RECENTLY in General Schodeld's division
man who deserted from the army eight years
ago was arrested and tried for that ofense.
The CourtmaItial sentenced him to three years
in the military prison at Fort Leayenworth.
General Schoheld disapproyed the findings Of
the Courtmartial on the ground that the de-
sertion came within those ofenses mentioned
in one Of the articles Of war as lapsing when
two years have interviewed between the com
initial and arrest. General Drum, says the
Washington Critic, has written q letter to
General Schoheld on this question, in which
he called the attention Of that officer to the
TACT that ever since Mr.. Cameron was Secre-
tary Of war it had been the practice Of the de-
Partment 10 regard desertion as continuous
oaense, always punishable, and this action Of
General Drum is regarded as settling ques-
ton about which there has been a good deal
Of discussion in the army.

The reports of race troubles between
whites and blacks over about Marshall are
very conflicting and quite uncertain. On
Saturday night negro named Johnson was
taken from his home and family by party Of
men, and on Sunday morning his body was
found about half mile from Marshall with
three bullet holes in it and a rope around the
neck. He was said to be bad man and a
troublesome character, but beyond that no
other specific charge or crime was brought
against him. Certain parties, who profess to
know, predict that serious trouble will begin
on the Ist Of October all along the line from
Mineola to Shreveport. Such statement, of
course, is simply stuff, and is made by parties
who are worse than agitators. AL this talk
about race troubles has been unnecessary,
foolish and sinful, and the question Of con-
flict is one that is buried in the past. Hot
headed and pot-valiant men on both sides
could precipitale a difficulty that would simply
be massacre, and, barring the widows and
orphans occasioned by it, would settle moth
ing and accomplish nothing A little reason
and common sense on the part Of the officials
in the counties where these troubles are sup
posed to exist could have settled the matter
satisfactorily and completely weeks ago. The
idea Of a conflict is absurd and foolish, and
reflects directly against the guardians Of the
law.

THE commission formed to erect monu-
ment in Berlin to Martin Luther have issued
an appeal for aid. Luther was" say they,
" not only the Inauguration OF a new dispense
ton, who strove for freedom of thought and
the education Of the masses; he was also tran
slator Of the Bible, the creator Of the German
language, and, finally, the first thinker who
called into being that feeling for country to
which the German Empire Of the present day
owes its existence and its greatness As such,
surely he may be admired by all Germans I;
apart from questions Of religion and party,
and without all the bitterness which such dis
.tinctions cause"

The following piece of sine writing" is
from the Austin Statesman "Cld fashioned
Democracy, sSys the Waco Examiner, is again
coming to the front. When it gets there, too,
victories will be won by the party all along
the line. We want true Democracy, which
is, in truth, the old fashioned thing the Ex-
aminsr speaks Of; and we want true and tried
and never wavering Democrats to lead the
hosts. Then they will fight with vim, and
on every banner will perch emblems Of
victory.

THE Georgia Legislature has refused to
pay the expense Of the funeral OF the lac
Governor Stephens. An Atlanta paper says
Relying on the devotion with which he late
Governor served the Safe, and the fact that
he died while in an official position and With
out an immediate family, the State house
officers and citizens Of Atlanta went to con-
siderable expense in giving him fitting burial.
Over 20 military companies were in line at
the funeral, and the coffin was Of the same
pattern as that in which President Garfield
was buried The bill for the payment Of these
expenses has been hanging fire for two months
the Legislators hiPgling over the bills Of
musicians and undertakers until it has grown
into public scandal. Yesterday the House
sat down on the whole affair, leaving the
committees and private individuals to foot the
expenses"

The New York Times, speaking OF the war
made by the Postmaster General on the

people from these robbers, and even the vio-

which apparently in behalf Of thousands Of
good families to whom the lottery company
is very dear, vigorously Delays him and de-
scribes him as the little Indiana god in a
toga, will not be able to drive him from the
field"

when financial assistance Is needed. The as
sassination of Carey provoked their un-

lauded to the skies as avenger Of the men
whom Carey's treacbery threw into the hands
Mr.. Marwood; but now, when the assassin is
in need Of money to pay the expenses Of his

THE Richmond Dispatch predicts that the
Ohio Democracy will get whipped, and gives
its reasons; II Ohio shall prove to be a
Republican State this year, owing to the in
sensate folly of some Of her Democratic lead
ers, then will it become doubly our duty to
carry Virginia for the Democrats. A Demo-
cratic victory in Virginia this year will Offset a
Democratic defeat in Ohio and keep alive in
the hearts Of the Democrats Of every State in
the Union the hope Of grand national triumph
next year.
