A corps of Civil engineers af-
ter working their way on foot survey
ing the route for the proposed La
fourche and Gulf Railroad last Sat-
urday spent the greater portion of
the day in town, stalking off the
line, as intended. The new road
will skirt the bayou in front of town
in fact be built on what once was a
levee and will continue on down.
The party of engineers contin
ued on down the bayou and will
work their way to Lockport sur
veying. 1t is their intention to
continue on until they reach a
point already surveyed by ano.
ther corps Of engineers who are
stalking out the route from Lock.
port to the Gulf of Mexico.
From the information we can
receive the route is an assured
fact and is no longer in doubt.
The roadway will be built and
operation is expected within
twelve months. AS the cars
will be equipped with their own
motors much expense and work
will be eliminated that usually at
tends the building of electric
lines, in overhead work. That
the venture will be a decided sue
cess goes without saying, and
every body cognlzant with the
country and its prosperity know
that it is an undertaking that
s9op!d baHe ene efss next e6ii6s sli1d % 90
is to build a similar line from
here through Houma to point
on the Gulf in the Parish of Ter
rebone. After these two lines
are completed we believe the pro
moters will find where there is
a chance to build elsewhere-from
here.

The Police Jury met in regular
session this week. Despite the
grinding season and the fact
that every body is busy and the
further fact that in past years
the body seldom could secured a
Quorum during the grinding sea
son, a meeting was held. The
body as usual sat two days, on
Wednesday afternoon and Thurs
day morning.
Routine business was transac-
ted and the different suits and
other matters in which the pa
rish is interested were also dis
cussed and acted upon. Provi
sion was made by the appoint
ment of a committee to secure
tenn porary quarters for the pa
rish officials while the court
house is being remodelled.
The builders will soon have to
cause the officials to move as the
interior work of demolishing will
soon start. The lower floor of
the Y. M. B. A. building will be
rented for the purpose of tenn
porary Offices and all records
will be transferred from the
Clerk and Recorders Offices, and
we presume the sheriff will have
his quarters in the same place.

it did when a few years ago the

The election returns last Tues
day gave the party in power, the
Republican party, a crushing de
feat. While success for Demo
cracy throughout the country
had been expected, as chronicled
in this paper last week, it was
never dreamed that the victory
would be as broad and sweeping
as it was.
Congress will be Democratic
by larger majority than it is
now Repu bllcan, the Democrats
having a working majority in the
House of some SO or more votes.
The Senate will not be changed
for some time, but it is possible
by next March that it will be a
pretty close vote, if not a majori
ty for Democracy, as several OF
the states in electing congress
men also elected Legislatures
that will elect Senators before
next March. Indiana will have
two Democratic Senators, instead
of one as to day, and it is repor-
ted that John w. Kern, late can
didate for vice president on the
Democratic ticket, will secure
the prize.
Ohio in electing a Democra-
tic Governor, Judson Harmon,al-
so elected a Democratic General
Assem- bly, and it will have a De-
mocratic Senator, to succeed Sc
nator Dick. New York will in all
proba bility have senator Demo
cratic, as in the EN- pire, State
the Democracy carried almost
every thing with the exception
of a few congress men.
Roosevelt was rendered a
crushing defeat in New York by
the victory of the opposing par
ty and it should be blow which
his pride and vanity should feel
to "a sufficient extent to relegate
him to the ranks of has beens. A
man of his StrenuouSEeSS ana
unmitigated gaul can not be
downed, being a lover of notorle-
ty, as soon as the good public
will forget The rebuke admins
tered, which they will do, he will
again edge his way to the centre
of the stage where the calcium
can pour forth it's strongest rays
on him and he will shout himself

Guion Academy, the town public
school, put on double header last
Saturday with the two teams from
the Dutcht ,wn School. The first
game was between the girls and
was an easy victory for the local
girls, being very much one sided
from beinning to end. The
score at the endof the game was 27
to 0 for Guion Academy, the locals
carrying off all the honors in this
game. The second game was be-
tween the boy teams of both schools.
One team played under the Spaul-
ding rules and the visitors under the
Intercollegiate rules, the visitors
were conceded the point and the
game played according to their
rules, with which the locals were
unfamiliar and the result was that
the visitors had it their way, but
otherwise it is said the result might
have been different. The score at
the end OF this game was DutchtoWn
%, Guion Academy II.
The Thibodaux College team for
the second time this season met
the Labadieville boys high school
team and for the second time ham
ded them a defeat. The game was
played on the college campus and
being on Sunday afternoon a large
crowd was out to witness the game.
The game was replete with good
plays, was played under the Spaul-
ding rules was exceedingly interest
ing. The score at the final was
19 to II in favor of the Thibodaux
College boys. The first game be-
tween these two teams was played
at Labadieville and as already
known the College boys were also
victorious,

