WHITEy1LLE, Oct. 1.-Citizens of
Whiteville to-day adopted the follow
ing resolution
Resolued. That Sheriff G. G. Duson,
the hero sheriff of St. Landry, who pur-
sned the two desperate murdere1s of
Nicely through 40 miles of dismal
swamp, killing the murderer and ar
resting his associate, after having re-
ceived himself from the murderer a
scalp wound and bullet hole through
his clothes, deserves more than ordina-
nv notice from the public. Mr.. Duson
has earned for himself by his brave,
conscientious, persistent and hazardous
discharge of his duties,a eulogy above
all other executive officers, and his
name should be handed from paper to
paper until he shall acquire national

We publisll a communication from
Conservative" in regard to the gen
tleman who fills the responsible office OF
sheriff of this parish. This communica-
ton is no vain eulogy, for the writer
had always been opposed to the sub
iect of it, and now after many years
he frankly Acknowledges his error.
During his long tenure OF office Sierin
Duson has never let doarn. For some time,
|it is we'll known that he hasnot been
a candidate for reelection; and many
under such circumstances, with only a
few more months to remain In Office,
would not so eagerly and zealously put
their lives in perilas he and his depu-
ties C. i. Hayes and Z. A. Mckinney
did last week. Again, during his long
lease Of official power, ne has never
shown any disposition to domineer OF
be oyerbearing. After capturing the
meanest criminal, at the risk ofhls own
life.9he treats him with all the kindness
compatible with safe-keeping. he mas
never abused his position by oppress-
ing his opponents; but he has heaped
Goals of fire, in the Christian sense, up
on some OF their heads. He has exc
cuted the laws without fear or favor.
In the difficult Office of tax collector,
which was consolidated with the sher-
ifs office by the present constitution,
he has for the first time made the collec-
ton of the po IL tax success IN tbi
parish. He did this by resortlng to
energetic measures, from which no fear
of losing votes restrained him. Taking
him all in all, be is wonderful execu-
tive officer, and this parish will proba-
bly, never have his equal.

Country Roads.

The Iowa Homestead has the following
sensible remarks to make regarding coun-
try roads, and the suggestions apply to
Wisconsin equally as well as Iowa:
Every farmer in the State pays heavy
tax nearly, in the time lost or useless
team work, in dragging half a load to
market, and half load of lumber, coal
etc, back, when with better roads he
could take full load. This tax, levied
by poor roads, amounts to four times the
amount of road tax that he paws direct
ly, and not dollar of it ever makes the
road better, or benefits anyone. It
would be far better policy to take small
fraction of this useless tax that is annu-
ally lost in wallowing through mud roads,
and wish it make permanent improves
ment ON our highways. It is true th&e
large portions of our State are destitute
of good road-making material, but there
is vast room for improvement in the use
of the material we have, as we'll as in
the method of expanding our road taxes.

FORGERY.-Charles Lenk, of the First
ward, for whose arrest a warrant was is
sued several days ago for the forgery of a
note, returned to his home here last
Thursday for the purpose of surrendering
himself to the proper officers of the law.
The victim of the fraudulent transaction
is DR.. F. B. Herman, who advanced
5000 on a note made by Lenk and pur-
porting to be endorsed by Jacob Burger,
of Clyman. Very soon after receiving
the money, Lenk MED himself away. as
was supposed, to Dakota, whittier Deputy
Sheriff Bruegger went in his pursuit, but
Lenk chose to not wait for Bruegger and
so came home without any official escort.
He is now in "durance vile" at Jefferson
awaiting his trial.

The War Department has sent orders
to the fifteen army-recruiting stations to
secure as many recruits as possible, with
proper regard for the qualifications of the
applicants. This is not due to the fact,
as has been reported, that there is an I'M
usual number of assertions, but to the
fact that many terms of enlistment now
expire. The demand for recruits, how
ever, will not cause any lowering OF the
standard. Nearly all the recruiting sta
tons of the War Department are now
open, which is not customary at this sea-
son of the year
-Thurlow Weeds Autobiography is
announced for early publication, by sub
scription, by Houghton, Miffiin & Co., OF
Boston. This can hardly fail to be a
work of permanent value and of engross-
ing interest. Mr.. Weed knew everybody
worth knowing; he was man of remark
able fascination, even for those whom in
politics he opposed most theoretically, he
was the trusted adviser of Presidents
and Governors; and his career was pecu-
liarly American.
From the photographed papers
which he published from time to time We
infer that bis Autobiography will be

cences of The growth of the country and

Spring Disappointment.

The weather since the first of May has
brought long series of disappointments
to nearly everybody. "Mav day" had
been anxiously looked forward to for
some time previous as the.period that
would bring us clear skies and warm
sunshine. But how little of these con-
ditions of things have we realized. The
weather for the most part has been cold,
wet and backward, causing many post

An Explanation.

The editor of this paper takes this OPP
portunity of utterly disclaiming all re-
sponsibility for the article entitled GLOW
to Prevent Strikes" published last week
in these columns. The article appeared
while we were PROSTATE with sickness,
and from our infirmities rendered totally
incapable of locking after any of the de-
tails of the paper. 1t was written by Mr..
F. P. Brook, and while the situation of af-
fairs gave him an opportunity of elucidat-
ing his peculiarly strange and chimerical
notions before the public, at the same time
inasmuch as it did not bear his signature,
it was the means Of placing the REPUB-
LICAN in a false an unenviable position
in the community. We can indorse none
of the sentiments contained in the article
aforesaid, fully believing that their frui-
ton would bring nothing but chaos, con-
fusion and destruction to society. And
further,,we would say, that the REPUBLIC
AN is far from having any desire to be
considered in the light OF fomenter Of
strife between employers and employees,
and is in no sympathy, whatever, with
those who favor the existence of an irri
tating feeling between capital and labor

CASES CURABI4E.-Dr. Fishblatt and
his assistants never take patients under
their care to cure them when the home
physician can perform it, but receive
such cases as are given up as hopeless by
them. They take no money from patients
unless they are sure of cure, so the pub
lie is safe in the hands of DR.. Fishblatt.
1t will be well to consult him, as he
charges nothing for talk.
