aroasting Blanchard to get the par
ish printing contract, no matter how
much the best and lowest its bid might
be. Approaching all this, The Chief
INDUCED no expectation Of success in
the competition for the printing, and
can therefore find consolation in the
proverb, Blessed are they who expect
nothing, for they shall not be disap-
pointed. =
&c is further apparent that the item
OF public printing is excepted from the
matters concerning which the police
jury pledged itself to an 'seconomical
and business like administration. y
The exception was instituted last year
when The Times was given $500 more
for the printing than The Chief Of
fered to do it for, and the process has
now been repeated and affirmed by the
acceptance OF The Democrats highest
and worst proposal in preference to
The Times lowest and The Chiefs
best. We feel confident that nothing
less potent than political pressure
which is too often permitted to out
weigh all other cosiderations whatso-
ever-could induce the capable and
usually fair-minded business men on
the police jury to ignore and contra
vene their own declaration .of policy,
and to award contract involving an
expenditure OF public funds on basis
that they would not dream OF adopt
ing in the conduct Of their personal
business aft airs.

A Political Fizzle.

A handful of disgruntled Repub-
licans whose real grievance is that
they have either been separated from
or failed to connect with positions in
the federal service, called a estate
convention to meet in New Orleans
on the 18th instant for the purpose of
protesting against the appointment of
Pearl Wight as member of the Re-
publican national committee for Louis
lana. The affair was an utter fzzle.
as it deserved to be. At 5 O'Clock,
the time set for the assembling of the
convention, - there were less than a
dozen persons in the hall, and it was
five hours later before the crowd of
seventeen got to work, diffused its hot
air and adopted its little resolutions.
When the relative standing of Mr..
Wight and the men who engineered
this farcical demonstr alton is taken in.
to alton, there can be no won
der that the kickers failed to secure
any following. People who object to
the leadership of such Republicans as
Mr.. Wight are n anifestly opposed for
reasons of their own to the mainten-
ance of a reputable Republican orr
ganization In this state that will at
least command public respect, even If
it fails to achieve success at the polls.

Without reference to the manner in
which the honor was acquired, The
Chief congratulates its young contem-
porary, the Daily Democrat, upon its
assumption of the title of official Jour-
nal of the parish OF Ascension. The
Democrat will NO doubt wear the dis
tinction gracefully, il not blushingly,
and there need be no apprehension OF
failure to properly perform the duties
attached to the position, even to the
onefous one OF drawing the monthly
stipend. # our neighbor needs any
assistance in this particular or other
wise, the service and facilities of The
Chief are at his dismissal at all times,

The Parish Printing Award.

The police jury of this parish has
repeated its last years performance
of awarding the contract for the par
ish printing on the basis Of political
and partisan favoritism, without re-
gard to the merits of the competitors
whether as to the circulation and status
OF the newspapers they represented or
the respective prices at which they Of
fered to do the work.
The Daily Times proposed to take
the contract for $3.50; The Chiefs bid
was $500, while the Daily Democrat
submitted an indefinite proposition to
do the printing sat legal rates. Con-
sidering that the proper basis for es-
timating the value Of a newspaper as
an advertising medium is the extent
and character Of its bona fide circula-
ton, we may be pardoned for contend
ing that The Chief was the best bidder,
since it is not only much older
paper than either of it's competitors.
but has circulation very much larger
than both OF them put together. IN
point OF bald figures, however, the bid
of The Times was the lowest of the
three, and it was submitted by a paper
that 'sholds the age" on The Demo.
erat chronologically and as to eireu-
lation. Hence, in deciding to give the
contract to The Democrat the police
jury rejected both the best and lowest
bids and accepted the highest and
worst.
It is apparent that political expedi-
ency was the sole factor which IN.
fuenced this decision. Under the
Blanchardian oligarehy which con-
trolls the state and parochial govern
ments and the affairs Of the Demo
cratic party II Louisiana il would
probably have been regarded as high
treason for the local representatives
OF the reigning dynasty to have per
mitted q Republican paper that had
committed the objectionable sin OF

A Pot-and.Kettle Quarrel.

A Pot-and.Kettle Quarrel.
Our esteemed contemporaries OF the
New Orleans daily press have beer
| for several weeks involved in an an.
mated though scarcely edifying con
troversy, growing out OF the shaking
up of the police system OF that city
and the selection of E. S. Whitaker as
inspector of police.
The Daily Item says with much per.
tinthcy that il is passing strange to see
the Times-Democra and the Picayune,
| which both lambasted Martin Behr-
man numerically during the campaign
that eliminated in his election as
mayor, now hankering for his speedy
ivindication in connection with his suit
against Proprietor O'Malley and Pub
Usher Denholme Of the Item for al
legged defamation Of character. Many
observers besides the Item have noted
and marveled ut the radical change OF
base on the part of the I'D, the Pic.
and the mayor with respect to their re-
lations towards each other, but it must
be the general verdict that still more
peculiar feature of the situation is
presented by the attitude of the Item
itself.
When the morning dailies we're rak-
ing Candidate Behrman fore and aft
with view Of preventing his eleva-
ton to the mayoralty, the evening
Item quite as vigorously defended and
supported him, and there is no deny
ing that this support was considera-
BILE factor in bringing about the sue
cess OF the city ticket headed by the
present mayor. Now, however, we
find the Item figuring as defendant in
libel suit based upon the publication
in its columns OF the charge that the
man for whose integrity and worth it
had but recently vouehed was in point
Of fact an unconvicted criminal whose
misdeeds were of q character render
ing him liable to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary; and the denuneiation is
accompanied by the admission that
the Item was in possession of this
knowledge when it helped to lift Mr..
Behrman into the mayors chair and
make him the chief officer of the me-
tropolis of the southern states.
The quarrel among the New Orleans
papers partakes largely of the char
acteristics OF the tabled wordy conflict
between the pot and kettle, wherein
each called the other black and both
told the truth. The Item alleges
that the combination between its con-
temporaries and the mayor is a con-
spiraey formed for the selfish personal
purpose of encompasslng the election
OF Whitaker as inspector, and perhaps
the charge is well founded; but it
seems equally apparent that the Items
opposition to the movement and repu-
diation OF its erstwhile political proteg6
are inspired by personal snimosity
towards the new inspector. It's
smutty controversy, anyway you look
at il, but the Items pot is palpably
several shades darker than the COM
bination kettles.
