We Need Water Works.

The burning, Monday night, of
the Gardner building, showed to
our people the absolute necessity
of water work system.
Our roads were so muddy and
slippery that only the truck of the
Hook and Ladder Company could
reach the FIRE. The hand pumps
did not come out and the attempt
to use the steam engine failed,
and the engine remained just out
of the bridge, about two blocks
from the fire, it being impossible
to reach the soft bank of the ba-
you. =,
In case of fire the people will
run madly in every direction, few
will show the GOODNESS and good
Judgment of taking the engines to
the FIRE.
That small house, being so tho
roughly soaked by the heavy rains
took nearly an hour to burn, and
only the wet surrounding kept the
fire from spreading, as the sparks
fell upon the other buildings in
heavy showers.
The only reasonable fire protec-
ton that this town could de-
pended upon at all times, would
be a water works system, and our
people should not delay too much
in taking the necessary steps in
that direction, because delay may
cost US much more than the water
works would.
We should bear in mind that on
account of the high insurance
rates, very little insurance is car
ried, and the town is thickly built
in frame buildings.
We are of the opinion that as
soon as the election is over, next
mouth, when the people go back
to the ordinary of business affairs,
it would be wise to agitste the wa
terwork, and to levy a small spe-
cial tax if necessary.

Why Should He Object.
Thibodeaux Sentinel.

Senator Gallery seems indig-
nant at the fact that some 300 me-
groes attended his meeting in
Shreveport, the other day, and
charges that the Democrats of
that thriving city put up job on
him and the other speakers who
addressed that meeting.
Truly the Senator is blessed
with a short memory, else he
would remember that he is fid-
ding for a mensgerie whose lead
ers, when they effected the cele-
brated ll-Herwig Combine
ton last January, in New Orleans,
specially invited the negro to join
them. All opposed to the Demo-
cratic party without distinction
of color, race, nativity or religion,
were extended a cordial invitation
to jump into their band wagon
and ride on to glory.
Again, if his memory were not
so defective, he would recall the
fact that some negroes-some
twenty five or thirty, in number
sat in the Alexandria convention
and participated in the nomination
of the ticket for which the one he
is now supporting was substituted,
and in the naming of the commit
tee which helped to put up his son
as a candidate for Governor.
If poor Sambo was good enough
for all this, why should our fasti-
dious Senator object to his quiet
presence at Republican meeting?
Again, the Senator is simply an
invited guest in the Republican
camp, if we are to believe his re-
peated denials of Republicanism
and professions of Democratic
faith does he not violate all rules
of propriety in thus publicly OBJ
jecting to and protesting against
the presence of other invited
guests at the Republican love-
feast?
1t would seem so; but, then, this
is only another one of Senator
Caffery's ways.

The Boilers Would Compromise.

We learn that while the investi-
eating committee was here Mon
day. that the boilers tried to com
promise matters in regard to the
appointment of commissioners, of
which there are two sets.
One set was appointed by M. l..
Broussard and J. B. Fournet du-
ring the day of the 18th inst,
these commissioners we're appoin-
ted without consulting Liable, the
chairman of the parish democra-
tic executive committee, and the
boilers boasted that they had gi-
ven the Democrats no representa-
ton at all.
But to complicate matters Gov
ernor Foster removed j. B. Four
net and appointed r. j. Bienvenu
Supervisor of election in his place.
This made Bienvenu President Of
the Board, he Immediately notified
Badon and Broussard of the fact
that he was appointed President
of the board, had qualified, and
called q meeting, Broussard refu.
sed to attend, but Bienvenu and
Badon held q meeting at 8 O'Clock
in the evening and appointed an.
other set of commissioners, entire.
ly disregsrding the boilers.
Now, can any man of reasonable
judgment dispute who are the le-
gal commissioners, notwithstand.

it reasonable to suppose that thu
boilers would be willing to com

missioners we're the legal one
when they did not give one single
commissioner when they sppoin
ted theirs? No, certainly not
They have q bad case and ar,
open for any compromise that
would benefit them.
The Democrats cannot afford
to discuss matters with the bolter,
unless they recognize them as {
faction and not boilers.
We maintain that the commits
sioners appointed by Bienvenr
and Bsbon are the legal ones, and
the boilers are also of this opinion
because they will not dare have
the court which is now in session
to pass upon their stupid claim.
