The Natchitoches Republican, in
speaking Of tho enjoining Of v. A.
Barron sheriff elect by his competi-
tor, intimates that such should moi
be allowed. We are ut a loss to un-
derstaud such statements. MFR. Hyams
who ran against Mr.. Barron certainly
has a right to contest the validity oil
bis claims in tho courts of the State
IT bs desires to do so, and We fall to
sec what the Republican has to do in
the matter.

strong evidence of our "bandit' pro-
clivities. Unfortunately for Sheridan
this evidence upon which he relies SO

him on oath; he says that 1--WE ran

is notorious that Myers neglected in !.
shameful and heartless manner his
aged parent, and that kind neigh

son Merer called to see him at all, du.
ring his long and last illness. Peter
Robinson, worthy colored man, tes-
titles on oath, that Myers employed
him as nurse to old Myers that lo
continued as such for more than four
months; that Henry G. Myers nerer
called to see his father during the rhole
time, and that often in his walks, the
sou passed tho house of his father
and did not eren stop to enquire Of his
health; and said Peter Robinson states,
that the father was fed, medicined
and nursed mostly at tho expense of

reasonable to suppose that the fact
Of his becoming a radical, in no way
injured his social standing, for to the
knowledge of the oldest iuhabitant
he never had any. His respect even
for the memory Of the author Of his

in which he uses it, simply to crafty

Politico- Economical Problems of the

At a meeting of the American S cial
Science Association in Detroit, last
week, Hon. David A. Wells was intro
dueed and delivered an address on the
general subject of social science, and
especially on the relations of capital
and labor, and of the mutual duties of
society and the laboriDg classes. He
started With the proposition that never
before to-day has man been able TO pro-
duce so much with a given amount of
power. To illustrate this he adduced
the fact that by the construction of the
Su6Z canal. the time OF a vessels pas
sage from England to Calcutta has been
reduced from 10 or 120 days 20 80
days. And this prepOnderance of mind
over matter Is becoming more notable,
every year showing new and valuable
additions TO the list of inventions. The
fields of science and art are still open
to the inventor, but with the advance
of science came necessarily a cheapen-
ing of the productions of labor. WHAT
was formerly a luxury comes to be q
necessity, and former extravaganza is
becoming frUgality. Where this cheap
eniDg process viii stop is an interesting
matter for speculation.
The speaker then examined the pro
gre ssive stage of society as regards the
possession of property. The poorer
classes are gradually but surely learn
ing the motto, every man for himself
and the devil take the hindmost,"
ard are Determined that the devil
of civilization shall not capture
them. II It does, they may, like
the Communists of Paris, draw down
the whole fabric OF society into
one common vortex o; destruction.
The wealthy perceive this spirit, and,
from this perception, coupled with the
Efforts and demands of the poorer enes,
schools, hospitals, churches, sanitary
and social reforms sprang. Autagon-
ism, however originated strikes, trades
unions and organizations of that class.
4 vagabOnd repays the society which
compels or assists him to his vagabond-
age by founding a linz Of pRupers, pros
titutes, lunatics and drunkards. Society
sees this, too, and meets the case by
all the means in her power. The idea
that the men who talk Of social science
ii Our day are hermits, full Of book
learning but devoid Of experience and
actual knowledge Of the evils they would
set right, Is Al mistake To show the
absuTdi V of this belief, the speaker ad-
duced statistics and statements to prove
