Congressman Gay Enunciates.
Sound on the Blair Bill
A Supporter of La' or and Protection.
The following was clipped from the
Terrebonne Times:
What is Mr. Gay's position on the as
tionel aid question to education labor
and the protective tariff--the Democratic
Convention is silent on these points.
An Item reporter was dispatched to
O,btain the information sought by the
above journal and accetted the honorable
gentleman in the rotunda of the St.
I'harles Hotel.
Mr. Gay read the above inquiry and
said that he believed the convention had
in view the principlesenunciated at the
lemoeratie National Convention which
nominated Mr. Cleveland but if these
planks were taken out of the platform by
the convention of the Third District he
was pleased to be given an opportunity
to state his views on the points sugges
tid by the Times.
I am and have been, said Mr. Gay, a
strong advocate of the Blair bill and
there is no possibility of my changing
my mind thereon even If the convention
did lose sight of this highly important
question.
What about labor? asked the Item.
Well, replied Mr. Gay. "I am whole
heart and soul a protection man and as
the labor and protection questions are
so closely allied to each other, I naturally
am in favor of sustaining the interests
of the working classe. 1 believe I have
stated briefly my views and feel esatisfied
that my people will be contented with
the policy I propose to pursue in Con
gress-N. O. City Item.

will be a saving in m time and ex

A Sleeping Car Decision.
The decision of the Masachusetts
courts that sleeping car companies are
relsposible for the property of their pa
trons will lighten very materialy the
woes of those who are compellsd to tra
vel by night. How many weary hours
have been spent by leeping ear passen
I gars in deciding where they shall store
their wealth either of money or dim
monds. Bolt upright in their narrow
quarters, with frequent knocking. of the
head against the roof of their coach,
what anguish have they not experienced
in the effort to decide whether it will

the watch, the earrings and the brooch
a- at the head or the foot beneath pillow
oa where the robber will be sure to look, or
Lie in some outer garment which he may
possibly overlook? And when the decisio
to has been made what sleepless hours
he have been passed in regretting it and
ie listening for the velvet footfall of the
t. thief who never comes when his velvet
footfall is expected.
ad Now if the Massachusetts decision is
Id sustained, the pasenger ean hang his
he watch and his money on the hook with
eh his overcoat and calmly sleep in fall
confidence that he will find it in the
by morning. For if the sleeping car corm
pany is responsible it will asee that the
ty passenger does ind his property; though
it will probably provide a safe for IL
And that by the way, is what sleeping
a car company ought to do w ther the

ig not. If it will do that and pay its por

defense it will do more to commed it -
