&c. It is useless for US to tell our
readers about the past, for they and
the whole of Boosters populace know
the history of the Banner. How 1t
was established in 80, suspended
during the war for more than three
wears, and has been run with fairly
GOOD success ever since. We have
always endcavored to make the Banner
a clean, moral and instructive news
paper worthy of the confidence, re-
spect and support of the good people
of this parish. How we'll we have
succeeded in this is for others to say.
We will ever be found working for
the upbuildipg Of and advancing OF
Bossier and her institutions. AS in
the past, the Banner will be strictly
and uncompromisingly Democratic,
conservative, but always loyal. How
ever, we do not believe in the abuse
of others because they differ with us
politically, religiously or otherwise
The Banner aims to "tote fair IN

In conclusion, we will say, that We

European Alliances.

1t is evident that the Triple ALI
ance has been considerably weakened
by the events OF the past year. What
ever may be said to the contrary,
Prince Bismarck's disclosure of his
own treachery in conspiring with
Russia against Austria has shaken
the latter's faith in her German ally,
and the two powers are, further, not
in accord Oh the eastern question,
Germany not sharing Austria's fear
of the effect of Russian control of
Constantinople. Italy, through her
recent commercial treaty with
France, has drawn nearer to her
former friend and liberator, desires
to approach neaser still and SO cur
tail her military expenditure, and in
the hope of securing plebiscite to
that end, will order new elections
next month. Apart from the greater
benefit to be gained from a better
understanding with France, the
Roman government is doubtless fully
alive to the fact that its recent policy
has brought it nothing but embar.
rassment and discredit, and that the
alliance in which it has trusted re.
fused to save it from humiliation in
Africa. just now Haly's safest ally
would be England, the interests oil
the two powers in the Mediterranean
being identical, though in the long
run her best position would be thai
of independence, choosing now ono
ally and then another as circumstan.
ces might dictate. The alliance thus
grows weaker, aud although it would
be unsafe to predict its spec ay dis
solution, it is difficult to believe thai
it will be maintained many years, o.
that when it b,eaks up, both th,
great European leagues will not b.
recast on more natural lines. Tina
between France and Russia is fa
more homogeneous than that which
unites the central powers, for it bind.

The Catahoula News, speaking Of
mob violence, says that the laws
failure is not due to defects in the
law, but to the people themselves.
It says:
Many have been the cases in this
parish, and it is not an exception,
where the guilt of the sarty has been
indisputably established, yet the jury
was not out for deliberation fifteen
minutes before returning verdict
of acquittal. Indeed, such has been
the case so often that you frequently
hear it said that there are three
things which no man could bet on
with the least degree of certainty,
and one of these is as to what would
be the verdict of the jury in a crimi-
nal case. Jurors too often allow
their feelings of friendship, sympa-
thy or prejudice to carry them out
eide of the evidence of the case, and
to render a verdict absolutely mex.
| cusable. In such cases it is not cor
rect to charge the responsibility to
the law The reform we need is not
so muce in the laws, but we want a
greater respect for the law on the
part of the people, healthy state of
public sentiment, the good and law
making people to back up the courts
and the officers, and when called to
sit in judgment to make true de-
liverance in accordance solely with
the evidence. When such becomes
the case, the principal excuse will
have disappeared and mob violence
in great measure will cease.
