If there is any thing the South needs
it is small farms, conducted on an eco
nomical basis, by practical farmers.
Especially is this the case in the sugar
growing section of Louisiana. The small
farm system, generally adopted, would
show that the lower Mississippi valley,
as has been claimed, is the garden spot
of the world, and we are happy to state
a movement is now being inaugurated
to give this practical demonstration.

To the Honorable the Mayor and Member, of
the City Council:
GENTLEMEN-You have referred to me,
for legal opinion, the petition of Ger
tain citizens to purchasee, lease or use
by sutferance, that portion of Govern
ment street unoccupied by the city of
Baton Rouge. The doctrine that mu-
nicipal corporation has no authority to
dispose of property dedicated to or held
by it i'll trust for the public, is so firmly
established it will not admit of discus
sion. In Louisiana, streets, levees, com
mons, or public grounds are considered
as lands out of commerce. incapable
Of being alienated and must ever remain
free to the public. Dillon, on Corpora
tions, 53l, 5l2, 90 An, Sc, $50: Can a
municipal corporation lease the proper

prevent the city from leasing the prop
erty, nor can see how she could be sub
Jected to any loss. The lessees could

ent Supreme Court held in the case of
Kline VS.. the Parish of Ascension, 33 An.

to have the donation or dedication an

hibiting the city from leasing, she NAV

her citizens, who can legally restrain
any misrepresentation of the city proper
ty, The decision in the 33 An, page !
364, is one in point. There the court
said; 'if the parochial authorities. who. |
we think, are mere trustees for the
benefit of the inhabitants of the
parish, fail to administer the prop
erty for the purposes intended by |
the donors, this fact cannot vitiate
or annul the donation or dedica-
tlon. AT best, such acts and conduct
can only be regarded as unfaithful ad-

generous and increasing patronage heretofore
extended to the HERALD.
The last year has been one fraught with deep
interest to Texas, and more particularly to tn
northern portion of the state. New lines of
railroads have been projected and now under
construction, while the older com panles have
been extending their maines and pushing
branches in every direction. Immigration has
been pouring in rom nearly every state in the
union and the deneslypopulatedco of Eu-
rope. These.immigrants, as a class, are far gu.
perlor In intelligence and enterprise to tho
usually falling to the lot of new countries. AS
general thing they possess means sufficient to
erect comfortable dwellings, Improve farms
and In this way add to our general prosperity

Consistency.

The Memphis Avalanche Of the
2Sth. contains carefully prepared
article beginning with these words:
Lynch law is anarchy. The rule
of the mob ia the notification OF
the law. The Avalanche il oppos-
cd to state of anarchy, because it
lis a condition destructive OF all the
interests which men can have IN Il
country, &C., "and winds it up with,
." 1t is a crime, which the Avalanche
will not cease TO 1enouuce."
This is all right and in keeping
with the teachings of a great and
popular newspaper; but the fat Of
that article as it were, is knocked
into the fire, by the very next one
below it in the same column. 1t
is introduced with II six ch double
loaded heading, surmounted with a
two-liue plea sensational catch line
which reads, " Rctribution." Then
follows pen picture, IN approved
style, with sickeniug details, of the
violation of the person Of a young
lady by a brutal negro, who threw
his victim IN clstcrn. The water
beng too shallow to drown her,
the negro slipped down the chain,
and chucked her head under until
she was drowned. IIo then en-
deavored to climb up the chain to
the mouth of the cistern, but this
ieat he was unable to perform, and
was, so to speak, caught in his own
trap. Here he was discovered and
the noighbors gathered he was
drawn up, and with a rope and a
convenient limb, short worf. was
made with the rapist. All this is
described in language and cxprcs-
sion indicating that the Avalanche
believes that circumstances alters
cases, and that heroic treatment is
sometimes necessary TO the sup
preston OF crime, as well as in the
treatment of bad cases of disease,
