A Chance for Promotion.

According to dispatches appear
ing in the New Orleans papers of
the 10th inst, the First Battalion
OF Infantry, L. s. N. G., will be
formed into regiment at an early
day. This is made necessary by
reason Of the organization of new
companies recently mustered into
the service OF the State, and the
battalion having outgrown itself,
the formation of Il regiment be-
comes imperative.
1t is more than probable that
Major Frank 2. Stubbs, Jr., the
present commander Of the First
Battalion, will be made Colonel
of the new regiment, and Captain
l.. L. kilbourne, of the West
Feliciana Rifles, its Lieutenant
Colonel; no names have been sug-
gested as yet for the Majors of
the new regiment. In selecting
these latter officers, we presume
that they will he chosen with re-
gard to their seniority in service,
and it such is the case, Captain
Alfred D. Stewart, of our local
company, stands in the direct line
of promotion Company B, Of
which Captain Stewart is. COM
mander, is, we believe, the second
Oldest company in the battalion,
and its commanding officer should
therefore be made one of the Mai
ors of the new regiment. His
many years of experience as Cap
tain of a company in the Kentucky
State Guard, and his subsequent
two years experience as First
Lieutenant in the volunteer army
of the United States, in the Span
ish-American war, pre-eminently
qualify him for the position. His
record as Captain of Company B,
and the high degree of proficiency
to which he has brought his men,
are glowing testimonials of his
ability and worth as a comman-
der. The splendid showing made
by our company (then only three
months old) during the recent
strike in New Orleans, when it
was pronounced the "crack COM
pany Of the State," is directly at
tributable to Captain Stewards
proficiency as Il drill master and
instructor.
We sincerely trust that the Gov
ernor will give due recognition to
Captain Stew art in appointing the
Majors of the new regiment, and
in so doing we are certain more
competent and efficient officer
could not be found in the State
Guard.
Should Capt. Stewart be chosen
one of the officers of the new reg
iment, the command of Company
B will fall to First Lieutenant w.
B. Prescott, whose recent cleo
tion to that Office has given such
universal satisfaction to the men
of the company, and to the pub
lie generally, BECAUSE of his fitness
for the position by reason of his
military training and experience.
We have no doubt but that the
company would maintain it's high
standard under the command of
Lieut.. Prescott.

PROFITS $1,000 900.
Fiscal Year of the United States Gov
eminent Ended Yesterday With
GooI SurpI,,c g',-sss

Washington, D. c., July 2.-The fiscal
year ended yesterday with a surplus, Of
S152, 600 900 in the treasury, for the
years operations. The surplus is made
up of $31 GOO, GOO in customs receipts and
the balance in internal revenue and
miscellaneous receipts.
In spite of the billion and a half Of
appropriations by the last congress, the
country is in excellent shape financial
ly The treasury has a total surplus
of $3.50, 464, 900, not counting the $780,
100000 reserve fund. OF the available
cash :balonce $163,00o,000 is in. national
banks, which will not be drawn upon
OF course, unless emergency demands.
There Is, therefore, about SIS, 100000 in
actual cash on hand tn the subtreas-
uries, ready to meet the cost of the
Panama canal OF ANY other item.
For the present, it. is Secretary
Shaw'6 plan to increase. this surplus in
esubtreasuries with the current accunau-
lations, rather than to deposit them in
national banks. t. later in the year
there is a big demand for more money
throughout the country, more will be
deposited in national banks:
: The only big item to be cared for in
the near future, aside from the $780,
10000 for the Panama canal, is $19,-
600, 900 for the bonds Of 1904, which
mature next February. These will be
paid off and not refunded.

SCANDAL AT THE FAIR.
Congress May Investigate the Manage

chase Exposition,

Washington. July At is quite possible
that there may be an investigation or
dered into the present conditions Of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. r. II
The st. Louis people are now asking for
the 100000 claimed by them, and insist
that it should be paid over soon.
The managers of the exposition say that
about 100000 has already been expended
by the private corpora ton that is pTon1ot-
ing the exposition.
This is questioned to some extent. There
are some queer stories heard about the
manner in which. the exposition is being
managed. 54
