The Democratic Press.
iMarksville Bulletin. |

Tt has always appeared strange TO us
that the Democratic party ON coming
into power instead OF encouraging and
fostering its press, should have crippl-
ed and IN number of cases crushed it.
The Republicans were wiser politicians
than we are--they understood the Sc.
cret of political success, and though
they were lavish in their favors to their
journals. still it Indicated that they un-
defstood the power and utility of well
organized public press. With MS it is
entirely different. Our public men are
no sooner elected to high and RESPONSE
BILE positions, and this through the inhu-
ence of news papers, than their ideas of
reform suggest heavy and killing blows
at the press. Monstrous monopolies
remain nndisturbed, gigantic swindles
are ignored. questionable transactions
go unpunislaed, and the great reformer
of to-day comes down with a swoop and
blightimg hand upon the poor printer,
who of all men stands out pure and
patriotic. The history Of this State for
the past fifteen years is proof sufficient
that the Louisiana editor is n man OF
honor and of integrity. During the
dark and corrupting days of radicalism,
when men OF all classes and of different
avoeations allowed themselves to be
tempted, the Democratic editors of this
State remained firm and true to their
political faith. Not one of them bar
tered his principles fer Office or sold
his opinions for gold. Their mission
was to redeem the State, and how well
they have accomplished this task the
people know and do admit. They have
succeeded, the people are free, and
shonld representatives now cripple the
arm that strnck such powerful l,.ows
for them ? Away with any legislation
that would starve ont such an honor
| able set of men.

A Lawyers Worst Client.

Carelessness in the execution of will.
seems to be predesanate. Josiah Bacon
who was murdered in San francisco
last year, left win which has been re-
fused probate in Massachusetts, because
it has not the legal number of y witnesses,
three being required, and this instru.
ment having only two. Yet Mr.. Bacon
was a regularly educated lawyer, who
knew the rule as well as he knew his A
b c. He himself wrote the will, and at
tended to its execution. The old saw
about a man who acts as his own lawyer
has thus an additional confirmation.
A great many lawyers wills drawn by
themselves have been set side, the only
explanation of the fact being creditable
to them-that is, that they do not take
as much pains for themselves as they
would for their clients.

The pedestrian mania Is undoubtedly weak

New Notwithstanding matches-an they
are now all the rage. The women have, Of
course, taken foremost part In the matter
and number or swimming matches between
women have already taken place. The amuse-
ment Is more rational and sensible than
pedesrrIanism, as swimming can be put to
some practical use but the time chosen for
the Inauguration Of this sport, the chilly
month Of September, is rather late Ia the
