A Mexican at Las Vegas, New
Mexico, tied his wife firmly to a
board, leaned her thus helpless
against a fence, took a position
fifty feet away, and used her as a
target for rife practice. He did
not hit her, his object being to
brighten her by embedding the
bullets in the board close to her
head and body. She tainted

The PAYMENT OF STATE WAR

L ne / n e Ut okalE w An"
RANTs.-The prompt, punctual,
and equitable payment of public
funds to the parties who are
entitled to them, SO that all
creditors may be treated justly
and fairly, is one of the most
imperative duties that Government
owes to it's subjects.
The present State Government
has no more serious objection
raised against it, than its failure
in this respect. Whilst the PEG.
pie are promptly paying all taxes
due the State, no creditor can OBJ
tain a dollar out of the Treasury
until his warrants of claims go
into the elastic clutches of the city
borkers who have a ring around
the desks Of the Treasury that
none but the initiated can pass.
Why is this so Why is it
thai every creditor cannot go to
the Treasury and have his war
rants cashed with the same facili-
ty as the New Orleans broker :?
That is the question that most
people who are creditors of the
State would like to have satisfac.
torily explained.
\ citizen outside of New Orleans
might hold a warrant until his
hairs became white with the
SHOWS of many winters, and then
be unable to Obtain his pay, as
long as the present system pre-
walls.
There is something radically
wrong about this payment of hon
est debts due 70 the creditors OF
the State that reflects no credit
upon the Administration, which
can be easily remedied and which
should be promptly remedled.
The man who works for the
State is entitled to as much coh-
sideration as a city broker and in
opinion of some people to consid'
cradle more, and if any one is COM
PEELED to wait for his money ii
should be the Spectator, and not
the man who earns the warrant.
The present system is one that
is injurious to the good name Of
the present administration and
should be so altered as to stop
this whole brokerage business.
which can be easily done, without
doing injury to any The

The FELLOW That LOOKS LIKE
ME.-Except an Irish landlord,
says the London World, no mem.
Der of the peerage is more to be
pitied than Lord Airlie. For
several years past he has been en-.
deavoring to stop the career of a
clever adventurer who has been
pleased to adopt the name of his
eldest son, Lord Ogiivy, and,
under that designation. to run up
debts, forge bills and swindle
people generally in all parts of
the world. The number Of
applicants which Lord Airlie has
received for payment on my
account from tradesmen, who
thought they were trusting his son
and heir, is simply incredible.
These bills come in a perfect
shower from all parts of the
Continent and the United States,
and although public notices and
warnings of all kinds have been
launched at the head Of the
impostor, and once Or twice he
has actually been arrested, yet,
after a short time he is certain to
be found at his old tricks again,
and poor Lord Airlie is obliged
once more to explain to a phalany
of clamorous tradesman that they
have been duped and robbed.
No real lord was ever trustee half
so much as this spurious one. His
personal appearance is att active,
and with the fair sex he has
always been a great hit. Mean
while Lord OgiIyy Is always with
his regiment. the Tenth Hussars,
in India, not having half such a
good time as his double.

The Banner State

Missouri is a continuing marvel
for the East to wonder at, and es-
pecially is it incomprehenslble to
the fauatical Republicans OF ew
England that a Democratic state,
almost On the frontiers of civiIiza.
ton, should take the front place in
progress. 1t is contrary to all the
political rules, which they have
made and provided to cover such
cases that Democratic Missouri
should stand so high and Aannt its
prosperity in the face of Republi-
can New England. Democracy
ought not to attract such throngs
of immigrants +; Democracy ought
not to raise the credit of the state
to such a high standard that it
can borrow money one-half of one
per cent. less than the lowest
rate paid by the national govern
ment. Yet, in despite of what
they have been teaching of the
harm done by Democratic Nilsson
ri, Missouri is doing to-day what
no Republican state, East or West.
has done or can do. No city.
country or state in the country
has borrowed money at 3 per cont.
as Missouri has done, and that
single fact speaks volumes for the
state. 1t is a sufficient answer to
all the slanderous clap-trap about
Democratic rule. that is so much
of he stock,in-trade Of the average
Republican politician. The high
credit of Missouri is largely 100,
because Of its Democracy. 1t is
the legitimate and fully calculated
result of wise and intelligent re-
forms in the organic law Of the
state, which have secured the
prompt payment aud speedy reduc-
ton of the pulic debt, while cnsu-
ring at the same time lower taxes.
This change of policy, which has
worked such a revolution in Mis-
souri,, is a direct contrast to the
policy that prevailed while the
state was in Republican hands.
Reckless and iinproyident expen-
ditures were the rule. All the
state owned was frittered away
and the public debt vas steadily
increased until the people were
driven to the very verge of bank
ruptcy. Prudence and economy
have succeeded under Democratic
rule, and that the state is now
able to borrow at 8 per cent. is
due directly to the fact ma the
work begun by the Democratic
constitutional convention has been
faithfully carried out, in the same
spirit Of retrenchment and reform,
by the Democratic legislatures and
executives who have had the ad-
ministration Of that constitution
and making Of the laws under it.

Our SUNDAY Reference
to the proceedings Of the last
police jury will prove to interested
parties that the late decision of
the Supreme Court anent the
Sunday law does not affect the
law passed by our police jury in
reference to selling liquors on
Sunday-or. at least, our police
Jury SO considers it and is
determined to test it before that
august body should it become
necessary. TIE Manning Supreme
rench said the law was constitu-
tional and could be enforced, and
sustained it on every appeal !; the
present bench says it is not
constitutional, but rs there is a
wide difference between our law
and that passed in other parishes,
we are determined to see whether
we have the right to suppress the
sale of liquor on Sundays as a
police regulation or not-withour
interfering with the sale of other
merchandise. If we haye the
power, it will be exercised to its
fullest extent if Otherwise, resort
must he had to other means.
Where there is a will. there's a
way is an old saying that has
so often been verified that none
can deny its power when put into
