PRISONERS PARoLED.
Moses Davis and Peter Ditman Relea sed

The Governor yesterday ordered the release
of Moses Davis from the State Prison North
and of Peter Ditman from the State Prison
South, the prisoners to be at liberty
during good behavior or the pleasure
of the Governor. Under these cir
cumstances, the release is in the nature of a
parole, and the Governor may order them
back to confinement at any time. Davis was
sent from Boone County for life for a MUIR
der committed in 1878, and during his incar-
ceration has been an exemplary prisoner.
He is now eighty-three years of age and in
bad health.

A Question of Justice.


If Congress would indulge in little less
nonsense concerning pensions for soldiers
for the late war and would pension the sur
viving veterans of the Mexican war, they
would only give deserved recognition to de
serving men who vastly extended the coun-
try ond added immense W ealth to the Ma
tion. They have waited long enough for
justice, and bill giving them their rights
should be passed without delay.

Is Il Really Consumption?

Many a case supposed to be radical lung
disease is really one of liver complaint and
indigestion, but unless that diseased liver can
be restored to healthy action, it will so clog
the lungs with corrupting matter as to bring
on their speedy decay, and then indeed we
have consumption, which is scrofula of the
lungs, in its worst form. Nothing can be
more happily calculated to nip this danger
in the bud than is DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery By druggists.

A Poor Rule, Etc.
Madison Herald.I

Why were Democrats excluded from hold
ing Government positions from 1861 to 1885?
Because they were Democrats. Why should
they be appointed to these same positions
now2 Because they are Democrats. 1t is a
poor rule that will not work both ways.

The People Are Thinking.

Congress is not getting down to business
with the alacrity which should characterize
men selected by the people to legislate for
their welfare. The two Houses of Congress
having become the stamping ground of poll
ticians, many people begin to doubt the util-
ity of the Republican party.

To Raise "a Hurrah.


We incline to the belief that the charges
are merely an attempt Of the Bell Telephone
Company, whose patents are threatened by
the Pan Company, to raise hurrah that will
prevent the latter company bringing suit to
invaldate the Bell patents. At all events,
we have mistaken confidence in the Presi-
dent. and believe that he will investigate the
matter thoroughly, and shape his final action

Their Request Should be
Granted.

Mr.. Leon Gillard, the member Of the
Police Jury of the 5th Ward, presented to
that body, at its last sitting, petition
from the citizens of Breaux Bridge and
vicinity, asking an appropriation to re-
pair the bridge, across the Teche, at that
place. They say that the bridge is in a
very delapidated and dangerous condition.
The petition was laid on the table subject
to future action,
We think the people of that section
are entitled to brand new bridge SINH
lar to the one not long ago erected here.
But we believe the finances Of the parish
will not admit of it just now. Neverthe-
LEGS an appropriation large enough to
put the present bridge in cafe travelling
condition is urgently needed. And the
Police jury should not hesitate to grant a
iHa, demand. Let il be done at the nert
meeting.

He Is Not The Fashion"

How often do we hear this expression
used, even in little burg like this, in
reply to this question relating to the me-
rit OF some young man. "Oh, yes, it
cannot De denied that he is upright, and
of unblemished private character; but
then he is not the '.fashiOn." Alas, it is
a fact, that modest merit of the brightest
order is too often suffered to perish by
cold neglect. while impudent mediOcrity
makes its way with eclat into the good
graces and affections of those. who are
the fashion. No matter i'm what one
may excel; though he is endowed with
all that goes to make true gentleman,
n he be not enrolled among the vOta-
ries Of fashion, he is cast aside and too
often spurned. Unfortunately for him,
he is not in possession of that brazen
talisman, which seldom fails to act as an
open sesame. No, modest merit, has not
that irresistible confidence and assurance
imupdcnce, that precious metal which is
sometimes better than gold. In short
he is not the fashion"

THE MESSENGER.
Is It Just.


The following extract is from the pub
lished proceedings of the last meeting OF
the Police Jury:
James +. AOutOn, Esq, having presen-
ted to the Police Jury, in open session; a
claim of Messrs. Gates & Barnard of Iberia
for the sum of sl21.40 FOR damage to
steamboat DuriO at Breaux Bridge, caused
by inefficiency of the Bridge there-And
it appearing that said claim is Just and
reasonable, on motion of Mr.. Duchamp,
daily secOnded-It is resolved that said
claim be and is hereby approved and Or
dered to be paid out of any funds in the
Treasury and as valid claim, out of the
revenues Of this year.
The facts in this matter appear to be
that whilst the Str. DuriO was coming
through the drawbridge at Breaux Bridge
one OF the persons, at the crank of the
roller on which the chain holding the
span is attached, thinking or apprehen-
ding that the smoke stack of the boat
would strike the span, let go his hold,
thereby causing the span to drop, prOdu-
cling the damage for which the Parish is
made to pay.
In allowing this claim we suppose the
Police Jury did the best thing under the
circumstances. We are sure it is safer
plan than litigating over the matter.
However, it most forcibly strikes us that
If in entering into contracts with indi-
viduals, whereby an adequate cOnsidera-
ton is given for the performance Of GER
tain work, that Body should demand and
exact solvent bond for its faithful exc
cution, not forgetting to insert a clause
therein making damages accruing from
gross negligence on the part of the con-
tractor or his employees, payable by the
contractor, such claims would fall on him
who by right, should be responsible. If
he chooses to employ irresponsible help
he should pay the damages following
such employment. Though the amount
is small, very small, it is sufficiently
to teach wholesome lesson. And we
trust it will not be lost.
