There NIiast be a Change.
Claiborne Guardian.

The present State government has
fallen into disrepute with many or our
hest citizens. There is a want OF con-
tidence in our rulers and the methods
which prevail. 1t is believed that the
government is not fairly or honestly adj
ministered. Men who have had OPP
uOrtunities OF knowing, say that the
present administration is little better
than the regime OF Warmoth and kel-
logg. The Legislature could be bought
saws public opinion, and all that was
necessary to secure the enactment OF
any measure was to raise the requisite
amount of money. This may OF may
not be tue, but in the opinion OF at
least respectable portion OF the .peo-
ole the entire machinery OF our State
government is controlled by the mon
led influence of giant monopoly. The
people cannot be expected to respect a
government which is open to even the
and controlled. Those who control
public affairs should be like CAESARS
wife, above suspicion. And it must be
confessed that our rulers have taken no
pains to show themselves the enemies
OF those institutions and influences
which are popularity believed to control
and influence them in their official CD
pacity. They have preserved silence as
to these. No word have they uttered to
lisabuse the public mind of these opin
ions. Crookedness and even dIshenes-
1y is believed to exist in high places.
Another election is approaching, can
didates and their friends are pressing
their claims upon the public notice.
The present personal of the government
should he changed. Rulers suspected
of being crooked and under the intfu-
ence of rings and cliques and other
base influences, and who do not estab-
lish their innocence OF the grave
charges, should no longer rule free
people. Let them stand aside and men
be brought to the front who are sound
and who have records that are above
suspicion, and are free of any kind of
connection with cliques and rings. The
people demand rulers that are honest,
capable, above suspicion, and that will
meet out justice to all, and hold no kind
OF connivery with fraud and corrup-
ton. For the first position within the
gift of the people of Louisiana, there is
a man to whom the people look with
confidence, and that man is Francis T.
Nichols. Give us Nichols for Cover
nor and make up the entire State ticket
of like material, and we will have a
State government which will be hon
estly administered and for which the
people have respect.
Let the rings and bosses stand aside,
and the people will select their own
rulers. We have had enough machine
politics.

Believers in ssbrain-waves, and in the
class of phenomena which the term
"brain-wayes' is intended to explain,
will be interested in ssstrange Incl
dentr reported from Plymouth. It is
said that on Tuesday evening a young
man called upon the editor of the
Western Daily Mercury and asked if any
kilograms had been received which gave
the names of Englishmen killed on that
day in Alexandria. No news of the sort
had been sent to the office of the jour-
nal. The inquirer seems to have ex-
planned his visit to the editor; at all
events his reason as now given was this:
The mother and wife of a petty officer
named Remington, then serving with the
fleet at Alexandria, had been alarmed
as they sat working in their house by
hearing Revington's voice three times
call ssMother." This they regarded as
s.warning.'' On Wednesday the
sswarning'' was shown to have been no
false intimation, for the friends of Rev.
ington received telegram from the adj
miralty to announce that the petty Off
Ger was shot in the streets of Alexandria
on Tuesday.-London Nesos.

Ramsdell writes from Washington to
the Philadelphia Press:
I can point out to you ex-Senators
who can scarcely buy their breakfasts,
who are so seedy and dilapidated that
they will cross the street rather than
meet an old friend. There are ex-Cab-
met officers who used to bespatter "us
common peoplen with mud from their
carriage wheels as they rolled grandly
on, who are now not recognized by their
former associates. There are ex-Gene-
rails in the army, whose names have hon.
orable mention in history, whose deeds
will never be forgotten, and on whose
shoulders the double star of a major
general set with pride, now so poor and
helpless that they are often hungry
withouta cent to buy food. 1t is all
such painful phase of Washington
life that have not the heart to go on.
Butts it not pity, dear reader, that
the same fate that takes away from a
man the power to continue to be good
ard useful also takes away from him
the power to end his miserable days with
bare bodkin. 1t is a gloomy, dismal
subject, and we will drop it,"

The Louisiana Press, at least large
majority, seems, to favor Nichols and
nobody else, as the best and most avail
able candidate for Governor in 1884,
Gretna Courier.
The tendency to spring the campaign
has in no wise abated. The majority Of
the journals have expressed prefe-
renee, and now tones horde of cor
respondents, who persist in naming va
rious candidates for various positions.
OF course all Of the correspondents and
of the informal nominees are patriots,
and if all this is true, and there is no
desire to gainsay it, the country will be
safe and redeemed. But Of all the can
didates mentioned there is none more
frequently endorsed than ex-Gov.
Francis T. Nichols Baton Rouge
Truth.
But If the professional politicians can
prevent it, Nichols will not be nomina-
ted for Governor. The "land grab

The following experience of victim
of begging letters is printed in the
Washinton Star: "For instance, lady
entirely unknown to Mr.. Corcoran
writes long letter, in which she states
that her husband is worth $4,000 and is
doing large and prosperous business.
The writer, however desires to be indie
pendent of her husband, and asks Mr..
Corcoran to send her enough money so
that she may live on the interest. The
letter is we'll written, and closes with an
urgent invitation to Mr.. Corcoran to
come and make her visit at her home
in New England to see her garden an
enjoy the fruits and flowers. The wri-
ter was evidently well-to-do in this
world, and educated, yet, perhaps, an
isolated example, but the course OF
reasoning which led her to think that
am entire stranger would help her is en-
tirely unique. I want barrel Of mess
pork, and / want you to send it to me-
was the laconic but preremptory letter
received from man in one of the
Southern States. Mr.. Corcoran, amused
by this strange demand, sent the pork as
requested. What was the result He
was rewarded by receiving arequest for
another barrel. ;"
