STATE AID TO pARocH1AL FAIRS.

The general assembly is asked to
extend a small quota Of financial
aid on behalf OF the state to the
parish and district fairs that are
to be given in various parts of Lou
lsiana during the next two years, and
we venture to say there will be lit
tie dissent from the proposition that
the expenditure of few thousands
OF dollars of the public money in
this way is morally certain to prove
a profitable investment.
1t is proposed that an appropriation
Of $3.50 be made annually to each
parish holding a fair or belonging to
fair association that conducts such
an exposition of the products and
resources OF district or group of
parishes, and it is to be hoped the
members of the general assembly
can be prevailed upon to allot this
modest sum for the purpose of help
ing and encouraging the fair move
ment in this state
The State Association of Parish
Fairs is understood to be taking
an active interest in bringing this
Important matter to the attention
or the general assembly, and the peo-
pie OF the interested parishes ought
to bestir themselves in like manner.
The Chief commends the project
to the favorable consideration of the
senators and representatives from
the parishes represented in our own
South Louisiana Fair Association,
which IS to hold its second annual
fair at Donaldsonvilla on the 9th,
10th, 18th and 18th of October next.

THE BANK EXAMINER MIx-UP.

The promptness with which Dis
trict Judge Brunot of East Baton
Rouge reached the conclusion that
former State Bank Examiner Young
could not enjosn or mandamus the
governor of the state from interfer-
ing with him in the possession of
the rights and emoluments of an of
flee from which the governor had
ordered his removal, encouraged the
expectation that a correlative line
of reasoning or deduction would
lead the judge to decide against the
ousted examiners new proceeding
by which he sought to compel the
state auditor to issue and the state
treasurer to pay to plaintiff the
salary warrants of the examiner Of
state banks.
This expectation was disappointed,
however, and Judge Brunot succeed
ed IN finding a material distinction
between the legality of Mr.. Young's
first. and second suit. The decision
Of the district jurist goes to the
full limit in unfolding the preten-
sions of the plaintiff in the later pro
ceeding, declaring that Mr. Young is
entitled to receive the emoIuments
in dispute, and that he is the holder
of a constitutional office from which
he can only be removed by the inn
parchment process prescribed in the
constitution.
An appeal to the supreme court Of
the state has been taken in the case,
and until this is decided Louisiana
will probably. revel, more or less, in
the luxury of two bank examiners.
The doubtful utility of such a pos
session will be apt to foster the gen
eral hope that the appellate tribunal
will make an early disposition of the
controversy. We didn't get along
very well with one examiner, and
two will be too utterly too many.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND
THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The general assembly of LOUISIANA
convened in regular biennial session
at Baton Rouge last. Monday, with all
but a half-dozen members in attend
ance after the five who had Deen
elected to fill vacancies had GUAM
fled and taken their seats. Lieut.
Gov. Thos. c. Barrett OF Caddo pre-
sided In the senate, and Speaker L.
E. Thomas of the same parish occu-
pied the chair in the house or repre-
sentatiVes.
Governor Luther u. Halls biennial
message, presented in both houses
on the opening day, is business
like document of medium length
which reviews the states affairs and
recommends needful legislation III
clear and compact fashion.
The refunding of the states
bonded debt and the general I'M
provement Of the schools and other
public institutions called for APPROX
ing comment by the governor, ana
his forecast of the commonwealth
future is permeated with a spirit
of inspiring optimism.
The prospects for a harmonious
and beneficial session of the gen
eral assembly are regarded as ex-
ceedingly good, and the apparent dis
position among the more steady and
Influential elements of the BODY TO
enact as few new avs, and to con-
fine the proceedings and discussions
to really serious aud needful mea-
sures as far as possible, will be re-
garded by the people with satisfac-
ton and approval.
Some apprehension is felt that the
movement to amend the antl-Detung
law so as to permit the revival OF
horse-racing in New Orleans under
certain restrictions, and resolutions
| that have been introduced calling
for investigation of the state debt
settlement, the Tensas land case and
the expenditures of the various leVee
| boards, will give rise to storm OF
partisan contention and personal
| pickering, but a determined effort
| will be made to prevent such an I'M
profitable denouement. 1t is con-
| fidently predicted that the proposed
state debt and Tensas land inVestl5a-
tons will be deeisiYely defeated, on
the ground that the facts of both
| transactions are well-knoWn and
| there is nothing to be gained by
| wasting time and money in going
over them again.
Both branches of the general as
sembly adjourned from Thursday
morning to next Monday evening,
when the resolution providing for
the levee boards probe will come up
| in the house of representatives.

A Progressive Home institution.

Exhibiting a degree of enterprise
and public spirit that should com
mend the concern to the further
kind regard of its patrons and the
general public, the management of
the Famous Blue Store in Mississippi
street has had the building screened
from top to bottom, and the adop-
ton of this modern sanitary measure
IS a step that deserves the highest
commentator and approval. The
business of this establishment, for
many years successfully conducted by
Hon. Charles Maurin, has recently
passed into the control of corpora
ton known as the Home Mercantile
Co., Ltd, composed principally of Mr..
Maurin and his manly son, Charles,
Jr., and it may be taken for granted
that under the new regime the store
Will be conducted according to the
same high standards of excellence
of service and quality of goods that
contributed so largely to the success
OF the business under its former
management. The Chief welcomes
the Home Mercantile Co. into the
commercial life of the community,
congratulates it upon it's progressive
ness and enterprise as demonstrated
IN the screening of its establish
ment, and wishes it a Well-merited
modicum of success.
