against the Legislature by the

actuated by selfish motives, but
here is an indictment, made in
language which can not be mis-
understood and in tone singu
larly free from passion, that GER

guilty of using ungrammatical
English.
1t were useless to say that it
is only Il high sense of duty
which has impelled the I'D. to

weekly.
But has our friend ever
thought that the publishing of
such a newspaper would entail
the expenditure of IL great deal
more money than is usually
possessed by the man who runs
a country newspaper. And even
if the unhappy man owned more
money than he knew what to do
with, would it be reasonable to
expect him to spend it in so
unremunerative venture? If
the day of miracles had not gone
the way of all obsolete things,
and our friend had ever betrayed
any symptoms of philanthropy,
we would invite him to make the
experiment here. We know of
no field of human endeavOr so
fraught with glorious opportuni-
ties and one which holds out
more alluringly to the victim
the immortal crown of the mar
tyr.
Such a paper, as was conceived
in the mind of our friend, we
fear was not intended for Lafa-
yette. At least. not for a while
yet.
No one is more keenly CON
sciOus of it's own weakness than
the country newspaper. 1t
knows, or it ought to know, that
it is filling but a small space in
the worlds economy, but like all
things human it experiences
some degree of joy from the
knowledge that it about measures
up othe local standard. ltsOothes
its wounded pride with the balm
of comparative estimate. 10
be more explicit: the One-hOrse
newspaper, printed in Il one
horse town, does not rejoice over
the imDerfectiOnS of the one
horse store. the One-hOrSe fac
tory, the One-horSe drugstore, the
ne-hOrSe lawyer or doctor, but
an inherent craving for company
causes it to enumerate all these
One-hOrSe things as Il sort Of
apology for its own ShOrtcOm-
ingS.
Whatever may be said to the
contrary, paper can always be
depended upon to be as good as
the town in which it is published.
Sometimes it is better, but
never worse.

paper commensurate with its

good friend thinks that Lafayette

paper-a newspaper that will
print all the news and exercise
wholesome, irresistible in
huence by reason of it's virile,
forceful editorials. To all of
which The Gazette cheerfully
subscribes. It is conceded that
a frst-class newspaper pub
lished in this community-con
tanning all the news and filed
with learned disquisitions on

would be splendid thing
It would not fail to be a great

would be felt far beyond the

mark out the sphere of useful

The Picayune tells US that it
did not make any threats to
turn the State over to the Re
blicans. The Picayune may
not have threatened to transfer
Louisiana bodily to the e. o. p,
but it pretty clearly intimated
that if the Democratic party did
not mend its ways the people of
the State would very likely show
their Misrepresentation of its acts
by placing the Republicans in
power. We do not remember
the words used by the Picayune,
but we believe we have given the
substance Of its editorial We
are 10th to think that the Plea
yune would itself Join the Re
publican party. We prefer to
believe that after its long and
hOnOrabl career as a leading eX
pOnent of Democracy and good
government in the South, it
could not be guilty Of joining
forces with the South's greatest
enemy, which it has fought
valiantly and ably in and out of
season.
In it's disappointment over the
passage of the Merger bill the
Picayune should not be too quick

State. If it has a grievance. it
should be made against the New
Orleans delegation and against
the people of that city for failing
to have themselves properly re-
presented.
We are inclined to think that
the people of New Orleans ought
to be allowed to attend to their
own affairs without the interfer-
ence of the Legislature. We be
lieve in according to every com
munity the largest measure
of hOme-rule, consistent with
Democratic government.
DuC Ill view u uIl( lttCU lllotU lIlc
Merger bill was supported by
nearly all the members of the
New Orleans delegation, we fail
to see wherein the country mem
berS have Sinned so grievOuSly
in voting for that measure. Was
is not natural for the country
members to seek information
and even advice from the New
Orleans delegation relative to a
matter which concerned that
city alone? We submit that
there is nothing so wicked in
this as to justify the bitter at
lacks on the Legislature made
by the city press or to give rise
to the Picayune's fear that the
people of the State will break
their neckS in a mad rush to
jump into the Repub lican band
wagon.
The Picayune says that the
New Orleans delegation in the
Legislature does not represent
that city. If such is the case, it
is nfOrtunate: but that is dis
tinctly the Crescent City's
funeral and the General AS
Sembly of Louisiana should not
be held respOnsib BILE for it,
The Picayune explains the
election of unworthy representa-
tives by saying that some of the
good people of that boss ridden
city don't vote. If the good
people don't vote, and the bad
people vote the wrong way, the
old town is really in an awful
fix.

copy OF the PROGRESS, news
paper published in New York
City in the interest of woman 5
rights. The Progress contains
many intelligently written arti
cles intended to show that
women should vote and enjoy all
other political privileges &C
corded to the lords of creation.
Much space is devoted to the
utterly useless task of demon
Strating that women are as well
qualified as the men to partici-
pate in the affairs of govern
ment. If it were only a question
of mental Qualifica ton and moral
worth the contention of the fair
advocates of wOman's suffrage
would be cheerfully acceded to
by even the most stubborn of
men. Whenever the sweet
daughters of Eve have taken a
hand in politics their cO-opera-
blessing. Thanks to the supe-
riOr wisdom of Louisiana states
manShip the women of this
State have been clothed with
the franchise to be exercised
upon all questions submitted to
the taxpayers. 1t is in large
measure due to their beneficent
influence that many commune
1oy-ioI
special taxes for schools and for
needed public improvements
They have always been found on
the side of progress and good
government. 1t is only the su-
preme egotiSm of the. alleged
superior man which sometimes
causes him to regard the inter-
ference of woman in public af
fairs as piece of officiOus inter-
meddling.
The fitness Of woman to wisely
exercise the franchise is con-
coded. We're it only her fitness
to be considered no one would
be so unreasonable as to. place
the least impeachment between
her and the ballot.
But while it is acknowledged
that woman would exercise a
wholesome influence in politics
does any one believe that she
would be benefited: Admitting
that her entrance into the pOliti-
cal arena would have the effect
of purifying the ballot, is it to
be doubted that society would
lose more than it would gain?
Thoughtful men and women will
try to answer these questions
before they decide to espouse

The people of Marksville,
parish, have decided
to tax themselves at the rate of
ten mills on the dollar for a term
of ten years for educational pur-
poses. The Blade and Enter
prise, which no doubt cOntri-
buted largely to the great vic
tory, give the results of the cleo
ton showing that the progress

majority at Marksville. With a
special tax of ten mills Marks
vile will doubtless have one of
the best schools in the State.

estheticism on this side of the

what would have happened to

The Legislature which re-

has been accused of doing more

leave participial clauses standing alone, like
a smallpox patient at a country fair? No:
the feat is beyond human power.

F.. =. Williams, chairman of

Lily Whites, is quoted by the
Times as saying: Il
think we will not land more
than six of the seven candidates
for Congress- Mr.. Williams
should be congratulated upon
having shown such a delicate
sense of modesty in making his
claims. He might have claimed
the whole thing. But then it
must be remembered that Mr..
Williams is not a politician. He
is what may be called non
political politician. With little
more practice he will learn how
to claim an election.
