Tho Picavune in commenting on
the Governors appointment of the
Board of Assessors for the city of
New Orleans says
They were all supporters of Gov
ernor Foster i'll the late gubernatori-
al campaign, and some were very
active in their respective wards as
political workers.
The same truth will apply to the
appointments in the several country
parishes, and it is but natural that
Governor Foster should favor his
immediate Jealous supporters as far
as possible, always provided he had
enough of favors to go the grand
rounds, otherwise many heretofore
jealous adherents who had rendered
the Governor faithful service will
feel themselves badly sighted and
mjustly dealt with, producing the
natural consequences that crop out
of all such feelings. Many doubt
the wisdom of Governor Foster in
selecting all bis appointees from
among his own Immediate faction;
they regard such course as tend
ing to keep up the factional fight
instead of producing harmony in the
ranks of the Democracy of the
State, which in itself must be ruin
Gus to his future political prospects.
Ii has been wisely said by popular
friend of ours: eff / had a politi-
cal enemy l wished TO destroy, !
could desire no more destructive
weapon to use upon him than to in
vest him with the extraordinary APP
pointing power the present Cover
nor of the State of Louisiana now
possesses"
Disappointed aspirants from
among his own faction will be found
snarling at his heels fast and furi-
GUS, and they in their disappoint-
ment, and consequent hatred, will
make common cause together in OPP
position to any future aspirations
he may have.
The Foster applicants for the As
sessorships throughout the State
were small army in themselves,
while the favored appointees are !
mere corporals guard in COM carlson
to uphold and sustain any future de-
mands that may be made by the
person exercising the appointing
power at present, to say nothing
about the unwise policy Of Ignoring
altogether the opposite faction of
the same party.

BUSINESS FROM NOW ON.

Careful observation deveiopes the
fact that the people for the past
year have had complete surfelt OF
politics in tits State, whatever may
happen 10 be their political condi-
ton in neighboring States.
Tie experience Of the Numerous
sspirants for Office has, with few
favored exceptions, established the
MAN CANNOT LIVE by POLITICS ALONE,
and it is well for the public Welfare
that the fact is fully established, so
that from now or the people gener-
ally will become self supporting and
business all over.
The Office seeking mania has be-
come veritahie curse to the coun-
try. A Bile bodied men capable of
producing from the soil an abund-
ant living have joined the grand
army of Office seekers, in endless
numbers. Mechanics, have left
their trades and callings, while strip
.Ings barely past the age of minor
ism rush to the front in pursuit of
some paying position, and it would
be safe to say that nine tenths of
the Office seeking horde, have
neither the experience or ability to
fill the positions they aspire to-.
The reason We say it will be bust
ness from now on sure enough, Is
because the political disease of Office
seeking which has prevailed in this
state, and indeed all over the coun-
try, is sure to work Its own cure.
The aspirants were fearfally numer-
GUS, and still are, as far as the Fed
eral positions are concerned, IN some
Instances as many as twenty for one
pitiful position; the result is evident,
nineteen individuals left out in the
cold to chew the cud ofbitter disap-
pointment and experience the folly
of abandoning the legitimate bust
ness Of life, which is to be self sup
porting.
1t used to be in primitive times
that the office sought the man; now,
men without number, ability or jndg-
ment, seek the office. This is an evil
that cannot possibly long exist, be-
cause Office seeking like water, is
bound to find its level, and in that
insane pursuit, barring occasional
faetional favoritism, it is bound in
the course of of human events to be-
come ssthe survival of the fittest. "
We offer these remarks in good
faith to the grand army of disap-
pointed aspirants in this State, now
the Governors appointing power is
about exhausted; and indeed, there
will be another army of the same
kind of huge proportions left when
the Federal pap has been finally dis
tributed by President Cleveland
To both, State, land Federal dis
appointed aspirants to bel we earn
estly and sincerely say, buckle down
to legitimate business from now on,
and let Office seeking go to the dem
milton bow vows.

During the cold spell last week
some big hearted benevolent person
IN Baton Rouge, who did not want
his name known, made the Advo-
cate Of that city his agent TO dis
tribute and deliver coal for two days
to all the needy persons applying in
the Capitol City who were not able
to buy it. Such thoughtful, timely
relief extended to suffering humani-
" is worthy Of more than ordinary
mention. II does one good away
down deep to read of such unostenta-
tious doings. Such noble acts ele-
vate humanity up to the high stand
ard the Creator intended it should
occupy. and it would be well for the
world If the gentleman of Baton
Rouge had numerous imitators these
hard times when the whole world
seems to be on Wild hunt after
wealth.
