WHO Is THE MAN

Some Of the funniest writing we have
ever seen, has been produced from the
Repubiico- Democratic papers in Lousi-
ana, upon the issue presented by
the ioint-letters Of Gov. Nichols and
Gen. Ogden, each one resigning in the
others favor, and presenting the
exact picture Of that a,tute Snowman
who immortaliZed himself by the
expression: "You pays your money
and you takes your choice"
See this from the Shreveport
Democrat:
1t is announced by telegraph that
Gen. Francis T. Nichols has declined
to enter the race for Governor. He
states truly that his friends have known
this from the first. We have long
known that he is supporting Gen.
Ogden. His popularity and strength
may be judged from the vrulence with
which the administration organs have
been attacking him. They will now
have TO "spit in their hands" and take
fresh hold. They may rest assured
that when the opposition centre on a
candidate he will be perfectly unassail-
able.
Now hear the Morgan City Free
Press
Ex-Gov. Nichols in Il letter to the
Picayune says that he is unwilling to
become a candidate for Governor. We
are sorry. He is the only man out
SIDE OF the ring that could be elected.
Ogden will fall fiat as candidate
against McEnery. There are tco many
Ogden's in office now.
And again, from thu same issue Of
the same paper:
We are opposed IT, the ring now
governing our state; aud we know it
does not represent the people, and do
not believe it even represents
political party. 1t i-a machine, whose
wheels are kept running by means Of
public patronage. But we are not
willing to substitute for it another ring
with Gen. Ogden as It's tigure7head and
John Fitzpatrick as it- "brain." The
State has been run long enough by "A
few organizers of New Orleans it is
time for the dog to commence wagging
the tail.
And finally from the DDnaIdoonville
Chief Of Oct. 1st.
The existence OF IA Ogden-titz-
patrick alliance is Il patent fact. We
have not characterized il either as cor
rupt or disgraceful, but have proclaim-
ed it an element OF weakness rather
than of strength to Gen, Ogden, and
few intelligent observers Of passing
events will care to attempt rentaton
of his opinion.

The board will perceive that the delinquent
tax list is increasing annually, there being now
on file in my Office certificates, which at their
face. amount to $22 4033, against S22, i475S last
year: which with the accrued interest thereon,
I have no doubt will aggregate the amount of
$40, 000U. 1t is an imposition on the honest
tax payers TO compel them TO pay the current
expenses of the county as well as the annual
payments of principal and interest on the
county debt, while we allow so many resident
land owners to escape the burdens of govern
ment. not even paying any part of their Just
taxes. | would recommend that the board
take the matter into consideration with a view
to compel the delnquents to pay up. other
wise the county viii take tax deeds on the
property. And in justice to the honest tax
payers il seems to me to be imperative on this
board to force the matter to an issue, and am
OF the opinion that If the board pass resolu-
ton. or otherwise make provisions for the
collection of moneys due the county on those
certificates the delinquents would come for
ward and pay up before costs are incurred.
And, furthermore, | am OF the opinion that
money enough might be collected from these
certificates to build an asylum for the insane
of this county.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.

While enjoying the cigars he protfered,
some of the more conservative of Char

the evils sure to come upon those who
persist in this kind of gambling and
advised him never to venture again,
urging him to stop while he is $4,000
ahead. Soon however it leaked out
that his deal was not of the kind

and that the net profit is Il bran new

WHAT OTHERS THINK.

Chicgo Inter Ocean: AS a whole ii
as an admirable State paper, htly clos.
ing with u mely appeal for a new civil
rights bill, but in his plans for the
disposition of the surplus revenues ii
was an unfortunate oversight to pass
uy in absolute silence the whole mat
ter of internal improvements.
Chicago Tribune: The presidents
message will impress the reader as a
conservative and cautious document.
There is an occasional intimation of
desire to respond to progressive public
sentiment i'll the matter of taxation
and the regulation of the monopolies,
but it is repressed for the most part in
apparent Difference to the business
interests" His recommendations, as
a rule, are in the right direction, and
it is rather the omissions than the as
sertions which will encounter criti-
cism, On the whole, however, it de-
notes an advance oyer the last annual
message in the opinions held by the
masses concerning the duties and re-
sibilities of the national government.
Chicago News: The presidents
message, like his administrations seems
to strike happy medium between un-
dignified hreyity and unnecessary pro-
lixity. While Ills views regarding
trade, reduction of the revenue, etc.,
may not meet with favor ut the hands
of extremists on either side, the larg-
er public will feel the policy outlined
is one of safety. His recommends
tions regarding affairs in Utah sound
like .sbns;ness,n and, if they be obser-
we'd, it sounds also the death knell of
polygamy. The recommendations re-
garding the navy and our coast defen-
SEES are timely. While it Is plain that
| the president has spoken largely
through the reports of his cabinet min
listers, yet it is business message
from . business president.
New York Herald. president Ar
thurs annual message has that char
acter of plain and practical good sense
which all his state papers have borne ;
and while we do not approve of all his
recommendations, and indeed dissent
strangely from some of the most impor-
tant of'them. we cagnot too highly
praise the spirit OF the document.
/ The message is in its minor details q
very judicious paper, but it is distinct
ly republican party message. MT
Arthur has the tact to put the Repub-
| iiean policy of high taxes and large
Expenditures In lie least odious form
but he has evidently abandoned those
ways toward tax and tariff reform
toward which I'm his previous message
he vainly tried to lead his party. The
party refused to follow his lead. He
therefore falls in with his party, and
the Republica managers ought to be
! grateful TO him For putting their poll
CIV iil so tactfqI q way as be has done
The bad features of their case never
had more skillful defender.
Boston Herald: The Philadelphia
jury, which awarded 10000 damages
to a girl crippled by jumping from
burning mill not properly provided
with fire escapes, did mare to inspr'
compliance with the law In futur,
than all the papers and all the official
could do. An honest jury can d,
more than the best intentions of tn
