Ex-Attorney General Walter H. Rogers,
of New Orleans, has been appointed Live
Stock Inspector of that city. There is a
great difference between the functions of
the chief legal representative of the State
and those of an inspector of cattle, hogs,
etc. A lawyer, representing the interests of
the State in court of justice, cuts quite a
different figure from the same individual
slashing around in COW or hog pen, in
specting these animals. We are Of the
opinion that profound legal knowledge is
qualification for live stock inspector;
but the pay is probably good, and the law
yer who holds the commission can employ
some sensible, practical darky; at com
paratiyely cheap rate, to do the inspecting,
while he sits in the office, otium cum digai-
tate, and signs the papers.

the game to be played on his premises, will
be subject to a fine of not less than 500
nor more than $500, or imprisonment not
less than 30 nor more than 80 days, for both
fine and imprisonment.
The governmental agricultural reports
periodically published are generally unre-
liable. By the time the information reach
es the readers through the press, conditions
have so changed as to often make it worth
less. We are now reading of the excellent
cotton and corn crops, when we know they
have been greatly damaged by the long
rains Agricultural crop reports,
as published, amount to nothing.
The Pinkerton detective agency, social

The above is sample of many para
graphs appearing of late in the country
press. They indicate a growing appreeia
ton of the grave mistake the constitutional
made in removing the State
capital from New Orieans.-City Item.
The grave mistake the constitutional
made, was that 1t did not re-
move the State capital further from New
Orleans. Alexandria is not osaly the terri
torial center OF the State, but tits the center
in the way of facilities to reach il from al
other parts of the State; and the City mem
bers could not leave 1t to run home one or
two days every week.
