The .Eon.nal.s Hscnsos.s.

Brother Kinsloe has published in
Jonesboro one Of the best papers ever
published in Washington county, He
has proved himself well fitted for ed
Ting a paper He has always dis
played knowledge of the wants Of
readers in the selection ofnews items,
and fine caution and judgment in
his editorial comments. Last week,
however, the Journal swerved from its
uniform course, and was so imprudent
in All editorial that we cannot pass it
by unnoticed.
Mr. Kinsloe was called upon to ex-
plain why he suddenly ceased war up
on Mathes and Grisham. AT the con-
clusion Of his editorial he gives one
very good reason for his course. He
says that Mr.. Carr, the Chairman Of
the county Committee, told Him that
it would be better not to draw party
lines, that.a quiet campaign was best
for the Democratic candidates. This
is sufficient and justitiable reason
for the Journals course. But the
Editor has weakened the force of this
reason by mentioning n number
Of other reasons winch are no reasons
at all. Here is one of these reasons
given in the Journals own language
"When James M. Grisham was in bus
mess his patronage to the Journal
amounted to at least $4,000 per an
mum until he was nominated Ed. II
Harris name was not on our books
John $. Mathes was always and is to-
day one OF the best patrons of the
Jovrn0I, while Mr. Robertson's patron
age amounts to one or two sub
scribers." Does it occur to any one
that the money OF Republican candi-
dates ought to have anything to dc
in determining the course of a Demo
cratic paper?
In the face@5f Mr.. KinsIoe's asser
ton we can hardly believe that thu
support and money Of the Republican
candidates caused him to cease thu
war he was waging upon them. If h
had been influenced in this way h,
certainly would not have told i
through the columns of his paper.
Another one OF the Journals reason
is this "But it is well known to al
our readers that the Journal is abou
as we'll supported by Republicans as i
is by Democrats" Is this a good rea
son why a Democratic paper shall
cease its opposition to the Republican
candidates? THE COMET has as man,
if not more Republican subscriber
than the Journal, but we feel assure,
that even our Republican subscriber
) would entertain very mean opinion
of US should we swerve from our prin
ciples simply because they subscribe
for our paper We cannot beliey
that Brother Kinsloe was influence
in the least by these SO called reson'
and we cannot help feeling that h
has made gross blunder in mention
ing them.

.BOEam DanieI.

John Daniel will be in the next con-
gress from Virginia. Daniel is one Of
the first orators in the South, and the
only reason that he is not generally
known throughout the United States
is because he has never had an oppor-
tunity to display his talents. In near
ly all of his attempts to obtain office,
where his talents might be OF uso to
his country, he has been defeated.
The legislation has made change in
political divisionsof Virginia,Iand Dan
iels district is now Democratic. Few
men in Virginia are SO worthy Of pc
litical honOrs. He has a courage that
never flinchod, keen sense of honor
that feels q stain like wound, extra
ordinary ability, both in the field OF
eloquence and debate, and a fine face
where every god doth seem to set his seal
To give the world assurance of man"
We rejoice that 80 excellent and
worthy man is now to have an OPP
portunity to serve his country.

that honor lea II honest, contented la
Dor is an element Of national prosperity
Ability TO work constitutes the capital
and the wage 0! labor the income Of
vast number of our population, and
this interest should be jealousy pro-
tected. Our workingmon are not ask
ing unreasonable indulgence; but, as
intelligent and mainly citizens, they
seek the same consideration which
those demand who. have other inter
ests at stake, They should receive
their full share Of the care and atten-
ton Of those who make and execute
the laws, to the end that the wants
and needs OF the employers and the
employed shall alike be subserved and
the prosperity of the country, the
common heritage ofboth, be advanced

Left for Home.

Mr.. F. G. Robertson, son of Col. <.
w. Robertson, Of East Baton Rouge,
who has been sojourning among us
for the last three months, left for his
home in the Capitol city on Friday
last. Mr.. Robertson is young man
of good qualities, and while here, by
his gentlemanly department and affa-
bic manners, has made many friends.
We are sorry to lose him, but since
we must part, we wish him success in
his future undertakings, and will say
that he will always find friends to
greet him if he should return to the
Lake City.

