LOUISIANA POLITICS.
Cade and Sholars Gracefully With
draw to Make Rooa for Dos,
Dr., the Erratic Sos OF
LouisAana's Able Senior senator
Cade WIN Run for Secre-
tary Of State.

After q cruel waste of time and
breath the Sugar-teats and their al
lies, the middle Of the-roaders, have
agreed on the Moses who is to lead
them from the wilderness of blasted
hopes and withered ambitions.
Don Caffery, Jr.. who is theoret-
ically a good Democrat, has been
selected to make the race for gov
ernor; ID. NJ. Sholars, the gentle
m,n Who was nominated for GOV
ernor by the Populists, is the can
didate for lieutenant-g governor;
Capt. Taylor Cade. has magnan,-
mously consented to accept the
portfolio of secretary of State; O.
H. Deshotels, a ST. Landry Popu-
list, will stand for auditor; Geo.
HassinEer, is the nominee for treas
urer; w. G. WHY, an ex-judge of
the supreme court, is the choice for
attorney general, and o. B. Staples
for superintendent of education.
Mr.. Caffery is a Palmer Buckner
single ard-gold- Democrat; Mr..
Sholars is a Sixteenth one-er; Mr..
Cade is not known to have any
well-developed ideas o. economic
questions; Mr.. Deshotels is mid
dle-of-the-roader of the Tom Watson
species; Mr.. Hsssinger is said to be
q straight Republican,; Judge Wyly
is an old-timer; Mr.. Staples is be-
lieved to be a Populist.
Had some concession been made
to the Prohibitionists, this ticket,
would, from 4 standpoint of variety !,
be a marvel of perfection. The
candidates on this ticket agree only
on one thing. That is blind and
unreasonable hatred for the Democ-
racy of Louisiana. They are I'M
able to show where the present ad-
ministration has failed in its duty
They do not offer a single argument
against the State government. They
have gathered all the enemies of the
Democratic party and out of these
discordant elements has emerged a
ticket that promises to wage q cam
paign of hate and vilifcation. 1,
is safe to say that it will meet with
the inglorious defeat that it sc
richly deserves.

MASS MEETING
In Lafayette, Thursday, March g.
Mr.. Heard, Gov. Poster. Sen.
atOr McEnerv and Hon.
n. r. BrOuSSard
Will Speak to the Democrats OF
Lafoyette-The Issues of the
Campaign Will be Thor
Oughly Discussed.

On Thursday, March 8, the big
guns of the Louisiana Democracy
will be in Lafayette. A meeting
will take place at the court house
where a number of distinguished
Democrats will tell the people why
they should stand by the Democrat
ic party.
In common with the other Demo-
Gratis of this parish we hope that
there will be great outpouring of
the people on that day.
The Gazette would suggest that
the local campaign committee-if
there is such an organization-take
steps to make the meeting a success 5
worthy of the Lafayette Democracy
Why not secure larger hall and
have a regular old-time gathering
of the ever-faithfu1 Democracy Of
Lafayette. We are sure the ladies
will be willing to do their share to-
ward having suitable decorations.
There is an abundance of flowers
and evergreens which can be pro-
cured if the local Democratic au-
tn orities will only exert themselves
a little bit. Arrangements should
be made for a band of music with
out which a political meeting is a
painfully dull affair.
The Gazette hopes that the visi
of the future governor of Louisiana
| and the other honored chieftain:
who will accompany him will bt
made an occasion of unusual i'm
portance. In go Lafayette gave

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
The Executive Committee Of the
Board of Directors Held a
Meeting In Lafayette
This Week
And Transacted Business Pre-.
paratOFy to the Establish
ment Of the Institution
as Early as Possible.

Is SaIc 10 say lnAt thugs ouSAs N"S
Industrial School are about to take
definite shape. The members of
the executive committee, Messrs.
Martin. Lee and Buchanan, we're
here this week. Prof. Stephens,
president elect of the institution was
here also. The main purpose OF
the committees meeting was to
consider the proposition to select a
site two or three acres from the one
originally chosen. We are informed
that the committee has decided to
accept the new site which is con-
siderably nearer town. 1t is part
of the property of Mrs. M. A. Girard
and Mr.. Crow Girard, who are per-
fectly willing that the change be
made if it is the desire of the au-
thorities intrusted with the affairs
of the school. When a change was
first proposed we were inclined to
doubt the wisdom of such a move,
but after visiting the two sites and
considering the advantages of each
we were soon convinced of the
superiority of the second site ove'
the one first offered. We are there
fore Of the opinion that the decision
of the committee is eminently
proper and calculated to rebound
to the welfare Of the school.
We understand that meeting o.
the Board will soon be called anc
measures will be taken looking te
the early commencement of thu
buildings. 1t is the intention te
put up the main building at cos'
of about S35, 900. There are onl,
SIS, 900 of available cash at thi
time, but the Legislature will b.
called upon to make up the differ
ence. The main building at Ru sto1
cost $1z, 900. 1t is believed tina
the laying of the cornerstone vii
take place sometime in April an
then the work will go on as rapid
as possible. It is the intention 0
President Stephens to have every
thing in readiness for the openin
of the next scholastic year.
Owing to the absence from thi
State of Gov. Foster, who has gon
to West Point, Miss, to visit a sic
daughter, the Board may not NEE
this week as intended -hrth
executive committee.
Prof. Stephens has just returne
from an extensive tour during whic
he visited several industrial institr
tions in Sc arch of inform ation whic
will be of great help to him in tn
preparation of his plans.
Prof. Stephens speaks interes
ingly OF the work which is bein
done in the various institution
which he recently visited. He VIZ
accompanied in his trip by tt
well-known New Orleans architec
: Mr.. Favrot, who visited this pla<
: a couple OF months ago. M
Favrot went along with the professs
: to thoroughly familiarize himse
! with the best and mos. model
r plans of constructing industri
E colleges.
Prof. Stephens expressed himse
{ as being very favorably impresst
' with the local outlook. To s.
n that he was PLEASED with this TOW
:. and the many evidences of goo
s feeling for the institution noticeab
Il on every hand lis to express

APPEALS FOR MEDIATION.
President Kruger Asks Mckinley to
Bring About Peace-Appeal
to Powers.

Pretoria, March 13.-President Kru-
Of the United States to stop the war.
This appeal has been transmitted
through Mr.. Adelbert S. Hay, the
American consul, and the representa-
tives of other powers at Pretoria have
been requested to urge on their gov
ernments joint action in the interests
of peace. Consul Hay as yet has re-
ceived no reply from the state depart
ment at Washington. President Kru-
ger, who is anxiously awaiting one,
believes the delay is due to the efforts
Of the United States government to
persuade Lord Salisbury to consent
to a cessation of hostilities. Pres
ident Kruger does not expect forcible
Intervention by the United States.
His appeal to President Mckinley Is
for mediation, and he relies on the
public sentiment of the American peo-
pie to prompt the president TO make
u favorable response.
The Hague, March 13. - 1t is learned
from a reliable source hat President
Kruger, through the consuls at Pre-
toria, has appealed for the interven-
ton of the great powers in the Trans
vaal war and has also appealed to the
governments of Belgium, Holland and
Switzerland.
Durham, March 13.-Tho Transvaal
having appealed to Germany for medi-
alton or intervention in the war with
Great Britain, Germany has replied
hat she declines to interfere, as she
is in no way concerned in the con
fict.
