The appointment of Judge Wm.

is one eminently lit to be made.
Judge Seay will make a faithful

Our sincere sympathies are ex*
tended to Mrs. Hildebrand, edi
tress of tbe Gretua Courier , in the
heavy affliction that she has sus
tained iu the sudden death of her
little son, whose yonug life has
been shortened iu a sad and terris

In such a sorrow, human sympa
thy can soften, but only He, whose
omnipotent will rales all things, can
assuage tbe pain that almost breaks
the mother's heart, in the taking
away of her little one, and leaving a
void that can never be filled.

of a little tront stream, and it was

me were entertained*
"Was the tront stream dry!"
asked one of the interested listen

"Dry f Certainly not. How

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.
In tome quarters there are percep
tible murmuring of complaints on
the delay of President Cleveland*
in making appointments.
There is appaiently some jus
tice in these manifestations of dis
sent. Still, before coudemuiug the
President for his cautions policy,
the objects that he may have, and
the reasons, for this dilatory action
should be better known than they
are. at this moment.
Not 100 days have passed since
the ilia uguratiou of the new Demo 1
cratic President. A large portion
of that time has beeu necessarily
expeuded in patiently listening to
applicants, whose hunger for offices
far excels their anxiety for the com
mon welfare.
Tbe entire machinery of Govern
meut wilt have to be thoroughly
ovethauled
There are thousands of things to
accomplish besides the removal and
and appointment of office holders.
A great many have already beeu
effected, and in the tnaiu tbe pub
lie is satisfied with the selections
made.
So far as Louisiana is concerned
every Democrat desires tc see re
moved the whole corrupt set that
have beeu preyiug upon the Gov
ernmeut, expending its funds for
party purposes, and whose whole
experience has been to prostitute
the Public prosperity to tbe ad
vancemeut and aggraudisemeuts
of tbe party iu power.
But wheu the President has come
to view the prospect iu Louisiana,
he is met by two factions in the De
mocracy, that are growling and
abusing each other, iu a manner
not calculated to impress his mind
with any high ideas of party bar
mony iu this State.
Senator Eastis who professes or
aspires to lead oue wing has
launched forth a thunderbolt
against tbe President, and endeav
ors to read him out of his party.
The Senator, fondly imagining
that his bombshell would buret up
the Cleveland admiuistratiou into
small atoms, prudently sailed for
Europe to escape auy of tbe flying
missiles, that might be hurled forth
in the grand explosion
Another wing of the Democracy
is headed l>y tbe N. O. Picayune , or
uses that paper, at least, for its or
gau.
The Eastis branch is pleasantly
designated as the "Ring.* 4 What
there is more terrible in one riug
bolding power, than there is anoth
er ring striving to replace it, is a
question that is not much discussed.
It is a fact the "Ring 44 in tbe city
of New Orleans gave Cleveland and
Hendricks tbe greatest part of the
vote they received in that city.
It is also a pretty well establish
ed fact that the opponents of the
ring did sot vote for Cleveland : it
they had done so, his Majority in
New Orleans would have been
20000 instead of 10000.
They preferred to vote for Blaine
or rather to remain at home, with
their spring heel boots on, ready,,
should the news of the success of
Blaine roach them, to leap iuto his
ranks and swear that they were so
premely happy.
The President is met by these
two factions. He is expected to
choose between them promptly and
please both sides, at the same time.
Senator Eastis, whose brilliant
talent no one will dispute, leads
tbe charge.
tbe charge.
He is a well chosen leader. Da
ring the campaign in 1884 he re
mained quietly in New Orleans and
let the adherentk of Cleveland and
Hendricks help themselves.
He did finally make one speech
a few boars before tbe election, and
it is safe to presume, that he hogs
the delusion to his bosom, that he
saved the State of Louisiana for
the Democracy.
Senator Eustis is too tar away,
probably, to hear how his thnnder
bolt has effected the people of Louis
iana.
* If not, he probably knows that it
effected just about as much as his
one speech did.
On the other hand, Senators Gib
son and Jonas did manly work du
ring the campaign, yet the ndhe
reuts in New Orleans of the
faction which they lead are
the men .who are now wrathy
because they foolishly spent their
money to hare spriug heels put up
on their boots.
Which faction must the President
1 support.
He is told that the "ring 4 * in New
Orleans is a terrible monster that
must not lie petted and fed.
Yet if be sides with the other fac
tiou will tbere be any advautage T
If tbe Picayune is to be cousidered
as au exponent of tbe auti ring men,
then any change from tbe ring to
the auti riug, would not be a leap
from tbe frying iuto the fire, but
rather a double somersault from a
snow caped peak of tbe Alleghe
nies into a burning oil well in Peun
sylvania.
With such a muddle as this in
Louisiana, there is no wonder that
the Piesideut is slow to move.
He has an exceedingly difficult
task to perform, which a united
Democracy might materially assist
in executing.
We prefer, under the circum
stances, to await farther develop
ments before we join in tbe con
demnation of tbe Presidents policy.
Mr. Goudron, superintendent of
tbe Public schools in the Parish of
Ascensiou has given leave of ab
seuce to all teachers in the public
schools of that Parish to attend tbe
teachers institute to be bold in
Tbibodaux, on June 8,9,10,11 and
12 proximo.
The same facilities will probably
be given teachers in Assumption,
Lafourche aud Terrebonne.
This will be an interesting week
in Tbibodaux, and the citizens
should endeavor to render tbe occa
siou one of profit aud pleasure to
the visitors.
Let them carry away pleasant
reminiscences of tbeir visit, aud re
late to their pupils the good time
they have bad io Tbibodaux.

