The Progress believes that it can now, fairly, say to its friend, Hlion. Ben Hiolzman, "I told you so." The mnorning after the Board of Underwriters, of this city,had pre Iitlri 4Pflted-t ti e' '1f . .(. i1!y t`' t11;; City CoaauLil its remarkable connllanlld; for sufierance called a petition; in whic i it was lraP'tie ally l eminandpd that the tire de-i partmenhºt ). .. mnanagc et of th 1 t1 1th1ir comnpaiics !i ns. stored the three-qucj r c increas -d the rate ee our jElpic·y LL/ L) fu illied on ( iu- ready.1 ive The following (exn i e' rm:: )n- t;le Insurance Departimiunt of th - i im New Grleans States, andr seems to ., vill be the simperings of an upstart e .nd who was here as adjuster of the cer losses caused by our last big ire: i "The condition of affairs at n Shrevedort, La., is attracting the attention of fire underwriters. It n we will be remembered that not long ago, in response to the reque4t oft Shreveport local agents the three- C] st; quarter loss clause on risks in that B od town was abolished. Whether ai that has had anything to do with z the late loss it is impossible to ;ill say, but certain it is, that losses ts. in this year of 1598 have been dis- tc astrous." h. ne If the author of that statement al )st was half as manly as he is con- gi v- tempribie; he wonid have signed ec a- his name to it: and if he had one- R on fifth as much fairness as he has is impudence, he would admit that g( part of his twaddle is but a pretext, d( for his advocacy of an increased1 w rate, and the restoration of the vc three-quarter clause. cc ro \\ill Shreveport submit to iur- w. a- ther injustice? l ALL FOR TUNNA iD. he Press of Louisiana is mina- oft ol king an excellent campaign for oN General Will H. cTunnarci, the As- fo sociation's president, for secretary A; of the Railroad C-. : _i.-::. Pc ie The newspapers have presented th d, the name of General Tunu' ard to kr th the three Commissioners for the of ,n position because he is the proper st] man for it. A2ide from the fact ha 1,, that he has an invalid wife who pa w requires a constant attendant be 1- cause she is alto nearly or quite mi blind; and the further fact that he ts is out of a situation, and needs the T, .o place; he is a man of of ability: an n honest, conscientious, and a devo- mr tee to any business pursuit he is engaged in. He has a natural tal- 15t " ent for such work as this Secreta S ryship would impose. He is sys- I d tematic and thoroughly painsta- Te Y king, he could fill the position mc el with rare exactness. And his set e standing in the State; with the Wi s Press and the Confederate Vete- yoi rans, with their power, prestige, I political, social and moral stand " ing; would add to the force and cis1 effectiveness of the Commission. 0 Being a new thing, thAt Body, in we, all probability, will have a rough ran and rugged road to travel, in its losi early life, and it would be a pow- j, erful ally to have in the person of of its Secretary, the President of the Joe Louisiana Press Association. yea Has any man-or woman-ever Qrnl experienced here, such weather in November, as we have just passed the through wyith? Let "the oldest in- prol habitant" speak out! of a As long as newspapers will in can dulge in the false sentiment, dan o. gerous sentiment in favor of I such men as Frank Mullins, just 1 of so long will the arm of the assas ,re- sin he emboldered to strike down i less oicers as John Sisemnore ble I rank Mullins, who had openly d a detied the law, public opinion and -muorals, war: killed by Marshal , Sisemor .

But misdi- i rected-it is capable of causing It much harm. r ~I, 19' ---- of It is to be hoped that the Demo- v e- crats will again select Hon. Joseph at B. Bailey. the briliant young Tex- I er an, to.lead hem, at the reorgani to zation of the House, next year es Mr. Bailey has proven himself re s- tobea leader of rare skill. He tl has great tact, is cool' collected at and a read debater. Even that st 1- great statesman, Charles F. Crisp, d could not net hold down Tom - Reed, any better than Bailey has I ty es THE PROGRESS notes that some tt Igoodz Democratic newspapers t, declare Mr. Bailey to be a feather d weight. But as he is a stanch sil te ver man; and they, without ex ception, are stubborn gold-buge ; 1- we think the reason, patent. The Police Jury and citizens are wrestling with the saloon men and t- other citizens, in Lafayctte parish, ,r over thle raise made by the Jury, - for selling liquor in that province. y As Lafayette Gazette is with the Police Jury, THE PROGRESS must d think that body is right. We ;o know Mr. Homer Mouton, editor i e of Lafayette Gazette, and he is r straight and sound. His paper t has only the best interests of that o parish at heart. It has now been agreed to sub e mit the matter to the people. e The license was fixed at $1,000. e The saloon men think $200 enough; and that difference will be the . - matter of contest. s The efection will be held on the - 15th instant: - Rev. John C. Sligh preached at Ti - Texas Avenue church laat Sunday 1 morning and evening, in the ab s sence of the pastor, Rev. Barnette a Wright. Mr. Sligh is a talented young preacher. The Baldwin hotel, of San Fran cisco, balifornia, valued at $2,500 000, was recently burned. There were only $100,000 worth of insu rance on it. Several lives were lost. Julius Parker, who was accused of murdering District Attorney Joe Reid in Franklin parish last year, was recently tried'and ac quitted. Sj It is diffcult to convict-when the accused is, or supposed to be protected by an organized band of assassins.
