mr. Gilmore was ono 81 the few
men Of this State who made a fnan-
cial success Of journalism. Years
ago he started the Sugar Bowl, and
by perseverance and enterprise grad
ually made his paper a profitable en-
terprise. Several years ago the
papers name was changed 10 The
Sugar Planters journal" It has a
circulation in the sugar dis
triet, and is received in nearly every
sugar planters home.
Mr.. Gilmore was held in the high
est regard by the newspaper men Of
Louisiana, who will miss his familiar
face and figure at their conventions,
and his valuable suggestions concern
ing journalistic work that bis long
experience qualified him to give.
THE COURIER joins with the other
of the State in expressing the
deepest sympathy for Mr.. Gilmore's
in their sorrow.

EXTIRPATIQN OF
IGNORANCE.

i commend it to your special at
tention and liberal support in The
conviction that no appropriations Of
public money are wiser or juster thar
those which tend to the e-xtirpation
Of ignorance and vice and the diffusion
Of knowledge and virtue among the
people, Gov. Foster.
All Of US must acknowledge the
~soundness Of the Governors advice.
To root out vice is a mission that has
come down to man from Father
Adam, and, it is only through educa-
ton, that the desired end can be ao-
c~omplished.
You can not teach a human thing
whose latent powers Of thought lay
dormant in an uncultivated mind, the
baaeful consequences of Twice. You
first have to arouse the thought; the
unthinking human thing has to be-
come a reasoning human being, be-
fore right can be made to appeal to

There is SO much bad in some peo-
pie that nothing will eradicate it; but

undeveloped mental faculties, and in

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.


The General Assembly met last
Monday and organized, Hon. ]. Y.
Sanders, of Sc. Mary, was made Speak
er Of the House and Hon. Hugh Cage,
Of New Orleans, President pro tenn of
the Senate. The first week of the
legislature was mostly consumed in
organizing and in getting down" to
business.
For the first time in the history Of
this State, both branches of the Cen
eral Assembly are solidly Democratic.
There is not "a representative Of an.
opposing party in either house. All
of the responsibility rests with the
Democrats, but it is more than likely
that they win prove equal to the I'M
usual situation, and will enact only
wise and beneficial laws.
Thus far the session Of the legisla-
ture has been remarkably harmonious
but grave and important meas
uFes viii be considered by the law
makers, and The COURIER predicts
that sthere will be enough life and
spiritin the session when the members
get down to business.

NEW YORK, June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt was perhaps angrier yester-
day than ever before in his life. Camera
ferds and country sigh;seers invaded
his place at Sycamore Hill and

He did not mind the reople comm e

But whenever he popped his head out
of a window or came around a corner,
"Click,' went the shutter of light
ming camera.
There we're hundreds OF them. Not
content with this, the camera fiends
got their focus on Mrs. Roosevelt. A
small army of amateur and profession al
photographers pursued them to the
bsy and snapped their instruments al
them.
When they returned to Sycamore
Hill they were still followed by photo
graphers aud were asked to "look
pleasant" while they played on the
lawns. AS the day progressed Governor
Roosevelt become more shd more
angry.

garity. If they try it again 1 will sur

KANSAS CITY, June 2s.-Friends Of
Bryan are opposed to the proposed
plan to have Bryan nominated for

demonstration, and adopt the platform
on which he is to stand sfterward.
Bryan has said that the platform
must stsnd for free coinage of silver at
q rate of 16 to 1, and many of his
friends agree with him. There are
many others, however, who don't, and
it is feared by those close to Bryan that
II be is nominated before the platform
is adopted an effort will be made to
form a platform which would stultify
the candidate for president.
Ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, has
given out an interview in which be
