The widespread publication that
the New York Journal had repudiated
Bryan and bimetallism was a trick Of
the enemy. The New York Journal
in an editorial disowns any responsi-
bility for Arthur McEwan's contri-
button regarding William J Bryan. The
Journal says it's political opinions are
tc be found in it's editorial columns, not
over the names Of contributors, even
though they be editorial writer's The
Journal says 1t will support Bryan
again II he is the Democratic nominee
IN 1900.

The political bosses have given to

structed TO speak all together in stem
torian tonet Trusts are not formed
along political lines.' This oracular
deliyerance has been ordered because
the trusts have grown so numerous
and aggressive that the people are be
ginning to recognizs the fact that the
Republican party fosters trusts, was
placed in power by trust, and is to all
intents and purposes the slave Of
trusts. In order to succeed, trusts
must have political protection An

TO control the Democratic national
convention, and when that attempt
failed the trusts 1eked to the Repuh.

Tuesdays Flood.

The year 1898 is starting out as
though it would be u record breaker in
the matter of weather. The severe
cold of the lst and Cd Of January was
followed by a very warm spell, and on
Tuesday the 18th, a terrible rain storm
struck US. Beginning about s o'clock
with a slight shower the rain was soon
pouring down in torrents. with a heavy
gale blowing from the east. 1t rained
all day and until about 8 O'clock at
night when it Stacked up. The bayou
and coulees we're all out of their banks
for several days and lacked but a few
inches of being as high as in the big
flood of April 1897. The total rainfall
was nearly 5 inches.
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1898-01-22
Weather and Roads.

The unusual amount of rain and
cloudy, foggy weather this month and
last have made nearly all the roads
throughout the parish a succession Of
bog holes and quagmires of varying de-
grees of badness. In fact it has been
many years since the public roads we're
known to be III sIch a horrible plight
People in iberia and Lafayette are ac-
customed to such things for they fairly
reyel in miserable roads all the year
round and never work them systemati-
eally. The rainy weather makes it
evident that in order to have good
roads at all times We must adopt a
general system Of graded roads with
the road bed so elevated to be above
all water and with proper drainage.
Mr.. Miller has urged the matter before
the police jury and We hope they will
act on it at once. Strike while the
iron is h0t.
