THE CAPITOLIAN.

AS soon as railway communication
ia permanently assured and the State
Government is removed to this city,
it is our purpose to issue daily edl-
ton Of the CAPITOLIAN, which Will
contain, besides the latest press dis
patches, full summary OF State
news and such items of interest con-
corning the doings at the State head
quarters as will prove of interest to
readers everywhere.
We propose to forward the daily
edition of the CAPIToLIAN to New
Orleans along the line of the rail-
road and by our river steamers, SO
as to give it as large circulation as
possible.
It will be our aim to render the pa
per one worthy OF the Capital Of the
State, and to make it q frst-class ad-
vertising medium, in the locality, as
well as for the advertisers Of New
Orleans and elsewhere,
With this view, We have already
secured the services Of Col. Henry d.
Monier, who in the city of New Or
leans, will represent the CAPIToLIAN
in the matter Of advertising contracts
etc.
Col. Monier will be remembered
by the Louisiana Veterans of the Ar
my of Virginia, as the gallant Lieu
tenant Colonel of the Tenth Infantry,
aud for q time the temporary Comman-
der Of Stafford's Brigade. We are
sure that his and our friends will be
pleased to extend through him lib
eral patronage to the CAP1roLIAN.

THE JEWISH QUESTION.

1t is truly asserted that history re-
peats itself. For example we point
to the cruel assault now being made
upon the Jews in many provinces of
Russia and Roumania, where the
homes of the sons of Israel are being
sacked by faraticized mobs who
hound them even unto death
1t may be said by way of palliation
for these crimes against humanity,
that ignorance ann superstition guide
the hand of the newly emancipated
serfs of Russia, and of the stupid
peasants of Roumania.
But when we see enlightened Ger
many joining in the crusade, under
The leadership of some of her most
renowned statesmen, we almost de-
spair Of the human family and of the
restraining influences OF civilization,
We know of no crime that the Jews
are committing against society, I'M
less it is criminal for them to adhere
to the faith and traditions Of their an
cestry to be Industrious, thrifty and
Of frugal habits; to respect the laws
of the country wherein they live; to
follow the precepts Of morality, and
to respect and tolerate, by word and
deed, the faith of their hereditary
prosecutors.
The same incentive which arrays
the communist against the rich man
moves the barbarians of the present
century, whether they be the ignor,
ant peasantry Of Russia, or the self.
styled thinkers of Germany.
viii christianity clothed with thu
mantle Of civilization, give counte
nance to the disgraceful cruelties now
being enacted, in old Europe9 VIVA
Is worse still, will the christian phi
lanthropists of free and tolerant
America silently approve those deed
across the ocean, the recital of whicl
ought to bring the blush OF shame t
the cheek of every man, who love
religious aud political liberty ?
We trust that the voice of tn
American people will be heard to sa,
that amongst them, at least, the Is.
raelites will be safe from all name
Of persecution, and that The religion
freedom guaranteed by the Consti
tuition will ever be maintained, a
we'll towards them as for any oJhe
class or race'of men.

The Feliciana Sentinel says: "The
New Orleans Daily States makes a
good suggestion to the effect that the
old St. Louis Hotel, the present State
house of Louisiana but which will
cease to be upon the completion Of
the capitol at Baton Rouge, will be
admirably suited for an establish
ment for the manufacture of light
goods, thereby not only furnishing a
a revenue to the State, but will fur
nish the means of a livelihood to a
number of deserving people needing
work.

"UNEAsY LIES THE HEAD."-We
desire our confreres of the Advocate
and Sugar Planter to know that when
we announced our intention of inter-
viewing our prominent citizens as to
their opinion of rats, we had not the
slightest intention Of including those
who belong to the human species
Had we intended to do so, profess
sional courtesy would have prompted
us to except them. Hence their I'M
easiness was, to say the least, en-
tlTely premature.

NOW AND THEN.

