interesting LEGAL 0uestion.

An interesting legal point has been
raised in connection with the S50. 900
libel suit of District Judge Calvin K.
schwing against the reputed pro-
prietors of the Plaquemine Daily
Champion. Judge Schwing Reused
himself, of course, but instead of APP
pointing the judge of an adjoining
district to try the case in his stead, he
has named Judge Claiborne, who is Of
the same district as himself.
The parishes of Iberville, West Ba-
ton Rouge and Pointe Coupee form
one judicial district, for which two
district judges are elected. t would
seem to be clear, therefore, that IN this
instance there is attempted, either IN.
willingly or otherwise, palpable
evasion of the clear requirement of
the law that when district judge is
recused he shall appoint judge of an
adjoining district to act in his place.
The defendants in the libel suit have
fled motion for the resembling Of the
order of recusation which design ates
Judge Claiborne to preside in the case,
and if the motion is not granted, app
plication will be made to the supreme
court for a writ of mandamus to com
peI its recognition.

The General STAFF.

The disposition to reduce the gen.
eral staff is mistake. Especially is
it q mistake to accomplish the reduc-
tion by eliminating all the junior of
feers. Under our system, unfortu-
nately, major is an elderly man, al
ready past middle life. His tendency
is to keep in rut rather than to mend
the road or break out new trail.
The general staff has not been or
gained long enough to be given a
fair trial. To reduce it to about
twenty elderly gentlemen, no matter
how estimable and distinguished, will
be to emasculate it and to sound its
death knell. 1t should be spared and
streng thened rather than hacked to
pieces and destroyed.
The next war we have is liable to be
more serious affair than any hith-
erto except the civil war. We ought
to have some we'll considered and ma
tured plans for any eventua1ity. While
this is only one of thefunctions of the
general staff, it is probably it's most
important function.
The nation which goes into war
hereafter with as little preparation
and plan as for q street fight will be
frightful sufferer even if not van
pushed. The general staff not only
studies out ard natures plans for any
aventnality, but what is quite as i'm
portant, preserves continuity OF in
formation with regard to them and
keeps them up TO date by following
the Kaleidoscope changes which the
revolving years bring to pass.
# there is any wire pulling from the
adiutant generals Office as intima ted,
it ought to be summarily squelched as
not only misdirected but q fagrant
transgression OF the rules Of the SER
vice.
Anyhow, it is hoped the general
staff will be let alone.

Eureka Stable Changes Hands.

The Eureka livery stable in Missis-
sippi street, which for some years past
has been conducted by Messrs. J.. ].
Lafargue and j f. Hymel under the
firm name Of Lafargue 4 Hymel,
changed hands on Tuesday last, hav-
ing been purchased by Messrs. Gus.
Stephenson and T. Battle Cobb for a
consideration of $500. The property
transferred in the sale comprises the
b 3rses, rolling stock, harness and
other portions Of the equipment of the
stable proper, but does not include
the building, which is owned by r. q.
Noel, of Plaquemine. Mr.. Lafargue
subsequently re-purchased the under
taking department of the business and
will conduct it for his own account in
the future, while Njessrs. Stephenson s.
Cobb will have entire charge of the
livery stable. The firm will be
known as Lafargue, Stephenson &
Cobb.
The new owners of the Eureka es-
Establishment are no strangers here,
since Mr.. Cobb was employed for
many years as assistant manager of
one of the plantations comprising the
Miles group at Burnside, while Mr..
Stephenson is brother of j. w.
Stephenson. who is presently in charge
OF the Miles Company's Riverton place
at Burnside It is the intention Of
these gentlemen to thoroughly over
haul and rehabilitate the equipment
of the stable and to place number of
fresh horses in commission, and as
surance is given that they will leave
nothing undone to merit liberal
share of public patronage and offer
satisfactory service to all who may
have dealings with them.
Mr.. Lafargue will hereafter give the
undertaking department. of the estab-
lishment his entire personal attention.
and solicits a continuance in the fu-
ture of the generous need of public
patronage with which he has been ia.
yored in the past.
Messrs. Stephenson and Cobb are
both married and will shortly take up
their residence IN this city with their
respective families. The Chief takes
pleasure in welcoming them to Dom
aldsonville and wishes them unlimited
success in their new undertaking.

The New Cabinet.

On the day following his inaugura-
ton President Taft sent to the senate
the names of the men he had chosen to
be the members of his cabinet, as fol-
lows:
Secretary of State, Philander C. Knox of Penn
sylvania.
Secretary of the Treasury. Franklin Macveagh
of Illinois.
:, Secretary OF War. Jacob Med. Dickinson OF
Attorney General. George W. Wickersham Of
New York.
Postmaster General, Frank II. Hitchcock Of
Massachusetts,.
Secretary of the Navy, George Won L. Meyer OF
Massachusetts.
Secretary of the Interior, Richard A. Ballinger
OF w ashington.
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson of
Iowa.
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor, Charles Ma
gel of Missouri.
Two of these gentlemen were in
President Rooseve1t's cabinet Mr..
Meyer as postmaster general and Mr..
Wilson as secretary of agriculture,
the latter having served continuously
in the same position since his first APP
pointment by President Mckinley,
March 5, 1897.
The senate promptly confirmed all
the appointments, and the new cabinet
has already met and got into working
order. 1t compares favorably in point
of ability and representative capacity
with any of its predecessors, and there
is every reason to look for entire har.
mony and unity of purpose in its de-
liberations. The high purposes and
statesmanlike views announced by
President Taft have the full concur
renee and approval OF the members Of
the cabinet, and will be reflected faith
fully in the policies Of the administra-
zion as shaped by the president and
his official advisers.
That is prediction to which the
people of the United States, without
regard to political differences of opin-
ion, appear ready and willing to pin
their unfatering faith and trust.

Death of Or. p. T. st. Amant.
Communicated

The death of DIR. p. T. st. Amant,
which occurred Sunday evening. March
4, proved a great shock to the legion
of friends and acquaintances of this
estimable gentleman and deprives the
community of one of its Oldest and
most highly esteemed citizens.
DR.. ST. Amant was 81 years of age,
and the greater part of his useful life
was spent in this section. He joined
the Confederate army at the beginning
of the civil war and sustained a severe
wound at the siege OF Vicksburg.
After the war he praeticed his profess
sion for while in ST. Mary parish,
but soon returned to his home In this
neighborhood, where he resided for
the remainder of his life.
The funeral took place Monday
afternoon and was conducted by the
Masonic lodge, of which organization
Dr.. ST. Amant was a devoted and
popular membe So large was the
coneourse of sorroWing relatives and
friends who followed the remains to
their last resting place that the little
Baptist church could not accommo-
date them and the services we're held
in the cemetery.
Though not a member of any church
DR., ST. Amant was a true Christian
gentleman, and if Charity eoVereth
multitude OF sins'' his soul APP
peared before the great judgment seat
with clean record.
Left to mourn his death are eight
sons and two daughters, all of whom
have the sympathy and prayers OF the
people OF New River. May the belief
in better life beyond the grave sus-
tain and comfort them.
