Democratic Idea of a Tariff.

Daily Itsm.
The contention of the Demccts-
tic party In Congress that the
Dingley bill 10 ono that encou-
RACES extfsvsgance; that it is b.
sed upon vicious principles, ETC.,
etc, may 10 set down a. ono Of
the jokes Of the season.
The fact Is, tho dear old party,
having no foot on which to stand
before the people makes q bluff Of
doing 70, in tho hope Of fooling
some of them.
This party Of usrrowness and
retrogression will discover that
the people have not one title Of
faith in it. For four years and
moro have they groaned under
the weight of burdens placed upon
their shoulders by Democracy and
they hail the present opportunity
of throwing off the load as did the
children Of Israel the appearance
Of Noses to lead them out of the
wilderness.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
THE STORM.

The rain and wind storm that
passed over this town Tuesday
evening was hardly noticed by our
people, but the weather looked
very threatening. The next day
we learned that considerable ds.
mage was done between here and
Breaux Bridge. AT Cypress
Island several buildings were de.
molished, and a great number
more or loss damaged, trees were
uprooted and fences every where
are down.
Damages are reported from &C.
veral other places, but they will
not amount to much, being un-
rooted cabins, blown down trees
and fences.

The law is worry plain and the
factions have nobody to blame but
themselves, as they were several
times warned by the Messenger
that the time was nearing the IL
nit, and unless prompt action was
taken, the time to file the nomina-
tions with the secretary of state
would be passed.
The question is now asked; will
the election take place on April
5th as proclaimed by the Mayor?
We believe it will not, because
the formalities required by the
election law have not been fulfill
ed.
We do not recognize the power
of the Governor to appoint q new
council, and consequently the
same council will remain in Office
until the Mayor issues another
proclamation ordering the election
to take place some time later; but
this would raise some point Of
law, as there is no provision in
the charter to cover the case.

Damage At Carencro.

A special from Carencro to The
Times-Democrat, dated the 22nd
inst, says: A windstorm approch-
ing a cyclone struck this place at
3 o'clock this afternoon, doing con-
siderable damage. Several hou-
ses, a number of fences and many
trees were blown to the ground.
The new Catholic Church, q very
handsome edifice, nearing compile
ton, and which cost nearly 5000,
was wrenched and seriously DANA
ged. The damage to this build
lug alone is estimated at between
$500 to $4,000. The large cotton
gin of Mr.. A. G. Guilbesu, situa-
ted near tho Southern Pacific de-
pot, was almost entirely destroyed.
1t is not yet known what destruc.
ton was caused in the country.

GREAT.CALAMITY.

Daily item.
Those are terrible accounts
which have reached US of the work
of winds in Georgia. A number
of persons have been killed, 9TH
ers wounded, and property has
been destroyed. Children are the
victims; poor, little school chill
dren, taken of when away from
loving parents and without any
idea that danger threatened them.
The shadows have entered and
there are broken hearts where but
q day before beat glad ones.
Such calamities man is unable
to avert. They come from q hand
that no mortal can stay. We who
have escaped such a visitation may
we'll breathe fervent thanks fol
our great good fortune. We were
spared, though no worthier than
those who were stricken. Provi.

suffer. That was all. ..

There is no more talk of our
new charter, although q good
many signatures have already
been obtained. If our people
knew all the defects of the old
charter, which was adopted in
1843, they would take moro inter-
est in the new one. Several
amendments were made to tho old
charter, and several of its clauses
are in direct conflict with state
laws that have been adopted since
the charter of 43 came into exis-
tence. One of its sections give
the parish the right to tax slaves
within the corporate limits, and
this, thirty two years after the
slaves have been freed. There are
many other as interesting features
in the old charter. Don't you
think it is time to make q change?

Hence, all efforts msde by tho

The doctrines of Democracy

bitter and an expensive lesson. It
is fresh in the public mind, and
the desire is widespread to have
no repetition of it. Cleveland's

nearly successful in running the
country, and though we escaped
general disaster, we bear all the

The Blanc Murderers.

Ttmes-Democraf.
The French consul in this city
has become interested in the fate
of the Blanc brothers, sentenced
to be hanged on the End of April
for the murder of Begneaud, an
aged Frenchman in Lafayette par
ish. Tho crime for which the
youthful murderers are sentenced
to be hanged was of q most deli
berate and cruel nature, and the
boys are confined in tho Parish
Prison awaiting their doom.
Consul D'Anglade called on At
torney General Cunningham yes
tesdsy afternoon for the purpose
of ascertaining the necessary steps
to take to make application for a
reprieve, with the view of ulti-
mstely securing a Communication of
sentence.
Consul D'Anglade docs not deny
that q horrible crime was commit
ted, nor does he contend that there
was anything irregular in the
trial. Neither is he influenced by
any feeling of nationality, as the
murderers and the murdered man
were all French. He is actuated
solely by . broad feeling of hu-
mainly in trying to stay the exe-
cution. He takes tho view that
the boys never had the advantage
of restraining home influences or
education, and from the roaming
life they led became deprsved aud
easily fell into error. This fact,
taken in connection with their
youth, he thinks should save them
from the gallows. The younger
boy, at any rate, he thinks should
not be hanged, as he was under
the influence of his brother and
was sctusted in the part he took
in the murder solely by motives
of robbery, the actual murder be-
ing committed by the older bro
Their. a.:
Attorney General Cunningham
listened sttentively to everything
Consul D'Anglsde had to say, and
advised him as to the proper form
in which to got his request before
the Board Of Psrdons. The At
torney General also suggested to
the consul that . movement look
ing to q Communication of sentence
would probably have more weight
if it came from Lafayette parish,
where oil the facts were known.
The consul appreciated the force
Of the suggestion and it is proba-
BILE that efforts will be made to
enlist sympathy for the boys in
the parish were the murder was
committed.

TOWN ELECTION.

Since a few days the municipal
election which was proclaimed to
take place on Monday April 5th.,
have been the talk of the day.
Two tickets are in the field and
political discussions are in order.
Both factions believe their ticket
is the best and will go through.
The names of the candidates on
both tickets were sent to the Sc
cretary of state at the same time,
and both reached that Office too
late to received the attention of
that official, who returned the pa
pers stating that they were recei-
we'd too late, and he could not fur
nish the tickets.
As will be seen by the letter
published below, the papers should
have reached Baton Rouge before

the 18th, three days after the
