His Measure.
Monroe News.[


James B. Aswell is the most overrated
man in the State. A professional school
man only he has played more politics in
the last four years than all the other State
officeholders put together. OF
prepossessing appearance and glib of tom
que, he has been playing to the galleries
during his entire term of office and has &C.
complished more in the way of building up
teachers ring than he has in the cause
of education. Just watch it evolute.
Aswell- Caldwell Boyd Keeny All eman-
Stevens Byrd inside ring of the school
teachers ring. Just watch the plums fall
into their capacious maws at every shake
of the tree, while equally if not more de-
serving men are denied. This ring should
be nipped in the bud, and the time is short.
Louisiana should have at the head of it's
educational system Soule or Nicholson
or Prescott. Will not such an one offer?

Louisiana State Banks.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The encouraging condition of financial
affairs in Louisiana is well evidenced in
the report of the State Bank Examiner.
which gives the status of these banks at
the close OF business Sept. 4. This report
gives the gratifying total of 500, 1896, 1854
OF resources for the State banks. An en-
couraging feature is the fact that there has
been an increase in their number from last
year from 159 to 175, with corresponding
increase in their resources from $50, 1877 1854
to 500, 1858, handsome Improvement
q ST., 14i1m There are now banks in
every part Of Louisiana, in nearly eyery
town; and this fact has materially assisted
in carrying out the improvements under
way and in the rapid marketing of all crops.

September Fourteenth.
shreveport Caucasian. |

O~N~~S~-'l
In the historical annals of Louisiana the
Fourteenth of September will ever be con-
spicuous with the achievements of men
revolving against their oppressors and
striking for liberty and honor. The State
had experienced all the horrors of venality
and degradation at the hands of govern
ment of mongrels sustained with the
military power of the United States until
forbearance ceased to be virtue.
Having determined to strike off the
-shackles of Republican negroism, the sons
of Louisiana who had breasted the storms
of battles under Lee and jackson and
Johnston and other leaders of the South,
revolted and swept from power the hordes
who had become rich from the plundering
of the people in the guise Of law.
The blow struck on September IA, 1874,
for the emancipation of the people from
political thraldom most damning, electrified
the country. 1t gave renewed hope and
courage to the States of the South, domi-
mated as was Louisiana by Federal bayo-
nets and negroism.
1t was from this blow that the govern
ments by carpetbaggers and thieves, pro-
tected by Federal bayonets, fell from the
weight of corruption and rascality. Well
may the generations of to-day revere the
triumphs of this day. 1t was through the
determined efforts of the Confederate SOL
1iopc nv 4I,ok r
and the South were finally liberated from
the clutches of the political vampires. 1t
was the Confederate Veterans who made
possible the triumph of the rule of intelli-
gence and white supremacy over the Afri-
canization of Louisiana and the South.

THE STATE PRESS.

Lake Charles Press: Love in cottage
is great thing-for the man who collects
the rent for the cottage.
Lake Charles Press: Now that winter
is fast approaching, use that mail order
catalogue in making fires.
st. Francisville True Democrat: ]. B.
Aswell has announced for State Superin-
tendent of Public Education, in other
words, Autocrat of the Department of Ed
ucation.
The Lake Providence Banner-D Democrat
gives this report from happy East Carroll:
ono one knows at the present time how
East Carroll is going, as State politics is
hardly mentioned.
Mansfield Journal: So far, Capt. O. B.
Steele of Baton Rouge is the only candi-
date for State Treasurer. There appears
to be strong sentiment in favor of Capt.
Steele, for the reason that many men think
he should have been declared the winner
at the last election. 1t would be difficult
to defeat him in the present race.
Claiborne Guardian Journal: The saloon
is lawless institution. That fact accounts
in part for the rapid growth of prohibition
in the South. The race question also con-
tributes to the spread Of prohibition. This
question is ugly enough at best, and it is
worse when the weak and ignorant race
has unrestricted access to mean whisky.
Shreveport Journal, Saturday: The sa-
loon claimed one more victim yesterday.
Such tragedies as that which occurred on
Milan Street, following drunken quarrel
in the Inn saloon, will surely sound, sooner
or later, the death knell of the liquor bus
ihess in Shreveport. 1t started with
social drink among friends-it ended with
the death of one and murder charge for
another.

TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

The number of immigrants that came
into the United States during the year
ending June 80, last, was, according to the
official report, /, 1856, $40, the largest number
on record for any one year, and about
900 more than came in the last preced-
ing year. This great influx of foreigners
is something to be seriously considered.
We are receiving too many immigrants,
far too many of the Objectionable sort. A
great number of those who come are of
races that have no natural affinity with
native Americans and are out of sympathy
with and are incapable of a right concep-
ton of republican government ideas. The
census of 1900 showed that there were
about 10, 900, 900 foreign born people in this
country at that time or more than 10 per
cent. of the whole population. Very many
of these are intelligent, thorough-g going
and patriotic American citizens, but many
of them have no real appreciation of Amer
lean institutions and constitute restless
and disturbing element. At the rate of a
million and quarter of immigrants a
year, we will have added to our population
in ten years 12,5O0,00O more foreigners,
and if that rate of immigration keeps up,
in twenty -fiveyears the increase in foreign
born population will be over thirty millions.
