NEW ORLEANS LETTER

The Rush for Political Jobs-Pfospect forReform-Local Amusements

Doing Well.

New Orleans, La., April 80, 1908.Special Correspondence of The Chief.

The aftermath of the state electionis now with us, and there is even morethan the usual scramble for jobs, stateand municipal, among those friendsof the gang who helped to roll up thecity's big majority against the taxcollector amendment. One hundredand ninety of the live Democratic voters presented themselves for the civilservice examination for policemenlast week, a greater number than wasever before known. Just how far thebosses- will be able to satisfy this longstring of applicants is a matter thatthey are more familiar with than anyone else, but it may safely be saidthat not a few of them will be on thedisappointed office seekers' bench bythe time the next city election rollsaround, and a number of disgruntled"regulars" will be ready to cast theirstrength with any reform movementthat may crop up. -

Among the seekers for some of thespoils of the victory will be found agreat many of that type which, al-though realizing the dire need of twopolitical parties and admitting the su-perior merits of the Republican candi-dates and platform, listened to thealluring promises of- patronage of-fered by the gang and succumbed tothe blandishments of the bosses.When some of these awaken to thefact that they are strictly in the classwith those of whom it is said that anangel wouldn't care to follow; whenthey realize that they have barteredtheir birthright for a mess of patronage which can't be delivered, therewill be gnashing of teeth inGomorroh. Such dearly bought victories as the last election alwaysbring their just retribution. Cam-paign promises often prove a boom-erang to foil the victors just when theythink they are securely - entrenched.The feeling of righteous indignationshared by all the independent voterstowards the recent actions of the gangis another aid to early reform incity affairs and it would not seem sosurprising if the bosses were whippedout of their strongholds this fall. TheRepublicans are working together forbetter organization to the and thatthis result may be accomplished and adetermined fight will be made. It willtake a great many rdore defeats toback down the party which stands foras high a standard of government asdoes the present organization, and itsinfluence for good will be strong, nomatter whether it is beaten or not.Many of its measures are now beingtaken up by the Democrats for earlyenactment, proving that the-campaignhas been productive of results, andthe Republican party will continue toprove an annoying factor to thosewho attempt to prostitute the politicalfields of the state to their own uses.

The annual festival at the City Parkwas held last Sunday and was at-tended during the day by over 8000persons. Many, interesting featureswere given, among them being militarycontests and a sham battle by themilitia of the city, under the commandof Brig. Gen. W. D. Gardiner. Theaopearance made by the state troopswas very creditable and their maneu-vers were among the most interestingportions of the day's pleasures.

The Orpheum theatre will close itsdoors next Sunday upon a very suc-cesssful season, being the last of theplayhouses to close for the summer.The White City Opera Company hasbegun its season very auspiciously atthat popular resort and the outlook isfavorable for a good run of patron-age. Several of the theatres are pre-seining moving picture shows supple-mented with vaudeville, and these arealso proving very popular.

A8 usual, however, interest, is cen-tered in the great national game.The Pelicans have not done as. well sofar as had been hoped for by the ma-jority of the fans, but they are gettingworked into shape now and will un-doubtedly prove pennant winners ifthe support of the baseball lovingpublic of the city counts for anything.The new park is well constructed, withample seating capacity for the largecrowds which attend, and the manage-ment should find the venture highlyprofitable. Besides 'the big leaguethere are also the semi-professionalleagues and the hundreds of inde-pendent amateur teams composed ofplayers of. all sorts from four to fortyyears old who will fill every vacantSouthport to Chalmette. Panics evi-dently have little effect upon this pop-ular sport.

The picnic season is now on, andnearly every Sunday during the restof the summer will be usurped by thedifferent social organizations for theirtmerrymaking. With all these differ-ent pastimes in full away, workinggirls' voting contests. holding highcourt, the Letten trial, a fire now andthen, and the barrooms open sevendays a week, what more could theweary mind desire?
