Our political friends Of the Ba-
don faction held conference, or
caucus, as you may call it, Thurs
day, in order to bring all the can
didates of that faction to some un-
derstanding in order to have but
one candidate in the field. Some
of the candidates refused TO come
to this meeting. they were like the
"hawk and smeIled the powder"
they prefer to trust their cause to
the people than risk what they
seem to think a packed convention.
The faithful of the Badon fac
ton seem to be afraid to risk more
than one candidate, even when it
is stated that the Rees-Fournet
faction will not have any candi-
date, they do not seem to want to
trust this apparent inactivity and
are trying to rally all their forces
to the support of one candidate
who will be the choice of limi-
ted few, regardless of the masses
OF the voters.
The voters in general should
praise these candidates who refus-
ed to submit their cause to the
few leaders or bosses who want to
rule the destiny of this parish.
Let the candidates who have faith
in the people refuse to submit
their names to this little conven-
ventions and 60 to the people
boldly and tell to the voters II am
a candidate who stand on my own
merits who solicit your vote, and
who will render account to the
people," and net be the creation
of few and be made a victim of
these few leaders who divide the
Offices and share the profits with
the faithful followers.
Another attempt to bring the
candidates together will be made
on the 18th inst.

ut is an everyday occurrence with
me to hear men complain Of poorly
made cigars" said a well known tobac-
conist one day last week in discuss
Ing the matter with one of his patrons.
ut is not always because a cigar is
tndifferently or badly made hat the
wrapper curls up and comes off. Very
much oftener this m from the
cigar having been rolled by a makers
left hand and later smoked from the
hand of a right handed man.
"All cigarmakers must use both
hands equally well, and economy, both
in time and material, is the prevailing
rule in tobacco factories. When a
piece of tobacco is cut for the wrap
per, it is cut on the bias, and rolled
from left to right on the filler, and at
the same time and by the other hand.
the remaining pieces are used, being
necessarily rolled in the opposite way.
For this reason the man who holds a
cigar in his rent hand, which always
receives a few twists during the
course of a smoke, rubs the wrapper
the wrong way, and easily enough
1t becomes Observation-Disclosures

Natures Wise Methods.

Statistics of population show that
after long and severe wars, in which
many men are killed and the male
part of a country's population is
greatly decreased, there is for several
years a preponderating birth of male
children until the normal proportion
between the is restored. This
has been noted after the thirty years
war in Germany, after the N~apoleonic
wars in France, and, even in more
recent times, after the siege of Paris.
New York city has sixty-two thea
tiers.
Some get-rich-quick schemes have
highway robbery beat to a s%tandstill.

He does not offer any suggestion how
the war may be stopped when the gen.

course, is a minor matter. Secretary
Bonaparte waived his usual method,

Louisianian. He told him hat in pre-

persons killed was so much greater
that that of the bad characters, that
he feared the scheme scarcely would
