| Last night, about y o'clock, one Of the
most outrageous and dastardly murders was
perpetrated that has for some time been regis

There is man by the name of Martin
Walsh, who is fifty years old, and has fol-
eight years been the private Waterman of the
Red Stores and Bazaar Market. on the levee,
head Of Dumaine street.
1t appears that for the last two weeks
several attempts have been made to rob the
Red Store, but Mr.. Walsh drove the thieves
away by shooting after them, and therefore it
was supposed that

had been foiled in their attempts to rob the
stores by Mr.. Walsh. The partner or fellow
Waterman of Walsh who was on Dumaine
street, heard the shot, and upon running up
to the Red Store, found

Curiosities OF Newspaper Advertising.

Isaac Bickerstatf was the well-known pseu-

| advertisement of a foot-race inserted by an en-
terprising young woman. in the London D0Hy

This is to give notice that there is Young

CASTELAR, on the Future of Spain.

CASTELAR, has been interviewed by correspond
ent of the London Ne,rS. Says the writer
asked Senior CASTELAR, if he were free to speak of
the probabilities Of the future. The future, y
said he, :" is chaos. The political situation is de-
porabe-as bad az it can be. Ca1lism is impos-
sible, that is one certain consolation. Alphons-
ism Is tres dHcle.' Its very essence i. reac-
ton. 1t is standing menace to every movement
toward liberty 1t menaces alike religious llber-
ty civil fire edom, and public instruction. 1t
blocks every wheel Of progress.
Alphonslsm means the dominance of priest
craft, the perpetuation Of superstition the wllrul
maintenance of ignorance, the suppression Of the
liberty OF the press, freedom of thought, Of in
struction, and of culture IN our academies and
universities, general darkness over the face
OF all he land. 1t may last for time, but the
same elements that overthrow the dynasty be-
fore must in vitality operate toward and cu!min-
ate in the ultimate uphe tval. In the meantime
all that | can sadly discern is that the political
situation is epoHrahdable.' There is no uncer-
tainty in the utterances Of Castelar, as there Ger
tainly was no bitterness of personal feeling. He
has no 0rrtere peaSee as to himself; his sorrow
ing and solictude are for Spain. | cannot give
expression to the emotion with which probably
for the last time shook the hand OF thIs true
patriot and homes man.

How Gaiibaldi Looks.

The Rome correspondent of the London Ners
writes: :" had the pleasure Of being the ii st
Englishman to shake hands with him on his
arrival in Italy. The General was in a plainly,
almost meanly, furnished room, supported on
two black crutches having Prince Odescalchi on
one side and on the other Major Pasquaottf,
who had formerly served under him His face is
as full OF refinement ever, and though it bears
the stamp OF time and suffering, 1t Is slngularly
winning from the beautiful smile on it.
His hair Is iron gray, but there are several
marks OF chestnut in his beard. His hands
looked terribly thin and it was evident that he
stood anything but firmly, even with the aid Of
his crutches He wore the small ca o orna mented
with lraid, and, underneath a short striped
white and black South American cloak without
sleeves, his red shirt. Apparently these We're
part OF his old famous uniform. He wore blue
military trousers. His boots were cut in several
places, probably on account Of his rheumat m
tie inquired of the Syndic as to the bathing sea-
son, mentioning that salt water did him no good
Altogether there was look of great feebleness
about him-b0dily | mean, not mental. This
was obvious to any one who heard his manly vet
beautifully soft voice, and saw the calm a. d be-
nl5nant smile that played over his features con-
tiuually."

There's Life in Him Yet.

Notwithstanding all the rulnors, it is well
settled opinion at the Custom-House that
knows the value OF his henchmen, and he will
not now, for the first time in his political
career, desert faithful tool where there is
further use for him.
He appreciates Packards value here, for
his pertinacity and stubbornness when others
were weak have taught Gram that he is an
industrious laborer. Kellogg, we believe,
would not be sorry to have the head Of the
Marshal drop into the basket, for beyond the
apparent utilization there is strong feeling of
envy and distrust between them.

