ROBBERY.-On last Wednesday
robbers entered the house of VALERIE
Roger, situated at the rear end of
Canal street. and carried of about
$115.O0. There were several pieces
of jcwelry in the purse with the
money, but they were not taken.
This makes three times that Ro.
ger has been robbed in about two
years. 1t is a pity that there are
no bankers or merchants in Thibo
daux, with whom this unfortunate
man could deposit his money.

The PUBLIC SCHOOLS. - Com
plant is frequently made about the
short duration of the public schools
of this Parish.
On June 80, 1888 there were in
the Treasury At Baton Rouge to
the credit of the school fund 4 sum
of $S6,4O6,44.
Why is this money not distribu
ted according to lawi
The School Board of New Or
leans obtained, last Fall % cents
per head for each educable child in
that city. The Parish School
Boards were entitled to the same.
But when the City Board was
paid, an error was discovered in
the Treasurer's Office which being
corrected reduced that distribution
about one half. The City Board
was asked to refund it in order to
have a just distribution. 1t re
fused. When there came into the
Treasury enough money to give the
Parish School Boards % cents per
head 90 as to equalize the pro rata
payments the immaculate School
Board of New Orleans sued out an
Injunction prohibiting the Auditor
from issuing warrants for any such
purpose. This suit of the City
Board to gobble up tue money that
belongs to the Parish School
Boards, locks " that amount until
the Supreme Court will. settle the
matter.
The Auditor has decided to pay
out what may be on hand, above
the sums thus locked mp, New Or
leans of course receiving her pro
rata iu the distribution.
By this attempted plundering of
the money that belongs to the Par
ish School Boards, Lafourche has
been deprived Of about two months
schooling for her children in 1883.
This peculiarly honest transac
ton of the City Board is in full
keeping of the other scheme of hav
ing the Tulane donation exempted
from taxation for which deficiency
the Parishes will have to pay in
creased taxes.

SEAkCHING FOR 10! THE
POOR INDIAN.

Some mornings ago, three enter
prising boys of Thibodaux left their
home, in search of some strange
country in which bold adventures
could be made, that would cover
them with renown, and get their
photographs in red, green aud blue
colors in the Police Gazette, there to
attract the admiration. and secure
the praise of astouished mankind.
Crossing the ferry, at Thibodaux,
as the majestic sun was rising be-
hind the moss covered Cypress for
est in tho East, aud shaking the
dust from their bare feet, they pro
ceeded down the bayou, with ban
ners flying from the seats of their
breeches, in the morning breezes.
One of them was armed with a
piece of his mothers clothes line with
which to iasso the bold savage OF
the mountain, the second carried a
c0rkscrew with which to draw the
crimson gore from the captured
braves, and the third boldly exhibi
ted a barlow knife to whisk off the
hairy scalp from "Lo" which would
hang to his belt as q trophy of his
mighty powers when he returned
from his adventurous exploration.
Their first idea was to capture the
morning train from Texas. but as
the cowboys put their ferocious look
ing faces out Of the windows Of 1.-THE
Car, their courage failed. As the
train moved of they concluded that
more adventures we're to be met on
foot aud thus proceeded down the
railroad track.
An irate brother of one of the
bold explorers learning the direc
ton they had taken, pursued and
overlook them some six or eight
miles below Thib0daux made them
face right about, and foot it home
again.
Had their parents and guardians
given each of them a judicious ap
plicatiou of 16 ounces of unadulte
rated peach oil, in such places as
would have done the most good,
they would have awakened on the
morning Of the Fourth, lin a splendid
humor tO enjoy the festivities Of
that glorious day.

DISTRIBUTING DORSEY.

