Starting The Ball.

The politicians and press of

the gubernatorial campaign and
are casting around for moorings.
The names of Snyder, McEnery,
Kruttschnitt, Price, Blanchard and

connection with the Office of gov
ernor, and some little diekering, it
is said, is going on concerning the
United States senatorship, both of
which will be "stock in trade" for
the next Legislature.

What Our Presidents Cost.

It costs the people of the Uni
ted States sl14,865 year for q
chielf executive. His salary is
$4,000 and found" as our Wes-
tern neighbors say. The presi-
dents findings is rather compre-
hensive, covering about every pos
sible requirement of family. His
private secretary, the clerks, door
keepers, messengers. and steward.
and three other servants, cost US
S33, 800 year. Then there is a
contingent fund of $4,000 a year
which the president may use &C.
cording to his discretion.
In furniture and repairs to the
White House the sum of $4,000
more to be used BY the direction
of the president, is provided by
the nation, and is always expen-
ded. For fuel alone $4,000 is al
lowed and for necessary repairs to
the greenhouse there is $500.
Altogether the presidential FIN
ding" annually amounts to the
snug sum of s64,S65, nearly $751;
600 year more than his salary.
The two sggegate sll5,S65. This
is an imposing aggregate, but it is
small compared with other presi-
dents. The president of the
French republic receives as salary
$40, 900 q year, $32, 48O for con-
tingent purposes, and a handsome
house, rent free. So We get our
president rather cheaply, after all.

"A few years past hog stealing
in the Catshoula section was such,
that the superstition was that all
the negroes of the whole section
lived on stolen hog meat, and the
Regulators, when they were in
their prime, drove away almost
every negro in the country, and
would not even allow pic-nicers
and fishing parties to take negro
cooks to the lake. But after the
negroes we're gone the hog steal
ing continued, until last week one
Vincent Lasseigne a white man
was arrested under the charge of
bog stealing, the hog skins having
been discovered buried in his
yard. He was released on bond
to await the investigation of the
grand jury.

There was b meeting of the
School Board Monday, their deli
berstions will be published in the
Valley of the Teche today. There
is an impression prevailing among
some of tho members of the school
board, that their doings is mono of
the peoples business. and claim
that there is no law compelling
them to publish their proceedings
or the financial condition of the
public school funds. The Messen-
ger has never given much stten.
ton to school affairs, and it does
not know much about school laws,
but pure common sense tells us
that tho school board is nothing
more than administrators sppoin-
ted to spend money that belong to
the citizens of st. Martin parish,
that they are the servants of the
people, not their masters, there
fore they are bound to give an &C.
count of the manner in which they
have administered the affairs en-
trusted to their care. The public
officers heresbout have a wrong
Interpretation of their powers and
duties. They are public servants
and not bosses of the public as
they have it in their minds. We
trust, however, that the new school
board will give more satisfaction
to the public than did the old
board, Is some of the members
are we'll disposed to know and to
let the public know something's of
the affairs of the public schools.

1t has been some years since such
| thoroughly representative American
play as The Carpetbagger" has been
written. In the role of retired Chi
cago auctioneer who is sent south as
governor OF Mississippi Immediately
after the close of the civil war, Tim
Murphy has a decidedly congenial
role, one which, as the well known
comedian expresses it, ''could not lit
me better if / had been melted and
run into the mould" 1t is by all odds
one of the strongest comedies of the
present season, and when it is pre-
scented ut the Burtis Friday evening.
| the theatre goers of this city will be
favored with a production of Il high
degree of excellence. Mr.. Murphy
has surrounded himself with care
fully chosen organization, including
Miss Dorothy Sherrod, that sprightly
and charming actress Special seen
cry adds to the completeness of the
presentation. The appearance of Tim
Murphy in The Carpetbagger" here
will be an event OF more than ordinary
interest.

lished them selves in the cordial favor

happy contrast, and creating perfect
flood of fast aud furious fun. His
Better Half gives opportunities for
other artists as well, all of whom
strive with cheerfulness 10 provide
such an enjoyable entertainment as
will not so readily be forgotten.
A good production which commands
pul lie attention and confidence must
be a guarantee that il will be worth
hearing. Such conditions are to be
welcomed, for they mean desire that
the public want the best and will have
it regardless of expense-such condi-
tions safely obtain with the newer
