third feature will be the employment OF

Most cordial Christmas and New Years
greetings to all the readers of our column.
1t is certain this season of the year has
come to be a time Of good will' to all
mankind wherever the good news OF the
redemption has been made known.
While Il may be true as some say that
there is an extravaganza and an excess of
giving. and that some make presents that
they may receive equivalent returns,
spirit of beneyolenee prevails in the man
sion aud the hut. and the child's penny
expended for gift 10 some playmate, rep
resents more sacrifice and a. much friend
Illness a. the milIionaire's thousand dollar
present.
1t Is the being remem beredn that
pleases US. Love and kind heartedness
can never be reckoned in dollars and
cents. Our hearts get so large at Christ
mas tide that our pocketbooks cannot
stand the strain; at least, that is the
trouble with some persons. In the col
umn next TO ours in the last AMERICAN
was most fitting selection from the La
dies Home journal relating TO this very
subject OF gifts.
The excitement OF Christmas festivities
with their attendant hurry and work,
naturally produces reaction which pos
sibly makes fitting conclusion to the old
year, and causes US more fully TO realize
our shortening" during the days that
are gone, and so the years come and go.

The climatic diseases OF winter are
mainly coughs. colds, catarrh, hroneh-

is an absolute specific for all of these af-
fections. Pe-ru-na will cure cough or

The Man Beyond Reproach.

Mr.. Boatncr i'll his speech at Gin
ton on the 25th said "that the
Jackson Democratic party would
put a man at the head Of the ticket
who was "beyOnd reproach," Is
there only one mah i'll the State OF
Louisiana that is''beyond reproach,' y
and are the members of the Jackson
Democratic Association the only
men in the state that are authorized
to name this rare patriot?
Unless we are to depart from old
Democratic usage, VIC think that ALL
good democrats should have a voice
in naming this man who is beyond
reproach, and that ALL democrats
should participate in the nomination
of a candidate for Governor.
Has the Democratic party of
Louisiana, been reduced to such a
low state of leadership, that no Que
can lead it out of the chaos, which
Mr.. Boatner, predicts, except the
Jackson Democratic party?
We arc in favor of no cliqucs,-
administration or anti-administra
tion,-Jacksonian or otherwise
But believe in a united Democracy
without any new handles to THEN
names, and without any side shows
and under the management of mel
who really ''don't want any office
and who for that and other reasons
are the only men that can name
the oman beyond rcproach.'

JUDGE LAWRiS)X A CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR.

Judge S. NC. Lawrason of West
Fcl;ciana parish, is the first dis
tinguished citizen of 10 is ana to
announce himself as u candidate to
succeed Hon Murphy J. Foster i'll
the gubernatorial chair. The all
nouncement was made Yesterday at
an Old.fashiOned barbecue near ST.
FranciSville which attracted 4 large
number of people from the adjoin-
ing parishes. In his section of the
State there is not u better known
or more highly esteemed citizen
than Judge Lawrason,w who in a long
al honorable career, has rendered
invaluable service to his State and
the cause of white supremacy and
good government.
lie is eminently qualified, mental
ly aud every Other way, to fill the
high Office to which he aSpircs, and
if elected his record in the past is a
sufficient guarantee that in admins,
tcring the affairs Of State he will
be guided solely by an honesty OF
purpose to do what an unbiased
Judgment dictates is best for the
interests Of all the people. Judge
LaWraSon says that in seeking elct,
ton to the govc%norship he does sc
us a straightoul Democrat, and noi
as Il representative of any faction OF
bis party. His platform is simply
to do bis duty to the Whole peopI,
and not use the executive Office t,
further the political ambition of his
own Or anybody eIsc's friend.
Now that Judge Lawrason ha'
appeared in the field, it may be sal,
that the ice is broken, and it is quite
probable that other popular men it
different sections of the State vii
enter the lists by announcing thei
candidacy for gubernatorial honoTS
and the people will have an oppor
tunity to choose from among then

Robert Ingersoll. the great ag,
nostic, has passed away. So sud.
denly, however, that he had no pre-
monitiou of the approach of death,
and there were no last words said
which were significant of the great
change. 1t is said that in earlier
years, he expressed a wish to be
conscious, in his last hours, of the
event impending, SO that lie might
describe to others his impressions.
In later years, he desired to die as
he has done, quickly and without
knowledge of the end. Was it be-
cause of an innate fear that his
testimony would not harmonic will,
the teachings of bis life, or was it,
that the approach of annihilation,as
he believed it, was too dreadful for
mortal to contemplate with forti-
tude? Perhaps, for both reasons.
Certainly, to have no hope Of d flu
ture beyond the grave is the most
despairful of human conditions.
