A MINIATURE civil war is In full blast
in Louisiana, between the whites and
negroes. A regular engagement occur
red at Laurel Hill, West Feliciana Par
ish, last Friday. Numbers of negroes
and few whites were killed. The whole
region is said to be ablaze with excite
ment. The colored people are arming
in self-defense, and all the whites are
armed and in the saddle. 1t would
seem from the dispatches that both par
ties claim to act in self defense. The
Sheriff of East Feliciana telegraphel
Acting Governor Antoine, Tuesday,
that seventeen colored men were killed
and many wounded; that large force
of armed white men were approaching
the town that he found it impossible
to summon and secure a posse cOi7,ttat1ts
to maintain civil authority, and request
ing military aid. These dispatches were
laid before Gen. Augur, and by him re-
ferred to Washington. The Govern
ment should act promptly and effective
". A war of the races would be q
bloody one.

SUPPOSE that Congress should enact
that no mail matter should he trans
mitted through the mails without pre-
payment and then neglect or refuse to
furnish the people with postage stamps.
1t would be no greater piece of stupidity
than to say that the people shall have
nothing but silver coin for small change
and then neglect or refuse to furnish the
coin sufficient amounts. The Treasury
is not authorized to disburse silver, save
in exchange for fractional currency; as
rapidly as the silver is disbursed it dis
appears-is hoarded,-nor will it get
into circulation again until the people
are satisfied that if they let it 60 they
can get more to replace it whenever they
please. Neither the silver coin nor frac-
tional currency is full legal-tender, and
hence as both disappear the prices of
both as merchandise increase. How
long it will take our constitutional
money-makers to discover that their at
tempt to resume specie payment on a
debased coinage, five dollars at a time,
will not succeed, is question in when
the people are deeply interested at this
time.

MAXWELL.

SOME time ago the Sentinel published
an article urging the establishment OF
additional stations for making up prob
abilities from the returns of the local OBJ
servers. Under the present system, the
observations are sent from all parts OF
the country to the Signal Office at
Washington. There the barometric,
thermometic, hygrometric and other
conditions are plated on skeleton map,
and the officer in charge forecasts the
weather and sends the probabilities to
the different stations. If he finds that
a storm center has developed, he traces
its probable course, and telegraphs to
observers along its pathway to hoist the
danger signal. But it is obvious that
the making up of these representations
for the whole country is a serious task
and requires considerable time, so that
the warnings are necessarily sometimes
too late. But if, for example, there was
a station at Milwaukee or Chicago,
where the observations for the West
could be taken off the wires as they are
sent to Washington, and the forecast
made for this region, great saving of
time would be realized. We refer to
this subject again because an incident
has occurred to illustrate the force OF
the suggestion. The tornado of last
week began at Omaha and swept across
the country with destroying force to
Chicago, where, it will be remembered,
great damage was done to property.
There was no warning of the approach
of this storm In time to take any precau
| tons against it. But if there had been
| a deputy 'fOld Probabilities, so to
speak, at Chicago. that is to say,
anoficer authorized to order the
raising of danger signals, the storm
| could have been forecast and the pre-
monitions sent to the points on its course
before it was upon them. This is I'M
doubtedly the future of our system of
| weather observations, and it is worthy
of the attention of Congress whether it
| is wise economy to defer it.

trottlng, but the reporter avoids telling
how about the farce. William Schaef-
fer went with honest Intentions on the
track to fulfill what he had promised
q good square trot-the unprincipled
jockey that drove Flying Ducthman
went there as he had said before, to
get my horse from his feet, knowing
well enough he could not run a race
of square trotting with Carl Schurz
and 30 he resorted to tricks which no
carried out. All those who saw II
know that he made q farce of the
matter by starting always In q rushing
gallop. After the first start was made
he played another trick which may
have not been seen by good many,
namely As soon as the horses had
reached the first bend, he being only
q little ahead, pulled bis horse over to
the Inside, thus stopping the speed of
his antagonist, as he had to lead his
horse on the outside to avoid q collis-
lon. Before Carl Hchurz came to the

HR CCoke] is the central figure and
energizing soul of an administration as
successful as any in the history Of Texas
fisherman Register
While we are willing to admit that
Coke has made measurably good Gov
ernor, and that in integrity and charac-
ter he is above reproach, we feel that he
is far from being entitled to the sole
credit of redeeming Texas. From the
tones of his almostsycophantic Aatterers
one would think that but for his hercu-
lean exertions, splendid genius, and
godlike omniscience, that Texas would
to-day have been despoiled State, gov
erned by adventures and vagabonds.
The redemption of this State is not due
TO Coke. 1t is due to that sturdy, solid,
irresistible and intelligent Democratic
vote that swept from the State forever
all remnants of Radical rule. Had a
man Of straw been elected Governor,
the same results would have been had,
he same victories won. To ascribe all
the honor, and glory, and renown to an
individual Executive is to slight not
only the legislative and judicial depart
ments Of the Government, but to ignore
the intelligence and patriotism of
thousands Of the States noblest sons.
As result of Cokes administration
we find an utter paralyzation Of great
works of internal improvement, a
steady increase Of the State debt, an
alarming prevalence Of brutal crimes. a
confessed failure inthe financial transac-
tions Of the State. While we in all fair
ness state that Coke Is not entirely re
spcnsibls for this state Of affairs, he Ger

The Houston Telegraph finds it some.

