Twill be taken into consideration. Mr.. Estel-
lette, of st. Landry, arrived in the city yes
terday, aud will in future take part in the

Extra Session Talk.
There is considerable quiet talk going on
in the ranks Of the faithful about the extra
session.
They are very suspicious and look for a
coup detat by the Democrats, aided and abet-
ted by Kellogg.
They do not like KelIogg's actions. He, as
well as his best man, the tidy Auditor, have
been too independent of late and it worries
them.
They argue that Kellogg has gone back on
the Crowd, and especially the dark-hued part
Of the Crowd, and is working in this compro-
mise business for the benefit of Kellogg
alone. They say that he appreciates the fact
that the faithful have had abou. enough OF
him, and when the time for tarns comes
again, he will be overlooked, that he has all
along been "laying out" in Washington and
elsewhere all that the Office brought him in
for the purpose of keeping the Office, and
that now he wants to lay by little for Kel
logg, and to this end. he wishes to get rid CT
the necessity of having Congressional hackers,
and the only way to do that is to gain the
recognition and support of the Conservatives,
and for this he is working.

The Grand Jury continued its Investigation
yesterday into the recent individual legisla-
ton by the boss men of the Crowd. 1t is
understood that all the witnesses have been
examined.
The term Of the jury expires on Monday,
and their finding, if they have any, will 70
donbt be presented to-day.
shifting the Responsibility.
Kellogg and Clinton ara still engaged in
their little game Of 'pass." The responsibility
Of the changes in that General Appropriation
bill is still bling transferred by the one to the
other to the great amusement of the specta-
tors. First X liogg staggers under ii: and
back he sends it to Clinton.
They have tried to bring in others in this
little performance, but have not Us yet sue
ceeded. They passed it over in the direction
of the clerks who copied the bill, but it fell
short, and people interested in the little game
became disguised with the weak and cowardIy
attempt to get rid OF it, and again placed it
between them, and again the pass COM
menced.
Then the two officials put it over toward
Deslonde's Office, and the police were in.
structed to look for somebody to pick it up
and shoulder it, but the police kept away
from it, and again it was sent back to Clinton
and Kellogg, and now these two are looking
around for some one to throw it at.
1t is to be hoped that the Grand Jury will
be able to step in and wind up this little
game and place the responsibility where it
belongs.
