Our Candidate for Governor.

! The Hon. I'll. L. Garland has received
a letter from Gen. Alcibiades Deblanc
IN which, while thanking the Opelonsas
! papers and his friends in st. Landry fol
the fiattering preference expressed fol
him as the next Governor of Louisiana
lie very medestly says that under nc
circumstances could lie accept the high
honor rendered him. He says that his
political ambition is exhausted, and
to him, the friendship and esteem of his
fellow -citizens is sufficient and price
less reward for all that he has done in
the past.
Such patriotic utterances are in per-
feet keeping with the noble character
and modest pretensions of the pure and
exalted Deblanc. HIS modesty can on
ly be surpassed by his magnanimity and
moral greatness, and no Office in the
gift of our people viii be too great re-
ward for the services of this distinguish
ed hero, jnrist, and patriot. Let the
people of Louisiana call him from his
retirement to be their governor; not for
a single term, but like Connecticut did,
in the early years of her nascent but
patriotic government, when she elected
the younger Winthrop governor seven
teen times in succession; so lot the peo-
pie of Louisiana elect Judge Deblanc
once, and they will be willing to retain
him as their executive the balance Of
his life. We were not surprised ut his
high position in public life,
nor will any one who knows him doubt
his sIneagitI He seeks no Office aud
prefers the peace and quiet Of retire.
ment. But just such men should be
sought out, and Judge Deblanc is too
patriotic to disregard the wishes of Ills
people.

q PROLIFIC DECADE.


The Washington correspondent of the
Troy Times writes: As to ages, if you are
tolerably well posted you may have obsery-
ed that the bulk of active public work is be-
ing done by men born between 1880 and
1910. That decade seems to have been par
ticu1arly rich and forceful in its contributions
to population, with no disparagement to the
decades that precede and follow it. The
men born IN these years are now in their
working prime, and their early manhood
was disciplined in the greatest war of the
century. If I had the talent for details
which your pleasant Hermit has, to bring
the list before you, it would include Presi-
dent Garfield, and the prominent members
of Congress: the foremost New York City
and Western editors and scores of pulpit
and educational names that will occur to
you an over the country. But many of the
most delightful and best disciplined minds
belong to the twenty years before minds
with whom it is safer and wiser perhaps to
counsel A man ordinarily needg to live full
fifty years TO outgrow his selfshness soIne
men will not outgrow it to all eternity, but
after fifty the average man broadens suAi-
,iently to look at life less engrossingly from
Ills own standpoint. He grows more of .
philosopher Theoretically he ought then 70
do his best work for his country, but he be
gins to lose IN physical yigor; he loves HE
slippered ease he does not make SO intense
mark on other minds. The older men OF
the Senate are few of them enchanting to
know. think they must often get tired of
each other, cooped up together and boring
one another day after day. Heaven knows
how tired the country gets