Editor Of the New Orleans Bulletin

NEW ORLEANS, rep. IL, 1919.
Editor Of the New Orleans Bulletin
Dear demonstrating YOU the friend of the
conservative public allow me to call your atten
ton to the unjust discrimination of our City
Council last Tuesday, of the payment of city
back taxes. Those delinquents from 1860 to 1870
inclusive, payable, cost and interest included
all in scrip or warrants those Of 1871 the taxes
III scrip or warrants, costs and interest, half in
cash and half in scrip or warrants; these of 1878.
30 cents per hundred III cash ana balance s. 50
per hundred in scrip or warrants those Of 1874
are left in the cold. They must pay all in cash,
with costs and interest, and must be paid imme-
diately, without delay. If You fail your property
will be sliced by the sheriff and sold under the
hammer. Meanwhile, all the above mentioned
old de-inquents have time to settle until June
next.
Now, Mr.. Editor, those unfortunatcs of
1874 are mostly poor taxpayers who
never were in arrears before, who are
wiling but are unable to pay prompt
mentioned old delnquents, .they are mostly
wealthy. but unwilling to pay their taxes. The
favored ones are those who kept money i'll their
pockets for speculation. Look at the interest
that money was worth to them. From five to
fifteen years at ten per cent would make from
fifty cents to enc dollar and fifty on each dollar
Of the delinquent taxes up to date retained in
their pockets Besides this, they had other ad-
vana 81 8. for instance, low assessment. low taxa
ton ana good times to pav them in. 1t would be
unequal and unjust to the taxpayers Of 1874 if
they had the same privilege as the old delin-
qUents; but no, it Is the rich who are to be
favored, and the poor trampled upon and OPP
pressed, by the men We elected and put in their
offices, who seem to have forgotten that it was
the people who put them there.
The only exception to the above is our worthy

his oppressed fellow-ctizens when he, a few

POLITICAL On DIT.

lhe Conservatives yesterday, more thar
at any other time since the commencement O.
the caucus, appeared highly pleased at the
news received from Washington. Although
the pledge Of secrecy prevented them from
| communicating the nature Of the kilograms
received from Washington, yet by their action
, and the tenor of their conversation it was
plain something pleasant to hear had been
received.
The report that basis of compromise
which will be agreeable to the people has
been already drawn up in Washington, has
gained ground and wewould not be surprised
if, within the next twenty-four hours, we re-
ceive kilograms placing the proposition
before the caucus and the people. We are
satisfied that after the experience of the last
attempt to adjust, the members will act as a
unit on this, and if by the most indirect
reasoning the new proposition hints at any
recognition of Kellogg, or acquiescence in his
government it will be voted down.
That Bauditti Order.
We have now information which would
seem almost conclusive, tnat the late cam
paign Of Sheridan in his march against our
Legislature was not the result OF the circum-
stances Of the hour. but was planned and
mapped out in Washington by Williams.
In vain had the Enforcement acts, the ku-
klux law and kindred proscriptive enact
ments been scanned to discover some clause
by which the disorderly Conservatives
could be brought down to the proper posi-
ton according to Il ldcal ideas, and ii was
Williams who suggested that military order
denouncng them as banditti should be issued
and the opponets OF Radical rule placed under
the ban.
The oielgenouS Attorney General rubbed
his hands at tie brilliant thought, and ad-
vised Sheridan to ride it out on that line.
The Louisiana case has been thorn ia Viii
liamss side, AID ne thought the same course
of action which Phil pursued III Texas toward
the cattle thieves would suit his bitter haters
in Louisiana, and SO the baaditti order was
Matched.

The new measures that Grants supporters

Hints 10 Advertiser.


The following hints TO advertisers, given
by Wilmington paper, are worthy Of con-
sideration by all business men who aim to
advertise judiciously:
Some advertisers complain of the cost OF
advertising in az the papers. Wen, why are
you under any obligation to advertise In
them all? Do those Of your customers who
want to buy yard Of muslin or q pound OF
sugar OF you, feel Obliged to 60 and make q
similar purchase Of every other merchant In
town. fyou have any inducements to offer
people to trade with you IL is wise for you to
make the fact known TO the public, and as
wise and prudent business men you should do
this In the cheapest way. II you study the
matter you will find that the cheapest way
In which you can get any announcement
printed and circulated is in the advertisement
columns of a widely circulated newspaper
After that is settled arises the question as to
which newspaper will do ii the cheapest. To
decide this you must know two things, the
price and the circulation. III you find
newspaper with a circulation of 5, 900 charges
you $40 for a certain amount of space, and
one with 2, 800 charges You s., and one with
LOCO charges you 81, their prices are uniform
and other considerations should determine
your choice. If, however, those with smaller
circulation charge you nearly or quite as
much as those with larger calculations, then
the latter are far cheaper. With this In
mind IL is best TO get your advertising done
wherever ID is done cheaper.

The Ancient Mound builders.

In the concluding number of Kentucky
"Notes' by DR.. Toner in another column will
be found an interesting chapter upon the Gu
rious relics of a former semi-civiliZed race
that are so widely distributed throughout the
Mississippi valley, and tributary valleys,
from the great lakes TO the Gulf OF Mexico.
The conclusion is drawn fairly from these
evidences, he thinks, that the continent of
North America was formerly inhabited by
people much farther advanced in the arts
OF civilization than their successors, the red
men; that they lived In compact, fortified
settlements, and must therefore have en-
joyed some OF the conditions common to civ
ilized communities; but that this race had,
IN all probability, disappeared ages ere the
lsdiaDs came either from some other land, or
from the mountain Businesses of this coun-
try, and erected their wigwams within the
vast Notifications, and buried their dead
within view of the tumuli and in shadow Of
the places where ages before the Mound
Builder kept his sacred fires ever burning to
propitiate his heather gods"
