Editor Brookhaven Leader:
IL is easy to promise to write a
letter occasionally to newspaper,
but to carry the promise into effect
is a difficult task. TO travel on
cars in hot and dusty weather, even
on the slccpers, is no easy thing to
do, ii the journey is q long one.
The first nights experience is
very apt to be attended with very
little freshness TO enjoy the passing
scenes Of the day
Summer is the most unpleasant
time to travel in the South, vet that
is the time, North and South, when
cars are most crowded. Some are
travelling in pursuit Of health 9th

The political ball of 1888 as well as
1885 appears to be opening in Ohio.
1t becomes very evident that strong
effort will be made to build that State
as an anti-administration State. It is
very evident that in that State the 6.
o. p, the party of ''great moral ideas, !"
has from result of the past, become
so dazed that, instead of looking for
ward, they are now looking back
wards. The voice of the people has
raised the standard of peace, unity
and prosperity, and desire is mani
tested to uphold it by the admins
tration of honest government. But
the Ohio Republicans looking back
into the past have again raised as a
standard of their party, the dishonest
and torn fragments Of the old bloody
shirt which they are vigorously way
ing and asking their party to walk
backward to an era of discord, divis-
ion and embittered feeling. All that
the Democrats have to, do is to de-
monstrate to the people, by a con-
spicuously faithful discharge of the
trust reposed in them, that in their
hands the government Of the country
is not misplaced.

Why Nor Follow SU1T.-As our
Police Jury manifest disposition to
retrench in expenditures where such a
course can be prudently done, and re-
duce taxation to limits that will meet
the exigencies of the public needs, we
would suggest modification of the
existing practice in summoning wit
nesses in criminal cases, to conform
to the plan pursued in st. Mary par
ish. The Police jury there decided
that no more than four witnesses for
the State and 4 for the defense should
be paid by theparish. Four witnesses
on either side wonld be as good as
four hundred, as each party would
produce their best men. The State
would not need more and the defence
could have them Gd IDitMm, by foot
ing the bills for all over the four al
lowed by law. Retrenchment is the
order of the day, and all parish money
leaks ought to be stopped right away.
One single cattle stealing suit has cost
the parish $400 for witness fees, and
has just begun. It is time to put a
stop to such wholesale plumber of the
honest taxpayers of the parish
NeV Iberia Enterprise.

Decrease of Ireland's Population.

From the Register-Generafs quar-
terly return it is estimated that the
present population of ireland is
4924,342. Nothing shows the de-
cline of that fine old island more
strikingly than the remarkable de-
crease of it's population. In 1841
Ireland had 8,175,O0O Inhabitants
No other civilized country can show
such great and rapid diminution in
the number of it's people. But its
previous increase was almost as phe-
nomenal as it's decline. In the one
hundred years preceding 1S41 the
population increased from two mil
lions to the more than eight millions
above noted.
A number of adverse causes, among
which bad government was Cne chlel,
conspired to blight Ireland. The po-
tato famine coming when the popula-
ton was at it's height, and there was
the greatest number to feed, caused
the death of thousands by starvation,
and gave an impetus to the emigration
which has to an extent depopulated
the island.
The English proprietors would
doubtless like to drive out the re-
mainder and convert old Ireland into
an extensive hunting preserve, but il
cannot be done. There is reason to
believe that the national patriots, by
the restoration of home-rule and bet
ter government, will succeed in re-
storing the prosperity and population
of the Emeral Isle.

The so-called protectionlsts pro-
poses to protect home industry by
making goods high in price. The
whole people are buyers and pay the
highest prices for the goods they buy.
They have reason to thank the pro-
tectionists for compelling them to
pay the highest prices for goods, paid
by any people on earth. If protection
and high prices be good for the peo-
pie, let us have more protection and
still higher prices.

No lawyer can dispute the correct

No lawyer can dispute the correct
ness of Attorney General Garland's
decision that the Indians, as the
wards of, the Government, cannot
lease the lands which were given
them for their use, and of which it
was not intended that they should
make such disposition. They have
no more power to lease them than
have any other kind of wards to lease
the property set apart for their ben
eft. The spectators who have taken
advantage of the Indians by inducing
them for nominal sum to part with
the use Of the lands given them by
the Government acting as their
guardian, cannot claim right deriv-
ed from what was clearly a wrongful
transaction.

A Contrast.
From DeSot6 Democrat

From DeSot6 Democrat
The recent Grand Jury in Sabine
parish says:
"We have found several bills for
rnisdemeanors, and a few felonies.
We find our parish in peaceful
and quiet condition, we have foundn
bill for homicide, nor have we found
a single bill for any personal encoun-
ter between citizens, which we attrib-
ute to the beneficial effect of the local
option law, which has been in opera
ton for the last six months, and we
beg to assure all, that the benefits
arising from this law, which restraints
the indiscriminate sale of intoxicating
liquors, has been and is one of the
greatest blessings a civilized people
can enjoy and has gone far towards
putting an end to crime in our parish. y"
The above is a good showing for
the Local Option parish of Sabine,
and in comparison we will say: Mr..
Payne, who was recently shot at
Grand Cane is recovering. Dock
Edmundson, who recently had his
skull broke by his son-in-law, is doing
well, Thenegro recently shot by Mr..
Allen, is now out of danger. The
negro recently shot on Mr.. Sutherlin's
place won't die this time. Adams who
was recently stabbed Ia times by his
brother is still alive. Mr.. Hoel who
was recently stabbed by negro is
getting well. Mr.. Moore recently
killed Mr.. Field near Keachi. Some
person recently tried to burglarize
Judge Hall S residence. Some rowdy
recently shot into Mrs Winkley's
residence. All or these crimes have
been perpetrated in the "whisky y
parish of DeSoto within the past
month, and still the Sabine parish
Grand Jury were unable to find a
single bill 'tfor any personal encoun-
ter between citizens" This does not
make very fattering contrast be-
tween the two parishes, in favor of
the boosted refinement of DeSoto, but
the whole matter is explained by the
fact that the whisky element prevails
in DeSoto, and Local Option is adopt
ed in Sabine.

1t is said that party of Dakota
and Montana capitalists have a
scheme on foot by which it is pro-
posed to make three ar four more
new States in the Northwest. Capt.
talists have taken it upon themselves
to exercise extraordinary power in
this country, but this is the first time
they assumed to attemptthe creation
of sovereign States. They have been
doing so well in having their own
way in government as well as in bust
ness affairs, that it is not surprising
that they should think Of turning
their heads to State making.
The announcement of this new en-
terprise on the part of the capitalists
is accompanied with the statement
that they are confident of success, as
they are amply able to back the
scheme with money.
