Claiborne Guardian: Before we

stitution the one we have should be en-
forced. Tie constitution provides that
the salary Of the Governor shah be four
thousand dollars per annnm. But the
legislature appropriated about eleven
thousand dollars to the Governor to pay
such expenses as house rent, travelling
expenses, postage, private secretary,
&C., and the Governor goes on drawing
the money What's the use to have a

The old style Irish harp was about
four feet high, had no pedals, and was
strung to the back with straps. The
one belonging to King Brian Boru,
killed in the battle Of Clontarf, in 1914,
still exists in the museum OF Trinity
College, Dublin. 1t is black with age
and polished, but now worm ten, and
it is adorned with silver ornaments. It
was taken by his son. league, to Rome
after the battle and presented to the
Pope, with the crown and regalia. A
succeeding Pope, presented it to Henry
VIII, with the title of Defender of the
Faith, and Henry gave it to the Earl Of
Clanricarde, in whose family it was held
until the beginning Of the eighteenth
century. Tt then passed through seve-
raj hands until 1856, when the college
became it's owner.

Lynch Law.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The year 1888 has become memorable
as a year of cyclones and lynching. The
wild Justice of revenge wreaked by in
furiated mobs has been growing in fash
ion, not only in the South, but i'll the
stad and conservative North also. And
we notice that in every community,
where it is adopted as a habitnal resort
instead of serving as a deterrent from
crime, it seems to predispose society tor
a new outbreak OF crime. The most
sanguinary punishments and the most
cruel tortures seem to have no more
effect in suppressing the criminal pas
sions than the old slow procedure OF the
courts. And at the same time, when
ever public sentiment justities such re-
sorts to mob law, it seems to produce
general relaxation of the yigor OF the
criminal law. Wherever justice is ad-
ministered under the lash OF excited
passion, juries seem to be incapable OF
dealing out it's stern retributive penal
ties in the spirit of cold devotion to
duty. And so the very weakness OF the
sanctions of the law thus produced
gives excuse and justification for the
infliction of the summary vengeance OF
lynch law on the next occasion OF crime,
deeply striking the popular mind.
We distrust general and int1exlble
rules and we will not say that rare Oc-
.casiOns may not arise when the prompt
.yindication of the public justice by IT.
regular expedients win be wise and JUS
tifiable. But it is palpable that when
Judge Lynch's court is looked onsas a
regular supplement TO the ordinary tri-
bunals to be employed in every case
where an outra geous crime horrifes the
community society is in great danger
and numberless evils win arise from
this state of affairs. The lax sentiment
thus inculcated as to the sanctity OF hui
man life and the virtue of regular meth
DDS in the legal administration is fruit
.ful of many pernicious consequences:
We feel satisfied that these evils will
finally get to be so great that society for
sheer self-protection will have to get
back to the old sentiments of respect
for law and it may be well debated at
this time whether the time for reaction
has not been reached and the time OF
reformation of a great abuse. m

The demand that there shall be no.
disturbance Of the present swindling
tariff and no agitation of the tariff
question in the next Congress, is in the
interest of the monopolists who -four
isIl and fatten under the present sys-
tenn. The question is but imperfectly
understood, rat only by the people
but by many pretentious newspapers,
and, ii all agitation Of it can be sup
pressed in. the next Congress the peo
pie, when the next campaign opens,
will be as ignorant Gift as they are
now. The Democratic leaders and
press will not have time to fully ex
plain it, and the monopolists will be
able to bamboozle the voters as they
did in 1880, by bowling for the pro-
tection of American labor, when they.
are really robbing the American peo-
pie for the benefit of the manufac-.
turers. The Democrats should take
up the reform of the tariff at the
outset, agitate it in and out of Con-
gress, and educate the people thor
oughly as to its merits, SO that in 1884
they may vote intelligently for their
own interests and protection, instead
of ignorantly for the interest and pro-
lection Of few thousand souless
monopolists, who are growing richer
and richer ON these substances.-[N.

Ina recent communication to the
New Orleans Democrat, Capt. Board
man, master of the Red river steam
boat Alexandria,, states that "the large
body Of water going into the Atchafa-
laya is from the Ouachita river, fed by
the crevasses that have occurred at
different places on the Mississippi, and
not from tho Mississippi through Old
river, as many suppose. l passed
through Old river to-day, and
find that instead of the
current being from the Mississippi,
the water is on a stand, and by my re-
turn will be running from Old river
into the Mississippi.'
We have believed for some time that
the low stage of water i'll the Ouachita
and Black rivers was due to the
drainage of the Atchafalaya.

Tic Railroad,

The bridging for 8 miles ON the road
west OF the Ouachita is complete.
Graduation for II miles will be in
and the pile-drivers say that track
laying will not catch them.
Steel rails for 81 miles of road are on
the west bank of the river, and by the
LIST of April there will be 10000 cross
ties on the first - miles, of the road,
or enough for miles of track.
1t is expected that the track will be
laid at the rate of half mile day
when commenced, but we are not adj
vised when the work will be begun.

Editor New Orleans States.
The article in your issue of Marcel,

& S. Railroad" has Just been shown.
me.
been prevailed upon TO treat with ST.
lcnce the numerous incorrect reports
which have heretofore been circulated
through the press in this connection,
but the statements in your paper, COM
ing, as they profess to do, from a total
~ disinterested source, demands some
recognition at my hands.
1t is surprising that a man of intelli-
gence and local prominence, such as
your informant undoubtedly is, should
have undertaken to enlighten the pub
lie upon subject, of which he has
shown himself so profoundly ignorant.
While there is just enough of truth
in the statements made you, with re-
ference to deferred payments to en-
ployees on the operated portion of our
road, to give that feature of the case
an air of FEASIBILITY, your information
pertaining to the work Of extension
westward, where the disturbances real
ly took place, is false in every essen
tial particular.
TO itemiZe-Cram, the original con-
| tractor, was not dismissed, as stated,
because Of an attempt TO dcfraud the
| company, but because OF his failure to
meet his labor obligations and to full.
fill other important features of his con-
tract.
After his retirement, the company
did not, as stated, let the work out Gin
small contracts to some other parties
than those engaged by the contractor
Cram.'
On the contrary, the work was con-
tinued under identically the same sub
contractors, nor was anything of the
kind done even after Grams place was
supplied by the present contractors-in-
chief.
The assertion that the "local authori-
ties were not appealed to for the pre-
servation or order which had been so
slightly disturbed" hardly merits de-
| NAL in the face of Judge Richardson's
| telegram to the Governor of February
%, which was published at the time in
the New Orleans papers.
Every legal step that the District
Judge or counsel for the company had
to suggest, had been taken, and i: was
only after the former had virtually con-
fessed his inability to meet the emer-
gency with the means at his command
that l appealed to the Governor.
Your informant is pleased to charac-
tcriZe the disturbances as matters Of
! insignificance.
If the driving from their work on
| several different occasions, by daylight,
lfC t,n rn0 nd
afterwards, when writs Of injunction

tutes s:insignificance'' it would be
gratifying to railway men generally,t to
be informed what character of outragcs
are of sufficient gravity to be officially
noticed.
