Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving day was duly OBJ
served in Lafayette. Our people
have special reason to be thankful
to the Almighty. They have es-
capped the yellow fever and for that
alone they should not fail to con-
graduate themselves upon their
good fortune and to thank a kind
Providence for being SO favored.

ably injured the commerce of this
town, our people have accepted the
inevitable in a philosophical man.

the setback caused by the fever.
Of course our farmers have no
reason to feel particularly cheerful
over the price of cotton, but few
among them are in debt and their
condition, while affording no bril-
liant outlook, is far better than that
of the country.
Our merchants seem to be doing
we'll. They are not giving evidence
of their prosperity by large adver-
tisements in The Gazette, yet we are
pleased to state their failure to do

THE VA co IRA GEDI

One of the results of Brann's at
tack on Baylor University is the
awful tragedy which occurred at
Waco last Saturday. The killing
of the Harris brothers is certainly
to be deplored by all good men,
but no one who is acquainted with
the causes which led to the deadly
encounter and the particulars of the
fight, as given in the newspapers,
can fail to admire the remarkab BILE
pluck displayed by Judge Gerald
when he was attacked from front
and rear. Judge Gerald showed
more nerve than all the others COM
bined-Brann, the Baylor people,
the unfortunate dead men, and
Judge Scarborough and his son who
made the cowardly assault upon
Brann. Had all the parties con-
cerned in this controversy shown
as much courage and bravery as
Judge Gerald the chances are that
the matter would have been settled
satisfactorily and without the she'd
ding of human blood. While we do
not endorse Brann's utterances in
regard to Baylor the means of re-
dress adopted by the friends of that
institution are not of a character to
merit the approval of honorable
people.

KEEP HIM OUT.

What we want is not commits
sion that will go to Cuba to becom e
acquainted in a scientific way with
the nature and habits of the yellow
fever microbe in its native haunts,
but is rather the adoption of sys-
tenn which will keep the mischievous
little foreigner from our shores. A
commission to Cuba for the purpose
of securing information on the
characteristics and modes of warfare
of Yellow Jack may result in some
practical good, but we are inclined
to think with the Times-Democrat
that the necessity of devising some
plan to keep the old scoundrel out
altogether is far more urgent and
desirable. Let steps be taken to
establish more efficient quarantine
against yellow fever countries and
when absolute immunity will have
been assured it will not be too late
for the appointment of medical men
to go to Cuba to add to their sto1 e
of knowledge on the germ question.
The recent epidemic, or rather
would-be epidemic, has been the
means of furnishing to the public
an illustration of the fact that
many of our physicians have yet
much to learn before they can even
claim a passing acquaintance with
Yellow Jack, his methods and habits,
to say nothing of his personal ap-
pearance. 'For ways that are dark
and tricks that areevain" the yellow
fever microbe is by far the most
peculiar of the whole bacteria n
family, and science itself is some
times unable to understand its in
tricate nature.
What is primarily needed is a
system at all the ports of entry
which will be as ef1cacious as the
process of detention and fumigation
invented by DR.. Joseph Holt of
New Orleans. This process has
kept yellow fever out of the Cres-
cent city nearly twenty years and
bids fair to keep it out always.
The Gazette is reluctant to favor
the passage of national quarantine
law, but if federal aid is necessary
to save US from the dreadful vista
tons of yellow fever epidemics, it
Joins the mes-Democrat in its
able and energetic advocacy of such
a measure.
Yellow Jack, is, at his best, a
most undesirable visitor. Keep
him out by any and all means!

FREE PASSES

FREE PASSES
While the suffrage question is the
most important of the present cam
paign. it is not the only one which
should be considered by the people
in the selection of delegates to the
constitutional convention.
There appears to be very
strong sentiment among the people,
against the gift by railroad COM
Panies of free passes to public Of
ficials. In the platform of the
Caddo Democracy, there is plank
condemning this practice and pledg-
ing the support of the nominees of
the party toa measure which will
put an end to the free pass business.
The Gazette believes that gentle
men holding judicial and legislative
positions, should not be permitted
to receive passes from railroad
companies.
We do not advocate the niggardly
policy of the Populists who would
give us cheap Legislators and cheap
judges, but we believe the salaries
of these officials sh ould be ample to
enable them to pay for railroad trans
porta ton.
The giving away of passes to
public officials by railroad compa-
MES has long been a source of
annoyance, if not of corruption,
and it is high time that it should
be stopped. The Gazette does
not charge that any public official
in Louisiana is influenced by
the paltry consideration of a pass,
that the railroads give away every
year large number of passes to
men holding judicial and legislative
positions. AS we are assured by an
eminent legal authority that a cor
poration "has no soul to be damned
and no body to be kicked" we must
conclude that~in their generous dis
tribution Of passes the railroads act
from selfish motives only. 1t is not
likely that representa- tives Of the
various roads go to Baton Rouge
and establish headquarters there,
merely to show in what high estee m
they hold our State Solons7 Nor
is it is possible that the railroads
have such an overwhelming admira-
ton tor our judiciary that they offer
to the judges the free use Of their
cars?
Therefore, why all these passes?

THE ISSUE.

