FIRE LIMITS.

We note that our people have
the disposition in this town to
build in wood instead of brick or
some other lire proof material. The
building OF long ranges of frame
buildings, touching one another
have q tsndancy to increase the
risk of FIRE and thereby increase
the insurance rates to q point that
is entirely 'prohibitive.
The difference between a brick
and frame building for store pur-
pose is not very large, and when
We consider, the decreased danger
against fire, the difference in the
rates of insurance, the durability
of the building, We realize that
brick is much cheaper even if the
fret cost 10 s'little more than wood.
We believe tho time is upon US
for our town authorities to make a
fire limit OF the business portion
of the town, and from now on, to
forbid the constuction of frame
buildings within csttain limits.
The danger Of are IN some Sec
tons OF town ID very great on ac-
count of the large number of
frame buildings touching one an
other and in these sections the in
surance rates are simply impossi-
bic. ranging from Ct to 81 per
cent. While II these buildings
were of brick the rates would be
from LIS to 2 pr cent The diff
ference in the price of insurance
for three or four years would pay
for the difference in the building
Besides, the baildings would he
more lasting and they would give
the town . moro Substantial ap-
pearapce. and considerably de-
crease the danger Of fire and re-
duce the rates Of insurance. enab-
ling our people 70 carry more in
and b better projected
against the disasters Of fire. With
the present high rates Of insurance
we believe that not one of our |
merchants is carrying one fourth
Of the insurance be should carry,
unless he 10 located in q brick
building where the rates are much |
lower.
Some of our people at first sight
will perhaps think il IL q hardship
On them but they will recognize
The fact that brick buildings are
not much more costly they are
more attractive, more lasting less
exposed to destruction BY fire, and
IRE insured ct mach less than
frame buildings.

Republican Meeting.

Last Sunday evening a Repub-
aican meeting was held at the
sCourt House which was very large
lily attended and full of enthusiasm.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Cab. Gardemal who made
'some very complimentary remarks
concerning Gen. Behsn, Republi-
scan candidate for Governor. Mr..
'Gardemal then called upon Mr..
Felix Bienvenu to preside over
this meeting, and Messrs. A. G..
.Bugg and d. Dugas as Vice Pres
tipents and Mr.. r. p. Halphen as
Secretary.
Gen. Behan was introduced, the
General is not an orator, but he
made some comparison of the con-
'dition of affairs as they were I'M
der the Cleveland and Mckinley
administrations and pointed out,
the disaster and ruin that followed
the Democratic system of free
trade under the Wilson bill, and
the revival of trade and business
land immense prosperity that fol-
lowed the adoption the ,Republi-
can system of protection. The
General made very favorable
impression here.
Mr.. Clarence s. Herbert was
the next speaker and he made
very good speech from his stand
point, and arraigned Blanchard
for lodging the Issues of the day
10y evadisg the questions most in
'teresting to the people, that of re-
.ducing the assessments andreduc-
ing taxation, that of reducing un-
necessary Offices paying fat sslar-
lies to pets of the politicians at the
expense of the overburdened tax
payers, and of reducing the ap-
pointive power Of the Governor,
and of destroying that internal
'machine that destroy the right of
people in the state of Louisiana.
He charges that frauds we're prsc-
ticed all over the state, and that
this condition of affairs will con-
tinue as long as Murphy Foster
remains the boss of this state and
controls the ring politicians.
. The last speaker was Mr.. L. P.
bryant who is we'll known here
and who has many good friends
in this parish, he spoke in French
and placed Blanchard 10 the atti-
tude of an old woman who always
boasted of her faded beauty. He
said Blanchard was evading the
discussion of all the issues of the
day and was entertaining his su-
'diences with the niger and recon-
struction stories of thirty and for
