Brnvndo OF the Accused mngtstrate-Wit-
nesses Arrested for Perjury.
New ORLEANS. La, Feb. 5.-The town
is terribly excited over the trial Of the
Hon. Thomas J. Ford, Police Magistrate,
and four others, three Of them city officials,
for tho assassination OF Captain A. II. MUIR
ply. The trial is now on It's seventh day
and tho defense now holds the court. The
feeling is intensified by the brayado of
Ford, who declares that he will be back on
the bench in his own court next week,
and then he will paint the town red. The
Jury is regarded as having been made up
In Ford's interest. To-day five witnesses
for the defense were arrested for perjury
by order OF the District Attorney.
Tonight at the meeting OF the City
Council Mayor Guillotte submitted mes
sage in which he calls attention to the
trial OF the Ford party, now in progress,
and says: II have done what my duty
prompted me 10 do--announced TO the
Chief OF Police that Judge Ford and the
other city employees implicated in this
most horrible Of horrible murders-had
been suspended from duty. l now All.
nounce 70 you in the name ot the citizens
OF New Orleans that you, are called upon
and are expected 10 ID your duty as stle
legislative branch Of the City Government.
You must act, and act promptly. All con.
siderations Of past friendly relations with
the cuiprits should be set aside and de.
sire to maintainor re.establish the ereputa-
ton OF the city for quiet, order, and peace
should alone actuate each OF you. God
forbid that native of Louisiana and an
official OF It's Governments should overlook
or hesitate. to declare in unmeasured
terms his repngnance. TO such afro
cities. During the mest law!ess
period OF tho history Of our own
State, when for every imaginary ahront
tho duelio was invoked by the humbiest
OF its citizens, no crime OF the magnitude
or possessing the reyolting features OF the
one The subject of this communication was
4ever heard OF. No case OF killing in the
criminal records OF the world for which
men and women have been hanged shows
less provocation and more premeditation
than this. My desire Is to have our City
Government yindicated and TO assure the
citizens OF New Orleans that the city au.
thorities are anxious 10 preserve order
within It's precincts and are earnest in the
prosecution Of criminals, be they whom
The Mayor then formally charges Ford
and his officers with conspiracy to murder
Murphy, and with concentrating that
conspiracy In having with malice killed
said Murphy,the killing having been done
in lie daytime, on the public streets, with
firearms, and while Murphy was retreat

TnS iSrElli1ESrEn is glad to know that
the friends Of co.education in the Univer-
sity are not asking for any additional ap-
propriation to put into operation the pro-
posed new departure. They are willing
that the experiment shall be made with
out any cost to the State. The buildings
arc there, the professors are there-some
Ofthem ought not to be there-almost
everything is there except good manage
ment and attendance.
It's significant tl.at tie move for al ex-
appropriation for co-education comes
FROM those who are opposed to it and are
trying to defeat the bill. Their plan OF
action seems to be to load the measure
with the unpopularity Of more money"
aud with this milestone about its neck to
dmwn It out oil sight. The opposition in
the Board OF Regents assumes this guise
in the Legislature.
Unless the University shall be opened
TO Obtth sexes the question Of appropria-
ton nlay assume another and decidedly
heroic phase. On the present basis the
University docs not justify It's cost. In
seventeen years it has graduated ninety
three students at cost OF S25O,000-over
S.,GOO per capita. Last year the institu-
ton hal ninety.six students, forty-nine in
the Preparatory Department and forty
seven in the University proper. It cost
SELDOM to run the concern. Asa business
proposition this does not pay.
There are 94OOO young women In the
State between the ages OF sixteen and
tweaty-one-very abundant material to
draw upon. How many OF them would
attend the University cannot be foretold
probably sery few of them unless the
University were cleaned out and iumi-
gated. Az matter Of right md justice to
the young women, and as the last hope
for the institution, the doors ought to be
thrown wide open.

tertained. There is no serious difficulty
about It. The 1fahdi's forces will fall L
pieces OF themselves; but II in . moment
Of panic orders are issued for the aban
donment OF the whole OF the Eastern Sou
dan, q blow will be struck against the Sc
curity Of Egypt and the peace OF the East
which may have fatal consequences.
1.-THE great evil Is not at Khartoum, but
at Cairo. It Is the weakness Of Cairo
which produces disaster in the Soudan,
IT is because Hicks was not adequately
supported at the first, but was thrust for
ward upon an impossible enterprise by the
men who had refused him supplies when
q decisive blow might have been struck,
that the Western Soudan had been sacri-
feed. The Eastern Soudan may, however,
be saved II there is firm hand placed OF
the helm in Egypt. Everything depends
on that.
at should be proclaimed in the hearing
OF all The Soudanese, and engraved on
tables OF brass, that . apetmanent Consti-
tuition was granted TO the Soudanese by
which no Turk or Circassian would ever
be allowed TO enter the province to plum
der Its inhabitants in order TO I'll his owa
pockets, and that no immediate emanci-
patton Of slaves would be attempted. I'M
mediate emancipation was denounced in
1888 as confscation in England, and II is
no less coniiscation in the Soudan to-day.
"As to the cost OF the Soudan, II is a
mistake to suppose that 1t will necessarily
be q charge on the Egyptian Exchequer.
II willcost two millions to relieve the gar
risons and toquell the revolt; but that ex.
penditure must be incurred any way and
In all probability, II the garrisons are
handed over to be massacred and the
country evacuated, the ultimate expendi-
ture would exceed that sum.
1.-THE cause OF the rising in the Soudan
is the cause Of all popular rising against
Turkish rule wherever they have occurred.
That the people were justified in rebelling
nobody who knows the treatment to
which they were subjected, will attempt
to deny. Their cries were absolutely un-
needed at Cairo. In despair they had re-
course 10 the only method by which they
could make their wrongs known; and, on
the same principle that Absalom fired the
corn OF Joab, so they rallied round the
Mahdi, who exhorted them to revolt
against the Turkish yoke. Lam convinced
that 1t Is an entire mistake to regard the
Mahdi as in any sense a religious leader
he personities popular discomfort.
"The Soudanese are very nice people.
They deserve the sincere compassion and
OF all civilized men. l got on
very well with them, and ! am sincerely
sorry at the prospect OF seeing them
handed over TO be ground down once more
by theirTurkish and Circassianoppressors.
Yet, unless an attempt is made to hold on
10 the present garrison, it is inevitable
that The Turks, for the sake OF self preser-
vation, must attempt TO crush them. They
deserve better fate"
