A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.
Paid Our Efficient and Able
Sheriff |. A. BrOussard.

VIC CdhC D1Coou1O i" ASPAO
ducing the following handsome
compliment paid Sheriff BrOus
sard by the New Orleans States
of Sunday:
After a service of many years
as sheriff of the parish of Lafay'
cite, and the winning of a re.
putatiOn as a tried, true and
fearless officer and a detective,
the fame of whose abilities and
success transcribed the bounds
of his State, Hon. Isaac A.
BrOussard was defeated for
denomination in the late pri-
maries in his parish. We have
no doubt that his successful com
petitOr is an able and most
worthy gentleman, for the
highest compliment that could
be paid to anyone in Lafayette,
we imagine, would be to say of
him that he was strong enough
before the people to defeat Ike
BrOussard.
We very much doubt if the
State of Louisiana has ever had in
her service one who was the
superior in all that goes to make
up the successful criminal officer
of Sheriff BrOussard. His skill
and resources in apprehending
criminals of the most desperate
character and bringing them to
justice are matters Of common
knowledge to the people of
Louisiana; and if a truthful ac-
count of his many adventures
and successes in that field of en-
deavOr were written the story
would possess the fascination of a
Sherlock Holmes romance.
None of the arts and tricks of
the rOmancer wOnld be required
to make such a history a story of
enhancing interest, but the
simple facts, recited in a plain
unvarnished way would serve to
place the name of Ike BrOussard
high among those of the great
cOnservatOrs Of law and of the
dignity of the commonwealth
who have ever frightened the
pages of American history.
Ike is a product of Southwest
Louisiana. AS a boy he knew
almost every foot of it's soil, it's
people and their habits and
customs. 1t was then that he
formed those qualities of charac-
ter, determination, acuteness of
perception, personal courage,
the ability to depend upon his
own resources, together with
those old time accomplishments
of the innate gentleman; to ride,
to shoot straight and to tell the
truth, that made his name for
so many years a tower of
in support of law and
in his section.
Mr.. BrOussard is yet, COM
paratiyely speaking, a young man,
not nearly so old as his achieve
ments and the fame he has won
would indicate t, the ordinary Ob-
server. Local causes, the clamor
for rotation in Office, the envy of
that class who dislike one because
he succeeds, combined with the
fact that he espoused in the State
the side that was weak
est in his parish, contributed to
about his defeat. In the
hot fight that was waged against
him his character, public and
private, was not assailed, and the
administration of his responsible
office was conceded by his OPP
pOnents to have been clean and
able.
In his defeat a brave, chival-
rOus and true man retires from
he public service, one the like
Of whom we have too few. His
host Of friends throughout the
State will wish him the widest
success in whatever field of ef-
fort he may now direct his
splendid faculties and energies.

| SEE that Congress is being
urged to make appropriations for
the construction OF roads in all the
States. Good roads would remove
more than one difficulty standing
in the way of our comfort and
happiness, and | know of nothing
more important to the general well
fare; but | am not in favor Of hav-
ing them constructed by the
Federal Government. Their build
ing and maintenance is a duty de-
volving upon the several States,
and their supervision ought to be
close to the people. This latter
day idea of flying to the general
government for relief from all in
convenience or i'll is pernicious,
tending to the wiping out OF State
lines and destroying their SOW
ereignty in all matters, local as
well as general. If State govern
ment is found impracticable and
ineffective, then let us honestly dc
away with the States and go tc
Washington for everything the
public needs, or thinks it ought tc
have. In that case, it is true, the
servant will be master, and the
erstwhile master slave; but the
duties that worry him now he will
know no more - he will need
neither soul nor name, but may
live and die an insensate part Of
the great machine he builded ano
once did direct.

An Havana, Ark, reader sends
an extract from a statement made
by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw,
in which, referring to the Demo-

ton, Mr.. Shaw said: "They said
it was Jacksonian. 1t was not.
Jackson was a gold standard man.
They said it was J~eifersonian. 1t

favoring the single gold standard"
Perhaps Mr.. Shaw has forgotten
that Andrew Jackson signed a bill
providing for the free and I'M

at the ratio of IS to 1, and he would
find it just as difficult to prove that
Thomas Jefferson was a single