"Have you auy malaria hete V
asked a lady who was looking sit a
rural boarding-place for ber family
"Well, 44 said the landlady, "we
bain 4 t got none jist now; folks
havn 4 t asked for it; but we 4 ll get it
for your family if you want it."
Most folks get malaria without
^wanting it. To get rid of its nox
ious effects, use Brown 4 s Iron Bit
ten* Mrs. S. B. MacDonald New
Haven, Conn., says, "I suffered
from malaria for nearly six years.
Brown ( s Iron Bitters cared me com
pletely. 44
Senator Eastis has issued a pro
nnneiamento against President
Cleveland, and left for Europe,
there to remain until its thunder
ings cease to reverberate over tbe
mountain tops.
That Senator Eustis is a man of
great talent, no one who knows the
man will question. That his opin
ions are wortny of careful couside r
ation admits of no doubt.
Whether the Senator has gbaged
the President properly time will
disclose.
Eastis, however, is entitled to
hearing. Heoccopiesa high posj
tion, and if the President does not
heed his recommendation the Pre?i
dent, it may be, should be forced to
assume the responsibility*
He owes much to Eastis ; the Seu
ator labored hard to secure Clove
land ( s Election. He had bis name
posted on hand bills among tbe
Democratic Speakers in the cam
jiaign that placed Cleveland in the
Presidential Chair. In fact he
palled off his coat and made one
speech for the Democracy in the
late democratic Campaign and
thereby saved Louisiana for Cleve
landaud Heodricks.
Mr.u.G.
Cam
i of the Lm»
ersffisQpuis, QM% writes?
*Dl S.B. Hastxav, Columbus, Ohio,
Gentlemen: Some time since, 1 ti e d oct a -
•ion to doubt the genuineness of most of
the articles that appear in different paper*
in regard to yoor wonderful PssvMA,aad
my enrioaity waa so greet that I deter
mined to write to one of die many people
that claimed to have been cured by this
medicine, and accordingly wrote to Mr*.
J. W. Reynolds, of New Lisbon, this
county, and received the following reply."
" I received your letter this evening, and
in reply would say that Panuna, I be
lieve, saved my tile, and I can not recom
mend it too highly; for all complaints it
is the beat medicine in existence. It
aeems to help you at you swallow it I
would advise any one suffering from my
complaint to take Puuxa and be con
vinced. Yours truly, Mrs. f. W. Rey
nold*." Now, that'* her card, word for
word, and aa I am well acquainted with
the lady, I do not believe she would lie.
It is truly wonderful Itow your medicine
does do good.
. James L. Mooney, Prospect, Ohio,
writes : " For the past ten years I have
been suffering from constipation and
dyspepsia, and all the evil effects that
accompany them. I was treated by a
number of doctors, all to no effect. I
.used several patent medicines, which did
me no good, and about three years ago I
waa seized with a severe nervous trouble,
and was obliged to quit farming. I
thought my days would soon be over, but
last winter I received one of your pam
phlets called the u Ills of Life. I at once
tried your Pxruxa and Maxalih.
They helped me right away. I used nine
bottles of Peruna and threeof Man aux ;
and now I am quite well, and able to
resume farming. I also had a little child
which was attacked with a severe cramp
in the stomach; we thought it would go
into spasms. I used nothing but Pkruna.
We gave it an injection of PnuXA and
warm water, and gave it a teaspoonful of
the medicine internally every half hour.
It was relieved in one hour, and has not
been bothered since. I have also used it
with as good effect in case of croup and
colds. I know that it i* a wonderful
medicine, and recommend it to all who
are in poor health. The above statement
I am willing to swear to."
W. M. Plants, Deep Valley, Greene
county, Pa., write#: " Please send me
your book on the * Ills of Life.* I have
used one bottle of Puuxa, and am great
ly benefited."
