The Breaux Bridge Fair Sat urday and Sunday was a big success, and as a first effort reflects great credit upon the people that town. A large number of ot people were in attendance, many of them from Laiayette. There was an interesting parade Saturday afternoon with some eight or ten floats.

The floats were tastefully decorated and attracted much attention. The Smith Western Louisiana Industrial Institute had a float showing articles from the workshop and different departments of the school arranged very attractively The different exhibits were shown in a large hall. Farm products of various kinds, fancy work, school work, numerous specimens of hand-work, and many interesting heirlooms and relics were displayed. The Lafayette Public schools had a fine exhibit of basketry done by the schoolchildren, which caused much favorable comment. The exhibits were decidedly interesting and well repaid a visit.

We think the people of Breaux Bridge may well feel proud of this fair, their first attempt, and invite us to visit another one next year.

When the administration, some months ago, was so outspoki-n in denunciation of the postal frauds tbm brought 'light, and lean nounced the old doctrine "let not a guilty man there were many who doubted its earn es and zeal, and who pre on uju wiai uie posiomce ti es wi uld be allowed to escape It is not usual for an adm, tion to display fjiuch in ex )osing the crookedness of lis own employees, espec i i'j on the eve of a presidential ('lec tion, ine wiiole tiling, we were warned, was a big political bluff.

By denouncing the frauds and declaring his intention to prosecute all the crooks, without re gajd to party or influence. Mr. Roosevelt was enabled to figure as a great reformer, the true representative of the people, one wh i could not be inlluenced or frightened from his duty: while, dropping the cases or con ducting them in such a way let the thieves slip, th rough, the paijty would suffer 'no injury, ijb is becoming more and more" evident that this of. hypocrisy is to be and that the postal exposure was designed for the purpose of Piiahlimr Afr Rmdrnplfc t.ocl.lim' credit for with the unto- standing that the prosecutions-were not to be vigorously pushed- The first postal cases tried, -those of Johns and Miller at Cincinnati, said to to among the strongest, have failed, the jury dis igreeing. This failure has served as an excuse for postponing the other trials, and the important cases against Machen anc the Groff brothers, which were to have come up at Washington Monday, will be postponed at the request of the government, as it announces that it is unprepared.

I The Brooklyn Eagle, after an investigation of matter, declares that the government is weakening and that nothing will come from the postal trials. ThiU, it declares, is the growing sentiment among I the officials of the is true that Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow dsnies that the government is weakening, but the Eagle found a iriirominent Republican lawyer Washington who has taken a leading part in the postal convinced that nothing will be dOne and tha't all 'the cases will be quashed. Ip will be a reijnarkable piece ot political neglect it the Democrats allow frauds to be disposed of in this way without calling attention to the matter, and the) to claim credit for Hjlipere promise to i prosecute the postoftice thieves, which prpmise he has shown no real disposition to carry out. ur line of dress eoods. trim mings, etc.
