The ring confesses its weakness
when it seeks protection from de-
feat by calling into use such an
Internal machine as a returning
board, of which the ring has a
large majority, whose duty will be
to pass upon the political creed of
democrats, politically purer than
any of the ring candidates, and
whose only raison d'etre is to
count out a sufficient number of
votes to elect their faction.
The ring barometer went down
a few points after the Breaux
Bridge meeting of the Parish De-
mocratic Committee, the ring in
desperate straits, is trying to use
desperate means, but public opin-
ion can be abused just 80 much
and no more, they are abusing of
a sacred trust. The democratic
party is based upon sacred princi-
pies that has prolonged and per-
petuated it's existence to this day.
One of these fundamental princi-
Piles is "a government by the peo-
pie for the people" the ring gov
eminent of the people for the ring
is distasteful to a free people and
the time has come when public
opinion will demand at the poll
the extinction of a government be-
coming an uncivilized people.
Over one half of the Democra-
tic voters of the Parish of st Mar
tin have lost their suffrage by the
action of the Parish Committee.
Enough of them at the coming
primaries will be doubled republic
cans to meet the lack of popular
ity of the ring.
Government by bosses is gov
eminent fit for slaves, not for
white men, for a savage people,
not for people living under the
protection of the United States
Constitution. xxx

A GERMAN DROWN.

Last Friday evening, three Ger
snans, laborers on the Keystone
refinery, came to town in a small
piroque to do some purchases, and
che superstition is that they indul-
yed quite freely in the liquors,
and must have been considerably
under the influence of liquor when
they left town, and when they
reached the coal barges just below
town, it is reported thattheir piro-
Que struck one of the barges, the
shock threw one of the men in the
bayou, and the efforts of the 9TH
ers capsized the boat and all three
took a plunge in the cold water.
Two of them succeeded in getting
out of the water, but the third
one, named Frank Pott, from st.
Louis, was drowned.
One of the men walked back to
the keystone, the other was pick
ed by Father J. M. Langlois, who
came with his gasoline boat just
few minutes after the accident,
and brought him to town, where
he received good care until the
uext morning.
The bayou was dragged the mex,
morning and the body of the
drowned men was found at the
place it had sunk.
Sheriff Rees and Justice Power
went on the spot held and inquest
and had the man buried on the
bayou bank.
It would not have entailed much
more expense on the parish tc
have the body buried in. the GENE.
terry instead of the place where il
now lies. on the land of Mr.. Au.
gust Ledoux, the cemetery is the
place for the burial of all human
beings.
