the militia of each parish" to quit
their occupations to 60 sogering
and target hunting semi-weekly
without wages. This would be alb
surd. The editor of the Delta would
hardly expect to throw down his
very sagacious, learned aNd patri-
otic pen to shoot at targets every
week simply for nothing. He should
not only be compensated for bis
own personal sacrifices, but how
could the public treasury pay the
public for the loss it would most
certainly sustain? How could we
expect this narrow-minded, flat
headed, soulless people to go right,
when such pens as prick ideas in
to the Daily Delta should be cast
aside, or permitted to rust from
week to week on the editorial ia
BILE ? Why, the press would stop
that great engine Of public power
and deception might rust in such a
condition and the people would
wander about like lost sheep. What
other calamity would follow in this
train? Why, perhaps our great
speecb-makers would quit making
speeches, when they should find
that there is no longer press to
puff them into notoriety and place.
We cannot contemplate these things
without fit of ague creeping over
us for what may follow. About the
investment proposed by the Delta
in shooting irons-will he allow US
to suggest to him the fact that
right here in Uncle Sans Arsenal,
at Baton Rouge, there are arms
and munitions of war enough to
equip. five hundred thousand fight
ing men? We make no doubt that
if Uncle Sam should be advised that
we want them, and be assured that
we would not hurt ourselves with
them, he would loan them to us, as
he placed them here specially for
this purpose. Come, Della, dear,
suggest something else for the Ex-
traordinary Session to do, whilst
we look about us for the most
economical way of doing it.

WHAT THE CALLED SESSION
OUGHT TO DO.

OOrhl III DOs
With this head the New Or
leans Delta proceeds to say briefly
and succinctly what the legisla-
ture about to assemble "ought
to do" and then, in order that its
will may not be mistaken, it pro-
ceeds to say "what it ought not to
do" 1t is a special meeting-an
extraordinary session to meet ex-
traordinary contingencies which
have not and may not arise. Of
course none but extraordinary ques-
tions should be brought forward
such, as by their very nature re-
quire extraordinary speeches to
elucidate. The Delta says:
Its members ought to bury in ut
ter oblivion, all political differences,
and consult calmly together, in a
spirit equally patriotic and states
manlike.
Had the writer wiped his pen
Just here, no one would disagree
from him even for argument sake;
which in wordy weather like this,
is all that great takers want to
set them to going like clocks; but
the Della continues:
at (the extraordinary SESSION.
ought to pass law for the imme-
date draft of one-fourth of the mill
tia of each parish, for the purpose
of being drilled (in the parish)
semi-weekly or weekly.
1t should provide them with arms,
of the latest improved kinds, and
plenty of ammunition for target
firing"
That's a very excellent sugges-
ton as far as it goes, but our boys
would like to have a small sum at
their disposal, to provide for such
contingencies as are incident to
target shooting. We have no OBJ
lection to the measure-there is no
amusement more harmless than tar
get shooting, and if funds to buy
the most improved kinds of arms
can be had, and ammunition furn-
ished, without issuing more State
bonds, or promises to pay, then
for one say we, go ahead gen
tlemen and pass the bill with all
convenient dispatch. But there is
one other consideration in connec,
ton with this subject, which ought
to be considered before million or
so is appropriated from unexpend-
ed balances not in the treasury;
the people already find it quite
onerous to pay the interest on bonds
already outstanding; we are on the
eve of a financial crisis. when it
will be hard to find purchasers of
bonds-a difficulty which will be
considerably augmented, when mo-
ney-lenders begin to discover that
Louisiana, like South Carolina, is
about to resume a sovereignty she
never had, and in her new position
may take a notion to repudiate her
debts, after the fashionable chris
tian manner. When the State re-
sumes the sovereignty she never
had; the individual sovereign may
say also, II repudiate" and then
the armed militia may find employ
ment in aiding the tax collectors
to collect the taxes which will be
needful to hold the oflice-holders to-
gether in that bond of union which
constitutes government. The Delta
can hardly expect "one-fourth of
