Ou esteemed contemporary, the
Truth says there will be no gun
boats loaded with Winchesters
when Mr.. Heard takes his seat as
Governor this year. We hope our
esteemed confrere does not propose
to deny to Mr.. Taylor Cade tho
harmless pleasure it affords him to
load up his man-of war with Win
chesters and "red eye" and issue a
few NapQIeonic fulminations about
"clean government" and such other
interesting topics. The 'AdmiraP'
will doubtless need q little recrea-
zion from his arduous labOrs as a
resident of Texas and an Office hold
or in Iberia, and if he elects to
spend his vacation coming up to
Baton Rouge next May with a va
,lied assortment of arms and good
cheer, why let him do SO. lie can
do no harm and another ''naval
expedition against Baton Rouge"
wiIl again add to the gayety of ma,
lions, as was the case in 1SO6.-B.
