Samuel Douglas McEnery.

TIL sudden and entirely unexpected death
0f Senator McFncfy in New Orleans on TUESDAY
r~ecrnjnr came as a startling surprise to his
lnrasands Of friends throughout this state VINO
ned 10 idea whatever that his reported illness
rpreshadowed any sUch dire result.
After the adoption of the Constitution OF
1879, Louis A. Wilt was elected governor ana
Samuel Douglas McEncry, lieutenant governor
The death of Gov. Witt brought Gov. Mctnefy
into the gubernatoriai chair for Gov. Wits I'M
expired term of some three years. The state
was then Just recovering from the effects OF the
civil war and much interest was developed IN
the repair and improvement Of the leVee system
If the state, which had suffered immensely
from the civil war and from insufficient care
during the succeeding years. Gov. McEnery
became at once the 'leVee governor and called
several conventions of representative men from
those parts of the state profoundly interested IN
the levee system ard he thus laid the founda-
ton for the wonderful era of levee building that
is still prevailing in Louisiana. He was emphat-
IcaIly the ievee governor of the state. These
familiar with the existing conditions in 1850 and
familiar with the improvements that followed
during the McEnery regime, thoroughly appre-
eiate the good work done by the governor dur
ing his two terms.
Gov. McEncry and his fellow parishioners of
Ouachita Parish were largely identified with the
redemption Of the state from carpet bag rule
and the 'Ouachita Plan" was spoken of approv-
ingly in every part of the state, although some
of the parishes were very slow in throwing oil
the remnants of the old carpet bag control that
had held them down for twenty or more years.
Gov. McEnery's course made him one of the
most popular men in the state and Immediately
after the Inauguration of Gov. Nichols in 1888
Coy. McEnery was madea jsdge of the State
Supreme Court. His admirirg friends insisted
on his being a gubernatorial candidate again in
1892 and he entered in a primary as a candidate
against State Senator Foster and was defeated
by a narrow margin. In 1896, when there was
a severe struggle before the legislature between
the rival candidates for senatorial honors, Gov.
McEnery was called from the bench of the Su-
IRENE Court of the State and elected United
States Senator, his acceptance Of the honor
bringing peace into the divided ranks of the dem
ocratic party which scarcely any other candidate
at that time could have done. Since that time
Senator McEnery has been continually reelected
as his w successor and in his death the state
now mourns the loss of one of its most distin-
guished and best loved citizens, a genial, up
right, square dealing, honest man, whose men,
DRY will be treasured and revered by all who
have known him.

Good Roads and Railroads.

THE good roads idea is dominant in Louisiana
and there is every reason to believe that during
tie next twenty years we shall have made such
extraordinary progress in that direction as to be
beyond anything that we contemplate at the
present time. Gov. Sanders from the moment
of his Inauguration has been earnestly, consis-
It ntly and insistently the determined friend of
the good roads idea and as far as has lain in his
power he has done all that he could to further
the same. The bill now pending in Baton Rouge
directly relating to good roads. if duly passed,
as now seems probably. will enable any COM
munity whose topography may seem suitable
for good roads Improvement to organize a road
district for that purpose, provided there can be
secured the consent of the police jury of the
parish or parishes wherein the desired district
is located, the subject matter being submitted
to the people of the district, a majority in as
sessments and in numbers being necessary to
effect the organization. With this comes the
right of taxation and the power to issue bonds
under certain restrictions and the same to be
applied to the road district. Further than this,
the state will intervene with its convict laborers
anu lCS Sldle enSlHtcllu S uSpdl tlilSiiI VIII w DIS
much as it can to aid these various road districts
and probably to the extent of one-half of the
total value of the improvements involved.
Our own representative in the state legisla-
ture, Hon. Simon Leopold, has had this matter
in hand huring the last year and has devoted
himself most earnestly to it and there is now
every promise of his final success in securing
this desired legislation and constitutional amend
ment.
The Parish of Plaquemines seems to be an al
most hopeless country in which to develop a
great good roads system and at the same time
this parish has advantages possessed by few, or
none others in the way of material for good
road building. Our oyster industry in the Par
ish of Plaquemines is large one and promises
to grow greater all the time, While oyster

Conservative Germany
And Her Airship Line.

ENGLAND, or let us say Great
Britain, located on the North
west coast Of Europe and lying
out in the Atlantic. had to brave
the dangers of ocean travel from
the beginning Of its civilization,
which has bred up a race Of sail
ors that has made The Englisll
flag familiar everywhere On earth
and the English navy the great
est. The recreation Of the Ger
man Empire by Bismarck and its
enormous development by En-
peror William has been thought
to be an evidence Of a feeling OF
jealousy or rivalry existing be-
tween these two countries. BE
this as it may, Germany, con-
sentative as it may be, is un-
QuestionabIy progressive and this
we now see in the fact Of the
announcement Of an actual ar
ship service established there by
Count Zeppelin for the transport
tation Of passengers and express
freight between Friedrichafen
and Dusseldorf. Of course it is
practically impossible for this in
the beginning to be made indus
tria!ly successful but with state
aid, such as may be granted in
Germany for this purpose, it is
fair to believe that much good
will come from the experiments
hitherto made and from the ac-
tual service now inaugurated.
Of course there is quite a
chasm between transportation in
airships lighter than air, that is
in. those that are Of the dirigible
balloon ORDER, and those that'are
heavier than air end are made to
ascend biruli|;n from the ground
and descend in like manner all
under thorough control and with
adequate safety. Most wonder
ful progress has been made dur
ing the last year and now the
dirigible airship lighter than all
has become already an accom-
plished fact and is in service and
we shall hope that before another
year rolls around the heavier
than air ships will be c~oursine
through the air over our heads
and make it possible for any of
US, or all Of us to varify the eX-
periences Of Peter Wilkins in his
visit to the flying islanders that
we read with such interest in

John HalCaran.

"~ssAb
The death Of John Halcaran, which
occurred at his home in Jesuits' Benz
last Sunday, has wrought upon US the
loss Of a good and substantial citizen.
Born at Mauleon in the Department of
Bas Pyrenees. France. Mr.. Halcaran
and his younger brother Michel, came
to this country in the early seventies
and embarked in the mercantile bust
ness. The two brothers married daugh-
tiers of Celestin Escandre. one Of Jes-
uits, Bends pioneer merchants. Not
withstanding the death of Michel in
1880 and subsequently the death Of his
only son Mr.. Halcaran bore these. his
greatest misfortures. with character
istic courage.
As merchant Mr.. Halcaran met
with much success until he was COM
PEELED to abandon it by reason of the
disastrous crcvasses in ard about Jes-
uits' Bend. His natural bent being
along commercial lines. he soon became
engaged by the New Orleans firm of
Nicholas, Burke & Co. as their repre-
sentative in this parish. in which capa-
city h. enjoyed one OF the best client
elles here.
By dint Of energy and frugal methods
he leaves an estate unencumbered, his
farm being considered one of the finest
in the parish.
Possessed of al hospitable, charitable
ard generous nature. Mr.. Halca:an had
won the esteem and confidence of a
legion of friends throughout this par
ish. Beautifully devoted to his estim-
able wife and bound by strong ties to
his home, he spent the declining years
of his life in the full enjoyment of hap
piness and contentment. The esteem
and reverence in which he was held was
fully evinced by the large concourse of
sorrowing friends and neighbors who
followed his remains to their last SAD
rcstingplace and thus witnessed the
final chapter Of the terrestrial life of
him who went to his Maker with Christ
ian courage and with full faith.
