indicator.
But when the fight is on they
won't be even third in the contest.
We agree perfectlywith the At
takapas Vindicator in the proposl-
ton that the time has come for
Louisiana editors to tell the whole
truth and nothing but the truth con-
Corning the political situation III this
State. Capital Item.
Laws marcy brer Annis is the
minimum that close by?
Health Officers jenkins declares
that he shall continue to quarantine
vessels and to release them from
quarantine according to his views
Of the requirements of special eases
without regard to President Harrl-
sons proclamation.
jenkins will be brought up with
a short pull if he attempts TO boss
Benjamin at New York in such a
serious matter.
Confrere Tcdd of the Bastrop
Clarions, tells of a fresh arrival at
his house after the following fash
ION:
He has good, healthy lungs, and
proposes to do all the sshoIlering'
for the family during the political
campaign. He is terribly stuck on
Cleveland and Stevenson, and is a
democrat from away back. Long
may he wave!
Guice, the ignoramous candidate
for congress in the fourth district,
favors the force bill. Will the
white men of this country who have
gone into the third party, and those
contemplating doing so, follow such
leadership?-Te telegraph Bulletin.
We are not aware of a single
Third partyite in East Carroll,
white or black, but coolies of solid
straightout Democrats.
1t is truly gratifying to find from
the N. o. Republican that its party
finds something to please them
from a Democratic source. 1t says:
Among the recent school board
appointments made by Gov. Foster,
we are pleased to note the names of
several prominent Republicans, resi-
dents of Southwestern Louisiana.
By such non-partisan selections the
Governor shows commendable dis
position to take the public schools
out of politics. 1t is worthy OF
comment.
Four States have already held
their general State elections of 1892
Oregon in June, Louisiana and
Rhode Island in April and Alabama
early in August. In each results
showed Republican gains over the
previous election. Rising Sun Re.
corder.
For gains read losses as far as
Louisiana is concerned. Attempt.
ing to make political capital after
the foregoing fashion, is INDUCING
in forlorn hope to say the least OF
it.
Just as the Post went to press
the sad news of the death of Maj.
A. G. Gibson reached the city by a
telephone message from Kleinston
The message stated that Mr.. Glib.
son fell from the Transfer steamer
Northern Pacific and was drowned
before aid could reach him. Maj.
Gibson is brother of Mrs. DR..
Hardaway and Mr.. Tobias Gibson,
of this city.Vicksbug Post, Sept. 5.
We enjoyed the acquaintance Of
Albert for a long number of years.
A kindlier man and more generous
hearted citizen never breathed. Rest
his soul in peace.

] do not see how any Christian
man who does not deliberately chos,

The Reverend Political Preache
seems to have lost all hope that hi
