Fight For
The Right Of the Peo-

Down Boss Rule In
St. Martin arish.

The people of st. Martin parish
owe debt of gratitude to Mayor
T. j. Liable for the noble fight he
has made to wrest the parish of
st. Martin from boss and ring
rule, and to restore it to the peo-
pie where it Justly belong, and
hereafter, we trust that the people
will treasure their right of COLI
Quoting their affairs to suit them
selves, by electing officers who
will be the servants of the people,
instead of submitting to the die
tate of autocratic bosses.
We doff our hat to you Mayor
Liable, for the noble and success
full fight you have made.
To the people of the Fourth
ward for the substantial majority
they placed in the column of the
ants.
To the people of the Fifth ward
who by the large majority, show

And to those people Of the first,
second and third wards, who,
though in minority, made noble
campaign, and contributed large

1t is reported on what we consi-
der good authority that the ring
offered one leader, in the fifth
ward, five hundred dollars for the
twenty two votes he controlled,
but the man was honest and refu-
sed the money. His vote and those
of his friends were cast for Badon
and his ticket.
The Christmas tree entertain
ment given at the College hall last
Sunday by the Sisters of Mercy,
was a complete success. The play,
given for the occasion, the Lost
Child or Gypsy's Revenge, was
well rendered, and was highly ap-
preciated by the audience. The
children part of the audience, with
all kinds of toys, were just as moi
sy as they could possibly be.

The Vigilant Hook and Ladde,
Fire Co No 1, had their tenth an.
nual dinner last Sunday. The
election of officers was held, and
the same old officers were re-elec-
ted for the ensuing year.
We said in our last issue that
the Old Citizen, of twenty years
experience, the old fence rider;
who published his figures in last
issue of the Evangeline, was an
old fool. The election result pro-
we'd our assertion.
When the affidavits which were
taken to Baton Rouge are turned
over to the Grand Jury for inves-
tigation concerning the registra-
ton of this parish. we expect to
hear startling things; and we will
know if all the public rumors are
we'll founded on facts.
The contest the ring made af-
ter their defeat, have turned pub
lie opinion against them, and
many of their friends and supper
tiers have expressed themselves in
favor of Badon and his ticket, be-
cause they had won honestly and
fairly.

general election, they will have to
use a field glass to find their votes.

have for the holidays, X. Schwartz

will give great bargains in that
Zine.
The ring had two commission
'ers at each poll and the ants one,
and yet they contest and say the
election was not fair. Is this not
strange? e
We would like to be present
when the ring committee will take
out the republican votes from the
box. How will these great lumi-
uaries detect them from the, 9TH

GOOD ADVICE.

New York Tribune: The man who had
been to Europe and the man who had
stayed at home We're dining together and
the service was Wretched. This is too
much to be borne said the man who had
stayed at home. land l am going to make
a complaint about this walters to the
MANAGE"
mo. don't do that" said the man who
had been to Europe; lit won't do any
good"
Why won't it? That fellow has no
right to treat us this way, and III have
him discharged"
Don't do it," said the man who had
bene to Europe. Let him stay here. and
then you can go to the other restaurants
and be sure not to meet him. Listen to
the advice of one who has had expert
, ence."
"Wha experience"
well, if you will dwell on painful sub
! jects. l will tell you. When I was in Paris
the waiter who attended me at the hotel
where l stayed was the worst l ever saw
in my life. You think service is worse
here than in Europe. Maybe it is, as a
rule, but when service abroad is bad it is
bad. At last I determined that l would
, have that waiter discharged. 1t was the
last day of my stay, and l thought it
would make no further difference to me,
but / was determined to see justice. Just
, as L was gong away i calIeQ the pfOpfle-
tor and told him how bad the waiter had
been. He called the waiter and discharg-
ed him in my presence, and l went away
feeling that l had benefited future guests
at that hotel. l went straight to Brus-
sells. / got there late at night. went to a
hotel and went to bed. The next morning
| when l came into the dining room, there
was that waiter standing before me, bow
ing with a sarcastic grin and waiting to
! yol-a y, nrlor AS LONG &C I St1 we'd there
he did lust badly enough to keep me in a
! worry and just we'll enough so that 1
! couldn't find one thing to complain of.
! Now, you take my advice. Remember
| where the bad walters are, but don't try
to move them around.

sharp sword, and a similar board placed
on top. Heavy weights being placed on
these, blood and flesh, of course, poured
forth like cider. A favorite method also
was saving alive, the screams of the
whites being particularly sweet music to
the ears Of those whose ancestors had
known nothing but the lash for centuries.
But even Jeannot ran his course at last.
Whether it was that he asked too much
of the spOilS or whether the excuses he
lived in day n night ~enervated him,
it is certain that his influence gradually
waned, and when Toussaint LOWER
lures star arose he speedily sank be-
meath the horizon. He was taken and put
to death by one of his own l~ieutenants.
ToUssAINT NO SAINT.
OF Touissant himself it is said that des-
pite general superstition to the contrary
he was far from humane and that al
though undoubtedly the ablest man the
island had ever or has ever. produced, ne
would not do set up as a model to the CIV
ilized youth. AS mentioned before, Whit
tier wrote a most touching poem about
him. The poet of abolition bewailed his
untimely end in stanzas Of which every
other line contained a stab at the anu
abolition party, and magnitled the VIZ
tues of his hero. as poets have done since
poetry began and will do until it ends, in
order to help along his own pet cause. AS
a matter of fact Touissant was little diff
ferent from Jeannot. insofar as the es-
sentially negro qualities of his nature
were concerned. and he rose over jean
not and all the fiends of his time, not De-
cause he was less of a beast. but because
he was more of a man. His end is as
much a matter of doubt as the unfor-
tunate Man of the Iron Mask, and al
though it is popularity supposed that the
IN. who took him by treachery ana
incarcerated him alone in a military
prison by the sea, starved and tortured
him to death in return for the crueltles
he himself had perpetrated on french
prisoners. it is probable that far less at
tention was paid to his carrying off than
is generally supposed, Napoleon having
far other affairs on his hands in the early
day of this nineteenth century than the
murder of a negro rebel. The
side of Touissant was all bosh, but it
pleased many theorists and served the
aged Whittier for a theme.
