Should the stranger who thus succumbed

have ample opportunity of eliminating Mr.
Peters from the range Of practical

The ULTIMATUM.-It is said
that Mark Hanna as the power be.
bind the Mckinley throne, has adj
vised the .dissen,ieut factions of
Louisiana Republicans that they
must adjust their differences aud
come to an harmonious agreement
upon the question of Federal ap-
pointments or they would not soon
receive any recognition in the
matter of the distribution of Lou.
isiana patronage. Mark is in a
position now 10 control the situa,
ton aud the discordant elements
must comply with his demands,
else he will take the reius in his
own hands and ignore the leaders
Of the respective factions entirely.
1t is safe to assume, however, that
the 'sLily Whites" will be accord.
ed but slight recognition, while
the "Regulars" will receive the
''lion's share" of the official pat
ronage to he dispensed by the
President.

AMBASSADoRIAL POSSIBILITIES.
Rumor says that General Horace
Porter, of New York, will be ap
pointed as Ambassador to France,
to succeed the Hon. James B, Eus-
tbs, of Louisiana. That Mr.. John
Hay will be appointed Ambassa-
dor to the Court of st. James, vice
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, now Gu
route to this country. The news.
mongers also declare that Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas, will he ten
dered the Mexican mission. IVhe.
Their or not the qnid nuacs have
struck..the right key notes in these
several instances, brief space of
time will determine. While there
are applicants for all the other for.
eign missions, it seems that we
have no patriot who is exceeding
" anxious to represent this coun.
try at the Court of Madrid, be.
cause of the strained relations be.
tween the United States and Spain
and The inteuse feeling existing in
the latter agaiust the former coun.
try, growing out of the supposed
sympathetic attitude of the people
OF this country towards the Gu
bans in their efforts to throw off
the Spanish yoke. Hence, it is
not unlikely that Hannis Taylor
will be requested by President
to remain in Spain for
some time to come.

A Bomb Shell.

1t seems that President McKin,
ley has thrown a bomb shell into
the camp Of the army Of office
seekers now besieging the national
capital, which has exploded aud
thrown their ranks into the utmost
confusion and consequent conster-
nation. The cause CT all this ter.
ror and alarm, appears to have
originated from a gentle, but posi-
tive intimation by, the President
that all these 'torphens" seekers
will have ample time to return
home, remain two months and at
tend to their usual ayOcations, as
he intends to regard most scrupu
lousy the ancient Latin maxim,
festina lcnte, III the matter of max
ing appointments. Had they Civ.
en- him credit for half the political
sagacity which he has Developed
in his long and arduous official Ca
reer, they might have known that
he was too shrewd to dispense any
Federal patronage, except to fill
positions in the diplomatic ser
vice, etc, rendered absolutely ne
cessary by designations of Demo
cratic officials, preferring to keep
in allegiance the right to Eli such
positions and hold each of them as
a rod in te'rOrem over the heads of
in extraordinary ses.
sion, to compel them to agree to
the passage of a protective tariff
bill and other measures in cOnson-
ance with his views.

Action For Disbarment Com
menced.

A petition has been filed in the
Civil District Court for the Parish
of Orleans by a committee of the
Law Reform Association, for the
disbarment of Lionel Adams,
charged with unprofessiOnal con.
duet in the prosecution of Maurice
j. Hart, in that, while he had been
employed to assist the District At
torney, he also sought and accept
ed employment, as well as compen-
sation from the defendant. AS
the evidence against him is posi-
tive and direct, and not susceptible
of being impeached or coutrover-
ted, it is quite likely that the fihal
trial of the case will result in
judgment of disbarment and the
erasure of his name FROM the hon.
Ored roll of Louisiana attorneys.
Just why he should have acted III
such perfdious and double deal.
ing capacity, passes the compre.
hensi0n of the ordinary mortal,
when it is known that he had
achieved an unusually brilliant re.
putation as a criminal lawyer
although quite young and of limi,
ted experience-apd had lucra~
tive practice, sufficient to make
him comfortable financially and
place him beyond the reach of
temptation.
His friends, and they are legion,
who have regarded with pride the
gradual ascent of this young man
to the highest rung of the legal
ladder, must necessarily be over
with a revulsiOn of senti
ment and shudder with feelings of
horror when they realize the ill.,
considered and fatal mistake,
which has caused this ouce re-
splendent legal luminary to be
eclipsed by the shadow of crilni
nal practice.
