For kisses at times vring woe;
To the doubling young Thomas
May come breach Of promise

OWMLNDED PEOPLE.

Some people, whose mental vision
is very limited, are seemingly dis
pleased because this paper has sold
a portion of its space to a New
Iberia firm, and their displeasure
has reached such alarming pIopor-
lions that they even threaten to
withdraw the support which they
may have accorded us in the past.
For the information of those who
have taken such an unreasonable
view of this matter, The Gazette
will state that its advertising space
is for sale to anyone engaged in a
legitimate business, and it matters
not if the advertiser should live in
Lafayette, New Iberia or anywhere
else. This paper does business on
the principle practiced by intelli-
gent persons in other branches of
trade.
If there is a merchant in Lafa-
yette who is SO narrow-minded that
he will refuse to sell goods to a man
because he should happen to live
outside the limits of this parish, we
would like to get his picture
so that it could be framed
and preserved for exhibition at
the next centennial exposition.
And if the proprietor Of this
paper had refused to accept..the ad-
vertisement of New Iberia firm he
would have placed himself in the
same category.
The Gazette will state that not
withstanding its ardent desire to
please the esteemed gentlemen who
would restrict the paper Ito such
narrow limits, it will continue to
sell its advertising space to all those
who believe it is worth buying and
paying for. 1t will do this regard
less of the fact that it may incur the
dlsfavor of those who have got
ten into the habit of looking at
every thing through gimlet hole.

Gov. Foster Defended.
To The Lafayette Gazette:

To The Lafayette Gazette:
St. Martinville, La, April II, 1897
Although we feel that his Excellency,
Murphy J. Foster, by the will of the white
people and of the Democratic party Gov
ernor of the great State of Louisiana, needs
no defense at our hands from the Puny at
tacks of that little ''paper,' the Messenger,
yet we deem it proper, as resident OF the
town of St, Martinvillc, as Democrat and
one, who has kept very close watch of the
political doines of that 'tpaper, to state
few points, which, in our opinion, would go
far to place things in their proper light.
The Gazette must certainly remember
that in the last presidential and congress
sional election, that although, the Messcn-
ger had announced itself in favor of the free
coinage Of silver, it supported Mckinley,
and protection and the single Standard That
during the whole length of that exciting
campain when literature was cheap as dirt
and could have been obtained for the asking,
it fed its readers exclusively and invariably
upon excerpts, taken from that most vile and
scurrilous sheet, the Daily Item, the editor
of which is an arch enemy of Democracy
and whose lies and calumnies have brought
upon him repeated and just castigations.
That during all that time, when the Demo-
cratic party and the white people were be-
ing denounced and their character assailed
by imported Alabama cranks and Taylor
Beattie, the candidate for Congress, known
political sycophant, far from taking part and
defending the Democratic party and the
characters of those who had established
white supremacy in the parishes of 1-afa-
yettc, ST. Martin and iberia, the Messenger
did, on the contrary, open its columns to
the enemy, publishing the virulent denun-
Citations of the white people by Taylor
Beattie and that Alabama crank, whose
name have tried and succeeded to forget.
When that valiant, true and eloquent
standard bearer of Democracy and white
supremacy, did The Messenger take up his
cause and give him its support No, the
Democratic party, the cause of white suprem-
acy, the ties of blood, had no more claims
on the editor of the Messenger, because
forsooth, Gov. Foster, four years before,
had recognized good Democrats in the or
ganization of the school board of the PARISH
of ST. Martin and had overlooked the
claims that the Messenger and its friends
had upon him, for their opposition to
| the lottery and those fighting for McEnery.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, allow to
say that you wrong, indeed, very
wrong in worrying yourself over the preju-
dice, what not, of the Messenger against
| Gov. Foster. 1t cannot do him any harm,
but, in our opinion, it will considerably in
crease his popularity in this parish and do a
world of good to the of white su-
premacy and true Democracy.

The jewish Passover, also known
as the feast of the unleavened
bread, began yesterday evening and
will continue eight days. The
festival Is commemorative of the
sparing or 'spassing ever" of the
1sraelites when Egypt was smitten
by the Lord, and is observed with
great devotion and prayer. An ele-
ment of the observance is the eating
of none but unleavened bread, in
the form of a cracker called matzos.
This practice has a double signifi-
canoe, according to scriptural his
tory and tradition: when the Jews
fled from Egypt they carried with
them the unleavened dough from
which the morrow's bread was to
have been baked, not stopping in
their haste to leaven it; and in
ancient harvest seasons the He
brews are saidsse have eaten their
bread in like unleavened condition
in order not to spend time in COM
pieting Its preparation which could
be more profitably employed in
field work.-Donaldsonville Chief.

