MENTAL INFLUENCES.

For good or for evil men influence each
other by simple suggestion putting in ac-
ton a train Of thought. There is nothing
times seems like the influence which hyp-
notists allege that they exercise over their
subjects. All men are more or less i'm
questionable, and havingreceived asugges-
ton, they elaborate it themselves and ulti-
mately make it their own. lago makes no
charge against Desdemona, but he suggests
a doubt Of her faithfuness to Othello, and
the latter absorbs it and makes it his own.
Left to himself, he would have remained
loving and truthful, but under the influence
of suspicion subtly conveyed to him and
blinded by jealousy, he distorts every Cir
cumstance into proof of guilt as he sweeps
and the story woven into the play of
Othello is repeated in varied ways every
day of the year and in all communities. 1t
is the story of the power of one mentality
to impress itself upon another This power
is not always abused. 1t is used for good
purposes as we'll as for bad ones, and it is
because of the existence of this power that
one should be careful in the choice of init
mates. The proverbs which warn one
against evil companions are based, appar-
entity, upon the influence of bad examples,
but the real danger arises from the influ-
ence OF mind upon mind. The mere sug-
gestion of evil may set in action train of
thoughts which once started will need no
further impulses from outside. The gen.
erous mind poisoned by the suggestion of
a doubt of humanity becomes soured by
combinations Of the suspicious thus en-
gendered. A simple religious faith may be
shaken in the same way and never again
return. On the other hand, however, it is
just as easy for the good and noble to influ-
ence the thoughts of others. If this be true,
it is obvious that we should be careful of the
mental influences to which we may expose
ourselves. We should seek the pure and
innocent minded, the noble and good, that
our minds may be Influenced in the right
direction and we should avoid association
with the evil-minded, the cynical and the
impure-and especially those who invest
themselves with sneaking commission to
gather and distribute scandal-that we may
escape infection with what may prove to be
mentalpoiscn. acknowledgements different
aspects, according to the eyes with which
we look upon it. For our own satisfaction
and peace of mind, if for no other reason,
We should cultivate that view of it which
teaches US more of the virtues than the
vices of men and women, more of their
nobleness and generosity than of their
debasement and sef-seeking. And we can
do this only when we surround ourselves
with friends and intimates whose mental
influence upon US is sound and wholesome.

A bill passed by the Legislature provides
that Commissioner shall be appointed by
the Governor from a list of names SUBJ
mitted by the Louisiana Division of the
United Confederate Veterans, through the
Commander, to officially compile the Con-
federate Rosters of the State. Recognizing
his great devotion to the cause and his
eminent fitness for the work the many
friends of ajor General T. W. Castleman
would be glad to have him selected to COM
pile this record. His duties as former
AdJutant- General and present Commander
puts HIM In line, and we feel satisfied that
no man in the State will do the work more
consclentiously or is better qualified than
Gen. Castleman.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Baltimore Sun: Mr. Gompers got all the
sponge cake he was looking for at Denver
Louisville Courier-Journal: Laying a
flower upon grave is a graceful tribute
OF affection or respect or-as is sometimes
the Casa graceful acknowledgment of
repentance. Pinning a rose upon the breast
of the living is still kindlier act
Suffolk (Va.) Herald: The necessity of
defeating and destroying the Republican
party is what the people should understand
and appreciate. 1t is the prime necessity
OF the age We live in. Simplicity in gov
eminent, gradual reduction in the num-
bers of officeholders instead of a perpetual
increase, economy in expenditures of pub
lie money, the lessening of taxes of all
kinds-these are the essentials
Charleston News and Courier: To be-
gin with, the Republican party is the negro
party in American politics and that fact
cannot be wiped out or brushed aside.
Therefore, the Democratic ticket for Pres
ident and Vice-President must be supported
and ought to be elected. Any Democratic
nominee for President, though he were
dreamer and fool, would stand for de-
cency and against depravity in govern
mental affairs SO far as the South is con-
cerned.
st. Louis Post Dispatch: The Grover
Cleveland resolution at Denver did not
eulogize the former President as Demo-
crat. 1t commended him as ':character'
and leader" A self-respecting Dem
ocratlc convention might easily have
concluded to pass its own eulogy upon
Cleveland, rather than permit itself to be
used as funnel to trumpet the seant and
studied phrases of man who was afraid
to strike the dead but who, usurping the
role of chief mourner, did not have the
generosity to act we'll the part. When our
party conventions are so completely DOM
mated by one man that they fail to glory
in their own achievements and timidly re-
fain from doing homage to theirown heroes.
they might as we'll be made up of wax
figures and monographs.

