The Catholic church is almost a
unit in its support of the Democratic
nominee. The church realizes that
Republicanism is the parent of all the
trouble between capital and labor,
and, as a friend Of the poor, will by
her vote endeavor to ameliorize the
poor mans lot. Such staunch citi-
zens and patriots as Cardinal Glib
bons, of Baltimore, Archbishop Cor
rigan of New York, Archbishop
Ryan, Of Philadelphia and Archbishop
KAN, of St. Louis, have already en-
dorsed Bryan and Stevenson. So far
but one Catholic journal in the whole
United States, the American Herald,
of New York, supports '~sImperialism
and Trusts. Catholic Propagation,

You know the exact situation Of. polit-

a gang of negroes right here in our

six months we will be free again-to dc

whites worse than they treated u.s."
Now what do you think of such re-

have to do over what we have done,
unless the whites turn out in full force
and get all the white voters out for me

The action of certain members OF
the Populist State Central Committee,
endorsing the Mckinley administra-
ton is about the checklist proceeding
we know of in politics. Hardy Brian,
b. w. Bailey and a few others who
took part in this farce are SO crooked
that they can't sleep straight. The
Populists in this parish, to a man,
repudiate and condemn this act OF
treachery. They will vote for Bryan
and Bob Broussard.
The resolutions and preamble are
as follows: Whereas, We consider
the paramount issue to Louisiana cot
ton planters, mostly populists, is the
maintenance of 10-cent cotton, which
alone was made possible by Republi-
can politics, and that they should join
their Republican brethren, the sugar
and lice planters and the lumber men,
in.having Louisiana vote for her IN
~terests /; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we endorse the
congressional and electoral ticket OF
the Republican party and request all
our friends to vote for Mckinley"
"Ten cent cotton and Mckinley. .
Well, If all the fool theories this is 9
corker. When Mckinley is next
heard from he will no doubt contro
the elements, and claim credit for al
the good works Of the Almighty. L
Mckinley is running the price Of cot
ton this year why has the price tum'
So a thousand in seed. Why have
rice and sugar fallen in price? Tel
us oh, ye wise men of VIM?

Mr.. Editor Please print the fol-
lowing, to the end that fairness be
done. Last Sunday while a Repub-
lican mass meeting and barbecue was
in progress here in the interest OF Mr..
williams; one of the speakers having
yehemently exclaimed that the Dem
ocrstic party, was the party OF the
Negro, standing in conversation with
the Hon. Lastie Broussard, l stated
that the charge was absurd.
Mr.. Taylor Cade, who stood near,
hearing my statement, replied: "By-
God, it is true, the Democratic party
has always been the party OF the
Negro" To. which, coming from
lsuch an unusual source, | rejoined:
Mr.. Cade, was such your opinion in
the Beattie-P Price contest in the year
1894? To which Cade's answer came
in bitter tone, Eyes, by God it was,'
Said | to him, ''in my possession is a
letter written by you as a supporter
of MI. Price in 1894, to Mr.. SEVERN
Leblanc, a gentleman of much politi-
cal prominence here, and if he Cade
would wait until l could go to my
home he would be convinced that his
opinions about his party in '94, were
in direct antagonism to his statements
to-day in reference to the Democracy.
/ Cade promised to await my return
with the letter, but did not do SO; he
left the corner where the incident oc-
Cured, stating to the bystanders as
he left, a message for me to bring the
letter to the speakers stand and there
he would read it publicly and ex.
plain it. Well, according to promise,
/ produced the letter to Mr. Cade al
the exact spot where the discussion
ensued he read and returned it te
me with this sole statement: "Yor
have come here for the purpose of in
terfering with our meeting, I'll no
read the letter to the audience a.
promised, but will discuss it with you
after the meeting" It was thel
- in the afternoon, Cade had ae
knowledged the letter, my statements
were accordingly proven, and ] wen
home to dine there was nothing t
discuss I refused TO meet him ant
discuss the letter on the street lat
that afternoon, but promised the gen
tleman that his opportunity to discus
would not be denied. I did not kno,
he was belligerent. He claims | too
water, l did, at home out OF a pitche
but not at his suggestion, persuasion
. or intimidation. Had he taken an,
Water perhaps and that only, b
, doubtless would not have forgotte
how well he tutored some Of our Vel

short a time. Every man and boy along
the route of the parade seemed to be oe-
cupied industriously in loading and firing
pistols of all kinds. They didn't look at
the show, but kept their guns hot with
incessant yolleys. The men in the process
sion seemed to be seized with the pistol
mania also. The fambeau clubs shot
skyrockets so fast that the faces of the
men were black with powder. They ex-
ploded so many cannon CRACKERS that
their trail was liz the road up Vesuyius.
With roman candles they shot holes in
flags and streamers. and the windows of
hotels. crowded with watching faces,
seemed TO be a favorite target.
The Colorado band of Indians, the
Montana Miners band. the Cowboy band
from Idaho, the rough .iders and cattle

fire. The rosaries of electric lights,
stretched in illumination across the down
