0ld,EashiOn Mothers and Their
Daughters.

The old fashion mother some
times hears her daughters chatter
to young men of subjects which even
now bring hot blush to her with
cred cheeks. But she does not re
prove her, Susy has gone through
college. She talks as fippantlY OF
Huxley and Renan as if they had
played with her in her cradle She
has spent a year without chaperon
in Dresden studying music. What
is there that Susy does not know?
How should this poor lady advise
or correct her daughter as mothers
use to do when tyey stood upon
higher plane than their children?
Her son, Tom, has even wider
freedom, His father, like most
Americans, is climbing mp the lad

like most Americans, he feels hie

not fail! He will be the great mill

powerful man that the father meant
to be. The father watches the boy
as the gambler watches the card that
is to win the game for him. And the
boy from his cradle knows his i'm
portance. There is no rawhide for
him, no side-table, no snnbbing, no
discipline, not even hint that he

Washington, Nov. IL. 1900.


Washington, Nov. IL. 1900.
Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives who have been in
Washington since the. election
have not been disposed to talk
for publication on the result, not
because they are discouraged or
that they consider the future of
the Democratic party in either
doubt or danger, but on general
principles that itsis always good
policy fer the defeated party to
let the Others do the talking for q
while, just as they will have to do
the legislating and administering
of the country for awhile. For
the same reason they think the
talk about reorganizing the Dem-
oeratic party, which has been in
|dulged III to a limited extent since
the election, premature ut this
time. The best policy for the
Democrats to adopt for awhile is
to keep Il careful watch on the
Republicans, show mp every blum
der they make, and do q whole
lot of thinking. It will be two
years before there is another Com
gressional election, and until then.
the Democrats will have no, OPP
portunity to get control of any
branch Of the National Govern
ment. The gentlemen who are
talking about holding conven-
tions. etc, for reorganization Of
the party ut this time, are doubt
less perfectly honest and wholly
unseifsh in their wishes for the
future welfare Of the party, but
if they persist they will surely be
suspected by many of being more
anxious to get the party reins in
their hands than Of really helping
the party. Party organizations,
so far as leaders and principle are
concerned, are things which gen
orally take care of themselves. as
has been demonstrated more than
once IN the history of the Demo-
cratic party, and doubtless will be
again. Party upheasals which are
genuine. usually start from the

Mack's Gate.

Among the most notable of re-
cent improvements in our town is
a neat fence erected by Mr.. Ma
son Mcbride in front Of his prop
erty on Main street-notable, not
so much on account of its ele-
CANT design and handsome APP
pearance as for the fact that the
gates are actually so hung as. to
open on the inside ! Incredible
as this may seem to the average
Opelousian, it is nevertheless q
fact A surprising fact ! "A
gratifying fact A fact upon
which we felicitate our young
friend, for it not only stamps
him as the possessor of that not
too common quality, hard com
mon sense, but as Il man who has
some regard for the feelings of
his fellow-creatures, and one who
would not wantonly rutfie them
by placing distractions on the
Sidewalk which sometimes amount
to barricade, and which occa-
sionally yield q fruitful crop of
skinned noses, barked chins, in
discriminate and widespread abuse
and lurid profanity. Why in the
name of common sense do not all
our people hang their gates on
the inside !? And why do not the
town authorities require them to
observe this simple, common
sense plan Away back yonder,
in the dim and distant past, when
Opelousas was in its infancy, a
regulation of that kind, tradition
tells us, was in force here, and
no one was permitted to obstruct
the public sidewalks with gates
hanging over or across them, but
nowadays such obstructions seem
to be the rule, and the old erdi-
nance, if it ever existed, is a dead
letter, never enforced. The
Board of Aldermen ought to re-
enact it and have it enforced.
But, the thoughtless reader
will say, ''this is whole lot of
talk for q very small matter"
It is just such trifes as this,
neighbor, that go to make up the
sum of human comfort and hap
piness-the gentle word, the
kindly smile, the cherry greeting,
and all those little social ameni-
ties of everyday life and as
some convenience to the general
public might thereby be secured,
or at least some inconvenience.
avoided, without imposing any
burden or the least hardship upon
any individual, regulation for
bidding the opening Of gates on
the sidewalks ought to be en-
forced.

The Southern Industrial COnven-
tiOn.
Philadelphia Times, Oct. 1s, 1900.

AAuieSs oSO' 10, lSVV'
The business men of the South
are becoming as practical as they
are energetic. They have count
less sources of undeveloped
wealth to invite not only the mon
ey of the capitalist but the labor
of the Wage-earner and they
have lately been organizing and
perfecting practical methods to
hasten their industrial and COM
mercial advancement.
The most effective agent now
employed in the South to develop
her industries and trade is the
Southern Industrial Convention,
and it has become q fixed institu-
tion. It's existence has been
brief, but it meets semi-annuaIly,
and each meeting of the body has
increased its members, Widened
its influence, and to-day it can
point to positive achievement in
quickening Southern develop
ment. su
The next meeting of the South
ern Industrial Convention will
open at New Orleans on the 4th
of December, and it promises to
be one of uncommon interest.
Official invitations from the Gov
ernor Of the State to the officials
and prominent business men of
the country have been issued, in
viting the cooperation and send
ing of delegations of business
men to personally investigate the
vast resources of the South.
Instructive addresses will be
delivered by thoroughly expe-
rienced men on the leading in
dustrial interests and the adj.
vancement of the Southern States,
and number of prominent men
from the North and South are
announced as speakers.
This industrial Convention
should attract not only the at
tention of our business men gen
orally in the North, but it should
especially command the attention
and cooperation of the business
men of Philadelphia. They have
been slow to reap the rich fruits
from the South which are offered
to them but now that our city
has re-established steamship con-
nections with the Southern ports.
our merchants and manufacturers
should follow it up to attain
closer connection with the South J;
and the best way to do that would
be to send a strong delegation,
not only from our city but from
other portions of the State, to at
tend the New Orleans Convention
on the 4th of December.
The South il to-day the most
inviting field of the world for le
gitimate employment of both cap
ital and labor. Philadelphia with,
her large surplus wealth and ex-
perienced and practical business
men should be in the front rank
of those who aid Southern de-
velopment and gather in the rich
fruits which that development
must bring to those who take the
lead in the great work Let Phil
adelphia and Pennsylvania both
be we'll represented in the South.
