BELLEVUE, La.
THURSDAY, :::::::::::::::::::::::::::MAY J, 1885.

In to-day's Banner we copy an arti-
Gle on Louisiana "ring" politics from
a Washington paper; also, an article
from the New Orleans States, being
'tkick'' from Senator Eustis against
the Administration. We print these
articles merely as the political news
and gossip Of the day. In reference
to Senator Eustis, the New Orleans
Picayune of April Both, says:
while Mr.. Eustis is saying this
it might be as well to remark that he
is reckoning without his host, and
that he does not speak for the Democ-
racy of Louisiana. He certainly
does not represent the Democracy Of
this State or any part of it, except his
money bags and "the machine. The
Legislative caucus which nominated
him, filed as it was with ringsters
and creatures, had to take into its
bosom two Republican negroes from
Madison parish to get the one major
ity that put him through. AS to his
personal weight we doubt whether
he could go before the people and
carry one-third Of the Ward in which
lie lives"

New Orleans States: The same
reprehensible custom, so common in
this State, Of frequently changing
the text books of the public schools,
it seems has been practiced in Ohio,
until the Legislature of that State
has taken hold of the question, and
proposes, by bill passed by the
same, finally disposed of it in the
most effective manner. By the terms
of the law, every School Board in
the State will have the selection OF
its own textbooks, and may buy
them where they can be had cheapest.
This not only prevents monopoly,
but it gives local retail dealers in
school books q chance, and thus
assists in the distribution of the
money spent for books. After the
workings of this bill have been thor.
oughly tested, it is not probable that
this question will trouble future Leg.
islatures.

New Orleans City Item: If Il

New Orleans City Item: If the
State Treasurer will give brief atten-
ton to his official dnties he may dis
cover that the great mass of public
creditors are wearing and sore of
waiting for a distribution of their
funds which for months have lain in
the hands of the Fiscal Agent, while
many of them are paying (perhaps
to the Fiscal Agent Bank) high rates
of interest for advances upon their
claims. The Treasurer's attempt to
create a new order of preference
creditors has been condemned by the
Court; and equity and fair dealing
to those who have faithfully served
the State demand an immediate re-
turn to the system of pro rata pay
ments. The Treasurer could do No
higher justice to the majority OF
warrant holders than to ask the At
torney General to dismiss the appeal
which he has taken from Judge
Houston's very proper ruling in this
matter.

Our most formidable competitor

Great strides have been made in

ninety eight varieties of bearing
orange seedlings in Los Angeles

Licensing a Crime.

Shreveport Times: We are at a
loss to understand how the munich
pal authorities of New Orleans can
license gambling houses in face of
the fact that the statutes of the State
make such offences punishable by
fine and imprisonment. The money
collected from the gamblers of New
Orleans is devoted to the mainten-
ance of the Shakespeare Amshouse,
the inmates of which these same
gamblers to a large extent, help to
make.
The Mayor of New Orleans is tired
and Disguised with the administra-
ton of the gamblers fund, and has
called upon Mr.. Shakespeare to re-
heve him of all further annoyance
and responsibility. The Mayor de-
dominates the fund as a curse. So
it is, and if was made of the right
stuff he would have the law rigidly
enforced, which would result in clos
ing the numerous gilded dens of
vice and crime, which are blight
and curse to New Orleans
It appears that the gamblers, who
are illegally permitted to carry on
their nefarious business, under the
miserable pretence of aiding a char
liable institution, have not been
doing the square thing by Mayor
Guillotte, and for that reason, per-
haps, he wants somebody else to
assume control of the fund Con-
corning his request the States says
chad this course been adopted
some time ago, the Almshouse fund
would have been better off by some
$40 900, which have been improperly
applied to purposes never contem-
plated by the plan Of indirectly hcen-
sing gambling houses through the
exaction of voluntary contributions.

It is stated that Secretary Man.
ming, on his return from New York,
was firmly impressed with the idea
that very ethereal administration
of affairs will not suit the practical
mind of this generation. While the
test of merit is not exclusively sue
cess, yet on the whole success is q
very good thing to aim at, and an
administration can be successful only
when it gathers around it those
friends whose support is expected
and hoped for. 1t is said that Mr..
Manning proposes to breach the sub
iect to Mr. Cleveland.

The New Orleans States says !:

respondent says more definite an.
swers could have been given rela.

very properly objects to this illegal
discrimination, and charges the
Treasurer with being ''guilty of IN.

special favoritism to individuals at
the expense of the mass of the

tive OF another evasive reply made

Beer Case and by whose authority

pealed to the Supreme Coart3 His
reply was 'sthat it was simply q
question to test whether or not the

over ordinary warrant holders
This case of the Board of Health
was decided some time ago by the
Supreme Court adversely to the
Boards claim, and eoald therefore
no longer be an excuse for the TFea
surer to refuse to accept Judge
Houston's decision in the Beer case,
which was not for any preference,
but only for q mandamUs."

The numerous prophets who are predict
ing Gladstone's downfall as soon as Parlia-
ment meets have predicted the same thing
several times before during the past year.
Doubtless there is strong feeling against
the ministry in England which would like to
vent itself in tearing down Gladstone. But
after Gladstone and the Liberal ministry is
torn down something will have to be built
up. Here is the point that makes English
men hesitate. The Tories are destitute of
great leaders. They have plenty of men of
fair capacity, but not one who is so far
above the others that his party would with
substantial unanimity concede to him the
leadership. To tear down the Gladstone
ministry, therefore is to incur the risk of
ministry tern with internal dissensions and
without ability 10 agree upon or execute any
well defined policy. It's very much like
jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
