Not many years ago Jim Hogg
was the idol of the Texas
farmers. He it was who arrayed
the countrymen of the Lone Star
State against the railway cor
porations. He was the father of
the railroad commission: and
championed every cause which
was dear to the hearts of the
"plain people," He was of and
for the "people" under any and all
circumstances. He dressed like
a farmer, talked like a farmer,
chewed tobacco like a farmer,
smoked a cob-pipe, and it is even
said that he glued hayseed on
his hat and cOckleburs on his
coat-tail to show his contempt
for fashion. He ate green's with
a knife as a mute protest against
the conventionalities of society.
But Jim Hogg has changed.
He is no more the foe of organ
lied capital. He is now ranked
as millionaire and deals in oil
gushers, railroad and mining
stocks. He has grown weary of
The Lafayette gazette., 1902-03-01

rustic society and bewiskered
audiences. He has transferred
his sympathies from the man
with the hoe to the man with
bonds. He is now in London
where he is being liOnized by the
nobility, as will be seen by the
following cablegram from that
city:
'Ex-GOv. James s. HOgg of
Texas is being liOnized in London
socially tonight. He is the
guest of a dinner given by Wis
count Deerhurst.
Ambassador Choate and the
German am baSSadOr, Meter
Mich, were present at the dinner
and the Ex-Governor took to
dinner the Princess Dhuleep,
who was Lady Anne Coventry,
third daughter of the Earl of
Coventry.
1t is generally conceded that
pugilistic encounters are not the
most edifying occupation for our
senators, but isn't there just a
little bit of pharisaism in the
virtuous indignation expressed
by memb bers of the United States
Senate. The uppercut which
Senator Tillman administered to
his colleague and the Muldoonian
skill displayed by Senator Nc
Laurin, are hardly to be accepted
as very dignified form of sena-
toria debate, but is it not just
barely possible that infinitely
more redisgracefulth things have been
done on the floor of that august
body of which nothing has been
SAID by those who are now so
jealous of the good name of the
United States Senate? For ms
tance, the passage of laws no.
tOriOusly in the interest of cor
porations: the voting of sub
sides; the act of obtaining in
side' information by senator's
for purposes of speculation:
the making of com mbinatiOnS to
carry out private jobs: the hold
ing-u) of tariff measures for the
benefit of wealthy corporations:
and i is safe to say that senator's
have been guilty of other acts
nlucl more reprehenSible than
the title mix-up between the
bellioSe Representatives of South
CarOina.

''That interesting and bright
journal, Harlequin, Of New Or
leans, seems to think that Justice
Blanchard has a "cinch" on the
gubernatorial nomination for
1904, and that Broussard, Rob
ertson, Snyder, Frazee, Lawra-
son and all the other bright
minds of the State have not a
ghost of show. Suppose JUS
tice Blanchard hands are tied
by a pledge to support another
man for the nomination? Just
for instance, suppose this is the
case, how will it affect the re-
suit? Who, then, will get the
gubernatorial PLUMP Florida
Parishes.
In the event that the Caddo
iurist should find himself in such
an untoward predicament, the
gubernatorial plum should go to
the transcendent genius who
did the hand tying. If the
Louisiana Democray harbors a
Richelieu or Talleyrand the
State is entitled to his services.

eral administration is serious in
the proceedings instituted
against Pierpont Morgan's rail

wool over the eyes of the dear

think that the little scheme won't
work There is absolutely no
danger that the Republican party
will be so foolish as to kill the

To-day The Gazette issues the
first number of it's tenth volu me.
In other words, the paper is nine
years of age.
The Gazette enters upon it's
tenth year with confidence of in
creased prosperity. 1t has,
since it's foundation, enjoyed Il
fair measure of success as a
public journal. We believe it's
growth has been commensurate
with the advancement of the COM
munity, and we hope it has
merited, if it has not always re-
ceived, the appreciation of we'll
thinking people. 1t claims no
great credit for having contri
buted it's humble efforts toward
the success of worthy move
mentS, but it feels u reasonable
degree of pride that it has es-
pOused every cause which, in its
opinion, was calculated to bene-
fit the people.
During the last nine or ten
years Lafayette has forged to
the front in rapid strides. In
that period the people have
awakened to a realization of their
opportunities In a material
sense this community has more
than kept up with the pace of
progress. The establishment
here of cotton seed oil factory
by local capital was splendid be-
ginning. Later on New Orleans
capitalists availed themselves of
| the advantages afforded by this
section and built the sugar re-
finery which is easily one of the
largest manufacturing plants in
| the State. Then came the COM
press which has been such a
powerful factor in the increased
commercial prosperity of the
town. This compress, aided by
the two gins, has made Lafayette
the most important wagon
market in South Louisiana.
| Other evidences, which speak
eloquently of the marked prog
in recent years, are the large
number of new store buildings
and residences. The improved
quality of these structures may
be taken as an Indication of the
prosperity Of the people. Ex-
cepting Crowley, Lafayette has
put up more buildings in the
past five years than any other
town in this section of the State.
The erection by the town of a
modern system of waterwOrks
and electric lights was a long
step forward. Nothing has done
more to secure for this town it's
rightful position among the pro-
gressive communities of the
State than the building of these
improvements. Without them
the town might have logged
along in pol<y sort of way, but
it could never hope to take its
place in the front rank of up-to-
date municipalities. All this and
much more is to the credit of
Lafayette, but the eliminating
point in it's growth-one which
is not to be considered from the
standpoint of dollars and cents
but to be measured by a higher
Standard-waS reached when
the Industrial Institute reared
it's walls in mute but eloquent
tribute to that new spirit of
progress which had quickened
the slumbering intelligence of
the people and marked out for
them the path which leads to in
tellectual development. Henry
Watterson said that the idiOSyn-
Grassy of the nineteenth century
was liberty and that of the twen
tieth century is commerce. If
Lafayette is to have an idiosyn-
Grassy let it be education and let
it be given expression in a new
modern school building. The
past decade has been a notable
one in the history of the town,
but let it be only a forerunner of
what is to come.

