Flower has been chosen by the Citizens League of New Or leans to make the race f.r mayor. Now 'let the Regulars put upla good man, with a clean record, and elect him. His Excellency, Governor Foster, has appointed Mr. B. B. Parham of . ow.ncordaia, a member of the Fifth District L'evee Board, to succeed Mr.,W. F. Ogden, who resigned sometime ago. Pharr has been defined as a "con glomerated concatenation of com blne, and a heterogeneous mass of fusion. With more whiskers than a mountanions billy goat, and less po itical common suense than a March uabbit." The New Orleans Item thinks that it is making lots of votes for its Pharr when it says that Kellogg and Cage are helping to elect Foster. But this is about on the same truth tfl ground in which it states every thing else. -" Messrs.

T can candidate for governor is bearing its legitimate fruit in riots and blood shed. 1H, has not scrupled to advise his followers to resort to force to carry the election. When we consider that _ his followers are ignorant negroes chiefly, we cannot be surprised if they attempt to follow his advice. In such an event, it does not require a prophet to foretell the fearful results. For fif teen years th,. white and black people of this parish, and we may say of this State, have lived in the utmost har mony, and the races have pros pered. The facilities for education ex tended to the colored people and paid for by the whites, have been unsur passed under similar conditions. We have had disastrous overflows, and have been reduced almost to pauper ism by low prices for our staple in which c:ases, both races have suffered alike. We cannot forget that in 1893, oar galladt and wholesouled governor came promptly at our call for relief and liberally supplied the needs of the colored people, thrown upon the com munity without the menus of living. The colored people left to themselves appreciate this treatment arid cultivate the most friendly relations with the whites. Shall these relations be dis tnrbedP The efforts of leading white iepublicans, from the candidate for governor down, to arouse the negroes to try to grasp the reins and usurp con trol of our State and local affairs we - apprehend is not entirely without suc cess. There are those among the negroes who, like the ,'walking dele gate" of the miners, are always ready to breed discontent in order that they may reap some private advantage through the ignorance and credulity of the honest and industrious laborer. IWe are notentirely free from such pests here, but fortunately they are but few and they are well known. To all such we say "beware." The white and colored people are friends. Their in terests are identical. There is no cause for disagreement. and those who seek to come between and cause estrange ment and race antagonism, are "sowing the wind" and will surely "reap the whirlwind." H e have not forgotten the times dur ing the seventy's when the Republicans dominated our State and parish politics, and we have not forgotten the load of debt they piled upon; us and the heavy taxes they forced us to pay. The crimes and corruption that manifested themselves everywhere under their rule we have not forgotten, and we do not propose to retrace our steps and go back under such vile methods. The white people of this State will not ab dicate in favor of the negroes and his white boss, all the Pharrs, the War. moths, the Kelloggs and the "SugAr Teats' to the contrary notwithstand ing. The benign rule of the Democratic party must and will continue in defi ance of the unholy alliance of the Pharrs, the Adamses and the Gunbys. The white people of this parish are not less determined now than they were fifteen years ago to conduct their own affairs. We speak that which we do know; will the *"walking delegate" please take notice. Congressional Election in the Fifth District. The Picayune says that "informa tion received from Governor Foster, regard to the action of the House of Representatives in declaring void the congressional election in thile Fifth Dis trict of Louisiana, is to the effect that he will not order the new election to be held at the same time with the State election. This is plainly in accordance with the provisions of law separating State and Federal elections. When elections for Congressmen were held at the same time that State officials were voted for, opportunity was given to the Federal officials to fill the polling places and dominate the elections with United States deputy: marshals, while on some occasions Federal soldiers were on duty at the polling place under arms. So repugnant to the principles of a repub lican government was that sort of thing that laws were enacted carefully separating the State from the Federal elections. In view of these facts, the Governor will not order the choosing of a Con gressman in the Fifth District to be done at the time of the State election, but will issue a call for a special elec. tron to be held at some other time, and with as little delay as possible under the circumstances." Nearly three million bushels of coal left Pittsburg last week for the South. ! _ The Police Jury of East Baton Rouge appropriated $500 to be used by the board of heath in the suppres sion of small pox. The white people of St. James, Ibervylle, Assumption, Ascension and St. John have efieted a fusion on local issues ~d candidates, each side, Democrate asad Republi cans taking balf of the cfilces and endorsing the State ticket headei by Murphy J. Foster. 