PARISH FINANCE.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT

What shall we do with our Parish
indebtedness is a question often
asked, and as there has been no an
swer which satisfies all, 1 venture a
few suggestions.
We are in the position of a debtor
who with a family to support has
limited income which he is not able
to increase, and honestly wishes,
while providing for his housho.d, to
discharge gradually his liabilities.
How can we best get rid of the incu-
bus in justice to ourselves and our
creditors? One says bond the in
debtedness. I am opposed to fixing
an interest bearing debt upon the
Parish. We are too poor to stand
that.
Another suggests, that our Police
Jury, by economical management
provide fund to be put up to the
highest bidder as exchange for Par
ish paper. The only objection 1 see
to this, is that an opportunity would
be given the holders Of the paper to
form ring to keep up the price. My
own suggestion is that at least two
mills of the ten levied as Parish tax
es be appropriated to the payment of
the debt. That they then deter
mine by proper means the market
value Of Parish paper on (say) LIST
August last, which we will suppose
to be fifty cents on the dollar, and at
which rate they agree to redeem it
with legal (fve) per cent interest, in
the following manner, viz: Let each
holder of the paper of the Parish be
invited to present it without refer
ence to amount) to the Treasurer to
be by him endorsed and numbered.
And on the first day of January of
each year, let the Treasurer in the
presence Of a committee of the Jury
draw from a hat or box in which is
deposited number representing
every piece of paper outstanding, and
pay according to the numbers drawn
to the extent Of means on hand.
This to be continued until the entire
debt is taken up. Of course the &C
ceptance of the plan proposed would
be optional with the holders of pa
per, but it is to be inferred that all
would agree to it under the circum-
stances. This would in so far as
mode of payment is concerned prac-
tically be the Premium Bond scheme
originated and carried to a success
by Administrator (now Mayor)
Pilsbury of New Orleans. I would
not dogmatically stand by my sug-
gestions, but would be glad to see
better and more satisfactory solu-
ton.
l am utterly opposed to repudia-
ton. The fact that this paper Gre
ates no legal obligation cannot in
common honesty and justice relieve
from the duty of providing for it to
the best of our ability, but / am
equally opposed to paying more than
it's market value, or to the creation
of standing debt by bonding as
proposed.
l believe the people of the Parish
have entire confidence in the recti-
tude and integrity of their Police
Jury. X. 4.

opened fire on Cornelison and Bal
lard, who both received shots through
the head, and staggering few steps
fell dying. The example of Lee
Maupin was followed by his fellows
who deliberately approached their
victims while they were dying, send
ing the heavy balls from their pis-
tolls through their heads. Then,
there being no more of the friends of
the vanquished party remaining
alive, the carnage ceased. The bro
theirs ofthe wounded Maupin gath
cred about the dying man, and, still
grasping the instruments of death in
hands red with the blood of his MUIR
derer, kissed his pale face and wept
like children. Then he was carried
in store near by, but expired in a
few minutes. Then they turned
again their attention to his murder
ers, and finding them, too, dead,
sheathed their revolvers and quietly
gave themselves up to the Sheriff.
Those left in charge were Lee, Joe,
Brock and Brutus Maupin, Neal
Gooch, VIM. Gooch, and VIM. Ter
riIl, and of these only Lee and Bru.
tus Maupin and VIM. Gooch were
held after the inquest to-day.

Mexico.

The spirit of the order of General Ord to
cross the Rio Grande has been misunder-
stood by the press, which has made bitter at
tacks on the American Government. The
official journal charges the United States
Government with violation of the treaties
and international law, alleging that the Rio
Grande movement is a pretext for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT or for forcing Lerdo upon
the Mexican people. These attacks have
called forth memorandum from Minister
Foster, which is addressed to the Govern
ment and foreign representatives. The fol-
lowing are the principal points of the men,
orandum:
"The instructions given to General Ord
are not the announcement of new measure
! on the part of the United States. The
depredations committed during the past
four years were not common to both sides
| of the frontier. Mexico took no adequate
nor vigorous measures to prevent the
depradations or punish the outlaws. Mexico
frequently acknowledged its inability to dis
charge its duty regarding the preservation
of order on the Rio Grande frontier, giving,
as a reason, internal dissension. The
instructions to General Ord are misinter-
preted by the Mexican Government, there
fore the declaration made by the Mexican
| Minister of Warts unwarranted, in officially
asserting that the instructions to General
Ord are in: contravention of the treaties
between Mexico and the United States"
Telegraphic dispatches announce meet
ing between Generals Ord and Trevens, al
Piedras Negras, at which amicable and sat
isfactory arrangements were made for the
suppression of raids. The Mexican Gov
ernment insists upon modification of the
order to General Ord, and fears are enter
tanned that the modification will not bt
conceded.
There is considerable excitement ovel
this affair in the Capital. Senior Rafae
Benavides has been commissioned by the
Mexican Government to make a special ant
minute study of the situation on the border
and report measures deemed expedient fol
putting stop to raids and disorders.

