DRUNKEN LEGISLATORS.

1t appears from reliable reports
that few Legislators have so far
forgotten their duty, to say moth
ing of common decency aud prop
priety, as to indulge in drunken
and disorderly conduct in the leg
islative chamber, one having been
removed forcibly by the sergeant
alarms. 1t is almost impossible
to conceive how any sane person,
whatever his station in life, can so
debase himself by yielding to such
gross sensuality, but when men
who have been selected to repre-
sent the people in the high aud
exalted capacity of legislators, are
guilty not only of brutal drunken
ness but of actually interfering
with legislation, the matter passes
comprehension. Imagine for
moment, members of the Police
Jury, or of the School Board or of
the City Council, walking into the
public sessions of these bodies in
maudlin condition and disturbing
their deliberations. How long
would the people of Lafayette en-.
dnre the disgrace' And yet here
we have the State Legislature with
its high and important functions,
composed, in part at least, of men
who have so little respect for the
people and absolutely none for
themselves.
The condition noted is no now
thing in Baton Rouge SC says an |
esteemed contemporary and is as
cribed to some "mystie" influence
Of the capital city. Bnt the matter
is a serious one and no joke will !
suffice to cover up the offense or
divert public condemnation by all |
right thinking people. II drunk
nnness has been the normal condi.
tion Of the Louisiana Legislature
FOR years past, it is about time to
call halt. No sensible man would
entrust q business transaction to a
agent and it would seem
The supremest folly for any com
munity to elect representatives who
cannot be trusted with the enact-
nent Of laws that affect the very
ives and property Of all the peo-
ole.
IL drunkenness is SO common
,mong the Legislators as some pap
,rs say, is it any wonder that rail
'oad and other corporate influences
nave been so effective in controlling
egislationi Is not the presence
" a lot of drunkards and corrupt
men a positive menace to the prog
.ess aud welfare of the State'

This controversy as to whether
the father Of John ID. Rockefeller
has lately died, or is still in the
land of the living, is rather psthe-
tic than otherwise. The statement
Of John ID. that there is no truth Ia
the report of his death would seem
to be entitled to credence, though
the refusal OF any of the members
OF the family to reveal the present
whereabouts OF the father, alive
or dead, is construed as enveloping
the matter in good deal Of mys.
terry. There may be good and suf-
fcient reasons for this action on
the part of the family, but it is
somewhat difficult for orapYrv
