The Kansas Husbands Murder
now exciting such a sensation speci-
ally at Emporia, Kansas, the scene of
the occurrence, is being discussed from
various phases. The prevailing theory
is that when a wife is in i'll health,
suffering from nervous exhaustion or
otherwise deranged in the delicate
organs peculiar to her sex, the best
course is to use regularly Creole Fee
male Tonic, the great regulator, and
Ngoman's best friend. F

The white citizens of this county
want the privilege of selecting the
white officials, and they would be
willing to concede to the blacks the
privilege of selecting the colored Off
cials in proportion to the intelligent
and capable among them. But the
colored people defeat themselves by
blindly and stupidity following Beck
and Company. AS long as the negroes
stick to wife Radical bosses, the
whites will nominate and elect a
straightout white ticket.

LOUISIANA


convicted at the trial of February 2s
and sentenced to death on March 10
On May 18th the Supreme Court hat
confirmed the judgment. Gov. Nc
Emery, in view of these, fixed Friday
November l3, between - and
o'clock in The afternoon MS the time
when they should be hung by thu
neck until dead.
When the death sentence was men
toned tremor passed over Murphy
This was all the sign he gave. Pal
Ford listened until the last word was
uttered and the bookclosed. He kept
his head down and rubbed his own
chin, saying only "bad."
The prisoners looked around them
AT such a moment all eyes reflected
sympathy, and Ford lowered his head
again, and with one hand again ner-
vously rubbing his chin remarked
"Gentlemen, it's awful hard TO die
so young"
Murphy shook his head in acquies-
cence.
Ford and Murphy shook hands with
sheriffs and reporters. They asked
the latter to excuse them from an in
tervicw, as their feelings were such
that they could not speak.
"Have you heard from your brother,
the Judge, latelyF p asked one of the
reporters of Pat Ford.
"OnIy indirectly. / saw by the
Picayune's Baton Rouge interview
that he was deeply moved on account
of our death warrant being issued"
Ford and Murphy then went back
to their cells and were left alone with
their thoughts, They were not un-
prepared for the reading of the war
rants. They read in Wednesday
mornings papers that the documents
had been signed and the date of hang
ing fixed.
The parting from Judge Ford, Caul-
field and Buckley, when they went to
the Penitentiary, was the first blow
which seemed to work great change
in the condemned men. The fixing
of the hanging has added 10 their
suffering, and it is said that they took
the news hard.
Ford is daily eonsoled by his wife
and five children, who come to see
him. Judge Ford's wife is also
daily visitor They supply tho men
with delicacies and do all they can to
ameliorate their condition. Murphy
has faithful sweetheart, to whom he
was engaged to be married before the
crime of the murder was thought of,
aud she is one of the earliest and never
failing visitors to the prison. Ice and
everything else she can bring she
brings joyfully, and does all that a
woman can for the man in the CON
demned cell-all for the sake of love.
Pat Ford's last request, before TAX
ing leave of the reporters, was that
the papers do not "Growd" him.

i WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.
The New York World to-day has a
donble.leaded editorial which is caus-
ing an immense sensation. 1t is a
square, out-spoken attack ON Cleve-
lands policy. The World has been
preparing for the break quite elabor-
atoly and has several times given warn
ing of its intention. To-day the match
was applied and the first rumble of
the conflict broke upon the air, The
article is a full column in length and
need not be quoted entire. Tho fol-
lowing extract will Indicate its drift
and tenor:
president Cleveland is now out Of
the woods and back at his post of
duty he renews bis labors with an
improved constitution, for the pure
air has blown away any seeds Of ma
laria he may have received at WASH
ington, aud rest has given him IN
creased strength. Why would not
this be good time for the admins
tration to get out Of the woods, politi-
cally, and to show that the meditation
fostered by the peaceful occupation of
fishing and by nights passed in the
silence of the forest has blown away
mugwumpism with malaria, and in
dueed serious reflection ON the obliga-
tions which an administration elected
by great historical party owes to
that party n
A prominent Democrat said tonight;
II wonder If Eustis wrote that article.
If he didn't write it he certainly in
spired il, for the whole burden of his
complaint against the President has
been that he is ignoring his obliga
tons to the party which elected him.
The difference between Eustis and
other straight-out Democrats, is that
he has had the courage to say aloud
what they are whispering in their
sleeves; but now the World has come
out and Joined the Sun in denouncing
Oleveland's mugwump affiliations.
Who knows how soon the other Dem
ocratic papers will follow suit, and
leave the President, confessedly where
he is, in fact, to the lonesome sympa-
thies of the Independent Republi-
eanss"
Political circles are all agog with
the matter tonight. The World arti
Gle is elaboratcly polite, but it is an
unmistakable arraignment of the Pres
ident's policy, and it is double-leaded
to make it conspicuous. The signifi-
eanee of the article lies in a somewhat
contemptuous comparison between
Cleveland and Jefferson, and speaking
of jefferson it says; "He had been
the founder of the party as well as its
acknowledged leader. He believed
in a permanent tenure and a non-par-
tisan service. Did he On that account
ignore his obligations to the party
Not at all. He strengthened it by |
giving it fair share of the offices,
not for its drones and donkeys, but
for its most active and ablest members. |
Did he consider that he owned the |
partyl Not at all. He admitted that
the party owned him by advancing its
principles and strengthening its organ
ization as far as he could consistently
with his duty to the whole country
Whether this is the opening gun of
a determined revolt il cannot be pro
phesied, but il is certainly very excit-
ing literature and IS SO esteemed here,

