childish conversation, was over
heard, which will serve to illustrate
this point. One OF the neighbor's
children had been playing with a
bright little girl, of six, who was
seated drumming on the piano.

To the parents the blame is mostly
due of bad habits formed in child

her children how to eat In manner

them, when small, dish deep enough |

The Cultivation of Cane.

We have learned from Mr.. Albt.
Levert, the manager of the st.
John refinery and plantation. that
they are not, and will not bid for
any outside cane. He says all
they can do is to grind their own
cane, and that raised on their
lands by their tenants.
This is certainly fair warning
for those who live in the vicinity
of st. John, not to plant any cane,
unless they have some other way
to dispose of their crop. The best
thing these people can do is to
quit the cultivation of the cane,
unless a refinery is erected to use
the outside cane.
Those of the cane growers who
are close to town can sell their
cane at the switch, but the switch
can only take a certain amount Of
cane, and no more, therefore, un-
less the small cane growers secure
more railroads or other means OF
disposing of their cane, they had
better reduce instead of increa-
sing their acreage.

Our old friend further says:
"My relations with Governor Fos-
ter, are not friendly; but in JUS
tice to him, l must say that I am
not aware that he has made pro-
misses to any one, that he has not
kept, nor can l say that he has be-
trayed his friends as l am not one
of them"
We presume Mr.. Mouton has
not forgotten the fact that he was
the first man in this parish to
espouse the 'anti-lottery Foster
cause, that he was the leader who
organized clubs throughout the
parish, and to him is due the
great victory won in this parish
in carrying it by several hundred
votes for Foster; has he forgotten
these facts, was he not then the
friend of Foster? Who has made
more work for Foster in that cam
paign than he, no one.
And when the time came for ap-
pointment of parish officers, what
did Foster do? He gave a majo-
rity of the police jury to the poll
teal enemies of his friends, and
in the school board, ousted every
one of them except Mr.. Robert
Martin, and thereby put the school
board in the hands of those who
had opposed him. Mr.. Mouton
was then President of the school
board, and his name was submit.
ted to Governor Foster for ap.
pOintment, but he was summarily
ousted as the rest of them; is it g
wonder that he is not friendly to
Foster today? We think not
though he seems to have for.
cotton these facts. Is this not
betraying friends?

To avoid the cutting of rates we
informed the secretary of the
police jury of the existance of Act
1873 of 1894 and requested that the
police jury elect parish printer
according to law, but the police
jury preferred to let itgo under the
hammer.
We asked the editor of the VAL
ley of the Teche toilet us have the
contract this year, and next year
we would again let him have it
without bidding, but he was I'M
willing to let it go, SO we had to
protect our interest.

Capt. Wimberly, according to
all reports, is cutting a wide swath
among the leaders and luminaries
of the Republican party to the
envy and alarm of both sugar
teats and the old time regulars in
this State. They realize that VIM
berly has the inside track, and
will very likely swipe the fattest
plums in the patronage pudding
for himself and his friends, conse-
quently at the present time their
lot, as politicians, is not a very
happy one, and how to throw a
chunk that will stop the rolling of
Wimberly's chariot wheels is a
matter over which they are pom
dering deeply. The indications,
however, are that Wimberly is
strong in the game and will rake
in the political Jackpot. States.

THAT BIDDING (?)

The Police Jury met to day,
Monday December 7th.) The
contract to publish the proceed
ings of that Body, and to perform
the job work, for Zone Year" was
awarded to the Messenger for the
price of $1,000. The value of that
work is about $4,000 if not more.
The Evangeline did not bid, for
we don't believe in working for
Glory! The Valley of the Teche
and the Messenger drew the swords
together. We wonder how long
this cut-tbroat business will last?
Poor printers, can't you come to-
gether and get the value of your
hard work?-Evangeline.
Bro. Greig can talk from exper-
fence, because he has been in that
"cut-thrOat" business himself, as
We remember twice he paid a pre-
MUM to the parish to get the con-
tract; and in the last selling of
the contract for publishing the
school board proceedings he I'M
derbid the Messenger, and be-
sides, we had occasion to make
estimates several times on jobs
and publications, but the Evan
geline got the work, and we pre-
sumo at a lower price than our
estimates.
When we figure on a job or pu-
blication, we do it Systematically,
we figure on the cost of everything
used in that work, and make re-
asonable profit.
As to the parish printing, we
could not avoid it. The legal pro-
ceedings of the Police Jury, and
other notices, which appear in the
official journal is of great impor-
lance to a paper, and is worth hav-
ing for any newspaper"
The Messenger had the contract
two years ago, last year the editor
of the Valley of the Teche came to
bid, and rather than cut rates, we
allowed him to get the contract at
the price fixed by the police jury.

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY,
COMMENTS MADE BY THE THOUGHT
Full AND THE THOUGHTLEss.

For 48 hours there was a crowd
of curious people in front of the
show window of Bigart & Compa-
ny, making all sorts of comments
upon sleeping youth. He was
put into a hypnotic sleep on trance
Monday night and continued So
until Wednesday night.
The comments of the gazing
crowds were various as the COM
mentators. Many were incredu-
lous and said: HE is no mere
asleep than 1 am" Others said
they could not be paid to take his
place. Others that he would wake
up crazy. Others that it was cruel
and brutal treatment. Others that
it was a soft job and easy way to
make money.
All the while the youth continu-
ed to sleep in blissful ignorance
of what was said.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained
that he was a regular member of
the troupe, and received a salary
of $50 per month and expenses.
He is allowed ample time between
sleeps to recuperate, and goes
through the same performance in
every city.
1t certainly is a unique way of
making a living.-Shreveport Pro-
gress.

His Memory Fails Him.

In answering an article of the
Lafayette Gazette a short time
ago, with a view of enlightening
our young confrere of the Gazette
OH the political record Governors
Nichols and Foster, We referred
him to his daddy, without in the
least thinking that the old gentle
man would take offence at the
mention of his name in this con-
nection.
Judge c. Fl. Mouton came out
in a communication which appear
ed in the Messenger last Saturday,
which shows that our esteemed
old friends memory is short on
this point, as to what concerns
Governors Nichols and Foster, at
least.
Judge Mouton said: "Were it
not that fear that silence on nv
part would be construed by you,
as an admission that it is to nv
knowledge that Governors Nj
cholls and Foster have broken pro-
misses made by them, and have be-
trayed their friends, I would not
have noticed your allusion to me.
l have always entertained the
highest regard. esteem and re-
spect for Governor Nichols, 1 be-
lieve him Incapable of breaking a
promise and betraying friend or
fOe."
We have always thought that
the old gentleman was the best
posted man in our parish, politi-
cally. as We know he always took
a great interest in political cam
paigns, and even saved speeches,
newspaper clippings and kept a
memorandum book, therefore, we
had reason to believe him an au-
thority in this matter, but his men,
DRY fails him in this case. But our
people have not forgotten the pro-
misses made publicly by Governor
Nichols, to the white Democrats
of this parish, because he had Mr..
Dave Rees, our present sheriff, to
go into the expense of two white
Democratic primaries for the Of
flee of assessor, and he had almost
a solid vote; but Governor Nj
cholls did not hold his promises,
he appointed Mr., $. V. Martin to
the Office of assessor. Does not
Mr.. Mouton remember this fact?
if he don't We suppose Dave does.
