And in the same spirit, though not
approbatory of the plan, is the following,
from the Corinth News:

The editors and publishers of Missouri
recently met in convention, and passed
resolutions setting forth that newspaper
office is a business establishment, in which
editors and publishers make their living !;
that a man has as much right to order a
sack of coffee from a grocer, legal opinion
from lawyer, or a coffin from an under
taker without intending to pay for it as he
has to expect gratuitous services from a
newspaper; that al personal and politi-
cal matter, having for its object the pro-
motion of Individual fortunes or ambi-
tions, should be treated as other business
matters; that dead-heading, political,
personal and commercial, is played
OUT" and that any editor who fails to
carry out the spirit of these resolutions
shall cease to be member of the Mis-
souri, Association All of which was
sensible and Just and bnsiness-like.

A ferment was created in New York re-

the Incident quite suggestive one to those
who suppose that our prejudices are diving

SO it seems that New York indigna-

cause few colored men were put to

fact suggests the inquiry, what would re-

were to wake up some fine morning and
discover the Legislative department,
part of the Executive, and not few OF

The CLARION has maintained silence about
the Beauregard UniIication movement III
Louisiana, except to make mention OF it.
Some OF our contemporaries jump Ia the
conclusion, rather swiftly We think, that
The CLARION endorses it. THE CLARION
can, if it choose, answer for itselt.-Me-
ridlau Mercury.
The CLARION has neither endorsed nor
condemned the action of Gen. Beaure-
gard and other Louisianians. 1t has
pointed to it as one of the signifi-
cant movements of the times, the neces-
sity of which, in the opinion of It's au-
thors, has been brought about by the an
archy and misfortune into which Radical
misrule has plunged the State. The
CLARION will hold infexibly to the doc
trine that the people of each community
are the proper managers of their own af-
fairs, and that Louisianians can Judge
better what the exigency of their condi-
ton requires than other people can judge
for them. The time-honored creed of
our party forbids the interference of one
set of people with the business of an
other. Its violation by Northern fanatics
brought all the troubles of the past on the
country. Our opinion of the course Mis-
sissippi should adopt has been fully ex-
pressed on all questions that have been
presented and as we value the right
which belongs to every community to
manage its own affairs, We will resent
the intermeddling of others with ours.
The Louisiana Unifcation is strictly the
affair of those who have entered into it.
AS to Generals Beauregard, Hays and
Gibson, we can say with the Corinth
News, they "have fought their way to
!" have an opinion of their own" and we
will maintain their right to utter it.

Commenting on the action of sO-called

the Washington authorities that with the
aid of federal bayonets he has succeeded
in wringing 1926, 900 from the impover-

Tribune remarks that this is matter
solely of State concern, and that there is
no law compelling Governors of States
to notify the Department of Justice of
the ebb and flow of State finances. The
iubilant Governor addresses his commu-
nication TO the AttorneyGeneral Of the

logg" government is simply federal
usurpation of the rights of the people of

place in any Democratic or Conservative
platform, State or National, and we sup
pose never will The social question had
better be left to regulate itself according
to the unerring laws of nature, which no
human enactment can nullify or set
aside. The cases in which the distinc-

The duel between Col. Rhett, of the
Picayunc, and Judge Cooley, Of the New
Orleans bar, in which the latter was
killed, is subject of general comment
by the press. They fought in Hancock
county, Mississippi. with double barrel
shot-guns loaded with ball, at forty PAGES.
Both principals bore themselves with
GOODNESS and courage. The fight grew
out of the prosecution of the Picayune
Company for libel, in stating that one
Hawkins, of the Bogus-Kellogg return
ing election board, who was appointed q
Judge in one of the districts, IS was a
/" bastard judge of bastard court, ere
/" ated by bastard Legislature. The
jury was packed to find verdict for
Hawkins. Cooley was one of Hawkins
lawyers, and in the prosecution of the
case abused the privileges of his profess
sion by unsparing denunciation of the
managers of the Picayune. This led to
reply from Col. Rhett, which was fol.
lowed by personal card from Cooley
and next a challenge from Rhett, and a
duel with fatal result to his assailant-
A vast deal of mawkish sensibility
and maudlin morality have been dis
played over the manner of settling the
dispute. Some have called it murder, u
others an atrocious crime, and all that
kind of thing. Now, the chief matters
to be considered are the causes which
led to the combat. If fight was ne
cessary, it is idle to say that it was not
better for the peace of the community
that it should take place OH terms OF
equality, in secluded spot, remote from
the thoroughfares of a crowded city,
where the lives of innocent persons
would have been endangered. That
difficulties will occur 50 long as man is a
victim of the frailties and passions
which belong to his nature, is selfevi-
dent; and there is no better method OF
restraining them than the higher law of
personal responsibility. 1t is the only
| safeguard of honorable men from The
assaults of blackguards and poltroons,
and since this law must be executed at
times in some form, it were better that
it be enforced in the mode of equal
and honorable warfare adopted by the
New Orleans combatants.
While we regret that the affair mas
had tragical ending, We must say that
our sympathies were with Col. Rhett and
the cause which he has so bravely up
held. The principle involved, and which
he has shown his willingness to die in
maintaining, was the right of the press
freely to scrutinize and to comment upon
the conduct of public agents. 1t was a
good cause. nobly championed, and We
rejoice that God, in defending the right,
has spared his life for continued service
in the profession which he is one Of its
ablest defenders AMI truest representa-
