Suppression Of Crime.

The Daily States, in an able editorial
on the above subject, calls especial
attention to the insuficiency Of the
powers Of the Recorders in the city Of
New Orleans, to dispose of criminals
for the various small violations Of law,
such as carrying concealed weapons,
petty larceny, assault and battery, dis
turbing tue peace, and keeping disor-
derby houses. And says, "the stereO
typed sentenee of $25, or thirty days
has no longer any terror for the viO-
laters of the law, and the criminal who
is unable to pay the fine feels that he
will have comfortable quarters and an
easy time during the period Of his i'm
prisonment." But such apupishment
is not available in the country parishes
for similar crimes without tho parishes
being mulcted in heavy expenses to
tally inadequate to the good done. As
our contemporary says: 1.-The law, as
it stands now, is defective and utterly
powerless to accomplish the-purposes
for which it was designed That a
"wider scope" must be given to Jns-
tees Of the Peace in the parish is one
of the fit subjects for Legislators at
our next session, and i" discretionary
power to fine, imprison, sentence 10
labor, or all three fora period of three
months and a penalty to the amount
of S100, must be given to Justicesof
The Peace. Because, as orr contem-
posary says, with some such penal
code in force, the roNdy and hoodlum
elementtthe violators of the law will
consider the serious consequences Of
their crimes" aed not before.

Commissioners TO the ExPOsi-
ti0m

Every State and Territory in the
Union, with the exception of New
Jersey, has already appointed commits
sioners to the Exposition, and all of
them are now at work preparing and
collecting the exhibits their several
States will make. The class of gen.
I.iIemcn appointed to these positions,
and the zeal with which they have
entered upon their duties, assure full
displays from every portion of the
country that will render the Exposi-
tion truly national in every respect.
We are glad to notice that West
Baton Rouge has started the EXPOSE
ton work in that parish so energeti-
cally. a complete organization has
been effected and committee ap-
pointed, which will meet regularly at
the Court House, and take steps to
see that West Baton Rouge will be
well represented. Each ward will be
thoroughly canvassed forexhibits, and
especially for cane, cotton, rice and
all fora! agricultural and hortieultH.
ra products; labor-saving machinery,
articles of woman's work, etc. The
police jury has already made an ap-
preparation to help along this good
work; and subscription books have
been opened. In fine, the movement
has been most auspiciousIy and intel
gently inaugurated in West Baton
Rouge, and the other parishes cannot
do better than to follow its procedure
and example.
The above clipping from the Times
Democrat is, we think, suggestive as
to what should be our guide in this
Exposition matter, and we copy it,
therefore, in order that in etfecting
our organization, we may all 60 about
it more inteligentIy We want to
see every thing done that can be done
to give our parish, people and indus
tries full show at this Exposition,
and what little expense we incur in
doing so will como back to us aO &C,
crued wealth Our parish has been, in
years past, the repntcd poorest and
almost forsaken spot of the State, and
only serving as the home and reEdez-
vous Of outlaws and now we have a
grand opportunity Of proving beyond
cayiI the falsity Of such representa-
tons and further, that we have as
good and better parish for the poor
and industrious than almost any other
in the State, and that our population
is as iaw-aOiding, christian-like, IN
dustrious and endowed with an equal
average Of intelligence a. any other
section of the world.

Governor of Louisiana


Nj. William Mehle has received the
following circular letter from New
York, dated February 80, 1884:
''In view of the indiscriminate de-
strnction of small alligators, az well
as the large ones, for the purpose of
getting their skins, and the small
skins being entirely useless, we, the
manufacturers of bags and yalises,
satchels, etc, agree among ourselves
to refuse TO buy any skins that will
moi measure five feet in length, and
that a notice Of our intention be pub
lisled so that the hunters may know
our purposes. The main object we
have in view isto prevent the annihi-
lation of the alligator and secure the
future supply Of desirable skins"
We copy the above from the New
Orleans 1inaes-DemOerat and publish
itfor the information of our alligator
hunters. 1t takes years for an alIga-
tor to grow five feet long, and as an
alligator lays from 90 to IS eggs at a
time, it is 10 be seen that if they are
albeit alone until that length is &C
qpired our State would swarm with
young ones.
