est opponents or reform, Dy forcing
 them to the wall upon issues that
 have no connection with the move,
 ment; but getting them out of the
 way just the same. And then
 when the real issue comes to the
 supreme test, the proposed reform
 is defeated by the very weakness oi
 the reform forces. Those who
 have been their strongest adher-
 ents have either lost interest or
 have entirely disappeared.
 Another strong element against
 the reform of known evils is the
 business pressure which can and is
 always brought to bear upon many
 in every community who reallysym pathize in the movement; but can be made to feel in business way heavy financial loss, should they stand openly for their principles. The recently published exposures of ring rule and corruption in Minneapolis, Pittsburg, Philadel- phia St. Louis and other cities, have developed and presented that very clearly. Some of the greatest and heaviest business houses stood openly with the ring element. They felt they could not stand the losses to which they would be sub- iect should they not do so. Others whose social and business relations were in the direction of the reform tide of the issue, while giving that 'ide open support and money con .ributions, have been afterward ound 10 have contributed far more heavily to the campaign fund of he ring They felt they could not 'afely make open antagonism to he reform movement; but they ecretly appeased the "boss" with | iberal cash contributions, and | ledged against possible annoyance nd loss (by a thousand ways in which ringsters are always expert n manipulation should the ring ucceed in maintaining it's hold.
 In the history of ring rule in the reat cities it has frequently oc- urred that while the reform forces ave succeeded in carrying the ity at one election they would )se 1t at the next; and, after acation of two years, the same old lng returned to power, more hun ry, rapacious and corrupt than yer. The aroused reform spirit aving won out, laid down and -ent to sleep. The anti-reform lement, although defeated, were l municipal politics as a matter [ business; and they devoted the yo years of their enforced isola- on from office to a stupendous fort to regain power, while those ho had formerly routed them lpinely rested upon their laurels hen they should have bent every lergy, to preparation for the re- lrn assault.

Last Monday negro by the
name of Willie Hardy, surrender
ed to the city marshal of Frank
lin, Mr.. Charles Pecot, charging
himself with the commission of
the crime of murder. His story
is that he killed another negro,
near Patterson, in this Parish, in
the year 1894, without provoca-
tior, and that he gave himself up
on count of a remorse of con-
science. This is so unusual with
the negroes of the Southern States
that it is dihiult to believe; but
the truth or falsity of his self-ac-
cusation could easily be establish
ed with a little inquiry. 1t is a
natural inclination of nearly all
persons to shield themselves from
prosecution, and with the colored
people as a rule, to shield all 9TH
ers of their race; this is, there
fore, a great exception to even the
most general of rules. The crime
of murder is imprescriptable, as is
all other crimes, when the accused
is fugitive from justice.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. 1t has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of Group

This time no case has ever been reported

the child becomes hoaase or even as soon
as the croupy cough appears. it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is pleasant to take,
many children like it. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substances and
may be given as confidently to baby as

At the last meeting of the towr
council, it was decided that 8
further purchase of four thousand
barrels of oyster shells would be
made, for distribution upon the
streets of the town, some few o1
which are needed at the present
time. We believe this to be the
most effective way of maintaining
the streets-by putting them on as
fast as the low places show them
selves; by this means the road
bed is never allowed to get out OF
order, and the cost of maintenance
is actually much less in the long
run, and which is. the basis upon
which municipal corporations
ought always to calculate. because
public corporations of this kind
are organized for perpetual ex-
istence.

morrow as some Of the best and

to the extent OF liberal patronage,

Mass Meeting at Morgan City,

On last Thursday, a mass meet
ing was held at Morgan City to
endorse the candidacy of Hon. j.
Y. Sanders for Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Louisiana. The assem-
bly, was the largest ever seen be-
fore in our sister town. Not only
were the entire citizenship of Nor
gan City assembled there, but the
trains and excursion boats
brought from all portions of our
parish, hundreds of friends and
admirers, all eager to do honor to
the man and to the occasion. The
enthusiasm of the multitude that
greeted Mr.. Sanders, voiced with
the emphasis of truth the esteem
in which he is held by his fellow
citizens.
The compliment bestowed on
him by his people that day was
genuine; 1t was an honor which
only true merit deserves: and the
faithful services of Mr.. Sanders to
his party and his State show that
he fully merits the good will and
confidence of the people OF his
native parish.
The Mass Meeting was called to
order by that stalwart Democrat
of the 9th Ward, Hon. E. VIM.
Dreibholz, and Mr.. G. R. Brown
ell, of Morgan City presided and
introduced the speakers. Elo-
quent addresses were made by
Judge Blanchard, Senator Foster,
j udge Ried, Hon. J. Y. Sacders
and others. The meeting was a
grand success; it's personel show
ed that-the democrats of st.
Mary are united, ready and eager
for the fray; and that thev will
vote as a unit for Blanchard and
Sanders.
