anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis.
There is less known about the history and
ideals of Jefferson Davis by the youth of

lived. It is proposed to have celebration
OF his hundredth birthday in many places

This is to be fight among Democrats
this race for the nomination Intelligent,
inquiring men, voters who are able to see
the right and to judge the ability of every
man who offers for political preferment.
The Democratic voters of Louisiana will
select the best man for Governor, and for
all the minor Offices, and if they are per-
mitted to do 50 without being subjected to
campaign of filth and fury, it will be
thoroughly appreciated. The best way to
insure such a campaign as this is to assure
all the candidates that the first one who
injects personalities into the running will
be sure loser.-,Shrevepor journal.
We heartily endorse the above para
graph. II any candidate essays to play
either the bully or slanderer in this cam
paign, we hope an indignant press and
public will drive him out of the race. Let
every candidate-from Governor to Con-
stable-run on his own merits, and not on
the alleged dement's of his opponents.

Philadelphia North America

Philadelphia North American: The
North Carolina decision is the latest de-
monstration that the rule of law for Amer
lean railroads has at last begun. Itclinches
and fixes all that has hitherto been done to
make the railroad corporation the subordi-
nate, rather than the superior, of the pub
nc. Not one step backward along that
course will ever be taken. The American
people intend to rule this land, absolutely
and without rivals.

Life is not tragedy, but a great privi-
lege. 1t is not vale of tears, but an up
ward climb to the mountain top, from which
it is but step to success and glory. Do
your work nobly, then, and if time slips
away it brings smile as we'll as a tear,
accept the tear, but do not ignore the smile.
Determine to be happy, to find enjoyment
wherever it is hidden, as the bee finds
honey in the flowers. We can laugh as
well as weep. Life is like music, which
has notes in the major as well as the minor
key. Be as cherry as your circumstances
allow, and let no day go by without a
search for the happiness which it may
possibly conceal under the guise of hard
ship.

Grand Cane Beacon: The Democratic

welfare and safety of the plain people OF

formed for the enforcement of liberty and
the economic and personal prosperity OF
the people.

we must remember that, after all, we are

merits and rely upon the wisdom and

We have advised our readers, and we re-

selves to the support of any candidate for
Governor. Wait until you have read and
studied their platforms and heard them on
the stump before making choice; and
then support the candidate that you hon.

the State. This, seems to us is the only
wise and sensible course to pursue.
