MEETING
Held at Pilette tn Nominate an
Anti.Adnintstra Ticket.

In response TO a call inviting all
men opposed to the local admins
tration from $50 to 200 people met
at Pilette last Saturday to- nominate
ticket.
The meeting had been much
talked about and widely advertise
and NO doubt the small attendance
was a source of disappointment TO
ent there were some persons who
had gone there to see what was
going on as was evident from the
fact that they did not participate in
the proceedings. Hon. J. O. Brous-
sard was selected to preside. Upon
taking the chair Mr.. Broussard ex-
planned the object of the meeting in
a short address.
The only nomination which was
contested for was the one for sheriff.
For this official there were two
names presented--those Of Mr.. l..
G.. Sicily and Mr.. Paul Martin of
the sixth ward. This developed
into quite an animated fight.
Messrs. Grow Girard, w. b. Torian
and J. O. Broussard supported Mr..
Sicily while Messrs. Latiolais, Co.
chrane and Domengeaux advocated
the claims Of Mr.. Martin. A vote
was taken and Mr.. Martin was de-
clared the choice Of the meeting.
For the other Offices there were
no contestants. Hon. J. o. Brous-
sard and DR.. 7. P. Frahcez were
nominated for representatives, Mr..
Gilbert St. Julien for clerk and DR..
A. Gladu for coroner.
1t was decided to postpone action
relative to the judicial ticket. 1t
was reported that Messrs. Crow
Girard and r. w. Elliott would be
candidates for district attorney aud
an interesting fight was expected
among the supporters of the two
gentlemen.
No nominations Of ward officers
were made, and the meeting ad-
Joulnet WITHOUT atoptluS any TeSo-
lutiOns.
Speeches were made by DR..
Gladu, Messrs. Crow Girard, L. G.
Sicily, J. O. Broussard, r. H.
Broussard, Gilbert ST. Julien and
others. Mr.. ST. Julien made
weIl-worded speech. This young
gentlemen is fluent speaker and
from literary standpoint his effort
was very creditable.
The nominees are good men and
The Gazette regrets that they have
offered themselves for political
slaughter.

The Opening OF the Sugar
Season

Daily Picayune.
On Friday the first new sugar OF
the growth Of the present year ar
rived on the market and was sold.
The fact that the first arrival is two
weeks later than last year points to
the fact that the grinding season
has opened much later than usual,
and it is generally believed that
sugar making at the factories will
not he generally commenced until
Nov. I.
The cause Of the delay is not the
as Its small size. Ordinarily, when
the grinding commences early in
October, the sugar WELD pei ton is
not large, until late in the month,
Grinding is commenced early where
there is large crop to handle, to
guard against damage from a heavy
freeze late il the season. AS the
crop is not large this year, there is
no reason for commencing grinding
until the cane is suffi cientlv mature;
hence the planters are postponing
the opening Of tie factories as late
a. possible, SO that the sugar results
from the cane ground will be as
large as possible.
1t is understood that very large
amount of cane will be saved for
seed this fall, as it is the intention
to put in a heavy acreage for next
crop. This indicates that II t
planters are in no wise discouraged
by the setbacks Of the present
season. nor by the possible influence
Of political events on the future of
the sugar Industry.
1t Is to be hop d that the crop
will sell at good prices, and in that
way the planters be enabled to re-
coup themselves for the losses due
to the unfavorable weather Of last
winter and spring.

PRIMARIES ORDERED
To Nominate q Judicial Ticket
Both Parishes Agree at
Rayne.