HARD TINES.

Thibodaux Sentinel: The recep.
ton of the nomination of Mr.. Edward
J. Gay as the Democratic candidate
for Congress in this District, creates
more enthusiasm than any nomination
made by the Democracy since the
war. The Democrats now feel that,
for once, they will have an opportu.
nifty to vote for a candidate for Con
gress of whom they will not feel
ashamed, who will honor the District
in the halls of Congress by his dig.
nifty, talent and gentlemanly conduct.
The voters also have an instructive
idea that Mr.. Gay will be triumphant
ly elected. There is more determine
tion among the Democrats to elect
their standard bearer than has been
apparent in any previous election for
years past. From every parish in the
District this feeling and determine
ton is perceptible, and the Demo-
cratic vote will be largely increased in
all the parishes.

Sulphur Cfry,

BY private correspondence we are
able to report that things are looming
up there. All, in the surrounding
country, are busy harvesting their
rice. In the town, business is good /;
and on Sundays church attendance is
very eommendable. The work at the
Sulphur Mine is now progressing well
the obstacles, which for a short
while arrested the descent of the
tube, has been removed, and we hope
soon to be able to report an arrival at
the great sulphur bed. Health is
good.

Editor Lake Charles Echo
A, Swiss, In letter TO the Echo OF
the 27th ult., from SugartoWn, very
truly, justly and appropriately says
"a community, which is mostly en-
gagged in farming for a living, will
hardly need an accomplished educa-
ton for their children, for we all
know, that the most successful men Of
this age were not highly educated. /"
Strange how two hearts can beat
as one.
Now the place TO get good Eng
Iish and commercial education Is the
Calessieu Male and Female Normal
School at Sugartown. Bnt we bsg to
differ with "A. Swiss" In one thing.
Anything easily got is not worth
having" Children can very easily get
4 good liberal education at the Cal.
casieu Male and Female Normal
School, and We are sure that such is
worth having,
While the Principal of this school
will teach higher branches when nee

tien IN life. The course consists Of

Editor Lake Charles Echo;
As you requested some time ago,
to hear from this point, | have con-
cluded to comply. Deesport will soon
resound with the whiz and buz of the
saw, which has been missed for so
long. Gladness will be brought to the
hearts of many when the mill starts
up. Work has been in progress for
some time, converting it into shin
gle mill, they think it will DO ready
for work on Saturday, the 4th inst.
May the owner prosper in the new en-
terprise is the wish of the writer.
The public school at this place
opened on September 8, and had an
attendance on that day of twenty
seven pupils, and an increase Of seven
more to date.
On September 80, the angel of
death visited this place and removed
from our midst Peter Hansen, aged
between seven and eight years, son of
Mr.. Laurence Hansen. Peter was
very sprightly boy, and bid fair to
have made smart man. Was much
loved by his school mates. The family
have the sympathy of this community
in their bereavement. We all know
that he is now at rest, and with his
Maker, and should say, the Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away
blessed be the name of the Lord.
The Deesport Cleveland and Hem
bricks club will meet on Saturday |
night, October 4, and have not doubt |
that they would be glad to see some
of their Democratic friends from Lake
Charles come down.
Robert s. Green, who has been so.
iourning near here for nearly two
years, left for his native home on
September 80. he leaves many friends
q regret his departure, but if the Cal
,asieu water has the drawing tendency
he will be back before many I
1ears or months.

Mrs. Grundy.

This ubiquitous old lady-known
by almost every one, but never seen
by any person-has given us another
call, and as usual, was in great state
of indignation. For the life of us we
can't see nor understand, why it is
that people will go on doing improper
things seemingly, just to annoy the
old creature. She had good deal to
say this time, but what she seemed to
be most excited about, was the man.
ner in which some of our young folks
deported themselves in church. We
are obliged to remark that If what we
hear on this subject is true, it would
be far better that those young gentle
men who prefer to make their attend
ance at church source of amusement
rather than devotion, it would be far
better for themselves and much more
satisfactory to the congregation, that
they select more appropriate place
for sport.
