COMMUNICATED.

AN APPEALING OPPoRTUN1TY.-I
have not yet noticed any special move
ments among the charitably inclined of
your city to provide for the needs OF
those ambitious and self-sacrifcing
sons of Africa who so sturdily welded
the baseball bat last summer on Royal
street commons when the farmers of
the surrounding neighborhood were in
great want of help to cultivate and
gather their crops. Surely this class of
your town ought not to be forgotten
now that the Summer is ended and
gone" and the rigors of winter are
upon us. Here, we think, is an ap.
pealing opportunity for some generous
person to organize a soup, coffee, rolls
aud clothing brigade to look up all
these young athletes and see that none
of them are unprovided with all the
needed comforts.
SWEET CHARITY.

To This Complexion Must We Come
At Last

The condition of political matters in
the parish of East Baton Rouge is Ia
mentable one and has been made the
subject of the most severe STRUCTURES
upon the Democrats of both factions
there. The situation is this: The fac
ton which controlled the party machin-
cry failed to provide for the nomination
of candidates of the party and made a
combination with the Republicans. The
other faction, seeing defeat staring hem
in the face, after holding out IA long
time, proceeded to buy up a number of
these same Republicans. and appear to
have got the biggest half of these wor-
thy sutfragans, whose illegal rights" aie
so dearly cherished by some people we
wot of. This made the fellows who first
bought them very mad, and talk of vio-
lence and bloodshed is rife on the streets
of the State capital.
Hero in st. Landry it is different.
While the people who controlled the
party machinery here acted almost pre-
cisely as did their fellows in Baton
Rouge, the other side are standing firm
as Il rock on the lofty emlnence of white
primaries and white supremacy, holding
aloft the banner of true Democracy and
inviting all good citizens to range them
selves beneath its folds.
Reader, what are you doing in order
to avert in ST. Landry such situation
as disgraces East Baton Rouge?