4 STILL THE DEMOCRATIC CAN DIDATE. g Immediately" after the decision of l the committee on the Boatner-Benoit e contested election case, Col. Boat ner announced that lihe was a candi date for re-election, and would can vass the district again. As the Democracy of the Fifth District is a unit in support of Mr. Boatner, he is still the Democratic nominee. f The action of the committee in s declaring his seat vacant does not rescind the action of the convention that nominated him. All that is necessary is for the Governor to issue a proclamation ordering a new election in the Fifth Congressional District to fill the vacancy caused by the decision of the elections com mittee. It is useless to predict the final triumph of our distinguished and r talented congressman. The people f of the entire district, in fact, of the State, are up in arms against the high banded and partisan ruling of the elections committee, and are de termined to re-elect their nominee again. A mere contrast of the to men is enough to cause any cultured man to turn against Benoit irrespec tive of affiliation. Col. Boatner is an educated, refined, high toned, brainy man, occupying the first rank in the councils of the nation, honored and respected by Congressmen and Senators of the entire Union. He reflects credit upon his native State, and Louisiana has high caste in the Congress of the United States be cause C. J. Boatner is there to rep resent' her. On the other hand, Benoit is an uneducated, unknown man, of very obscure birth and obscure surround ings. They say he lived for a long time in a small boat on the Ouachita river, or upon the banks of the river, and followed the most humble pur suits. These circumstances would not work against him, if he could rise above them, but the man has no force of character, none of that indi viduality and personal magnetism which often raises men from oblivion to fame. And it was the considera tion of these circumstances that ir duced some Populists even of high standing to vote for Col. Boatner at thelast election and against Benoit. Uphold the honor of the Fifth District; send back a man to Con gress who reflects in his person the high character of her citizens. Send back a man of education, caste, in dividuality-a man true to the prin ciples of his party, and fearless in the expression of them, whatever may be the consequences to him per sonally. Vote for Boatner, the choice of the Democratic party. Let no insignificant reason or narrow prejudice bias your mind; for remem. ber, you are not spiting Boatner by opposing him, you are working against your party and its interests. There are thousands of men all over this great State who are sunp. porting Foster because he is the nominee of the Democratic party. East Carroll has never been, until now, a supporter of Governor Foster; but as he is the duly nominated standard bearer of the Democratic party, it becomes the duty of ever true Democrat who has the good of his party at heart to extend every effort in behalf, not of Foster per. sonally, but of the great Democratic party. The case of Col. Boatner's is a parallel one. There are Democrats in East Carroll who are opposed to him for some reasons; but whether their reasons are great or small, it is their duty to rally to his supporL, not because it is Mr Boatner per sonally, but because Mr. Boatner is the choice of the Democrats for Congress. As you expect to do all in your power to elect Murphy J. Foster Governor of Louisiana, so do ye likewise by Col. Boatner. In doing so you uphold your party principles and those of your fathers'; you stand by your faith, and you preserve those institutions which have been handed down to us even at the cost of human life. Remember, when you vote against either Foster or Boatner merely from personal spite, you prostitute your individuality and turu your back upon the welfare of yourself and your party. The compensation of U. S. district attorneys and U. S. marshals for Louisiana have been increased. No change is made in the pay of the dis trict attorney of the eastern district, which remains at $3000. In the western district the pay has been in creased from $2000 to $2500. The marsahal's salary of the eastern dis trict is increased from $2500 to $3000, and in the western district from $2000 to $3000. Each are allowed one ehief deputy at $1200. i S- ome Views Regarding Senator N. C. Blanchard. f Some admirer of Hon. N. C. , Blanchard, writting to the Vicks burg Commercial-Herald, says of this distinguished son ofNorth Louis iana: Dear Sir:-Knowing your friend e ship for lion. N. C. Blanchard, our a junior United States Senator, whose term of office will expire in a short time, and knowing full well you ap preciate his value as a friend of the n people, who are at the mercy of the t waters of the Mississippi river, I I am constrained to say our alluvial inhabitants and yours as well need his services as much or more in the upper house than they did for the V twelve years he was chairman of the I rivers and harbors committee of the lower house. The steamboat inter est of the Mississippi river should take decided steps to show their ap preciation of the efforts of this cham 1 pion of their interests, and it is I needless to recount to them how valiantly he has worked for the in crease of appropriations for levee and harbor improvements, for there is not a river man who is not perfect ly familiar with his record. It might be claimed that a news paper outside of the state has no concern with the election of senators and representatives from Louisiana. This is not the case in this instance, as our material interests are linked together so close that we pardon each other when either chooses to lend words of praise or condemna tion,- as the case may be, as our in terest-appears. Mr. Blanchard has been t',o true to every trust repsed in him not to receive at your hands and those of every paper and citizen in the great Mississippi valley, the praise to which he is so justly entittled. The appropriations for levee work and the victories he has gained while battling for the lives and property of the inhabitants of the valley call for paeans of praise to be sung in his honor in our great state and out of it. Yours truly, LOUISIANIAN. Disclaiming all spirit of interfer- I ence in the political affairs of Louis- 1 iana, the Commercial-Herald desires to express hearty concurrence in the communication signed Louisianian, published to-day. It will be an evil day for the dwellers of the Delta, when they permit any ism or issue to rise superior to or dwarf their im portant and always vital interest in the question of river improvement and overflow protection. And for this interest Mr. Blanchard stands pre-eminently.