SATURDAY, (JUT. 1 t)Tti, 1897.
ON MIME "SIGNS
TIMES"
OF THE
Duiing the last presidential cam
paign thete was much frothy declama
tion throughout tlm length and
breadth of this fair land against the
so-called anaichis ic and socialistic
tendencies of the democratic paity as
evidenced by its declarations embod
ied iu the Chicago platform.
Forthe purposes of the disenssiou of
the idea which we desire to biing
forward in this article, we need no"
defend the Chicago plaifiom from
these charges against it. For the
sake of argument, we may admit their
correctness, and our answer is that
over six million American freemen
have declared by their ballots that
the views expressed in the Chicago
platform met their approval. Ho that,
if the Chicago platform, which has
recently been reiterated by demo
cratic conventions sitting in various
states, contains anarchistic or social
istic doctrines, and these doctrines
have been indorsed, in whole or iu
part, by over six million American
freemen, the;., there is no escaping
the logical conclusion, from our ene
mies' premises, that we have in "this
land of the free and home ot the
brave, ' of which we boast so much,
over six million anarchists and so
cialists of H.moieor less pronounced
type. \V hat ! six millions, or nearly
one half ot the voting population of
the Uuited States, socialists ^aud an
archists 1 What a terrible pass have
we come to ! Well may even our etie
mtes lecoil from the inevitable con
elusion ot their nun premises and
piay to be delivered from it, for woe
unto any country one half of whose
population has been driven to seel;
relief in socialistic or anarchistic
doctriues.
But, fortunately for all, the case is
not so bad as it lias been made out bv
• etrect ot some «.>eep seated
the enemies of democracy. There are
not so many socialists or anarchists in
the country as that. There are how
ever, some socialists in the land, and
it may be anarchists, too. and the
case is bad enough as it is in leulitv.
fo make the situation worse the
existence of socialists and anarchists
among us is only a svmpton indicating
some disease 5 iu the body politic. l"
is only the
maleticcau.se or, peihaps, of a concat
ena ion of causes, which is sapping!

sort, for the least mistake in bestow

It behooves our statesmen and
publicists, and all paliinde men,
there fare, to minutely note the symp
tons and make a collect diagnos s of
the case with a view to applying the
'proper remedy. We must fathom
the cause or causes from which the
socialistic tendencies noted spring,
and the knife must belaid at tit** mot

FEAR SEEMS TO RULE.
/anycommunity ismtich to be regretted,
tor were such a community to be visi
ted by the fever, its people would be
* '
Since nnr last issue it lias been
proclaimed that what had hitharto
tieen called dengue in Galveston is
nothing less than yellow fever and, ns
a matter of com sc, all Texas has been
thrown into a state of intense excite
ment and flight. Suspicions cases
are also reported from Houstou and
Sail Antonio, and before these lines
fall under our leaders' eyes such cases
will have sprung up in various other
localities of tin- Lone Star State.
The yellow level is undoubtedly an
undesirable disease to have in ;l n\
locality, and every reasonable preean
tion should be taken to keep it out :
but the wild terror and fear which tr
inspires seem out ot all reason and
possibly do more harm than the fevei
itself. If is surprising how the people
of some communities lost; all self-con
trol and seem to become frantic with
fear at the very mention ot the yellow
fever.
Ir would seem that bravety is an
extinct virtue, and that men and
women who have faced grea'er dangers
in the, past with heroism, are appalled
and overwhelmed by the mere sug
gestion of the possibility of the dread j
visitation.
Such a state of the public mind in
so demoralized that they would tie
in terror, every one struggling for
himself without thought of friends,
neighbors or kin, and the resultant
suffering both physical and mental,
Morn such a state of confusion and
abondoumeut would be si in ply incal
culable 1
To dread the fevei and to take all
necessary precautions to ward off its
invasion is wise ami prudent, but fear
should not be allowed to dethrone
reason and to establish the rule of
wild terror. Fear the fevjr, but
exercise prudence, and let brave
hearts be willing and ready to meet it
as becomes true men and Christians, if
the worst comes.

DECLINED WITH THANKS.
Our esteemed contemporary-, the
Houma Courier, is sometimes given
to bragging, and occasionally it is
moved by a great big chunk of gen
erosity. as witnesses the following ;
"Judge Caillouet opened court
here iast Monday. The docket as
usual is not a heavy one, with a
number of minor cases and no mur
der ease. The report of the Grand
Juty published elsewhere in The
Courier, shows how good we Ter
rebonne people can be when we want
to. The only bad thing in the parish
is the jail, and that is bad because it
is not patronized enough to justify
the expense of keeping it in repair.
It might be a good idea to build a
new jail to be used as "a thing of j
beauty and a joy forever." In cases
of every day emergencies we might
tender Hie new jail to our sister
parishes of Lafourche, St. Mary and
Assumption where naughtiness exists
at times."
Y e know not what our sister parish
es wh! do, but as for Lafourche we can
say licit, she declines with thanks
our t; c.temporary's generous offer.
Her jail is more than ample for her
own use. and, indeed, in case of an
emergency in Terrebonne, that par
ish can find sufficient accommodation
within its precincts for any surplus
boarders she may have on her roll.

dents have been keeping mum on the
subject so long that, we begin to miss
their delightful nonsense.

are reduced to poverty. The Baro

other otlieials who are not over so
licitous about the general welfare.

A few weeks ago Senatoi Foraker,
of Ohio, when asked if he would taae
any part in the campaign in his
Slate, replied in the affirmative, and
declared that he was "inflamed for
Hanna." Ills inflammation, how.
over, appears to have suddenly sulv
sided and according to the latest
reports, he lias cancelled ill his cam
paign engagements and g me Hast to
look after his business interests. A
desperate attempt was made by the
administration to induce all the Re
publican leaders to puli together,
but it is quite plain that they have
no love for llanua, who is playing
the role of a political dictator, and
running the campaign in his own
interest and without regard to what
becomes of the State ticket. He is
determined to be elected to the Sen*
ate, and is allowing the candidates
for State offices to take care of them
selves as best they can. Bushnell
and his f riend Foraker are aware of
this fact, and consequently there is
much sulking all along the party
line which does not bode well for
Hanna's chances of success.— States,
