PUBLIC OPINION.

can not do better than re-nomin ate
Hon. r. F. Broussard of Iberia.
Mr.. Broussard's first term in the
House of Representatives has I'M
questionably been for the best in
terest of the people whom he re-
presents. He has made a vast num-
Der of friends by his votes and by
his speech against the annexation of
the island of Hawaii. We hear ev-
cry day men say they will vote for
Mr.. Broussard, if nominated, even
if they did fight him two years ago.
Mr.. Broussard has done as much
for his district as any one could
have during the past two years of
warlike excitement and action. He
has done some very important work
He first got Major Quinn of the
United States engineer corps to take
a trip up the Teche with view of
locking, dredging and clearing that
portion of the stream SO as to have
navigation for the Teche all the
round. This matter was almost
brought to a finish when the war
came on. He then did good work
toward supplying fish for our in
land waters, and also for the jetties
at the mouth of the Calcasieu when
both of these important works were
interrupted by the declaration Of
war for which Mr.. Broussard voted.
St. James Gazette: Even this
war has now degenerated into one
of conquest and territorial extension;
it originated in charitable and
hum unitarian purpose and it would
be peculiar indeed if, VIII list actuated
by such a purpose with regard to
the condition of others, we should
ignore all sense of charity and hu-
manity when dealing with our own
soldiers and allow them to languish
and perish from disease in the pest,
hole at Santiago. rather than have
our division generals commit such
a grievous breach of military disci-
pine, as writing and submitting to
conditions. That the auth critics
did not SO consider it, is evident
from the fact that the appeal was
Immediately complied with and the
tainly be more propos if turned
to those companies of United States
soldiers who prove terror to the
towns in which :hey are modified.
Daily Picayune: Assistant Sur
geon Lewis Duncan, of the Twenty
second Kansas Regiment, has been
playing the role of the hyena in
plundering the graves of the dead
Confederate soldiers on the old
Bull Run battle field. Those dead
Confederates have been buried for
more than thjrty-fve years, and
only their bones can at this time
be in any state of preservation. 1t
is supposed that this human jackal
wants to display his trophies at his
home in Kansas. and as he has robbed
the graves Of persons whose names
were inscribed on the headstones,
he would be able, when Parading
his CHASTITY and sac religious spoils,
to say that particular skull is that
of such a t<rebel," and a designated
thighbone is the relic of such anoth-
err "traitor." But it SO happened
that the military authorities
got information Of Duncan's
grave-robbing exploits, and brought
him up with round turn. He is
to be tried by court-martial, and If
he gets his dues he will be dishon-
orably dismissed from the army.
His despicablc conduct merits moth
ing less.

AN AMuSING INCIDENT.

An amusiug story was told by the
ooys of tue Second regiment on their
return from Jacksonville. Like nearly
all the rest of the southern soldiers.
Th. did not relish the idea of being
paid off Dy the colored paymaster, Ma
jor Lynch, but being inclined to sea in
nim only an official OF Uncle Sam they
tookwnat money was due them and went
their way rejoicing. They say that
while Major Lynch, in all The glory OF
his regimentals, aud looking as Salts
fed as possible was handing the money
over to the soldiers, al old army mule,
wnich seemed to take upon himself a
perfect right to 90 where he pleased,
suddenly appeared il front of the pay
masters tent, and after gazing around
for moment or TWO raised his head and
glance toward The negro officer. The
situation was for awhile evidently he
youd the mules apprehension, for he
gazed at Mejor Lynch in seemingly
astounded manner, all the while roll
ing his head from one side to the other.
Finally the full force of it all seemed TO
dawn upon him, and he fell to the
ground giving vent 10 his feelings in
bravs that could be heard for mile
away. The mule was indeed a~fully
sick, but he finally recovered, and pick
ing himself up walked slowly from the
field. The animals conduct was greet
ed with roars OF laughter from the SOL
diers. and even Major Lynch descended
from his dignity, and laughed heartily.

MAGICAL ILLUMINATION.

The electrical decorations of the
Knights Templar conclsve nj Pittsburg
durii g the past week lar surpassed any
thing heretofore attempted, consider
ably more than quarter OF a million OF
lamps having been specially installed.
Not only were the whole sides Of sky
scraper office buildings covered with
Masonic embl, ms in different coiored
oectric lights, but light pictures Of
knights on horseback galloping across
tne sky were projected upon II c clouds
Nasty of the Communicates spent what
would eenernlly be considered fabulous
sums in the electrical decorations OF
tnelr rooms anG the erection of beautiful
arches spanning the principal thorough
fares In fact, the whole city was Que
blaz7 of electric lights and these decora
tjous formed one of the great attractions
OF the week.
One large cross OF electric lights prom
iGeatlv displayed contained no fewer
THAI 10000 lamps Another conspicu
uus emblem that was worked out in in
caudescent lamps was so large that it
could be read TWO miles away, wecom
toc me Sir Knights to Pittsburs.
81 lavish was the display of electric
lamps that it was a matter of specula
uon where all the Gynamos TO supply
the curr, mt for them were located and
tere were all the engines secured to
drive them. Tne thought most deep
st impressed by these decorations was
what would it all amount to if they
were lett out. All large exp, s..
tions depend upon the decorative
fleet of the electric light 10 obtain
striking results and wha5 would any
of the popular summer or suburban
resorts he without their blsze or elec-
tric ligh;?
Another unique service arising out Of
he great crowds ir small ;own was
he use OF the phone as a method OF
2etliug the proper carriages at the grand
reception at Duau-sne Garden. Near
h. doorway telephone switchboard
was placed and connections were made

operator informed each station by
