Another FIOp.

In the course of human events, the poten-
tial influence of the REPUBLICAN has again
manifested itself; for to editorials in this
paper is owing the retiracy of Mr. L. H.
Gardner from the position of president of
the Picayune Publishing Company, who is
succeeded by Mr.. John Phelps. This
change in the management of the Picayat,se
has led to the withdrawal of Mr.. D. G. Dun
can, the English editor of the Bee, from
that journal, it is stated, who will become
an editorial writer on the Picaylne. Mr..
Duncan strikes trenchant blows, in what
ever direction he may deal them. 1t is un-
derstOod that Mr. Halsey, formerly of the
Picay,eoe, will take the place of Mr.. Dun
can on the Bee.
The changes in the business, editorial and
political management of the Picayle'ae are
SO rapid and sudden that the public would
be no more surprised at its advocacy of
Grant for President than if it were to urge
the nomination of straight-Out Democratic
national ticket. The ways of Providence
are mysterious, but the ways of the once
conservative Picayatne are more mysteri-
Ous,
