On tho Defensive.

On the Defensive. Johnny Clayton was the i'll used son of an ugly stepfather. He always threw up his right arm whenever he answered any question in school, as though fearing an attack from his teacher. It was impossible to break him of the habit, and so the pupils and teachers became accustomed to 1t and made no comments.
 But when the bishop came to town and talked to the Sunday school he lined hp the boys and girls in class room form to ask them some questions from the catechism. Johnny Clayton happened to be at the upper end of the alignment. and the bishop gave him the first question:
 'Tell me. please, who made this great world of ours"
 "l didn't do it," exclaimed Johnny as he threw up his arm.
 What is the meaning of this?" said the bishop severely.
 T mean that if did won't do it again." said Johnny, with sob, as he threw Hp his hand and arm.
 The surprised bishop walked over to- ward the excited boy, and Johnny broke for the door, screaming: Help! Moth er"-Success Magazine.

What fha t,ohenltss Amount To.

When the Cohen faction of the Re-
publican party in Louisiana announced
the withdrawal of their state ticket
several weeks before the recent cleo
ton the belief was general in political
circles that the action was superfn-
duoed by the inability OF the faction
lists to obtain the signatures of 1000
qualified voters prerequisite to the
placing OF their ticket on the official
ballot, and that, even if these sigma
lures had been available, the Cohenite
leaders would have shrunk from a trial
of strength with the regular and rec
ognized party organization OF which
Frank B. Williams is chairman. The
announcement tn at the Cohen Coleman
ticket had been Withdrawn in order to
give the Williams-Pharr nominees a
clear field against the Democratic
party, was intended for political effect
with the Republican national commits
tee and convention, but it could not
and did not deceive any one familiar
with the political conditions in this
state 1t is well known here that if
the Cohenites could have got their
candid ates on the ballot and had dared
to measure votes with their Republican
competitors, the opportunity would
have been eagerly embraced for the
sake of the political capital the result
of the contest might have yielded at
Chicago next month.
The Cohenites did venture and invite
little test OF strength in the city of
New Orleans, where they succeeded in
mastering the 100 votes required to
nominate a candidate for the single
tax collectorship, and their nominee,
Ed. Young, was supported with the
avowed purpose and expectation of re-
ceiving a larger vote than that to be
polled by Louis P. Bryant, the regular
Republican candidate for the same
Office.
The returns show this result:
Bryant, 2617; Young, 232. The Cohen
tie candidate was beaten more than
eleven to one, and in statewide con-
test there can be but little doubt that
the factionists would have been dis
tauced still further.

Baseball Bulletin.

The redouhtable Phelps Tulanes, OF
New Orleans, will try conclusions
with the local Blues at Cleveland
Park tomorrow afternoon, and it is
safe to assume that she game will be
peppery and interesting from begin
ming to end. The Phelps Tulane team
is one of the fastest and best in the New
Orleans Semi-Prof. League, and has
held its own against such classy clubs
as the Parker Blakes, 0'Harrigans,
.Chalmettes and EddIes. Among its
players are Bonafee, Hauck, Sicily,
Miller and other WelI.known stars of
the baseball armament. The Blues
will present their usual nifty lineup
aud may be depended on to give the
visitors run for their money.
Cleveland Park was dark last
Sunday, no game having been sehed-
uled by Manager Leche % account Of
the holding of the annual Catholic
fair. Ga Sunday, May 81, the Blues
will travel to New Orleans and tie
up with the far-famed Parker Blakes
Of that city.

udices on this question, since the Re-
publican state convention that met in
New Orleans on the 18th of May up.
held by vote of 462 to 40 the report
of a committee on nominations that
proposed the election of colored del
egate and colored alternate from the
state at large to the national Repub-
liean convention. This decisive re-
suit showed conclusiVely that no man
or set of men, however prominent and
influential, hold a brief to commit the
Republican party of Louisiana to the
proscriptive and heretical doctrine, as
viewed from a Republican standpoint,
that citizen s color should be made
the sole basis of his right and privi-
lege to have any share, however small
and humble, in political and public
affairs.
Some attempt has been made to claim
that all Republicans who spoke from
or appeared upon the same rostrums
with Mr.. Pharr, and all who listened
to his anti-republican utterances with
out openly expressing their dissent,
virtually Endorsed his views and
are bound by them. The claim is
untenable. Any public demonstra-
ton of the character suggested would
not only have been violative Of COM
mon courtesy and public order, but
demoralizing to the Republican CAM
paign. 1t is unquestionable, however,
that many of the Republicans who sat
and spoke with the Observation-Disclosures
date, deprecated his attitude as to the
subject under discussion and deplored
it's injection into Tue state campaign
as irrelevant, Unnecessary and unWise.
We have in mind a conspicuous in
stance of this dissent, where one of the
states Oldest and ablest Republics
leaders OBLIGATED as chairman of a
meeting addressed by MIR. Pharr and
gu bsequently in personal letter
avowed his inability as Republican
to accept or indorse the candidate s
opinions. Surely, it could not be ex-
pected that the chairman, while acting
as such, would then and there pro-
claim his disagreement and thus break
up the meeting or destroy it's effect.
Mr.. Pharr was privately advised OF
the iniadiciousness of his course, but
declined to be Influenced or dissuaded.
The duty of the Republican conven-
tion to put the party of this state right
on the issue forced in the front by MIR.
Pharr was plain, and the manner in
which this duty was performed was
emph attic and satisfactory. It is appar-
ent that the Louisiana Republican or
ganization is in line with the national
party, as it should be, and that lead.
Crs who refuse to subscribe to Repub-
liean principles can no longer be re-
garded or followed as Republican
lenders.

Strenuous Journalism in IberyiIle.

strenuous JOURNALISM In 1neFVHles
Rev. John J. Holtgreve, the able
and fearless priest in charge of ST.
Johns Catholic congregation at
Plaouemine, has found the running of
a newspaper in connection with his
clerical duties rather too strenuous a
taskevenf for his well-developede energy,
hence he has retired from the editorial
staff of the Iberville Sentinel. Father
Holtgreve declares that this step was
prompted by ''cowardly attacks upon
his character which had no other
provocationsthan his ''efforts to build
up sound and healthy public opin-
ion;a that his sole purpose in en-.
tering the editorial arena was tithe
betterment of Plaquemine and her
vile parish;" that because he "could
not be used as tooP' he becamea the
object of foul and vulgar abuse to
which as a gentleman he could not re-
tort in kind, therefore, rather than
expose himself to such unwarranted
attacks, he retired from the Sentinel,
begging an appreciative public to
give it's full moral and financial sup
port to those who will continue the
good work" The paper is now in the
hands of j. Howell Pugh and Alfred
G. Whidden, both former residents of
Donaldsonville, and they are making
it one of the best looking and spiciest
little sheets in the state.
