The l.Ouisiana Fraud.

The Gazette" piping in along will
other Democratic papers, has dsnounc
ed the reports from Madison Parish
Louisiana, Of the hanging Of three Re
publicans just prior to the election a
untrue, and We are willing to accorc
that as to the number of persons hang
ed there it was incorrect, as only on,
man was hanged and the two other,
alluded to though most shockingly out
ragged were at last accounts still alive
The man Armstrong who was killed
was President ofa Republican clut, and
being a resolute fellow he talked back
He was hanged tbs night before the
election, and his body was cut down
and cast into the bayou, and up TO
Monday last it had not been recovered.
1t was found that it was the intention
Of the Democrats to'conduct the election
quietly and have no bull doing, de-
pending entirely upon the court to de-
eide the matter. But a man named
Tibbles in command of a company of
the" White League" afraid to depend
upon the court, adopted the surest mode
which had proved so efficient before,
with his company swept through the
Parish, forced the police jury TO come
together and change the voting pla-
css and dismiss all TIE Republican COM
missioners of elections. The company
then visited most of the plantations and
warned the negroes not to vote. Arm
strong denied their right to come from
Ouachita, to dictate to the people of
Madison, sc they hanged him and as
before stated stretched him. The other
negroes did not vote, save few at one
poll. The registered vote of this Par.
ish Is, colored 1850, white 1928, and
Notwithstanding this the Parish is
credited with 23O0 Democratic majority.
When the "Gazstte" denied the report
of the hanging OF three men, it might
have said that it was false 80 far as the
number only was concerned, and the
editor might If he wanted to give the
truth at all have stated that one man
only was hanged, and that the other
two reported hanged were only 80 bru-
tally mangled that they are not expect
ed to live.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

The two Irisbmen who bought
COW in copartnership, one of whom
claimed the end with the tea,s, and
necessarily left the head of the COW to
his brother Iri, Imam, who refused to
put straw to the mouth-eud of the
COW, thereby cutting short the milk
of the other who had the teats as his
end. This 10 what the Dalton Head
light brings forth as representative OF
capital and labor. Labor feeds the
cow and capital gets the milk. But
this is not fair representation, for
if it was "copartuership" an equal
division of milk and an equal pay
ment for straw to feed the COW, was
mutually obligatory. Copartnership
admits of nothing else. To make
one foot all the expenses that keeps
the COW alive, and share none OF the
profits of milk, is not compatible
with copartnersbip. You have heard
of the man who put his experience"
against the "capital" of partner,
and at the end Of several years he
had the capital and his partner the
experience Evidently the coufd
ing capitalist had paid dear for his
"experience." So you see labor can
rob capital, and capital can rob la
Dor; both can be rogues if they Wish,
but they will clash and create civil
commotion if they SO act. 1t is best
for both to be honest and deal honr
estly with each other, working to-
getber for each others good, for both
have relative interests dependent
upon each other Honesty is always
the best policy.

Katie Duroy sneaked into resi-
dence in Philadelphia, at night, left
her shoes in the hallway, and crept
up stairs, intending to steal some>
thing and quietly get out of the
house. But the household was
awake, in consequence of sickness in
the family, and Katie, while rum>
maging 10 an upper room for valua-
bIes, beard servant approaching.
A large, empty trunk presented the
only hiding place, and she hastily
got into it. The discovery of the
strange shoes, and the disorder in
the room. led the inmates to conjec
ture that thief was in the house,
and thorough search from attic to
cellar was made,-but nobody thought
of looking into the trunk. Still,
every body remained on the alert,
and the woman stayed t~eptyNsix
hours in her close quarters, thirsty,
hungry, cfamped, and stiAed, before
she ventured out. Then she was
captured.

IN FIFTY YEARS.

At the recent meeting of the Ken
lucky teachers, one of them Pro
fessor Kirby-iosisted that the teach
ers should give special attention to
the elements of morality; the func~
tions of Government, and the rela~
ton of Government to the moral Law;
The Constitutions of the States and
of the United States, with the Ca
pacity to interpret in out line, at
least, their various oAices-execu~
tive, legislative and Judicial. He
held that schools should give the
training that prepares for citizens
ship, and that it was as necessary
for boy to take the right direction
in social and political subjects as to
learn reading and writing Profess
sor Kirby has good sense and reason
on his side, and perhaps in fifty
years the rest of the American teach
ers will agree with him.--New York

AFTER learning that a bout six
thousand dollars worth of the cleri

ment is steadily engaged in compil-

surprising to find that one high

him. acd has full supervision OF his

the former case, the assumption is
that the Republican party owns the

idea OF Republican ownership has
not been extended to the cash in the

JUSTICE oF TAXATION.

THE hardesLthing in the world is
to convince some peopl' of the JUS
tice of taxation. They regard it as
an unmitigated hardship from which
they would gladly make a sacrifice
to be free. They seem to think
that all the money collected for tax
es goes directly into the pockets of
the officials, and that these lucky
men get rich and grow fat by OPP
pressing the poor and helpless. -
They do not seem to reflect that the
government has to be supported
They enjoy the blessings and know
not why they come.

1t is very strong and closely knit

A feature of Austrian prison dis
cipline is the practice of compelling
the convict to reflect upon his of,
fence. 1t is in the discretion of the
Judge, on passing sentence OF i'm
prisoument, to prescribe also com
pulsory fasting al stated intervals
every year, and to direct in addition
to abstention from food, a period of
solitary confinement on each anni~
versary of the commission of the
crime. Imprisonment for twenty
years, with these additional rigors
to the sentence, was recently imposed
upon a youthful murderer in Prague.
The fasting and solitary confinement
are believed 10y German jurists tc
have a valuable reformstory in
huence.