During the memorable campaign
for the liberation of the State from
Radical rule, in 1876, a number OF
talented and patriotic orators had
thrown themselves in the breech to
arouse the people to action. Among
these none were more Jealous, cour-
ageous and indefatigable than our
gallant friend Col. James Lingan, OF
New Orleans, who, at the request OF
the State Committee, came to Baton
Rouge in the month Of October and
addressed large concourse OF citl-
zens, at Pixies Hall, in manner
which reflected great credit upon
him, and drew forth the repeated plau-
dts of the throng of his listeners.
In his address Col. Lingan made
the following poetic allusion to the
Capitol as it was at that time, when
it fttingly represented our down
trodden State;
"That magnificent structure, front
ing the glorious sweep of the Mlssls
sippi. in whose halls the honorable
representatives of a cultivated and
noble people framed the legislation
of prosperous State in the past;
whose classic towers and shaded
grounds call up proud memories OF
Louisiana as she was, and Baton
Rouge, as her proud Capital, ap-
plause was a palace of beauty and
grace, and a State House where laws
were framed in honesty, and admin
istered with justice and wisdom
But now, those blackened and frown-
ing ruins stand amidst the deserted
walks and overgrown shrubbery, like
solemn sentinels keeping watch over
the encampment of the dead!
The ancients built towering ODE
lisks and great monuments of stone,
and sculptu1ed walls and architrave
witnessed their blighted hopes and
their buried dead But poor, desola-
ted Louisiana, whose dead heroes
"unwept, unhonored and unsung,
have found uncovered graves on ev'
cry battlefield of the country, finds il
those sacred and once proud walls o.
her Capitol, now blackened and dis
figured by the rude hand of war, the
melancholy burial place of her brigh1
past, the gloomy mausoleum of TIT
hopes and aspirations of a noble, pa
triotic and gallantpeople."
Those words left deep impress
sion on the minds and hearts Of thu
Baton Rougeans, which, in grea
measure, tended to organize tn
movement which eliminated in thu
restoration of the Capitol, after Sc
ries of persistent efforts in the fac'
of many obstacles and difficulties
We hope that the gifted orator
will, some day, have occasion to al
Jude in equally touching terms, with
in it's halls, to the beauteous edifc
that will soon supercede the then de
sertedruins which appealed SO strong
ly to his patriotic heart.

THE ARKANSAS MURDER.
Large Reward o ffered for the Muir.
derer Of Young Peerse-History
of the Crime.
Special to the N. 0. Democrat.

LITTLE Rock, Jnne 18.-To-day Gov.
Churchhill issued a proclamation offering
$4,000 reward for the arrest and convic-
ton of each person implicated IN, the
murder of Frank Peerse.
The crime was committed in Polk
county, June Is, 1880. The victim was
16-year-old boy, who had incurred the
displeasure of certain parties whom he
caught robbing turkey trap in the
neighborhood of his mothers cabin.
These men prosecuted the entire family,
arresting the boy and his sister on the
charge of horse stealing. The Peerses
were poor, but honest, and their suffer
ings at the hands of the desperad0es was
cruel in the extreme, and as given by
the mother, Mrs. Peerse, to Gov. Church
hill, and corroborated by reputable wit
nesses, reads more like fiction than the
horrible truth which it has proven to
be. Frank was seized at length while
crossing the mountains bya gang of men,
who hung him and then riddled his body
with bullets, throwing it on q brush
heap in the woods as food for buzzards
Mrs. Peerse, after patient search, found
the corpse and gave it burial. She de
scribes the scene in widely pathetic
manner, adding that God only knew bel
thoughts as she stood beside the dea(
body of her darling son, her only stay
and comfort in this world, in the midst
of the desolate forest About twelve
men are implicated in the murder. They
are known, and it is thought that jus
tice will be administered to one and all
1t is certainly the most brutal and. cold
blooded murder that has ever occurred
in the State,

THE CONCERT,

The citizens Of Manitovoc proved on
Friday evening Fast, that they are not in
sensible to the advantages to be derived
from public library and that they are
willing to respond to its calls for assist
ance. Quite large audience was pres
ent and no one went away dissatisfied.
Ii is SO customary to speak in compli-
mentary terms of the rendition of pro-
grammes by home talent that words of
communication are looked upon as a mat
ter OF course. But every one acquitted
herself SO well last Friday that praise is
well deserved. Quite number were en-.
cored and all were loudly applauded. at
the close the hall IVES arranged for
dance but Tie majority turned from the
joys it brought. The association Melted
$50. 10, very neat sum and sufficient TO
pay up all Indebtedness. 1t would be a
wise move or the plrt of the manage
ment to have entertainments similar TO
that of last Friday, semi,annually. The
people have showed on every occasion
that they viii support entertainments of
this kind when the object is worthy.
About $3.50 a year collected IN such small
individual sums, would place the library
on a secure basis and ieaye no cause for
complaint at the expense of sustaining IL.

it from being sown for some time to

Farmers having potatoes to sell could
procure for them about ten cents per
bushel more if they disposed of them at
home than by taking them to the city.
Yet they prefer to part with them in the
latter place. Many OF them-the farmers,
not the potatoes-wish to haze some sort

pose Of noting the spring style of bon

freak.
This is the era for ''blooded" stock.
