Senator Gibson's Falla
, cions Theory.
How The Lottery Will Create
Values.
Now, the lottery contributes uothing,
fellow citizens, to the wealth of a peo
ple. Ii supplies no service to a people.
A i abroad supplies a service. It car
ries your goods to maket. The me
chanic supplies a service, the lawyer
supplies a service, the doctor, a ser
vice, every laboring man contributes
some tiling l»y his hiuiu or his hand to
the capital o! a country : hut the lot
tery does nothing of that kind. It
does not contribute one dollar to the
wealtii of this 8tati—not a dollar.—
Senator Gibson's Algiers Speed..
Wien Doctor Palmer gave ut
terai ce to exactly the same proposi
tion as stated above at a Grand Opera
House meeting some time since, no par
ticular attention was paid to the fal
lacy enunciated. Ret such a statement
from a man like Senator Gibson, one
who has had to deal with pratical mat
ters—and even practical politics—for
thirty years, would indicate that he is
endeavoring to tide over the present j
bitter campaign by saying but little, .
and In couclticg that little in abstruse :
phrases. * i
That a lottery does not produce
wealtii in the sense, or in the same
way as does a laborer who raises cane,
cotton or corn, or as a mechanic who
constructs an engine, a wagon or a
buggy, is unquestionably true. Neith
er does Senator Gibson, Dr. Palmer,
the professional man or the merchant.
But to say that those composing such
calliugs do not fill a useful sphere in
society would be asserting that which
is not a fact
THE WINTER HACK MEETINGS
here do not produce wealth in the way
that the employment of the men aud
horses engaged would if put to work in
raising agricultural p .oducts. But no
one acqaiuted with the facts will deny ,
that these lace meeetings bring a large j
amount of money to the city, which is <
distributed iu various ways, and adds i
to the actual wealth of the city.
The s atemeut that the lottery com
pany to be formed when the pending
revenue amendment is adopted will
"not contribute one dollar to the wealth
of this .State" is wholly fallacious.
One million and a quarter dollars per
annum is a good deal of money, aud
the payment of this sum to the State in
case the amendment cairies, isas cer
tain as any financial or commercial
transaction can be. There is no evad
ing it even if Mr. Morris and liis as
sociates desired to wreck their finan
cial standing, for the amendment itself
provides for the
BOND AND OTHER SAFEGUARDS.
When a portion of this money is
placed in levee embaukmeuts and used
iu improving the drainage of New Or
leans will notan actual, positive wealtu
be added directly to the property pro
tected from overflow and tne real es
tate of the larger portion ot the city of
New Orleans? It can not be argued
that the money so expended comes
prima.ily from the resources of Louis
iana, for the opponents of the amend
ment themselves admit that but few
lottery tickets are sold iu the country,
die sum iu me tUUUiry,
and concede that most of the business t
of the company is secured from
abroad.
of the company
abroad.
Not only will the adoptiou of this
amendment add $31,500,000 directly to
the wealth of the cviuiuouwealto, but
the increase iu real estate values that
will follow, must necessarily far exceed
this sum, for eveu Senator Gibsou will
admit that
A PLANTATION SECURELY. PROTECTED
FROM FLOOD
is much more valuable than one that
is not. He must also admit that a
great deal of city real estate that is
»ow valueless—that pays uothing to
the treasury in the way 'of taxes—can
be reclaimed aud given both a com
mercial and taxing value.
There is no more unsound reasoning
than that advanced by the Senator.
Nor is it new. The planters aud far
mers have used it against their mer
efiauts, brokers, aud other middlemen ; ,
yet carried toits ultimate cud, the bum- !
ers the. selves would have to be placed '
in the category of non-producers, for
the actual labor is done by their hired
help.
A BOLD "DEFI."
A Challenge to Got. Nicholls.
THE GOVERNOR'S UNFINISHED WORK.
Francis T. Nicholls, the Governor
of the State ot Louisiana, lias obeyed
the dictates of his lieutenautt in Iberia
Parish, and removed Capt. C. T Cade
as a member ot the police juty and Mr
Bobcrt A. Uliviet, as assessor of this
KS,* 1 iU'Ss rr" Si T lta " eoM,j -
with the order ot removals, commie
sious were issued to Mr Cleveland
Booiero as police j uror and to Mr. Fer
nand Mestayer as assessor.
As to the relative merits and qualifi
cations of the respective persous nam
ed, they are so wide apart that com
ment is unnecessary. The people of
Iberia can establish, the etaudard.
Capt. Cade was an origiua! appoin
ts* of Gov. Nicholls, during his first
1
term, and has served continuously
since as a member of the Police Jury
of this parish, and we defy Mr. Nieli
oils or his lieutenants to point to a sin-;
trio Amoml oof nf ttic tliof fload nof
gle official act of his that does not
commend him as au efficient and
worthy public servant.
The same applies to Robert A. Oli
vier as assessor, and himself an ap
pointee of Gov. Niehoils iu 1888. So
that if we look to the •'cause'' for the
removal, we can only tind it in the fact
that they refused to surrender their
political convictions to adopt thosi
•Mr. Xicliolis and his followei
j
j anu '" 1 '" Camille Broussard of
Such petty actions on the part of the
Chief Executive of a State, are 'oo con
temptible to meet with the approval of
right-minded men, and tuey will be ic
buked at the hist opportunity.
However, if Mr. Xicholls has tlm
courage of his convictions, and wi»lit>s
to be consistent in Iris course, lie must
pursue it a step further and proceed to
revoke ail commissions held by Pros
and sappoiters of Hon. Samuel D. M<
Enery in this parish. We challenge
him and his local aih isors to do it.
In the first pace they have over
looked the commissions held by Mes-rs
Cade and Olivier as members of the
school board.
Then there is Mr. Xaicisse Druilhcf,
of Jeanerette, and Mr. T. A. Derouen,
also members of the School Rnaid.
And Mr. John D. Walsh, of the third
t
the second ward, members of the police
jury, and ail leaders and active and
^S ,esS i' e "°t'ktrs in^the interest of
111 ™cEntr\ and in favor ot the
a "*' ,J dment.
* * Je time for action is now.Gov.....
noij your faction lieie need your back
ing and encouragement tor the first
skirmish ot the campaign, which comes
oti'on the 21st. Your first effort was a
boomerang. Try it over again ; you
may be more successful this time and
throw consternation iu the ranks ot
the enemy. It is true it's a game of
chance; hut then you plated lottery
successfully in 1888 : you may hit it
again. Try it. Governor. Let her
roll.—[New Iberia Enterprise.]