THE DEATM WARRANT.
Pat Ford and John Murphy
Receive the Official NOtifica-
tiOn of their Doom.

N. o. Pieayuue, Sept, 10.
Gathering clouds FASTENED the com
ing of the evening shadows yesterday,
The green of the Broad grass carpet
across Congo square deepened in hue,
The damp dark gray walls of the
Parish Prison, its black, yawning
doors, and the low sheds marking the
entrances, massed into a gloomier pile
with the coming of the night. The
broad avenue in front held the light
and fought the sombreness off for a
while longer, evening through the
clouds grew darker and the sun had
gone far into the west.
1t was after 5 O'Clock. The loud
voices of the criers had sounded the
signal for retirement at the Parish
Prison. The gates grated upon the
prisoners as they were locked up for
the hight in their cells. The yards
were emptied and the corridors were
deserted. All was qniet, and a person
just then visiting the prison would
scarcely believed that it contained any
inmates.
1t was at this hour that Chief Dep
uty Sheriff T, ]. Gilloly stepped into
the Clerks office at the Parish Prison
and brought forth a large, heavy
book. 1t was the transcript in the
Ford case, which had just come back
from the Governor with death written
across the front page.
"Pm ready" said Sheriff Gilloly.
Capt. Rogers and several deputies
and reporters joined him in the circu-
lar hallway outside the entrance, call
cd the bull pen. The great iron gate
swung open, and when it had turned
back upon its hinges and locked the
party was ascending the black painted
stairway leading TO the floor above.
On one side Of the broad hall are
the hospital and the boarding quar-.
ters. 'Phe grated windows on the
other side look out upon the yards.
Just between these open spaces is
wing of the building which divides
them. The heavy iron door above the
white yard opens upon the little gal
lery upon which arc the condemned
cells. In these cells, on the second
floor, yesterday evening, were Patrick
Ford and John Murphy, convicted Of
the murder of Cap. Murphy. From
these same cells Eloi, Chase, Bob
Williams, Holland anil others Of recent
memory had walked down the gallery
70 the gallows. Now Ford and Mnr-
ply have been doomed 10 die.
The little procession, all sad and
solemn, grouped itself on the small
gallery, little below the level Of the
other cells on the same floor.
Ford and Murphy we're called out.
Both had on clean summer garments.
Murphy in white undersbirt and
striped linen pants, with his hair
nicely combed and his black nous
tacbe dropping gracefully on each
side, leaned against brick pillar.
Pat Ford had on the same sort of
pants but be wore q shirt Will the
collar unbpttoncd at the throat. He
stood with folded arms and downcast
look before the Sheriff. The lines
were deeper On bis face than on Mur-
phys. Ills close cnt hair, the short,

