At such a moment there is
nothing we can say, but we may
quote from Father Ryan, the
poet-priest:
Out of a land in whose bowers
Perish and fade all the flowers;
Out of a land of decay,
Into an Eden where fairest
Of Aoweretts, and sweetest and
rarest,
Never shall Wither away.
And here is an editorial from
the Picayune. on the same sub
ject:
ABSENT BUT NOT FOR
GOTTEN.
Yesterday at Donaldsonville
the active work Of John 7. Michel
in his candidacy for governor of
Louisiana was inaugurated under
the most suspicious circum-
stances. It is true that the can
didate himself was not present,
but to no single member of the
vast throng that attended the
meeting did his absence create
any other. feeling but one of the
sympathy and respect.
There are sentiments in life
than ambition, no mat
ter how enobling, and one Of

annulled, avoided and reversed,
and that this cause be remanded
to the District Court with in
structions that the defendant, J..
2. Lewis, be discharged from
further prosecution"
These facts can be substan-
tiated by application to the rec
ord. Judge Hall was charged
with unusual and undue activity
in this particular prosecution.
In a civil suit affecting the IL
cense fee, the attorneys for Mr..
Lewis filed a formal motion ask
ing Judge Hall to recuse himself
on the ground that he had been
counsel for the prohibitionists.
It was charged that he had gone
himself into the grand jury room
when that body appeared re-
luctant to return indictments
against Messrs. Lewis and Broad
max and insisted on present.
ments being made. 1t was also
charged that he had counseled
and advised the prohibitionists in
Morehouse in their fight against
the legal license holders at Bas-
trop.
This was truly unseemly
and highly partisan conduct in a
judge in regard to a case that he
knew was to be brought to trial
in his court, and was so tried by
him. It was so unseemly in a
judge of a high court that it is
inexcusable and raises the ques-
ton that if the judge is to sit on
the highest court in the state
and still retains his overWeening
partisanism in causes that may
come before him, would it not be
better us the least Of two evils
to make him governor, SO as to
maintain the high reputation of
the greatest court.
However, there is nothing
criminal in the act charged to
the judge. It only has an ex-
ceedingly unpleasing odor.
But how high is the reputation
and honorable the record of our
public men of state and city, Of
fcials and candidates, when COM
pared with those that have made
up the recent criminal record Of
such states as Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Missouri and Colorado,
where in the legislatures bribery
and corruption, the Jackpot" in
the election of United States
senators and a division of the
plumber in public franchises and
contracts have been the rule,
not to mention the crookedness
in the government Of such cities
as San Francisco, Denver, st.
Louis. Pittsburg and others.
Compared with them our pub
lie men, officials and candidates,
offer a wonderful contrast, and
where reputation is so good the
questions of ability and capacity,
fitness and the best public inter
ests come first.
AS for Mr.. Michel, the other
candidate for governor, he rises
to the highest mark of character.
and fills every requirement of
fitness, ability and the promo
ton Of the best interests of the
state and its people.

The present Aldermanic contest in
the Third ward, between Alderman
Milton ]. Foreman and Albert R.
Tearney, is one that directly concerns
every Colored voter in the ward,
therefore, since Mr.. Foreman, gives
it out that he cares nothing about
the Colored voters, thought a word
from me, inasmueh as / have been
in Mr.. Tearney's employment for the
last seven years, might be of interest
to the voters, as to his treatment of
the Colored men in his employment,
and his interest in the race. Coming
directly IN contact with Mr.. Tearney,
daily, / am certainly in a position to
contradict or affirm any statement
made concerning him. 1 can truth
fully say: that Mr. Tearneys interest
and friendship for the Colored people,
and particularly for those in his en-
ployment, has been thoroughly test
ed, as the (white union men( have
made an untiring effort to have him
replace his Colored men with white
men, but on every occasion, they
have been told frankly. that he would
always retain Colored men. If the
Colored voters ever needed a repre-
sentative in the City Council to whom
they could go and get the proper con-
sideration, it is certainly now, there
fore, if we will, to the the man sup
port Mr.. Tearney, in him, we will
have such a man.

~ YOU ARE A VOTER IN THE
THIRD WARD, DO NOT FAIL
TO READ THIsII

During all political contests, it is
to be expected that the party to
which the respective Candidate is
amliated with, will make every pos
sibls EFFORT to reach the voters In the
interest Of their candidate, either
through their workers in the various
precincts, or BY sending out political
literature telling why their candidate
should be elected. But in the present
Aldermanic contest, in the third ward
between Alderman Milton ]. Fore
man and Albert R Tearney, there is
this unquestionable difference; Al
derman Foreman, Is and always has
been the representative Of the
(sHK STOCKING) element in the
East end Of the ward, and ignoring
the Colored voters on the whole. HaV-
ing known Mr.. Tearney, personally
for the last fifteen years, and coming
in contact with him almost daily dur
ing that time. / feel that a word
from NE to the Colored voters Of the
ward, concerning Mr.. Tearney, will be
worth some thing, at this time. Mr..
Tearney's business and executive abb
lily commends him to the ONCE. He
u q self made man. II he is elected.
there need be no fear that the little
fellow can not see him, as the door
OF his once win always be open 20
his constituents, let them come from
the Boulevard or from Armour ave
nue.. Mr.. Tearney, roes not believe
IN segregation, therefore, II there
happens to be a large number Of Col
ored voters in his precinct, he will
not have the precinct deVided as Al
derman Foreman, did in order to get
the Colored voters out of HIS, sristO-
cratic precinct, and incidentally get a
Colored man, who happened to be
