POST PRIMARY CARPlNG.

Several OF the Democratic papers
OF this State-happily, very few,
be- it said &c the credit Of the press
have permitted themselves to
continue since the primary of Jan.
18th, 70 indulge in structures upon
the two late contestants for the
Gubernatorial nomination.
Some of the Sanders papers;
apparently forgetting that magma.
nimity in victory is one of the true
marks OF greatness, have not been
able to refrain from unkind filings
at Mr.. Wilkinson and Mr.. Sims,
as we'll as Congressman Broussard.
While others of the Wilkinson
persuasion, stung perhaps by what
they conceive to be the ungenerous
attitude of their thoughtless
co-eds, and forgetting that Mr..
Sanders is now the Democratic
standard bearer and as such is
entitled to their loyal support.
have permitted themselves to in.
dulgc - Ieralitory discussions that
were better let alone.
Whatever the merits Of the two
candidates in the eyes of their
admirers; whatever their failings
in the view of their opponents; the
democracy Of the State has chosen
between them. 1t should now be
the part Of one to display be.
coming modesty and thankfulness
in victory and that OF the other
as indicated by the loyal stand OF
MIR. Wilkinson-to evince a,cheer.
full acquiescence in the expressed
will OF the majority.
Poeans Of triumph or the grumo'
lings of disappointment might be
tasteful after contest with .
hostile party-but they are dis
cordantly out of place following a
friendly conference OF party men
(what else is primarily for the
selection OF a candidate to the
support Of whom all are pledged
ii advance.
1t now becomes the Democrats
OF Louisiana to drop useless dis
custom, to forget past differences.
to discard all recollection OF
personal preferences, and proceed
to demonstrate that, however
earnestly Democrats may differ as
to the availability or merits Of
candidates, they nevertheless know
how to display true democratic
virtue in abiding by the ascertain
ed will Of a Democratic majority.
and in respecting the sincerity OF
purpose of those good Democrats
who may have stood as opponents
to the winners.
We are no longer Sanders OF
Wilkinson factionists, but all
Democrats, pledged and ready to
support j. Y. Sanders, the Demo.
cratic nominee and rejoiced that
the Democracy of Louisiana num-
bers within its ranks such sterling
Democrats and excellent citizens
as Wilkinson, Broussard ana
Sims. Let all eyes now turn 70
the April election. Democrats
stand together.-Houma Courier.

The School Board of Avoyelies
claims the sum of S2253, which it
alleges is the percentage OF the
fines and forfeited bonds, retained
by the Sheriff of that parish as his
commission, since he went into
Office. This position of the board
is tina; the Sheriff is no. entitled to
this compensation and that Act
2O3 Of 1898 under which this re-
muneration is claimed is not valid
because it is in direct violation Of
Article 81 Of the State Constitu-
ton. which requires that the object
OF any law be fully set forth in its
title, and also contrary to Article
100 which fixes a limit to the COM
pensa.ion of Sheriffs in this State.
If this be the case and the School
Board should win out, there should
be considerable money restored to
the school boards throughout the
State.

THE ELECTION.

