Supreme Court Decision in the
Anderson Case.

In the case of the State VS.. Tbos.
c. Anderson. appealed from the Su.
perior Criminal Court Of the Parish
If Orleans. the SupreAe Cour,
last Mondav, reversed the decision Of
the lower court upon the grounds
that the prosecution was detective.
stating that the Vernon parish elcc.
ton returns were not public ducu-
ment, aud ordering Anderson released.
This virtually ends the prosecution 81
far as the other three members of the
Returning Board are concerned.
HAYES is quoted a, saying that the
whole country would applaud this ac-
lion Of the Supreme Court as pairi-
otto and in the interest Of concilialion
We hope that they were not actua,ed
by auv such consideration. not that
We are opposed TO the principles OF
patriotism or tie d. sire for concilia-

should be paramount TO all other con-
sidera,iOns, not even excepting the

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
Contributed by Ladies of Washington Temper
ance Union.l
on which Side.

On which side am I? On the temper
ance side, of course! Don't l always tell
people I am a temperance man, and in
favor of temperance? OF course you do:
but are you temperance man? 1t is one
thing to say you are temperance man
and another thing to be one. 1t is one
thing to be a temperate man, but far diff
ferent thing to be a temperance man.
Many people suppose that because they
are temperate men that they are there
fore temerance men. He knows too well
what he is selling to be fool enough to
drink iG himself. He's temperate man
but not a temperance man. Now, friend,
you boast that you are temperance man.
Come, now, be honest, are you anything
more than merely temperate man?
Because man is temperate it is no
A man is practically on the side to which
he gives effective help. Suppose you don't
drink a drop, suppose you don't believe
in it, but You say if a man wants to sell,
let him sell and so you vote that he have a
license, which side receives the most effec-
tive help from you? Why the liquor side,
of course! You are temperate man, but
you vote to let man sell liquor and that
is a vote to put temptation in the path of
men; that temptation will overcome many
and many will by it be made drunkards.
Some of the drunkards will squander their
property, become public criminals and
leave their families to be supported at pub
lie expense. You are temperate man, but
your vote, which is a practical and effec-
tive force, went in favor of liquor selling,
in favor of property squandering, in favor
of criminality, in favor of increased taxa
ton. Can you have the face any longer
to call yourself temperance man? Can
you doubt any longer as to which side
you are on?
Do you ask what a temperance man is
Well, he's man who does not drink liq-
uors of any kind. He's man who votes
against liquor selling; he votes against
putting temptation in the way of men;
he votes, therefore, against drunkard
making, against property squandering,
against criminal making, against pauper
making. He is thus not only temperate
man, but all his practical, effective power
is directed against intemperance and all
its results. He don't talk republieanism
and vote democracy. He has no doubt as
to which side he is on. The liquor traffic
know he is against them, and they vote
against him every time.
The judgment will be a true revealer-
What will it show you to have been, a
temperate man or a temperance man?
On which side! On which side =

