A few hours after the foregoing was
written the news came from Baton
Rouge that Gen. J astremski had suf
fered a relapse and appeared to be
steadily sinking. Yesterday the APP
prehensions caused by this turn for
the worse we're confirmed by the sad
intelligence that the old soldiers last
battle was over-that the heroic strug-
gle for life had ended in the peaceful
passing away of the gallant spirit at
$50 o clock in the morning. For sew
eral hours preceding the elimination
of his illness the patient lay in a state
of coma, hence his death was peaceful
and painless.
A brief outline of Gen. Jastremski's
career was given in these columns last
week, aud more extended sketch will
appear in our next issue. The funeral
took place at Baton Rouge at 1890
o'clock this forenoon, and was largely
attended by friends and admirers of
the deceased from all parts of the
state. To the sorrowing widow, the
two bereaved sons and other relatives

.pathies.

,sHarlequin" Throws Another Fliphap.

Several moons ago the New Orleans
Harlequin surprised and disappointed
large body of it's readers-constitu-
ting considerable majority of the
whole number in all probability
announcing its choice of Lieut.. Gov.
Sanders as the one of the three aspir-
ants for the gubernatorial nomination
best qualified for ADD most entitled to
the distinction. Harlequin has always
been close friend and warm sup
porter of Congressman Robert f.
Broussard's, and advocated him for
governor in and out OF season, hence
when "Cousan Bob" finally declared
that he was out OF the running in the
gabernatorial handicap, it was nat
urally expected that his devoted Har-
leonin would follow him into the Will
kinson camp. But the merry tumbler
didn't do anything of the kind. On
the contrary, he turned handspring
in quits another direction and to the
establishments and dismay of his most
ardent admirers among the onlookers
at the political pantomime, brought up
right in the middle of the Sanders
bivouac.
Harlequin wasn't in his right ele-
ment, however. In fact, as compared
with his environments, he was mani
fest misfit, and he wasn't very long
in finding it out. Mr.. Caffery's pro-
dLction OF the proof of his Donaldson
vile charges against Mr.. Sanders af.
forded not only q convenient excuse,
but an excellent iustifcationfo for another
fliptiap on Harlequin's part, and Har-
lequin promptly threw it. Here is how
the agile gymnast explains mis- latest
feat and puts Candidate Sanders il
sshe vocative:
THE statements of obvious fact
made by Donelson Gallery, Jr., in
Washington Artillery Hall the other
evening make clear to any American
citizen living in Louisiana that Jared
\. Sanders is not the man to be gov
ernor of this splendid commonwealth.
Proof takes such shape that it cannot
be refuted, and the kernel OF that proof
over and above all else is that at one
period of his public career, Sanders
dedicated his political endeavors to
Of trfckery. To manipulating

Extra Session to End Next Week.

The Louisiana general assembly set
tied down 10 worI; this week, as prom
ised, with the result tn at nearly all the
objects os legislation designated in
Gov. Blanchard S proclamation and
Lient. Gov. Sanders supplemental
proclamation have been covered by
acts and Joint resolutions already
adopted or advanced to such stages OF
legis lative progression as will render
them ready for final action during the
next few days.
The only exciting passages of the
daily sessions held this week were pro-
duced by the Herman bill to reduce the
number of state assessors in New Or
leans, the Lemann bill to lop off the
Offices of attorneys and legal advisers
OF levee boards and other similar bod
les, and the Gay bill TO amend the pri-
mary election law so as to prevent the
participation in a party primary of
any person who had not voted the
ticket Of that party at the preceding
general election. All Of these meas
ures were defeated, the Herman and
Lemann bills only succumbing after
spirited fight, but the freak Gay
measure being Withdrawn before com
ing to a vote.
The general assembly adjourned
from yesterday until 80 o'clock Monday
evening, the motion to adjourn speei.
flying that the action be taken in re-
spect to the memory OF Gen. Leon
Jastremski, who lay dead at his home
few blocks from the capitol.
The extra session will come to an
end next week, probably either on
Tuesday or Thursday.

Gen. Jastremski's Last Battle.

The chances seemed as q hundred to
one last week that it would become the
mournful duty of The Chief to an
nounce in today's issue bat Gen. Leon
Jastremski had passed away from this
life: that his last earthly battle had
been fought and lost, and his gallant
spirit had gone to join in the silent
biyouac of the dead the hosts tn at
have followed the souls of Lee and
Stonewall" Jackson "across the
river to rest under the shade OF the
trees"
But Leon Jastremski's last battle is
not yet over. The sturdy veteran IS
still resisting the onslaughts OF the
Fell Destroyer, and fast increasing
hope is felt by his family and friends
that he will not only survive his pres
ent afliction, but will recover his
health aud strength and prosecute TO
the end the campaign for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination IN
which he has been engaged Tor the
past four years.
After several altern ate spells OF col
lapse and revival, the distinguished
sufferer became so much better last
Sunday morning that he not only rec
ogufzed and conversed with relatives
at his bedside, but expressed desire
to get up and be shaved; and since
then he has been steadily improving
until his condition offers basis for
a seemingly reasonable expectation
that his life>will be indefinitely pro-
longed and that he will continue to be
factor in the gubernatorial contest
until the issue as between the Demo
cratic candidates is decided at the
polls in January.
While it appears to be in the largest
measure chimerical to imagine that be
stands chance for success in the
three-cornered struggle for the Demo
cratic nomination, it is not too much
TO say from the standpoint of candor
and equity that he is far more deserV-
ing of the distinction at the hands OF
his party than is either of his compel
itors. for it was he who blazed the
path and led the way for the reforms
in the administration of the state gov
ernment that his successful antagonist
in the campaign OF 1908 4 and the fol,
lowers OF both his present rivals are
now advocating and supporting with
eleventh. hour ardor and enthusiasm,
