THE MARSHAL AND THE L0GMEN

United States Marshal Wharton's
mission to Calcasieu achieved no other
practical result except that Of compile
ting the inventory Of the logs seized.
The logs were at last inventoried, as
ought to have been done months ago.
under the administration Of Marshal
Pitkin. The inventory shows 10000
logs seized by the government, OF
which 1000 are claimed by intervenors.
Thus far there have been no claims
set up to the 10000 in the hands of the
marshal, and yet these logs must have
been the product Of a great deal of
labor, and the question in which we feel
sympathetic interest Is, whether this
labor is to be unrequited, whether the
poor, hardy axmen. who, by the neglect
OF the government officials were led to
bestow their severe toll and incur the
great hardships OF cutting and squaring
for expectation that large amount Of
valuable timber. will be compensated or
sent adrift. So far as the spectators and
mill men are concerned, they appear to
be able to take care of themselves.
Their rights are amply protected, and we
presume they have paid'o secured the
wages Of the laborers employed by them.
They have their Intervention and some
of them appear to have secured the
favor Of the government agent, as an
order was sent to the United States
Marshal to release a lot or lots Of the
logs in his possession, and claimed by
one of ring of mill men who are
charged by the other claimants and the
logmen with being in cahoot with the
government. Both the marshal and his
deputy hesitated to carry out the order
for this release, rightly experimenting
at least the suspicion of some coalition
of this character, until the government
agent, Carter, came to the ground and
directed the release in person.
This naturally excited suspicion and
discomfort. 1t was under the influence
of this feeling that Col. Wharton's pro-
position to all parties, to allow the logs
to be transferred to the mills, sawed and
held in the form OF merchantable lum-
Der until the final decision of the United
States Court, was rejected and the status
quo ante belltm resumed. Meantime
the claimants abide their application
to our Connecticut Court to be permit
ted to bond their logs. We are
gratified to learn from Col. Whar-
ton that the condition of affairs
In Calcasieu is peaceful and orderly,
that he met with unbounded hospitality
and courteous treatment, and that the
much maligned citizens and logmen OF
the good old Democratic parish consti-
tute class of citizens who will com
pare favorably with any other in this OF
any other State; that the authority oil
the United States Is recognized in the
most cheerful and cordial manner. All
that the people ask is that the govern
ment will protect them against the op'
preston of rings, jobbers and specu.
lators and Of conniving, bargaining and
Matchmaking agents.

There was terrible scene on the
Scotch express train on the Midland
Railway fortnight ago. A pauper
strength who was being conveyed from
Glasgow to London in charge OF a
workhouse master, suddenly brandished
a razor which he had concealed in his
clothes. The two men were the sole
occupants of the car, and the keeper
was reading a newspaper at the time.
He warded off the attack with his right
hand, but in endeavoring to close with
the mailman received gashes in the
head and wrist. He finally overpow-
cred his assailant after terrible strug-
gle. The lunatic, finding himself foiled,
suddenly drew the blade across his own
throat from ear to ear, falling to the
floor in pool of blood.

Fire Alarms and the Public Schools.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: There is nothing which appalls so many
anxious hearts in any community as the coupling
Of the words fire and the public schools. Next to
the evil Of the actual flre-the chances Of whose
occurrence In our public schools so improbable,
owing to the thousand safeguards thrown about
them by the most perfect system Of prevention
the phantom false alarm Is most to be dreaded.
The recent experiment In Iowa Of testing tho fire
drill In public school by the cry and false alarm
OF fire, and the universal condemnation which the
terrible experiment called forth" from press
and people, should be warning to our school
commissioners. some Of whom have the hobby
on which they may ride to death-of the tire drill
among the scholars and an itching to test Its
efficiency by o false alarm. But mon never
learn until too late. 1t Is now almost certan that
false alarm OF fro Is TO be raised today friday
to test tho fire drill" In the most crowded public
schools In Washington. The rumor has been cir.
cheeks by the appalled, teachers who tremble for
their scholars, and by excited scholars to their
parents. and the very shock which the alarm Of
the alarm has given already Is almost as bad rs
real fire. Sir, you are ever kind In condemna
tion Of evil, therefore ask you, In the names Of
hundreds OF parents and Thousands of scholars,
to put stop to this terrible experiment. There
are ninety.ninc chances against rcal fire to one
chance In it's favor. Why precptate all Its
horrors merely to please some commissioner who
has become a monomaniae on the question?
