CAFFERY is ANSWERED.

The questionable Caffery in
cident is closed so far as the minds
Of reasonable men are concerned
The answer Of j. Wofford San
ders was given out today.
The document stands for itself.
Snffice to say that it demolishes
the allegations made by Donelson
Caffery, while it leaves a possi-
bility that Mr. Caffery may have
been imposed upon by those in
whom he trusted for testimony,
yet it destroys his further useful
ness as an aid of Theodore S. Will
klnson or to any man. His rash
ness, his venom, his carelessness
in dealing with the good name of
others IS so apparent that he must
forever stand before the electorate
of this commonwealth a discredit-
ed and dishonored partisan.
The noble though hackneyed
phrases of England's poet were
never more fittingly applied: He
who steals my purse, steals trash,
steals something, nothing twas
mine, It's his and has been slave
to thousands, but he who filches
from me my good name robs me
Of that which not enriches him and
leaves me poor indeed. y
No man in all Louisiana, in ali
the South, has ever been subjected
to such a fiery trial as has Jared
Y. Sanders. Calumny, cowardly
calumny, armed with the whispers
and sneers of the pharisee and the :
hypocrite, has stalked him all his
way. The innocence Of good wo-
men has been dragged into the
muck of politics for bitter par
5lsians to hide their enmity behind.
The whole power of a great admin
stratlon has been thrown against
llm and every whimpering syco-
ohant of the groveling tribe that
seeks the foot of the throne has
'een whipped and spurred to snap
md snarl about his heels.
Jared Y. Sanders has had his
aults. Neither he nor his friends
would claim that he is more THAR

CITY CANAL.

| One question that is aggitating
the mindh of many who are inter
tested into the City canal is what
are the intentions as regards the
final section that is yet to be dug.
1t has been whispered about that
there is possibility that an eff
fort will be made to divert the
route and take the canal southerly
where it would tap the Bayou.
1t is reported that the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company will aid
in digging such a section for the
sake of the dirt that is to be taken
out and it is only day or two
ago that representatives Of that
Corporation were here and looked
over the ground. just what con
|clusion was arrived at is not vet
made public.
There is a difference of opinion
as to the proposition to divert the
canal. Not few Of the citizens
declare that they will step in and
prevent the consumation of any
such plan if attempted. They
state that they voted to have the
canal brought to the basin and
that is what the tax was levied
for and what they will prevent the
use OF any if the money 50 voted
in carrying out any other plan,
however much it might be to the
advantage of the City to have |
connection with the bayou.
1t is also stated that those who |
propose he connection with the |
Bayou are not figuring on divert |
ng the canal but are planning
movement that will result in
the canal at some point |
md carrying the branch south
ward and into the Bayou. IF this
$ done there will be no objection
ay those who are opposed to the
Iiverting of the present canal.
hey are willing to give all the aid
ecessary to building the connect
1g link between the canal as orr
lnally located and the Bayou but !
hey insist that the original plans
e carried out.
Not few of the people declare Q
lat they would rather pay tax /
nd larger one il necessary to t
ring the canal through the center I
the City than to pay one for T
king the water below the City. u
hey do not believe that the City Ec
ould be benefited by takines the
nal outside of the city lirx..es..tq n
believe that if the traffiS rs bSTfn
brought through the cen eof Il
e City it would be of greaM ,td- lm
t. III,
1t is not believed that the matter Il
IN shape yet to be presented for o.
consideration but the matter W
apt to come up FOR discussion at e
most any time. 1t is stated that tr
rights-of-way for the proposed g
alich to the Bayou have nearly OF

For unique methods of advertls-
ing, Messrs. Blanchet & Fagot
have adopted those which seem &c
be attracting a great deal of at
tention. The windows of their
big store are taken up with plans
that interest the public and draw
the trade. One of these is the
proposal to give away full dozen
OF nicely dressed dolls, six on
Christmas and six on New Years.
This is intensely interesting to the
little ones. But in another win
dow is a handsome lamp which is
for sale on strange and
startling plan. Everyday that
the lamp remains in the store the
price Is reduced so cents and if
it is not solduntil the price reaches
nothing it will be given away. The
question is who will get it and at
what price? Another window is
tiled with. fine presents that all
Df the customers have a chance to
get. No wonder the house is do

Another scare and the visitation
of the prowler stirred up the
East End again last night. This
time the prowler was met face to
face at door way and according
to the police he was seen jump
ing fence and shot at but he es
capped and is still at large.
These events are becoming so
numerous that the people are al
most in arms or they are advising
the formation of a vigilance com
nttee to take matters in their own
hands and either capture the au-
,hor of all the trouble or run him
n them out of the City. Those
whose houses have not been en-
cred but who have seen foot
racks in their yards and on their
.aileries are as anxious to be rid
t the prowler as any one Of those
whose house have been entered
or they know not when their turn
viii come.
According to the information OBJ |
