LouIsIANA's REPUBLICANS.
The Sugar Planters and Regulars
Get Together.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 16.-After every

differences to-day and chartered special
train upon which delegation went to
the state capital to inform the secretary
Of state in order that proper changes
might be made in printing the state bal
lots. The time to make changes expired
at o'clock this afternoon.
on arriving at Baton Rouge, the recon-
cled republican factions were confronted
by an unlocked for obstacle to their
wishes. The secretary of state refused to
permit the withdrawal Of any Of the tick
cts, on the ground that the time for such
action has expired. The delegation, there
fore. could do nothing. This will leave
the two full tickets in the field and lead to
inextricable confusion.
Capt. Donnelly, chairman Of the Howell
sugar planters campaign committee, says.
"The action Of the secretary Of state will
help, rather than retard. the polling OF
big joint republican vote, for the people
will now see that the Foster state gov
eminent wants TO steal our votes"
The courts will be rcsorted to in the
morning, SO both factions say.

Many and various are the discussions of
the new woman" but most of the women
we've seen have no aspirations toward the
emancipation of their sex from any yoke
except the burdensome yoke of Ill health.
They all seem to think-and think rightly
that their proper field is their home, and to
work faithfully in this field she must be
strong and hearty. Care is peculiarly
woman's heritage. But it was not the new
woman" or any other kind of woman that
we started out to talk about. 1t is a imam
in the case" this time and a man, too, that
thinks he ia the newest kind of thew
man."
From what he tells us, he has good cause
to think so. There is no comparison between
his present state of feeling and that of two
years ago. But let the following speak for
itself. We published few weeks ago a
statement of the miraculous cure of Mr.. j.
NJ. Foster, of Carriers Creek, now one of the
HerGld's men, from locomotor ataxia Ia dis
ease said TO be incurable), by the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The account was read by numbers Of peo-
pie who wer, eyewitness of his bodily suf-
ing and who know what Mr.. Foster stated to
be true beyond peradventure of a doubt !;
it was read by others, also, who believe it
just the same as if they, too, had seen all, be-
cause Mr.. Foster is well known over the
country TO be man of unimpeachable vera
city.
So strong is his belief in the DR.. Will
liams' Pills, he has influenced number of
other people to use them, and all have be-
came as ney persons.
One of the number is young man of
Southport, Maury County, Tennessee, Mr.
N. +. Murphy. He is only twenty-one years
old, and being of rather delicate constitu-
ton, has been afflicted the greater part of
his life.
Young Murphy says he verify believes
that very few people of any age or cline
have been called upon to endure the bodily
suffering which he has undergone.
In an interview with the Herold, he told
us the following, which we give in his own
words:
Five years ago was attacked with a
severe spell of Ia grippe, which affected me
very much. However, with the summer

deep mourning and the primate's throne
was heavily draped with black.

ties have been used in place of the old