Anti Lottery Goomors.
If the lottery controls the state gov
ernment as the antis charge that ij
does, it seems a little strange that
Louisiana has never had a lottery gov
ernor. Certainly the chief officer of
tne state, with the power of appoint
ing judges and of vetoing legislation,
would seem to be the person a corpor
ation or individual seeking legislation
aud the establishment of rights in couit
would most desire to control. Yet it
is a fact that Louisiana has never had
a lottery governor. Since the lottery
was chartered in 1879, the executive
chair ot the state has been occupied by
only three men, Nicholls, Wiltz and I
McEnery. Gov. Wiltz di*d a few
mouths after his inauguration aud he- !
fore he had time or opportunity to ex- j
press himself on the lottery. Gover
nor McEnery never missed an oppor
tunity to score the lottery in his mes
sages to the Legislature and Governor
Nicholls is the recognized head sachem
of the present lottery crusade. The
only time Nicholls showed any favor
to the lottery was when he accepted a
contribution of $10,000 from it to his
campaign fund. L'oes tnis look like
the lottery was controlling or seeking
to control the state government ? if
the lottery has anything like the pow
er iu politics the antis credet i: with,
surely it Jould have elected at least
one governor favorable to it since 1879.
and that it has not done so trust from
' w,1 * w **'*0 1 JUI, URUt* SO IL USt iroiu
t atl ? Dtl standpoint he taken as pritna
evidence that it did not want it.

I How to Judgi Classical Music.—
There is a vtry simple method by
which even the grearest sceptic mav
ascertain whether a piece of music is
t__.X * » ■ «> • • m m
go»d, had or indifferent. It is as fol
lows : If the music goes "one, two,
three, hop, hop. hop." or "one, two,
three, bum, bum. bum," you may de
pend upon it that you are listening to
unmitigated rubbish. Rut when you
hear music which sounds as though a
number of well arrauged notes were
stuck into a barrel and energetically
! stirred about like a sort of harmonious
oatmeal pol l idge, dieii you may as
sume that it i- a fugue and at once
compose your features into an expres
sioii of profound interest.
If, on listening to the music, you
fancy the notes are drooping acciden
tally on the floor, and from time to
time asset ting tin involves again in a
quiet, dreamy sort of way, then the
nocturno, and
high
Piece is probably
not, as you are aware, are very _
class music indeed.
When the notes seem to arrive in
truck loads, and each truck contains,
so to speak, a different sort fiom the
one that has rone before, and when
the t'aiii appears to ta -.e an unreison
sblc amount of time in passing a given
(mint, then the masterpiece is most
likely a symphony, and symphonies
are the gr -a'est musical creations
hitherto produced.
When it appears as though the notes
had been tumbled down belter skel
ter, then vigorously shoveled up into
a heap, and lastly blown into the a<r
with dynamite cartridges—that is a
rhapsody, and rhapsodies are the latest
variety ot music out.—Dusseldoi fer
Anzeiger.
If lias been charged that if the
Adamsiti s an* i:i the miu.uity iu the
State nominating convention, as they
are sure to he, and fail to get an Anti
Lottery plank on the platform, that
they will holt and endeavor to torm
an alliance with the Republicans.
That tie-re is reason to believe that the
charge is not entirely without founda
tion, is evidenced by the fact that two
such well known men in this State as
Congressman R.anch.trd and Col. W
P. Ford, both of Shreveport, declared
that tliey would rather turn the State
over to tlie Republicans than to see
the lottery leveuue amendment adopt
ed by the people, Mr. E. H. Farrar
who is now on the stump in the inter
est of the Lafayette dicker, is also
quoted as saying that if S. D. McEnery is
nominated, he will support the Re
publican candidate. It isevideut from
this kind of talk that the Adams fac
tion have been made desperate by the
del at that is staring them iu the face,
but their wild mouthing! do not
frighten the Democratic party, aud
they ate at liberty to make an alliance
—j ■— •— --v..,, ... .... ......„,. c
with t. e Republicans if they choose to
do so.—Ex.

* heir
good deal of comment in
this city regarding the statement which
E. H Fariar is said to have made oji
the stump, to the effect that if McEi.
eiy is nominatid that he will support
the Republican nominee, and that if
the lottery amendment is idopted lie
will leave the state. The consensus of
opiniou here among all conservative
men *s that the adoption of the lottery
revenue amendment w ill not only be
financially beneficial to the state, but
it would tie the means of ridding Loui
siana of a man that can well be spared
The threat sf Farrar is really enjoy
able, and the only fear expressed is
that he will not carry it out.—Ex.
