The town Of Phoebe was little alarmed
on Sunday last by hearing q report that
two Indians had been shot in the morn.
ing Just about the break of day. and that
q short time previous to this an Indian
had had his throat cut at their cam.
poody, q short distance from town.
From what We could learn it appears that
the Indians having moved their camp
lately. have been INDUCING considerably
in liquor to celebrate the event, and as q
natural consequence, became very quar-
relsome with each other. These quar-
rels finally terminated in q fight about
daybreak on Sunday morning. in which
ono Indian had his throat cut, dying al.
most instantly. The Indian doing the
cutting. left the camp Immediately, fol-
lowed by his own,and the deceased 3
friends. He and his friends came up
Main street and darting ur the alley
way alongside of Veitch's store. were
making their way towards the summit,
when the pursuers appeared on the hill
above. Both appeared to SEQ each other
at once, az two shots were fred, one
from each side. the one fred from the
hill striking the Indian who did the cut
ting in the back. just above the hip bone.
whilst the shot fred from the alley way
struck the Indian, who did the firing on
the hill, in the lower portion Of the leg.
tumbliDg him over out of sight. This
closed hosiiii.ies for the time. The In
dian in the alley way was moved to
Persons yard and attended to by the
whites and Indians. and the one on the
hill was taken to the Indian camp. Later
in the afternoon the Indian in Pierson' 3
yard was moved to the top of ths hill,
attended by his friends. who left him q
short time afterwards to get well or die
just as he pleased. He was better. how
ever, on Monday afternoon. The Indian
shot in the leg was not much hurt. his
wound being only flesh wound. This
is the result of selling liquor to Indians,
which is INDUCED in to considerable
extent in Phoebe. and it is e wonder that
some citizen was not hurt by the firing
OF the Indians. The shooting ives done
at a distance of about four hundred
yards from each other, and in one case
is likely to prove fatal. Our officers
could easily catch the parties selling
liquor, q fine on whom would be 81 900,
one-half of which would 60 to the parties

mill has been considerably alarmed du-

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY JANUARY go 1916

government We assume, then. that the
case is as good as settled, and that WITHIN
q week we shall have two Senators from
this State instead of one.
We can not help remarking in this con-
nection that o world of trouble would
have been avoided if this decision had
been made three years ago. It would
have smothered the rising hopes OF the
opposition, and perhaps saved hundreds
of lives. It would have secured to us
ample aid for rebuilding the levees, and,
for aught we know, given us the ship
canal which the Chamber of Commerce
once petitioned for. The seating of Pinch
back will be not only an act of tardy JUS
tice to that gentleman himself, but vim
dication of Governor Kellogg and every
other Louisiana Republican. Following
as it will so closely upon the ruling of the
House in the case of Morey VS.. Spencer,
it will efectually lay the hopes of those
who yet contemplate some sort of politi-
cal revolution in this State, based on the
sanction of Congress. Had this been
done at an earlier day, there is no telling
the good that would have followed. But
we are too thankful to have final de-
cision at all to find fault with the delay.
Perhaps it was necessary in some sort to
discipline further the contending parties
in this State, to prepare them for better
behavior in the future.

DEMOCRATIC AMNESTY.

We have never heard that the union
ism of single Southern Democrat i'm
proved his claims to recognition by his
party, provided he rejoined the Demo-
cratic command after the war. There are
some signal cases of Democratic derelic-
ton of this sort, but they have been all
condoned by the party amnesty spoken
Of There was signal example of South
ern Democracy of this sort in the State of
kentucky. 1t is told of Hon. James
Guthrie, hard-shell Democratic Secre-
tary of the Treasury under the admins
traton of Pierce or Buchanan. He was q
very rich man, and the city of Louisville
was under the guns of the Union, SO to
speak. Notwithstanding he was South
ern hard money States rights Democrat
he deemed it most proper to cooperate
with the Republican administration Of
Mr.. Lincoln. So high was his unionism
above proof that be was present and of
counsel when General Sherman first
preached to Secretary Cameron, at Louis
vile, his plan OF marching to the sea. 1t
seems from the evidence of General judi
son Fitzpatrick that Secretary Cameron
disapproved the idea from want of q
force adequate to execute it, and that
Hon. j. Guthrie (Southern Democrat)
being called upon sustained General
Sherman's ideas" in regard to affairs in
Kentucky, and spoke at length in regard
to the importance of carrying the war
to the sea as proposed by General Sher-
man."
When we read further that General
Sherman subsequently declared his in
tention to ''smash Joe Johnston" get the
start of Hood, SO lay waste the country
that he left no subsistence in his track,
make Georgia howl, capture Columbia,
and make Lee leave Virginia, we may
admit this States rights Democrat rem
dered great service to the Union in
giving his support at critical moment
to q movement which made Georgia howl,
captured Columbia, and contributed to
make Lee evacuate his defenses of Rich
mond. We can not see how such man
and others like him, North and South,
never forfeited their positions as Demo
Gratis, and have been treated with tender
ness, while Confederate soldiers, who
were under no such obligations, have been
indicated as worthy Of death for having
voted the Republican ticket.

make the parish too hot to hold him, and
not having any use for the colored voter
on the parish ticket would drive him from
the support of State and federal tickets
with artillery and shotguns.
We need not recapitulate the deduc-
tons from this reasoning. There is q
colored vote Of ten thousand, which,
if allowed to come to the polls, will
decide the State election of 1876 in behalf
of Republican principles. There is Con-
sentative vote in the State sufficient to
protect these voters. This Conservative
vote knows that Democracy means the re-
vival of civil wal, with the continuation
and exaggeration of all alleged ofdcisl
abuses. Let the Republican legislators
demonstrate that their purpose is to per-
feet the reforms which they have insti-
tuted, and armed Democracy will be met
at the polls by men who will see that the
rights of all men in Louisiana will be
protected without respect to race, faith or
former condition. Such is, in our opinion,
the tactics of honesty and wisdom, and
these, if carried out, in spite of Demo-
cratic force OF compromise of salaries, will
establish Republican principles perma-
nently in Louisiana.

