theatre. Blue Beard and the Prince fight
with small swords to the sound of appro-
pirate music. They waltz round each
other at such distance as renders mis-
Chief impossible, and having rested to
take glass of wine from the same salver,
set to again. One is reminded, also, of
another dramatic example: "Thou know
est my old ward, Hal? Thus I lay, and
thus bore myself" all of which may be
seen in the personation Of Falstaff by Ben
DeBar of comical memory. But the
present controversy may 60 on while
it shall be terminated by the demise of
one OF the parties, or of the subject Of
controversy. Thus far there has been
not the slightest excuse for any personal
collision, if we except one rather serious
lmputation. One Of the combatants
having been in the constant employment
of term Of political reproach for which
he has not at the moment any professional
use, hurls the epithet at the head of the
respected conductor of the Pic, just as an
Infatuated Indian might dash his toma-
hawk against foe. The epithet charges
that the proprietor of the Pic is de .facto
and a 'usurpation." What is to come of
this departure from the proper terms of the
code can not be predicted. 1t may, we
trust, be explained away without blood
she'd.
In the meantime we invoke the atten-
ton of the DULLES of the West and the
blackguards Of every region to the COM
exchanges of abuse and impu-
tation now on exhibition by our New Or
lean papers Of the people. Let all con-
form their demeanor to that of the COM
batants and those CHASTITY ARRAYS which
have so disturbed the profession will be
unknown.

LOUIsIANA's DEFENDER IN THE SENATE

L0U1s1ANA'S DEFENDER IN THE SENATE.
There is one brave man, ever ready to
stand up for Louisiana in the United
States Senate. This brave defender of
our rights and honor is Senator West
Would to heaven that We had another like
him, or, if that may not be, then one to
hold up his hands while he is advocating
our cause. In the debate which took
place on Monday, on Carl Schurz' reso-
luton, and in which General West took
part, he scattered the fiimsy arguments
and unfounded assertions of Schurz,
Thurman, Upton ct id genus omne to frag-
ments.
His resutation of the idea that the
President or anybody else in the Repub-
lican party desired to subvert the consti-
tuition and erect military despotism was
at once complete and effective. Said the
Senator, "Any effort to make the people
of this country believe that, was about
the ARREST bubble that ever filed an
empty head or a head overcrowded with
ambition"
Mr.. Thurman has somehow got it into
his head that seventy-one votes were cast
when Mr.. Witt was declared elected
Speaker. Senator West replied that this
is an error, as only ffty-eight votes were
cast
Both Senators are in the wrong if they
intend to imply that there was an official
count. The whole business was trans
acted by Reclamation" At the outset
there were but fifty Dem ocrats present,
against fifty-two Republicans, and nothing
that was done during the preliminary pro-
ceedings changed the relative strength of
the opposing parties. Mr.. Witt could
not have been elected temporary Speaker
by the fifty against the higher number of
The Republican members The five con-
.estants could not have been seated by the
ooisterous acclaims of the minority, and
inally when a roll call was ordered
here could have been no more Democrats
present than there were on the previous
occasions when the clerk was not per-
nitted to call the roll. And if we count |
he five non-members there were but fifty
i've Democrats all told. The Democrats
contend that this number is not quorum
# the House,
Mr.. Thurman has since been informed
y the withdrawal of the Democrats that
hey have no such number as stated by
i'm, since that would secure them un-
oubted control Of the House, and there
7ould be no need for them to 20 off on a
trike and neglect their legislative duties.
We entirely agree with Senator West as
, the character be gives the file leaders
nd ward club directors. If he is to
hoose between thieves and murderers, he
ould prefer the former, though he denies
lat the Republican party is amenable to
lie ibelous imputa:ion cast upon it by its
enemies.

inquired his honor of the Detroit police
court, as boy named William Barron,
aged seventeen, came out.
No answer.
Bub, you are charged with loafing,
being drunk and disturbing the peace, -
continued the court.
Bub" looked up Indignantly. He
had commenced to coax out a mustache,
chewed tobacco, carried pistol, and he
had an idea that he was full grown
man.
II have no doubt of your guilt" con-
tinued his honor, "but shall not send
you up. They have ne nursing bottles
up there-no cradles-no one to get up
in the night and give you catnip tea. /
know you have the idea that you are a
man, and / presume your parents have
lost control of you, but you are only a
child in the eyes of the law. II you
wsre child of mine should spank you
and tie you into high chair for an hour
or two, but as you are not / shall send

The Book Agent Plague.

When he got to Webster City, the
traveller didn't understand at first why
all the doors were locked, the first-story
shutters barred, and no sign of life in
sight, save few frightened eyes looking
fearfully through the half turned slat Of
the attic blinds, and an occasional dog
that peeped cautiously forth from under
a porch to growl and dive back again
into obscurity but when he turned n
corner and came suddenly upon six
female book agents trying to climb up a
lightning rod TO an open window on the
second story, he took it all in, and with
the speed and silence of unmanly terror,
fled for the woods. But they pursued
him with hideous howls and talked him
to death on the run, finishing him up in
Just mile and three quarters. Time,

The Wits OF the Press.

"Gen. Sheridan was married in his
spurs. This was grave error on his
part, for now he will go the rounds of
the funny paragraphists somewhat after
this sort. The Boston advertiser will
remark that it was proper he should
have his spurs at a bridal. The Chicago
Tribune will probably contradict the
rumor, asserting that it has not a bit of
truth. The Detroit Free Press will
hope that the general will curb his tenn.
per better than when he was a sir-single
and not pommel any of his wife's rela-
tions. The Rochester Democrat will in
sist that these remarks are calculated to
make the groom feel saddley. But the
Boston Post will exclaim: What boots
it Why stirrup such a commotion.
And then then the lesser wits will buckle
into the work and use up the entire har-
ness.-HarJord Courant.

A Long While on its Travels.

The Danville IN. Y.) advertiser says
that on May %, of this year, Moses
George, of that village, a veteran of the
war of 1912, who has passed his eightieth
year, extracted from his groin a bullet,
which was buried there by the rifle of an
Indian at the battle of Chippewa, on the
9TH day of July, 1915. The bullet struck
the inside Of the right leg near the groin
as the soldier was wheeling into line, and
badly shattered the thigh bone. The
bullet weighs a full half ounce and is
concave on one side, showing the i'm
press of the bone which it struck. 1t is
somewhat blackened, but beneath thin
coating the lead is as pure and bright as
it was over half century ago. The limb
has shortened siA inches or more, and
below the thigh and reaching nearly to
the knee is thickly SCARED, where pieces
of shattered bone, over fifty in all, from
time to time, worked out. The bullet
did not return by its original entrance,
but came to the surface about four inches
above, and was taken out by the veteran
himself without the aid of instruments.
