In the Senate on Monday a motion was
entered formally by Mr.. Quay TO dis
charge the committee on territories from
further consideration of what is known
as the omnibus territorial bill-a measure
to admit as States the territories of Okla
homa, New Mexico and Arizona. Mr.
Quay spoke briefly in support of his mo-
ton, maintaining that both political par
ties in national convention had cledged
themselves to the admission to sta ehood
of the territories. Mr.. Beyeridge. chair
man OF the committee. said the measure
had been put over until next session by
the committee because it was not 5eliev-
ed there would he time now TO consider
it properly. No action was taken on the
motion. During the greater part of the
session the unfinished business, the bill
ratifying a convention with the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians. was under dis
cussion. 1t was not disposed of. A bill
was passed for the classification of sal
aries of clerks employed in postotiices
for the first and second classes. In the
House day and night sessions were again
held for discussion of the Philippine BILL
which occupied practically the eatire
time A resolution was adopted calling
upon the Secretary of War for informa-
ton as to any payments made by Gov.
Gen. Wood to +. B. Thurber and any
other persons or corporations. together
with the dates and amounts of such pay
ments. for advocating reciprocity with

A question t'causing much dis.
cusslon" at Washington is whether
Special Ambassador Whitelaw Reid,
the civic representative of this aus
tere Democracy at the coronation
of King Edward of England, shall
or shall not wear knee bl eeches,
says the New York Journal. 1t is
fitting that the large minds respon.
slble for the sending Of the embassy
should concern themselves with this
vital matter. 1t is also natural that
the bead of cold perspiration should
glisten on their majestic foreheads.
The agony of uncertainty is far
harder to bear than any decision
can be. In our judgment, however,
there is no just ground for this
painful anxiety at the republics
capital. Edward VII is gracious
monarch, and if properly ap-
preached there is every reason to
believe that he will consent to the
appearance of Mr.. Reid at the
coronation without his trousers

1t is reported from Washington
that the Democratic minority of the
Senate committee on the Philippines
has agreed upon a policy which has
the support of every Democratic
senator save Mr.. McEnery of Louis
lana. 1t is now in order for the
venerable senator to tell US that
once again the Democrats are all
wrong and that he is the only peb-
bic on the Democratic beach.

Arecent bill passed by Congress,
carried with Il an appropriation Of
SEQ. 900 to entertain Prince Henry,
Of Germany. Who will soon v,si,
this country. This appropriation,
coupled with the announcement,
that the president has appointed
Wh'telaw Reid. Capt. CLARK, Gen.
Wilson's young Pierpoot Morgan
and young Wetmore to go to Lon
don for King Edwards coronation,
shows the trend of things at Wash
ington. 1t would be interesting to
know why the taxpayers should be
made to fork over $40. 900 for the
amusement Of Prince Henry. The
prince is not a pauper and he
should be allowed to pay his hotel
bills just as plain American citizens
do when they visit Germany. If
society in the East cares to enter
tain the prince it should be made to
do like Jones-ray the freight. But
it is damnable outrage to squander
$40, 900 of the peoples money to
pay obsequlous homage to a man
because he happens to be brother
of the Emperor of Germany. OF
course Congress will be called
upon to spend several hundred
thousand dollars of the hard earned
money of the toiling ,nasses to send
Pierpont Morgan's son and the
other ENJOYS who have been dele
gated by the president to represent
Uncle Sam at the crowning of King
Edward. This country's accredited
in England are fully
able to attend to this coronation
without the assistance of a
lot of miIlionaires and millionaires'
sons. After all what interes, can the
mill ons of plain Americans nave
in this medieval ceremonial? How
N any among them would willingly

expenses IF the ENJOYS, who, we are
old, are seriously considering the
of wearing knee breeches

Police Jurors Arraiened

Police Jurors Arraiened.
St. Martin Messenger.
The true bills returned last week
by the Grand Jury against five mem
bers of the Police Jury, for having
paid themselves to perform certain
functions of supervising the work
done on our public roads, have
been the topic of conversation this
week.
The Police Jurors who violated
the law for their own account were
arraigned Monday and their case
will be tried next week.
1t appears that the law upon this
matter is perfectly clear, and there
is no way for the indicted police
jurors TO get out Of it, and
tLeir trial IS bound to result
in conviction, but as the offense
is not grave and serious, they
will probably get out with a fine Of
about fifty dollars and possibly a
but the feature that ap-
pears to be more interesting to the
public, is that a conviction will re-
move them from Office, and if this
be the result of the trial, Mr.. Carl
Larson of the second ward will be
the only one of the six police jurors
who will remain in office.
The governor will then have to
use his appointive power and fill the
forced vacancies.
We trust, that if this is to hap
pen, that the local political powers
will make it their duty to infuse a
little more brain and business ability
in the new Police Jury, by selecting
men who have the required qualfi
cation and the business ability to
and economically admin
lster the affairs of the parish in a
anner. without run
ming the risk of placing themselves
in trap of their own, and have
themselves erhauled bv the Grand
Jury for violations of the law.
We must admit that there was no
intention of doing wrong on the
part of the police jurors, as the
charges made by them for their SER
'ices are very reasonable, and
show no intention of abuse.

We think that our esteemed
brother of the Baton Rouge Truth
is unnecessarily alarmed. He tears
that the enforcement of high liquor
license will cause blind tigers to
thrive in the capital city and that
the high-balls and Manhattan cock
tails which have made Baton Rouge
famous will be supplanted by the
vilest of connections. We have
been having high license in Lafa-
yette for some time and we are in a
position to reassure the good peo-
pie of Baton Rouge on this score.
Here we have an iron-clad high Ii
cense law but the s,ghtless beast has
never shown his hideous form in
these parts nor have our citizens
been driven to the necessity of
quenching their thirs: with Dr..
Peppers, Hostetter bitters and
''brandy Cherries" and we are sure
there is no reason to fear anything
of the sort in Baton Rouge. And
has the Truth thought of what would
happen if Baton Rouge placed any
to the free and un-
hampered flow of the spirits? The
capitol would be removed to more
surroundings or the
weekly migration of the makers
during the session of the Legislature
would be daily occurrence.

 The London people who want to see the procession comfortably are, it is said, unwilling to pay the fancy figures demanded. And besides, they believe that there will be such slump in prices when the overloaded spectators seek to save themselves as will enable them to view the gorgeous pageant at a cost which will seem trifling in com- parison with the outlay which would now be required if the most indifferent accommodations were bargained for. Very likely this will happen, unless rich Americans and other foreigners keep the window market up.

STILL PURS UING.

The poet said "Still achieving, still pursuing" The Constitutional Conven- ton is still pursuing. There is now talk that it can adjourn for good, or bad, by the middle of April. So we can hope until the middle of April comes, and then another date for adjournment can be set. The middle of April is not far off, and there are several interest," Ing and important questions to be
 'settled' by the Convention. Among them are the questions of special legis- lation, the Governors veto, the pay of legislators and the eligibility of ap- pointment of members of the legisla- ture to civil offices. If the members of the Convention are not tired of talking there will be opportunity for much more talk on these important matters, and perhaps something else will come up. We have thought the Convention ought to adjourn without further de- bate, but perhaps if it continues and continues and continues there will be no need of or desire for another Con- vention soon
