In Memoriam.

DAVID NooNAN JOHNSON, infant
son of Mr.. D. N. and Mrs. Lizzie
johnson: died of flux, after an illness
of IL days, at Lanesport, Webster
parish, on July 26, 1894; aged IL
months and 7 days. Little David
was buried at the Fillmore grave
yard, ia this parish, on the day fol-
lowing his death.
Death has taken from the little
household band the only little son,
the cherished object of fathers
pride and a mothers love. His
happy, bright little span of life has
ended, and the fond eyes of those
who loved him miss his dear little
form, his sunny face and merry
childish ways.
The father mourns his only baby
boy, the object of so much hope and
pride; the mother misses her sweet
and winsome baby. He was so full
of childish charms and brightness,
and his death has shown them how
even little baby can win love and
create happiness.
"Here the Lover of the Lilies
Bade little blossom fold;
He that wakes the flowers shall wake him,
White as snow, with heart of gold"

Men who hold Office for long wears

Men who hold Office for long years
as Democrats and then desert the
party because of its alleged corrup-
ton are generally found among the
Office seekers in the party they afili-
ate with. 1t is curious fact that
as long as they can hold office as a
Democrat they never discover any
thing wrong with the party, and not
one of these righteous politicians
ever resign to associate themselves
with reform movement. It is when
they are let out that they suddenly
become aware of the corruption of
the Democratic party and their voice
is heard denouncing it's methods.
They generally land in the ranks
of the Populists and seek Office there,
but the people of this State are not
in the habit of rewarding political
treachery. and they are seldom sue
cessful. Public sentiment is not likely
to undergo change on this question
and this class of Office seekers will be
permitted to pursue ''their avocation"
without NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

No Free Passes.
New York Herald

New York Herald
An amendment is pending in the
Constitutional Convention at Albany
prohibiting railway companies from
giving free passes to public officials.
The extent of the abuse at which it
is aimed is forcibly illustrated by the
statements made in letter written
by Second Vice President Brooks, of
the Pennsylvania Railway Company,
and submitted to the Convention by
President Choate. In it Mr.. Brooks
says:
There was a time when public
officials were content to receive oc-
casionally trip pass for themselves.
They have learned to ask for passes
for themselves, for members of their
families and for political adherents
and others. They not only ask for
trip passes for themselves and friends,
but they ask for annual passes for
themselves and friends, and no mat
ter how many passes may be granted
to a single individual, if single re-
quest be refused the enmity Of that
official is aroused and his vengeance
exercised if he has an opportunity SO
to do.
"I have known a member of the
Supreme Court of the United States
to apply for free transportation, the
money value of which in a single in
stance was between $500 and $500.
Governors of States, United States
Senators, members of the House of
Representatives, members of every
department of State government,
from the Governor to the janitor, ask
and expect to receive these favors."

A Long and Useful Life Ended.

Mrs. Margaret A. Dalrymple died
at the residence of her grandson,
Mr.. James W. Dixon, at Rush Point,
in Caddo parish, on August LIST;
aged 80 years. Her death was caus-
ed by a congestive chill.
Mrs. Dalrymple was an old resi-
dent of Bossier parish, and widow of
Wilson Dalrymple, who died in this
parish many years ago. She was
born in Ireland.
Early in life deceased became a
member ofthe Presbyterian church.
She was one of the founders of
Rocky Mount Presbyterian church.
After a membership of many years
at that place, she moved her mem
bership to Banks chapel, at Cottage
Grove, of which church she was
a member at the date of her death.
All that was mortal of this good
woman, was followed by a large con-
course of sorrowing friends and rel
atives to her last resting place at
Rocky Mount eemetary last Thurs
day, where the funeral services were
conducted in a most solemn and
impressive manner by Rev. P. 81.
Hensley.

Defaulters generally mean to re-
place the money they appropriate.
They find themselves in need of
funds for some purpose, and having
amounts sufficient in their own keep
ing, an evil spirit whispers, "why
not use it and subsequently replace
it, no one will ever be the wiser?"-
1t is usually easier to yield to temp
tation than to resist it successfully,
and many who would otherwise re-
main honest are led to their ruin by
listening to the whisper, "use it and
replace it, nobody will know it." The
man who has once yielded is liable to
become reckless, and no matter what
the results of his first venture NAV
be he sooner or later casts off all re-
straint, and finds himself confronted
with the results of his wrong doing.
Men who are not successful at
handling their own fortunes can sell
dom be relied on to manage others.
The custodians of public funds should
be tried for their efficiency as well as
honesty and gauged to a large extent
by their success in private as we'll as
public affairs.

The tariff question is not so small a
matter as some suppose. The amount
of revenue to be raised from this
source is roundly estimated at $780,
100000. Now if that was all the sub
ject involves, it wovld hardly be
worth making a racket about. But
it is estimated by statisticians that
for every dollar that goes into the
treasury four dollars go directly to

the tariff tax foot up $1,250, 900, 900,

Government Ownership.

The constantly. recurring troubles
with railroads and railroad employees
will help to swell the number of the
advocates of government ownership
of the means of transportation
Everywhere men are saying in dis
eussing the strike: "The govern
ment will have to take charge of
these railroads and run them. It is
the only way to prevent strikes with
the violence and bloodshed attending
them" But we do not realize the
insuperable difficulties in the way.
How are we to get the railroads. 7 To
confscate them would be open rob-
berry which no right thinking citizen
would contemplate for a moment
Topay for them would involve debt
of billions of dollars-a debt which
like our immense war debt would,
in the end, come out of the pockets
OF the people. To operate the great
system would involve an army of en-
ployers so vast that its power in the
hands of any political party would be
intolerable, and perpetual menace
to free government. If we had in
this country a civil service system
equal to that of England we might,
under stress of dire necessity, con-
template government ownership and
control of railroads, but under our
present imperfect system let it be a
dernier resort. Such control will
only be justifable when all other
means fail. The magnitude of the
change involved, and the uncertainty
of the experiment, should cause us to
invoke every other means of control.
It is plain that we have not in
voked all the means of government
control open to us, just as it is plain
that there is a dire necessity con-
fronting us to do so. We have not
gone to the limit in prescribing the
conditions under which railroad cor
porations may operate their property.
We have not prevented by law the
many unjust determinations made by
railroads between shippers-the fa-
voritism bestowed upon the strong
and against the weak. We have not
invoked the strong arm of the law in
favor of justice to the weaker COM
munities and the small towns-re-
quiring railroads to observe the prin-
ciple of like service for all persons on
the same terms. We have permitted
the railroads to build up great COM
commercial centers at the expense of
the country and the smaller cities
and towns. We have seen them enrich
the great shippers and impoverish
the small ones. Efforts have been
made from time to time through
State and National legislation to
right these wrongs, but they have
been only partially successful. 1t
would be very unwise, however, to
try the doubtful and dangerous ex-
pertinent Of government ownership
without invoking every remedy
known to the laws.
