In referring some time age to
the very able expressions of chief
Justice Paxton, of Pennsylvania,
regarding the duties of Prose
cutting officers, we find that our
own State Court, through Justice
Blanchard as the organ of the
Court, in very recent case re-
ported in the fifty-frst annual,
being the case of the State VS..
Furco, adopts still stronger Ian
guage and goes still further in
mapping out the lines of duty that
should be observed by all officers
who are charged with the con-
ducting Of criminal prosecutions;
These remarks apply to Grand
Juries. We quote the language
of Judge Blanchard as follows,
viz:
"In Louisiana. as elsewhere, ne humane M name
policy OF the law has ever been that lt were
hafter fen guilty. men escape than orc innocent
man should suffer. Furthermore, the RUE nD- l
tains here, that the officer prosecuting On pc
terests, wliIsh can never be promoted Dy the
conviction of the innocent A IL the lplorms-
ton possible relating to CRIME cnhrseu !"
have been committed, shnnld he disclosed.
The Stats has no interest to suppress real 1acts'
whether they sustain the prosecution or over
throw it, The State is far better served wneE au
did not commit than it is when guilty man
is brought to punishment for crimes ne az di1 !
commit This is the general ralle that shoula

It would be we'll for the fore
going expressions of the Supreme
law of the land to be carefully
pondsred over, SO as to be appre-
ciated and followed by those on
whom the responsibility falls.
The attention of the voters of
the District is respectfully di-
rected to the announcement OF
Hon. E. T. Lewis as a candidate
for Judge, to be found in the can
didate's column. Judge Lewis,
by education, training and expe-
rience, is eminently> for
the high position to which he is
aspiring. He has held many po-
sitions of honor and trust, and
has reached that age in life when
he can claim experience and wis
dom. Few public men in the
parish are better known than
Judge Lewis and he no doubt
holds one of the long poles that
will reach the persimmon.

Word on U. ID. c. Chapter.

A chapter of the U. d, G. was
recently organized in Thibodaux,
on which occasion the Sentinel
published the following timely
remarks:
Their object being first, benev-
olent, then educational and me-
merial, there is not much need of
any comment on the merit OF
these U. D. G.. organizations. But
since, as we understand, an at
tempt IS being made to form one
in our town, a few remarks on
the subject may not seem out OF
place here.
To foster in our children that
which makes true patriots of men;
to inspire them with feelings of
love and pride for their native
Southland, what better. incentive
can there be than the knowledge
of it's past great drama ? A true
and unbiased account of the Con-
federate war and all incidents
connected thereto should be
transmitted to our posterity; and
it is our duty as actors in that
great and fast receding era, to
gather all that can shed a lustrc
on the pages of its history:
It is also our sacred right to
see that our veterans suffer not
for want of actual sympathy. Of
ten has it been said that the graves
of our dead heroes should be kept
forever green, and it is sweet
and hallowed thought truly. But
it is Il more important duty still
to act so that comfort and care
snail never be denied to him who
bears the honored name of Con-
federate veteran.
Let us remember how short is
the time when the last survivors
of that almost legendary epoch
will have passed away from our
love and veneration. May it not
be then with Il feeling of remorsc
that we look back on our neglect
and forgetfulness.
We cannot, it is true, erect u
fitting monument to their fame,
| nor even suitable abode for
those who need Il home, but we
can pledge our united efforts to
testify as much as it is in our
power to our everlasting graft
tude for those :who wore the
Grev' and suffered for the Lost
Cause.

1t is announced that the u. >.
treasury will soon issue ten mil
lion dollars of fractional paper
dlrrency in denominations of
J Twenty-Five and fifty cents, and
perhaps smaller. This move is
brought about by q demand
throughout the West. The ini-
tiative came from Nebraska
where a circular addressed to con-
gressmen was mailed, asking
them to favor a bill embodying
provision for the issue of small
paper currency. The suggestion
met with favor at the treasury
department and they will act up
on it. The main object in making
the issue is to facilitate the trans
mission of small amounts of
money in letters for the benefit
of country people making mani
purchases. The department has
a great deal of trouble from the
loss of silver which is mailed and
the paper currency will be kept
on sale at all post offices, and the
Inconvenience from the sending OF
silver will be done away with.
