the one who banishes all newspaper

all American newspaper men should

found one such if we are to accept his

accounted for by Weyler's allegations

be worried by Weyler's complaints at
what he terms irritating interference

every heart for the old home, and
the memories which cluster about
the dear old spot are solaces in the

day by day to build in our new

children in future time will turn,
as we turn now to the old place
where our loved ones in the even

Government by Injunction.

Instead of incurring the expense,
hard work and worry of a square.
toed fight for prohibition in the
recent election, some of the lead
ers, backed by a half dozen law
yers, decided on the much easier
plan of government by injunction,
recently established by their pat
ron saint Grover Cleveland.
Hence on last Saturday every.
body in any way connected with
the conduct of the election on the
following Monday was enjoined
from doing anything of the kind,
and so last Monday the commits
sioners and clerks appointed to
hold said election were kept from
doing so by order of the court.
But the people present at the polls
on the morning of the election ap-
pointed their own commissioners
and clerks and proceeded to hold an
election with the result elsewhere
stated.
The matter will now be tried in
court, and the people will have
but little to do with determining
the result.
The election will no doubt be
thrown out on pretty much the
same principle. and mostly by the
same people that oficiated In the
steal of this parish from the Pop
ulists last Spring, and while we do
not approve of it, we are compeil-
ed to emphasize the fact, to those
most interested on the losing side
this time, that when any political
party is allowed to run rough shod
over the rights of another party
the ring leaders of that same par
ty will not hesitate to trample un-
der foot the rights of any faction
of ITS own members who dares to
oppose the bosses.
To speak a little more plainly !:
the Democrats who favor Licenses
in this parish all voted the straight
Democratic ring boss ticket last
Spring, and then either stood by
or helped to count out the Popu-
lists. Now they are going to be
treated to dose of the same kind
of medicine by the same bosses,
and will realize how nice it is to
have a few heads to run a big par
ism, and also how pleasant it is to
be. against the bosses.
