NOT all PIGMIES.

The Alexandra Democrat re-
marks that with the exception OF
Ben Spencer and E. john Ellis
Louisiana has sent only pigmies to
Congress since the war. The Dem
ocrat is pleased to add, however,
that in the Fourth district the peo-
pie will have an opportunity to de-
eide between Sutherlin and Brea-
zeale, who, in the opinion of the
Democrat, are immeasurably supe-
rior to the post-bellum delegations
with the exception of Spencer and
Ellis.
We believe that the esteemed
Rapides contemporary has over
drawn the picture. In its great ad-
miration for ante-bellum statesmen
the Democrat forgets that since the
late war Louisiana has been repre-
sented in Congress by men who
ing to a race of pigmies. Randall
l.. Gibson, James B. Eustis, Ed
ward White, have represented the
old Pelican State with conspicuous
ability. No one will even hint that
these men appeared as pigmies in
the American Congress. Coming
down to the present day, we have
Caffery and McEnery. It is true
that one has switch ed off on gold
buggism and the other on Dlng1ey-
ism, but who will dare call either an
intellectual pigmy7
We are told by the Democrat
that we have not had a man of abili-
ty in Congress since Boatner retired
to private life and Blanchard as
cended the supreme. How the
Alexandria editor has made pigmy
of White and giant of Blanchard
we would like to know, and by
what process of reasoning he has
reached the same conclusion as to
Eustis and Boatner it is hard to say.
Our brainy men are not all dead.
There are few left in the land.

AN EZECZITE JUDICZARI

The people of New Orleans are
not now SO certain that they wanted
an elective judiciary. The nomina-
ton of Otero and Duggan appear
to be the cause Of dissatisfaction IN
that city and it is announced that
independent candidates will be
brought out against the Dem ocratic
nominees. The ward bosses, as
could well have been expected, die
tated the nominations regardless of
any other consideration but the
furtherance Of their own political
schemes. While there are many in
stances where excellent judges have
been elected through political COM
binations, it seems to be the expe-
rience of history that judges who
are nominated by political bosses
and elected by dickers and bargains
do not, as a rule, give to the bench
that spotless character which enti-
ties it to the whole confidence of the
masses so necessary to a benefcient
and healthy administration Of jus
tice.
Judges appointed for long tenure
of office are removed from influences
of politics, and for tina: reason an
incorrupt and independent judiciary
can better be secured by an appoin-
tive than an elective system. In
a popular government it is natural
for the people to be in favor of
electing their judges, but there may
come time when they will see the
folly of such course. Judges
should be placed on the bench purely
because of their personal qualifi-
cations and not on account of their
ability to make certain political
combinations. Without an honest
and fearless judiciary it is useless
to hope for an impartial admins
tration of justice and without the
latter our system of government is
"A failure.

The absence this year OF the panic
which followed the encouragement
of Yellow Jacks appearances last
year is an undisguised blessing for
which we should not fail to extend
our heartfelt thanks to kind Prov
idence. The erstwhile monster
has ceased to be the death-dealing,'l
relentless enemy of humanity that
he used to be. He is now hardly
deserving of more consideration
than an ordinary microbe. His
name is about the only thing which
yet causes people to get out Of his
way. Statistics show that he isn't a
bit dangerous. If he were pabtized
again and gwen Christian cogno-
men he would not be talked about
at all and would not annoy the
folks more than dengue or the
humps. He seems to have chapget
his methods of doing business, and
we believe with the Baton Rouge
Advocate that sit has become the
part of wisdom to revise our esti-
mate os this ancient bugaboo, to
catalogue him anew, to dislodge
him from his ancient seat as
prince of horrors and to set him
upon his proper pedestal as by
gienic scarecrow, the biggest and
most unconscionable fake of the
nineteenth century"

Roosevelt Is reported as having
said that a citizen possessed Of great
wealth should devote his time and
money to the good Of the State.
AS Roosevelt swore that he didn't
live in New York to escape the
payment of tax his patriotic ut
terances are not entitled to any
weight.
The Donaldsonville Chief has
been Informed by Republican cor
respondent that Mr.. Fontelieu is
very popular with the Creoles and
that he will come near carrying a
number Of parishes among which
Lafayette is included. The over
sanguine friends of the Republican
candidate might just as well olsen
gage their minds from any such an
ticipations. This talk about Fon-
telieu's supposed popularity with
were popular his nomination by the
Republicans is enough to knock
that popularity higher than the ce!e
brated kite of the late Mr.. GiIroy.
The Crecles of South Louisiana are
going to vote for Bob Broussafd,
not because he is a Creole, but be-
cause he is Democrat. If certain
newspapers will quit talking about
this or that candidates ''great pop
u.aritv with the Creoles" they will
have earned the everlasting graft
tude Of many sensible people.

SEAT0R WARREN
ARRIVED FROM THE WEST AT
NOON AND WILL SPEAK
TONIGHT.
ton Wherever He Has Appeared
thusiastic Over the Prospects For

Senator Francis f. Warren. Wyo-
ming's able representative in the up
per house Of congress, arrived from
the west at moor today and will address
the people OF Laramie at M%aennerchor
hall tonight.
The senator has been having mag
nificent meetings wherever he has APP
peared during the present campaign.
At Evanston last night he addressed
the largest audience which has as
sembled in Uinta county during the
present campaign. and a great deal of
enthusiasm was manifested during the
evening. A few nights ago at Rawlins
his audience completely filled the hall
In which he spoke.
Senator Warren is enthusiastic over
the prospects of republican success in
the battle Of next Tuesday. All the
indications point to a sweeping repub-
lican victory and the senator is so con-
fident that he is almost willing to stake
his reputation on the outcome OF the
election.
The people should turn out in force
and hear the bright side of the situa-
ton discussed. The pessimism tC
which they have been listening during
the past week is growing nauseatine
and a change will do them good.

Evidently Mr.. Blydenburgh Is con
sidered as the bright particular t
in the democratic armament, as he was
given the last chance at the people. He
made a long, tiresome talk, and many
Of his hearers got mp ana left during
the progress of hls speech. He spoke
upon a great many subjects and con-
WINGED his hearers that he was net a fit
man for the high position to which he
aspires. Lawyer-like, he lodged the
real issues of the campaign and con-
fused the people with an array Of fig
ures which no one but a %financier could
understand. He made what he called
a comparison of the Platforms of the
two state parties and said the republi-
can platform was made to deceive the
voters, while the democratic platform
was all that was sincere and good and.
holy. He said that Mark Hanna hyp-
nctized the republican party at St.Louis

Everybody who did not agree with him

posed the measures for the raising of

issued to the "Wall street sharks" He
claimed the republicans made the war
with Spain a partisan war and that all
appointments were made solely for
political purposes. He walled about
"miscondut of the war" and lied when
he intimated that Governor Richards
trip to San Francisco was made neces-
sary by the cruel treatment which the
Wyoming battalion was receiving. He
entered into a discussion Of state mat
tiers but presented nothing new He
denied that the democrats condemn the
supreme court and have no respect for
it, but he added that the court was not
above criticism. He spoke Of his own
candidacy and said his opinions IN the
supreme bench would be rendered
without regard to the political stand
ing Of litigants. Mr.. Blydenburgh may
sincerely believe that he can carry 0
this pledge, but his blind p~artisanship
SO clearly apparent to an Impartial
listener to his speech last night, leaves
a grave doubt as to his ability to give
an unprejudiced opinion on any ques.