Editor Lake Charles Echo;
Last Saturday and Sunday We had
good meeting, in which our people
took lively interest. ReVs Jackson,
Moore and the two Mnnroes, oil of
Rapides parish, preached for us and
promised us further irregular service.
Our house is almost ready to occupy,
and we hope soon to see church or
ganized with regular appointments,
and also our present private school
converted into a public one, with a
solid, energetic, but mild teacher. We
need the learning in our business, and
the religion in our idlcness or rest,
We don't sin while busy at our farm
ing, stock raising, clcrking, teaching,
etc, it is only for want Of profitable
and honorable employment that the
bowl, the cards, the races and other
innumerable dangerous indulgences
are sought. We want that kind of
education that raises the morals above
The conception Of low plots, vile criti-
eisms and censurcs Of our neighbors,
and expands our intellect sufficient to
enable us at all times to grasp some
honorable plan to securing pleasant
and profitable employment, and which
strengthens the will and power snff-
cient to make such pursuits a success.
0ur crops are better than usual in
this section, but not SO good as well
digested plans and skilled labor would
have produced. The character Of the
soil shonld be studied by the farmer
the same rs that Of his horse, and
worked accordingly We have splen-
did soil here, but our people are not
taking up mnch Of it. We fear chat
nnder the present system Of W olesale
by the Government, that our children
will be unable 10 obtain homes We
don't think that man or companies
should bo allowed TO enter more land
than they can and viii niilize, and this
should be limited. We think that
above d certain limit, (say l90 acres)
that d higher taS should be assessed
proporiiopatcly higher for every 100
acres above that, and SO on; perhaps

Editor Lake Charles Echo
Allow me to answer through the
columns of your paper some enquiries
in regard to disease prevailing
among cattle in the parish Of Calea-
sieu, called BY stock-raiaers s'cfafnp.1
My attention has been called 10 this
disease or condition for several years
From observation, owing to the great
destruction and loss to the stock-rais-
er, probably more than from al other
diseases put together, and have como
TO the following conclusions. which |
am satisfied are correct ia the main
First, the condition that brings ON tho
disease is for the want Of proper nn-
triton, arising from two causes poor
range, lacking in phosphates sufficient
to supply bony material. Secondly,
from long course Of in-and-in breed
ing, which has weakened the animal
economy TO such an extent that it is
not capable Of utilizing the food con
sumed.
come to these conclusions from
the fact that you only find this disease
prevailing among cattle feeding on
poor, sandy prairie, and most prevalent
in dry seasons, and only among stock
that has never been crossed or inn
proved. You will find these cattle
always chewing bones if there is one
TO be found, which a great many con
tribute to the want Of salt, and after
they get Granny as il is called, you
will find that their bones are very
easily broken, and all the sinnovial
fluid absorbed, and the joints perfect
ly dry hence the inability TO move,
which gave rise to the name, cramp.
The pith Of the horn is also absorbed,
which gives the disease called ahollow
horn"
Now, as to remedies, they are
plainly indicated, which are phos-
pilates in some form, But Ia this, as
In all other diseases affecting large
stocks running wild on the prairie,
they arc of little moment. Preyenta-
tives are our principal reliances. In
this case would advise a gradual inn
provement of the stock by crossing
with some Of the breeds that adapt
themselves readily to our open ranges,
and for the stock-raiser 10 supply him
self with pasture sufficiently large to
accommodate all Of his crampy cattle
and fertilize it well with bone meal,
Or some of the phosphates in use.
These cattle all get well as soon as
they are well fed.

There seems to be little doubt bni
that, at the coming session of Congress
an attempt will be made TO bring
about certain reforms in the tariff.
Protected interests which owe theiI
gains and the hope of their gains to
the practical monopoly which they en-
Joy, owing to the maintenance of du-
ties detrimental to the great body OF
consumers, have already begupto dep
recate any such action, They say it
ID an undue interference with the
course of trade. They allego that
there is nothing so damaging to busi-
ness as uncertainty nothing so detri-
mental to its development as huctua-
tion in the policy Of legislation applied
to it. They hold that better even is
an antiquated and partially unfair sys-
tom of tariff, under which or in spite
Of which the trade Of the country has
grown to its present proportions, and
upon which importers and exporters
can make their calculations from year
to year without fear of being distrib-
uled, than any system beautifully adj
justed for the day, but liable TO the
choppings and changings Of perpetual
revision.
We are aware of the extreme sensi-
tiyeness to change Of business in every
form, and would be loath to adYo-
cate empire changes which would in
terfere with its stable prosperity; but
we cannot shut our eyes to the fact
that the very nature of the present
tariff renders stability in legislation
impossible. alt is SO extrayagant in
its present rates." says the New York
Times, $50 unequal in its burdens, 50
oppressive to some important interests,
50 Impractical and difficult Of admins
tration, and SO provocative Of fraud
and injustice, that there must necessa-
rily arise in constant succession de-
mands for changes from one quarter
to another
1t was no doubt the intention Of in
Producing legislative remedy for the
most crying Of these evils that origi-
mated Secretary Manning's circular 70
manufacturers, in which information
was requested regarding the incidence
Of The tariff. The issuance Of that
circular has created great deal Of
vigorous talk among the classes inter-
