r THIE REPUBLICANS.
S The Republican Parish Execu
Stive ('onunittee held a meeting on
e the 29th of March in Tallulah.
- The meeting appears to lhave been
I- called by IR. H. Brown, but for
- what purpose can only be left to
r conjecture. It was stated in the
tr meeting that Brown's notices read
I in some cases that the mleetin was
Sto be a meeting of the 'arish -Com
c niittee, anl in others, a mass meet
t ing or Convention. Thiis state
t went was not denied by Brown,
e and as the maker of the statement
C offered to prove it by exhibiting
the notices in Brown's hand-writ
I ing, it can be accepted as true.
At the meeting of March 15th
Brown was elected temporary chair
man, and he claimed that he was
chairnmn of the present mceting.
G(ov. Hawkins claimed that he was
Schairman of the 'Parish Executive
Comnniittee, and the meeting was a
Pariah Committee meeting with
himself as chairman. The usual
i confusion, when such a state of af
d fairs exists, now took place, every
r one trying to talk at once, and fin
- ally the Brown crowd retired to the
front part of the buhilling and held
a mnass meeting, where they en
e dorsedthe ticket put up bythe Lu
, cas-Crandell party, substituting I.
j H. Brown for D. George Humphreys
- Is, a candtidate for the Legislature,
and endorsing Dr.Kelley for Sheriff.
U Another scene of confusion ensued
t on tile motion to adopt the Lucas-.
I C(mndall ticket, but it was finally
c adopted asfar as could be learned.
7 It was resolved to have the pro
a ceedings published in the Journal

BLISSFUL IGNORANCE.
Why di'll't the JMilion TIMES
s, reporter get up and express his I
e opinion atld l i views in the col
t ored meeting instcad of having
lInwkins do it for him?
a The T:!~t reporter seems more º
a at ease in a colored convention thanl
l' amlong the whites. whispering and
prompting a dusl:y member of the
a meeting would indicate this-Mad

a The Journal does not appear to
know the difference between a re- I
I porter and the average country
editor. The Ti.t:s reporter ac
Squired his reporting experience in
the' service of first-class daily pa
pers in New Orleans, and reporters I
are expected to get all the informa
r tion at meetings possible. To do
this it is necessary to ask questions
iL occasionally, and the man or men
t, of whom the questions are asked 1
ar are the ones who are most likely to
furnish the information desired.
Consequently the TIUES reporter I
asked several questions during the i
1- meeting of March 15th. lie did
n the same at the white mass meet- 1
1" ing of March 10th, and will continue i
n to do the same at all future meet- .
.r ings he may attend, when he feels
0so disposed.
c The Journal did not have .a re
d porter at the Republican meeting I
s of the 15th of March, or the Demo
1- cratie miass meeting of the 10th
t- either, so far as could be discerned,
and it probably got its information
1, second-hand, which would account
it for the wrong construction placed
sg upon the TIME- reporter's actions.I
t- The party who furnished the Jour- 1
nal with the items at the head of
.h this article evidently had not the
r- most remote idea of the duties of a t
is reporter, prSobably never saw one,
g. and naturally did not know the du
stis of one. The more discreet
e course then would have been toi

