WRTUOUS INDIGNATION OUT OF
PLACE.

Certain newspapers, friendly to
Governor Foster, needn't grow SO
virtuously ~ indignant at the charge
that be has made a comb nation with
the disreptuab!e Fitz, whereby the
governor is to be reelected and the
election laws are to remain rs they
are, that Fitz may manipulate them
to suit himself, If reports are true,
and we believe they are, this would
not be the first time that Mr.. Foster
attempted combine with Mayor
Fitzpatrick. He WAS charged with
it before, and at the time friends,
equally as devoted a, those who now
rant around in holy Indignation at
the charge, said, when told of it,
what if he did, that's politics."
We believe our governor none too
good to do it, and it seems to rs that
journals could be engaged in other
business more conducive to the States
interests, and especially would it be
more laudable, than trying to deceive
our people into the belief that our
present governor is saint, politically
or otherwise. Ia politics we know
the appellation is misnomer.
To the credit of our Louisiana Sen
ators be it said that they declined to
join the junto of Democratic malcon-
tents in the Senate who combined
with the Republicans to make war on
the Presidents nominees. Senators
White and Gallery refused to enter
into the disgraceful combination of
Senators Hill and Murphy and voted
as did the majority Of Democratic
Senators, for the conhrmat on OF Mr..
Peckham. All honor to them for so
doing, IN. O. States.

COleridge recalled the saying that in
Gen. Washington's time a man could
throw dollar across the Potomac,
Evarts replied, ayes, but a dollar
would go good deal farther in those
days than it will now" In telling
the story this way, an important
stitch is dropped. The happy retort
OF Evarts was that Washington him.

dollar across the Potomac when he

says that the demand for il has for u
good while been greater than the sup
ply, and he believes that the pro-
ducers of it have been discouraged by
the newspapers For years past
number of papers have often taken
occasion to sneer ut II great deal of
the poetry thrown on the market, and
the younger poets especially have felt
disheartened under the sighting re-
marks of writer's who were unable to
appreciate their verse. 1t is evident
that these poets are determined to
withhold their products from the pub
lie until such time rs they can have II
reasonable assurance of better treat
ment. The older poets are hardened
