Mr.. Eustis, senator from Louisiana,

Mr.. Eustis has grievance, and, like
mary men with a grievance, he Is prcpar-
ing TO make a national ass of himself. He
is going TO iii up newspaper columns
telling how he has been mstreatcd by a
Democratic president, whom he did so
much 10 elect, and who is now guilty of
the unspeakablc ngratitudc of refusing
him the patronage Of the Louisiana of
fees. Then he will ask the country Ia
join with him in Furnishing the presidents
interference with his patronage by show
ing its condemnation of such conduct.
And the country will stand off
and laugh at him, and ask
who i Mr.. Eustis, that he should die
tate TO a Democratic president who shall
be appointed to places of trust and honor?
And then Mr. Euslls will get sour and
become a chronic bore, aud call himself
one OF the "opposition."
such things as this have often happened
in our political history, and the symp-
toms are So well known that it Is not
difficult TO diagnose Mr. Eustis' case.
The starting point is the same in all of
them. The trouble begins with an at
tempt ON the part of Il puffed-
up politician to bc boss"

his state. That was the beginning of
Conkling's quarrel with Garfield, and il
was the cause of Conklug's downfall,
Conkling was Il far stronger man with his
party than Mr.. Eusts is, or can ever hope
to be, IN the Democratic party, and vet

What better can the Louisiana senator
hope for?
