Mr.. Edenborn on European Diplomacy.
The Chronicle this week prints
a communication from Mr.. VIM.
Edenborn, setting forth at some
length utterances of English dip
lomats that he thinks shows the
intention of England to disregard
treaties whenever it suited her,
and attributing British jealousy
of German progress as the main
spring that caused her to take
part in the present war.
We are not statesman enough
to fully comprehend the sublety
and diplomatic intent and inter-
est of the nations engaged in this
great war, but we beg to decid-
edly differ with Mr.. Edenborn.
Notwithstanding the large
amount of pro-German literature
with which he has furnished US.
For Mr.. Edenborn's informa-
ton we will state that the Chron-
icie editor is not quite such a
spring chicken as he imagines.
When he cast his vote in 1863 for
Seymour and Blair this editor
was a big yearling boy nearly
nineteen years of age, and we
cast our first vote in the next sue
ceeding presidential election for
Horace Greedy. In those days we
had just finished our apprentice
ship as printers devil, and took
a keen interest in all news of
worldwide import, as became a
lusty intelligent youth aspiring
to become a journeyman printer. |
Suffice it to say. we have been in |
the printing business since 1866, |
and in all of the thousands of |
newspapers we have read, we !
have managed to keep moderate
lywell posted about public events. |
And, while we have read both
sides of the question as to the
European imbroglio. we have
been forced to the conclusion that
the German Emperor is to blame
for precipitating the war.
This opinion is almost UNIVERSAL
in the United States. The Amer
lean people as whole are fair
and unbiased in their judgment.
and their means of information
are probably quite as reliable and
extensive as that enjoyed by Mr..

Senator Broussard's Political Apostacy,
The New Orleans States and q
number of other Louisiana news
papers have been discussing the
detection of Senator-elect Brous-
sard. in failing to help in the
campaign in the Third Congress
sional District in which H. L..
Gueydan, Democrat, was lately
defeated by Judge Martin, al
legged Progressive. Thus, for
the first time in a quarter of a
century, one of the eight Rep
resentatives to Congress from
Louisiana is not a Democrat.
The refusal of Mr.. Broussard
to give his approval and endorse
ment to Mr.. Gueydan was un-
doubtedly largely responsible for
his defeat, because Mr.. Brous-
sard's endorsement and approval
has for years been tantamount
to an election in that district.
The question being up as to how
the mistake of the Democratic
party in electing Mr.. Broussard
to the Senate can be remedied.
the States suggests that the
amendment for the recall -
adopted Nov. 8, can be put into
effect in his case. The amend
ment provides that the people
have the right to apply the recall
to any officer, excepting only
Judges of courts of record, after
he has been in Office for one
year. The suggestion lisa good
one, and we believe will be
heartily endorsed by the Demo-
Gratis of Louisiana almost as a |
unit.
