largest creditors
OF y. Meyers Il Co. reached here during
the week and have been in daily consul
tation with the board. The outcome
has been such as to inspire confidence
among the directors, and there is eveIy
prospect that tue bank will soon be on
as sound foundation as it ever was.
OUR people are too much interested in
THIS institution not to give it all their
aid.
No bank ia the world could stand a
rush OF its depOsitors unless it received
outside aid. We would therefore urge
on our people patience and in every way
to assist the board in its laudable efforts
to protect the depositors and the stock
holders.
The directors, as well as the officers,
are such men as cannot fail to inspire
confidence.
