People will begin to think that we of Louisi
ana are getting puritanical Il this sort of thing
goes on much longer. Parish after parish il
falling IN line under the prohibition banner
and now the largest parish in the State comes
out with Sunday law, fully equal to the ''bue
laws" Of Connecticut The police jury of ST.
Landry at Its last session passed an ordin.
ancc closing all places of business in that
parish on Sunday. The only exceptions to
this rule are the markets, bakeries and
drug stores. All other places of business
must be closed and kept closed all Sunday ;
must neither give away, sell, nor buy any
goods. wares, merchandise, refreshments,
liquors. or produce, or receive, ship or for
ward any freight on any Sunday during the
year.
Any person violating these provisions is
punished by fine of not less than 500 nor
more than $3.50, or Imprisonment for not less
than one nor more than three months, or both,
a. the discretion OF the court, one-half of the
line To go to the informer and the other half
10 the parish treasury.
Such Is the law passed unanimously by the
police jury OF st. Landry. Similar laws may
exist In q few Of the New England States but
they have never met with approval hitherto

The terms offered by the Spanish govern

generous enough. King Alfonso IL about tt

tioally, that he wants to have all his subjects
~ harmony and at peace with each
other on his wedding day He there
fore begs the Cuban patriots to cease
their conflict, and offers tho following terms
b those who will surrender. A return
of all conflscated property; every officer In
the Cuban army to be given an equal rank in
the Spanish army: Cuba TO have fair repre-
sanitation In the Spanish Cortes; all losses to
Oubans from confiscation to be paid up; an
nutonomic form Of government for Cuba
such as Canada possesses. with full control
over Its financial affairs; in fine, complete
freedom In all but name.
The determination and perseverance Of the
Cuban patriots is shown in the fact that very
few Of them have yielded to these terms, ad-
vantageous as they appear.

Attorney General ordering him to bring suit
for the forfeiture of the charter of the
Crescent City Slaughterhouse and Live Stock

to the Chief Justice, who, Individually, has no
power to issue such writ in any case.

any such petition has been filed in any of our

therefore have been obtained from some law.
yer who contemplates bringing such suit
IL reeites grounds which are quite grave and
serious allegations against this corporation,
and which have been regarded. In previous
decisions Of the Supreme Court as violations
OIL the conditions OF the charter Of
the company. These grounds are that the
company without authority of law, after ss-
tablishing their chief abattoir on the right
bank OF the river. suddenly shifted II to the
lelt, tore down the costly buildings they had
constructed and erected new ones on the left
oahk In the locality they now occupy. After
aolllg this, The company sued and pursued
with great vigor tho butchers who slaughtered
cattle In their own slaughterhouses. on the
right bank for failing to bring their cattle to
the abattoir OF the company to be slaugh-
tered and to pay the toll exaeted by their
charter. which gives them the monopoly of
this business. LII these suits tho butchers
have generally been successful, and The de-
eisiotis Of the Supreme Court have recognized
1t as an obligation Of the COMPANY to re-
establish the abattoir on the right bank The
company accordingly did put up buildings
on the old site Of the first structure, But
these did not satisfy the butchers, who still
assert their right to slaughter In their own
houses and resist the collection of the toll to
the Crescent City Saughterhouse.
1t would appear that they have determined
to Insist upon forfeiture Of the company's
monopoly, as consequence Of their change
OF the locality Of their grand abattoir. To en-
force such forfeiture, 1t liz requisite that the
Attorney General should proceed In the name
OF the State against the company. We are
very sure that when o proper showing Is
made to the Attorney General 1t will not be
necessary to mardamtis him TO perform this
duty Of his office. The claims and pretsnsions
Of this company have been resisted by tho
butchers with great pertinacity, and ut heavy
expense, ever since 1t was established. But
thus far the company has been able to
maintain itself against these assaults. There
is no doubt that the monopoly and tax OH the
occupation of butchers imposed by this
charter has been previously oppressive to the
butchers and stock dealers nd that In prin-
oiple and for Its objects, 1t constitutes one Of
the worst Of those specializing corporations
bequeHthed to It's by the Radical Legislature
Of this State.
