AN ANElNDE HONORABLE.

In The Chief of the 18th instant
the editor tried to say, in connec-
ton with the challenge to joint dis
cussion hurled by Dr. Aswell at his
competitors for the 5gubernatorial
nomination, that "sma1l Importance
attaches to the issue sought to be
raised by DR.. Aswell, whose self-con-
fidence in his own superior qualifi-
cations as a tstumper' is manifestly
the chief reason for his challenge.
The intelligent linotypist whose
more or less unhappy duty it is to
wrestle with the editors typewriter
manuscript eliminated the little word
small from the sentence, either in
advertently or from a conscientious
difference of opinion as to the value
of the Doctors issue, thus making
it. appear that The Chief regarded
the issue aforesaid as one of weight
and gravity rather than of minor
moment.
This paper is determined to adj
here to its proclaimed and estab.
lished standard of independence and
fairness, and will not Willingly or
willingly do any of the candidates
in the pending contest an injustice
Hence it is that we direct attention
to the linotypical error above noted
and tender to DR.. AsweH the amende
honorable for seeming to attach some
Importance to his joint discussion
challenge, when the logic of the sit
uation and the context of our com
ment alike demonstrated that the
matter was really Of very small i'm
portance.

All the Candidates Ahead.

Says the St. Helena Echo: ''The
state campaign was widely opened
on the Fourth at Ruston, and from
the viewpoint of each candidate for
a state office was a bowling sue
cess. Michel says it was him, Hall
said it's me, and AsWell claims he
had the thing by the tail and a
down5hill pull. Sanders said he was
going to the senate, Broussard said
he was as good as there, and Rams
dell said he didn't know where he
was going, but he was on his way.
Like all the other fools in the
country, we believe every word they
all said and all they still say about
lit, and only wonder how it is that
they are all ahead However, we
are going to keep cool and if we
don't make a Hall on them about
next January, we will be bigger
fool than ever.

LET'S Be Fair About Il.

It is expected that Governor San
ders will appoint Edward Everett,
clerk of court Of Union parish, as
secretary of state to fill out Secre-
tary Michel's unexpired term The
governors friends warmly commend
his selection of a north Louisiana
man for this position as calculated
to strengthen his own candidacy for
senator, and it is announced as likely
that Chas. K. Fuqua, the governors
private secretary, will withdraw as a
candidate for secretary of state if
Mr.. Everett wishes to enter the lists
for the place. It may be all right
enough from the standpoint of the
governors friends to countenance
and applaud his use of the power
and patronage of his office to fur
Their his campaign for another office,
but such an attitude ought to close
their mouths from any criticism of
Judge Hall for declining to reIinquish
his claim upon an office he can't
take possession of until after the
election and which would not enable
him il he was already in it to dis
pense any fayors calculated to in
fluenee the result of the election.

Goddess Of Liberty Needs a New
Gown.

The Goddess of Liberty, after a
quarter Of century buffeting the
winds of New York harbor from
her pedestal on Bedloe's Island, is
badly in need of a new gown. A
report by war department engineers
shows that the bronze sheeting OF
the statue is disintegrating, and
that already the metal is eaten
through in some places. In fact
there are seventy-five small holes
in the gown of the Goddess, vary
ing in size from pin points to open
ings as large as a quarter of a dol
lar. 1t is believed that the per-
forated plates can be removed sep
arately and replaced by duplicates.

A Solemn Truth.

The Lake Charles Times in a re-
cent issue enunciates the following
solemn truth, to which the press OF
Louisiana as whole can heartily
subscribe:
st is usually the man who does
not believe in newspapers who is the
first to ask a paper to keep his
name out when little disagreeable
things arise that might give him
some undesirable notoriety. Seldom
a day passes that some person does
not come to the Times and ask that
this or that be omitted, as it would
prove very embarrassing to him. In
a great many cases the request is
well founded, and it is a pleasure to
grant it, but in others it is a case
of pure, unadulterated gall on the
part of the one making the request. .

WHO THEY ARE-AND WHY.
; ~%:=*~~~~~~~~.

The coming of the Sixty-second Con-
gress has all but marked the passing
OF the Civil War veteran from the
arena of national politics. For more
than a generation following the close
of the struggle between the States,
the soldiers of the blue and the SOL
diers of the gray exercised a COM
manding influence in directing the af-
fairs of legislation in Washington. The
sacrifices and hardships which they
endured in the military service re-
warded with honors and distinction
conferred upon them in civil life.
Scores of them, many of whom were
manned and wounded, were sent to
Congress and served in both the Sen
ate and House, from the South as well
as from the North. The experience
they had gained in the field and in the
camp, gave them especial fitness and
ability with which to handle the many
vexing problems growing out of the
internecine strife.
