oeS inc nc" STOCK OF mats anu
shoes at Mouton & Hopkins.
The Republican party has always
posed as the friend of the colored
man, and as general rule the
colored brother has proven a faith
full adherent to its destinies. The
colored voters in the border States
hold the balance of power and for
that reason the Republican leaders
are anxious to conciliate the colored
brother as much as possible. They
have patted him ON the back and
encouraged him in the South by
giving him Office that they might
retain his vote in the border States.
They care not fig for the party in
such States as Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, and others which they know
to be safely Democratic, and in the
distribution of'ofices in these States
they have an eye single to the effect
their appointments may have upon
the African votes in some close
Northern or Western States where
the negroes hold the balance of
power 1t is upon this theory that
negroes are appointed to Office in
the Southern States; that Georgia
has a negro marshal and Louisiana a
negro naval officer. Other Southern
States must expect some similar
appointments, that the brothers in
black may be conciliated. -Thibo-

Wanted to Admit Herrings.
Col. G. c. Brown, of Carencro,
is one of those persons who is al
ways ready to accord merit where it
is deserved. In making up the list
of goods to be admitted into this
parish unhindered by quarantine re-
gulations he expressed the opinion
that behring's should be allowed to
come in. The colonel stated that
any audacious microbe who would
venture to travel one hundred and
forty-four miles closed up in a box
of herrings ought to be admitted if
only to recognize its merit. 1t
should not only be permitted to
enter, but the proper steps should
be taken by the authorities to have
it fttingly decorated.

COL. MOODY'S IDEA.

Col. Joel Moody, of the Able
Vile Idea, wants the negro to vote
because this is a free country and
the negro has the constitutions
right to vote and should not be dis
turbed in the exercise of this right
by any Democratic bulldozer.
But Moody has an idea which is
peculiarly his own. He is in favor
of the negro voting, simply because
it is his right and should not be
denied him. But wise is Moody.
The negro's right must consist
only In voting and not in holding
Office. That part of the business
will be attended to by white Repub-
licans. Col. Moody's plan may
not stand the constitutional test,
but no intelligent and patriotic Re-
publican will fail to recognize its
merit, especially at this time when
the niggers seem to have the ear of

Noticeable.

Opelousas Courier.
The saying is old, but neverthe-
less true that while politeness costs
nothing, it goes great way in all
matters of business and social life.
We do not know whether the habit
prevails in other country towns,
but it is fact that young men here
have habit of addressing young
ladies without the preface of Miss
to their names. They may not so
intend it, but the neglect or failure
to use it, is an unmistakable evil
dence of a lack @ Polit<ness end
breeding: No gentleman, not rel
ated to lady, by blood ties, should
ever fail to address one without PIE
fixing Mss to her name. Young
men in OPelousas have fallen into
the habit of calling them, Helen,
Sallie, Ida, Martha-without hav-
ing the politeness to say Miss Helen,
etc. They generally give it as an
excuse that they have been to
school with them, or been raised
with them. This is no excuse, and
the young ladies should not submit
to it. 1t shows a lack of respect.
If our young gents who have this
habit, were to take such liberties
with other young ladies of other
towns or cities, members of respect
ed families, they would soon be
taught that their attentions could be
dispensed with.
The young ladies who submit to
such Familiarity, are to blame for it.
They have it entirely in their power
to correct it. Let them but say to
these impolite young Othellos,
t'You must understand when you
address me, that am Miss Mollie
and if you cannot afford to be polite
enough to so address me, notify
you that I win leave the parlor."
Young ladies should never allow
young gentlemen to neglect this
universal mark of politeness and
good breeding. The habit is GER
tainly not pleasing to mothers and
fathers.

Quarantine Dots.

Several of our citizens are getting ready
to strike out for tall timber.
Ike Broussard can't ride on the trains
now -a-days, but he has learned to ride on
bicycle and is still moving on wheels.
Gov. McLaurin of Mississippi, has been
quarantined out of Jackson. Rather rough
on the governor.
A local politician expressed the hope that
Gov, Foster might be quarantined out of the
State until after the convention.
The Demas wing of the Republican party
in Louisiana ought to take advantage of the
present opportunity and have itself funsi-
gated.
When the Board of Health tackled DR.,
Holt it came in contact with a buzz-saw.
Ben Mayer, a member of the Baton
Rouge Board of Health, got scared and
left his post of duty.
The last excursion of the season was the
one which ran as far the e1Btern limits of
the parish to confer with BillyNOwens.
Walden. Missy has proclaimed quarantine

Between the man who isn't scared a bit
and the one who is scared to death, the
latter is not SO bad as he is telling the truth
while the other is making fool Of himself.
The ''don't get scared'' fellow is a
nuisance and should be suppressed.

There is an old saying and very
true one that a person must go
away from home to hear the news.
An editorial article in the London
Daily Mail gives to the people Of
America the very important iafor-
nation that their government is
actively engaged in preparations
for war, which news if true, is de-
cidedly interesting. The Mail de-
clares that the preparations are in
tended for an attack on Spain and
warns our government against rush.
ing into a war with Europeans who
mean business and fire real bullets.
The people of this country who are
closely engaged attending to their
own business are not aware of the
fact that the governm ent is getting
ready to fight somebody, and the
Information the Mail proffers will
not disturb or excite them for the
reason that the question of declar-
ing war is determined by them
through their representatives in
Congress. The Mail, if it has
read the history of the two wars be-
tween this country and England
should know that the American peo-
pie are in the habit of firing real
bullets themselves when they en-
gage in battle, and do SO quite
effectually, as was shown by the
bloody work of Jackson's men on
the plains Of Chalmette.- Daily
States.

Attempted Suicide.
A special from Opelousas to the
Picayune of Sept. IS says:
"This evening the community
was startled by the news that Lu-
cius G. Dupre, an esteemed young
man OF this town and a bright
young lawyer, had attempted to
take his life. At o'clock he went
to the Office of DR.. James o. Ray,
and while the doctor was away shot
at himself four times, only one bull
let taking effect in his leg, the three
others going wild. Medical assist
ance was at once summoned and
the unfortunate young man removed
to the residence of his brother, Lau-
rent Dupre, Esq. He is not badly
hurt and will recover. He had
been drinking, and it is supposed
that while in a state of intoxication
he planned to take his life. He is
a brother of Judge Gilbert L. Du-
pre-, the present judge of this dis
trict.
