Supervisor McFaddin publishes
statement this week, which shows the
county to be in debt about $10,500,
with a useless road engine and some
no account mules on it's hands. The
present tax collection may cover all
but about s3.40O Of the debts against
the county We had hoped that Su-
pervisor Owens could have managed
to turn the office over to his success
or without debt and the roads in
good condition, but such is not the
case. The roads are in bad fix and
the county is in debt. This debt will
have to be paid, but as the levy has
been fixed for this year without the
actual condition of the county being
known to the delegation, no increase
in the levy will be made. There is a
clamor all over the county for the
supervisor. but he tells us he is with
out the necessary mules to move, and
that as soon as he can be provided
with the stock he Will take the gang
and repair the places most needed
The mules turned over TO him gre
old and practically worthless, the
good naules formerly owned by toe
county were scld by Supervisor owens
when ne bought the road engine.-

It is true that the removal of the
dispensary directors by Gov. Ansel
was, in effect, demanded by the legis-
Iature and that there was scarcely
any room for escape from that course
of action, but he could have dilly-dal-
lied and quibbled and postponed ac-
tion until the abolition Of the dispen-
sary would have made action unnec-
essary. The legislature put the mat
ter squarely up to Gov. Ansel, and it
IS to his credit that he met the issue
squareIy and disposed OF it promptly
We Gid not expect it Of Gov. Ansel,
but We are none the less pleased by
his course IN this matter.

Mr.. Guion Not The nan.

In speaking of Mr.. Guion's
administration, the Franklin
Waterman says:
The law gives him the right to
bring any suit in behalf of the
State before any court, and the
government is not compelled to
put up a deposit for that purpose,
and he has not done it, or any
thing else that We are able to
find. If anybody else can point
out any measure of merit or
worth, coming from the office OF
the attorney general, the Watch
man will be too glad to publish
it and give the item an extra pro
minent place in our columns.
Compare our own attorney gen
eral with Hadley of Missouri,
who has trailed the trusts from
state to state, taking IN New
York and the East as well as the
West. who has kept violators on
the bounce from the Atlantic
across the continent, giving them
no rest from the assaults of jus
tice, and Davidson of Texas, who
has chased them from the south
ern empire, while our own officer
told the people Of New Iberia
that he could do nothing.
Well, we want a man who can
do something. and this is the trip
when we are going to have him.
If he happens to be another
specimen of inability, then we
will put him out. We want a
man with steam and snap and
ginger-one who will do things
and give an account of his SER
vices as we'll as his salary. Mr..
GuiOn has not done a thing, and
it is time to try somebody else.

Bob BrOussard's Defiance.
Donaldsonville Chief.

Donaldsonville Chief.
What seems to have been decidedly
the largest and most successful mass
meeting of the pending Democratic
primary campaign YVES held at New
Iberia last Wednesday in the interest
of Mr.. Wilkinson and the local can
didates training with the Wilkinson
Broussard combination. According
to the New Orleans Picayune a con-
sentative estimate would place the at
tendance at 5000 persons. while the
Times-D Democrat figured it sat least
$780," Speeches were made by Hons.
Theodore s.. Wilkinson, John NJ. Par
ker r. +. BrOussard and Judge A.
v. Coco, and they were all pretty
good speeches, too-that is, as Demo-
cratic speeches go.
The bright particular oratorical
star of the occasion, whose effulgence
outshone aver that of the ~gubernato-
rial luminary himself. was Congress
man ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS "Coozan
Bob, whose recent decl aration of his
attitude with reference to the aspir-
ants for governor caused rejoicing
in the camp of the farmer candidate
from Plaquemines and CORES pond
ing chagrin and CONSERVATION a
mong the myrmidons OF the boy or
ator of the pellucid Teche.
This being his first public talk OF
the campaign, Mr.. Broussard turned
himself loose. so to speak. and what
he did for Wilkinson and against
Sanders was a plenty. If The Chief
wasn't Republican paper and sup.
porting Frank Williams for governor
it would be tempted to characterize
the eloquent young Creole congress
mans effort as a corker and sock
dolager, but of course it isn't in &C
cord with the ethics of political pews'
papering as interpreted in Louisiana
to make any such admission concern
ing the speech of a man who doesn'
belong to our party and isn't sup
porting the same fellow we are.
One of the most significant cross
counters in Mr.. Broussard's straight
from-the- shoulder onslaught was this
First. it is limited, then threatened
whether with or without the assent O
Mr.. Sanders I do not know. nor doe!
it matter, that the success of the can
didacy of Mr.. Sanders means my re
tirement from the public service. The
challenge is squarely given and l &C
cept it, and tell them that my retire
ment depends not upon them, but up
on you my co~untrymen. However
should that retirement come, let then
be assured that it will not find m
amiable and submissive, but repOn
sive, stubborn and unyielding, return
ing blow for blow, and falling, if fall
do, in the thickest Of the fray.
There's filling for Sanders pipe
that ought to keep them busy smokinI
for q while!

B. & O. FINANCES GOOD.
President Denies Report Company
Would Float Short Term Notes.

oscar G. Murray. president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company. said yesterday that the
company had all the money It needed at present
and would not issue notes do any other financing
at this time. This statement was made in answer
to the early announcement by a news bureau that
the company had borrowed 100000 and would
of1er S0O0O,00 worth Of short term notes
AT the directors meeting yesterday the regular
dividends We're declared the preferred and COM
mon stock. and statement of earnings was pre-
scented, showing n surplus after dividends for the
nscal year OF $5.91.376. Gross earnings SS5,-
o92'5l4 and surplus over charges $17471, SOL The
idea that the company would come into the market
Tor money was based the theory that in its pur-
chase OF the Chicago Terminal Transfer bonds
amounting TO SG000G10. it had weakened its work
ing capital to an extent that would compel the
raising Of additional funds either through direct
loan or through short term obligations.
The general financial position of the Baltimore &
ONO Is excellent and the outlook along the line of
the property for heavy traffic continues most prom
lsing. Expenditures which have been made upon
the road in recent years have brought It up to a
condition OF physical efficiency second to no other
road in the country

however that good many Of the furnaces did not
in June come up TO their usual tonnage. From all
the distributing markets come reports OF the same
tenor as to pig iron dulness, with occasional in
dlcations of easing prices particularly on of grades
and rnisft irons. Foreign irons still being Of

operate and it looks though the English mar
