The coIorcd fiend who outraged Mrs.
Gray Mclaughlin and then attempted
to murder her, near Sinnotts station,
in this parish, on July 23d, w@s ar
rested in Caddo parish, last Sunday
morning, about three miles south Of
Shreveport He was captured by Mr.
V. L. Porter, and young man, at the
formers residence. Mr.. Porier recog-
nized him from description and cap
tured him. He was lodged in Jail in
Shreveport. Mr.. John \, Barlow,
deputy sheriff Of this parish, was in
that city, and hearing of Joe Fosters
(the negro's name) capture, made a
demand for him, which was acceded
to. Joe Foster was fully identified by
negro sent from this parish, as the
brute who perpetrated the outrage
here. Mr.. Barlow at once telegraphed
to Sheriff S. P. Raincs, who departed
Tuesday afternoon with proper docu-
ments to secure the criminal. Foster
attempted similar crime in De Soto
after leaving NatChitochcs. There is
little doubt but that he will receive a
mertcd punishment, either through
the methods of Judge Lynch, or the
due course Of law Such brutes do
not deserve any favor and their fate
should be swift and sure.
Sheriff Raines arrived here Thurs
day night with Joe Foster and he is
safely lodged in one of the iron cages
of the parish jail.

The Echo ventures the assertion,
that of the entire press of the state,
there are not more than half dozen
papers who indorse the Picayune in
its opposition to Major Burke for
director general Of the Centennial Cot.
ton Exposition.
An unproyokcd and cuwardly at.
tempt to take the life Of the Publisher
of the Sabine Southron, was recently
committed at Many. The Southron
gives no particulars, but simply states
that the publisher has recovered,
although he was dangerously hurt.
The trial of the Jenkins brothers,
for the murder Of Rev. ]. Lane Bor-
den, has been set for the first Monday
in September. 1T is stated that the
defense will attempt to prove that
Ben jenkins was engaged to Miss
Butler and that she did tell him she
had been seduced by Borden.
The New Orleans evening dailies,
the Chronicle, City Item and States,
denOunce the Picayune for stating that
the appointment of Major Burke as
director general of the Exposition was
equivalent to that enterprise being
turned into political machine. The
Pic. has let prejudice get ahead of its
better Judgment this time.

going on in town. Caterpllars have

We regret to observe the acrimony
with which the Picayune assails Gov.
McEnery in its Issue of this morning
relative to the land contract made by
the late Gov. Wilt with ex,GoY!
John McEnery.
Whatever nitty be the m0rits or de-
merits of this land contract, there is
absolutely nothing to show that any
responsibility for it rests upon the
present governor.
On assuming the gubernatorial office
it was not reasonable to suppose that
Gov. McEnery would feel it his duty
to enter upon an inquiry into every
act or contract of his predecessor, as
if he had succeeded in Office usurper
and pIunderer. On the contrary, it is
quite natural that he should have re-
cognized as valid and in accordance
with law the acts of his distinguished
predecessor.
To have fathomed Immediately
every possible abuse in governmental
departments would have required an
omnipotent minds but that the gov
ernor took the proper steps to ascer-
tain all the Irregularities in this par
ticular contract when his attention was
called to it is matter Of fact, and
that when fully satisfied of the extent
of those Irregularities he took the
proper steps to correct them is also
true.
Perhaps the governor did not act
with the precipitation our contempo
rary desired, but he certainly acted
with the dcIfberatton and caution
which becomes the chief executive Of
the state, and with a natural and hon
orable consideration for the rcputa-
tion of his lamented predecessor, and
for his own friends aud other officials
of the state.
The only irregUlarity in the cor
tract was that clause which permitted
the contractor TO locate scrip on any
lands Of The State, iEatoad Df requiring
him, in accordance with the law, to
take his compensation out of the par
ticular lands recovered, and the only
abuse, the alleged over-issue of script
for lands listed to the state prior to
the contract. With neither Of these
wrongs can Governor McEnGry be
Justly charged, and, outside of these
parGfcmar aCts, the Democrats in tbe
legislature, comprising sapaa af tho
purest aud most public-spirited men
in Louisiana, are responsible for the
contract and any wrongs upon the peo-
pie it may have sanctioned.
We have no desire to engage in
discussion over the claims of partiCu-
lar individuals for Office, but we re.
gret to see Democratic adminstra-
tion unjnstIy accused, and Demo
attic governor fcrceIy and bitterly as
sailed. We are not of those who think
that a Democratic official or admins
tration should be exempt from criti-
tism, on the contrary, it is the espe-
cial duty of the Democratic press to
hold Democratic officials to rigid
accountability for their errors or mis-
deeds. But that is a very different
thing from opening an unjust personal
war upon a Democratic aJministra-
.ion, seeking to make it odious at
home and subject of denunciation
abroad.
No one who knows Gov. McEuery
will balinvn that ha is dishonest man

The Hebrews aud Their Future

The New York Herald says: Much
has been spoken and written about
the future of Israel. 1t was for many
centuries the popular belief among
the Jewish people themselves that they
should be gathered out OF all lands
aud taken back to the land which
Joshua conquered for them, aud which
had been promised to Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. 1t cannot be said that
this belief and hope is yet wholly
abandoned. 1t is generally admitted,
however, that the land Of Palestine
would require to undergo some radical
changes before it could be regarded
as tempting or desirable home for
the now scattered race. According
to our authority, the Jews are to be
come masters of the world, and Palcs-
tino is to become co-eXtGnsiye with
the globe. They are declared to be
the most vital of the races. Tlfey can
live in all cimes and in all ATTITUDES.
Their energy is irFearessible. Their
faculty for money making is unequal
cd. ahcy are the great bankers Of
the world, During the last ten years
the Rothschilds alono have furnished
loans TO the amount of s5on, 600, 600.
It is claimed that they Increase faster
than Christians, and that Of every
100000 the Jewish death rate is 80,
the Christians l43.
