Judge Blanchard Has Dome
Something.

The announcement is made thai
Judge Blanchard's resignation Of
his seat on the Supreme bench has
been in Gov. Heard's hands for
several days Thus Mr.. Blanchard
makes good his promise to resign
as soon as be had finished his
share of the Supreme Court work
assigned to him.
This gentleman's noted industry.
and bis ability to "keep everlast-
ingly at it, is the thing that rec
ommends him to people who love
a man who is able to do things.
On the Supreme bench he has been
worker, and in Congress he was
a worker. Witness his record of
opinions handed down, and his
great activity in Congress, on riv-
ers and harbors committee, Indian
Investigations, backbone land
grant, and a dozen other things.
Oh, yes, be has done something.
Those fellows who are asking what
ne has done can find out all about
him if they will only make little
inquiry. And, right here, let us
say he is going to do something |
slse. He is going to be Governor |
'f Louisiana, and don't you forget |
his assured contingency.

Geo. Jastremski perhaps has as
much respect and sympathy in
Louisiana as any old veteran of the
sacred "iost cause" In the pres
ent campaign, however, it is bust
ness and not sentiment that prompts
the progressive practical men in
this State to prefer such men as
Foster for Senator, and Blanchard
for Governor. All things being
equal, and these men beside being
patriotic. honorable and capable,
having proved themselves to be in
dustrious workers along lines of
utility and progress that suits the
people of this State in this her era
of development, they propose to
put them in position where the
commonwealth may have the full
benefit of their usefulness.

Are the Taxes Too High.

Taxes are too high in Louisiana,
and it is trifle surprising that
the matter is not being ventilated
by the press. Mansfield journal.
Why not tell us about it your
self, neighbor, so the balance can
catch on. The State gets along on
SIX mills, and the public schools
and all other State institutions are
getting pretty fair help, which they
need. What institution should be
cut short? This (Grant) parish
gets along on ten mills, three of
which go into the general school
fund. If we cut out the school ap-
preparation, we could run the par
lsh on seven mills, but we don't be-
iieve Grant parish wants to do any,
thing of the sort In fact, a num-
Der OF our progressive school dis
tricts have levied an additional tax
of i've mills for school purposes.
Therefore we don't know where to
begin to lop of, because our peo-
pie are not going to have any fool
ing with the school fund, and re-
luction can't very we'll be made in
my other direction. The above il
he first kick we have seen for |
ong time, and our neighbor should
ay exactly what he is kicking |
bout.

President Edenborn has mad

President Edenborn has made
two important statements, namely:
That the La Railway and Naviga-
ton Co will lay its own rails into
the city of New Orleans within q
year, and that it will have it's own
terminals and operate q steamship
line to Europe from its proposed
wharves. The progress of events
in that city, and the rapid pushing
OF work all along the line since
Mr. Edenborn made this declare
ton, gives occular proof that his
intentions are being carried to
completion.

nual trade edition, profusely illus
trated and autographed, in several
l6-page sections. giving a splendid
account of the resources and pro-

i Mr.. John r. Hunter, of Alexan
dria, this week authorizes ms to an
nounce him as q candidate for th,
Office of District Attorney for th.
18th Judicial District composed
of Grant and Rapides parishes
subject to the action of the Demo.
cratic party in making its nomina-
tons. Mr.. Hunter is q native Of
Rapides parish, and comes of q
family noted for its legal talent.
He is a SON of Hon. r. p. Hunter,
the noted lawyer and Confederate
veteran, and is q member of the
law firm of Robt. p. Hunter &
Sons. He is young man of splen-
did ability and is reputed to have
made the best record of any young
lawyer in the State. To his ability
and attainments he adds fine adj
dress, and is noted for his energy
and strong character-strong in
that it is pure and backed mp by a
steady, honorable life. Those who
know him best vouch that there is
no stain or blot upon his fair name,
and firmly believe that we cannot
find more fearless, energetic and
honest man for the position of dis
trict attorney. He is eminently
fitted for the duties of the Office,
being brilliant in mind, we'll train
ed IN the law, and an eloquent |
forcible and logical speaker. His
natural ability has been developed
by a splendid education, and 10 it |
all he adds sobriety and temper
ance, and always treads in the path
Of right and duty. In politics his
Democracy is unquestioned, as his
life is above reproach. We take
pleasure in recommending such a
nan to the voters of Grant parish.
md feel sure that his election
would give US firm, vigorous, i'm
PARTIAL and intelligent prosecuting
'ficer, who would hold the enforce
nent OF law and the preservation
t peace and order as q sacred trust |

way that it could be seen, came up
to him while he was sitting down

him it it was true that he had
threatened to kill him ON SIGHT.
Being told no, he said, "Well, you

yours. but I don't want any trouble
with you, and you had better 90
away" Lawrence answered, sWell,
Ill just kill you anyhow and with
that pulled his pistol and began to
shoot Caps says that he felt
sure from the twitching Of Law

fully intended to pull his pistol

his pistol as he arose, but Lawrence |
got in two shots before he could |
shoot
Both men had double action pis-

fectly at home when it comes to

the above subject is only to be had

BRIDAL DINNER FLOWERS.
Beautiful and Novel Table Ornamen.
tations for the Festal
Occasion.

Roses have been used so long for
anything connected with weddings
that some other flower will appear as
relief on the table, especially as in
all probability they will figure on the
wedding day itself, says Harper's Ba-
gar. In June we have one of the love-
lest and most effectively decorative
flowers of all the year, which will make
beautiful and novel ornament-the
f1eur-de-lis. Get those which come in
delicate shades of yellow and laven-
der; use the two colors, and have long
stems. They look well arranged in a
large mound in the center of the table,
standing in bed of moss on a con-
cealed platter, with an edge of their
own leaves; OF they are equally eff
fective when arranged in tall, slender
vases-one in the center of the table,
and the others scattered about Use
candles with them which carry out the
two colors, yellow ones with lavender
shades preferably. The dinner cards
may be elaborate ones, with sketches
of the same flower in water colors, or
they may be the ordinary conventional
fleur-de-lis cut from colored card
board, yellow or lavender, with an
edge painted in deeper tint. The
bonbons may also be in the same col
ors, and the china should be white or
white and gold.
