The Philadelphia Press has discovered an
able argument against the prevalence Of
States rights doctrines In Louisiana. t'How
can the people of Louisiana" 1t says. believe
In States rights when their very territory
was purchased by the Federal government,
with money from the Federal Treasury.
For cool audacity and impudence this beats
anything we have ever seen. The United
States government, having paid the purchase

mention here that this was never paid. the

good deal over the claim of one Of the wit
nesses In the Kellogg-Spofford case, an ex-
member of the Kellogg Legislature, John de
Lacy by name, that he was o lineal descend
ant OF Sir Hugh de Lacy, which claim was
made apparently ID earnest by that Rapides
parish negro. The Alexandria Democrat ex-
plains how the claim arose. In 1872, It states,
Judge Ryan, OF Rapides, made an eloquent
speech at the town-hall of Alexandria, in
which he graphically described all the leading
local carpet-baggers, and made them the dee
scendants OF famous characters Of history
and Action. Among those thus satirlzed was
John de Lacy, whom Judge Ryan made de-
scendant Of Sir Hugh de Lacy. The darby,
who was present and heard the speech, did
not see the satire of 1t, and being unable, like
many Of his color, to trace his genealogical
tree very far back, took for granted that what
Judge Ryan said In jest was SO. Therefore,
when he mounted the stand at Washington

THE LLANO EsTAOADo,

It Is reported that the northern Llano Es-
facade, bordering on the Canadian river Is
again infested with Kiowas and Cheyennes,
who, though not openly hostile as yet, are In
sufficient numbers to brighten the cattlemen
from attempting to utilize the vast areas OF
gramma and buffalo grasses for their stock.
This portion Of Texas. long completely under
control Of the Indian, Is now being earnestly
looked to as the greatest pasture Of the
future, probably being the best place for herds
In the world. The bottom of the Canadian lie
rich with the most nutritious OF grasses,
while the great Staked Plain hbove It Is noted
for being the finest grazing ground on the
continent.
In view Of the rapidly approaching compile
tion OF the Texas Pacific, the interest OF Lou
isiana Is linked with that Of Texas In the de-
velopment and opening OF this promising
section, and In the settling of the Indian
question now bearing directly upon 1t. It
seems strange that while the Apaches have
been so thoroughly subdued In New Mexico.
that unarmed travellers are now perfectly safe
on the once famous tornado del Muerto, and
that Arizona Is wat peace, the Comanches,
Arapahoes, Cheyennes and KtoWas should be
still able to go on the war path when inclined,
and defraud the United States out Of one Of
her most valuable sections. There Ger
tainly are troops enough In the service
to garrison Indian Territory and pre-
vent raids, and Ii the paeee commission
objects to the presence OF large bodies
OF men within the reservations, let sufficiently
large posts be established at Adobe Walls,
Antelope Hills, Rio Arenoso and other salient
points to protect the section and insure peace.
The Indian Is not going to raid In the vicinity
of strong garrIsons nor Is he so strong as TO
require more force for his subjugation than
the present state Of the army affords. It is
important that the upper portion Of the Llano
Estacado should recelye protection, and in
the interest OF the nation we hope protection
will be given.

Inspired by the example Of these two de-

into existence. Scholars and men Of science
OF the first capacity have been found to en-
gage In the work, and already command
assurances OF success.
For the first time instruction In the higher
branches Of learning liz offered to the youth OF
Louisiana, at merely nominal sum, or SO
per month. They have opened to them here
at home, In this great city, the advantages
which until now have made us tributary to
distant, il not foreign, sources. This, too, Is
only one step in the COURSE Oh which the uni
versity has fairly entered. Should the Conven-
ton give the university a just place In the i'm

lege proper by reasonable endowment,
corresponding growth and development are
to take place. Additional studies OF priceless
advantage at this time, and In particular to
our people, will be taught to all who desire to
learn, and upon the most reasonable terms
imaginable. Blessed by the best home In
fuences; inspired by the most commendable
spirit OF emulation, and catching, as they
advance, the spirit and conditions Of new
public existence, the youth Of the country In
improving themselves will secure the future
prosperity and glory OF the commonwealth.

OALOAsIEU LOG WAR.

At one time the Calcasieu log war threat
ened to enter into national politics. The
Federal courts were put to the most oppres-
siye uses that were possible, and there
was committed to them for enforcement e.
policy not whit less oppressive than that
which was dictated by the administra-
tion In the election cases. 1t will be
remembered that the crusade against
the people Of Calcasleu was attended
by great want and suffering among
all classes Of people engaged In the lumber
trade. These people have been hauled before
the courts, they have gone through the most
rigid investigation, they have suffered the
greatest losses and almost the destruction Of
the interests and industries whereby they
live. The government resorted to the harsh
est measures against these people. It first
attempted criminal proceedings, and aban-
doned these only to resort to civil processes
for which We have never been able to see any
justification in law. There were compromises
favorable to the government, II Is true, but
these were forced by arbitrary acts on the
part OF the government agents. Neyerthe-
less, We are glad to republish the following
resolutions from the Lake Charles Echo and
Calcasieu Gazette, which were passed by and
bear the signatures of the most Important
| lumber dealers Of Lake Charles:
Whereas, reports are circulated abroad that
extensive depredations have been and are being

A STRANGE MANIA.
A IL YRAR OLD BOY THINKS THAT THE JAIL is |
THE HAPPIEsT SPOT ON EARTH.

In Sundays MORNING APPEAL mention was
made of an orphan boy, only few days before
brought to the Orphans Home from Austin,
who ran away the second day he was at the
Asylum, with the fixed determination of seek
ing home in the County Jail. This lad is
| Ii years of age and named Albert Welrz
| Even at Austin he manifested an abnormal
desire for incarceration. He tells how he
tried to kill man by whom he Was en-
ployed, for no other reason than that he might
be placed in prison. He vows that he will
not remain in the asylum, because, he says,
he was deceived. Before leaving Austin he
vas given to understand that when he reached
the Orphans Home, he would be permitted
to learn the blacksnith's trade, for which he
evidences great fancy, and get $50 per
month This is evidently fancy of his dis
ordered mind The boy became unmanage-
able at the Home, and threatened, if he was
and break into some ones house, then he
would have to be taken to prison.. To satisfy
his curious whim, he yesterday morning
placed in the custody of Sheriff Hill, and as
soon as the boy was behind the bars he was
perfectly happy. In the afternoon DR.. Fox,
who has had great experience III mental dis
eases, and whose judgement in such cases is ex-
cellent, examined the boys mental condition.
He did not consider him insane or a mono
maniac; but pronounced it one of those pc
cuiar cases where there is almost total alb
sence of moral sentiment. He, however, will
examine the boy again before he publicly ex-
presses his opinion upon the subject. The boy
was asked whether he would like to 60 to
Stockton, and all the horrors of that institu- |
ton were depicted to him as plainly as words |
could paint them. Without showing any |
evidence of repugnance to such place, he |
replied, if he could not remain in Jail that be |
would be willing to go there. number of |
citizens were present at this interview, among !
whom was Farmer Treadway, who thinks that |
he can manage the boy, if the Board will |
turn him over to him. He will take him to
his ranch, give him horse to ride and let
him herd cows, which he thinks will satisfy
the boy, and assist gradually to wear off his
abnormal popularity. 1t is more than likely
that the Board will grant Mr.. Treadway per
mission to make the experiment.
