AN INDEPENDENT PRESS.

The late typographical unpleasantness
found the REPUBLICAN prepared for any
emergency. The gentlemen of the Union
had put the Office in the most scrupu-
lousy neat condition before they said
" farewell, and if forever" to the RE-
PUBLICAN. So that when certain of our
editorial staff determined to keep the
pot bilin'" they had nothing to do ex-
cept to take off their coats and assume
the composing stick. We felt a just
pride in this. There were Americans pre-
pared for any need. They could write
editorial and stick it, or like the late Mr..
Greeley, could stick it out of their own
heads without writing it at all. 1t was
splendid sight, those gentlemen under
the flaming gas, picking among the lower

informally agreed that each editor should
get up his own matter. Our local led of

and six barges burned.' This explosion

was supposed, would be copied extern

rapidly as was desirable, and the sugges-

put ION few more hands, if to be had.
At this juncture there came friend con-

cause of the unintermitted publication of
its central organ, came to announce that

THE TROUBLE AMONG THE PRINTERS

THE TROUBLE AMONG THE PRINTERS,
When the harmony that should exist in
well ordered newspaper establishment
is disturbed by disagreement between the
proprietors and employees the public be-
come Immediately aware of the exact
locality OF the loose screw. If the regular
working of the machinery becomes i'm
possible by "strike" the public suffers a
loss as well as the paper. The rupture
which was caused by the resolution of the
proprietors of the four daily papers to pay
no more than fifty cents per thousand
ems deprived the subscribers of two Of
them OF even glimpse of their titles for
two days, and reduced those of the RE-
PUBLICAN and Bee to very short commons.
indeed. As it ended yesterday afternoon
by an agreement to pay and accept sixty
cents, the damage done was not very
serious.
When, on March 6, it was agreed that
the condition Of things in newspaperdon
was such as would not warrant the pay
ment of more than fifty cents, the pro-
prletors thought, considering the times,
the typos would accept it, and INDUCED in
that expectation for two weeks. The
Union, however, thought otherwise and
adhered to their price of sixty-fve cents
until Sunday. We presume that the
proposition which they agreed to make on
that day, of sixty cents, was the result of
moderate counsels and a desire to serve
the public in harmony with their employ
ers. The latter, not considering this re-
duction sufficient, chose to do without the
services of their former hands, hoping
that they would make further reduction
or, that help would come from without.
Matters remained in this condition Mon
day and Tuesday.
Whether an obstinate persistence ON
the part of the publishers would in time
have enabled them to obtain a further

which will present weekly claims for con-

Mr.. +. 5. Caro-. This issue contains long and
interesting account Of the christening of a
new bell of st. Thomas Church, Of which
Father A. 3. Langlois has been pastor for
seven years. Every pew of the beautiful
church was filed, when Father A. H.
Mignot, formerly Of the cathedral Of this
city, delivered the opening address, assisted
by Rev. Fathers Langlois and Louis Ozan
The bell was christened Theresa, the name
being selected by Father Langlois in
memory OF his mother. Edmond Martin,
Mrs. Alphonsine Martin, Theodore Laus-

Mrs. Victoria Dragon, Captain Vincent
Wood and Miss Aline Maury were it's

Personal,

One by one our friends of the late Leg
islatuie have taken their departure 70,
their homes and last night Mr.. James S
Mathews, of Tensas, called to bid us good
by. In the last session Mr.. Mathe rs
deservedly held a prominent position among
the leaders of the House and was one OF
the very few members who could ALWAYS
command its attention. His position as
chairman of the Committee on Railroads
was an important one, but his best service
was as Speaker pro TEN during the latter
part of the session. For fifteen DAYS he
presided, in consequence of the severe i'll
ness of Mr.. Lowell and retained in that
arduous position the esteem he won by his
conduct on the floor. Mr.. Mathews las
been member of the Leg islature for six
years and his course during that time has
been such as to lead US to hope his consti-
tuents will indorse him as their choice for
another term.
