of advertising that came in at the
last moment.
We are informed Mat real
estate along the branch Soad to
Anaudville is increasing in value
pretty rapidly.
We have heard of several mat
riages for after lent Do not for

\ Senator r. Martin went to New
Orleans last Sunday to contract
for the machinery to complete his
refinery on the Ruth plantation.
The firm of j. 8. Larm & Co.,
have opened their large store of
general merchandise in the bull
ding lately occupied by Mr.. L. G.
Duchamp.
We learn that the Southern
Pacific depot at Duchamp station,
with two cars of baled cotton burn
ed to the ground last Monday
night, the fire was caused by
sparks from a locomotive.
We acknowledge reception of
an invitation to attend a grand
fair at Great Scott, Lafayette pa
rish, which will take place on June
4th and 9Th, for the benefit of the
Catholic church OF that place.
We are now enjoying a season
which we can call the balmy
spring, all the trees are about
covered with flowers and pretty
covering of tender green. the
ground is covered with a carpet of
green, and sweet scented flowers
are to be seen every where.
Father Langlois had this week
the brick entrance of the church
laid down in cement, which COM
pletes the inside repairs of our
vast religious edifce, which is to-
day as fresh and pretty as any
church in the country and our
people can now talk of their
church with pride.
DR.. j. S. Martin has our thanks
for a collection of lovely roses
sent to this office last Saturday
evening. The Doctor has a pref
ty collection of roses, and at this
time his flower garden is in full
bloom, making pretty sight and
at the same time the frangrance
of the flowers pervades the air
which is carried about by the gen.
tie spring breeze.
We understand that the milk
men have combined to resist the
town tax imposed upon them by
town ordinance. It looks as if the
outside people of the corporation
intend to run this town, instead oft
being run by the town authorities,
but they can rest assured that at
any and all costs the town will en-
force its ordinances to the full ex-
tent
Mr.. L. G. Duchamp has moved
into his vast establishment His
store is by far the largest in town
and was built expressly to accom-
modate the line of goods carried
by Mr.. Duchamp. That great es-
tsblishment is fully worth visit,
it shows to greatadvantage the i'm
mense stock of goods which are
displayed by the good taste of Mr..
Duchamp and the assistance of
clerks who understand their bust

thought uppermost In the mind of
the municipality OF making laws TO
enrich all and thus enrich the muui-
cipality.
RESULT OF PRIVATE CONTRACTS.
Under the private contract system
OF labor in one OF the cities last year,
the contractor put laborers In com
petition with each otter for the work
Of digging sewer by the foot, with
the result as ! have been told by the
civil engineer of that city, that those
lahorers received less than so cents
day, In another city of Ohio
laborers on the street improvement
and repair received less than 5000
for their years work, the
labor market being so cverstocked
that they could be employed less than
half time in order that all might have
a little work, Yet in that very same
city, there are men who used the
streets aud piled up IN profits hun
d5eds of dollars, wholly unconscious Of
their guilt In using streets kept up at
the cost of the lives OF other men.
Gentlemen of the convention, the
great service that Is to be performed
through the medium or public owner
ship is the awakening Of the social
conscience, the arouslng of a pure and
noble conception Of patriotism; Is the
bringing up OF a class OF men and
women too good and too noble to con-
sent to lsve at the expense OF the lives
of their. fellows. 1t Is because L see
the rainbow of promise In public own
ership that shall secure for US as a
people this larger realization Of liberty
that plead for 1t. 1t is because
l know that only In the
good OF all Is the real good of the
individual to be found that l plead
for collective work. 1t is because l
stand, like many of you, day after
day, with hopeless and hungry men,
pleading that they might be allowed
TO work, that 1 raise my voice In their
behalf. 1t Is not because L would
stir up dlssenslon or cause trouble; IL
Is because l would avoid trouble, aud
point the way to the smooth sea of
that speak for these men,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There Is Cnly one way 10 cure deaf
ress, aud that Is by constitutional
.emedles. Deafness Is caused by an
infiamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eusthchlan Tube. When
this tube IL infiamed you haYe a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
aud when 10 is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless inham-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
tiamed conditition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred rollars

THE PRACTICAL MAN.

Mr. Chairman, aud gentleman,
what we lack is Ideals, not idols. Our
idol has been the practical man, we
must lind the ideal man. We have
pointed TO the IndlYldual, who by his
superior cunning or prowess and
strength has amassed the wealth OF
his fellow men, as our model OF sue
cess, But, gentlemen, we are coming
to see that all such success ls pur-
chased at the price OF the failure OF
the many, and our greatness Is TO be
proven 10 the days To come, not by
pointing TO the individuals here
aud there VINO are like the anaconda,
gorged with wealth for which they
have no use, at the expense OF an
army OF paupers and tramps who have
no wealth'to use, but rather by point
ing to citizenship that is made up
of people truely free and truely
happy. A republic 10 which there are
neither drones nor idlers, where the
interest OF all sings US to our work,
and when we shall have passed up the
broad avenues OF collective ownership
TO a realization OF that condition, who
shall be able to fathom our product
iyity aud cheer.

WHAT SHOULD THE CITY OWN9
DECEPTION AND FRAUD.
'ontinued from First Page


The growth OF sentiment in favor o
public ownership, as seen Ia this con
Yention Of representative men, indl
Gates that the mind Of the people Is
rapidly clarifying on this question
They are beginning to see that nc
good reason exists why all the people
In the city shall say to few of the
people, the lighting company, the
waterworks company, the street rail
way company. NOW all of us will
give you IA few of us) the right to get
rich of from the rest Of US" Large
numbers OF the people are beginning
TO see that the only wealth that is 10
any sense theirs is the common
wealth, and with instincts that are
perfectly natural they are striving to
regain possessions that haye passed
out Of their hands, usually through
the practice of deception and fraud,
THE ONLY DANGER.
The only danger that / can see In
growth Of sentiment in favor Of
collective ownership is the threatened
doom OF those who seek individual
gain at the expense of the people.
Free gifts Of franchises worth mil
lions are not as common as
they once were; the people are
beginning TO realize that the source
of their wealth is in labor-hard,
sweating labor - aud with this
realization comes a revelation of the
truth that those who do not
labor do not produce wealth, all the
fine spun theories about brain work
and capital to the contrary notwith-
standing.
IMPROVING CITIZENSHIP.
But the greatest good we are to find
through municipal ownership will be
found in the improved quality Of our
Not, however, because,
as 1t is probably proclaimed, mans
value to the state is measured by his
possessions, but because Of the family
feeling aud truly patriotic sentiment,
the love of country which is love OF
our fellow men that will be awakened
In the mans breast by the centem-
plation of the fact that he is a MEM
Der of a family who own their own
bridges, who own their own
who own their own
electric light plant, who own their
own telephone and express and mes
,enger service; a member OF family
who owns and does everything for the
'amily that eau, by any possibility, be
better done by collective than by pri-
Gate effort. And whenever the feeling
s once awakened that this Is our city,
hat this Is our country, then a man
In the best sense OF the word,
/ citizen who loyes his country. This
ceiling will be wonderfully enhanced
Is the city goes forward in the work
If municipal ownership. The people
will learn that they can serve them
'elves better without profit than a
can serve them with
profit, as an incentive for their effort.
