THERE has been q great deal of vague
talk about the battalions of Union SOL
diers now serving in the subordinate
positions about the State Capitol and
appointed thereto by Gov. Bishop.
The most careful search, however, has
revealed just two men among the
many new appOintees who make any
claims to having served in the Union
army, and the military record of one
of them will not bear too minute an
inspection. 1t is true the Governor

THE last hope the Louisiana Re
turning Board had Of having fair tri.
al Is gone. Judge Bradley has deci-
ded adversely to their petition that
their cases might be transferred to the
United States Court, and they will
now go through the formality of being
heard by jury already determined to
find them guilty in spite of all the ev
idence In Louisiana. The ground Of
his opinion that nothing in the Louisi-
ana jury law conflicts with the civil
rights bill, and the alleged unfair exc
cution of that law does not furnish a
basis for interference, is in harmony
with other decisions by Bradley on the
civil rights act.

THEpay of the prison guards hav-
Ing been fixed at $50 per month, Mr..
Hitchcock offers proviso that no off
Ger or employee should be removed for
refusing to help on the ship of state by
contributions for campaign purposes
This was adopted by the Democratic
House last Friday, but nights re
Election presented the matter in an :
other aspect, and the following day, on
motion of Ross Alexander, the Bel
mont county 'Civil Service Reformer,"
the Hitchcock amendment was wiped
out and the guards salaries raised to
$50 per month. Thus, the Hon. Alex
ander is instrumental in putting ten
: dollars per month extra, out of the
State Treasury, into the pockets OF the

understanding that it shall be drawn
upon as a war fund by the Demo
cratic managers who have control o.

ANYTHING that damages the gener-
al business of the country Is injurious
to the interests of the workingman:
What he wants is employment at good
wages. Business men and capitalists
have to employ him. If business and
capital are alarmed or agitated, or in
any way thrown out OF gear, all, labor
is correspondingly damaged. Tinker
ing the currency always disturbs ousl-
ness and alarms capital. Congress Is
thus doing at this moment ell that II
can to increase the sufferings OflabOr-
ing people. aI 1t is diminishing employ
1nent by increasing the uncertainties OF
trade and business; and it is reducing
the laborer's pay by making cheap
dollars to pay him in. These dollars
are now worth so cents, and may soon
be worth only rs cents.-N. X. Sun,
