St. Ziandry Teachers' Institute.The Teachers' Institute for St. Lan-

Sdry parish held its second monthly ses-sion on Saturday, April 27. IRev. F. W.Lewis presided, with L. E. Littcll, Se.cretary. After an opening prayer, theroll was called and a goodly number ofteachers from various potions of theparish were found present. Miss StellaTruman was enrolled as a menmber.

After music hy Miss Ada Sandoz, theiprogramme prepared was taken up.Miss Ealer and Mrs. Dodez read enjoy-able selections. Next came an inter-esting discussion, participated in by anumber of teachers, as to tthe ibst nin-thod of teaching children ttr read.The difficulties in the was of teaching

French speaking children were also con-sidered.

After music by .MIrs. Dod z, ii:s i1o-veryecited in a beautiful manner a piee,entitled " The Old Settler's Story."

Mrs. Jester reada very thoughtful alilwell worded paper on the responsibili-ties of the teacher's position and theneedful qualifications for this importantwork. Owing to sickness some teacihe•swho wele to have taken part were notpresent. The Secretary announced thatan Institute for this and adjoining pal-ishes would be held on May ~20th by theFaculty of the State Normal School, andurged all to attend. The Presidentmade a few encouraging remarks, andafter music by Miss Alice Latour theInstitute adjourned.

Many thanks ate due to thle adit-slwho lent their aid in the musical partof the programme. We were glad tosee a number of citizens plesrnt whoseemed to enjoy the prctcedings, andwe hope the attendanc- at future meet-ings will be yet larger.

Mlore Lawlessness.

The firing into a colored man's house,on the night of the 13th ult.. in VillePlate Piairid, seems to be 't resumptionof similar acts of vioulauc, that tookplace in this parish some months ago.The fact that none of the guilty partieswere found out and punished with theextreme penalty of the law has embold-ened the same parties. or others, tocommence their terrorizing and murder-ous midnight raids again.

The courts of our country are alwaysopen for the redress of wrongs, and theprotection of life and property, withoutmen banding together in the night timeto punish bad persons or to injure inno-cent ones. The good and law-abidingpeople of the parish ought to upholdand assist the officers of the law in put-

ting down these disord.-i s and bringingthe offenders to justice, otherwise these, ridnight attacks will increase, goodcitizens will eventually be assassinated,a reign of terroIr pe.rvade the country,and the good name of the parish beruined abroad. Let peace and goodorder-be maintained at all hazards. Cer-tainly our people are not going to allowa few desperadoes to overthrow thecourts and the law, and rule the coun-

try with blood and violence. Let thatwell understood right now.

fhe Blection in Washingtop.

At preswut writing the main topic ofconversation in Washington and iin factthe one absorbing question-business,

pleasure and other things being slight-

ed, and cast aside as secondary consid-orations-is the coming election formayor and councilmen to take placenext Monday.

The question is asked : why all this

r- mpus, wrangling and turmoil, as pol-itdcs is not a factor, it being purely ahome affair, more a business matter

tha. aught else-the election of fivemen to manage the affairs of the townto the best interest of the taxpayersand the people generally , The bone

of .ontenion seems to be the office of

Constable, the only salaried office of

any consequence. For years. if we are

not mistaken, the Constable has been

the " Mogul" in the town elections--noquestions ever being asked as to the

fitness or qualifieations of the candid-

att for Mayor anri councilmeu, but

simply, Which man will they supprottfor Constable 1 In othlr wol.s, as hal

hap ned too frequiently with us in

Opelhcsas, the Conl-tarle unittle tiiit

tickets and virtually "rIiD "" the town.

On the 29t,. of March last, the goodcitizens of the tow n preposed to do away

with this idea and met iit convention at

Perseveranee Hall to nominate a maytand councilmen irrespective of whoshould be the constable ; men whom

they would selectl for their honesty,

business ability and general fitness; butas is frequently the case a few were dis-

satisfied and bolted the meeting, got up

an opposition ticket and are using allmeans in their power to land their fit-vorites. Hence the internecine strife.

The ticket nominated on the 29th of

March was as follows: Mayor, Win. A.

SFlynn, Esq.; Councilmen, Messrs. Lrru-

eien Dnpre, MaxTla uns , Jacob Ehrhardt.

and F. Vanhille, 0l1 thoroughly identi-

!ted with the best interests of the townand whose competency cannot be ques-tioned. The affairs of our sister town

coald not be entrusted to safer hands.

In the N. O.. Times-Democrat ofApril 2t 6 - rspt.r:rcoin munication datedOptelousas signed ' A Friend of St.Landry," and which the editor says isfrtim "a pirominent merchant and pub-lic-spirited citizen" of this parish. Thewriter gives a brief account of theshooting in a colored man's house, nearVille Plate, on the night of the 13th,and, referring to the fact that in theirissues next following that date thepapers here had faited to mention thematter, takes occasion to cast slnrs up-on them, which, as far as we are con-cerned, are uncalled-for and altogetherunjustifiable.

