CONGRESSMAN PUJO
RESORTS TO- VERY
ugly WORDS.
Calls Governor Sanders A Liar
In A Speech, and Then Takes
1t Back.

The Clarion regrets very mucl
that Congressman Arsene Pujo
from this district, is resorting t,
the Liar" argument in politics
The Clarion regrets it, because
it has always had the highesr
esteem for Mr.. Pujo; and it is
surprised that he should have
allowed his temper to get the
best of his judgment.
The incident is certainly nc
credit to him.
On the contrary, when a poll
tician gets wroth, it betokens
that he is in sore traits.
And, especially, when it ap-
pears that reporter had mis-
quoted the statement which Mr..
Pujo took offense at, attri-
buted to Mr.. Sanders, and which
Mr.. Sanders promptly corrected;
and it is reported Mr.. Pujo was
fully aware of the correction, the
epithet of liar" comes with bad
grace from q gentleman occupying
the position of Mr.. Pujo-a man
seeking for higher honors.
And again, it is particularly
harmful, when Mr.. Pujo was
compelled, by some sense of fair
ness, to recant the epithet of
liar" applied by him to Gov.
Sanders.
The Clarion sincerely trusts
that this will be the last incident
Of the kind during this campaign.

LOUISIANA'S GOVERNOR
WILL BE HERE IN OCT.
Dates In Last Weeks Issue, Saying He Would Be
Here In September Are
Erroneous.

Governor Jared Y. Sanders
will tour St. Landry in October,
and not in September, as re-
ported in the Clarion of last
week, and in the city papers.
The error is partially the
Clarion's fault, but not altogether
so, by any means.
A gentleman brought into the
Office the dates Of the itinerary.
The gentleman was in a hurry,
and did not tell us the month in
which the meetings would be
held. The data" merely read:
AT Andrepont, at 4 o. M,
the I'd, " and SO on down the list,
without indicating the month.
We naturally concluded that
the dates were meant for Sep
tember, and supplied the missing
month.
The New Orleans papers copied
the dates from the Clarion, and
the general impression is that
the meetings in st. Landry par
sh will be held in September.
The meetings will open at An
lrepont on October 2, at4o'clock
,. m. The same day the Cover
Tor will speak at Washington at
$50 p. m.

made one Of the best settlements
with the Auditor of any Sheriff

His efficient Chief Deputy, Mr..

The deduction list was smaller

GREATEST REPORTER OF WAR
Nc Vas Sir William n. Russell Whs GOvOFed
CPImean Csmpslga for LOadsn
Times

Sir William Howard Russell
the dean of English war cores
pondents, represented the Lon
don Times The Thunderer'
during the Crimean campaign
He relates how oddly out of plac,
he felt during preparations fol
battle and the expression among
officers and men that he was mo-
wanted.
/ never was in q more un,
pleasant position" he says in
writing of the battle of Alma,
Everybody else on the field had
some raison d'etre. I had none.
They were on a recognized busi-
ness. 1t could scarcely be recog-
nized or legitimate business for
a man to ride in front of the
army in order that he might be
able to write an account of a
battle for a newspaper. .
He saw the Charge of the
Light Brigade and also served
ii India during the days of mu-
tiny. Later he came to the
United States prior to the Civil
War, travelled through the south
ern states after interviewing
Lincoln and saw the Confederate
victory at Bull Run.
Il is interesting to note that
ia this one mans life the old
opinion of a war correspondent
as a general nuisance" about
an army has changed wonder
fully.
He was detailed to cover
the Franco-Prussian war and
stood near the Prussian King,
Bismarck, Moltke and Phil Sher-
itIan as they marched the assault
on Sedan. He saw the French
enporer carried away, a captive,
from sanguinary field.
Everywhere he was welcomed
with respect by the Germans.
he was accorded every courtesy
and, probably for the first time
il history, received the attention
that later commanders have be- !
slowed upon the men who write
he history of the wars through
ne columns of daily papers.
His last campaign was in {
Africa, whittier he followed Sir !
sarnet Wolseley in his pursuit !
i Cetewayo. In his later years ! !

ever had known in his vigorous )

That Horrid Letter

InaL HOrr1d Letter
Bernstein had no fright to Civ
out Judge Halls letter, - ex
claims, with emphasis, a Hal
supporter. Continuing, the dis
tressed partisan says: 1T was
private letter. Bernstein wal
Halls campaign manager, ane
the letter should have beer
treated as a secret as between
the campaign manager and The
candidate. +"
This expression, on the part OF
an ardent supporter of the Goo
Goo candidate, clearly destroys
their oft-repeated assertion that
the Bernstein letter would not
hurt Halls candidacy.
1t shows that, while they can
not excuse the Hall letter, ask
ing for the support of the game
wardens and registrars in his
race for the Supreme Judgeship,
they have to resort to the fimsy
plea that Bernstein, his campaign
in the Judgeship race,
should not have exposed his (the
Immaculate Judge's) letter in
this fight.
They can not deny that Judge
Hall sought, and obtained, the
support of the very system that
ne is now opposing and that but

itself manifest, like a ghost of
Disappointment, to the Hall

Did we say ghost?
Well, in sense, it is a ghost,
because they expected Michel to
pull down long ago.
They just hoped he would pull
down, and worked themselves up
to the belief that he would.
Have you ever heard of a fell
low telling lie so often that he
gets to a point that he himself be-
ieves it?
But now, with our friends of
the Good Government League,
the thing has changed form and
shape from a ghost of the past to
a Jack-o-Lantern Of the present.
They are pursuing a hope that,
is a myth.
They will walk and walk in the
faint hope of seeing the alluring
object that their eyes, prompted
by the heart, see in the distance.
That will not happen this