The Houston Telegraph finds it some
what difficult to answer Judge Reagan's
letter, and in its diffuse effort in
that direction INDUCES somewhat in
the "Jesuitism" that occasionally char
actsrizes the utterances Of that journal.
II is quite easy to affirm that Reagan
favored an appropriation subsidiary to
the Galveston Wharf Company, 1.-The
most grinding monopoly ever known
in order to disguise the animus which
provokes the unjust and incorporate
attack upon him. Mr.. Reagan favored
this appropriation because his unerring
Judgment and the highest testimony of
photographed engineers evidenced the
fact that to force the currents to leave
Galveston harbor and channel and flow
through Bolivar channel instead would
necessarily cause the harbor to fill up
and shoal, to the utter destruction of
that beautiful island city and her COM
merce, and because he did not desire to
make any appropriation subsidi-
airy to Morgan's monopoly that
might result in detriment to
the best interests of the State.
The only vote that Mr.. Reagan cast was
for an appropriation to be expended
north of Red Fish bar, and all the Texas
delegation voted exactly as he did, all
agreeing that before the location of q
ship channel south of Red Fish bal
should be made, an additional survey
and report should be had from tn,
United States engineer corps, For thi:
vote, and because Mr.. Reagan was un
willing that Galveston should be butch
cred, and an overmastefing monopoly
fastened upon the commerce of Texas
the Telegraph wantonly attacks him, and
goes far beyond the bounds of propriety
in saying that this gentleman's letter "is
as untrue in many respects as it is often
sive in all" Mr.. Reagan's letter was Q
dignifed, plain and manifestly accurat,
statement of facts, and it is q grave in
suit for the Houston paper to aver tina
that letter is not only offensive, but un
true.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The feverishness and excitement Of
the Senatorial contest being over with,
the recommendation of the Executive
respecting amendments to the Constitu-
ton deserve our notice II Is admitted
to be dangerous thing to tamper with
organic law, and to be annually chang
ing that which should be as fixed and
eternal as the wisdom of man can make
it. But if it be conceded by the com
mon consent of the most intelligent
thinkers of the State that nm amend
ment to subsisting sections is imperious-
ly demanded, and er-neccSSitdte must
be made the sooner tho change the
BETTER for to make laws that con
form to provisions that in short period
will be stricken out Of the Constitution,
will only provoke confusion and per-
picking uncertainty.
The judiciary article seems to be most
obnoxious to criticism and most deserv-
ing of change These changes will be
wrought out by the present Legislature
notwithstanding the opposition that
may be engendered and it is proper
that the press Of the State, in view of
these facts, should endeavor to secure
the adoption of those provisions most
acceptable to the people. The HERALD
avails itself of its privilege to present its
views, and would suggest the following
outline for substitute for the present
judiciary article.
Let the Supreme Court proper consist
of five judges, the increase to five being
necessary on account of the immense
amount of business to be disposed on
there being 500 cases carried over Of
the 18th day of April. Give this Court
precedence of the Court of Appeals and
permit it to exercise appellate jurisdic'
ton from that Court in cases of murder
etc. Let the Supreme judges be EN-
powered to issue writs of habeas cor
pus, and to finally try all cases involv
ing construction of the constitution
of this State or the United States.
Court Of appeals of three Judges, with
Jurisdiction about as now. Jurisdiction
of appeals from District and County
Courts in all cases where the amount
involved is less than 81 900, and in al
criminal cases, excepting such cases ~
involve the constitutionality ola law il
violation to the Constitution of. the
State or of the United States.
District Characterization of al
causes as is prescribed in the Constitu
ton of 1915.
County Cowt--Whenever acounty shall
contain 10000 inhabitants, the Legisla
ture may create County Court, having
jurisdiction as prescribed in the presen
Constitution, except that jurisdiction
should extend from one hundred to on
thousand dollars instead of from tw
hundred dollars up. Fix the jurisdic
ton of this Court absolutely in the Cor
stitution, giving no power to the Legi,
lature to increase or diminish the juris
diction; but only the power to Great
the Court in counties where it has stuff
cient population and makes provision
for pay of County Judge,
| Probate Court--Give the County Judg
in all counties the same probate juri'
diction as in the Constitution of lS45
| Give Justices of the Peace jurisdiction
up to one hundred dollars, and hav
not less than ten in comfy.
| Commissioners Courts to have tn
same as in the Constitution of 1876.
