statement that the arrest spoken Of was at
the instance of a notorious character Of the

rious characters for the past five years, and
was not taken by Hazlette, nor is Hazlette

is what makes parents so anxious. Here
are temptations for every form of diSsipa-
ton and every stage of it. The young man,
when he first goes into dissipation, is very
particular where he goes. 1t must be a
fashionable hotel. He could not be tempt
ed into these corner nuiSances, with red
stained glass and a mug of beer painted on
the sign-board. You ask the young man
to 90 into that place and he would say
"DO you mean to insult me?' No; il
must be a marble-hOOred bar room. There
must be no drunkard hiccuping while he
takes his glass. 1t must be place where
elegant gentlemen come in and click their
cut glass and drink TO the announcement
OF flattering sentiment. But the young
man cannot always find that kind of a
place; yet he has thirst and it must be
gratifed. The down-grade is sleeper
now, and he is at the bottom. Here they ate
in an oyster cellar around a card table,
wheeling, bloated and blOodshot, with
cards so greasy you can hardly tell who
has the best hand. But never mind; they
are only playing for drink. Shuttle away

The Gretna Sun pays its respects
to the gallant General Francis T..
Nichols in the following manner !:
Z" The poor old ring! The halcyon
days of its power have passed away,
and it is left a disman,led wreck
high and dry on the rocks of public
indigna zion. The events of the past
week show how the people detest its
loathiog and putreseent presence
And mark the prediction: The police
jury and those who belong to that
political faction will follow rapidly
in its wake two years hence, wheN
the present Sta administration is
dethroned by the honest people of
this commonwealth, led by the
matchess reformer, lie superb Gen
Francis Tillou Nicloi,s. An upright
government will aga. hold sway in
Louisiana, and the ring and its sym.
pa'h;zers, dragged in their own
infamy and pollution, will indeed be
objects for commiseration. All hal!

Capitolian-Advocate: The gen
eral understanding of the United
States law is that before any one
attempts to sell spirituous liquors of
any Kind, and cigars and tobacco,
they must obtain a license to do so.
This appears to be the view taken
of it by the United States revenue
officer of this district, and conse.
quently he throws out timely hint
that persons selling these articles at
fairs and picnics are not exempted
and must conform to the general
rule laid down in the law. All who
disregard the warning voice of this
law will undoubtedly be called upon
to take an excursion to New Orleans
at Uncle Sans expense to face the
representative of that august per-
sonage, and tell how it was they un-
dertook to evade his mandates by
selling liquors and cigars without
license.

Newspaper Responsibility.

Editor Cory, of Alabama, before
the Editorial Convention at Cincin.
natl, said /: 1t is popular to hold
newspapers responsible for corrupt
ing the public morals in greater or
less degree because they tell of the
crimes that happen and the vices
that exist. We have sins enough to
answer for without exaggeration in
this regard. To suppress these
things is not what We understand by
the purity Of the press. If there's
stealing, we shall set the types on
race for the thief if there's murder,
we shall catch the victims dying
groan and paint the murderer's
blackness and fal3e teact ers, and
betrayers of virtue. and corruption
in high places shall not escape US.
So We tell the truth and invade not
the sanctity of the home, our skirts
are clear. If the public's morals
can not endure the knowledge of its
own rottenness, our hands are clean.
10 hold otherwise would be to pro.
claim the very existence of the press
a curse. Our responsibility as news.
gathers is done when we so WOO the
goddess of truth, that she greets US
with a smile and not as one in
anger" drawing back her skirts
which suppliants catch at.

Marksville Review We cordially
concur with the MERID1oNAL in a
preference for Francis l.. Nichols.
Nichols has ever been the first choice
of the Review Cor governor. In the
last campaign we advocated the
nomination of General ogden, as
General Nichols declined to run.
If Nichols should agree to accept
the nomination he will sweep the
field. He is the choice of Avoyelles.
That he will meet with opposition of
the professional politicians is to be
expected. The people ''love him for
the enemies he has made" Francis
I. Nichols is one among the few
patriots of the day-a man whose
reputation, personal and political, is
without blemish. By all means let
US have Nichols, if we can get him
to serve us.

So you are kicking about your vii.

Well, who's to blame for it ? Can

business to watch out for locals.
That's the editors business, he gets

good one, isn't it? You got away
the best of the editor that time,
didn't you? Ha, ha! Can't get
over it, can you? Good joke on the
editor. Guess he'll be careful how
he gets into an argument with you
in the future. But say, friend, did
you ever stop to think that the vii
lage paper is just as lively and inter-
esting as you will let it be? You
buy a new lot and put up a house
and see how quickly the paper will .
say you are the stuff, and you know
how to fix up things around you in
good shape. Buy lot on Main
street and put up three story brick
block with some nice stores, and
plate glass fronts on the ground
floor, and Offices, ETC., on the second
and third. Before you get the rub.
bish cleared off, the paper will tell
the world what an enterprising man
you are, and how far seeing you'are,
to place your money where it will
not only bring you big interest but
prove grand ornament to the
town. Build factory that will en-
ploy 800 men and see if the paper

and see if the village paper don't

That will cause your neighbors to do
something. Remember, friends, that

the fault of the victim if he did not come
up again alive and unhurt; and, in order
to test the matter and also to be prepared
for any case of future emergency, he
practiced the art of jumping down wells.
By-and- by it actually happened that Jung
was sentenced by his Prince to this pun

last favor of his sovereign; that he might