Debt over ridden Louisiana
must again pay heavy for the
blunder of Governor Sanders
and the New Orleans bosses by
subjecting the state to the extra
heavy expense of calling the Gen
eral Assem- bly, in extra session.
Press reports stated after the
election, nothing being intimated
previously for reasons best
known to the politicians, that it
would be necessary to call an ex-
ira session in order to float the
seven million dollar bonds that
Berhrman and l. d. Moore failed
to negotiate.
Again Senator Sanders finding
it impossible to intrust the safe
ty Of the Democracy, but parti-
cularly his own political future to
Lieut.. Governor Lam Fremont,
for whom he and others smooth
ed over the steal of the Office, has
deemed it wis r to have an extra
session this month to elect
Judge Thornton of Rapides, sena
tor. What is the necessity of
going through the formality of
calling the General Assem- bly, in
session if only one name is to be
considered ? Why not let them
select a Senator of their own
choosing This should not be
difficult since the Governor as
sured US that he did not dOmi-
nate the -Legislatnrn--
Governor Sanders would like
TO go to Washington and may go
yet, but were it not for the fear
and distrust he has of Lam bre-
mont running his OWN (Sanders)
political future be would not
have found it necessary to send
Thornton. But why Thornton ?
Why would the Governor not say
gentlemen my appointment has
been a farce, my refusing the
honor you have conferred on me
was blunder made through po-
litical fear and necessity, neces-
sity to save my political hide, 80
l find it necessary to refuse the
gift which | accepted and ask
you to select a successor =? Why
pretend it is for the good of the
state to waste public moneys?

The big circus, Adam Fore
paugh & Sells Bros, has come
and gone, the much heraldet
and usually we'll advertised cir
Gus has paid US visitand served
to attract an army of people here
last Monday for the two elegant
and brilliant performances given
1t had been some seasons since
the town had had a really good
size tented village within it's cor
fines and the visit Of this aggrega
tion tended to prove what had al
ways been known previously,
that with the proper attraction
Thibodaux is absolutely the best
show town in the state. 1t has
more territory to draw from and
is ideally located TO draw, not on
ly from this parish but from
Terrebonne, Assumption, Ascen-
sion and ST. Mary.
The show had made no stop be
tween here and Lafay and
some people were here from ST.
Mary and even from Iberia. 1t
was a gala day for the town, as
every body was out. Automobiles
and conveyances of all descrip
tions brought people in from all
sections.
The two performances, the one
in the AFTERNOON and the one at
night, were we'll attended in fact
the tent was practically taxed to
its capacity, butas with the proven
bal circus there is always room
for aaother,if another is needed.
Still there was d seething mass
of humanity packed around the
three arenas who eagerly en-
joyed the two excellent perfor
mances given.
The show is said to have been
all that it was advertised to be,
and the menagerie was extensive
and rendered more interesting
by the attendance of lecturers
upon the audience who explained
everything, partic ularly thechar
of the different ami
mails. Special attention was de-
voted to the baby colony. Inth g
rings proper there were SO 8 e
feats and all acts were
neat and clean in every respect,
all turns being novel and presen
ted in high class manner. The

The Parish of Vermillion voted
a special 3 mill school tax for it's
public schools which now has six
mills per annum. This parish at
one time was considered the
worst in the state, Lafourche
coming next, in so far as public
schools were concerned. La.
fourche however has more pri.
vate schools in proportion to pop
ulation than any parish in the
state.
Good reports regarding thecane
crop and the results obtained by
the planters and tenants, as well
as the yield, reach here every
day. Prospects for a monster
crop with more sugar produced
than in six years is very promi.
sing unless the irevita BILE occurs.
There should be much money in
circulation after the grinding sea
son and those who have been in
arrears from year to year and
left owing the plantations
should be afforded ample chance,
with the season and conditions,
to pull out this season.

mary election shortly. The pre-
