by Gen. Kirby Smith while he was still a
student at West Point, on the battle fields
of the Mexican War, on the Southern
frontier. in Virginia while recruiting the
armies of the Confederacy and while recov-

the Confederacy, have been freely drawn
upon. The military operations of the
Kentucky campaign and of the Trans
Mississippi Department are related in the
words of papers carefully prepared by Gen.
Kirby Smith for publication shortly after
the close OF the Civil War. Gen. Kirby
Smith, like Gen. Lee, turned to educational
work after the war and to the training of
the generation of young manhood in whom
lay the future hope of the South. He con-

THE STATE PRESS.

Correspondent of New Orleans Times
Democrat: Education in Louisiana has
become the political football OF politics,
and as long as the politicians who make
notifies a business for their own gain are
powerful, so long we will have the educa-
tional progress of Louisiana stultif1ed.
Louisiana has made tremendous progress
educationally during the past few years,
but it has not been because OF the educa-
tors who mix their mission with that OF
politics, and politicians who meddle with
education, but in spite of them.
Iberville South: Many of the policies
urged by Mr.. Aswell We're theoretical and
visionary and an endeavor to put them
into practice has resulted in bankruptcy
for many of the School Boards OF this
State. Mr.. Aswell's chiefest fault seems
to have been in his want Of confidence in
the people and his open hostility to home
government, He professed to believe that
the people were not competent to manage
their own affairs and his effort in matters
of legislation were directed to the taxing
away from local School Boards OF all power
or control over educational matters.

Gen. Albert Estopinal.
New Orleans States. |

BY the nomination without opposition of
Gen. Albert Estopinal and Hon. Robert c.
Davey for Congress in the First and Second
Districts respectively, the Democrats of
those districts have done we'll. y
Although several other excellent gentlemen
were discussed in connection with the posi-
ton, Gen. Estopinal's merits so impressed
the people of the district that they nomi-
ated him without opposition.
Gen. Estopinal will make good repre-
sentative in Congress of the interests of
the people of the First District. He is a
native of Louisiana, gentleman of marked
ability and force of character, his expe-
rience in public and political affairs has
been extensive. He served many years in
the State Senate, was Lieutenant Governor
for four years. and he served calamity in
the Confederate Army. AS manager of
the campaign conducted in behalf of Gov.
}. Y. Sanders, he won much applause and
gained familiarity with men and condi-
tons in the State which will be of great
value to him as a Congressman.
Gen. Estopinal has devoted many of the
best years of his life to the service of the
State, beginning with the time when, as
mere lad, he entered the army, and he has
not sought for himself offices of profit or
emolument. 1t is fitting, therefore, that
the Democrats of his district should pay
him the delicate compliment of the nomi-
nation, without opposition, to this impor-
tant Office
