The Business Mems Association
held meeting at the courthouse
Saturday, and among the matters
discussed by the members, was the
proposed railroad which is to run
from some point in Arkansas to the
Gulf. Lafayette should remember
what she lost when she supinely al
lowed New Iberia to get the Able
vile road. The farmers living in
the Southern part of the parish, es-
pecially, can realize what that road
would mean to them now, and it
is objectionable if our carelessness
and lack Of enterprise again leave
us in the lurch. We understand
that the association of business
men have taken this under full CON
sideration and no stone will be left
unturned in the attempt to get the
road to pass in the vicinity of La
fayette. A committee of citizens
from the parish has been selected
and a meeting called to be held at the
courthouse to-day. We sincerely
hope that practical steps will be
taken in the right direction, and
the people of the parish will have
had the satisfaction of having done
their best even if they are unsuc-
Cessful.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, sACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 26.-The Ways and Means
Committee of the Assembly will report
favorably upon the $50 900 appropriation

want for the purchase of a farm four
miles from the city of Stockton.
Twenty members of the Assembly and
Senate committees went to Stockton yes

asylum, where they were royalty enter
tanned by DIR. Wade. DR.. Young and
others of the directors. They were taken
through the institution and grounds, and
to-day were driven to the farm the pur.-
chase of which is being negotiated. A
dance was rendered the party at the asy-
lum last evening, in which the inmates OF
the asylum participated. The only oc-
currence to mar the pleasure of the. trip
was the sudden and serious illness of As
semblyman Crowly, who was stricken
last evening and brought back to this
city on the first train this morning under
the care of nurses from the institution.

scathing terms. He says that since that
sermon was delivered he has received
letters from all sections of the State
written by men in all walks OF life con-
graduating him upon the stand he took.
This convtnces me-" continued Rev.
Mr.. Brush, that the sentiment of the peo-
ple-that is, the best people, who are edu-
Gated, read the daily papers and think for
themselves, is unanimously against such
man as Burns. 1t could not be other
who takes pride in the State-wants to see
1T represented at Washington by man
who, If all we learn is true, should be
doing time in penitentiary.
Il believe the ministers should take a.
stand against such a candidate for the
moral welfare of the State. 1t would be
demoralizing to the rising generation if
Burns should, by any misfortune, be sue
cessful: 1t would teach young men that
the only road TO greatness was corrup-
