The Situation.

The State campaign is coming
on apace. The people, as Il rule,
are quiet, but thoughtful, and are,
apparently, going to take more in
terest in the pending election than
usual. The politicians, sly, tricky
and scheming, are on the alert
everywhere, and are quietly lay
ing plans to secure their own safe
landing. It is simply a question
of personal interest with them.
No matter what plans may be az
ranged, what schemes worked or
what combinations made so long
as each fellow is slated for what
he desires-that is all he cares for
or wishes.
There will, of course, be q lot
of fireworks and pyroteehnics; an
overplus of talk about party feal-
ty, party principles and party well
fare, but underlying it all will be
found the all-absorbing feeling of
self-interest. OF course this will
not appear on the surface. That
would never do. A mask of party
fealty and loyalty to party princi-
pies will be donned. The enthu-
| siasts must be placated and kept
in line. The party shouting and
hurrahing must be done and these
people are required for that SER
vice. Therefore the accustomed
amount of this sort of CUFF will
be supplied. The earnest, Jealous
men who have always done this
will be allotted the task, and, as
usual, they will perform it in a
satisfactory way.
| Every man in every parish who
is now in Office and every state of
ticial, except the Governor, whom
the Constitution bars, will be q
candidate for reelection. They
have found their jobs good things
and will want to retain them
There will be many new aspirants
but they will have little or NJ
show unless all this talk abou
, "the people" taking hold of mat
ters should prove reality insteao
, of dream, as heretofore. Their
, must be something in the air
i since it is entirely impossible t
get an expression of opinion from
any man who is known to be
> candidate. They are all unde
| restraint; no man knows what
4 going to happen; no one wishe
D to commit himself in advance c
/ the general showdown. 1t woul
p be impolitic and probably suicida
i None can tell what a day will brin
]. forth. All seem to be waiting fe
/, the command from headquarter
i and headquarters appear to
j. waiting the word from some OF
e else. 1t is said that even the al
: powerful Murphy Foster is wea
ing a serious and preoccupi,
look. Up to date it looks lii
le everything is chaos and unce
in tainty. No one appears to kne
p. anything, or if he does he is |
tie chary about telling. When
this silence. What does it me
= and what portend? Doubtless

Editor Will A. Steidley, of the
Lake Charles Press, has announc-
ed his candidacy for State Treas
urer, but he has not yet taken the
people into his confidence on the
paramount issuesof the campaign.
It is not known whether he fayors
nominations for the State Offices
by the primary or convention plan
or what he thinks about the auto
cratic patronage of the Governor.
These questions are up to the
gentleman, as they will be to all
the candidates. The people in
this part of the State want to
hear from him. The Journal
thinks Mr. SteidIey will develop
strength insthis section if he is in
line with public sentiment here.
He is capable, deserving man,
and would make an efficient off
Ger, yet his position on the mat
ters referred to will have a large
influence over his chances for sue

bassador's advice as to how much
he would be safe in saying for the
purpose of securing votes, without
incurring the danger of offending
Russia or drawing from the Gar II
polite but forcible invitation to "re.
move the beam from his own eye"
just wisat Cassini said is not known,
but it was obvious after the inter
view that the wiley diplomat was
extremely amused at the trankness
of the aspiring presidential candl-
date.
A new republic may be the out
growth of the proposition of the
| United States to construct the Pan
anna Canal. Reports from Bogota,
believed to- be reliable, are to the
effect that the inhabitants of the
States of Panama and Cauca are
unanimously in favor of the ratifi-
cation of the treaty, and that If
their insistence on this point is dis
regarded by the Colombian Con-
gress they will secede. These two
States are the ones that would
profit most by the construction OF
the canal. They are almost entirely
shut off from the rest of Colombia
by mountain chain, and in view
of the impoverished condition OF the
Colombian treasury, it is not be-
Ilieyed that the mother country
could effectually oppose secession
The two States would together
make q country larger than Costa
Rica, and the annuity OF S25O,OOo
which the United States is prepared
to pay for the use of the canal zone
would almost maintain the govern
ment, especially as this country
would pay bonus Of SlO,0oO,Oot
to start with. While it would be
diplomatic error for the State De
, partment to admit as much, it il
believed that there would be great
relief if these States could accom-
plish a successful revolution.