The first information that reached usconcerning the matter, while from asource we considered entirely trust-worthy, was nevertheless exclusivelyone-sided, and as we were alko assuredfrom the same source that the matter 3would be promptly and vigrously Iprosecuted and thoroughly gifted, and vthe names of none of the pau ties impli- iicated were given us at the time, we Cconsidered it best to await the result Iof a more complete inquiry, especially Ias other statements were also made by tour informants which we have the best nof reasons for supposing were not in- otended for publication. t

With this preface, and the statement athat the scene of the outrage is situated ii1S or 20 miles from here, we will now dproceed to pay our respects to the t"prominent merchant" and the N. O. ITimes-Democrat. t

We have announced in our paperthat we would furnish stamps and sta-tionery free to all who would send us uthe news of their respective neighbor- thoods; and if the writer had promptly Isent us his letter, instead of sending it tto New Orleans (where he probably usends his subscription, advertising and vjob work), the people of this parish fiwould have been informed of the oc- ecurreuce much sooner and tilhe lecture swhich it contlins would have been iread by tlose to whom it was address- ied But we presume that this " prom- rinent merchant," belongs to that class dof "public spirited citizens" who think Iithat while the local papefhias no claimsto their consideration or suppomt, it isa legitinimate target for their ill-natured dcriticisms whenever, ia- their opinion, iit is not prompt enough in the dis- Icharge of the multitudinous "duties" Iof sentinel, mentor and guide with fwhich an enacting public have seen fit Tto invest it. He probably does not reven subscribe for this paper; but even eif lie does not, he ought to know, if he adevotes any attention to pnblic mat- tters, that our voice has always been draised in defence of law and order, and (that no longer than last fall, when hy-dra-headed anarchy reared its hideousfront in our parish, we were promptand emphatic in exposure and denun- iciation, and, we flatter ourselves, didefficient service in that emergency. We cheard no public commendation fromhim then. Meritorious service in the Ipast, if nothing else, ashoald have!shielded as from his criticism now. I

As to theTimes-Democrat, which ap-parently is catching up with avidityand parades betore its thousands of,readers every contemptible slur on oasit can find, we think it would havebeen more loyal on its part if it had,while disseminatiug these slurs, gently ;hinted?.in its volumineos comments that

ithe CoU~eas's record in emergeneiesof this nature-w~a too well establishedto- require any defenss.

4iiis event V iof at century .Sgo.To-day is not only comnmenorative

of the greatness of the "Father of His('Counti y,' the immortal Washington,but it also is the centenary of the es-tablishment of a: constitti onal form ofgovernment for the United States,hence it is appropriate to briefly coi-sider the progress made during thecentury, as thlie wisdomni of the laws un-der whichi these: huIndred yeal havebeei pas 'ed -cat oInly be determinedIbythe fruits they have borne.

When ion the 30th day of Apiil, 17 9.Washlington took tie oath of oflice asthe tirst President of the Uniled States,the original colonies. which had se•teredtheir connection from the mother cotnitry, were 1-ipoverished by the ;sacrifices,f a long and sanguinary Wtar. Inpopulation the whole thirteen StatesI,mtl'lty exceeded t hi ntumber of people

gathered to-day in the cit3 of NewYork to celebrate tlie centenary of theuatiln's hirthl. To-day the bannerwhich floa ted over the first presidentwhen lie took the oath to uphold theconstitntion--then all untried -wavesover seventy million people, who com-pose the most power lft nation in theworld, as well as the richest in point ofnatlural restOres and in aggregatedpoSsesSiofis.

This is a consuummation the most glo-itons in history, and it records in undy-

ing characters the wisdom of the lawsthat have built up so wonderful a ftb-ric, as well as the patriotism and loveof libetty of the fathers who laid thecorner stone of the edifice. It is there-fore proper that this day should be re-membered with every form of patrioticcqvbration that the ae age can devise, themore so that the past reveals nothingthat tells of decay in the vivifying in-fluences that have developed the coun-try.

In commerce as in all things else theimprovement of t he first hundred yearsof the country's existence has beenphenomenal. According to official re-ports the impolbs of the year 1789reached in value tP t sum of $2:,000,000,and the exports $,t,()0,t0t)0, whilst lastseason commencing with 1889, theywere X73:3,500.000 and $723,500,000respectively. The for~gn commerceof New Orleans alone is annually morethan double that of the whole countrya century ago Take for example theone article of cotton. In the first yearof the country's existence only $58,408worth of the staple was exported, whileat the present time the annual exportsof the same article exceeds in value$200,000,000. This example gives afair idea of the progress that has beenmade in all other industries.

The improvement that has been mnadein methods of transportation are shownby the comparison of the time it tookiWashington to travel from his home atMIt. Vernon in Virginia to New York tobe inaugurated, which was about twoweeks, and the time it took the Wash-ington Artillery to travel from NewOrleans to the metropolis, a distance of1500 miles, which was but a trifle overtwo days. A message that in Washing-ton's day took weeks to reach its desti-niation can now be sent to the confinesof the globe in an instant. Such Arethe changes that a century has mattand of which those that r'itnessed theinauguration of.nJVashingTon no moredreamed than they did of the gteatnessto which their infant government wasdestinejl to ris in so short a space oftimeo.
