Died, at Crowley. La, Thurs
day, July Goth, 1899, at l:l0 p
III. ERNEST j. CLEMENTS. Ag'
46 years 7 months and12 days:
The deceased was well know
in this community, having been ;
resident of our town for IA mum
ber of years and actively engaged
in mercantile business here as ;
member of the firm of Clements
& Wilson.
During his residence here he
was elected IA member of the Town
Council and served as Mayor OF
Town for two terms.
He was the son of DR.. Jos. b.
Clements, one of the early pio-
neers of California and his sur.
viving widow Mistress Luisa To-
ledano is now respected and
venerated resident of our town.
Three brothers survive the de-
ceased-Mr. Jos. B. Clements of
Opelousas, Mr.. Edward S. Glenn
snts of Calcasieu Parish and Mr..
Henry G. Clements of Flushing
New York.
The deceased with his two
brothers Joseph and Edward and
his uncle Capt. E. A. Toledano
took an active part in the battle
Of the l4th of Sept. 1874 at New
Orleans, in which the latter
met his death, one among the few
victims of that notable and pat
riotic struggle. AS Captain of
Natson's battery he had passed
through the entire Confederate
war unscathed, and afterward of
fered up his life for his beloved
native State. His nephew Mr..
Edward S. Clements was standing
by his side when he received the
mortal shot from the Custom
House. The deceased and his
brother j. B. Clements now of
our town, were of Company "E"
commanded by Capt. R. B. Pleas
ants which did the hottest of the
fighting, as an evidence of which
the deceased fired eighteen shots
from Il Remington rifle which had
to be reloaded at each discharge,
and is said to have fred oftener
than any other soldier of the glo-
rious band of patriots who fought
that memorable battle. Had Mr..
H. G. Clements been old enough
at the time, doubtless all four
brothers would have been in the
fight.
The deceased in addition to the
many generous and chivalrous
traits of character which he pos
sessed, had many other personal
traits which endeared him to his
family and tc a large circle of
friends in New Orleans, in Acadia
Parish, and in this community.
As a business man he was scrupu-
lous, the highest sense of integrity
characterizlng his whole career.
1t may be truly said of him that
his word was as good as his bond.
Here at Opelousas, his former
home, he has many warm friends
who will deeply regret his death.
One of the most striking of his
characteristics was the fortitude
with which he bore terrible phys
cal suffering for many months of
The malady which caused his
death. He looked forward calmly
TO that event, spoke of it with ut
most composure and carefully
settled up every business detail
with his affairs.
Four years since he married
Mistress Annie Hough, and we
extend to her, to the venerable
mother, and to his
brothers our heartfelt sympathy.
May his gallant and noble spirit
'est in peace. The burial will
;ake place, here at the Public
Jemetary on the arrival of the
rain this, Friday, evening.

Senator Caffery and the Fig
Tree.

A facetious correspondent in
last Saturdays Lafayette Gazette,
under the nom de plume of Cow
boy, got off the following neat
piece of satire on the late devel-
opments in State politics:
see in the papers that some of
the big guns had a political meet
ing at Rayville 4 few days ago.
The principal orators at the
meeting were Senator Don CAT
ferry and Mr.. Charlie Boatner.
A few years ago Mr.. Caffery was
helping Gov. Foster to save the
"manhood of louisiana and in
cidentally to kill the OCTOPUS. -
Mr.. Boatner was in favor of pro-
longing the life of the OCTOPUS. -
But as is we'll known the ''octe-
pus' was killed. Foster got to
be governor and Caffery went to
Washington. Boatner stayed at
home. Foster settled down to
practical things and Caffery con-
tinued to fight octopi, in the
shape Of free silver, Dingley bill,
Bryan, corrupt ballot and "the
machine"
Being an unwary countryman
| will not try to say anything
about the "situation,' but |
want to tell what went through
my mind after reading the sena-
tors speech. He says he don't
want office, but simply wishes to-,
purify the ballot, break up the
machine and then he wants to 60
under his fg-tree in St. Mary and
enjoy the gulf breeze. Now |
don't like to impugn the Sena-
tors motive, but [ have a sort of
a creeping suspicion that Don
won't be satisfied alone under
that fig-tree. He's bent on tax
lug Murphy along with him.
There's the rub. Murphy amt
going to no fig-tree if he knows
himself. Don will have the dog
gonedest time in all his life. If
Murphy wants any fruit, he'll pre-
fer a senatorial plum to the larg-
est fig in Cousin Donnie's or
chard. | think | can be of some
service to my old friend. My ex-
perience as a stock-man has taught
me that ones got to be awful
slick to catch what is called a
"stock-horse.' % The stock-horse
is used to ,hord stock. He is the
slickest, shrewdest animal in the
push. The mere sight of sad
die is enough for him. He knows
what it means and he gives it the
widest kind of berth. So that |
the first thing that the cowboy
does when he starts out to catch |
the stock-horse, is to hide the sad |
die. He may succeed in roping |
him, but it's no use to try to get |
him where he is wanted if he sees
the saddle. Now what | want to
say Mr.. Editor is this. If old man
Don wants to get Murphy under
that fg-tree he'd better hide the
fig tree we'll, for if he don't, he'll |
never get him. My experience
with "stock-horses'' makes me
think that Don had better hide
the fg-tree if he intends to rope
Murf, because he'll never, no
never. Get him there alive.

When the Constitutional Con-

N. Wise and others begged the
representatives of Concordia, Ten
sas and other parishes of the
Black Belt, to so arrange matters
as to allow representation accord
ing to white population. This
was refused, and now a conven-
tion to nominate a Congressman
has been set aside, much unne-
cessary bitterness has been
aroused, all on account of this
representation based on the ne
gro population. And not only
this but the attempt on the part
of these parishes to base their
representation in any convention
on this population, will always
create discord, and will, perhaps,
provoke a bolt. Better have the