The fact that Senators Iillman
and McLaurin had their fight
''On the eve of the arrival OF
Prince Henry is causing the
Times-Democrat a great deal of
worry. Why the misbehaviOr Of
the belligerent South CarOlinians
is peculiarly reprehensible be-
cause of the princes visit is diff
ficult to understand. The -evi-
dent desire of the TimeS-DemO-
crat to make a favorable impress
sion on the distinguished guest
is commendable and it's efforts
to have the American people be-
have themselves while the prince
is with them should be en-
couraged, but there is danger
that that journal will allow itself
to be carried away by the great
hubbub which is being made
over the visit of Emperor Will
liam's brother. The I'D. would
no doubt regret to see the
princes stay in America marred
by unseemly fisticuffs, and citi-
zens who are partial to violent
methods for the adjustment of
their differences should at least
wait until the German nobleman
has returned home. It is to be
hoped for the peace of mind of
the tbs editor that other citi-
zens will not so far forget them
selves as to emulate the illus
trious example of the South
Carolina statesmen who have Sc
lected such an inopportune mo-
ment ito fight it out.' In the
meantime it might be well for
the I'D. to print a list of the
things plain folk must not do lest
they give offense to the royal
guest

If reports are true the fair
and lovely Daughters of the
American Revolution in Illinois
have shown an expertness in the
subtle art of political wirepulling
that will put to blush the most
experienced politicians of the
sterner sex There were two
candidates for the Office Of re-
gent-Mrs. Wiles and Mrs.
Deere. BY some clever mani
pulation the manager of the
Deere forces, Mrs. Julia Dunn,
was induced to board the wrong
train, thereby making it impossi-
BILE for her to reach the place of
meeting in time to lead her
followers to victory. Those who
have opposed the claims of the
woman SuffragiStS might as well
surrender Internationally. The
Daughters of the Revolution
have proved the undoubted fit
ness of woman to enter politics.
While not commencing the
recent puglistic exhibition of the
South Carolina senator's the
New Orleans Item takes a rather
practical view of the affair and
refuses to fall into a fit of indigna-
tion. The Item says:
The Senate has no more right
fn q and nvNnof Soo0,n1
nifty than has the British House
of Commons or the French Leg
islature where nobody exhibits
the least dignity or respect for
his fellows AS for the breach
of order, why not let the police
and the magistrates court at
time that men have come to
and in the House. FOote, of
Mississippi and Benton, of Mis-
souri,, once had a scene of viO-
lence in the Senate. In the
House there have been frequent
personal collisions. Happily we
are more civilized than our faith
erS and keep our temperS under
better control and have more res
pect for adverse opinions, but still
ugly ebullitions of passion will
continue to show themselves, so
long as human nature is proud
and weak. A good, sound,
healthy blow upon the nose fre-
quently does world Of good
It stops prOfitless debate, brings
men to their senses, and better
than all, prevents the folly of
duelling and street piStOling.'

VETOED BY GOV. MONTAGUE.
Redistricting Bill Passed by Virginia
Legislature.

4 dispatch from Richmond. Va, last night
says: Governor Montague tonight sent a
message to the general assembly vetoins
the congressional reapportionment bill. The
veto occasioned little surprise. but a great
deal Of interest. The opponents of the bill
had expected the veto, and its advocates
feared 1t.
The governor bases his veto on the ground
that the reapportionment measure is in vio-
la ton of the state and federal law. and
inimical to the best interests of the COM
monwealth. The defeat of this bill. which
has aroused such intense opposition in the
first eighth and sixth districts. especially
the last named, was a great victory for
Representative Otey and Senators Daniel
and Glass. and they are naturally jubilant.
