The Surprise of all.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug
firm Of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,,
in speaking of DR.: Kings New Dis
covery, says that last winte his
wife was attacked with La Grippe,
and her case grew SO serious that
the physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Dis overy in store, and selling lots
of it, he took bottle home, and to
the surprise of all she began to get
better from the first dose, and half
dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free

much praise cannot be accorded
Rev. Reams, who labored with hand
and brain to push the enterprise to
successful issue. The ladies, I'M
der the style of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, did heroic work for the
cause, and IN fact. inaugurated the
movement under the leadership of
Mrs. T.. S. Randle, who, in con-
nection with her devoted husband,
Rev. T. S. Randle, did SO much to
stimulate church work in LAFAYETTE.
The church is free of debt and the
hearts of its members may justly
swell with pride over the suspicious
event this day recorded. Besides
the completion of the church, Rev.
Reams, the pastor has built and
finished neat and commodious
parsonage, grounds for which were
donated by Mrs. M. E. Girard, a
faithful and lifelong member of the
church. During a comparatively
short Pastorate of two years, Rev.
Reams has therefore accomplished
material results worthy Of note, and
besides has administered to the
spiritual welfare of his congregation
in most satisfactory manner.
Under his jealous ministry the
membership has been largely in
creased, and the cause of religion
advanced along general lines. 1t is
safe to say that the people of Lafa
yette and the congregation in. parti-
cular will gladly welcome the reap
pointnent of pastor under whose
efficient management SO much good
has been accomplished.

Major II. J. Hearsey, editor of
she States, has announced his can
didacy for the position of printer
of the constitutional convention.
The Gazette has no candidate in
vaew and had really not thought of
the matter, but it does not fear to
say that no man in the State OF
Louisiana has done more for the
Democratic party and the rule of
white:men than he has, He has a
record of thirty years devotion to
that party, and all, and more than
that which he lays claim to, IN his
announcement card, he richly de-
serves.

SEM TOR MENER rs
RIGHT,

At the ratification meeting held in
New Orleans last Monday night,
Senator McEnery, with his charac-
teristic force and eloquence laid
down the following as good sound
Democratic doctrine. We/respect,
fully call the attention Of B. W..
Marston, p. J. Chappuis, and
other bigger-than-the-party men in
the State to it, and then to try nd
find out where they belong. They. are
certainly not Democrats in any
sense of the word:
'sIn pursuance of the work of
the Baton Rouge convention to
keep alive its influence, it is the
duty of all Democrats to stand by
the regular nominees of the party,
whether nominated by the conven-
ton or by local Democratic au-
thority. No separation from the
party organization can be con-
doned. All movements outside of
party organization must be dlscoun-
tenanced and defeated Ivy earnest
and devoted work. To let them go
unrebuked is to encourage them in
the future. The whole strength
and vigor of the party must be ex-
erted to crush them.
81 rejoice, fellow citizens, in
seeing the Democracy of Louisiana
again united. 1t is not a truce, d
temporary expedient, but a perma-
nent peace, which will carry us
through many trials and to many
victories. l took no part in the
Baton Rouge convention, but this
fact does not lessen my gratif1ca-
ton, and in the name of all true
Democrats 1 thank that convention
for it's great work in uniting the
Democratic party i'm Louisiana and
giving US as delegates to the con-
stitutional convention gentlemen
who are we'll known in the State
for their ability, party faith and
fidelity, and IN whom not only the
Democratic people, but the entire
people of the State, have conf
dence.
81 earnestly appeal to the voters
of this State to vote for these dele
gates and for all the nominees of
the party, and for the holding of
the convention.
"rhe Democratic tarty will do
justice to all persons and to all
classes. Let US keep holy our faith
in the Democratic party. 1t has
given to Louisiana all the liberty
and prosperity which we now enjov.
Its principals are universal and are
the foundations of all republican
institutions"

MARCUS mar BE MUD.
Marcus Alonzo Hanna, McKin-
iey's right hand bower, and the arch
corruptionist of American politics
Is In very narrow straits. He is
I candidate for Senator from the
State Of Ohio, and has at his back
all The support of the national admin
istration and ar. Unlimited supply of
the s.stuff. I" But Notwithstanding
ALL this support, the latest news
from Columbus, the seat of war,
foretells the political downfall of
-11ais 4nan,4w bases his political
success on,the principle that every
man has his price.
The defeat of Hanna would be
piece of poetical justice that would
cause rejoicing in the camp of the
Democrats, =. and CONSERVATION
among the Republicans. So close
has been ..the intimacy of McKin-
ley and Hanna that every one has
come to believe that Hanna is real
ly the power behind the throne, and
every action of Mckinley goes to
prove that the people are right in
their judgment of the matter.
The combination working against
the contamination Of Hanna's ambi-
ton is a combined Democracy, and
a idisgusted Republican minority,
and II is certain that if the Demo-
crazy should remain as solid as the
minority, that next
will mark the defeat Of
the prandest scoundrel that has
figured in the politics of any coun-
trv

