The death in Washington of Hon.

Genial, generous, brave, devoted to
his friends and never unjust to bis foes,
with whom he was ever ready to do
battle on fair field, John Ellis was
enshrined deeply in the hearts of
Louisianans. lie was ever ready to
serve them at any cost or sacrifice,
and he came out of public place, which
he held for so many years by the
suffrages of his fellow citizens, poor
in this worlds goods and unstained

There was no limit to the desire Of
his constituents to honor him, but he
was forced by his poverty finally to
decline the responsible favors which
were showered upon him, aud he at
last settled down in Washington TO
practice his profession for livelihood
for his family, but never forgetting
his love for Louisiana.
Devoted friend, his loyal heart
beats no longer, SilvCr,tongued

He did the full measure of a mans
work in his day, and he leaves an
honored name and the record of an
honorable life. 1t will be hard to

The belief is SAID to be growing in
London that the Times will be forced
into actual bankruptcy as a conse-
quence of its crusade on "ParnelIsm
aud crime" Its managers eagerly
urged the appointment of the invesli.
eating commission, it is said, in the
belief that the paper would receive a
grant from the crown, but the develop,
ment of tho Pigott conspiracy makes
that impossible. The expense of the
investigation, which is really trial of
the whole Irish party, has been opor,
nous, and the Times is liable for large
amounts in damages to the men whom
it has DETAINED. If bankruptcy should
really oyerlake the Times, it will be
tho greatest Tebuke ever administered
to blind, nnreasouiRg partisan haired.

Question: Can you get more butter
from the separator system?" Answer:
" can get from ten to fifteen per cent
more.n
Question: "Why do we have so
much poor butter in the market?"
Answer: "Want of cleanliness from
the front of the COW to the backside of
the house."
Mr.. Hazen gave a remarkable fact in
regard to mixing milk of different COWS.
He had farrow COWS (natives) which
were fed high, and the cream from
their milk was put with that of Jersey
cows in full milk. He found by churn-
ing separately that he was only getting
about thirty pounds of butter when he
ought to have got 160 Jersey cream
will churn quicker than native. If he
had Jersey herd, he would not put in
Holstein. If he had Hostein herd,
he would put in Jersey or two to have
some butter. Yet Mr.. Hazen thought
other herds could be bred to make but
ter as well as the Jersey.
In the evening programme was car
ried out by the ladies with Mrs. j. B.

n. Gilfillan, Mrs. Robert Gates and
Mrs. James Doe. Besides music from
time to time, there were selections pat
to the general topic by Miss Anna Nc
Lam, Miss Fanny Gibson, Miss Nellie
Hersey, Mrs. Alex. Cochran and Mrs.
ID. Buchanan. Miss Hotchkiss gave
recitation which brought down the
house when she detailed Mr.. Spoopen-
dykes experience in farming. Re-
marks followed by the resident clergy
men, Professor Dole, NJ. w. Davis and
others. There was full house and
many truths were presented which hit
the mark that would have failed in any
other way. The entire session of the
institute was well attended, and the
sum total is that it was pleasant and
profitable success. WING.

Badly Mixed.

The st. Adams Messenger, in a re-
cent issue, INDUCED in some sage ed
itorial comments on the outcome of the
Parnell case, concluding with the grave
announcement that the case has been
dismissed from court, with costs against
the Times, which will mount up into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars"
Alas, guileless contemporary, permit
us to observe that you are several de-
grees off your focus. The case to
which you refer, and which has been
under investigation before the Parnell
commission in London, was not dis
missed from court with costs against
the Times, and the commission has by
no means reached the end of its labOrs,
although the main point at issue-the
authenticity of the letters attributed to
Parnell-has been settled. The action
for libel, brought by Mr.. Parnell against
Mr.. Walker of the Times in the Scotch
courts, was on Tuesday of last week
dismissed with costs by consent of Mr..
Parnell's counsel. Our slipshod con-
temporary got this Scotch action con-
fused with the London case. Hence
its unfounded statement that the latter
case had been dismissed. AS to the
further declaration that the costs to be
paid by the Times would mount up
into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars" that simply testifies to the ex-
tremely salubrious-not to say stimu-
lated-condtion of the editors i'm
agination. The costs in the Scotch case
were probably not sufficient to bankrupt
even the Messenger establishment, and,
moreover, were not paid by the Times,
but by Parnell. Thus the Messenger
shows again that accuracy of statement,
particularly when handl NO fggers, -
! is not its forte. If it would not be i'm
pertinent, we would inquire in this
connection if our contemporary has adj
vanced far enough in the rudiments of
finance to present the facts to verify
its statement made last fall that S437,-
600 is &" nearly fifty per cent in excess
of the whole expenses of the state an
nually, for all purposes, and even in
the most expensive years?" Surely
by this time he should be able to an.
swer or give it up.

The Cabinet.

