SIT is one OF the pecuIIarnies OF the
American people to devote all their
time to business without regard to
health. In this rush for money and
fame. many lives are ruined,
W h, with proper attention and a
timely use of a proper corrective
could De saved. For this purpose
there IS nothing equal to the
''Prickly Ash Bitters." 1t relieves
TIE system of all impurities, purifes
the blood, and, by assisting nature,
restores original health and vigor.

THE MARQUIS OF LoRNE

THE MARQUIS OF L0RNE ha
been proposing, in a magazine ar
ticle, to remedy the Irhh troubles
and it is queer enough, coming
from one SO close to royalty. 1t il
briefly, sthe establishment of foul
provincial parliaments, which shall
|give to the Irish home rule. These
|parliaments are to be for Munster,
Ulster, Leinster and Connaught
each is to consist of two houses, the
members of the upper house to be
elected for six years, and those of
the lower house for two years, and
their powers and duties are to be
confined to local affairs, such as the
imposition and collection Of the poor
rates, school taxes and attachments
for local public improvements and
the maintenance of public order
within the provincial limits. He
would leave undisturbed the Brit
ish administrative machinery of the
island, and would leave to the I'm.
perial Parliament the levying of the
Queens tax and the enact
ment of all general laws for the
Of the island as at pres.
9nt. The Marquis says that the
[rishmen's pride in their local as
emblies would supplant their desire
or a central parliament at Dublin;
hat their taste for electioneering
md for enjoying the power OF the
'allot would be amply gratified by
he frequent elections provided,
nd that those functions OF govern
nent Of which they see and feel the |
esults most directly, being exer.
ised by their own representatives,
hey would have the feeling of gov
rning themselves; while in regard |
D all things vital to English and |
nperial interests matters would re-
lain rs they ara at present. If the
risH were simpletOns and ,cou d be
linded by shadow they might be
ontentei with this scheme,
'hich simply implies the keeping
Y England of all she has, and the
wing to the Irish of the poor priv
:ge of eIecting each other to
orthless Office, and play ing at SELF
,vernment. Perhaps the idea of
10 Marquis is that all that is neces-
~ to make the Irish happy is to
larrel, and he would like to con-
le their q1arrels to themselves
ID to a sphere where they could
ut nobody.

MORE WATER.

Ever since the waterWorks wei
inaugurated there has been talk {
adopting measures for incressin
the supply of water for the pipes
but as yet nothing has been done
Various suggestions ha re been mad
and plans proposed, from openinI
springs in City Greek Canyon t.
constructing dam across the gorge
however, the only feasible and saf'
plan that has been presented is the
one that contemp;ates series OF
reservoirs sunk below the surface.
The other schemes have all been
Objectionable, in one feature OF
another, some of them as danger US,
others as impracticable, and still
others as toO expensive. There
would be general protest, if no! a
legal injunction against a dam
across the canyon, for no bar er
that could be constructed would
inspire feeling of safety
in the people residing within
range Of probable food. five are
not mistaken the last City Com
authorized the construction OF an
underground reservoir above the
site OF the present settling tanks,
though financial provision was not
made for the work. If the improve,
ment is to be completed in time for
this seasons use, operations should
now begin. We believe the WORK
should be prosecuted Immediately,
and trust that the new City Coun-
Gil will take the necessary steps for
carrying out the plan. It seems
short sighted. If not downright folly,
that every season there should be a |
scarcity of wstsr in thu mains, snd |
the authorities be under the neces~
sity OF restricting tbs free use of |
the fluid at a time when it is re~ |
quired most by consumers. I'm |
til the middle CT July |
the supply is abundant,
considerable portion Of the stream
running to waste. By a system Of
tanks similar to those already at the
head of the works, but with q much
larger capacity, the supply may be
during the entire sum
mer, and there need be no occasion |
for the orders restricting the en-
sumption. The coat Of the rese voirs
is the only objection, and this ought
not to interfere to prevent or delay
5heir construction. The corporation
can find no better or more profitable
use for the public funds; every dol
ar invested in the increase Ct the
supply Of pure water is not only a
source OF immediate revenue to the
,ity, but is protection to the health
If the people.
The mains are to be extended two
)r three miles the coming summer,
,ipe having already been received.
This will embrace much new terri>
DRY and greatly increase 1.-THE num-
er of consumers, and the conse-
uence will necessarily be greater ,
sstrict ion than has hitherto been
laced On the consumption In Aug
st and September. To avoid this
et q few thousand dollars now be ,
invested in reservoirs. If the city
haven't the money in the treasury ,
he community will heartily en-
orse the necessary loan. The pres
Mt is good time to do the work, :
7hile material is cheap and Iaborers !;
re anxious to find employment. .
he matter is commended to Mayor j.,
harp and the City Council, in the :
ope that they will find it to be .
heir duty to proceed with this inns :,

DRA1NAGE.-It will be seen from
tue report oil the Parish Treasurer
made to the Police Jury, that there
are funds in all the Drainage Dis
t''cts. Work should begin at as
early a day as possible to begin the
important enterprise OF draining
the low lands in Lafourche. The
funds now on hand, judiciousIy ex
pended, will effect q great deal of
good to the land owners.
These funds IA only be used in
cleaning out natural drains, and it
IS expected that the commissioners
will begin by opening tho most i'm
pOrtant ones.
1t Is believed that, when the logs
DRIFT and weeds are taken out Of
the Bayous that the current will
wash ont all deposits aud give free
egress to the water from the swanps
into tide water.

MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.

On Saturday last the Republicans
were supposed to hold u pow WOW,
and the Superintendent of Parish
Schools WAS contding enough to
let them have the public school
house on Narrow street.
About hundred men assembled,
about three dozen of whom were
the notorious coffee house gang,
Which does nothing but drink and
gamble, and whose highest ambi
ton is free whiskey from candi
'stes. These hoodlums we're about
az. fni, ~ ticks, and carried bottles
besides. ,.."diatcIy the racket
began and 1t was discovered that
the hoodlums had been employed
by what is called the Warren side
ami that the order was to obtain
possession of the hall. After about
an hours cursing, wrane!!ing,t threat
enif3, yelling and howling,. they
succeeded, and the Bailey men bot
being professional shoulder hitters,
were compelled to withdraw. What
followed, beggars description and
one would have thought Pandemo
mum had been let loose. They
drew pistols, screamed, yelled,
blasphemed and committed all
the damage they possibly could.
All the neighborhood complained
about it and it is not likely that
the Superintendent of Public
Schools will ever give them the
use of the school house for another
0rgie.
1t is somewhat remarkable that
whenever the cOlored gentry desire
to have n of their good old blow
outs, white men are carefully ex
Guided. The few white Republicans
with one exception, have for some
time given up attending club meet
ings almost entirely, and him they
regularly put out. On last Satur
day they even refused to put his
name on the roll, and after he left
finding they had not exactly done
what contributed to the legality of
theic meetings, they put his name
on the roll aud voted him, although
he was not present. He says. how
ever, he is not gong back there,
finding that putting out business
too mOnOtOnOus.
The affair is one of the periodical
outbursts of beastliness which ap
pears inherent in certain elements.

Whs Is Voter at O School Election Z
Iufo


We have been requested to give
the law on this subject, and while
we have not room to do so this week,
we will say that our county superin-
tendent informs us that there are
but two paragraphs in the school
law applicable to the question. Sec
tion 1850, in regard to increasing the
levy for maintaining schools, re-
CARDS only taxpayers as voters.
Section 1850, in regard to increasing
taxation for erecting school houses,
only mentions qualified voters"
but does not state what constitutes
qualified voter. 1t is the opinion of
the superintenden. and also of the
county clerk that only taxpayers
are qualified voters at school elec-
tions. We presume that a short an
swer to this question, aud one that
win cover the ground fully, would
be that qualified voter at school
election is person who is qualified
to vote at political convention,
with the further restriction that he
must be taxpayer in the school dis
trict in which he offers to vote.
This answer raises the question as to
what constitutes taxpayer. Is the
voter whe pays a poll tax in his dis
trict? We think he is. In the ab-
sence Of law expressly stipulating
the kind Of tax to be paid, we think
that poll tax or dog tax or road tax
10 sufficient to constitute taxpayer

School District Plan Discussed.

WORCESTER, Mo-, April l4.-There is
one thing pertaining to the politics of this
county to which some of US down in this
part OF the moral vineyard wish to enter
our protest against, that is the mode for
nominating candidates for county officers
known as the school district plan. have
talked with as many as dozen neighbor-
ing Democrats and find that they all agree
with me that this plan Is anything but
fair and calculated to carry out the wishes
OF the voters. We do not consider any
thing fair in elections that gives the dele
gate in the county convention who Is
sent there by ten men as much voice and
/ strength as the delegate who is sent there
by twenty men. In 1882, our district,
the Dye school house, had about twenty
nve or thirty Democratic voters in it,
while in some of the districts adjoining
ours but half that number attended the
meetings to choose delegates, yet these
delegates had just the same strength in
the convention that ours had. Laddonia,
in Prairie township, also had, with five
times as many voters as any school dis
trict in the same township, just the same
representation in the convention that any
one district had. What right has school
district with five Democratic voters and
twenty-five Republican voters to have
the same vote in a Democratic county
convention that district with five Re-
publican voters and twenty-five Demo-
cratic voters? This plan gives the dele
gate to an equal number of inhabitants
: sometimes, but not to an equal number of
Democratic voters. You have only to
look at the plan carefully to see that a
number of delegates who represent a mi
nority in the convention may make all of
the nominations. Nobody will say that
anything like that Is Democratic. There
is nothing like the primary election that
gives every man chance to say Just who
he wants for fair expression. Let every
candidate have fair chance at the peo-
pie and every voter have fair chance at
the candidate and then "the longest pole
will knock the persimmon."
