HERE AND THERE.

President Mckinley is doubtless
an honest man, but he is certainly
lacking in that quality that is neces-
sary to make a statesman. That is
possess in any degree that force
which was SO predominant in
Lincoln and Jackson. He is I'M
able to act upon his own mind and
will, but is dependent upon the
advice of political friends, none of
whom, with the exception of his
former Secretary of State Day, can
be classed as statesmen. That the
executive head of great nation
should be unfit to take the lead in
all matters pertaining to the pro-
gress and development of the
government, as Mckinley has
proven himself, is unfortunate, and
most SO at time when the direction
of affairs calls for a masters hand.
The United States is now entering
into contest as grave and possibly
even .graver than the one from
which come the Union of states
and the foundation Of our republic.
And what a contrast in the states
manship of our first crisis and that
of the present one. Surely no one
can tell the future and its results.
The Miles-Egan controversy has
had an unfortunate termination for
the good Of our army and all be-
cause Mckinley was lacking inforce
Of personal character to put an end
to the situation at the beginning by
sum m arily removing his Secretary
of War, whence seems to have
originated the whole trouble.
Ayers appointment from the very
first was not calculated to give
weight to the Presidents Cabinet,
and more so from the fact of his
taking charge as head of the war
department in which department
he had been classed as de<erter,
in an humber capacity, during the
civil war. Every one knows that
this charge has been made and
with such seInblance of truth
that 1t has always hampered Ayers
political aspirations. There has
been a mismanagement of affairs in
the war department., and the whole
trouble lies with Alger.

f. TENHANDED JUSTICE.

The killing of the negro child by
white man in ST. Martin parish,
is, from all accounts, a most deplor-
able tragedy. If the killing of this
negro boy is accidental, of course
there can be no guilt attached to it.
If it is not accidental no plea can
be advanced which justifies the kill
ing. We can not conceive how the
willful killing of I2-yearold
child by man can he justifiable.
That is all there is to it.
Politically speaking the negro is
business in governmental affairs and
his Acknowledgement by the consti-
tutional convention was, as all good
people will concede, most salutary
measure. Experience proves and
every law of nature shows that the
Caucasian is UNNECESSARILY superior
to the negro race. But now that
the white men of this country are
in charge of every branch of the
government, the courts especially
should deal out even-handed justice
to all, regardless of their color
sor social standing. We are no
negro lover, nor are we sentiment
alist, but we do believe that plain
sense of human justice should be-
hoove every white citizen to exert
himself toward the condign punish
ment of the guilty no matter what
be the color or condition of the
victim.

In the opinion of impartial men
the action of this government in feed
ing its soldiers on poisoned meat is
hardly less reprehensible than the
brutal policy adopted by Spain
tostarve out the reconcentrados.
Spain did not feed it's prisoners at
all, while Uncle Sans agents killed
the gallant defenders of the flag bv
giving them Gem banned beef" to
eat Will some kind humanitarian
tell which was the greater CRIME.

The passing away of Gladstone
and Bismarck during the last year
removed from European politics
two gigantic figures that stood pre-
ernently above all the rest for over
a quarter of century. 1t is to be
regretted that the retirement of
both statesmen did not bring for
ward in either England or Germany
a man Of their character and intel
lect for if ever the world needed
the highest type of craftsmanship
it is at the present time. Civilization
is.at it's height and is carrying it's
beacon light into every country of
the globe. Ignor ance and supersti-
ton will have to give way before
the mighty ousets of civilized powers
and inventions. The work is going
to be done but how much better
and lasting and with how much
more faith on the p art of the people
with Gladstone and Bismarck at
the head.
The greatest curse of Louisiana
to-day, is her credit system, that
obtains among the farmingiclass of
every parish in the State. There
have been more farm mortgaged
and lost, and more distress caused
by the fact that farmers could buy
on credit, than on account of failure
of crops or low price of products.
The merchant who, as rule, be-
gins on a small capital, and by
advancing goods for the year to a
few farmers at such an advance
over cash price, that he increases
from year to year his business, and
in very short while he becomes
rich and independent. Of course
what is the merchants gain is the
farmers loss. There is but one
remedy to this, and that is the cash
system. 1t may go hard with some
small farmer for year or two to
adopt this system, but it will prove
in the end their salvation. There
is absolutely no reason in the world
why this whole State should not
adopt cash basis. 1t will surely
come to this, and the sooner the
better.
That speech of President McKin-
lev's at the Atlanta Jubilee about
federal care of Confederate graves
was very pretty, but the president
can show his regard for the South
in a much more practical way. He
can do this by appointing white re-
publlcans to office, instead of trying
to force upon the respectable people
of the South negro politicians

The recent Federal appointments
IN Louisiana should prove to the
satisfaction of the most ardent Lily
White that the effort to organize a
decent party in this State does not
meet with the approval Of Mark
Hanna Mark is not so much after
responsibility as IS after niger
votes in Ohio.

The statement made by Gov.
Snyder that the low prices of CT
ton will make the people of North
Louisiana more opposed than ever
to the iniquities Of high tariff may
have some political significance in
view of the support given the
Dingley bell by some South l.ouisi-
ana Democrats. 1t is not altogether
improbable that the Democracy
of the State will divide upon the
tariff issue at the next gubernatorial
election.