h pering, etc., but- "fools rush in

The Solid 5th Speaks.
We notice with sorrow and re- t
gret, in the last issue of the Madi
son Journal, a caustic article of at- t
tack against the 5th ward. Our e
solidarity is complained of. and we I
are twitted with the fact of having I
exercised cur freeman's privilege
of choosing a Magistrate. The 5th
ward so far forgot itself as to choose I
a Magistrate without consulting the a
potentates who run the Madison 1
Journal. Ye gods, what will that I
deluded people do next? Exercise 1
our prerogative, and vote for any r
man whom we may in our sweet a
will select; regardless of the Jour- I
1 nal, its henchmen or any other
self-made demagogue. t
The editor of the Madison Jour- t
nal is free, white and over twenty- 1
one, and has a perfect right to ex- 1
- press his individual opinion. But
as the guardian of public rights and
the expresser of public sentiment, i
he has, we conceive, grossly over- I
stepped the duties and rights of the c
position, when he undertakes to
dictate to a community who they
shall select for Magistrate. No one
in the parish except the individuals 4
, who signed W. W. Johnson's peti
j tion are in any way affected by the i
choice, and when a party with- c
out interest gratuitously pushes t
r himself into the matter, he at least I
· shows a want of courtesy. When
1 ever we take action in any matter
that affects the parish, then and
i not till then, has the Journal a 1
right to criticise our actions. In t
the same article of the Journal we
are asked "if we will be solid for
W. W. Johnson for the position of
Representative? That question the
Journal had a right to ask, and we
accord the right to an answer.
The solidarity of the 5th ward
has been upon one matter, that is,
the bIst interests of Madison par
ish. We worked for, and are go
ing to vote for, a man whohasused
- his utmost endeavors to protect
,f our lands from overflow; to keep
e poverty's grim clutch from our
a throats, and to inspire the
,outside world with the belief
Sthat the citisens of Louisiana are
t not a nest of beggars,but men who
o are willing and trying to help them.
.selves. When we east our votes
a for MeEnery, we thought ourselves
and still do think, that we were
acting for the general welfare of
the people at large. Besides 'twas
- a pleasure to us to show our appre
V ciation and gratitude for the favors
we were receiving. Taking this
Sview of the matter, if we find by
election day that W. W. Johnson
will better guard and assist Madli
Sson parish, and support a levee
Spolicy, then we will vote for W. W.
e Johnson, Republican and negro as
he is, in preference to any white
man whose platform is anti-levee,
be that white man's record as a
, I Democrat as long a achurch debt.
r And now Mr. Journal allow us
I to conclude by imparting a little
O piece of informnation. The 5th
ward from the most igmnorantne
aIgro to Its mo enlltgened white
citisen fully compreheads the polit
ical situation. "On the one side
there is a hundAzl of cast-off office
seekers struggling and writhing

S. Ingtigating th.TariL.
The tari~ editorf the New York
Herald hq recently been devoting
himself to .appetis to the laboring
men of t various trades which he
styles "unprotected," pretending
to show how protection is injuring
them by putting up the prices of
articles entering into every-day
consumption. He has made al
ready no less than three editorial
appeals to the carpenters, in which
he asserted that this branch of
trade, which employs the largest
number of hands of any industry in
the country, is wholly unprotected,
and that the carpenters are the vic
tims of the tariff.
In answer to these appeals a car
penter of New York has just writ
ten to the Herald, on the subjectof
protection, a letter which gives the
workingman's view of this ques
tion.
The particular carpenter writing
to the New York Herald on this
subject declares that he and all his
fellow-workmen have been investi
gating the subject of the tariff to
find exactly how it affects them.
"We first satisfied ourselves that
England is a free trade country
and that wages there are only one
half what they are here, in the va
rious trades we follow. In ecase we
have free trade and our wages are
reduced to the English stand
ard, can we buy a barrel of flour for
$4 which now costs us $8? meat
which now costs us nine and twen
ty cents for five and tent Can we
take a trip to Coney Island and
back, including a clam chowder,
for twenty-five cents instead of nty
cents as now? Can we buy the New
York Herald for one instead of
two cents; ride on the horse-ears for
half price, and get our refit for half
what we pay now? In fact, if our
wages are reduced down to the En
glish standard-one-half, can we
get everything correspondingly
cheaper?"
This puts the case very clearly
as far as the industrial .classes are
concerned, whether they figure un
der the head of protected or umpro
tected industries. If any mechan
ic or workingman will look at the
subject as this New New York car
penter has done, he will very soon
arrive at the conclusion that while
free trade will inevitably have the
effect of reducing his wages, there
will be little if any reduction in the
cost of the majority of articles that
that now constitute necessities for
r him.-T-D.
