The following is the charge of
Judge E. St. Julien Cox to the

charge was that every saloon keeper
in Marshall was indicted and placed
under bonds for trial, which is set

"On the subject of the sale of in
toxicating, vinous or malt liquor to
minors, l wish to say, whilst the law
permits . man to make . brute of
himself and paupers, or worse, of his
wife and family, it attempts to throw
. feeble guard around the child in
the tender years of infancy. It does
not permit that his footsteps be led
astray, and in youth led on . jour-
ney whose terminus is hell, with way
stations, county jails and State pri-
sons, by the poisonous chalice drink;
and / say that punishment certain
and swift ought to follow and be in
flicted upon every violator of this
law, to the end that society and fam
lilies be protected from the horrible
sight Of half-grown boys reeling
through the streets in the delirium
of intoxication, to sorrowing homes
and bleeding hearts caused
by the open, frequent and notorious
violations Of law by men whose
avaricious lust for money would
cause them to take from the widow
ed mothers' arms the stay and sup
port Of age and virtue, and with fiery
drink madly plunge him into = fel-

Of the jury, were rigidly enforced by
proper complaint, and punishment,

Bob Ingersall, of Illinois, who

Cincinnati Convention is lecturing

"The idea of hell was born of re-
yenge and cowardice. The Ameri-
can people are too courageous and
too charitable to believe it. l have
no respect for any man who does
believe III it,"
What a crushing blow this must
be to those men aud women who
believe in such retribution hereaf-
ter, and who are of far more value
to the World than this soothing bias
phemer OF the Christian religion, in
in their works and labors of love.
1t is quite safe to say that the large
number of respectable Christians in
this country have very little respect
for man who spends his time try
ing to obliterate all idea of respon-
sibility from the minds of men, and
would make the world run riot with

upon is to the average citizen truly
incomprehensible. Than this road
no work ever undertaken within
the limits of Louisiana is of such
commanding Importance to our
people. 1t will, when completed,
give us commercial access to re-
gion flowing with oil and wine,
with milk and honey, and which at
present has no proper outlet. In
its agricultural and mineral re-
sources, Northwestern Texas is
naturally one of the richest coun-
tries in Christendom. But being
without reliable rivers it must de-
pend on railways for satisfactory
intercourse with the outer world.
Nor can that intercourse be accom-
phshed by any other line with such
mutually advantageous results. 1t
is therefore of the very highest
Importance to the trade not only
of Louisiana, but of Texas, that
steps shall be Immediately taken
for the completion of the road.
To the State there can be no pos
sib!e danger in granting this loan
of credit. ALI engineering esti-
mates give assurance that in pro-
portion to its cost theTexas Pacific
Railway viii be one of the most
profitable in this country. When
completed it will be practically
without competition, and the pledg-
es TO be surrendered on its behalf
are an ample guarantee against loss
to the taxpayers.
Another matter of considerable
moment relates to proposed chan
ges in the administration of our
municipal affairs. That our system
OF city government requires some
revision is all but universally ad-
mitted, and the changes now under
consideration meet with favor on
the part of many of our oldes, and
best citizens. Experience can, how
ever, alone prove their efficiency.
Additional measures of relief to
distress taxpayers would be advisa.
bic, for it is by no means wise on
the part of the State to become an
active agent in heartless process
Of contiscation. !
Let us have the brief remainder
of the session devoted to measures
of practical reform.

What Next
New Orleans City Item

New Orleans City Item.]
The Legislature has good deal
to do and but little time to do it in.
as yet the best plan of amending
the constitution has not been fully
determined, though the cost of call
ing constitutional convention has
given incidental encouragement to
the cheaper patchwork process.
How the matter will end is still
problematical, for the voice of our
assembled wisdom" has not given
its final Inference in the premises.
We pause for that utterance in
pain.
Then there are various other
subjects which should be speedily
disposed OF. First of these in in
portance is the proposed loan of
the State credit, to the extent of
two millions, for the completion of
the New Orleans and Pacific Rail-
road. This measure has been IA
vorably reported on by the Judi
ciary Committee as free from con-
stitutlonal objections, and why it
has not been taken up and acted