In this campaign for the election
of delegates to the constitutional
convention every white man should
show his colors. 1t is not the time
for the straggler, the trimmer and
the coward.
The slogan is: white men to the
front.
The Democratic party proposes
to reform the suffrage and to purify
the ballot. Time for action has
come and he who fails to see it is
blind, or wants to be blind.
Those who stand back and cry
..Fosterism," and tell you that they
are IN favor of an intelligent vote
and a fair count, are hypocrites.
They know, or they aught to know,
that such a reform is impossible SO
long as the negroes hold the balance
of power. If they we've honest in
their professions they would not
oppose the convention, whose main
object is to disfranchise as many
blacks as possible. Their opposi-
ton to a .tlimited" convention Is
a subterfuge, pure and simple.
Let the white men of Lafayette
parish bear in mind that this is not
a fractional fight. The result of the
approaching election means more
than the ascendancy or defeat OF
mere faction. The so-called
leader who would infuse local ami
mosities into this election is a dem
aeoeue of the worst kind, an enemy
to white rule and a traitor to his
race.
There will be an effort made to
make Louisiana white State.
Not through bulldozing, ballot-5ox
stuffing or deception, but by legal
means within constitutional bounds
of the State and nation. Only the
fellow who depends upon ignorance
and venality Tor success, can be
against this.
We hope that the voters will not
be deluded by those loud m uthed
v1emagogues who. while pretending
all these years to be Democrats,
have never missed an oppor-
tunity to thrust the sti!etto OF
sreach-ry into the party's back.
These may tell you that the conven
ton will be controlled by Foster,
but remember if they were in charge
of the affairs Of this State the con-
ventlon would be controlled not by
Foster, but by Warmoth, by Her
wig, by Demas.
Under the board principles laid
down by the Democratic executive
committee every voter who will
pledge himself to support the nomi-
nees of the party can join in the
good fight under the white banner
of Democracy. Let the laggards
crawl into their holes if they will,
and few chronic kicker
howl themselves hoarse about "Fos-
terism," but let the bone and sinew
of the country unite, and in one
grand effort, help to redeem our
State from the maelstrom of politi-
cal corruption and disorder into
which she will sooner or later be
plunged by ignorance and venality.
Some well-informed men are OF
opinion that with the elimin alton OF
the negro vote the white people will
divide on economic questions and
the Republican party will be placed
in power. AS much as we would
hate to see the downfall of Demo
cracy in this State, we say, let it be
so.
State and the honor of those who
will come after US, let the men OF
to-day settle this matter, upon
which rests our wellbeing as peo-
nile in q manner that will reflect

meetings next Wednesday,, Dec. l.,
to elect delegates to parish con-
ventlon which will be held in the
courthouse in this town the follow
ing Saturday, Dec. 4, for the pur-
pose sof nominating Democrat
and to choose delegates to represent
the Democracy of this parish at the
State convention which will meet
at Baton Rouge on the 9th of De-
cember where and when the thirty
six candidates for delegates at large
will be nominated.
According to resolutions of the
executive committee all Democrats
who will pledge themselves to sup
port the nominees of the party will
be entitled to participate in the
meeting. The Gazette hopes that
the Democrats of this parish will
respond to the call of the executive
committee and take hand in the
selection of a suitable candidate for
the constitutional convention and
of proper persons to represent the
parish Democracy at Baton Rouge.
All voters who desire the ascen
dancy of the Democratic party,
should attend the meetings in the
various wards ordered to be held by
the regular organization. All over
the State the issue is being fought
on Democratic lines and Lafayette
cannot afford to be backward. In
the past she has always made a
good showing and in this instance
she should be true to her colors.

,nittee's meeting published last

announced:

ARCHBISHOP HN.SSENS
SUCCESSOR.

A telegraphic dispatch from
Washington gives the information
that within a few days the Pope will
announce the selection of Bishop
Camilius Paul Macs, at present
Bishop of Covington, KY, to sue
coed the lamented Archbishop
Janssens. The following short
sketch of Bishop Macs will lie of
great interest to the Catholics of
this sections:
'sBishop Macs is considered as in
every way fitted to fill the place of
the late Archbishop Of New Orleans.
He is man of considerable attain
mert is intellectually, and of splendid
standing in the church. Although
he is regarded as of conservative
tendencies, he has kept clear of all
controversies and obtained the res
pect of all by his conduct in church
politics. He is man of CON-
handing presence, resonant voice
and handsome, intellectual features.
He is in the prime of life, having
been born in 1916 at Courtrat,
West Flanders, Belgium. He made
his classical studies in the college
of his native city, and entered the
seminary of Bruges to prepare for
the priesthood. DESTROYS, however,
of devoting himself to the mission
in this country, he proceeded to the
American College at Lauvain,
where he completed his theological
course and was ordained for the
diocese of Detroit December 16,
1868. After working as priest in
Michigan for some years he became,
in 1880, secretary to Bishop Bur-
CESS. In September, 1884, he was
elected to the see of Covington, and
after the close of the plenary coun-
Gil of Baltimore he was consecrated
in the Cathedral of Covington by
Archbishop Elder, of Cincinnati,
and Bishop Burgess, of Detroit,
January IS, 1885. Since then he
has devoted himself to the work of
his diocese and to the study of the
early history of the church. He has
been president of the Eucharistic
League, an organization of priests,
for several years, and has been on
the board of directors of the Catho-
lie University for a long time.
Should the i'll health Of the Pope
continue he may determine to post
Pone the consistory, in which case
of Mgr. Macs to the archbishopric
is expected at any time"

Good Advice.

Young man you can't do it. You
can't make your way through the
world without work. Men have tried
it before you. They have loafed
around the street corners, smoked Gig
ars, chewed tobacco, told windy stories,
drank whiskey and all that, but they
have never succeeded. You are no
smarter than other boys. Your wits
will not bring your success in life; you
had better learn good trade rather
than become chronic loafer, produc-
ing nothing whatever for yourself,
nothing to help the world along. The
world has little use for boys or men
either, who are not willing to pull off
their coats and earn their way to fame
and fortune, The good things of life
are not handed to idlers on silver plat
tiers.
