HOMICIDE AT PoINTE MAIGRE.-One
of those unfortunate difficulties, which
happily are of rare occurrence in
parish, occurred at. P0inte Malgre on
Thursday the 22dinst.; by which ayoung
man named Washington Bernard met
his death at the hands of one Celestin
COingon, Jr.
The affair was the result Of family
quarrels, andgreW out of certain remarks
of Bernard cOncerningC oingon's illtreat-
ment Of his wife.
This led tOa series of quarrels between
the two, and on the day in question,
Coineon armed himself with a double
barrelled shot gun, waylaid Bernard,
and shot him while he was in the act Of
dismounting from his horse, infiicting
wounds which proved fatal in twenty
four hours.
There seems to have been nc attempt
madetO arrest the assassin, who remain
eel in the vicinity until the death of his
victim, when he took his departure for
parts unknown,
Bernard was young married man who
was highly respected in the neighbor-
hood, and his nntimely death is depIored
by all.
Coine0n, on the other hand, bears a
veny indifferent character, having ON one
occasion been engaged in q stabbing af-
fair, and more recently his name has
been unpleasantly connected with one
or two horse stealing eases.
Tt is to be hoped that his arrest will
vet be accomplished, for it is not q very
hattering tribute tofhe strong arm of the
law in this parish, When such crime can
be committed with impunity.IMarks-

ARE POLITICS TO MAKE THE SOLE
INTEREST OF OUR PEOPLE2

in times like these, are the Aaron's rod
which swallows up all others. We stand
knee-deep in the slough of q political
campaign, allowing all other interests
to go to rack and ruin whilst we shout
"hurrah" for our favOrite candidate,
and, like wild beasts, tear and rend on
opponents. We have a kind of vague
idea that by putting the right mani the
right place, matters and things will adj
Just themselves according to our desire.
Chaos will be reduced to order, andif we
do not exactly arrived at a millennium, we
at least can afford to fold our hands and
let things slide into the smooth groove
prepared by our throat splitting during
tho campaign.
This is a fallacy, which, if not exactly
believed in, is acted upon as far as ne
| glecting all other business is concerned
Yet it is very certain that, no matter
who becomes President Of the United
| States, or Governor of Louisiana, no
matter who fill our public offices for the
coming year, the task of rebuilding our
lost prosperity is going to be a slow and
arduous labor.
No honor or honesty in office holders
4 release us from the greed and cor
ruption of the last dark years. The bit
ter SAVIOR Of the fruit which has been
pressed to our unwilling lips, will detile
our palate as thoroughly as if We had
chosen it of our own free will.
When the froth and scum of this seeth-
ing political chaldr0n somewhat sub
sides, the people of Louisiana will prob
ably awaken to d sense of their pressing
interests. Apart from her manufacto-
ries, which have increased wonderfully
within the last few years, Louisiana has
her work of development still before her
Through m~alfeasance, Indifference, o.
stupidity, or all three combined, we are
bare of railroads. Those iron veins
along which rushes the very life tide o.
progress and prosperity, are few and Ia
between, and without them we must re
main laggards in the race.
In agriculture, we have feWOf the new
mechanical labor saving improvements
In many of the States land is opened
crops planted, cultivated, gathered ant
stored, with less than a third OF the la
, Dor we bring to them, andcertainly mucl
less than a third Of the time we empl0,
on them.
The old glamor of the cotton and SUI
gar money is still upon us. Men canno
turn from the marvellous rapidity wit
which fortunes were made in the anti
! be1Ium times, to the slow accumulation
of thrift and plodding industry. Ye
it is very evident that not through til
great staples shall Louisiana regain he
s prosperity. Smaller industries will rul
the day, and as railroads gradually ope
9 the resources Of the country, men wi
e be surprised at the inexl4austible ele
ments of wealth which lie ~unemploye
: and unrecognized among us.
y No, the political campaign is not tn
: only battle which looms before us. ]
t we engage in the improvement OF tn
country with half the NERVE" we brin
> to bear upon that "dead sea fruit" pol
tics, our future is established on a stabl
: basis,

We are glad to find our old friend
Though not a saint he thinks that
Gov. Warmoth is not SO bad as his foes
have painted him. He goes even so
far as to say that the Governor "vetoed
some bad laws, which numbers Of our
own people had bribed the Legislature
to pass, in order to enrich themselves,
and ruin Us, and adds " If the Cover
nor will honestly aid our people in re-
deeming the State no II will more
readily forgive and forget his past
offences than / will.n This is well. 1t