NOT Il POPWLSZ

Because the Hon. Jos. w. Bailey,
leader OF the Democrats In the
House of Representatives, has seen
fit to decline an invitation to at
tend reception at the White House
for tie reason that. he would not
wear 'tclaw hammer" coat, he is
called Populist by those papers
who think that no man is a states
man unless he shows a disposition
to ape the Anglo-maniacs of Ameri-
can society. Joe Baily represents
district in Texas composed of
plain American citizens who will
think much more of their congress-
man because he has shown his con-
tempt for the obsequious toad-eaters
at the national capital. The young
congressman from Texas runs to
brains and not to spike-tail coats.
Some of the 1atter-day Democratic
saints may believe it is witty to call
him Popul,st, because he would
not initiate the titled funkies of
European courts, but the plain
American who admires Jeffersonian
simplicity, Jacksonian independence
and the splendid Americanism of
Abe Lincoln will applaud the brainy
Texan.
Joe Bailey evidently belongs to
that class who believe that men are
sent to Congress for other purposes
than to participate in dress parades.

Bad Made Worse.

Last week the MINING JOURNAL published
a supplement to show that it had, through a
cheap plate advertisement, boycotted two
business furniture firms of Frostburg.
Cheap John" dealers like Julius Hines d
Son may misapprehend the JOURNALS stand
ing and influence, but local merchants know
two things; First, that the Forum is more
generally circulated and read; and. second
ly, that it reaches the very people whom they
wish to reach -n0meiH the common plain
people.-Forum.
The JOURNAL knew that the Form,
could not leone to the scratch"
Still, if there is Il boy in Beall High
School who cannot make better
showing for the Forum than it has
made for itself he is invincibly proof
against all the persuasive forces of
popular education.
But if the JOURNALS readers, in
Guiding the popular and deserving
"boycotted business furniture firms of
Frostburg," will look at the top of the
sixth column, fourth page, of the cur
rent issue of the Forum they will find
the advertisement of the ''cheap John
dealers-Julius Hines & Son"
Which shows one thing on the sur
face and two underneath
|. That the Forum has also boy
cotted 1.-THE two business furniture
firms -
,, That it is done at price not ex
ceedlng one-third that paid the JOUR-
NAL, and, worse than ali
), That the Forum doesn't get for
the superior circulation claimed among
1.-The common plain people, one single,
solitary cent!
Those ''local merchants who know
two things two, are now and
hereby invited to show, therefore,
what value they can put on circula-
ton the advantage of which the Forum
ITSELF awards to Hines & Son for
mothing?
Or, if Hines & Son are entitled to
that clnch, why not you?
The boycott spreads:
And you, ''common people," why
should your Forum brag of your great
number and in another column state
gratuitously through "a cheap plate
advertisement that, like poor land,
the more of you whose attention an
advertiser can own the worse he is off
Enough has been shown to indicate
how the Forum must squirm to square
itself with the ''boycotted business
firms" the local merchants" and its
readers.
When first we struggle to deceive, O
what d tangled web we weave.

A Homecoming baseball expert who
has given the subject considerable
thought says "the umpire is right
oftener than the Court of Appeals .
unless, probably, Homecoming is
tang led up in contest against that
omnipotent aggregation known as the
Frostburg baseball team and that in
fallible personality known as Frost
burg umpire. In that event, only
Homecoming is right.
Didn't the doctrine of "protection
to home industries" get tap on the

Some doctors have decided that

ed the next generation will show
that it is hereditary. Why can't the
funny portions of Fairchild's speeches

A Brief but Correct View.

The npleasantness which so sud
denly sprung up between the Iona
coming Recie@ and the Frostburg
Forum is an ungracious development
when it is considered that it was the
Reoieec which first nominated and at
last elected the Forum to the high office
of general"
This observation is made predatory
to the accompanying quotation from
the Reoieo::
Judging from the contents of a supplement
which was issued by the "old paper about
the new paper" in Frost town. last week,
the advertising department of the new
paper is off its trolley
Most righteous judge, yon are en-
tirely correct.
The new paper" got caught with a
catch yet more remarkable than
Pollock's best grab at foul.
Which, in Homecoming, is at all
times immense.