THE STATE PRESS.

THE STATE PRESS.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: There
can be no despotism, public or private, SO
long as our people think for themselves
and our courts remain pure.
Louisiana Democrat: Instead Of being
removed from the cancerous virus OF poll
tics. the schools will become more deeply
immersed therein.
Baton Rouge special to New Orleans
Picayune: "That this Legislature has
overstepped itself in creating new salaried
jobs and extending the appointive power
is one of the comments of the closing days.
New Orleans Tines Democrat; We al
ready have a judiciary system larger than
that needed for Texas, with its four million
people, yet every session OF the Legislature
grinds out an additional court or SO.
st. Francisvile True Democrat: Parti-
san politics should be kept out of the
schools. The interests of education should
never need to bow to the yoke Of faction.
The teacher who serves should get clean
paw, the school house should be built from
unsubsidized funds. But we view with
apprehension and alarm that school mat
tiers are in politics. An autocratic system
is being strengthened daily, and he is but
poor observer who would deny it:
New Verda Tribune: In our article last
week anent the action of the VIM Parish
School Board in electing Superintendent
for nearly five years, we intimated that the
Board acted without authority. We have
since learned that the notorious Marks bill
gives them that authority, which makes it
more dangerous, reprehensible and un-
democratic than we had thought it could
be, coming as it does from Legislature
supposed to be representing the people.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: One or
two of the States have adopted a provision
similar to that proposed by Mr.. Favrot;
but the State of Louisiana has not and, for
that matter, no State has a right to sponge
on the railroads in the manner proposed.
To make them pay in full all their taxes
and other charges and at the same time
demand of them free passes for State
officials is the height of injustice. So the
Constitutional Convention thought; and the
Legislatureh has reached the same conclu-
| sion after discussing the matter.
New Orleans States: Allimpartialhistory
has shown that the South has produced
no greater or nobler son than jefferson
Davis, and yet it is the vogue in the North
to saddle all the alleged sins of the South
upon his heroic shoulders, and apparently,
as consideration for absolving us from
blame. 1t is distinctly unmanly and dis
honorable for Southern men to tolerate any
such fallacy as that which can find its
genesis only in intolerance and in igno-
rance of the true character of the man.
When the true history of the great conflict
between the States shall be written no
name upon it's pages shall shine with purer
lustre than that of Jefferson Davis. Any
classification on the part of Southern men
which leaves him out of the first rank
among American statesmen and patriots is
unjust to the memory of Mr.. Davis and
unworthy to come from the lips of South
ern leader.

\ Baton Rouge special to the New Or
leans Plcayune says: 1t is now generally
conceded among leaders here that General
Albert Estopinal will be selected from the
First Congressional District. His services
to the Democratic party, his record in
public life and general ability and standing
before the State have combined to make
him the choice.

A Happy Selection.
New Orleans States.l


1t is given out that Attorney General
Guion has offered the position of assistant
in his office to Colonel R. g. Pleasant, of
Shreveport, and that the offer has been
accepted. We believe that General Guoin
could have made no more judicious or
popular selection, and that he is fortunate
indeed in securing the services of Colonel
Pleasant in that position.
There are few men of his age in the State
who have ever made more agreeable i'm
preston upon the people than Col. Pleasant
made during his canvass for the ATTORNEY
Generalship. The fact that his campaign
was conducted upon high and manly
plane attracted many voters to his support,
and the size of that vote indicated clearly
that he is one of the coming young men Of
Louisiana.
Col. Pleasant will bring to the discharge
OF his duties in the office of the Attorney
General high degree of industry, patience
and courage, and educated intellect, a
knowledge of men and affairs and training
in law begun at Harvard and Yale, and
continued in the active practice Of his pro-
fession in Shreveport, where he has been
City Attorney during the past few years.