COMylENTS ON THE WAR.


The effect in England of reported Rus
sian successes has been to renew the dis
cussion about British interests, and Rus
sian newspapers like the Daily Telegraph
and Morning Post, greatly excited, call for
instant preparations to protect the inter
ests and honor of the country, which lie
under most direct menace. They find
the Cars proclamation a revolutionary
manifesto, manifesting determination
to annex Bulgaria. They add to this
the reputed intention of Russia to claim
Armenia and the Turkish ironclad feet
as indemnity, and force the passage of
the Dardanelles, and declare such changes
would rob England of her real rampant
for her Eastern empire. But it is noticea-
BILE that papers of quite different class
are beginning to exhibit uneasiness.
The Economist calls attention to the
probability that if the Dardenelles are
to be kept closed against the Russiansby
force, England must do it alone, because
the other powers are not sufficiently in
terested in that result to Justify the
anticipation of their cooperation. The
Observer declares the time has arrived
when the government should know itself
and be prepared to enforce its views
when necessity demands, and the Turk
ish papers are very guarded in their COM
ments and devote attention chiefly to
discussing the Austrian position, and at
tacking the ministry for not taking the
opportunity to make further declaration
of policy.

A Vegetarian's Experience.

Speaking at vegetable banquet at
Leeds, in England, the other day, the
Rev. c. II. Collyns said he was descended
from long line of equity ancestors. He
had been a sufferer from gout, but hav-
ing more than ten years ago become a
total abstainer, and having, not long
afterward, become vegetarian, he had
gradually driven the gout out, and could
give no other reason for it except pure
and wholesome living abstinence
from alcoholic liquors and from flesh
meat. The teeth of man showed that he
was not carniverous, but frugivorous
animal, and the stomach, he contended,
also showed that he was intended not
to re ceive flesh, but the fruits of
the earth. He would not 60 back to his
former mode of life for anything that
could be given to him. Vegetarian diet
agreed with the delicate as well as the
robust. 1t was wholesome and enjoy
able, and to it he a owed new issue of
life.

Glass Eyes for Horses.

The New York Sun says: Artificial
eyes for horses have been made for several
years past in Vienna, and to some ex-
tent in the United States. M. de la
Grandiere, Frenchman, who has been
dead for some years, was an expert in
this business, and made large number
of eyes for horses. These eyes are about
ten times the size of an artificial human
eye, and are not made hollow like those
for human beings, but are solid; and
herein lies the difficulty in giving them
their proper hue. There is only one
person in this city who manufactures
artificial eyes for horses. They are made
entirely by hand, by Mr.. Hahn himself,
as they require the skillful handling of a
superior workman. They are not kept
on sale, but are made only on order. A
model of the empty socket is necessary
to the work, and with the aid of this a
glass eye can be made that will defy all
save the most accomplished experts.

by the internal injuries will not prove

fatal.
Three barns were unroofed north of
Gettysburg, Ohio. The celebrated sugar
camp of Z. D. Kincains was damaged to
the extent of a thousand dollars. Great
destruction of trees east of New Paris, and
several barns and three houses were un-
rooted, and some stock killed. j. McDaugh's
saw-mill was unroOfed and otherwise dam
aged. The estimated loss in Wayne County,
Indiana, and Preble County, Ohio, as far as
New Paris, is $4,000
The storm also visited Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and was felt in Missouri.
ST. PAUL, IND, July IA tornado passed
within two miles of this place between nine
and ten o'clock last night, doing immense
damage to crops, fencing, timber and stock.
Several barns, churches, school-houses and
dwellings were destroyed. An old wealthy
German named Michael Meheslich was
instantly killed, Mrs. Kicker fatally injured,
C. Juppenlatz injured internally and John
Lewis's collar bone broken.
CoATEsvILLE, Pa, July IA severe wind
storm passed over this section this after
noon. At Ercildown, small town three
miles from here, the damage was,very heavy.
Twenty families were made homeless in a
few minutes, their dwellings being razed to
the ground. The fine new seminary of
Richard Darlington was also destroyed, and
nothing remains but the bare walls. A
woman, named Hopkins, was instantly
killed, and five persons injured, two fatally.
A meeting will be held here to extend aid to
the sufferers.