Apropos of the second batch of New
York SIN Dorsey revelations, it may
he said that the most profoundly TN
consequential utterance that ut pres.
ent can fall from human lips in this
country Is that which comes from the
lips OF eX- Senator Dorsey His power
to help or mar the reputation of any
public man Is gone unless lie furnishes
unmistakable corroborating proof OF
his assertions. Curiosity is scarcely
excited by what lie has to say now
Globe Democrat.
A discriminating public will hardly
take this view ofthe case, His utterances
can not be "pooh-poohed" out of the
way in the nonchalant manner as.
suned by the paper that once found
the English. lan.sun Q too poor to fifty
sound his praises. True it is, that his
long connection with the party OF
great moral ideas" Is calculated to
throw some discredit upon his
testimony. But the evil
dence Of the deepest vii
liam is accepted by the courts when
I NNiibbpioNcN ny bttiNl tNiNtuNS. ippi
I sey's revelations contain nothing that i
new--nothing that has not been heard
4 before. His testimony only makes
/ conclusive that which was before be.
/ lieved by every unbiased man in the
couAtry who was acquainted with tn,
\ circumstances. He asserts his power
to furnish documentary evidence OF
all charges made against the dead, an6
/ gives the names of living witnesses to
/ prove the charges made against tn,
/ living. He gives such names as Nor
TON, BLISS, NEW, DUDLEY, ,CoNKLINo
and PLATr, all prominent, living Re
1 publicans. Thus far--and ther has
\ been ample time none of them
have spoken word of denial
and Mr.. DORSEY tells them thai
/ when they make the denial he will
furnish the proof of the truth of what
4 he says.
The fact that DORSEY has been tried
for IA high crime against the govern.
ment does not destroy his evidence en-.
tirely. The jury said he was innocent
and he stands to-day free man. His
utterances contain no ambiguity
They are plain, explicit and pointed.

blance of a difficulty occurring Oh
Mexican territory between the citizens
of the two nationalities is msgnified
by the anti-Mexican party in Texas
into gross outrage upon Americans,
and calling for national interference.
From personal observation as well rs
the expression Of intelligent Americans
who have recently travelled extensively
in Mexico-.Americans who conduct
themselves properly and show 10y their
department that they are gentlemen
are Hospitality entertained and kindly
treated by the Mexican people. That
lawlessness frequently occurs In that
country as 1t does in the United States
cannot be denied, but that general
and intense hatred exists generally
amongst the people of Mexico against
Americans. and everything American IS
controverted by the fact OF the gener-
Gus aid extended and being extended
to American enterprise inaugurated in
Mexico by the general government" "
What authority the writer has for the
bold assertion that there is a prepon-
dering element in Texas, favorable to
war with Mexico he is careful not
ia state. What advantage Texas
would derive from a war with Mexico,
IL Is difficult to conceive. Texas is
prospecting as no country ever pros
pered. II is blessed with plenty OF
business, good crops, plenty of money,
in fact every reasonable and desirable
good--a war with Mexico would be oi
no real or imaginary benefit. The
G.-D's. correspondent evidently has as
vivid an Imagination as he ascribes to

Anoir TILE STRIKE.

In another column appears we'll
written aud temperate article on this
subject from the Chicago Litcr-O cedR.
1t must appear to the candid mind
that the backbone of the strike is
broken, and that the company has and
will manage to get along and transact
its business without the aid of its for
mer e,nploves. This. like other strikes,
is evidently the result of unwise coun-
sells and hasty, ill-advised action. The
leaders precipitated it and entered
upon it without accurately COM
putting the cost and the diff
ficulties attendant upon it. The offices
all over the country are being filed up
with men who can manage the bust
ness with little more experience,
which experience they are rapidly ac-
quiripg. The most that can be said of
Il continuation OF the strike, is that it
will continue the Inconvenience, and
that all danger of loss or damage to
business has past. The country has
learned what is valuable lesson TO it,,
that it can get along reasonably
well with less telegraph service
1 than it has been accustomed to use,
and the business aud commerce of the
country moved along successfully a
before the strike. The proposition o
the company To treat with the striker:
ascindividuals Is just and reasonable
The grievance was from the beginning
n personal one, and should have beer
treated a3 such-each man as his cir
cumstances dictated and justified. Thu
GAZETTE opposes all strikes on princi
pie rs being damaging to employef ant
employee, and rs settling nothing he
tween them. We hope that the strik
ing operators, for their own sakes
and for the sakes of their families, will
cut loose from secret organization
and pursue the course that ever,
man should, act independently AM
for his own interests.

THE nastiness of mineral water Is its
most distinguishing feature. Any
water that smells bad and tastes worse,
is at once set up as containing medici-
nal properties adequate to the cure OF
all the ills that human flesh is heir to.
II IL therefore the most rational thing
in the world that Mrs. THOMPSON, OF
Brooklyn, should have drank a bottle
of carbolic acid instead of her favorite
medicinal water, Carbolic acid does
not smell or taste worse than the
average mineral water, aud while IL
kills more quickly 1t may not be any
more certain for aught the world may
know of the numerous beverages that
are manufactured, labeled and sold fol
