A Dilemma.

Mr. Samuel Douglas McEnery is
now being vigorously whooped up as
a candidate for governor by the
~lotteryites, and as there are several
things 10 this gentleman's biography
of an unsavory character, the pub.
lie press is bringing those traits to
light and the name of McEnery is
being trai!ed through the mud and
filth Of the lottery campaign and
withoat doubt will continue so to be
80 long as he remains a candidate
for governor. Now as Mr.. Douglas
McEnery is a Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of Louisiana, he owes it to
decency as well as to the Court and
himself to at once resign his posi-.
ton as lottery candidate for gover~
nor and declare that he will not
accept or be the candidate of the
le ttery or else to resign his position
as Judge and enter the campaign
for all he is worth, bnt decently he
a not be both judge and candi-
date.
Which horn of the dilemma will
he take? We now invite him to
resign his Office as Justice Of the
Supreme Court without delay.

The somewhat noted horse case of
Barrow vs. Leblanc, for the possess
sion of a horse stolen several years
ago from Leodias Leblanc Of Prairie
Greig, was tried before Judge
Mouton, this term of court, and
occupied nearly a week. Some pretty
tall swearing was done in the case
and after duly weighing the facts
the judge decided in favor Of Mr..
Leblanc, in whose possession the
horse now is.

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.

Six members of the city school board
are to be chosen by popular election the
first Monday in July; that is to say, in less
than Jwc weeks from date, and iuasmuch
as no nominations have been made, no con-
ventions called and no movement taken
looking TO the placing of candidates in the
field, the people are iuquiring as to what
Is TO be done. Several of these queries
have reached TEE HERALD, and We have
been asked if there were TO be several
tickets put up. This paper can speak only
for itself, but we believe we can voice the
sentiment OF the great majority of the
people Of the city, without regard to the
party politics OF individuals. We believe
that sentiment is decidedly opposed, first,
TO carrying party politics into this matter.
and, second, to anything savoring OF
political campaign at this time. If there
Is any place out of which politics should
be kept, it is the school board So far as
our observation has been able to discover
politics has not entered into the delibera-
tons OF the board during the past year,
the board is made up of men
OF radically different opinions, polit-
ically. The abilities and energies
of the members have been exercised
in the interest of education, as was proper,
and because this has been SO TIE HERALD

as ten men could be expected to exercise.

ever the contemplate insult is uttered or

The answer thus far made to iusinua-
lions Of ''setting sside'' or Of bribery by
the church, has been a prompt and singing
declaration that the statement is .
lie. II the insinuation should ever be
made directly, there is no doubt that
the answer would be correspondingly di-
rect: "You are q liar, sir" Busy and
sincere men are likely to forget themselves
when so exasperating an insult as this Is
offered them. And we are not prepared to
say that it would be improper for any man
to resent the cowardly imputation that he
is rogue and hypocrite, in language suited
to repelling such insults.
But we urge the use OF moderate Ian
guage and temperate expressions, even
when, as in this case. the retort Of insulted
seems inevitable. We suggest
that a little judicious ridicuie will more
silence the misinformed dupes OF
the Tribune, than any other course. Be

Joe AKulhattan Locked Up on 9 Charge O
 Larceny in PdttsburR.


 Larceny in Pittsburg.
 PITTsBURG, Nov. 12-Joseph Mulhat- tan, well known the country over as "Orange Blossom" the writer of some of the most startling and marvelously untrue stories ever published, is behind the bars at Central Police Station, this city, charged with larceny.
 Patrick O'Toole, young railroad man, who met Mulhattan for the first time Tuesday night, makes the charge O'Toole and Mulhattan met in a Grant street saloon and soon became the best of friends. They remained together un- til too late for O'Toole to catch his train. O'Toole readily accepted Null hattan's invitation to share his room and bed
 Yesterday morning when O'Toole awoke Mulhattan was missing, also a roll of money from his pockets. O'Toole complained to the police and Mulhattan was soon under arrest but denies taking any money from his friend. The exact amount missing, however, was found in Mulhattan's possession. Before being locked up Milhattan appealed to the inspector to be released and said: q am the only Orange Blossom the greatest liar in the world"
 'I do not think your reputation will aid you much now" replied the officer, as he turned the key in Muhattan' s cell
 About two months ago Mulhattan was released from a Chicago inebriate asy- lum. He has been in Pittsburg about one week.
