King ON Eustls.
New York Herald, May 1st.

Gen. j. Floyd King, Member Of Con-
gress from Louisiana, and serving his
fourth term, was asked last evening
whether he agreed with the views of
Senator Eustis of his State, concerning
the administration. He replied
81 read Senator Eustis utteranee, as
given by the Herald to-day, with a
great deal of surprise. No, I do not
agree with what he says. | do not be-
lieve he correctly represents the views
or feelings of any considerable number
of Democrats in Louisiana. In the first
place, and my information from Louis
lana shows me that the people entirely
agree with the necessity of the Presi-
dent making his reforms slowly in or
der to avoid mistekes. He has certain
ly so far committed no mistakes in the
appointments he has made in Louisiana.
They have all been of the best charac-
ter. This has been accomplished by
painstaiking and going slow. I know
all the men Mr.. Cleveland has appoint
ed to office in the Safe, and they are
all OF the highest character, honest,
competent and deserving of confidence.
They are all Democrats. He has only
begun the reform of the public services
in Louisiana. He evidently proceeds
with caution, as he ought to and as all
good Democrats desire him to. But
what he has done so far deserves only
praise, and is promise that he will do
wisely in the future"
"What leading Democrats in the
State agree with Eustis 2"
II don't know OF one. So far as the
Congressional delegation is concerned,
| can tell you this-the State has six
Representatives and two Senators.
Senator Eustis' wing of the party lost
E. John Ellis District last November
by their unpopularity. This unpopu-
larity comes from the aversion Of the
people to the ring of which the Eustis
faction is composed, ring more ab-
horred by the people than the Tweed
ring was in New York. Mr.. Ellis rep
resented that District for ten years
consecutively. He declined to stand
for denomination, and the candidate
put up by Mr.. Eustis' friends was beat
en- by Republican, Mr.. Hahn. That
leaves us five Democratic Representa-
tives and two Senators. Messrs. Gibe
son and Eustis. Now it is fact that
Senator Gibson and four of the five
Democratic Representatives give the
most positive support to all the Presi-
dent has done, and one, General st.
MdLtius uOoS Hub OpPosGs ou1 InhOs 1O
part in these matters; but he also, as
all the others except Senator Eustice is
hostile to the ring which Senator Eustis
claims te lead. All the Democratic
delegation except Senator Eustis,
| therefore, are in entire, cordial accord
with all that the Administration has
done and is doing, not only in Louis
| lana but elsewhere. We are entirely
confident that the reforms promised by
| time. We look upon him as brave
able man,
St. Landry democrat., 1885-05-23

In none of our exchanges of the cOun-
try press have we seen single one that
speaks appFOvingly OF Senator Eustls'
attack upon President Cleveland. The
same may be said Of the reputable DEM
ocratfe press of the entire country. 1t
has given occasion for the papers of
other States to say some very hard
things about Louisiana politics, which
are none the easier to bear because they
are i'm the main true. The work OF
purifying and rendering respectable our
State Government is a work which we
fear this generation will not see accom-
plished. We have not only the actual
fact of most distressing state OF affairs
to overcome but likewise all the Odium
which has been accumulated upon the
fair name of Louisiana for the past
twenty years. One of the most hopeful
signs is the attitude of the country press
at this moment. Pressure of public
opinion has forced nearly all of the
| erstwhile "Ring" organs into line with
! the reform Democracy. 1t 10 strong
! evidence of Cleveland's ability and
penetration that he has been able to
| discover the truth, and has ranged him
self upon the side of right and purity
/ So far as the Democracy of this State il
concerned, the best element and lar2G
majority of the party is with the Presl-
dent. He may be thought slow in max.
ing changes that should be made, but
he has the confidence OF the party, anc
it's belief that all things will be adlustee
upon Democratic basis is mistaken
Monroe Bulletin.
St. Landry democrat., 1885-05-23

1t is plain to be seen by the appoint
ments made in Louisiana by President
Cleveland, that the aHbi-ring Democra-
cy of the State have secuaed the favor
of the President Whether this has
been brought about by a combination
saw. But that such is the case no one
viii deny. The abuse heaped upon the
President in certain quarters shows
this. and the unealled for and foolish
attack of Senator Eustis upon the
President proves it. The President no
doubt, like many citizens Of the State,
has come to the conclusion that that
combination has served its purpose and
ought to be broken.-Amite Gazette.
St. Landry democrat., 1885-05-23

The people of Louisiana are not libe-
raj patrons of the State press. In this
respect they fall 40 far below their
brethren in other parts of the Union as
to make the contrast painful. A COM
Darison of Statistics may not be unln-
structive. We select Nebraska, one of
the newest, and presumably one of the
least cultured OF the Western States.
Now the population of Nebraska is
about equal to the white population of
Touisiana-the former numbering 452,-
4O2, the latter 456, ,291. The total popu-
Iation of Louisiana is 939,946.
Nebraska had in 1884 newspapers to
the number of 276-Louisiana had at
the same time 40. The total circula-
ton of the Nebraska papers was about
25O. .OO0-of the Louisiana papers 170, 600
Nebraska has no large cities, and hel
newspapers are scattered pretty equally
throughout the State. New Orleans hat

published there have combined cir.

The following particulars as to the
methods of securing divorces in differ
ent countries are interesting:
Siamese-The first wife may be di-
yorced, not sold, as the others NAV be.
She then may claim the first third and
fifth child, and the alternate children
are yielded to the husband.
Arctic RegiOn.-When man desires
a divorce he leaves the house in anger
and does not return for several days.
| The wife understands the hint, packs
her clothes and leaves.
! Tartars.-The husband may pat away
| his partner and seek another when it
pleases him, and the wife may do the
same. It she be ill-treated she COM
plains to the Magistrate, who, attended
Fby the principal people, accompanies
her to the house and pronounce a for
al divorce.
Chinese-Divorces are granted in
jealousy, incOmpatibility of temper, or
too much Ioquacity on the part of the
wife. The husband can not sell his wife
until she leaves him by action of the law
or desertiOn. A son is bound to divorce
! his wife if she 6ispleases his parents.
Jews.-In olden times the Jews had a
discretionary power of divorcing their
| wives.
Javans.-If the wife be dissatisfied
she can obtain divorce by paying a
certain sum.
Thibetans Divorces are seldom al
lowed, unless with the consent of both
parties, neither of whom can atterward
remarry.
Moors.-If the wife does not become
the mother of a boy, she may be di-
vorced with the consent OF the tribe,
and she can marry again.
Abysinians.-No form of marriage is
necessary, The connection may be
parties think proper.
Cochin Chinese If the parties choose
to separate they break pair of chop
sticks or copper coin in the presence
of witnesses, by which action the union
! is dissolved. The husband must res
| tore to the wife the property belonging
| to her prior to her marriage.
American Indians.-AmOng some
/ tribes the pieces of sticks given to the
witnesses of the marriage are burnt as
sign of divorce. Usually new connec-
tions are formed without the old ones
/ being dissolved. A man never divorces
his wife if she has born him sons:
Siberians.-If the man be dissatisfied
with the most trifing acts of his wife
he tears her cap or veil from her head
and this constitutes divorce.
Coreans.-The husband can divorce
his wife aud leave her the charge OF
maintaining the children if she proves
unfaithful he can put her death.
Druse and Turcoman.-Among these
people, if wife asks her husbands
permission to go out, and he says Ego,
without adding "but come back again,
she is divorced. Though both parties
desire it, they cannot live together
without being remarked.
Il The methods of these heathens are tt
be commended rather than the civilized
scandal processes practiced by enlight
ened christians.
