of the fact that one Of the best
Grand Juries st. Landry has ever had
is just about to pass on it.
When we say Misrepresentation,
we mean just what the word implies,
inasfar As the article in the Con
aict," the official organ of the prohi-
bitionists in this State. charges that
a mob visited the residence of Rev.
"A. w. Turner in Opelousas, for the
purpose of doing him bodily harm.
because the Reverend gentleman had
been conspicuous in the prohibition

Why the Conflict should make

in che face of the existing facts, ant
furt ermore in the face Of the state
ment made in the same article thai
The author had visited 0pelousas anc
made a personal investigation.
The author, the Rev. Lambert, il
minister Of the Gospel, and it is Il

anything.
Then who is the informant?
Who is it that maliciously and con
trary TO truth told this good mar tina
the house Of a minister Of the Gospe
had been visited with intent to d
him harm2
This is a serious charge to max,
against a town-a charge that
minister Of the Gospel is not SAT,
within its precincts.
r. the article is not malicious, it il
misguided, and it behooyes Mr.. Lam
bert to give to the public his inform
ant, that a mob visited the house 0
Mr.. Turner. with the intention of do
ing him bodily harm. And when MI
Lambert has disclosed his informant
it is incumbent upon the people Of thi
city to protest vigorously against an.
of its citizens thus maliciously, wan

izenry.
The Clarion is not taking up TO
the prohibition violations Of this city
which are said to exist. They shout,

of the law.
The Editor Of the Clarion is ike
wise opposed TO the principles Of pro
hibition, because it is unAmerican
sumptuary, and Ineffective. The cur
for intemperance is spiritual, no
compulsory.
But what the Clarion objects most