ChamDiOn SDeller.

The Forum emits Il roar over the mis-
print of the French term, "coup
detat,' an error wholly Typographical,
easier made. in fact, than the Forum's
rendition of "bran now" for Jran nec.
Concerning the latter term-"bran
new" authorities differ-so much so
that the JOURNAL prefers the shorter
and more euphonious compound. The
Baltimore Suns change was neither
radical nor fatal
The same may be said of una
neuvre," which in a good dictionary is
the sole definition of m0neucer.
The Forum does not need to attend
night school in order to get the sort of
thrashing which will knock warts off
its think pan and remove bunions
from wherever its intellect is located,
but it ought to study the spelling that
has almost made iconoclasts of students
of graveyard literature hereabout.
Then if it could slip into vacant ex-
cavatlon, draw the drapery" close
about and go home to die no more,
"the people who do not know Frost
burg" might lose the right impression
about the place, but they would never
know it.

Sub JUDGE.

Carneades, whom Cicero greatly
feared, maintained that there was no
such thing as justice and supported
his theory by these sophisms:
The condition of men is such that if they
have a mind to be just they must act i'm
prudenty; and if they have a mind to act
prudenty they must be unjust and that it
follows there can be no such thing as Justice
because virtue inseparable from a folly can
not be just.
Lactantius correctly declared that
the heathens could not answer this
sophistry. and that Cicero dared not
undertake 10 do so.
Alter a necessarily hurried reading
of "Play FAIR in the Forum this week
the JOURNAL presumes to feel like the
heathens.
And later it may unpresumingly
enact the negative role of Cicero.
In other words, it may determine to
decline the task Of proving that there
is no such thing as literature-that is,
if Fair Play" and "Play Fair" is
what the late William H. Evans wittily
called "a literarian"

To attempt to secure international bi-metal-
ism has proved failure, and it is now more
apparent than ever that the people of the
United States must legislate for themselves on
the financial question.
Free and unlimited coinage at 16 to l is
nearer now than it was a year ago. High
tariff upon a gold basis has disappointed
those republicans who looked to it for relief.
Taken as a whole, the returns are very en-
couraging
These are the morals of election re-
sults-according to Hon. William J.
Bryan--both drawn from fallacious
principles.
"High tariff upon gold basis" is an
anomal y-no mistake about that. For
the less foreign trade we have the less
use there is for gold.
But a worse contradiction is high
protection of a metal which foreign
trade will not take at more than its
price in foreign markets.
AS a Chinese wall architect, there
fore, Mr.. Bryan is more radical de-
signer than Mr.. Mckinley. He would
make the foreigner pay for silver,
which is not Il necessity of life, more
than Mr.. Mckinley indirectly exacts
from him when drouths compel him to
take our surplus bread.
The colossal wonder of the times Is
that men. passing as great states
men, continue to hold that this coun-
try's manifest destiny lies at the end
of the narrow path which leads to
some sort of a ''pent-up Utica"

RreVitieS.

The wisest man is the one who say
the least, unless he is dead sure-which
he very seldom is.
Look out for Frank C. Beall's
change OF advertisement next week.
1t is noticeable that an advertising
agency, or somebody who has caught
on to advertising agency methods, al
ways assumes that a newspapers Gil
culation is large enough when a puff
is wanted.
The notion that "the JOURNAL. is
opposed to the miners" is Just as alb
snrd as that Fair Play and "Play
Fair" is opposed to his congregation.
No time for comment on election re-
suits this week.
The man who is always endeavoring
to say bright things tires one like too
long IL view ofan instantaneous sunset.

Exploded.

John Miller. night baggagemaster
at the Queen City depot, Cumberland,
was painfully, though not seriously
injured last Saturday night by an ex-
ploslon, caused, it is supposed, by some
powder inside a trunk belonging to an
Italian. In it were various tools, a
pick, macaroni, books, a box of burnt
match sticks and a burnt paper that
had contained powder. 1t is supposed
that the pick Jared against the
matches. which in turn set fire to the
powder. causing the explosion.
