Fencing the Railroad.

The police jury of Lafayette parish,
has passed the following ordinance:
Considering that by the laws Of
tins police jnly every owner is re
quired to fence in his property, and
that cattle are fully permitted to roam
now in order to remove any doubts
that NAV he entertained as TO the duty
Of any one citizen or corporation Of
any kind to abide Ivy the general law
relative 10 fencing, and to insure the
safety of trains and prevent collisions
SO far as legislation may do it, be
tween trains and stock.
1t is resolved and ordained hv the
police jury of the parish OF Lafayette,
that any railroad company owning Il
railroad within the limits of this par
ish, is bound and required to fence
IN lis road.
And TO carry said ordinance into
execution it is ordained, That when
ever said road intcrsects fields in cnI-
tlvation said fence shall be put mp
within three months from the promul-
CATION of tins ordinance and all else
where within four months from this
date.
Be it further ordained, That when
ever any stock may be killed or MAIN
ed on the track left nnincIoscd, the
company shall pay double the full
value of the stock so killed or MANNED
10 the owner.
Whenever the owner Of the land
may require any gate IN the fence for
his own convenience he will be re
CURED to attend to the opening and
shifting of said gates.
We ask of our District Attorney, if
he thinks this kind of police legisIa-
tion will hold wafer upon a judicial
test And if it will, we hope our
police jury will take similar action.

A Shame and A Disgrace.

State Railroad Engineer BritlOn,
Of Texas, has made report and says:
ale suggests that the State Engineer
be empowered to have any trestle
work or bridges removed that he may
decide upon 10 be replaced by perma-
nent structures, and that with four
exceptions, all the passenger depots in
Texas are Inadequate in size and I'M
clean, and those at Sherman, Austin,
Houston and Beaumont are a Disgrace
to the roads, and an outrage upon the
travelling public"
We have, from time TO time, made
allusion to the want of aecOmmoda-
ton for freight and passengers on our
road, but We can't observe that our
wishes have even attracted the atten-
ton Of our company. From Yer
miiionyillc to the Sabine river, over loo
miles, there is not a single passenger
room, and except the limited freight
room here, there is not even a shelter
for freight at many of the stations.
Hraihoad companies arc TO be deemed
public carriers ia this State, and arc
bonnd by any legal, moral Or equit-
able obligations for the franchises
granted, the obligations should be en-
forced. If we have no law on our
Statute books which will compel them
to furnish accommodations TO the
public, then it is time our Legislators,
to be elected, take note of this and
refer to it ut the next session of the
Legislature
We would like to know what has
become Of Act No. - Of the session
of 1882, which cempels our railroads
To have erected, necessary danger nets
near their over truss bridges! At all
events there is no snch net on our
bridges.
Really the arrogance of orr rail
road companies is becoming Disgrace
full and y shame to our bpastell oivili-
zation, aud disgusting to those who
travel without afree pass.

The German Telegraph and the
indianapolis Daily Sentinel, puts forth
the Hon. Jos Z. Mcdonald, of In
diana, for President, in the following
words: The Telegraph says Jos. +.
Mcdonald, ex-senator of the Senate,
a statesman of spotless record and of
liberal views, a man who knows and
appreciates the views of life charac-
teristic of the German nationality.
and friend of the Germans, in short
of all the aspira ITS for the Presidency,
he is the one whose candidacy will,
we are firmly convinced, be by far
the strongest and would most Ger
tainIy lead to a brilliant victory. The
Sentinel says: We have no besita-
ton in saying that Jos. Z. Mcdonald
is the choice of the Democratic voters
of Indiana for the Presidency. X
The election of Mcdonald will be
nay, already is-the assured triumph
of the great conservative, common
sense and real business interests of
the people over the prejudiees and
passions of the recent past 1t means
the end of that dynasty WHICH takes
the wages of labor, and by the leger-
delnain of congressional enactment
pours them qnearncd into the lap of
monopoly.

| The most heinaus crimes have bee
committed and the lives Of many o
our best citizens have been sacrifice,
BY the law against carrying conceal
ed weapons being impotcnt to stop II
The law sayS:
"Whoevsr shall he convicted befor
any court Of competent jurisdiction o
carrying concealed weapons, shall pa
u fihe of not more than $500, and b,
imprisoned tora lime not exceeding
three months"
But how many convictions for this
crime have been made under this law
and even when convictions have oc
Cured, how nnany penalties have beer
levied; that is, of such penalties as
would be of such effect as to cause
the law to BE- feared aud respected,
They are few, We can say safely; but
that the violations have been many,
we can say with even more safety.
The habit acquired by our Young
people of carrying pistols and knives,
originates ont of the example set by
the Older ones, and unless stopped by
them, it cannot be- supposed that the
Young peonle will stop and set them
the example.
That We need more Legislation on
this subject, SO as 10 make this viola
ton of the law and numbering Of peo-
pie one punishable to an extent that
will have for its fruits fear and due
regard for human life, no one, who is
a good. law abiding citizen, will deny.
While liquor is considered one of the
master evils of the age, and its prohibi-
ton has crept into society, and is
being 10 a considerable extent incoF-
porated into the organic law of
number of our States, and Il political
party has been evolved with 4 prohi-
ton plank in its platform, how is it,
that this concealed weapon crime,
which is just as bad, if not worsc, and
the violation of which is Just as COM
mon as taking n drink of whisky in a
public saloon, has been overlooked
The cause, we think, is in the defect
of the law, when it says ''you may
kill your best friend in self defense /
This right of "self defense" as has
been recognized by our jurics, is one |
Of the spontaneous gruwths Of de
fectlvc law to stop carrying concealed |
weapons. Because, if neither party to .