Turkish Cavalry in 1928.

The horses, especially those of the
Asiatic Spahis, were small but fiery, well
broken, capable of enduring fatigue and
privations. Kurdish and Cappadocian
horses were accustomed to be picketed,
and to bear the midday heat and the
midnight cold. They were only watered
once a day, and kept in condition
without barley, when fed on the coarsest
fodder. The light and easy-fitting
palanu or saddle, made of felt, remained
on their backs day and night, SO that
the horseman was ready at any moment
to mount. The bit was very severe for
so well-broken an animal, and was in
tended to stop the horse suddenly in mid
career, or to wheel him round in a
moment. The bar of the bit was often
five or six inches long, and instead of
the curb-chain there was ring. The
round shoe was admirably suited to its
purpose. The steel was forged cold, was
thin and light, lasted five or six weeks,
and protected the hoof admirably on
stony ground. Although they use no
cruppers the Turkish horsemen rides
down the most ,precipitous places,
covered with brushwood or trees, at full
gallop.-Roumelia in 1S2S-29.- Von
Moltke.

FARMING INTERESTS.

The Department of Agriculture
reports oats in superior condi-
ton in New England, in most of
the Southern States, in those of
the Missouri Valley and Oregon, and in
fair to high condition in the remaining
States except California. The South is
finding immunity from loss in their red
rust-proof oats. The indications are fa-
vorable for good yield of barley, though
decrease of area is reported in the
Western States. The condition is high
est west of the Mississippi. There is an
increase of clover, especially in the
South, and very marked in Texas.
Spring pasture has not been abundant in
Northern New England, in the West, in
Virginia and Texas, and in Oregon. 1t
has been injured in Southern New Eng
land, and in the Middle States, prior to
the recent rains, by dry weather.
Drought has reduced the condition in
portions of the South. The injury from
this cause has been great in California
Pastufsge has been generally good in the
Territories. An investigation into tht
losses of sheep during the past yea
shows total of nearly three million
of sheep and lambs destroyed by dogs anc
wolves and various diseases, and an ag
gregate money value of nearly eight mil
lion dollars. The average of loss is nearl,
eight per cent. The proportion is high
est respectively in North Carolina
Florida, and Louisiana, and ranges from
seventeen per cent. in the former Stat
to three and seven-tenths in Nebraska
The rate is the highest in the South
and lowest in the States having do
laws.

Great Tornado.

June 80 was a day of storms in Indiana.
Brooklyn, Columbus, Mooresville, Rich
mond, Mt. Vernon, and other places were
visited. Houses and barns were destroyed,
and in some cases lives were lost and many
persons injured.
Persons who witnessed it and escaped say
that no description could be given. Three
deaths are reported in the vicinity of Brook
lyn; they were members of the family of
George Dressler. Two others have since
died, and the one remaining is expected to
die at any moment. The wife of ]. S. Dres-
den was severely injured. All the houses in
the path of the tornado not torn down were
damaged more or less. A great deal of stock
is reported killed at various points along its
route. The damage at the lowest estimate
will exceed 0,000.
A Columbus letter says that the House of
Mr.. Drummer, three miles south west of
| Franklin, was entirely demolished, and his
entire family, five in number, were instantly
| killed.
A Mr.. Armstrong; residence was blown
down, and two children killed and several
other members of his family severely
injured.
At Jolly new church just completed was
torn to pieces.
Farmers lose very heavily. Immense
numbers of cattle were killed, and crops
almost totally destroyed. Fences were
leveled and barns and Out-houses destroyed
An immense amount of timber was blown
down, huge trees being twisted off like
| straws.
As far as heard from the number killed is
twelve, and fifteen severely wounded
There being no telegraphic communication
with the district visited by the storm a full
report of the damage can not be obtained a
present. 1t is feared the number of death,
will be increased when full particulars ar,
received.
The following is from Richmond, Indiana
July 1: Between eight and nine o'clocl
last night the most destructive wind storm
ever witnessed in Eastern Indiana de
vastated the section of county between Mid

report of the storm came from bridge No. 9