A SHORT-LIVED ISLANDER.

That extremely clumsy sensation of the
Democrats Washington correspondent
the SANDER about Senator West, we mean
did not live long enough to pay the price
of composition. It is not often that a
venomous young serpent gets strangled so
soon after it sets out on its career. But
the author of this young bantling impru-
IDENTIFY gave his authority-or what he
pretended was such-and laid himself
liable to instant detection. The point
of veracity remains to be settled. 1t lies
between the Democrats special CORES
pondent and parties unknown. The
statement was to the effect that the New
York Tribune, on the evidence of Mr..
Wilt, accuses Senator West of having paid
more than twenty thousand dollars to
various members of the Legislature of
1871, for his election to the Senate. Also.
that Mr.. Witt has documents in his pos
session which prove all the details of the
deliciously false and sensational dispatch.
Mr.. Wilt yesterday stated in the House,
Immediately after roll call, that he
knows nothing of any such matter. The
statement has, therefore, been made with
out his authority. 1t may have been
snaked in on the Democrat by some other
than its Washington correspondent, like
the famous Barrett dispatch from Wash
ington not long ago. Our correspondent
informs us that ''Bijou" stumped around
the capital in lively and frantic manner
when he read that cool story in the
Democrat and saw it credited to himself.
The "gentlemanly telegraph man" could
give him no satisfaction. Some one had
personated him, and that was the end of
it, except that "Bijou' was mad for three
or four days. We must wait for the az
rival of the New York Tribune of yester-
day for further information, as nobody
here seems to know how such story got

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

The proceedings in the Senate indicate
that the long pending question whether
Pinchback is entitled to seat in that
body is about to be settled. Judging
from the report Of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, we may say it
has already been decided. The report of
this committee is to the effect that Mr..
Eustis has no claim, because there was
no vacancy at the time our House Of Rep
resentatives complimented him with a
moot election. There will probably be
no further serious contest, as the matter
has assumed a strictly party question.
The Democrats will vote solid against
him, without reference to the legal facts
presented, while, on the contrary. the
Republicans are bound in great measure
by the resolution of the Senate passed at
the extra session, recognizing our State

GENERAL SEWELL'S ADDRESS ON CITY
AFFAIRS.

We have run this remarkable address
through three large editions Of the Re-
PUBLICAN, and yet such is the demand for
it that it is with difficulty we can retain
copy on our desk long enough to make
references to it. This demand comes
from men Of both parties, by whom the
address is declared to be the ablest paper
on city affairs which has been presented
to the public. In this opinion we quite
concur. The research into the history
and statistics Of municipal affairs is much
more thorough than could reasonably be
expected in q hurried address prepared
for use before club, which is almost pri-
vate in its character. While conceding the
great ability and value Of the address as q

| historical document, as we'll rs the cor
rectness Of the application of causes to
effects, We may not be quite prepared to
accept all the proposed remedies without
more careful examination. That some
system should be devised which will re-
lieve the corporation from the necessity OF
adding million dollars q year to its debt
| is proposition that admits Of no dispute.
It is quite as plain that half q million q
year for salaries alone, in corporation OF
this size, is much too great sum. The
necessary administrative talent and cleri-
cal force can be employed for one hundred
thousand dollars per annum. The work
can be we'll done for even less.
Perhaps the alienation Of the wharves,
rights of batture, markets, waterworks,
etc., by selling these franchises to con-
tractors, would result in an additional
burden of taxation upon the poor, with
the proceeds accruing to private parties
instead of the city. However, we can not
90 again into an elaborate consideration
of these questions. They have been turn
ed over again and again, but we always
come back to the starting point. That is,
that the property and business of the city
can alone be depended upon to pay the
public debt and detray the current ex-
penses of administration. That under
whatever guise the taxes may be imposed
the burden gen orally falls mainly on the
poorer classes. Whenever the richer pro-
prietors are unable to shift this burden
upon other shoulders, there is grumbling.
Much may be done no doubt by the
adoption of simpler and cheaper form
Of government, and something may be.

eminent ability, and we'll known for their
probity and success in their own business
affairs. It is very clear that there will al
ways be disputes about the propriety of
selecting this or that man. Good judg-
ment has rarely been shown in the pri-
mary elections City officers have often
been selected from those who have failed
in private business, either through their
own incompetency or on account of disas-
tiers which they could not avert. They
may or may not, therefore, have been
proper persons to manage the affairs of
great city, but the proof, if against them,
generally came like repentance, too late
to be used to advantage.
It is evident that General Sewell has
thoroughly investigated every item of the
city administration. He has not only
succinct and overwhelming
array of facts, which show the origin OF
financial embarrassments, but has recon-
nended the severest course of surgery for
heir removal. 1t is for the Legislature,
low in session, to take up this whole
