of the Baltimore Methodist an article
entitled The Funeral of a Hero"
written by Rev. George V. Leech, d.
ID. 1t is report finely descriptive of
the EXECUTES of Gen. Henry w. Lawton
IN Washington over a month ago.
The doctor, a master penman of the
English tongue, is at his best when
depicting the heroic, the scenic, the
pathetic. The death on the firing line,
the funeral journey of 1000 miles and
the touching pageantry of honors to
heroic dust in Washington, is story
which gave him wide scope for the
play of his great powers.
The JOURNAL is glad to own him as
one who, always friend Of yo 18th,
first whispered of the real glory which
at last crowns the requirement of a
dictiOn ornately precise.

men expressed themselves as intend
ing to reach a settlement of wage diff
ferences, should any arise, without
allowing the miners contentious to
degenerate into strike.
Latest-At the time of going to press
news from Altoona went to show that
this region is included in territory that
will demand 60 cents per ton instead
of 80, us fixed by the companies.
As the Meyersdale operators have
declined to yield a rate that will equal
ize that region with this, it is far to
presume that the company figure will
remain 80 here
lnsistence upon that figure on one
side and GO on the other, therefore,
means suspension for a time indefinite
as the period of lnsistence.

tube gets intiamed, you have a rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result and I'M

A Fair Prospect for q Good BOYS
School.

1t will be good news to the people
OF this town and vicinage that We are
on the way of having good private
school for boys, ample to accommo
date all who offer to enter.
Rev. Father Dubourg, appreciatlns
the urgent need of such school, has
perfected arrangements with Prof. L.
NJ. Hargis by which that efficient and
successful educator will re open
school in the old Thibodaux College
and secure the necessary assistant
teachers to run a first class school for
boys. Father Dubourg will have the
premises put in order, and Prof. Har
gis will take up his abode in the
school in order to have a better su.
pervision and control over the pupils.
Thus the prospect Of Thibodaux
having again a good private school
for boys, as it has had in the past, is
excellent, and we are sure that this
announcement will be received with
joy by parents with sons to educate.

The Base Ball Game in Crowley.

The Websters of Lafourche played
a game of ball IN Crowley last Sun
day with Crowley team and lost BY
a score of 10 to s. The game was
witnessed by nearly 1900 people and
was interesting through out.
Writing of the game the Crowley
Mirror says:
"The features of the game were
Roche's home run hit away out over
the left field fence iu the eighth
inning and Trotter's hit to right in
the fourth inning that hypnotised
the man in that garden and let in
four runs.

The Governors Appointments.

Gov. Heard has sent IN to the Sen.
ate appointments to various offices
in New Orleans, which have provoked
both the Times. Democrat and the
Picayune into bitter denunelations OF
his Excellency.
Among the appointments were
those OF Capt. John Fitzpatrick as
tax collector of the first district, Mr..
Robert Ewing to collectorship, and
Mr.: Michael Tanning as coal gauger,
and it is these appointments which
seem to have stirred the bile of our
esteemed contemporaries of the Cres
cent City to that extent that they
have been regaling their readers with
TRADES against bossism and the spoiIs
system in politics.
The SENTINEL does not propose to
pose as the apologist Of any one, but
it will cay IN justice to the Governor
and to his appointees, that common
fairness requires that whoever will
condemn the executive for the exer.
else of the appointive powers vested
in him should advance better reasons
for his cOndemnatiop than the hyster-
ical cry of politician, boss, ward heel
er, ct III omne genus. Those whom
some people and some journals are
pleased to denominate by such epi
thets may yet be honorable men, hon
est and competent, and in every way
qualified to fill public office. to which
every American citizen has a right to
aspire.
AS matter Of fact, the three men
named above are known as honorable
and honest men, competent to fill the
offices to which they have been ap.
pointed, and the consideration that
they may be politicians, bosses, ETC.,
that is. men who have made an active
fight for their party, should have no
weight whatever in judging Of the
merit or demerit of their appoint.

for Vice President. The head of the
ticket had been fully settled by the
instruction of more than the necessary
two-thlrds of the delegates for Col.

the platform were practically settled
in advance by those same instructions
as there had not at any time any doubt
of the position Of Col. Bryan, whose
consistency ls one of his strongest

nectcd with the administration, who
made no pretense to concea! his disap-
pointment at the failure of the attempt
to modify the silver plank, said:
That convention was wiser than l
thought 1t would be. The plutform
will lose votes for the ticket IN States