For secretary of state, James G. Blaine
of Maine; for secretary of the treasury,
William Window of Minnesota for
secretary of war, Redfeld Proctor of
Vermont; for secretary of the navy,
Benjamin T. Tracy of New York; for
secretary of the interior, John w.
Noble of Missouri; for postmaster
general, John Wanamaker of Penn
sylvania; for encouragement, w. H.
II. Miller of Indiana; for secretary of
agriculture, Jeremiah M. Rusk of Wis
cousin. No reasonable or disinterested
person will feel disposed to quarrel with
President Harrison over his choice of
advisers. His first duty in choosing
the members of his cabinet was to the
country-to select men who have the
ability to conduct their departments
with the highest attainable degree of
efficiency. The welfare of the country,
in the broadcast and most far-reaching
application of the term, depends upon
the wise and faithful administration of
each department of the government.
The success or failure of an administra-
ton is in the successful or faulty adj
ministration of the parts into which the
whole is divided. Mr.. Harrison has
probably satisfied himself that the
men he has chosen are fit men for
the duties that will be intrusted to
them. The people have great conf
dence in the soundness of General Har-
rison's judgment and the sincerity of
his purposes. So they will accept
the cabinet as a whole as an embodi-
ment of the wisdom of a president in
whom they confide, albeit there may
be discovered in some of the selections
trace of the precepts of practical poll
tics. But this can constitute no i'm
parchment of the president. Practical
politics has its legitimate sphere, and
the man who will succeed in politics,
as in anything else, must be practical.
Many may fear that Mr.. Blaine, in the
impact of conflicting views or policies
or wills, which must come in every body
of positive men, may be like a case of
dynamite in a cargo of valuable mer-
chandise. Very likely men like Ev-
arts or Sherman, having the habit of
diplomacy, the GOODNESS of tempera-
ment, the judicial training required
for the successful discharge of delicate
and momentous duties, would have
better satisfied the element that re-
ceived with greatest satisfaction and
feelings of profoundest joy the news
of Harrison's nomination at Chicago
But Mr.. Blaine has learned many
things since he last held public office.
Mr. Harrison is president, and every
action, every incisive word and phrase,
since his nomination and election,
shows that he will be president who
ever may sit at his council board So
there is, in the presidents cabinet ap-
pointments, really no ground for criti-
cism by persons who are disinterested
and who are disposed to be reasonable.

THE home-rule leaders in the British
parliament unspiked their oratorical
batteries last Friday and opened up on
the government strongholds with a
broadside that tore several large-sized
breaches in the already tottering walls.
Mr. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell spoke
on the Irish question in the house of
commons and both made notable
speeches-the former, in particular,
making an address that moved the
members by its imprisoned oratory, as
they have seldom bees moved before.
The London Telegraph says: "The
speech of Mr. Gladstone is historical.
He was seen on the war-path at his best.
His attack on the liberal unionists was
made with tremendous force of INJECT
i've and the sarcasm of great master.
During the speech Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain smiled nervously and glanced
curiously at Mr.. Gladstone, and the
house frequently burst into roars of
laughter. The peroration was spoken
in the character of prophet telling of
wrath to come, with a resonant voice
and flashing eyes, and the aged states
man seemed like another Isaiah crying,
WOE to the high places of Jerusalem.
His last words were Signs of the COM
ing DOOM He finished his speech
amid tempest of cheers"

THE Boston Herald says: Presi-
dent Harrison will have the honor of
announcing, after the 4th of July next,
the fact that the four new states have
conformed to the provisions of the bill
admitting them into the Union, but
that will be an act purely perfunctory.
The honor of making them states be-
longs to President Cleveland's admins
tration exclusively" Permit us to
demur, dear urban contemporary, The
honor of admitting those new states
will belong to the republican party,
and to the republican party exclusively.
If the democratic party had not lost
at the polls in November, those four
territories might have stood knocking
at the door of statehood till their
knuckles wore out before that party
would have taken them in out of the
cold. The first act of the incoming
administration would have been to adj
NIT these territories. This the de-
mocracy foresaw and governed them
selves accordingly. Their change of
base resulted from sort of death-bed
repentance, as it were. The whole
transaction smacks of political trickery,
not of craftsmanship.

VERMoNT's long and unselish devo-

VERMoNT's long and unselish devo-
ton to republican principles receives
its first recognition from President
Harrison. The state has hitherto been
the unvarying victim of practical poll
tics. She has led the way to many
splendid victories only to be persist
emily ignored after the battle has been
fought and the victory won, though no
state in the Union has been able to
present ADLER men for offices of distinc-
ton. Governor Proctor's appointment
to the secretaryship of war is an honor
we'll deserved by the individual recipi-
ent and well merited by the state that
is proud to own him as son.

Iowa has prohibitory law, but not
constitutional prohibition, as has been
affirmed by many papers and speakers.
The people in 1882 adopted a constitu-
tional amendment by large majority,
but, through carelessness or fraud, a
slight variation was found to exist
between the measure as adopted by the
legislature and as voted on by the peo-
pie. Hence the supreme court of the
state decided that there had been nc
addition to the constitution. The
stringent law was at once substituted,
and the people have since acted as
though their constitution was de tacto,
as it certainly is de jure, prohibitory.

The Inaugural.

The presidents address is simply adj
mirable. That clear and incisive way of
putting things that was 80 conspicuous
in his letter of acceptance, and which
showed so clear comprehension of
sound political principles, so strong
grasp of great questions, appears to
still greater advantage in his first official
utterance. Absolutely free from the
" bird-o' freedom " stamp of American
assertion of independence, it It'll con-
veys to foreign powers an expression
of the American idea of European in
reference in the affairs of this western
hemisphere that is calculated to impress
itself upon those powers as much by
its utter reasonableness as by its ex-
hibition of unmistakable resolution
resolution that loses none of its moral
effect because it is absolutely free from
buster. What could be more pertinent
than the words in which the president
states the attitude that European pow
ers must observe toward American af-
fairs; eve have just right to expect
that our European policy will be the
American policy of European courts. ;"
The presidents discussion of domestic
affairs bears the impress of a clear head
and an honest heart. Nothing better
has been said, or so well said, since the
days when Lincoln, in the same city,
read his immortal address. These top
les will come to the front and will be
