THE decaying concern which will pub
lish yesterdays news this evening, Stun
bled yesterday on an EDITORIAL topic. A
superserviceable lawyer had filed motion
in court asking that the editor Of The
CRITIC be ruled in contempt. The editor
was not ruled, but it is all the same to tho
decayipg compendium of yesterday. The
burden of the decaying concerns remarks
is that newspapers have been bought"
OF course they have. We bought one our
selves about thirteen months ago. When
we bought it the Star was making $4,000
or $4,000 year. The Star is not making
$4,000 or $4,000 year now. And it will
continue not to make $4,000 or $4,000 a
year for several years, if we live and enjoy
tolerable health.
That is what is the matter with the Star.
We have shown the Star what a newspaper
is. The poor brain of even Crosby Noise
can comprehend that fact But that is all.
The faculty of imitation is beyond that,
and beyond the grasp Of the poor brain Of
Noise as well; so he must content himself
with mistaking an eructation of the gases
of indigestion from a dyspeptic stomach for
mental process and committing the same
to paper.
This proves nothing except that the Eng
lsh language is flexible; very flexible; so
flexible that bafiled avarice and dyspeptic
malignity can find in it articulate express
sion for even an asthmatic wheeze Of infrm
rage.
1t is not possible to discuss the Star seri-
pot ba rvnrfn vpbt IN In
so, if it were possible. We are engaged in
making newspaper. Our books show that
we are something Of success in that line.
If the stupid managers of the decaying
concern think they had lawful lien on
the monopoly of the profits of evening jour.
nalism in Washington, let them get out a
search warrant to recover what they have
lost.
They can find it all in THE CRITIC Of
fee.
If we choose to take the part of citizens
who are being prosecuted we shall do so.
Thus far we have had occasion to repel
malignant assaults made by the decaying
star either in person or by proxy of George
Bliss, upon one Of the most respectable
Grand Jurics ever impanneled in this Dis
trict to denounce cowardly insinuations
against an intelligent and honest petit jury
and many other equally despicablo exhibi
tions of disordered liver or a depleted
pocket book, both of which ills atilict the
decaying Star.
We shall continue to do so. In time We
may buy another paper-when the decayinl
Star reaches the auction block-provided
we think it worth while to clear the field
of accumulated old junk and rubbish.

The news reaches us of case of infanti-
eide, which took place on Bahala Creek, in
the upper part of this county, last Saturday
Minerva Maxwell, colored, created sus-
picion that she had murdered her child,
only few hours old, and upon a search
being made it was found in the creek. A
Corners jury was empannelled and their
verdict was that it came to its death by a
blow on the head inflicted by the mother.
The evidence seemed so strong against her
that she was arrested and brought to town by
Deputy sheriff Hamilton Smith and is now
in Jail. DIR. NJ. j. Ferguson, OF Beauregard,
held an autopsy on the child. The cost to

burying the child, amounting to about $2S,

An Enterprising Clothing House Its Great
Success.

The wonderful success and giant growth
Of the clothing trade of New Orleans has
been due mainly to the great insight of such
men as Leon Godchaux, who always anti
cipates the needs of the people.
The recognition of the fact that excel
lence in fit and good styles in clothing,
with ever changing newness, based on cor
rect taste and judgment would meet the
wants of the masses as fully as possible, has
been the means of advancing the trade OF
this house in a great measure. Perhaps
Godchaux's great success lies in the pro-
duction of clothing patterns that contain
every essential quality for the formation of
first-class garments. and for elegance and
newness of style, with frst-class patterns.
Everything is possible in the way of success
in the clothing business, and knowing it is,
Godchaux never fails to suit the most fas-
tideous customer.
Everybody who visits New Orleans knows
the elegant and spacious clothing establish
ment of Leon Godchaux, 81 and SO Canal
street, and it is generally regarded as the
best place for ready-made or custom clothes
in New Orleans.
The stock at this establishment is always
kept amply provided with large and full
supplies, and an assortment of the most
durable and fashionable goods in the
clothing line The goods made by this firm
are invariably true-ftting and are consider
ed the best garments sold in the South; in
fact their good qualities have popularized
this famous house, perhaps more than any
similar in stitution in this country.
MIR. Godchaux's stock for the approach
ing season is the largest ever manufacture
ed, owing to an unprecedented demand
lately for their goods. This gentleman en-
joys an enviable reputation, the result of
many years of indefatigable efforts to pro-
duce fine ready-made clothing Of the high
est standard at astonishing low prices.
Furthermore the goods at Leon Godchaux
are selected with regard to our climate, and
the tastes of the people, and made up with
great care and attention as to durability
and neatness of fit.
