TIE GRAND JURY in Louisiana parish
has recently reported against the excellent
and abundant fare of the Jail there, for the
reason that it is better than the prisoners
are accustomed to, and is rather an induce
ment to than deterrent from the commits
sion of crime punishable with imprisonment.
This is suggestion that may be adopted
with advantageous effect in Virginia, espe-
cially now that winter is approaching. By
far the larger number of prisoners in Fir-
ginia jails are utterly incapable of the feel
ing of disgrace, nor does their imprison-
meut affect their standing with their
friends and acquaintance. TO them the
warm quarters, square meals end idleness
of the jails during cold weather arc desira-
BILE rather than repulsivc, and, as proved by
their own confessions, often Induce them to
commit thefts in order to be sent where
those luxuries can be enjoyed

AN ELECTION was held in Ohio to-day for
State officers and legislature. The bloody
shirt was made one Of the chief issues of the
campaign by direction of Mr. Sherman, who
will be returned to the United States Senate
if republican legislature be elected, and
by Mr.. Foraker, the republican candidate
for Governor. Should the democrats be
successful, of which there is strong prob.
ability, that result will be partly due to a
change in the large coored vote of that
State, and that change be attributable to
the action of the recent colored convention
in this State, so efficiently promoted by Mr..
Barbour, the chairman of the Virginia State
democratic committee, who will thereby
prove that he aided materially in eliminat-
ing bloodyshirtism from Ohio, as we'll as
Mahoneism from Virginia

Trying to walk with one foot in
the grave does not help us to get
along. Lift up your head and heart,
your hands and your feet, your all,
and do what you can, making your
self as useful as possible.
Neither bread and raiment, nor
even religion, are found in the grave.
Fretting about things which can
not be changed except by your own
conduct is like finding fault with
your cook for giving you bad Coffee
for breakfast when the fault is with
yourself in providing her with an
inferior article to make from, while
Genuine MandhelIns Java
may be readily obtained at slight
difference in cost.
Keep your temper, and let the
bad Coffee be warning against pro-
viding more like it. The best use
OF past follies and errors is to let
them teach us to be more wise now.

The enbnckers, Address,

The national committee of the green
back party have been in session at the
National Hotel, in this city, and special
committee yesterday prepared an address
to be issued to the public. In this it is
averred that spectators and monopolists
have been clothed with authority to issue
the money of tho people, and that the
currency has been contracted notwith-
standing the enormous growth of popula-
tion. The financial reforms proposed by
the greenbackers are set out; the course
of members of congress who opposed Mr..
Cleveland's views on silver coinage are
approved; the refusal of congress to pass
bills for the forfeiture of unearned land
grants, and the eviction of honest settlers
at Oklahoma from their now homes in
the interest of cattle kings are denounced.

day that the killing was not as bad as

thought Wilburn will visit his wife to.

arrest him.

Rea from Kansas City IL Is learned that
the variety actress Georgia Lewis was the
wife of Charles Golden who died sud
denly from morphine administered by
her, and also that Golden had few days
before coming here shot the marshal of
some town In the north. The Young

THE CASHIER DIES ALSO.
ANOTHER GALVESTON BANKlTEM
William Garlick Sick, Broken in Spirit
and Hopeless over the Island City's
Wreck, is Smitten With Par
alysis and Expires.

GALVESTON, Feb. 1.-The death of
VIM. Garlick, cashier of the suspended
Island City Savings bank, which oc
Cured this afternoon, adds another
melancholy chapter to the history Of the
affairs of that institution. Garlick was
seriously i'll at the time. c. G. Wells. the
banks president, committed suicide one
week ago. On learning of Wells death.
Garllck rapidly failed. About a wear
agobe was stricken with paralysis, su-
perlndnced by consumption. His wife
carried him north, where under skilled
nands, his health was greatly benefited,
When he. returned to his position
IN november last he told his friends he
lelt That he should live many years, but
alas! he soon made the discovery
that the bank he had built IN by
his energy and honesty had been
ruinously mismanaged by President
Wells during his absence. Calling the
directors together, he for the first time
acquainted them with the true condi.
tlon OF the banks affairs; but he did
not desert the bank; did not
even withdraw his own private
deposits; but like a heroic captain on a
SINKING snip struggled night and day to
save the scu1tled bank, until he finally
sank beneath the weight OF his labors.
Another stroke of paralysis occurred to-
day, resulting in his death.
At o'clock this afternoon, surrounded
by his wife. mother, brother and
and friends. His death is dirsctly at
tributable to the financial disasters of
the past week. Deceased was only 40
years OF age. He had been with the
banking interests of Galveston ior
many years,
