stolen negro votes, thereby des-
troying white supremacy. |
The correspondent asks: "When
that valiant, true and eloquent
young creole Bob Broussard, be-
came the standard bearer of De-
mccracy and White Supremacy,
did the Messenger take us his
cause and give him it's support?
No, the Messenger did not give
Bob Broussard its support, be-
cause we did not believe he was
as manly as he proved to be, and
if we only thought he would have
had the manhood to resist the par
ty lash and stand by his people as
he did in voting for the Dingley
tariff bill, he would have received
the undivided and uncompromsing
support of the Messenger. We
thought Bob Broussard was like
good many politicians who call
themselves Democrats, but who
are in fact nothing but toy with
two faces, painted in variegated
colors with disjointed limbs and a
string hanging between the legs,
which, when pulled, make the
thing jump. But we are pleased
to say we were greatly mistaken,
Bob Broussard has proven him
self above party domination and
has displayed enough manhood to
vote for a Republican measure
that he knew would benefit his
people, Notwithstanding the fact,
as the States says, it cooked his
goose" Bob Broussard is a gen.
tleman who is above politics, and
prefers to sacrifice his own politi-
cal ambation rather than bring
ruin and desolation upon his own
people, this is true and noble man
hood.
But it does seem strange to us
that our censurer finds fault with
the Messenger to pronounce for
bi-melatism and support protec-
ton, while he praises Bob Brous-
sard, a Democrat, who votes for a
Republican measure and princi-
pie? Does this not look like the
consistency of the specie of Demo-
Gratis with a string between his
legs?
Governor Foster may have ap-
pointed Democrats as member of
the school board in this parish,
but his duty as a man and a Go
vernon was to appoint Democrats
who had made his fight and who
had given the delegation of St.
Martin parish instead of dickering
with the Democrats who opposed
him and give them the appoint
ment of the Police Jury and
school board. This was treach.
erOus act, cowardly act and a
base ingratitude for a man or a
Governor to disregard his friends
and favor the ennemy-this is Go
vernon Foster in st. Martin par
ish.
In concluding his article the
Friend of Foster advises the
Gazette not to worry about oul
prejudice against Foster, because
it will not harm him but increase
his popularity in this parish and
do world of good to the cause OF
While Supremacy and true De
mocracy.
Oh, how hypocritical! you have
the audacity to talk of Democracy
and White Supremacy, when you
know that if your Democratic (?)
Foster is in power today is is due

SAVAGE ATTACK ON SHERMAN.
LONDON EDITORS RESENT HIS RE-
CENT REFERENCE TO ENGLAND.

The Secretary Said That the BritOns
Quarrel Oftener Than They Fight.
He Also Expressed the Belief That
Russia and Japan Would he
Drawn in Against England If War
Occurs Over the seaIeries-The
Secretary Alluded to as in His Do
tnge.
London, Aug. Accommodating on the in
terview of the New York World with Sec
retary Sherman, the st. James Gazette,
this afternoon says: Secretary Sher-
mans utterances afford no material for
denial by his friends of the statement
that he is suffering from senile decay
But after ALL Mr.. Sherman represents
America, and we are certain all inter
national courtesies will be observed"
Continuing the Gazette refers to the
Kalnoky incident, when it says: Austria
properly severed diplomatic relations with
Great Britain until Mr. Gladstone apollo
gized for his attack upon dual monarchy" ="
and asks why there is one law in Europe
and another in America.
In conclusion the Gazette repeats its re-
cent warning that this is a dangerous line
OF policy to follow, and that some day
Great Britain may can upon Washington
to back up its bluff"
The Westminster Gazette, referring to
the same matter, remarks this afternoon:
The interview is a fruity example of Mr..
Sherman's salon style"
The Globe, on this subject, says to-day:
Secretary Sherman had better rid him
self of the idea that Uncle Sam is going to
boss the show, either on the gold fields or
in the fisheries. We are not ready to fol-
low every quarrel with blows but when
we strike we strike hard, and the idea of
our being afraid of a third-rate naval
power like the United States could only
have occurred to a lunatic or to Mr.. Sher-
man. Judging from his latest perform
ances, we may charitably assume that the
rumOrs that Mr.. Sherman is suffering from
mental disturbances are correct"
The utterances attributed to Secretary
Sherman upon which the comment Of the
London papers is based, are as follows:
England is a great country, but it is
not always safe to assume that she is
ready 10 follow up every quarrel with
blows She quarrels oftener than she
fights 1t would be exceedingly difficult
for her to fight us all alone about our seal
catching Russia and Japan are in a SIM
liar position, and any quarrel between the
United States and England on this score
would, in all probability, involve those
two countries"

which he positively enjoined State Insur-
ance Commissioner Webb McNeal and
