When men come at us as do our
friends Of the Ruston Caligraph and
Lake Charles Commercial in the fol-
lowing, we cannot refrain from let
ting our readers see how handsomely
the thing can be done:
The Bossier Banner entered upon
It's twenty-forrth year last week. For
editorial ability the Banner ranks
among the best OF the country pa
pers OF the State. May it continue
to live, prosper and battle for the
cause ofright, is the wish of o friend.
Rssto@ CaIigrapb.
The last issue of the Bossier Ban
ner, March IL, 1885; begins the
twenty fourth year of its publication,
and records another number to its
already large volume. Since the first
issue Of the Banner, July l, 1859, to
the present time, nearly aquarter OF
century has passed away; that il
has survived the trials of that dark
epoch, already too well known, proves
to the public the success and merit
Of the journal. We hope that Brother
Scanland will add as mrny more vol
umes to It'll present twenty-three, as
viii double itself.-LGke Charlie,
Commercial.

''Clinging to life is no proof that a
man is still longing for the world, "
says Robertson. eve often cling to
life the more tenaciously as years go
on. The deeper the tree has struck
its roots into the ground, the less
willing it is to be rooted up. But
there is many one who so hangs on
just because he has not the desperate
hardihood to quit it, nor faith enough
TO be willing to depart The world
and he have understood each other;
he has seen through it; he has ceased
to hope anything from it. The love
of the Father is not in him, but the
lust Of the world has passed away.

The President has ordered the dis
continuance of all the newspapers
fifty or sixty of the most expensive
dailies. that have heretofore been
provided at the public expense-and
proposes to pay from his individual
resources for such newspapers as he
wishes to read. His private secretary,
Lamont, has dismissed about one
half the clerks employed about the
White House, and promises to make
further reductions.

Among the officers dismissed by
Secretary Manning the other day was
the notorious James M. Scoville, for
merly of New Jersey, but lately of
Philadelphia Mr.. Scoville was ap-
pointed to Office as q reward for con-
Quoting q scandalous and vitupera-
tive canvass against Gen. Hancock
in 1880. The filthy speeches for
which Scoville was paid were deliver
ed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York.
The Office to which Scoville was
appointed and from which he was
the other day summarily bounced
was called Special Inspector of Gus
toms on the Fraud Roll. The title
was o proper one. The Office was 6
fraud and the incumbent fraud
The appointment was in pursuance
of q fraudulent bargain for the pay
ment of fraudulent obligation
He drew 9 salary for services tina
were unnecessary and probably new
er discharged.

"a newspaper is like a church, "
says the Chicago Tribune, EFT wants
fostering; and then it can reflect
credit on it's location. Take your
home paper. Your interests are kin
dred and equal and you must rise or
fall together. Therefore it is to your
interest to support the home paper;
not grudgingly, not as disagreeable
duty; but as an investment that win
amply pay the expenditure"

France, following Switzerland, has
done the brave and timely deed OF
banishing leading Fenians and dynam-
tiers from the asylum of her soil,
which they have abused by plotting
treason and terrorism against Eng
land. We wish that our Government
were as resolute towards these enc
mics of mankind it is harboring.

What the Democrats Want.

It is entirely natural for aspirants
for political favor to hear with feel
ings Of CONSERVATION of o movement
to reduce the number of Offices. The
chances of applicants to reach the
goal Of their ambition is circumserib-
cd in proportion as the number of
Offices are diminished. Looking at
the matter from an individual stand
point, therefore, the candidates are
more than likely to object to the pol
icy adopted by the new administra-
tion in cutting off sinecures, and re-
ducing the number of Offices as far
as the necessities of the public SER
vice viii permit.
But the public is not to be judged
by the temper of the Office seekers in
this matter or any other. What the
Democratic people of the country
want is not that the administration
will continue sinecures in order to
provide place for the greatest num-
Der of their party associates, but that
after the useless offices are dispensed
with the balance be filed with COM
petent, honest and deserving Demo
Gratis. Indeed there are few Office
hunters who are not willing to relin-
quish their own hopes, provided that
other Democrats are called to ELL the
places. They would complain, and
justly too, if those who spent time
and money to prevent the triumph OF
the Democratic candidates and the
principles they represent, were per-
mitted to continue in the enjoyment
of the offices. After all, political in
terest is fed largely by hopes of po-
itical rewards, and while the rewards
may be given without detriment to
the public service no just complaint
can be made against such a course.

The Beginning OF Economy.
Under the control OF Republican |
administrations different articles Of
personal property came into the pos
session of some of the departments
at Washington that were not intend
ed for public use. They were quite
convenient for the private use OF the
department officers, but could in no
way be construed as being necessary
for any legitimate business connected
with the government.
Secretary Lamar found great deal
of such superfous lumber belonging
TO the Department of the Interior
when he took hold of it, which had
accumulated during the administra-
tons succeeding Johnson's. and which
it would puzzle any one to apply to
any proper use in that department.
With the exception of few horses
and wagons to cart seeds and other
stuff appertaining to the agricultural
bureau, and vehicle or two to carry
articles required by several other OF
its branches, there is no need of the
Interior Department being supplied
with that kind of property. Secretary
Lamar therefore ordered the imme-
date sale of the horses, carriages
and equipments which had been pur-
chased and kept at the public expense
by persons in the department for
their private use and pleasure, with
directions to turn the proceeds into
the treasury.
Attorney General Garland imme-
diately followed the example of the
Secretary Of the Interior by making
sale of similar effects which he
found belonging to the department Of
justice. Nothing could be more sur
prising than that it was considered
necessary for the ends Of justice that
the Attorney General should be fur
nished with livery equipments at the
public expense. But since the time
when Attorney General Williams
sported his celebrated landaulet the
people who have managed that de-
partment have been well supplied
with carriages at the government ex-
pense.
Rut the time for O reform OF such
abuses has arrived. A party has got
into power that opposes the furnish
ing of private conveniences and COM
forts of that kind by means taken
from the people. The horses of the
department of justice, the cushioned
carriages, the handsomely mounted
harness, the robes, the whips, the
blankets, and even the rTy-combs,
are all advertised for sale and the
money they viii fetch will go into
the United States treasury. 1t viii
be small thing in comparison witt
the sum total of the treasury fund
but it viii be an immense thing as {
matter of principle.

National silver Convention.

A National Silver Convention Will
be held at Denver on the 18th of jan
uary, and all the States and Terrific
rIes are invited to send delegates.
Five hundred persons from the va
rious mining districts OF Colorado are
expected TO be in attendance, and If
they are allowed 10 vote, the other
States and Territories will not stand
much show in q contest over differ
ence OF opinion, on local grounds, for
the Colorado delegates will probably
out-number those from all the other
States. This, however, is not OF very
great importance, as in this silver
question the interest of one OF the
mining States is the interest OF all.
Colorado Is the largest producer Of
silver bullion, and it is natural that
the anxiety should there be the great
est to arrest the downward course of
silver, due to hostile legislation.
