the qualification is practically
thus: Follow the dictate of the
ring, and we will praise you as a
Democrat; but if you have the
manhood to oppose the ring, we
will brand you a worthless repub-
lican.
We trust that the Democratic
voters of the parish will crush the
ring under an avalanche of votes,
and bury their political combina-
ton 30 deep, that they will never
be able to organize again.

Got Out Of Jail.

0OI Out vi ole
Thursday the Angelo boys who
we're in the steele cage, both con-
victed to the penitentiary, pleaded
with deputy sheriff Broussard and
jailer Bertrand, to take them out
of the cage, because the partitions
of the cage are not working, and
the negro Brown who is also con-
victed to the penitentiary is furi-
GUS, and is always mad as a lion,
and dangerous. Realizing the
condition of things, deputy Broas-
sard and jailer Bertrand consented
to allow the Angeles the use of
one of the brick cells. The negro
who is a powerful man, who breaks
all the chains and locks that can
be used to secure the partitions Of
the cage tore up a piece of iron
from the cage and gave it to Ar
mand Angel who broke a hole
from the second story and with
the use of his blanket got down.
Armand and his brother should
have run away, as their last hope
of getting out has vanished, by
the decision of the Supreme court
affirming the verdict of the dis
trict court. but not so, Numa re-
manned in the Jail while Armand
went to Judge Jas. E. Mouton, one
of his lawyers, to whom he said
he was going home to see his wife
and child who were sick, and
whom he would perhaps see no
more, as he might be taken to the
penitentary before they would be
we'll enough to come and see him.
He sent word to jailer Bertrand
that he had left money with his
brother Numa, in Jail, to pay for
the carriage to come and get him
the next morning.
Both of the Angel boys say they
do not want to run away, and as
this is the second chance they had
to escape, we must conclude that
they are truthful.
Any man of family can we'll
imagine the mental strain of these
men, who are both married and
have children, one goes for five
years, and the other for life, and
the one who goes with the chance
OF never returning. to seq his dear
wife and little child, his action is
not to be wondered at.
Armand was returned to Jail the
same night.
The case of these two unfortu-
nate men. and the case of James
Fuselier, all men of good families,
of honest and respected parents,
all leaving behind them innocent
wives and children, whose suffer-
ing will be for ever for their dis
graced ones, should be warning
to all, not to be too hasty in re-
senting an imaginary wrong with
the gun, for it always create trou-
bic and suffering for all concerned.
The court and not the gun should
settle all trouble between men; this
would save innocent persons lots
of sufferino

WHAT A DIFFERENCE.


When the Democratic parish ex-
ecutive committee met at Breaux
Bridge, on the 18th of November,
they did not think that any seri-
Gus opposition to the ring candi-
dates would spring up, and in the
resolutions adopted at that meet
inq, tue onty qualification to vote
at the primary Of December 10Th
was as follows:
THAT the necessary qualification OF a
voter at said primary election, shall sim
oily be that is white registered Demo-
osat Of thu parish"
When the ringsters made q can
vas of the parish, learning of the
change against the ring, which
meant absolute and certain defeat
of the ring; they conceived the
idea of depriving a certain num-
Der of persons from voting upon
the plea that they are republicans.
but they will be careful to chal-
lenge as kSo,on republicans, those
white voters who gre clearly kno,Un
20 be against the ring.
These politicians care not for
Democracy, Democratic principle,
or Democratic success, what they
are after are the Offices, and paps,
and that, they must have, even to
the dertriment of the Democratic
party, and the proof of this, is
their last rules adopted, to drive
white Democrats from the party
simply because they are opposed
TO ring rule. Hear what they say:
"Whereas 1t has been brought to the
notice Of the Parish Democratic Execu-
Sive Committee Of the Parish Of st. Mar.
tin. that the republicans or some of them
have expressed their intention OF taking
part and voting ut the Democratic Pri-
mary called by this committee for Dec.
10th. 1899, and
Whereas. the Primary has been called
Tor Democrats only Of the Parish Of st.
Martin as fully stated in the resolutions
adopted by this body on Dec. 18th. 1899,
and
Whereas. In order to prevent any mis-
understanding on this question and to
avoid trouble at the Polls in regard to
this matter. be 1t
Resolved. that the commissioners OF
Election shall allow only known Demo-
Gratis to taKe part and vote at said Pri.
mary, and shall challenge the vote of
any republicans who may attempt or Of.
fer to vote for any Of the different can
tiidates.
Be 1t further resolved, That this COM
mittee understands by Democrats, one
who has heretofore adhered to and prac-
ticed the doctrines and principles Of De-
urUcracy; or should he for q time have
abandoned or strayed from the party,
one who has in good faith made timely
return and has openly aud unreservsdly
announced his allegiance to the Demo-
cratic Party.
Why did they not say! We
mean by Democrat one who ia
vors the ring candidates from head
to tail, it would have simplefed
matters immensely.
The Baton Rouge Advocate, the
organ, the bible of the Democracy
of the State of Louisiana, who has
at heart Democratic success, is not |
rs selfish as the ring of st. Martin
parish, it shows more good judg-
ment, and more liberality, and is
anxious to have all good men come
iutO the party, 1t says:
I'VE should like to zee every good man
In the country become Democrat" and
further says: livery person who offers
b vote iu the prinaries must vote tic.
