DEATH OF GENERAL THOMAS J. sHAFFER.

General Thomas J. Shaffer, commander
in chief of the Louisiana Division, United
Confederate Veterans, died at $50 O'Clock
last Saturday night in the st. Mary SAM
tarium at Franklin, St. Mary Parish, after
an illness Of some duration.
General Shaffer was born in Terrebonne
Parish seventy-one years ago. Early IN
1861 he enlisted in company which be-
came part of Lieutenant Colonel Charles
Dreux's First Louisiana Battalion of In
fantry. While serving in the Army OF
Northern Virginia he was elected lieuten-
ant of company organized in Terrebonne
Parish, of which his brother, John d.
Shaffer. was captain, which became part
of the Twenty sixth Louisiana Regiment,
participating in all the engagements of this
regiments until its surrender at Vicksburg.
When bis regiment was exchanged Lieuten-
ant Shaffer was assigned to service in the
Western District of Louisiana, gallantly
discharging his duty until the close of the
war.
In 1853 General Shaffer purchased a
sugar plantation in St. Mary Parish, on
which he resided until about a year ago,
when he removed to Terrebonne. He was
active in the great fight in 1876 which re-
suited in the election of gallant Francis T.
Nichols as Governor and the redemption
of Louisiana from carpet bag and SCALA
wag misrule. General Shaffer was loyal
to the Democratic party, adhering stead
fastIy to his political faith until his death
More than five years ago General Shaffer
was elected Major General of the Louisiana
Division, United Confederate Veterans,
and has been elected to that position at
every subsequent reunion, and in his death
the Confederate veterans of Louisiana suf-
fer grevious loss.
Great in heart, wholesome and hopeful in
disposition, loyal and true in his personal
friendships and in the larger claims of his
State; brave soldier, good citizen, honest
man, Thomas j. Shaffer so lived as to de-
serve and receive the respect of all people.
He was in active and useful employment
up to the last, and in dying receives a
tribute as sincere as it is universal.

Shreveport Times: Looking back to the
days of the saloon here in Shreveport, its
most ardent partisan must admit that it
drove itself out of business. Itundertook to
control elections in its sown selfish and some
times laWless interests. When it could not
corrupt public officials, it attempted to
browbeat and intimidate them. 1t actually
succeeded in making the chief issue in more
than one election the question whether or
not it should be permitted to violate the
law. When gained the upper hand it did
not hesitate to visit punishment upon those
who had compelled it to observe the law
Itsought openly and flagrantly to influence
the city council and to control the police
power, and finally it sealed its own doom.
From whatever angel one may regard the
liquor problem, there is not the least doubt
that in many communities the saloon as an
institution is nearly always active in poll
tics and that in these activities it has in
variably proved it's own worst enemy.
