The idea of a Judge of the Supreme Court de scending to the level of a political heeler is revolting. If McEenery wants to be Governor lot him come down and resign his position as Judge, but don't trammel the Judi cial ermine.--The Ranger. McEnery in accepting the nomi nation of the lottery gamblers and boodlers who have desecrated the honored name of Democracy, writes himself down as a model political peckeniff. He declares his opposi tion. to the scheme of the Lotteryites to make the State a partner of their gambling monopoly, and still takes their aomination.-Jackson (Mim.) Ledger. General John McGrath of the Baton Rouge Truth says it is now in order for the old Feliciana war horse of Democracy, at one time Governor of Louisiana and now a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, to explain to the people of the South his position during the trying days of 1861-65. Where was he ? Did he or did he not turn his back on the people who had so highly hon ored him in better days? We have received the first mun ber of the Lake Side Review, a new paper just put out for Comeron p8r ish. It is printed at Letts, Iowa by the publishers C. T. & N. L. Miller who expect, if everything is favora ble to be down here by Feb. 1. With the Reporter, Herald and Review the Lake Arthur section will have a full quote of newspapers. We X with plessure and hope the Review may find its r ather forbidding fu ture pt-fitable. Archbishop Janssens In a recent interview with a reporter of the New Delta said: "I! unqualifiedly indorse every word and sentiment contained in Cardinal Gibboos' letter." "Do you wish to add anything 1 further?" "What more is there to say? fI lottery is pernicious; it hue beet. an is the cause of a great deal of suf fering and perhaps of crime. It ought to be abolished. My position however, on this question has been known to the Catholic clergy for a long time. I do not believe there is a bishop or Catholic clergyman in the United States but thinks the same way." "Do you not consider the letter of the cnrdinal to be quite comprehen sive ' "It certainly is. It covers all that can be said on the question, and it is strong enough and plain enough to be easily understood by all." The vicar genital, Very Rev. J. Borgeerts, who was present at the interview, heartily . indorsed every word uttered by the archbishop. He, too, had read the letter of the cardinal, and was pleased with its tone. "There is no uncertain sound there," he said. "Let the work go on." I The Republican State Convetion met in New Orleans on Monday and Tuesday and put out the following ticket: For Governor -A. H. Leonard, of Caddo. Lieutenant Governor-H. Dndly Coleman, of Orleans. Secretary of State-T. Volsin, of St. John. Treasurer-C. B. Darrali, of St. Mary. Auditor-Chas A. Fontelien, of Iberia.

Four delegates to the national convention for the state at large were then selected. The first name proposed to head the delegation being that of ex-Gov. W. P. Kel. iogg, who was unanimously elected. The list was then completed by elect ing Mas. Andrew' Hero, J. M. Vance and R. T. Guichard. The state Treasurer is paying all general fmnd warrants of 1891. A State that can this pay its obliga tions does not seem to be very badly in need of help from a gambling " monopoly. Our State is in a better I financial fix than it has been at any time since the the wer, and if it is not hampered by the lottery it bids l fair in less than twenty-five years to become one among the wealthiest and most progressive Stptes is the " Union.--The Capital Item. The newly elected board of direc tors of the Abbeville Building and Loan Association met last Wednes. day and elected the following oi cers to serve this year: G. Godchaux, President Lastie Broussard, Vice President. L. Odellon Broussard, Secretary. 0. Bourque, Treasurer. Lastie Broussard, Attorney. W. B. White, Notary. Morris will no doubt pay the ex penses of two campaigns. It will pay the cash for the Republican ticket through choice, and will settle for the outlay of mugwump Republicans because of the trade.
