The Democratic Rally.

Thursday was the day fixed fol
the grand rally in Thioodaux. All
necessary preparations had been made
for one OF the gan lest Democratic
rallies ever held here, and had tue
weather not Interfered the hosts Of the
unterrified Democracy would have
assembled here in such numbels az
had never been witnessed before.
But the old French proverb says
"L'hOmne propose, mais Dieu dis
pose;" and that is just what happened
last Thursday.
The day WAS ushered in with a
clustering wind and a pelting rain,
which lasted, with slight intermission,
throughout the day, and eliminated
with cold raw weather by night
with a freeze yesterday morning.
The weather was 80 bad, that even
denlzens Of the town were loath to
venture out.
Notwithstanding this iusupportable
state of the weather, when the meet
ing was called to order at the
appointed time, there were some four
or five hundred voters assembled in
the Opera House. eager to hear good
Old Democratic doctrine. Many Of
these voters had come on the Steamer
Louisiana all the way from the
Cut of and even from below that
point, and many from various points
between the Cut OFF and here.
The meeting was to order by Capt.
j. NJ. Walsh, chairman Of the Parish
Democratic Executive Committee,
who called the Hon. Andrew Price to
preside over the meeting and appoint.
ed Messrs Paul Meyer, John B.
Taylor and Francis l.. KuoblOch
secretaries.
Mr. Price presided with dignity
and ability, making appropriate
remarks in presenting each speakers
20 the audience.
The afternoon meeting was adj
dressed by Hon. ". W. Heard, Con-
gresslnan Il. +. Broussard and Sena-
tor s. D. McEnery, and their address
es were listened to with marked at.
tention and evident interest and sym
pathy. They were generouslJ and
repeatedly applauded.
Another meeting was held at s
o'c'ock which was fairly attended,
notwithstanding the bitter cold wind
and damp weather. 1t was addressed
by Gov. NJ. j. Foster and Judge
Gulon who made strong speeches.
Gov Foster took occasion to
answer Mr. ShOlars's attack on bis
title, and did it so successfully that he
sqneiched most Effectively the "pro
dizzy" from Ouachiia. He also An
swered and rcfut' d attacks made on
him and his administration by senator
Caffcry and Senator Catfery's Son
and by our distinguished fellow
citizen, Judge Beattie. The Govern.
or has given all these gentlemen
plenty of food for reflection, and we
wou d not be surprised to hear Sena-
tor Caffery and Others inquire :
"W here ain | at 2" as Senator did in
his opening speech.
Owing to the latenes of the house,
Mr.. W. s. Frazee, who was to speak
at the night meeting confined himself
to few remarks, expressive of his
pleasure at meeting the Democracy
Of Lafourche and returning his
sincere thanks for its ardent support
Of his cause IN the nominating con
ve ,tiOn.
Taken all and in all the meeting
was a decided success.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

trFom our reqntdfO0rreSp0nde
WASHINGTON, MAR. 2, 1900.
The Republican leaders of the
House are still shaking from the
fright given them by their
narrow escape from a Illuminating
defeat on the Porto Rico tariff bill.
The fgurative sack cloth and ashes
of Ash Wednesday came very near
to being real for them on that day.
They amended the hill by reducing
the tariff from 25 to Is per cent,
which Representative Berry aptIy
said merely changed the crime from
grand to petty larceny, and by limit
ing its operation to two years, which
was an Acknowledgement that the
whole principle of the bill was .
wrong one. aud then they could not
get the votes needed To pass it with
out resorting to every known form
of political bull doing and cajolrry.
Had the republicans of the House
voted their real sentiments, the bill
would have been defeated by moe
than a two thirds vote instead of
being passed by vote of 172 to 161
The Constitutional question inv.,v-
ed in this b,l' will not down It will
be heard when the bill is taken up
in the Senate, and it will be heard
all during the coming Presidential
campaign, and like Other great ques.
tions, will never De settled until it
is settled right,

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features, she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity
in her step, the ring Of her voice, her
enjoyment of life-all these are mag
nets which draw others to her side.
Wonderful and valuable as it Is, health
is not so difficult thing to obtain as
some discouraged ones think. Most
Of the troubles of women arise from
impure blood, impaired nutrition, low
vitality and general debility. Modern
science furnishes the most successful
ofremedies for this condition-namely
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION.
1t is palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative properties
Of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by US
from fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the extracts OF Malt and
Wild Cherry. Taken before meals it
improves the appetite, makes fat, re-
stores vitality, enriches the blood and
cures those weaknesses peculiar to the
sex, which are the seat Of their troub-
les. It is a blessing to Tired Wives,
Nursing Mothers and Girls growing
into womanhood. 1t colors the pale
faces and rounds out the hollow chests.
In word, it nourishes and develops
the entire body and brings happy sur
prises to feeble, hopeless and dis
couraged sufferers. DIR. y. j. BOyeS
says; have found it a preparation
of great merit. In a recent case a
patient gained nearly twenty pounds
in two months treatment in which
it was the principal remedial agent"
1t is the typical medicinal success of
our age, and a remedy which acts in
harmony with natures own efforts
and processes. Effective from the first
dose. "You cannot be disappointed
in it," Sold by all chemists here.

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 12.-Once

The new battle ship made an average

There was no authority for these stories except as to Macdonald, but the markets were depressed by them.