"A committee composed of Messrs.
Julian Mouton, E. G.. VOORHEES,, 1.
"A. Broussard, VIM. Campbell and
A. NJ. Martin went to Rayne last
Tuesday to meet a similar body ap-
pointed by the Acadia committee.
The purpose of the meeting was to
decide upon the time and manner
Of nominating a judicial ticket for
the Democracy.
Judge Julian Mouton was elected
| chairman of the conference and Mr..
p S. Rugh secretary. AS the
members from both parishes ia
vored nominations by direct pri-
mary there was no difficulty in
reaching an agreement which was
mutually satisfactory. The follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That a white democratic pri-
mary, at which votes will be cast directly
for district Judge and district attorney for
the district composed of the parishes of La
fayette and Acadia, be held Throughout said
district on Saturday, the 9th day of Deem
Der, 1890.
The candidates receiving the plurality of
votes at SAID primary shall be the nominees
of the democratic party for said district. In
case of tie another primary will be held
on the 10th day of December, 1900, and
the candidate receiving the majority of the
votes cast at said primary will be the nom-
neeS of the democratic party. In case of a
second primary, it shall be under the same
rules and regulations governing the first
primary.
The democratic executive committees of
the parishes OF Lafayette and Acadia shall
respectively fix the qualifications of voters
who shall participate in said primary, and
shall make all provisions, rules and regula-
tons for said primary election.
The result of said primary as declared by
the committees of the respective parishes
shall be returned to the chairman of said
committee at Lafayette, La, who with the
members of this committee shall promulgate
the result and declare who are the demo-
cratic nominees.
Rumors had been circulated by
misguided persons that the La
fayette Democracy would favor a
convention which would, under the
population basis of representation,
euable this parish to dictate both
judicial nominations. These ru-
mors were given credence by peo-
pie who were evidently not familiar
with the characteristic fairness of
the Regular Democracy Of Lafayette
parish. The Democrats of this
parish were among the first in the
State to advocate primaries and
The Gazette felt confident that at
the proper time they would give a
complete lefutation of the charge
that they were opposed to this most
just method Of getting the popular
will.
The Gazette is informed that both
factions OF the Acadia Democracy
were pleased with the result of the
conference, and that they expressed
their intention to support Hon. &.
Debaillon for judge. They have
not yet decided upon candidate
for district attorney.

NIarcOni's Wireless Telesraphy

NlarSOniS wireless ISlSSraDhy.
Daily Picayune:
The presence in this country of
Signor Marconi and the possibility
of adapting his inventions to mill
Department to arrange tor a series
of extensive experiments to deter
mine just how useful the Marconi
system could be made to facilitate
the navy, as we'll as between the
ships and shore stations. The mere
fact that Signor Marconi is able to
transmit messages considerable
distance without the ordinary me-
dunn of wires does not necessarily
make his system of value to the
naval service. Unless by practical
experiments it is demonstrated that,
by the Marconi system, messages
can be transmitted from one ship
to another with entire success and
under all conditions, the system
would be worse than useless, as in
the military service only a com
pletely reliable system can be de-
pended on for the transmission of
signals and orders.
In order to give Signor Marconi
complete opportunities for proving
the value Of his invention to naval
uses the Navy Department has de-
termined to detail the armored
cruiser New York and the battle
ship Massachusetts to the work of
conducting exhaustive Investigations
into the merits of the MarConi
method. Experiments will be made
in transmitting messages between
the ships at varying distances and
during foggy weather. Commune
calion between the ships and the
shore will also be attempted.
The success Of the Marconi wire
less telegraphy would be of the
greatest advantage to the naval ser
vice. At present signals and com
use of flags, s'shapes" and electric
lights at night. All Of these sys-
TENS are very useful and are entirely
successful in clear weather for short
distances, but for long distance sig
mailing they are unreliable, and all
of them are utterly worthless in
fog. If by the wireless system YES
sells are enabled to communicate
when not even visible to each other
or to observers on shore, great
step forward will have been made;
and not only will the dangers of
naviga ton be diminished, but means
Of communication at sea, and par
tiCuiariv in time Of war, would be
greatly improved.
If it is shown that vessels can
communicate with each other at sea
by the wireless tclegraphy system, it
will also be demonstrated that diff
terent bodies Of troops ashore can
communicate with headquarters or
with each other. THIS would be Of
the greatest value when operating in
hostile country where the ordinary
lines of commune alton have been
destroyed. 1t is stated that the
British army officials proposed to
utilize the Marconi system during
the campaign in Africa.
The tests about to be made by
the Navy Department = will be
watched with keen interest, and we
may expect an impartial verdict, as
the naval service would not think Of
adopting the system for actual use
reliable.
