Tempest i'm a Teapot.

Apparently no two things could
he more dissimilar than politics and
banking. Yet the recent elections OF
a parish treasurer by the police Jur1es
fhrouohout the State show that there
Is an intimate connection, and the con-
tending clans have raised merry hell
in more than one instance. The con-
test in Iberia was hot and furious but
the banker retired defeated and dis
comforted, while the dear people got
it in the neck-as the politicians over
there believe in looking out for their
friends. Mr.. Suberbielle cashier OF
the State Bank offered to act as par
ish treasurer for nothing and pay a
bonus Of $2Co a year for the deposits
in his bank. This was declined and
Mr.. Romero was elected at a sa-ary
Of $3.50 and commissions.
Rushing into print Suberbielle
~|1oasts Bob Broussard whom he dubs
,athe great political king Of this neck
Of the woods" after this fashion:
sin conclusion, l wish to impress
your readers with the fact that
through the Vaccinations OF Mr.. r,
F. Broussard, the tax payers, the
dear people whose suffrage ne viii
soon again have occasion to solicit, IS
due and solely to him-the loss OF
SIS, 0O0-as he could have prevented
what was done by the police jury
Mark this well, it should not be for
gotten. Ills watchword in the recent
contest for the t~rcasurership vast
Party prestige before any other con-
sideration.
"Having stood in the way OF your
best interests here, can you depend
upon his guarding your welfare in
Congress? Will he not sacrifice If
needs be, the interests of his consti-
~tuents for political and party aggggran-
diZement?',
Broussard comes back in a long
winded, cutely sophistieal and very
lame defense of the spois system and
OF the action of the police jury in de-
clining to save some money for the
people but he filings this Parthian ar
row-hoW we'll it hits home We can't
say
eli you are a politician, / could be
induced to believe that you would re-
sort to ssmachinations." / would
then say, as rumors have it, that you
knew something, shortly in advance
of the election the other night, as te
who were to be elected on the Board
of Directors of the New Iberia Cotton
Mill. But, you are not a politician.
and can not be guilty Of tsmachina-
tions."
cit was a coincidence that you were
ele ;ted the president Of that board
and it was an oversight that the board
was allowed to fix the salary of its
officers. You are not. politician, aad
can not be guilty of Vaccinations.
"Perhaps the collection of the money
subscribed will begin before the by
laws are made public, and the officers
salaries fixed. But you will have
nothing to do with it, for you are no
a politician, and can not be guilty Of
tsmachlnations.'

The trolley cars in New Orleans
continue TO run down helpless chill
dren and old buns and grind them
into mince meat, all because of a lack
of finders of proper design. The wild
and woody legislators at Baton Rouge
who want a separate street car for the
niggers to ride in would do well TO dc
vote their attention to something more
useful-say tie protection of the peo-
pie by compelling the street railroads
to have tenders, on all cars. The ex-
perience of Chicago in this matter OF
tenders on street cars is a valuable
lesson for New Orleans and her citi-
ems should be quick to profit by il
and obtain proper protection.

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

Political interest centers just now in the
contest for supremacy between two New

them has been going on In desultory
SORT of way for some years, that is,
each has been hitting the other when
favorable opportunity offered Not until
now, however, have they stepped into the
ring and threaten to fight one another to
a finish. Hill is the boss OF the State
Democracy, while Croker dominates the
city crowd, SO that the contest is one be-
tween the country and city Democracy as
well as between Hill and Croker. Matters
have come to a head through the an
nounced purpose Of Controller Coler,
purpose on outraged and perhaps in
some degree inspired by HILL to seek the
Democratic nomination for governor.

The New York Sun now makes public
the fact that it was Mr.. Coils P. Hunt
ington who offered the prizes of $500 in
what was widely known at the time as
the MAN Without the Hoe, Z" competition.
Edwin Markham's verses on the ''Man
With the Hoe' provoked in MIR. Hunt
ingtons mind a desire to see the true
dign ity of manual labor asserted with
poeticaI strength and grace of expression
and in the hope of bringing out some
thing worthy OF the subject he offered
these prizes. In making his offer he
wrote to the Sun as follows:
What about the man without the hoe?
he who cannot get work, or, having the
opportunity to labor, won t do it? There
are thousands of young men in this
country who have been educated up to
the point where the honest and health
full occupation of their fathers in the field
has become distasteful to them, and in
many cases have grown to be ashamed
OF 1t and OF their parents. In European
countries particularly, there are multi
tudes of young men, the younger sons of
Titled people, for instance, who have been
taught that common labor or work in
the trades is beneath them. They must
have money, but they must earn it only
in "genteel" way. These are the men
without the hoe-the real brothers Of the
OK. Who shall tell their story? Who shall
best sing the bitter songs Of the incapa-
bles who walk the earth, driven hither
and thither like beasts by the implacable
sentiment OF a false social education,
suffering the fortunes of the damned and
bringing distress upon those dependent
on them because they have lost that
true independence OF soul that comes to
him who dares to labor with his hands,
who Yields the hos and is the master of
his destiny?
"We know" says the Sun, "of no bet
ter tribute to the memory of a remarkable
man than to reprint these manly words,
ringing with the American spirit-the
spirit which has made our country what
is it. - S= ss @
