INCONSISTENCY.

The advocates Of division are urg-
ing upon the people the advantages
Of small parishes in contrast with big
parishes. How inconsistent is this
plea now being made with the course
of the members Of the Legislature
from this parish, who insisted on the
line adopted which will give to the
proposed new parish $50 square miles
more than the area required by the
Constitution! They point to Acadia
with its GIG square miles Of territory,
Is not this an admission that the
members Of the Legislature used their
power to dismantle and rob the old
parish Of much more territory than
ought TO have been taken from her?
There are many within the limits Of
the mother parish who had expressed
d willingness to a division Of the par
ish, but who on being made aware Of
the arbitrary and unjust line adopted
in the enabling act are going to vote
against division for that reason.

ON TIE RUN.

Il now looks as if the anti-division-
lists had the opposition on the run.
changes have recently taken
place III the minds Of the voters, who
at one time had expressed a willing
ness to grant a division Of the parish,
bat who upon being made acquainted
with the arbitrary and ruinous lines
adopted in the enabling act are going
to vote against that act for that rea-
son. The diYisionists are growing
weaker day by day everywhere, and
We predict that while the vote will
be divided within the limits Of the
proposed new parish, it will be- almost
solid within the mother parish. Well
posted men like Sheriff Swords are
confidently predicting a majority
against division prediction which
is based upon a close examination OF
the registration and giving to the
divisionists the benefit Of the doubt
in every case. The campaign against
division is getting red hot, and will
be prosecuted without any let up until
Ahe day of election.
