The Houna Courier, an able and staunchly 1)emocra- D tic contemporary, observes in 'n its last issue: "The letter of W. H. Price was greeted with a great hoot tr by a chorus of primary or gans; but, it appears never- l1 theless as things begin to w take shape throughout the tc State, that Price is a consi derable factor in the race and la will in all probability be the ultimate choice for Governor. et His strength at home and in the neigbboring pariaies is known and admitted, and to this is rapidly being added recruits from all sections in search of a young virile lea. at der. We shouldn't be at all ri surprised to see the whole af. - fair end in a stampede to the , gentleman from Lafourche." D The Courier is correct, lid Senator Price's candidacy is of daily gaining in strength, e and of all candidates in the , field, lie stands to-day the D best chance of winning the prize. He is a man of convic tions and has had the moral Li courage to express them, even though they seemed at the time to run counter to popu lar sentiment, and as the peo- a ple stop to consider the claims C of the various candidates, A they will not be slow to recog- cl nize his worth, and appreciate it at its just value. l - --r .a-- lei Dysentery Cured Without the Aid of T a Doctor. . "I am jast up from a hard spell of e' the flux" (dysentery) says Mr. T. A a; Pinner, a well known merch-int of Drummondl, Tenn. "I used one small le bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera co and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured p with having a doctor. I consider it it the best cholera medicine in the n world." There is no need of employ it ing a doctor' whed this, remedy ms i used, for no doctor can prescribe a Is better medicine for bowel complaint it in any form either for children or at adults. It never fails and is pleasant I to take. For sale by Roth .Diug a Store. Commutation Recommended. re The Attorney General and the Lieutenant Governor of the State, a majority of the B3ard of Pardons, C have recommended a commutation of r the death sentence to life imprison- rt ment in the celebrated Batson case, in which the accused was twice con victed and sentenced to death for the 0 murder of the Earl family in Calca. g sien. b Advices from Lake Charles are that the action of the Board has aroused a very high deglee of indig nation among the people of Lake Charles and adjoining towns in Calcasieu. and ugly threats of lynch ing have been freely made. p We are not familiar enough with e the situation at Lake Charles or even a with thile case to say whether the p criticisms of the action of the Board b are just, but we know that the threats e of resortiug to lynch lr.w are most A reprehensible, and, if carried out, ti would taruish forever the fair name ti and fame of the grand old empire n pariah of Calcuasien. And judging a from the past good records of the n members of the Board whoie action g has been so severely criticized, we are firm a tthe belief that th,-y acted ) honestly and conscientiously, and, if any mistake has been made, which we seriously doubt, it is due only to error of tudgement t. But this as it may, the law should he allowed to take its course; to rCsort to lynch law now would he by long odds a fouler anti blacker crime than the one, black as It is, of which Bataon stands couvicted.

Senator Price received that day a telegiaro annouaciug that his distin gi.ished brother was stricken with paralysis, ansd was in a critical coidi tion. This intelligence naturally proved a severe shock to the Senator, and he at once repairhed to New Or leans where he would he in better communication with Watch hlll, and ready to leave at any mom.'nt, should the exigency of the cas repquir it.
