As the pioneer Of tho New Orleans
press in moving for justice to tue hlsto-
rian, Hon. Charles Gayarre, the Chron-
icle notes with deep satisfaction the
unanimity of the press and the vigor
with which the matter is being forward
ed.
Among the first to respond to the pa
triotie appeal were the noble ladies who
formed Il commit ittee, presided over hy
Mrs. Eugene Soniat and to them the
popularity of the effort is largely due,
1t is gratifying to know that since the
espousal of his cause by the Chronicle a
Gayarr6 Place has been created as a
pleasant reminder to passing citizens OF
Esplanade street; also that a handsome
portrait has been painted which is t"
be placed in the Capitol building of the
State with appropriate addresses by
Cows McEnery and Nichols.
These things are cheering to the ven-
erable historian, but it should not be
forgotten that be has material wants to
be provided for, and his last days among
us should not be embittered by con-
slant battle with poverty and sacrifice
beyond the power of words to rightly
describe. It really seems as If the day
could not be far distant when complete