only playing eroquet. You charged me
especially to try and make things agreea-
bic to the boarders, did you not?''
This was on Monday. On Tuesday Mrs.
Pensico went fishing with the three men.
Pensico might have gone too-perhaps-
but that the boat was capable of holding
but four.
On Wednesday there was a picnic up
the river, to which Mr.. Smith invited
Mrs. Pensico. On Thursday Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Brown had a ''camp out'' in the
woods, of which Mrs. PensicO and one.
Mrs. Tomlinson, of the neighborhood.
formed an indispensable accompaniment.
On Friday Mr.. Brown undertook to lay
out Mrs. Pensico's verbena bed in true
landscape gardening STYLE On Saturday
it rained, and Mr.. Jones, who was con-
sidered an elocutionist, read poetry alone
to Mrs. Pensico, while she darned the
family hose. On Sunday Mr.. Smith drove
Mrs. Pensieo to church ten miles away,
in an elegant little buggy, with long
tailed horse.
''This is getting intolerable,'' said Mr..
Pensico.
And he wished he hadn't written that
advertisement.
But this was nothing to his ehagrin on
the next day, when he found Mr. Smith
sitting out under the apple trees with his
arm around SyIvia's waist.
''Sir!" thundered Mr.. Pensico.
''Eh?" said the boarder.
''Leave my premises!'' said the ex-gro-
Ger.
''I've just paid a weeks board in ad-
vance," suggested Mr.. Smith.
''Take back your wretched dross :" bel
lowed Mr.. PensieO, fiingrng roll of bills
on the grass. $50! Depart! Lose no
time; take those other two young men
with you. Pm sick of boarders.''
And so the three young men departed.
When once the garden gate closed be-
hind them, Mr.. Pensico elevated his right
arm theatrieally in the air:
ssNever-never will I receive another
boarder into my family said he. Gas
for you, false wife,
''No, but is it Honor bright about tle
boarders ?'' interrupted Mrs. Pensico, with
sparkling eyes.
''I swear it by yonder cerulean blue"
said Mr.. Pensico, who had just been read
ing "St. Elmo.''
sFCertain sure?' said Mrs. Pensice.
Certain sure,'' said her husband.
''In that case" said Mrs. Pensico, 'FI
may as well tell you now as any time that
John Brown and Ferdinand Jones are my
cousins, and that Charlie Smith is my
brother.''
s'Eh?' gasped Mr.. Penslco. ''Was it
was it a conspiracy ?''
''They wanted board in the country"
said Mrs. Pensico, ''and you wanted
boarders.''
A heavy weight seemed to be lifted
from Mr.. Pensico's heart as he remem-
bered the arm around Sylvia's waist. So
it was only her brother. And little Syl-
via hadn't been playing the married firt
after all.
'FMy dear,'' said he. 'fyeu're mischiev-
Gus little girl, but forgive you. And
guess Wen give up the boarding bust
ness"
Which was all that Mrs. Pensico want
ed.
''I was determined to conquer him.
thought she, "and have done it."

Obedience

Boys, the habit of obeying at once is
one of the best habits in the world. It
makes prompt, active, energetic business
men. Why, it is the "now at once, right
on,'' that leads all the work in the world,
and gets the pay for it, too. A boy that
is prompt and ready will be just the boy
that will get recommended for place in
a store, or an Office, and when he gets the
place he will keep it until he gets pro-
NOTED, till finally he becomes a member
of the firm, and finally its manager. All
this because he is on hand, ready, and
prompt; sees what needs to be done, and
is ready to do it.

When Major Townsend, with the con-
tempt of brave soldier for sneaks, offer
ed an amendment to the bill to reorganize
the Soldiers Orphans Home, prescribing
That "no unpardoned deserter or bounty
jumper shall be employed in any office in
that institution," Speaker Neal was quick
to detect the application and refused to
entertain the amendment, for no other
possible reason than because the amend
ment pointed with the distinctness of
fnger-board to the author of the bill.
Now it is fair question for the debating
societies whether the action of the Speak
er was so much of a kindness to O'ConnOr

AM hear a humble bardie's quest
Then grant it. if you deem it best
But dinna startle in surprise
Should this request require your ayes,
An much fear ere its granted
Your noes most likely will be wanted;
But when ye have great ends in view
Yen deem such offerings sma' an few.
Il ask that yonder curse, anent
The public good, called per cent,
Be stricken from our interest laws
"A lengthy strikein Mercy's cause
when on the stump right well ye ken
Zach claimed to be the poor mans frien',
Now show yourself his champion firm,
An dinna wFiggle, crawl and squirm
Fore MammOn's slave, but take your stan
AM gle it to 'em ham DER ham,
WI sleeves above your elbows rolled,
Wake those old Legislative has.
Preach for the poor mans cause,
An keep the maxim aye in sight,
What helps the poor man helps the right
''This favor granted, claim a friend in
'Yours truly, G. T. TOWNSEND"
E'WARREN, o March, 1s7s.''
