The new APPOINTMENT Of scoumi

The new appointment Of scommis-
sioners Of the Fifth Levee District is
anxiously looked for by ALI the in
habitants Of the valley from the Ark
ansas line to the mouth Of Red River,
because the best season for work is
rapidly passing away, aud there is a
large amount of necessary repairs
and new work to be done ID the
several parishes to ensure protection
from overflow. We sincerely hope
Governor Foster will see his way to
name the new board at an early day.

GIVE US A REST.

mere Is much diSapPointnfehtp pre-
vailing among the Louisiana Dem
ocraey because of the thoughtless
and aggravating revival of old fac
tiohal issues by the ofiicious and over
Jealous ,partizans that took part in
the late unpleasant and Improbable
contentious.
Nearly every week we are brought
face'to face with some offensive and
uncalled for paragraph, telling of a
rFosterlte' s exploits or MeEneryiteis
wrong doing-rehearsing the zeal
and fair-mindedness of some faith
full anti-lotteryy adherent, or the
abandoned gambling proclivities Of
some fallen Democrat that bowed the
knee to,the. Morris money bags. dss
The promised peace and harmony
cannot possibly exist while such allu-
sions to the unpleasant, past are con-
tinuously pushed to the front from
one side CT the other, and it is GER
tainiy about time we were getting a
rest from all such frivilous freaks.
No matter how innocent the, intent,
or harmless the wording all such
things should be seriously Ignored
by those who desire an united Dem
rocraey in Louisiana. rs
We find one of the innocent kind
of illusions We refer to in a late issue
of the Caucasian. Mr.. james N.
Martin had been a, faithful deputy
under Sheriff Lake in s, Caddo
for twelve years, but Sheriff Yong,
Lakes successor in Office, selected
some one in place of Martin. The
Caucasian in referring to the matter
eulogizes Martin highly and closes
with the following. climax:
He was one of the most Jealous on
the anti-lottery side and worked
assiduously to promote the success
of Governor Foster and the triumph
of the anti-lottery cause in Caddo
parish. He contributed, according
to his means, as much. if not more,
than quite a number of the leaders
