On Thursday night after the

had been closed for the night and
the bartender had gone it was dis
eovered that th«* building was on
fire. Before the fiâmes could be
gotten under control, the saloon
building was destroyed and Hit*
warehouse adjoining also. In th«*
warehouse Messrs A. Ii. Lyons
and E. A. Henning had 350 sacks
of rice stored, which is also a total
loss. The Hillebrandt warehouse,
the J. T. Hennings store an«l the
Jas. Ilillebrandt store also caught
fire, but by hard work were sav«*«l
without much loss. So far as
learned there was no insurance on
any of the buildings nor on the
rice that was burned.—Westlake

Congress meets next Monday,

the action will be a lesson to Utah,
which h:*.s an au lactiy startling in

question.
The election of Roberts to the
lower House cannot be considered
other than as the grossest insult to
the American institutions as Utah
knew them and bet:tmi them at
the date of her admission to State
hood only a short while ago, and
to endeavor, at this early date to
■ram polygamy down our throats,
in the very face of the Edmunds
law, enacted to annihilate it in
Utah, and the statutes ot all other
States, restraining it under the
criminal code, such a resolution
would be a just retribution. — Frank

The same old cry of "M
makes right," rings as clear as
ever and in no ease i* it more
I manifest than in the condition of
the bayou at this season with tin*
! thousands of dead lisli floating on
j its surface and entangled in the
jcver-present, ever-annoying and
Wo had thought these water
plants had done their worst in ha
lted ing navigation—but wc were
vastly mistaken as life and health
are more than «•ominent* and
wealth and these plants, tangled
at the roots, forming a thick top,
give no room for the dead fish to
float on and out of reach of our
old factories.
To tin* most optimist, the idea
«it health going hand in hand
with this putrid matter is impossi
ble. That the planters, in viola
tion of tin* law on the subject,
are responsible for this unsani
tary state of affairs, is beyond
question—lienee we say "might
makes right"—As a matter of
fact, nowev«*r, we think the
planters are only following in the
wake of the n*st of humanity, not
withstanding their employment
in sweetening the land and that
they observed the common rule
that points to convenience as tin*
shortest way out of trouble. The
bayou is right at the «loot* of t!i<*
refinery which thus becomes tin*
natural receiver of all useless or
objectionable matter—there is no
malice intend«*«! and this article
is written with tin* desire of call
ing attention to tin* suffering <*on
dition of the people who line tin
banks of the bayou and w hose
cry for purity is based on sanitary
claims and a protest not to
be shamed befon* a world that
has revered the Te«*lu* as the
romantic stream chosen by the
sweetest poet as worthy to go
down in undying and exqui ite
song.
Oh! mighty sugar barons! have
a care! Suppose Evangline <*an
look upon the Itosom of Hu* Tech«*
of today! lier lamentations are
surely redoubled, lias she not
suffered enough? Spar«* her an
additional sorrow— remembering,
when she floated down this oak
embowered bayou, she was unim
peded by water hyacinths nor
sickened by sight or smell of fish
whose days of beauty and useful
ness have tt»*d.
Still, there may b«* some plant
er w ho care not a fig for Evange
line, her sorrows or her delight in
the beautiful bayou de«lieat«*d to
lier memory, and we apply t«>
those in a way that may appeal
to their practical methods. From
New Iberia to Morgan t'ity tin*
poisonous acids are emptied into
the bayou—therefore, sbotihl one
or more planters wish to go t<> tin
trouble and expense of otherwise
disposing of tin* stuff, it would
be useless and here it comes in
order for tin* Bann'EIJ to suggest
that a Convention of planters ! «•
[held, when* ways ami means m;iy
i { »e discusseil to render the bayou
Jess objectionable and healthier
and to formulate some plan by
whieh the refuse matter may b«*
burnt, buried or otherwi*«* «le*