WHAT WILL THE H4R-
VEST BE2

Daily States.
Gov. Foster ought to be a very
contented man when he is sur
rounded by his family or when he
is occupied with his official duties.
He has by his course in public af-
fairs won the confidence and ap-
plause of the good people of this
State and by his firm and unflinch-
ing management of the convention
affair he has evoked the wrath and
abuse of every niger lover; every
advocate of a debased suffrage,
every advocate of rabble govern
ment: every man who hates De-
mocracy and good government.
That he has done this latter is
perhaps more glorious than the
former. There are men and there
are elements in society whose hate
and abuse it is infinitely honorable
60 ! secure. All these people and
all these elements he has antago-
n,zed and, we sincerely trust, will
continue to antagonize them.
The convention is an assured sue
cess, and it will be a glorious gift
of the Governor of Louisiana to
his people, for we freely concede
chat he is responsible for it and has
largely secured its personnel.
To every negro and every car
pet-baggar that has been killed in
Louisiana engaged perniciously in
politics, we cordially say amen.
To every ballot box that has been
stuffed to secure immunity from
negro rule, we cordially say, Glory,
Hallelujah! In this country we
want liberty, not license; we want
the people but not the rabble to
rule. If it be that the blood Of the
negro must water the roots of the
tree OF white Christian civilization,
50 be it, that is the only service the
poor, ignorant and deluded negro

can do good government in this

|
evils of negro suffrage by legislation
and the courts; it cannot be done.
1t is in itself deadly poison, and
civil institutions, all standards of
honor and morality will wither un-
der its virus. Can we destroy the
poisonous shades of the deadly
upas tree by trimming its branches7
Nay; we must cut it up root and
SO must we deal with negro suffrage.
1t is foolish; it is cruel and crimi-
nal to disguise the facts. An ex-
perience of more than twenty-five
groes that they cannot rule; nay,
that they cannot influence govern
ment in Louisiana in the least.
They have been met at every point
in their mad attempt by violent
death and midnight riders; then by
ballot box suffers. OF all this the
white people are sick and tired.
We want and demand a free and
count. If the negro cannot be
eliminated-and here let our de-
luded fellow citizens, let the de-
luded negro bear it in mind; let it
sceare his eyeballs; ballot box stuff
ing has got to go; and if the negro
does not go with it, then there will
be revolution in every neighbour
hood in the State. This may strike
women and timid men with horror.
But death is better than debauchery.
1t is better far, it is infinitely more
humane, to kill ten thousand ne
groes or ten thousand white men
than that ballot box stufing and
fraud should become crystallized
in our politics and elections.
Perhaps it were more prudent not
to talk thus frankly. But in very
truth we have very kindly feeling
for the negroes who have been
thrust upon us from somc inscruta-
Bile motive by the Creator; and we
do not want them to be left in blind
ness of what is before them. They
are as a general thing docile race;
they are useful laborers; many of
them are excellent mechanics, and
under proper. influences they would
be very kind and good men and
women. But while they are
voting element in white COM
munity, they will never be under
proper Influences. Panderers and
demagogues will debauch them for
greed and position, and they in
their simple mindedness will believe
and follow when their worst enemies
fatter and pander to them.
Then let them know the facts.
The white people hipped and
killed them up to 1878 to suppress
their political power; after that
they carried the elections by fraud.
All this is true, for we shall not
seek to hide the truth. But the
fraud and ballot box suffer have
got to go. But when they are
gone the shotgun, the bull-whip and
the midnight rider will again come
to the front. Mark it, colored
men! There will be bloody revo-
luton aud every POLL at which the
negro attempts to vote will be
slaughter pen.
Let those intelligent negroes who
aim at being something better than
the tool of white or a negro poll
tjcian; who have some higher aim
for their votes than to sell 1t, and
who are anxious for the good, the
peace and quiet, and happiness and
prosperity of their race, bear all
this in mind, for it is the truth, it
the truth was ever spoken, and ad-
wise their people for their own
good.

On the Salem and swedesboro

yesterday morning, encountered snow
hanks from four to six feet high in

sufficiently to permit the train to pass.

LOOKING OUT FOR WRECKS

WORST STORM ON THE RIVER
FOR YEARs-alAN IN A FRAME
BUILDING CHAINED TO A STONE
PILE.
Saturday night and yesterdays early
morning storm, which was accompah-
led by binding snow, is one that VIII
long be remembered by those toilers
of the sea who happened to be in the
vicinity Of the Delaware Capes, Wnere
it was particularly severe.
AN through the early evening until
the break Of day the snow fell IN
sheets off the capes. Perched in his
seat in the old Maritime Exchange
Reporting Station, a frame building
chained to the stone pile OF the Break
water. sat superintendent John Rich
ards, scanning the locality all about
him. He was in momentary anticipa-
tion that some marines, misled by the
thickness Of the weather, would come
ashore.
OF in the distance could be observed
on Saturday, before the veil became
too thick, the outlines Of several sail
ing vessels tacking in shore IN EFFORT 70
reach the Brealwater harbor Every
tack seemed to land them further of
shore. The wind was Blowing a gale
sweeping directly out between the two
/ canes, as though through funnel and
the unfortunate craft cOuldn not fetch.
At daybreak yesterday these vessels
were nowhere in sight. They had, nc
doubt, been driven off shore, perhaps
to the Gulf Stream, under bare poles
and viii not be heard from for some
time.
1t was. according to Superintendent
Richards, an awful night, and some o
the old pilots and river men say II
many particulars the wind and SNOW
were quite as severe as the memorable
blizzard Of 1888. which wrought sucl
i haycc in this locality. Few ships pass
ed seaward from the capes during tn
last twenty-four hours, and still fewe
i arrroached the capes. Several Britis
cramps" whose ventures0me skipper
were fortunate enough to be able Z
land their pilots, went seaward an
wai,cwed away to the northward an
eaz,ward in the rough Atlantic.
These vessels that were anchored !
the harbor opposite the city lay wit
both anchors out and with a full scop
of chain Even with these precaution
their skinpers were in condition {
anNic.y all through the night lest the
should break adrift.
The few dispatches that were ser
out we're devoid Of interesting fes
