"The Parish Printing" Once'
More.
In our last issue, the SENTINEL
commented on the attack made by
the Comet upon the Police Jury be.
cause of its action in electing the
proprietor of the aSNTINEL parish
printer. It endeavored to show, and)
blieves it did show, that the Police
Jury had acted strictly within and
according to the law in the matter, i
add to give force to its argument
quoted the law governing that body.
The Comet admits the law but
says that inasmuch as it as not a
crimiunal statute it is not to be con
strued strictly, and therefore, the
police jury may observe it or not,
Zs 4 t see pror. The law is
'mod vbte eime.. bq
true that there is no penalty provided
for its violation, there is a moral ob
ligation to observe it and we cannot
ssbscibe to the Comet's c-de of
ethics by which it seeks to justify its
nonobservance.
If the "editor and proprietor" of
the Comet would "brush up against
legal lights" a little more, he might
modify his ethics to the extent of
recognizing the duty of observing the
law, even where these is no penalty
provided fo- its violation.
After making its new point on the
law, the Conet devotes two columns
of its space to criticizing the SENTIN
EL, its proprietor, the distrie t judge,
and other people unnamed and on.
described, and indulges in innuendoes
and little flings of attempted sarcasm.
New, the issue was between the
SENTINEL and the Comet, and why it
should bring the district judge in the
controversy, in violation of all rules
A professional ethics, is inexplicable
except on the theory that the Cornet
lesired to vent its spleen upon that
hstinguish-"d individual for some
ilmasaniry wrong. The Comet seeks
to justify its attack upon him on the
ground that it is "morally certain"
that he is the author of the article in
the SENTINEL. We might be "moral.
ly certain" that the article in the
Cornet was prepared by another than
its editor and proprietor, and still we
would have no right to charge any
)ne with its authorship, much less to
attack any one, when the Cormet has
made it its own and assumed all res
jionsibility for it hi publishing it
editorially, just as the article in the
$Sw it rule of journalistic ethics.
The article of the SENTINErL was its
own utterance for which it is respon
sible; under the rules of correct
journalism criticism of it should have
been limited to it. There are some
people however who either have never
learned these rules, or else think it
"smart" to violate them by dragging
into the controversy irrelevant issues.
The Comet seems particularly hurt
by this passage in the ssNTIxeL's
article which followed the statement
of the Conme's threat against the
Democratic party:
"We regret that the Comet has
made this statement, because we had
been pleased all these years to look
upon its democracy as genuine and
disinterested. ant not only purse
deep."
The conet seems, judging from its
comments, to have misapprehen'led
the clear .mport of this passage: it
does not say and it does not mean
that for any one "to seek a share of
the official patronage it is Democracy
that is only purse deer;" but it does
mean that, if any Democrat does quit
the Democratic party, or turn against
it, because he does not receive public
patronage at the hands of a Demo
cratic body, it proves his Democracy
to be only purse deep. That is all
there is to it.
The comet had to have, in thie eon
nection, its little fling at the Demo
cracy of the gentleman it has seen fit
to drag int, this controversy. It
says:
"If the author of the article In the
Sentinel would just come from nehind
the shield called the "proprietor" of
the Sentinel we would not he surpris
ed toses that he is the holder of a
fat vinci'. The question then natural
ly arises "is his Democracy only of
Ice-deep 7"'
Arguing from the Cgnnet'a assump
tion the question does aol aaturitllp
arise, for the gentleman referred to
with a sneer by the 'ornset has never
threatened to break with his party, if
he is not riven an office, and those
who, whether Democrats in Itepubla
cala, know 'uime well, believe that he
will never come to thst pass, and
there will never be occasion- to char
acterize his Dewocraiy as only "officee
deep." T'his testimony we believe
ev~en his enemies, if he has any, will'
bear him.
Further than this the distinguished
Democrat attscked iby the Comet
needs no defense at our hauls.
The Comnet is pleased to ascribe
our detense of the police jury from
its unwarranteil attack to the ignoble
motive o! fear that the jury might
recomisider its action and divide the
patronage again. We can only say,
"*Ilonni soit qui mal y pense." We
acted from no such motive; we'
thought the jury had been wrongly
attacked, and we said so, and tricd to
defend it. But, of course, some ['eo
ple cannot alppreciate disinterested
motives, some cannot even conceive
of tteir existence.
The Comet persists in charging the
police jury with giving the SENTINEL
a bonus of $25 per month. The police
jury has done no such thing. It has
elected the SENTINEL parish printer.
and will pay it just what the law al
lows for its labor performed. Just
compensation for labor performed is
nut a bonus; to so qualify it is a
solecism attributable to either loose
ness of e'l)resaion, Ignorance of the
language, or a sinister purpose
The 1 r.>prietor of the SENTINEL can
stand the gmnet's sneers about his
Democracy; he has done what he
could for his party since the age of
majority; the SENTINEL since he ac
quired it has continued to uphold the
cause of Democraqy as it had dose in
"fae peast 1., .. a iº
He is not ashamed of his record,
nor is he ready to change In a pet his
politics or that of his paper.
The Comet indulges in puerilities
in appealing to a higher law, and
pleads for equity. There is no higher
law involved in this controversy, and
as for equity '-a little more brushing
against legal lights" wonud have
taught the "editor and proprietor" of
the Comet that he who seeks equity
must come into court with clean
hands. Hle is now loud in his dentin
ciation of caucuses and of the police
jury, because he was not consulted
about the election of a parish printer;
was he so kind and brotherly towards
the proprietor of the SENTINEL. to
apprise him of his intention to take
nway from him last year one half of
the parish printing ? Did he see to it
that the police jury call him and con.
suit him shout the change ? And
since he is so '"-ituck" on the dividing
plan, which he new advocates as wo
just and fair. did Ii", when lie secured
one heilf of the palish printing, carry
out his principle of justice sad fair
ness into practice, and divide the
town printing with the SENr:IEi. 1

