New York Fashion Notes.

Fancy waists are again very pop
ular for spring and summer wear
and even some costumes are sent
from the modiste with one or two
extra waists.
They are more often made in the
style Of Louis xiv and Louis XVI.
Such coats are very elegant, made
of brocade or satin with lace jabot
or ruf1es and with handsome waist
coats. Other fancy waists have an
added cross skirt in godet to imi-
tate the style of the coat. Some OF
the fancies of the summer season are
entire waists of embroidered batiste
and open work linon, mousseline de
sole. novelties in chiffon, etc. Many
of these waists are made with dow-
cred taffeta sleeves. The new
sleeves are smaller, dropping or
trimmed with rufles and pufs. A
fancy OF the season 10 to wear a
handsome bodice of black satin with
q light skirt. At many of the, spring
expositions Of gowns. the new capes
attract the most attention on ac-
count of the richness Of material and
the novelties in combination of COLI
or. The necks have elaborate
ruchas, collarettes of m%ousseline de
sole, lace, ribbons, flowers and jets.
The Mcdowell Fashion Magazine at
hand contain many new ideas OF
great value to both professional and
amateur dressmakers. sIf you are IN,
able to procure these journals from
your newsdealer do not take any
substitute, but apply by mail to

14th Street New York.

were also good. The Republicans,
apparently actuated solely by a spirit
of opposition to everything Demo
cratic whether good or bad, had
their tickets printed against all the
Amendments. This, together with
the Democrats who voted against
them all. because of the above clause
in the Suffrage Amendment, showed
under each and every Amendment
good or bad. This Is somewhat like
the shepherd who having found in
his herd a wolf dressed in a sheepskin,
not only killed the wolf, but all his
sheep in order to be sure to get rid
OF some other wolf which might be
there.
Most of the Amendments were
good and we would rather have seen
all adopted than all rejected.

The Suffrage Amendment.
Weekly Ibirian.

Weekly IbIrian.
AS stated elsewhere the election
in Iberia was very quiet one. This
was because it was agreed upon by
both sides to keep the negro out Of
the matter and let the white votes
decide the issues.
Iberia vas one of four parishes,
ESQ we learn) the others being st.
Martin, Lafayette and Vermilion,
where the negro remained quietly at
home and the whites settled the
questions.
This is as it should be, and we
hope that the showing under Of the
suffrage Amendment by the white
vote Of Iberia does not mean that
our people expect to make use OF
the negro vote at some future date
to aid them in carrying outs ome pet
scheme. We do not believe the
whites who so religiously battled a.
gainst this sort of thing in 1884
would willingly cast a vote which will
make the negro an equal in the affairs
of our state, parish and town. We
are not inclined to think that our
people will willingly by their vote
bring about a condition of bloodshed,
war and anarchy such as vas waged
in st. Landry, where business has
been wrecked for more than a month
past and where business will not
fully revive from the effects of this
blow it has received for many a long
day to come.
We believe the Suffrage Amend
ment was defeated in this parish, be-
cause of its unfortunate wording,
which gave the General Assembly
the power 10 alter it upon the proper
vote.
This was an unfortunate clause,
but few persons stopped to think
that the proper vote for any change
would mean a three-fourths vote Of
both houses and the signature Of the
Governor, an almost impossible &C.
u But II, this 40 + nsnt had had the h,, e,
eot Of Ii dible ne others which
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1896-05-02

been hers, but which will almos
naturally be drawn to the large
towns Of New Iberia and Lake
Charles.
At the present time New Iberia
has the advantage of Lake Charles
in that, so far Is we know, but
80 miles is to be built at present
thus giving New Iberia a chance to
get right into the heart of this beaut
tiful country.
And now comes the question,
"How can we draw this valuable
business in our direction when it is
opened up" The answer is plain.
BY pulling together in a long pull
and by never letting up.
Our people "a pull together when
occasion requires as was shown by
the Jesuit of the Carnival Association
Wilhelm sixty days accomplished a
her lanean task with very great
to themselves and to our
city.
With this evidence of what we can
do let us take hold of the many
business problems which confront US
as a community and settle them as
promptly and efficiently as we did
the Carnival.
Another business chance is now
our grasp. Shall we let 9TH
ers take it from us?

PEHARR'S WHITE SUPREMa
ACY.

Capt. Pharr and his friends, who
owe their election to negro votes
are bowling for white supremacy"
and making ma udlin appeals to the
"white people" of Louisiana to see
that they have Justice" In this
connection it is well to read what
L. A. Martinez, one the ablest ne
groes 10 the State, says about this
~pretense. Referring to Pharr's
election before utterances and the
fact that he supported him Marti.
net says:
Moreover, he averred that he
was a republican, and backed his
averment by urging the appointment
Of colored men on tn national re.
publican" state central committee.
This was proclaiming political
equality, and not advocating white
supremacy"-a fact which rallied
solidly the colored voters to his sup.
port, even though they had cause
not to be pleased with the manage
ment Of his campaign by those en-.
trusted with it.
Even if it be true that he has
carried most or all Of the white
parishes, Capt. Pharr should not
forget that it was the colored vote
in those parishes which determined
his majorities. or considerably in
creased them. Wherever the
colored votes had protection, or a
chance to vote. they voted solidly
for him. No class OF voters We're
more loyal to Pharr than the colored
men; they alone have been killed
for trying to vote for him. 1t ls
hardly to be supposed that they
would have risked their lives in an
endeavor to elect him if they believe
he was a white supremacist."
Had he made his last nights
speech at his Washington Artillery
Hall meeting, at the opening of the
campaign, his vote, with all his white
majorities, would have been so in
considerable that the contest he pro-
poses to institute would be ridiculous.

Another Business Chance.

Weekly Iberian.
The Iberia and Vermilion Rail-
road is being surveyed west of Alb
beville and it is believed by the
citizens of that town that it will soon
extended about 80 miles beyond the
present southern terminus.
This may mean much to the
business men of New Iberia if they
watch the situation and make or
binary efforts to grasp the advan-
tages this extension may give them.
West Of Abbeville is an immense
country prairie country which has
been largely, and is being rapidly
opened up. Immense canals have
been cut across this prairie and tens
of thousands of acres of rice is
being planted in what was until late
ly virgin soil. The building of this
road will hasten the development OF
the country very rapidly.
Its extention 30 miles will take
the road to Lakeside now a small
hamlet on the southside of Lake
Arthur. From Lakeside to Lake
Charles is a distance of about 80
miles farther, and If built this so
miles OF road will materially shorten
the distance between New Iberia
and Lake Charles, or what is to the
purpose of the railroad, between
New Orleans and Houston.
But to resume Between New Iberia
and Lake Charles via this new route
is a distance of 60 or 20 miles of an
absolutely new country. Rice, stock,
corn, chickens, eggs,et s'are the pro-
ducts of this section at present. AS
it developes there will be opened up
a large new section where our mer-
chants, our sawmllls, and factories
can ship large quantities of their
wares, if they will combine and work
together to get it. Lake Charles
will surely make an effort to take
this trade from us and she may
prove no mean commercial rival. Alb
beville will do what she can to keep
this trade much of which has always