The second Democratic prim-
ary election was hello on Tuesday
last for the nomination of Coroner
and Representatives on the par
jsh ticket, and Police Juror OF the
s,ixti7 Ward, and for Justices of the
Peace of the Fifth and Eighth
Wards, this being the rem aiming
portion Of the ticket that / to be
run over after the nominee Of the
first primary had been declared.
In the race for Coroner, between
DIR. I. F. Frere and DR.. A. }.
Smith, the latter carried the par
ish by a majority OF 262. 1t seems
that the sentiment Of the people
Of St. Mary was in favor OF DR..
Smith being elected their Coro-
ner, and it is by their votes
he won, and we feel that they
could have made no better selec-
ticn, as DR.. Smith has held this
office before and he has filed 1t
TO the letter.
In the race for Representatives
Hon. =. Wm. Driebholz led the
ticket, Capt. r. w. Allen running
second. WITH Mr.. Geo. 7. Neef.er
third and Mr.. W. G. Bal1er last.
The decision Of the primary will
nominate the first three gentlemen
~ the regular Democratic n.mi-
nees to run in the general election
to be held in April.
The election Of these gentiemeA
to the Genera! Assembly is now
foregone conclusion, it is just i
matter OF them running against
The Republican candidates If any
there be, and as the vote cast III
the first and second Democratic
primaries have been very heavy,
it is hardly any use for any Re-
publican to run against them, and
in case there be any, it is the duty
of every one who took part in the
Democratic primaries to remain
true to their pledge and support
the men who have been recognized
by the Democrats as the Demo-
cratic candidates by virtue Of a
Democratic primary.
We feel that the Parish OF ST
Mary could not send three better
men to represent it at Baton
Rouge. Capt. Allen has made a
reputation in the House, he is
straight, firm and right to the
mark, and we know that Mr..
Dreibholz is Of the same stern,
unmovable disposition, and that
he can be relied Oh to do what is
right all the time, and as far
as Mr.. Veeder is concerned he
is man Of high culture and intel
ligence, and possessing the same
qualities as the above two gem
tlemen, the Parish of St. Mary
can expect the same from him.
In the race for Police Juror OF the
Sixth Ward between Messrs. John
X. Drackett and B. O'Brien. Mr..
Drackett won the nomination
over his opponent by a vote Of
252 to 80.
Mr.. G. Fl. Peterson, ST., won the
nomination over his opponent,
Mr.. Geo. Veuilmct, by a vote OF
116 to 50 for Justice OF the Peace
Of the Fifth ward.
In the race between Messrs. c.
H. Miller, B. w. Scott and q. w.
Wright for Justice OF the Peace of
of the Eighth Ward, Mr.. Miller
was elected by majority Of Sc
over the next highest candi-
date.

Says the Atchison Globe

Says the Atchison Globe "A
newspaper is always printed in a
rush. There is always som ething
in it that should be left out; some
thing left out that should have
been put in. 1t is sometimes too
quick TO Judge, and often too quick
to act, but with all its shortcom-
ings, there is more education in a
bright, newsy newspaper than
there is Q novel;"

A Lesson for Advertisers.

As an instance OF the value o.
newspaper advertising to increase
or force trade, the following facts
are remarkable. During Dec
ember the orders received by the
Douglas Boot and Shoe Company,
of Brocktou. Mass, fell Off in con-
sequence of the business depres-
sion following the panic. The
advertising manager of that large
concern mentioned the matter to
Governor Douglas, and asked his
advice, whether under the circum-
stances they should place the
usual amount Of advertising dur
ing January and February. which
are usually the sIowest months in
the year in the shoe business.
Governor Duglas at once ordered
an increase of 80 per cent in the
amount appropriated for adyertis-
ing, declaring that such an in
crease would help to overcome the
unfavOrabie business outlook.
There was considerable skeptIcism
about the result amongst the
principle employees OF the Douglas
(, Il. parry. But the result showed
almost an Immediate improve
ment in business. which is now
averaging more than last year dur
ing these unusually dull months.
Thus the business sagacity OF
Governor Douglas has overcome
the hard times. and his optimism
has proven an antidote to the Re-
publican panic.
The advertising manager OF
Governor Douglas explains the
phenomenon Of increased sales,
when by all the rules of business
there should have been a decrease,
as entirely produced by the in
creased advertising. Other adj
vertisers Of shoes were drawing in
their horns and many of their
former customers were induced to
patronlze the Douglas Shoe be-
cause it was more than ever
brought to their notice.
1t seems that persistent advertise

advertisement, and the profits OF

The business manager. OF news
papers should poin. cut these facts
to those who decrease or decline
to advertise at all when business
is dropping and show then that
persistent advertising pays ana
that increased advertising pays

New Orleans is rejoicing over

and this rejoicing seems TO arise
principally from the fact that the
