WHAT a treavesty is the fact that the only man the democratic party could elect to the presidency in more than forty years, is houted by his party, and is in open rebel lion against its financial heresies, while the great idol of the party is the man who has just been showed under by the greatest popular majority ever recorded greater even than that under which Grant buried Horace Greedy in 1872.

IT HAS been estimated that the cost of an American presidential election exceeds the enormous al- lowances made through every four years to British royalty out of the public treasury. But the Ameri- can cost of election comes from in dividual contributions to campaign funds by those who can well afford to pay, and is not tax upon the people. Therein is the American method far superior, even if more expensive.

THE Vidette of last week expres- sed belief that Dr. Noon's big majority for the legislature was a vindication of his record in the the board of supervisors. Per haps it was. The doctor voted against extension of the jail cells contract, and 1t is reported that without consulting his col leagues on the board he quietly procured cancellation of the con- tract after 1t was extended. That was very commendable surely And, in February last, the doctor also voted to let the printing con tract to the lowest bidder, going against his colleagues in that im- portant matter. When they come to read Judge Sloan srecent decision in the case of Wallace vs. Navajo county, figure up what Judge Sloan says the Navajo county supervis- ors and their bondsmen have to pay, and figure up what they and their bondsmen will have to pay in Santa Cruz county, eff Judge Sloan's decision is good law) Doctor Moons colleagues upon the board of supervisors will probably get faint glimmering of an under standing of wherein that estimable gentleman was quite foxy.

THOSE who are fond of picking quarrels with newspapers should take lesson from the fate, of Wiley Jones of Graham county. Eight years ago Jones was elected district attorney in Graham, and was a very strong man. But he must pick a quarrel with the democratic organ, the Bulletin. Two years later the Bulletin folks shut him out from nomination. Jones ran independent and won. Four years ago the democratic nomination was given him, the Bulletin bolted him,

THE REGISTRATION.

Registrar Of voters NJ. l.. Brods-
sard has notified the voters, by
his public notice which is inserted
in the Messenger that the regis
tration Office would be open until
the 18th of this month, but it now
appears that he has closed his Of
flee and gone to the swamps, and
he has said that he will register
only when he will happen to be
in his Office.
Mr.. Broussard, as a public Of
fcer had no right to notify the
public that his Office would be
open until the 18th unless he in
tended to remain in his Office to
register the voters. 1t looks very
much like a political trick, and
the supposition is that the voters
who are not registered are the
friends of the Badon faction.
Is it reasonable to suppose that
n voter who was officially notified
that he had until the 18th to re.
gister can come to town and re-
main three or four days or week
watching his chance to catch the
registrar in his Office? This is ar
imposition that should be stopped
Immediately, and the citizens
should at once take legal ster
against the registrar and a peti.
ton should be Immediately
made to the Governor for his re-
moval.
Citizens of st. Martin, stand te
your right and demand justice
from the public officers. and un
less you have that, do not hest
tate to have redress through the
proper legal channel.

The Primary Election.

The second primary held in St.
Martin parish, this year, which
took place Tuesday the 9Th inst,
for District Judge and District
Attorney, was not as holly contes-
ted as the parish election, and the
result will not be the same, we
mean by this, that the defeated
candidates, will not bolt, they will
not revolt against the vote of the
majority, but will gracefully SUBJ
NIT to the will of the people.
This is how it should he, the
will of the people in selecting pub
lie officers, who are in fact public
servants should be respected, as
they are those who should by
their vote command, it lie they
who should say to the greedy, un-
scrupoulous Office seekers, "you
are not wanted, step down., and
when they revolt against that ma
jority of the voters, when they
bolt and defiantly rise and tell to
the voters, we will run against
your will and try by any means or
tricks, to force ourselves upon
you. it is time for the mighty peo-
pie to rise IN their power and
crush the insoleut boilers who re-
sist the decree of the majority of
the white voters of st. Martin
parish.
Crush down the clique Of pro-
fessional politicians, and when the
people have done that and elect
to public Offices men who seek
eir SURFACES instead of men who
command their votes as the Dol.
ters are trying to do, then, and only
then, will the people realize their
power, their authority.

The Henderson faction have
carried the parish at Tuesdays
primaries in Iberia. As is usual,
the defeated candidates claim that
they have been betrayed, sold, and
all such foolish things. People
generally have good opinion OF
their own popularity, and always
believe that the people are always
anxious to follow them, but when
it comes to get the votes, some OF
the candidates get seriously dis
appointed.

Preparations for the qusdruple
hanging of the negro murderers of
young Martial Sorrel has been
made for Friday, the End. and
thousands of people, white and
black, came to witness the execu-
ton as far as it could be seen. But
on Thursday evening, in response
to a signed document sent the
Governor from here that there was
serious doubt as 10 the guilt of
two of the accused, stay of exc
cution was granted to Charles
Brown and John Green. The
two others, Reuben Cately and
Hypolite Brown were executed at
the hour of noon. Cately, from
the scaffold, reiterated his original
statement, that the crime was COM
mited by the four accused, the
two Browns and Green entering
the victims rooms, while he stood
on the outside. Hypolite Brown
made a rambling talk protesting
his innocence as we'll a. that of
his brother Charles and John
Green. 1t is probable now that
the two latter may be consigned
to the penitentisry for life.-N. I.
