The various political organizations of this
city have recently demanded from the Regis
trar Of Voters representation at the polls to
the extent II complied with, Of totally ex-
Guiding the Democrats. We understand that
the Registrar informed these organizations,
through their respective committees, that,
under the most liberal construction OF the
law, the Democrats and Republicans alone
would be entitled to representation. Swift
following after this, the Republicans, having
no ticket in the field and hitherto silent, Off
cially demanded representation through their
State Central Executive Committee.
Now can it be possible that there exists q
community Of interests and q concert of
action between all the organizations outside
of the Democratic ranks? Can we not be
enlightened In advance of the election as to
the exact political status of those organza-
tions of recent birth whose prayerful soicita-
tions are SO persistently urged upon the

COL. PATTON AND THE CITIZENS
COMMITTEE.

The Citizens Committee, In their answer TO
Col I. W. Pattons letter declining the nomi-
nation for Mayor on their ticket because Of
| its antagonism to the Democratic and Con-
servative ticket, use this extraordinary Ian
guage:
We regret exceedingly that In the pending
| election for municipal and paroehlal offices,
In which there is not single political issue In,
volved. nor indeed any question of a political
selection Of honest and Intelligent men Sn for the
control OF our purely local affairs that you
| have seen fit to decline the suffrages Of the or
ganzation which We represent we'll as the
| votes of those who approve our course and CO.
operate with us, embracing large number Of
our citizens.
| And yet the Citizens Committee have is
sued full ticket for Senators and Represent
| atives, all Of whom, IL elected, will be called
upon to elect United States Senator to till
the seat of Senator EustIs, whose term will
expire in March next, and possibly the seat OF
| W. ?. Kellogg, who may be ousted in due
course.
1s not this political issue? Does it not in
volve question Of the purest political nature?
When the Citizens Committee nominated O.
full Legislative ticket they entered by deed the
political arena, and they are to that extent 8
political party. Members of the House and
Senate are not municipal or parochial officers
rs styled by the Citizens Committee: they are
elected to fill and discharge political trusts.
They are not officers in any sense of the term
either at law or in common parIance. Theirs
Is high political trust not only as bearing
on Federal relations, but also as embracing
s4atttefs 7g State Stat legislation
The Citizens Committee would not stultify
themselves by saying that it does not signify
who is q Senator or a Representative, pro-
vided he be "an honest and Intelligent man.
They must feel that something more depends
upon the choice of o good Senator or Repre-
sentative, and practically they acknowledge
that this does involve g. political issue.
The Democratic Conservative party did
not, as stated by tho committee In the same
letter from which we have quoted, borrow
from them the title of "Cbnseruatire." That
was its appelatlon in the first election had
after the war, In 1865. That appeIlation has
been inscribed on it's banners at every cleo
tion since that time, and it is under that
appellation that during ten years struggle
the great old party has fought the battles Of
Louisiana against reconstruction and Radi-

A distinguished historical character OF this
country has just passed away. Rear Admiral
Paulding, the senior flag officer on the retired
list of the United States navy, died at his
home in Huntington, Long Island, on Sunday
last The Admiral came Of old Revolutiona-
ry stock and entered the naval service Of his
country at an early age where he continued
for fifty years. In 1862 he was promoted to
the rank Of Rear Admiral He was native
Of Westchester, in the State of New York.
He was attached to fCom. Chauncey's squad
ron on Lake Ontario during the war with
Great Britain. During the battle at PIatts-
burg Bay he was detailed for duty on board
the Ticonderoga. In 1916 he was made q lieu
tenant, and, after serving on the Indepen-
dence and Prometheus, he, In 1818 joined the
Macedonian and made a four years cruise to
the Pacific. He held various commands dur

South, but did not make great name during
that terrible conflict, perhaps for want Of op-

The Rev, William Lloyd, pastor of the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, New
York city, has recently affirmed his belief In
the existence of a spirit world. But that Is
nothing new for an orthodox Presbyterian
clergyman. The question to-day is: Do the
spirits communicate with those they have
left behind in this world? Mr., Lloyd does
not appear to go any farther than his breth-

having taken place atColumbus, in that State,
on October q. He was a brother of Gen,
Rosecrans of the army, and one Of the most
eminent of the higher clergy of his church In

of the strength, resources and characteristics
of the Afghans and of the East Indian govern

-Four OF the richest men of San Francisco
and the Pacific slope have died during the
present year and left about fifty millions OF
dollars behind them. This immense sum has
been distributed equally or unequally among
heirs and legatees, and made hundreds of
people happy. The deceased millionaires
were Mark Hopkins, William S. OBrien,
Michael Reese, and David D. Cotton. Their
wealth will now percolate through many

The Republicans and Nationals have at last
opened the campaign in the parishes. The
registration books Of Grant parish have been
stolen, and tis thought thatno election can be
held in consequence. This is simple means
of defeating Democratic majority. 1t is not
unusual for the Radicals Of Louisiana to re-

posed that the new party would SO soon be-