Thibodaux 6, Baton Rouge 4.
Friday last, the B-iton Rouge ag.
gre-gation with five fresh viciornes
dtisging at their tblts, met defeat at
thI, hands of the locals.
The Cotton States League's second
best, again proved their ti.le to that
honor, when they met the boys, for
they left the field with the score stand.
ing 6 to 4 against them. Bob Pen
tier's Pets, try as they would, could
not connect with Pierce's benders at
apportune times, and this accounts
for their defeat, for with the excep.
tion of a few errors, they played the
game.
The locals accorded Pierce fine sup
port, and he in turn twirled at his
best, striking out six men, and allow
ing his hard hitting apponents eight
hits. Blincos, his riual, pitched flue
hall, yet only three of the locals fan
ned the breeze, whilst eleven hite
were recorded against him.
All in all, the game was the most
interesting well lplayed game of the
season.
The umpiring of Harley of Baton
Riouge, was complimented on all side-a,
Its fairness, and general excellence.
The score and sumanary are as f.,l.

Celebration By Co4osId Citi
zens.
Owing to the unsettled conditiot>
of the weather, the celebration of
Abraham Lincoln's one hundred days'
Proclamation of Freedom, was held
within the A. M1. K Church, on Mon.
day the 22nd inst, instead of outdoors
as expected.
Our colored citizens enjoyed an in.
teresting and pleasant entertalnmiut,
judging from the following account
of the proceedings furnished us by
one of these present :
The musical selections were in the
bandy of Dr. G. C. Bryent, who was
supported by the excellent Choir of
Allen Chapel, of which he is leader.
. The songs were appropriate sad in.
spiting~, and coslribmed the full
mneawlire of beebls
pleasure and enjoyment of the oeea
sion.
Interesting and instructive address-.
es were delivered, eulogistic of the
late President Lincoln; on the most
successful methods of advanchag, as d
prom ting the moral and intellectual
progress of the eman':ipate4i people
of the United States; and on the
measure of gratitude to God which
should be constantly uppermost in
the' mind of the emancipated race.
Forceful arguments were presented
along the line of earlh of the above
topics, by Prof. Mlathew Diekerson,
lier. Eugene Bapstiste; M~r. 1$urh
Dunn; and Rev. F. A. Rylander of
New Orleans, who was orator of the
Dayv.
Mr. Rylander, as well as the others,
were fr.qneqntly applaudled in a most
Renert.us manner, expressive of the
appreciation of some of the witty, as
well as luractical utterances expressed
by them.
After contributing quite liberally
to a collection to assist in defraying
expenses; singing :Ile Doxology sad

Speaking of the l)einswratio ne'mie

Well, he has been nominated, and
