in your scrap book: Tie first capt
tai Of Louisiana was at Now Orleans.
Then it was moved to Donallsonville ;
then back to New Orleans, and finally
to Baton Rouge, where it was at the
beginning of the Civil war. After
the capture of Baton Rouge by the
the Federals the capital was removed
by Gov. Allen (tLo Confederate Gov
ernor) to Alexandria, and finally to
Shreveport, where Michael Hahn,
elected Governor by the parishes

in New Orleans until December, 1879,
when under the new condition and
by popular vote, it was removed to
Baton Rouge, where it has been ever
since.-LAkc Charles Press.

STICK TO PKINcIpLE-Thc Governor
of Georgia takes the position on the
tariff that tho South should have
protection on those articles she pro
duces. He explains that lie is op-
posed to protection rs principle,
but it is y game of grab, and the
South should set Ler share of the
swag. We agree with the Dirming-
ham State that tits is a dubious sort
of attitude fer a public man to take.
If you see lot of men stealing, and
you are rowcrlcss to Le,p it, are you
Justified in holding out your hand
and demanding portion of the ILL.,
gotten gains? If the South takes
her share Of the Doodle, size will be
the receiver of stolen goods and
equally guilty with tho thief. We
believe in sticking to principle, even
if it does hurt It will be far better
in tie long run. Self-rcspcct is bet
ter than riches -NdShrHlc SIN.

If privileged corporations were
more inclined to treat tie people

fairly they would get along much
better. 1t is the disregard of such
