When man is about to buy his clothing
it is first necessary that he should have con-
fidence in the house he deals with. He should
then satisfy himself with regard to the prices
after which he has but to exercise his judg-
ment in making his selections. Buyers who
visit the Eagle Clothing House of HAHN q
MEYER are never disappointed concerning
these important points. Perfectly honest
and fair dealing is their infexible business
principle, and their prices are the lowest, and

ers will find their stock amply large to select

Poll TAX and How Collected.
IMindsn Tribube-Dsmocrat.]


Several gentlemen interested in
the public schools in the parish have
asked us il there was no way pro-
vided by law to enforce the payment
Of the poll tax Section 81 Of Act
s6 of 1882 seems to have been in
tended especially for that purpose.
1t reads as follows:
.Be Il enacted, ETC., Tint. the tax
collector or sheriff, is authorized 10
cell any growing or gathered crops,
or shares therein; and to proceed in
the same courts to procure the gar
nishment If any salary, compenea-
ton, or reward for personal services,
or OF any obligations, rights, credits
or debts, due TO the tax debtor, ar in
any form whatever, whenever such
seizure or garnishment may be Dec-
essary to collect the taxes assessed;
and no deposit for costs shall be re-
quired in such cases."
This clause gives ample power 10
enforce the payment of poll tax in
most cases. 1t gives the right 10
garnishee wages or salary, or debt OF
any sort. We hope the sheriff will
begin to execute this law this fall
without favor or affection, for the
present year and three years back
taxes. Let the sheriff begin alpha
betically and we verify believe that
most OF these poll tax payers win
come up and pay TO save costs, but
i they do not let him proceed stead
lily on to the end. .

writing from Montgomery to the
Natchitoches Review, in relation to
prohibition in Grant parish, and
speaking of those among us who go
to extra trouble to get whisky, says:
Eve find that they now use only a
small quantity, which they bring
from the other iNatchitoches) side
If they had to seud to New Orleans
to have jugs filed, large per cent
age would do without" This is the
condition of affairs in Grant parish
in nut shell. If Natchitoches will
adopt prohibition aud close ND the
rum shops opposite Colfax and Mon,-
gomery it will virtually put an epd
to drunkenness within our borders
The past six months have been the
most peacable and orderly ever
known in this parish. and we guar
antee that if Natchitoches will oply
give it trial for six months, as Grant
has. the good people of that parish
will never allow the blight of whisky
selling to be carried on again within
tue borders Of old NatchitocLes.

knos,y Case.
mo. Picayune]

IL mas Deen long settled that man
may contest for shilling and get a
thousand pounds worth of law.
Sometimes it happens that though
the sum involved is insignificant, the
principle at issue is Of immense i'm
portance, and the couyts can afford
to give it an exhaustive consideration.
A case liz point is now before the
fourteen judges OF the English court
for "the Consideration OF Grown
Cases Reserved" and, as it is rather
knotty one, we will state it briefly
for the benefit OF moot-courts and
debating societies.
Ore Ashwell asked q friend to lend
him shilling, and the latter gave
him what both supposed to be a shil-
ling, but which was in reality q SOW
ereign. The mistake was natural, AZ
the transaction occurred after dark;
but when the lender discovered it he
demanded restitution. The borrower
refused, saying that as he only bor-
rowed one shilling he was not bound
to return twenty. The result was
trial for larceny. The defense claim
ed that 'there could be no larceny
within the meaning of the law with
out guilty knowledge and criminal
intent at the time Of The taxing of the
thing in dispute" The prosecution, |
on the other hand, contended that
although one may get possession OF !
another's goods by mistake and not |
intention, he is nevertheless guilty OF |
larceny il, after he discovers his mis-
take and after the owner has de- |
manded his property. he refuses to |
restore such goods. /
The trial judge referred the ones
ton to the court of five judges; but |
they divided, and the matter went
mp to the full bench, where it was
again argued. Lord Coleridge an.
nounces that in view of the great
importance of the case the court will
take time to prepare a careful opin-
ION. The lay reader may wonder
Why so much learning and SO much
lime are required to decide so simple
: question. But the question Of law
involved is not simple. It is, indeed, |,
perfectly clear that Ashweil is q dis
honest man, and it is safe to aay that
De deserves punishment. But the |
aw does not punish q man for gen.
.ral dishonesty It is necessary to
iefine some specific aci of dishonesty |
With scientific precision. You cannot
ny man for one offense and punish .
Inn for another. Now Ashwell was
ried for larceny, and the whole ques-t
ION is, whether that term is tech
'Ically correct as definition of his ,
'iense. Larceny is "the felonious ,
akIng and carrying away of the per /
onai goods of another" No felony
an be committed unconsciously But
hen Ashwell received the sovereign
e honestly supposed it to be only q 4
billing. He took it and carried It :
way in perfect innocence, so far as !,
hat transaction was concerned. The !,
hing was actually in. his possession !,
ef"re the first guilty intention en- 4
cred his mind. True, he used what
as not his own, he parted with what
as not his own; but was that lar
any? For our part, we will reserve
mr. opinion until We have heard from
re fourteen judges of ''tbe Court
u the Consideration of Grown
asses Reserved.

/ Rev. Sam Jones is regarded BY
some people as disgustingly vulgar
and his language in the pulpit often
blasphemous. Others regard him as
thinker whose homely phrases and
striking metaphors convey the
thoughts OF a profound philosopher
and fearless moral reiormer. Here
are specimens of bis pulpit sayings:
"Many good christians sleep SO
sound that the devil can come up
and saw off their heads with dull
case-knife before they wake"
"a lie is always Oh the down
grade, but the truth you have to
bitch an engine to-"
Il can get along better With most

with whisky on his breath is the
biggest fool in the world, except the
one that stirs his toddy for him
after he is married"
