ABOUT Politicians.

oaton Rouge Advocate.
Discussing the question of tn
Watkins succession on the suprem,
bench the Morehouse Clarion saws
There are SO many politicians on the bench
that 1t would not be surprising that vhen :
lawyer gets up before the court and makes g
motion, that some of the Judges asked II
there IS any second to 1t.
If we mistake not it hasn't been a
great while since the distinguished
father of the editor Of the Clarion
was member of the cour. which
the son so scathingly and SO unjust
ly arraigns. The Advocate hazards
nothing when 1t says that the court
as at present constituted is in its
entire personnel fully the peer of
court as constituted when Judge
Todd was one of its members. 1t
was an able, learned and patriotic
body then and it has suffered no
dlm'nution in respect of these quail
1hcation since. 1t was composed
largely of politicians then, it is SO
still and it will continue so as long
as'the court is composed of men in
stead of angels. Nor is there any
reason why this should not be so
and we make the broad assertion
that there is not man in Louisi-
ana today who is fit to be member
of the bench who is not a politi-
clan. Marshall was politician.
Kent was a politician. Story was
politician, and the same is true
OF every man who has ever added
real lustre to the bench either of the
nation or Of the State of Louisiana

Colonel Sheridan Refuses to Com

Of the Order.
One Wisconsin Regiment Ordered
Direct to Tampa---MinnesO-
tans Get Orders.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 1I.--At
Chickmauga Park officers and men of
che regular army regiments rushed as
they have, not been called upon to do
since the days Of the civil war. The
orders for the entire army to pack up
and go to the front at once were an.
| nounced at 8 O'Clock and since then
things have been moving at tremen.
d0us pace. The railroad men have
been running all available cars to the
park and as rapidly as they arrive they
are loaded with camp equipments and
horses, supplies, etc. The work of
moving the big command during the
next few days as they are expected to
do 10 an immense job for the railroads.
They had received no intimation of
the sudden orders and had made no
adequate preparations. The two lines
to Tampa, the Southern and Western
Atlantic, are doing everything possible,
bat the indications are now that the
Arst troops will not get out before
morning. The first out will probably
be the infantry division, composed of
the Second, Seventh, Eighth. Sixteenth
and Twelfth regiments. Five hundred
passenger coaches to carry the men to
Tampa will be available by night.
Colonel Sheridan, of General Brooke's
staff, speaking for the general, at noon
said:
1.-THE order does not say rush to the
front; it simply instructs US to get
there as soon as we conveniently can.
OF course we will move as rapidly as
possible, but 1t will probably be several
days before all are out. There are 5000
men, with hundreds of horses and a
large amount of equipment in the park,
and the whole business cannot be
moved within few hours"
Colonel Sheridan refused to give an
opinion about what the order meant.
The majority Of the officers, however,
do not hesitate in saying that it means
they will land in Cuba as soon as they
can get there Besides the infantry
division, the Third and Sixth cavalry
will go to Mobile, and the First and
Tenth cavalry to New Orleans All
the artillery was sent out several
days ago.
