spouse in a mysterious manner, Will pric
she be as lucky in getting out of this to I
as she was in the first? fart
Gov. Foster has appointed W. S.
Frazier to the office of Sheriff of St. grea
Landry parish, caused by the death of 1
of H. I. Deshotels. The first good les
act of Mr. Frazier, was to clean out the
the whole office force of pops. and mal

The same old factional fight is on of
*in Caddo parish, and each wing of oth
the Democratic party have put up cxc
candidates for the Constitutional
Convention. This is to be regretted, di.
and they should have buried their
difference and sacrificed everything bee
to the success of the party.
It is gratifying to the Dernc'a~ey
of the State to see that there will be inc
harmony among the two factions of aci
the party in East Baton Rouge in eff
the selection of persons to the Con- tio
stitutional Convention. We are glad co
that all differences have been fixed tal
so that they will be united. the
The Republicans of Louisiana, who th;
have been in Washington for the past de
six or eight mouths waiting for their le:
reward from Marcus Alonzo McKin- en
ley, have once more been told to ad
wait, and no appointments will be Fe,
made until after Congress meets. pc
Wimberly's hopes have been crushed in
more than once. at
Politics are warming up all over e'
the State and in the next week it will "
be red-hot. It is sincerely hoped it
that the Democrats will not allow any Ct
old sores to be opened and that they
will unite in defeating every Repub- bi
lican-Populist wherever he may come w
out. The Convention should be at
composed entirely of Democrats.

Our friend Scott of the Crowley y

strict quarantine, when everything d
was corked up tight, put out a daily 5
for the benefit of his town and parish, I
miand for get-up, push and news it t
could not be surpassed. It was far
ahead of many dailies published in
cities not a thousand miles away
from us. Scott, your efforts should p
be appreciated.
Brann, of the Waco Iconoclast, is
responsible for the taking of two
human lives and the dangerous
wounding of another. The personal J
attacks of Brann in his vile sheet '
against the HBaylor University was
the cause of the killing of J. W. and
W. A. Harris and the wounding of
Judge Gerald in a street fight. NO
doubt Waco will be too hot a place
for Brann to remain after thisi
deplorable and tragic affair.
