The brother members of the late
j. +. Bertrand decided to give an
entertainment for the benefit of
the orphans, and we are pleased to
say the success was beyond all ex-
pectations.
The two orders appointed COM
,mittees who went to work earnest
'ly, and they called upon our char

Gen. Jastremski's Platform.
Timcs-Democrat.

Timcs-Democrat.
Gen. Leon Jastremski, who an
nounced himself a candidate for
Governor of Louisiana, few day
ago, laid before the voters of the
State Friday the general prlnci-
Piles upon which he proposes to
make his canvass. What he then
said will meet with approval by
most Democrats in Louisiana, but
he was not explicit or clear enough
on certain matters in which the
public are vitality interested.
His declaration in favor of pri-
mary system will, we believe,
force all other candidates to de-
clare their confidence in the peo-
pie and their Willingness to sub
NIT their candidatures to the po-
pular vote, as is now done in o
majority of the Southern States.
Gen. Jastremski not only declares
in favor of the passage of a law
safeguarding and protecting pri-
mary elections, but he urges that
the Democratic State Central
Committee adopt the primary sys-
tenn for the nomination of all the
candidates of the Democratic par
ty-by which we understand that
he desires the gubernatorial nomi.
nation for which he is competing
settled by primary. Much op.
position was shown to this propo.
sition when it came before the
|Democratic committee some
months ago, but now that Gen
Jastresmki has declared for pri
maries, his competitors can no
oppose SO thoroughly democratic
and popular policy.
His declaration in regard to TIT
gubernatorial patronage, however
however, is not as explicit as i
should be. 1t is true that he pro
nounces in favor Of the election
by the people "of all public off
Gals whom it is practical to elect.
This is vague and insufficient i
the light of the fact that one @
the leading issues in the coming
campaign will be the centralizin
, tendencies of the State admins
, tration of Louisiana, the excessiv
patti onage enjoyed by the Cover
, nor aud its bad influences on on
: politics. Gen. Jastremski shout

Louisiana for a candidate to

IL has been the pleasure OIL our
editor to attend last week the joint
of the Louisiana and
Mississippi state press associa-
lions, which was held in New Or
leans.
This meeting was largely atten-
ded by the members of both states,
and after the routine business of
the convention, the reading of pa
pers and speeches. the pleasure
part of the meeting commenced,
by a boat excursion on one of the
fine tugs Of the Southern Pacific
Co., trolly ride, taking in the en-
tire city of New Orleans and COM
plimentary reception at Athlic
park.
Thursday morning the entire
party numbering over one hum
dred members of the press, &C
companied by Mr.. F. 8. Decker
and his daughter, Miss Grace, and
Mr.. j. M. Lee, Jr., of the South
ern Pacific Co.,. boarded special
train composed of four sieepers
and baggage car, and started for
the San Antonio excursion.
The first stop was made at the
Salt Mine where the whole party
got down the salt mines, many of
them seeing the mines for the
first time.
On returning to New Iberia to
proceed on the trip, a delegation
of the progressive citizens of that
town was at the railroad depot
with carriage enough to take the
whole party for a ride in that
growing town, and insisted on en-
tertaining the newspaper people
for short time, after the ride
was over they we're entertained al
the Attakapas club where refresh.
ments were served, and a hearty
welcomed extended to the press
members.
The party took late dinner al

rect to San Antonio, which wal
reached the next morning.
In San Antonio the party wa1
met by several members of thu
business men league who made i
their business to show to thu
strangers the most interesting fea
lures of the old historic city, ant
they are many, and every facilit.
was given to the visitors to see tn,
town including a trolly ride owe
the town.
In Houston the same cordial re
ception was rendered by the pee
pie Of that city and the few hour
spent in visiting that city wer
spent most agreeably.
| Beaumont was one of the point
that was of the greatest interes
for the party because they ha
heard 80 much of her wonderful
oil resources, and all wanted t.
visit the oil field. The train Pre-
ceeded 10 Gladys, the station i
the very heart of Spindle top, an
the party spent couple of hour
looking at the wonders, and sa
how the oil was gotten out of thos
hundreds Of wells and placed upo
the market. After visiting the o
i field g stop of several hours we
made in Beaumont where the cit
zeus took charge of the newspape
people, with rides in carriages an
trolleys, refreshments, music, sins
ing dancing and every attentio
