One of the most Objectionable
things in this entire Gage busi-
ness has been the finding Of a
letter from the Vice-President
of the National City bank ad-
dressed to the Secretary, claiming
favors on account of the peliti-
cal strength of the directorate
and on account Of 'what was
done in the campaign" +" The di-
rectors include many men prom
inent in the Standard Oil Com
pany and ether trusts. There is
of course, no proof that Mr..
Gage was biased by this letter,
but nevertheless the thing leaves
bad taste in the mouth.

To Who 1t May Concern.

Subscriptions amounting to
several hundred dollars are due
this efice. The amounts are
small and the debtors are scat
tered throughout the parish. If
we have to. call On each individ-
ual to make collections we will be
forced to travel a. much larger
number of miles than we care to.
The business men of this and
neighbering towns have told us
that they made good collections
this winter. What good reason
is there for us not being able to
say as much ? Is it because we
have been more lenient than
they? Or is it because our bills
are so small in individual cases
that they are overlooked by the
subscribers in their annual settle
ments ? The business conditions
of the country are such that we
are in measure forced to trust
to the honesty of our subscri-
bers and in many instance our
confidence in human nature has
been sorely tried. Those of our
subscribers living at q distance
from Opelousas and have not a
convenient way of sending us
money, can buy postofice orders
and deduct the cost Of the same
from the sum due us. This is a
fair proposition, and we have an
abiding hope that it will be taken
advantage of by those owing us.

The level-headed editor of the
West Baton Rouge Sugar Plan
ter makes the following sensible
observation:
When partisan pelitics reach
the state Of developement whore
each party must oppose every
measure proposed by its oppo-
nent, it would seem to be time
for a readjustment. That such
time has arrived is made plain by
the great number and variety OF
questions before legislative bodies
which are decided by a strict party
vote. Men are not SO constituted
that their several conclusions re-
garding political or other ques-
tiens, as they arise, shall honestly
coincide with their party lines.
Honest political opinions don't
seem to amount to much these
days.

Of the noble heroes who defended
the Lost Cause, and one of the
few survivors of the Generals of
the Confederate army. Aside
from the prominent part played
in the great drama of 1861-65 by
Gen. Gordon, his eleqaence as an
orator and his unblemished repu-
tation as a statesman and patriot
since the close of the war, have
endeared him to the South and
to the entire country to the ex-
tent that he is enthusiastically
greeted by crowded houses where
evar he appears-in the. North as.
well as the South, and we will in
deed be fortunate if we can Sc
cure him for his famous lecture