-- Vicksburg Commer cial-.Herald. SenatorN. C. Blanchard, of Louis iana, is one of the, true friends of the project to improve the naviga tion of the Ouachita river, and we earnestly hope that the legislature of the Pelican State will see proper to return this distinguished gentle man to the Senate of the United I States. During all his long career i in public life, the senator has ever proven himself to be a friend of the people's interests. He is a brilliant man and an ideal statesman. Bearden (Ark.) Journal. Mr. John H. Inman of New York was interviewed last week in regard to the price of cotton, and he ex pressed himself as follows: On October 16th, just five months I ago, March cotton sold in this market at 9.50. From that time there has practically been a continuance de cline until March 5, when,contracts sold at 7.20, a decline 2 1-4 cents. My estimate of the crop is the same to-day as it was five months ago, when cotton sold at 9.50; that is 6,- r 900,000 bales. a The above decline brought our t market much below European parity I and led to large purchases of con tracts in New York against sales to o Europe. My experience is that after a fi steady decline of so long a time an I1 upward movement is inevitable, a - movement which will most likely re cover half of the 2 I-4 ccints decline and therefore carry us back to 8 1-4 @ 8 1-2 cent cotton before the season a is over. With the rapidly declining S stocks and the fact that it is 5 1-2 d months before new cotton can be ob- 4 tained, it occurs to me that the per- . sistent sellers short of August may get into a very uncomfortable posi tion before the season is over. Un- g less prices advance materially, I do t not see how New York can avoid tl having a small stock by August 5. g Trade in America is very bad, per haps worse than at any time for thirty years; but against this, trade a in Europe is good and Liverpool and the continent will take a large " amount of cotton at the cheapest price they can get it, but will, in my b judgment, pay 8 1-4 to 8 1-2 cents if necessary. Almost every cross road b follower south is short of the crop, tl and therefore to my mind the exten- k sive preparations and increased acre- J age and prospects of the new crop s are greatly exaggerated. At any rate it is the season that makes the crop and not the acreage. The Kentucky Legislature ad journed without appropriating moneyg to carry on the State government, i including the courts and benevolent and penal institutions. The Repub lican House passed the appropriation bills, but the Democratic Senate failed to do it. The present indebt- , ednesa of the State is only 8g00,000, I and the failue to pass the appropri- U ation bills will cause a milhon dollar 1 increase in its indebtedness. Over in West Carroll, "the quiet est parish in the State," was the scene of a double killing last week. A special from Floyd to the Picayune f dated the 20th, says that "Ike Singer .cut Jordan Lee's throat from ear to ear at Oak Grove yesterday. Singer Swas arrested, and, while on the way r to this place in charge of deputy sheriff Shrock and posse, attempted to escape. The posse ran him about two miles. After killing his horse, he promised to surrender, but on coming up, be jumped at the deputy and attempted to get his pistol, and while scuffling, was shot six times by Mr. Shrock, the deputy, and one time by some one else, all taking effect." Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Kilgore, Sr., of Farmerville, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage day on Thursday last. The Gazette says that it was a grand and happy occa sion-a general reunion of ante-bel lum relatives and friends. It is esti mated that there were present 500 persons, the oldest of whom who had passed his 90th milestone, and many were beyond 80 years, coming from four or five different parisher. Mr. and Mrs. Killgore, in their gener osity and goodness, did not forget their old negro slaves who had so faithfully served them before the war, and many of them were present. A bountiful and sumptuous repast was-served to the vast crowd." -- The Times-Herald of New York says that Thomas Edison has suc ceeded, with the aid of the X ray, in penetrating the human body with the naked eye, the successful experi ment having been made last week. He looked into the lungs and heart and examined ' the arteries, muscles and blood vessels of one of his assist ants. With the powerful cathode light behind the subject, he looked through a screen of prepared chemi cals and is said to have plainly seen the workings of the various organs of the body. Barney Barnato, the English min ing stock speculator, who is said to be worth $80,000,000, twenty years ago was a poor circus clown in the city of London. The Judge says that "this is more money than either Mr. Vanderbilt or Mr. Astor could scrape together without notices, and it would probably take a good ac countant over 547 years, simply to count a billion dollar bills. Yet all this money will go to the three Bar nato children if they live after their parents' death." At the rate he has made money in the past twelve months, he will have the almost fab ulous sum of one billion dollars with in another year. The auditorium to be erected at St. Louis for the Republican Nation al Convention, will accommodate 15,000 people. The Louisville Post says that a parent is simply throwing money away when he spends it in trying to educate a youth who parts his hair in the middle. Captain Pharr advises his friends to go to the polls with a ballot in one hand and a shotgun or Winchester rifle in the other. We venture the assertion that if the old gentleman at tempts, on the day of election, to practice what he preaches, that he will find himself in lail when night overtakes him.-hbreveport Judge.

Rayne, La., is getting to be quite a place for shipment of eggs. Last Saturday's shipment was one hun dred and fifty cases; 3859 dozen or 41,000. At 8 cents this shipment was worth $276.

"My friends," said the condemned, as he stepped forward for a few last words before the noose was adjusted, "1 ain't no speechmaker and ain't got much to say.
