FIRE caught is not known, but il is
presumed that a hot coal from the
forge III sone way got through the

were quickly brought into requisltion
but the stiuging cold weather had
contracted the hydrants so that they
had to he expanded with hot water
before the stream could be turned on Z,
hence a few moments were lost in
getting the stream turned on. Ell.
fective work was done. but the fire
was very stubborn, and two streams
were necessary TO subdue it, and the
building was saved, though damaged
about a hundred dollars wcrth.
Mr.. Blum was severely burned
about the face aud head in an effort
to rescue his COW, aud is now con
fined to the house by his injuries, hut

Democratic Convention.

This body met in Chicago. at noon,
on Tuesday. The National Executive
Committee recommended Senator d. B.
Hill, OF New York (goid bua), but the
convention refused to receive him as
temporary Chairman, and selected SEN
atOr John w. Daniel. OF Virginia, for
that place. On taking the gavel, Sena-
tor Daniel delivered an eloquent ad-
dress. strongly fav0ring the free coin
age of silver at the popuiar ratio. Mr..
Daniels GRAFTON was something grand.
We cannot resist the temptation of
quoting one paragraph from this grand
speech: Brethren of the East, there
is no South, there is no North, there is
no East or West in this uprising of the
people for American emancipation from
the conspiracy Of European Kings, led
by Great Britain. which seeks to dis
troy one-haH of the money of the world
and make American manufacturers.

New Police Jurors.

The Police Jury ENHANCEMENT is
growing warm.
On the meeting Of that body on last
Mnnday, DR.. Sazan and Messrs. Lafleur
and Manuel presented their cOmmis-
siOns and were seated. The District
Attorney, who was present, protested,
alleging that be had enjoined these gen.
tlemen from acting, and that their
course amounted to contempt Of the
authority of the District Court; but
this adm0nition was not headed and
the above named gentleman took their
seats as members of that body. There
upon rule for contempt of Court was
Ia ken against them. 1t may be we'll to
state in this connection that, after the
three jurors were enjOined by the Dis
trict Court, their attorney. T. Ell. Lewis,
Esq obtained from the Supreme Court
restraining order, commanding the
District Judge aud District Attorney to
proceed no further in the premises.
On Tuesday, the rule for contempt
against the contumacious jurors, was
tried before Judge Dupre. who decided
that they were in contempt, and con-
demned DR.. Saizan and Messrs. Robert
Lafieur and Oiibe Manuel and Eugene
McGee, President, to forty eight hours
in the parish Jail.
We cannot better describe the sitn-
alton OF affairs than by saying that all
is confusion worse cUnfounded."

A Conflagration Averted.

On Wednesday morning at 1 o'clock,
our people were 'roused from their
slumber by the alarm Of fire, when it
was discovered that the building situa-
ted at the corner Of Bellevue and Court
streets, occupied as negro coffee house
by Numa Ferron, was on fire. The
flames were first discovered at the west
end of the building. After Il good deal
of work it was cxtinguished. Soon af-
ter this it was discovered that there
was fire under the building, and this
had barely been extinguistied when it
was noticed that there was fire in the
garret. Fortunately the efforts OF our
fireinen. assisted by the citizens. were
successful in extinguishing the flames.
for had this house burned down, it
would have destroyed large part of
the business portion of our town. There
is no doubt but that this fire was the
work of fincendiaries, for, not only was
the smell Of coal oil noticeable, but a
coil oil can was found iD or near the
house. 1t is an uncomfortable feeling
to know that we have fire bug amongst
us. Such miscreants, if caught, should
be given short rift.

From an article In the North Ameri
can Review, by Senator Allen of Ne
braska, We make the following extract
"The East is welded to abnormally
high tariff for a protective purpose
that Is, for the purpose of enabling one
class of citizens, through the means of
high priced articles. caused by dimin-
lshlDg the natural competition arising
from the sale of imported articles, tn
transfer much of the earnings of all
other classes to their own pockets. The
Eastern people evidently do not be-
lieve in levying tariff for the primary
purpose of revenue. and incidentally
the protection OF new Industries that
have not been securely established, but
on the contrary for the distinct purpose
OF creating limited market with rev.
enue to the government as an incident
rIi can be easily seen that the people of
1 aGhe West are compelled to purchase
'their manufactured goods from the
lEast, with low priced products of farm
and mine, and pay the-fIeight both
ways, and are thereby put tv,aery great
disadvantage.
lit may be truthfulIy said, in this
connexion, that feeling exists among
the people of the West, to some
extent, that the East has. by unduiy at
tempting to control the Western press,
eHdeavored to create an unwarranted
and false sentiment on the tariff, fnan-
cial and transportation questions as
we'll as false sentiment, through the
agency of small western banks, ON the
money question, that is inimical to the
true interests of our country. Tt is be-
lieved in the West that there is d fixed
purpose on the part of the East 70 COLI
tinue this order of things, and thereby
transfer the wealth of the West from
the pockets Of those who have bad no
hand in it's productin and no sympathy
with ite producers"
The Opelousas courier., 1896-07-11
some Things Appear a Little ouee,
to the Eye

OuS White League supremacists who
or late have been so irate over the idea
mat negro should register and vote.
seeF to have no scruples about making
MN the basis OF representation in the
Police Jury. They readily avail them
selves OF the provision of law which
declares that Police Jury wards con
tanning 5000 shall be entitled
10 one additional Police Juror. To cir
cumvent the negro aud to avoid the
result of his voting for additional Po-
nee jury members, they got the Oigarch
10 appoint them, pretending that it is
only to I'LL vacancies. Thus showing
tnat II Mey can select the Jurymen, they
are willing the negro should be reck-
tiOn. pe'''a
We say this seems d little queer to
the eye. There are many who believe
tilat IL tho negro is entitled to repre-
sentatioD, he should, under the e;ristina
Idtos, nave voice in saying who NAV
represent him. Our White League fell
low citizens seem to think otherwise,
and We say it seems queer.
And not the least queer thing abont
It al, Is that our Oiigarch, having him
self signed law providing that Jurors
shall be elected by the electors of their
wards, should take the liberty of ap
pointing them.
