TIC EDITORS TALR-

Some Of the newspapers from
almost every section of the State,
particularly the Foster organs,
have been piling abuse and accu-
sations upon the head of D. G..
O'Malley, the proprietor of The
Daley Item, but it appears these
abuses were only prompted with
the idea Of concealing their own
rascality, which The Item has
been exposing. Hicks, of the
Shreveport Progress, who is for
honesty and purity of the ballot
box, and who is for honest officials
and honest government, makes
his money talk, as will be seen
by an article which we publish in
this issue. Hicks wants the
howlers to put up their money and
prove their accus atoms or shut up.
They might shut up, but they Will
never put up.-St. Martinville
Messenger.
Our editor tips his hat to Broth
er Bienvinue for the compliment.
Hunt around in your musings
and see if you have had a new
thought during the past year. See
if you can think of something that
is benefit to yourself and hui
manity during the next year at
least.-Grand Cane Beacon.
Did you ever get onto the fact
that the editor of a paper, however
small and insignificant, might at
some time be of some service to
every man in his community? A
newspaper never forgets a friend
nor forgives an enemy, and is an
enemy to be feared as a line of
type might make or mar a
candidates chances for election.
Therefore, cultivate the newspa-
per man, treat him nicely just or
policy's sake if for no other-La-

Captain John B. Donnally, one
OF the ablest and most popular
Republican leaders in the State
died last Monday. He was prom
inent as member of the Sugar
Teat faction, casting his lot with
the white element of the Republic
can party and became an active
worker therein. He had always
been Republican but until the re-
volt of the sugar planters he had
been out of practical politics. At
the time of his death he was
strong candidate for the Collector
ship at New Orleans, and stood
close to the National administra
ton.

of their number in the vicinity
and act as pickets about the build
ings and see that no non-union men are
employed to fill their places. At q

employ non.union plasterers or hod-
carriers II such an attempt is made

fact to the Building Trades council,
and general strike of all trades on all
buildings affected will be ordered. Sew
eral boss plasterers called on the strike

Many Questions Of General Interest for
President Mckinley to Consider.

many QuestIOnb VI Oenerhi INTEREST IOf
President Mckinley to Consider.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-President
Mckinley is obliged to face at the very
beginning Of his assumption to power
many and important questions affect
ing the foreign relations of the United
States Some of them may be for a
time kept in the background, but
Others of great gravity are likely to
force themselves upon the immediate
attention. Foremost and of the great
est interest to the people Of the
United States is the subject Of rela-
lions towards Cuba. 1t is understood
to be the policy Of the new president
to deal with this matter deliberately
and not to undertake to depart from
the policy with which it has so far
been treated, at least not until inter-
nal financial affairs shall have been
settled. But the situation is such that
it is not safe to predict that through
some act of subordinate among either
the Spanish forces or in the insurgent
lines the administration will not be
forced to depart from its plans and d.
rect attention at short notice to this
dangerous subject.

He Says Cretan Christians Are Of More
Value Than the Powers Displeasure.
ATHENS, March 6. In an interview
in regard to the reply Greece will make
to the identical notes Of the powers in
sisting upon the withdrawal Of the
Greek fleet and troops from Crete with
in the six days from noon last Monday,
King George said: 1.-THE Greek nation
is unable to bear any longer the strain
and excitement caused by constant Gre
tan revolutions, and our finances will
not permit us to support the refugees,
who now number about 1900. Moth
ing will prosper in Greece until the
question is definitely settled. The
autonomy Of Crete is out of the ques-
ton, because the Cretans reject 1t, and
have lost faith in the promises Of the
powers. They prefer to die in their
own defense rather than be slaugh.
tered like the Armenians."
