DEBASING AND CORRUPT.
ING INFLUENCE OF
NIGER BUYING.

The Lake Charles Press, Re-
publican organ, edited by q north
ern man who has located in CAL
casieu in latter years. makes the
following comments on negro sui
frage as viewed by him in the re-
cent contest in that parish:
"a political contest under pres
ent conditions in this state is .
curse and q disgrace to every
man engaged in it, caused by the
debasing corruption incidental to
the purchase of negro votes. Men

SOME EXCLUSIVE FOLK.

A new town to be occupied ex,
clusively by colored persons, is soor
TO be founded near Tecumseh, Kan.
and will be named Sumner. A
syndicate of colored people has
bought 2, 600 acres Of choice land,
which will be subdivited and sold
at low price and on easy terms.
It Is said that the establishment 81
several manufactures in the new
town 10 assured, and the promoters
expect the enterprise to be . sue
cess. The new town Of Fitzgerald,
Ca, started recently by settlers
from the northern states, is notable
because Of the fact that no colored
person is permitted 70 work or live
in it under any Circumstances.

THE VIRTUES OF WATER.

Water, when administered properly,
can produce truly astonishing results.
As proof Of this, We will select few
remarkable cases that have been cured
by it:
lady afilicted with asthma from her
birth. was very much weakened and
discouraged. A few months Of water
treatment radically cured her.
suffering intensely from acute mus
cular rheumatism for three years, .
gentleman had . sallow complexion.
kidney troubles, and was unable to lift
up his right arm. After three weeks Of
treatment, he returned to his home
completely cured.
Bright's Disease, ~ every one knows,
is one Of the most dangerous Of human
diseases. A gentleman. about 40 years
old, was very much oppressed, constt-
pated, aud had beginning Of Bright's
Disease. Having followed two months
of treatment, the albumen entirely dis
appeared, and ct the same time he waa
cured Of all his other af1ictions.
We note two more cases: A gentle
man, 81 years old, was suffering from
heart disease, could breath only with
difficulty, and was unable to make 4
few steps without being oppressed. A
month and . half treatment enabled
him to walk just as Welt Is any one
else.
Finally, . young lady, afflicted with
consumption, had her strength and
health restored by few months treat
ment.
All these cures and amelioratious in
the health Of patients have been OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Maurice Lafargue, Di-
rector OF the Kneipp Institute, Of Chin
chuba, near Vaudeville, the first one Ia
inaugurate the Kneipp system In the
United States. The authenticity of al
these cases can be proved by the author
tiles Of Chin0huha. Many other chron.
ic diseases have been treated success
fully at the same Institute, wig: Gout
Rheumatism, Diabetes, Asthma, Jaun-
dice, Diseases Of the Liver, Kidneys
(Bright's,) Bladder, stomach, Bowels
and Skin, and Of the Bones, Joints and

Some one must have been struck
pretty heavy by being forced to pay
Is much rs ten dollars per head for
votes. Four dollars was about the
lowest price paid. aud when it is re-
,nembered that there are about 4,
900 negro voters in the parish one is
apt to think with Sam'l OF Posen
that ..they come high" The money
spent ct the polls was a mere drop

expenses OF the campaign, and this

WHAT WOULD THE HARVEST
BE!

D1s
There has been great deal OF ex- |
cited talk and violent threats in
dulged in by the friends Of the de-
feated candidate. EARLY in the
Capt. Pharr. anticipating
defeat, announced that, If neces-
sary. lie would march an army with
banners to Baton Rouge and take
possession Of the State capitol by
force of arms.
Does Capt. Pharr. or do these
excited friends Of his realizes tue
consequences uf such an act Of
madness? Would not Governor
Foster and his friends and support
ers be the basest cravens II they
should submit to an outrage Ike
this. What, then, would be the
result? Contemplate for . moment
the spectacle of one, two or three
thousand men, on either side drawn
up il deadly array against each
other-neighbor against ncighbor.
friend against friend. possibly
brother against brother.
The sugar planters who have al
lied themselves with the combine,
could not advance their pecuniary
interest one whit by the seating Of
Pharr. Republicans like Warm"tl
are too shrcwd 20 engage in such
a jameson raid. The negroes will
be ruled out as unworthy of military
companionship, and SO reliance
must alone be had upon tue sturdy
Populists of North Louisiana. But
what would they have to fight Tor
Not principle. certainly, for they
hold not one in common with thell
temporary political associates. W.

advisedly, as they could not, in the

ELECTED By THE WHITE
PEOPLE.

Newspapers cannot be too eau
tious in renewing aud summarizing
results that require accurate and
conscientious analysis. just after
the election it was boldly stated
that Capt. Pharr had carried nearly
all the white parishes and that
Fosters majority was made up al
most exclusively in the negro par
ishes; hence, that Pharr had a white
majority aud Fostsr q negro major
ity. There was = good deal OF
truth in the statement, but the con-
clusiou drawn from it was entirely
erroneous. But the charge was
widely circulated, the utterly care
less and loose statement was greedily
accepted by the mob and did much
TO prejudice Governor Fosters po-
sition in public opinion.
Last Saturday the States made =
careful and full inquiry into the
matter and an accurate analysis OF
the returns, and we showed that
Governor Foster had clear major
ity Of 80, 600 white votes over the
Combine candidate.
Yesterday, We printed . tabula-
ted statement of the white and ne
gro vote in every parish Of the State,
which Was Reproduced in this
mornings papers and is reproduced
In the issue Of this States. Thls
statement was prepared by gentle
men fully competent for such work
and sitter the most careful aud con
scientious investigation and study
and it shows the white majorit,
for Foster over Pharr to be mucl
larger than our statement made owe
q week ago, or considerably owe
$4,000.
A 4 matter OF fact, Governc
Foster has been reelected by th
returns any way you take them
He is elected on the total vote {
the State, white and black, and, e1
Guiding the black vote, he has bee
elected by the white vote with = mi
jority OF over $1,000. In olht
words, il 4 conference OF consel
vative men of both parties vel
held and 1t shoula be agreed

The Legislature is not a returning
