The motion to quash the indict-
ment against Will A. Strong, on
the plea of prescription, has been
overruled. He has fled an afida-
Wit naming large number of per-
sons who are indebted to him for
ticket paper. Among the number
we find the following well known
in this section: Geo. A. Kelly, of
Winfield, he claims owes him $40;
G. 81. Teal, Colfax, $50; Thomas
Hickman, Paramount, $50; w. p.
Guynes, Ada, SIS; w. F. Black
man, Alexandra, $50; r. p. Hun
ter, Alexandria, SIS; J. M. Jones,
Hickory Valley, SIS; N. G. Blan-
chard, Shreveport, $75. Consider
ing the appeal made by Mr.. Strong
that the public should suspend de-
cision until he could make show
ing, his plea of prescription was
rather shabby resort. Then, this
sensational claim that he has been
used as q scapegoat by SO many
prominent men, looks incredible, to
say the least. Why not have given
their names six months ago? We
venture the assertion that the larg-
er proportion of the three dozen
individuals named will show that
they have settled for the tickets
received. It Is now narrowed to
definite issue: Mr.. Strong is either
weak and corrupt, or he has dealt
with unscrupulous knaves.

What profits it man to make
3 whole pocketful of counterfeit
bills, if the penitentiary surely
awaits him? This question arises
when the statement of special agent
Pat LOBBY is considered, Every
successful counterfeiter thus far
known has been brought to Justice
IN the end" Honesty in currency
is at q premium.

Some of our brother editors in Louisi-
ana seem to think that there is only one
man In the State suitable for governor,
and that gentleman is Ex-Goy. Nichols.
1t Is hard to believe that there is only one
man in the entire Pelican State who is
honest enough to govern it; but the Town
Talk has higher opinion of Democratic
leaders There are plenty Of good men
in our State, and we trust before 1888
that the press viii unite in support of one
OF them-some new man. The Town
Talk is tired of the same old cry: "Nich-
oils! Nicholas" We want man who will
not withdraw about the time the State
convention meets.
In other words our Alexandria
friend desires to place the T. T. in
line now 80 that it may gracefully
hold its own as q McEnery cham

it, neighbour or have you another
