Home interests.

Why is it that the live men of Bos-
sier do not organize and take steps
to let the people of the country at
large know what magnificent lands
are lying idle in this parish, waiting
for the care and attention of friendly
handsa Strangers have not the faint
est conception of the extent of the
fertile land that there is in this par
ish unused and uncared for; and few
persons have an adequate idea OF the
great population which Bossier can
sustain. Our parish is rich in fertile
land; in forests, beautifully timbered;
in iron ore, and perhaps coal; in never
failing springs and wells; and numer
GUS useful streams. For the hunter
and the fsherman-our woods and
waters-the first in game, the second
in fish, abound.
There is no parish in this State
which can offer the inducements to
settlers that Bossier does, and our
leading men should take some meas
ure to direct the flow of immigration
hither, and attract the attention of
the many thousands who, if they but
knew the facts, would hasten to set
tie in this nature-favored region.
Our political interests have been
attended to. Let us now look to our
material interests, and see how the
prosperity and advancement of our
own people and parish can be best
promoted and subserved. Let us
hear of some move in the desired
direction and remember that when
the interests OF q community are en-
HANGED every individual therein is
benefited. Let our leading men do
something to encourage immigration,
aud the time viii not be far distant
when the hills and river valley of our
parish will blossom with the roses of
wealth and prosperity.

Liberty.

People talk of liperty as if it meant
the liberty of doing what man lakes.
The only liberty that a man, worthy
the name of man, ought to ask for,
is to have all restrictions, inward and
outward, removed which prevent his
doing what he ought. I call that man
free who is master of his lower appe-
tites, who is able to rule himself. I
call him free who has his flesh in sub
jectiou to his spirit; who fears doing
wrong, but who fears neither man
nor devil besides. I think that man
free who has learned the most blessed
of all truths: that liberty consists in
obedience to the power and will and
to the law that his higher soul rever-
ences and approves. He is not free
because he does what he likes, for in
his better moments his soul protests
against the act, and rejects the au-
thority of the passion which COM
manded him, as an usurping force,
and tyranny. He feels sthat he is a
slave to his own unhallowed passions.
But he is free when he does what he
ought, because there is no protest in
his soul against that submission.
Some people seem to think that
there is no liberty Except in loyal obe-
dience-the obedience of the uncon-
strained affections. Did you never
see mother kept at home, kind of
prisoner, by her sick child, obeying
its every wish and caprice, passing
the night sleepless? VIII you call
the mother slave? Or is this obe-
dience the obedience of slavery2 I
call it obedience to the highest iber-
ty, the liberty of love.-Robertson.

True it is that there are pentecostal
hours when the soul is surrounded by
kind of glory, and we are tempted
to make tabernacles upon the mount,
as if life were meant for rest; but out
of that very cloud there comes q
voice telling of the cross, and bidding
us descend into the common world
again, to simple duties and humble
life. The apostles remedy for this
artificial feeling is--sSpeaking to
one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs"

The Mexican government is dis
cussing the question of tariff reform.
There are Irregularities in it's impost
laws that need correction, the same
as in our own, and movement to
equalize them is no more intended to
favor free trade than are the tariff
reform measures to which our Dem
ocratic party is pledged.

Supreme Court Decisions.
BY JUSTICE E. F. poCHE
From Shreveport Times. ]


State vs. Dennis Boyd; appeal
from Bossier. The principol com.
plant Of the defendant, who has
been sentenced to death under a
conviction for murder, grows out of
the alleged refusal of the trial Judge
to allow him sufficient or reasonable
time to prepare for his Defense
Judgment reversed.
Syllabus: In a capital case, the
action of the District Judge who
orders the trial of an accused on the
same day that he is arraigned, in the
unforeseen absence of bis chosen and
retained counsel, and refuses to give
attorneys appointed him by the
court more than three hours time
20 prepare their defence, is erroneous
in law and unjust to the accused
Under such circumstances, his re-
fusal to postpone the trial for two
judicial days, will be reversed on
appeal, and the cause remanded for
another trial.
BY JUSTICE T. G. MANNING
State VS.. John Kirwin; appeal
from Bossier. The defendant was
indicted for murder, was convicted
of manslaughter and was sentenced
to Imprisonment at hard labor for
ten years. He relies for reversal
upon the refusal of the Judge to ad-
nit evidence of the character of the
deceased for violence, and presents
the point in bill and a motion for
new trial. Judgment affirmed.
Syllabus: The ruling of the trial
judge that no overt act, threat or
hostile demonstration had been
proved and therefore that no founda-
ton had been laid for the admission
of proof of character of the deceas-
ed, is final, unless manifestly arbi.
trary and not of sound legal discre-
ton. 1t is within the province of
the jury to decide whether founda-
ton has been laid for proof of de.
ceased's character. That question
cannot be submitted to them from
the very nature and mode of proce.
dure in a criminal trial.
The judge who presides at q Grim.
inal trial must necessarily have
heard the evidence submitted to him
of overt acts, threats, ETC., and he is
compellable on motion for new
trial to review his own ruling that
such evidence was insufficient to ad.
nit proof of character. Nor can he
be complained of if he refuses to
hear evidence to show that he was
wrong in bis ruling on the trial in
that regard.

There is uniform testimony from
physicians, scientists, educators, and
all observing men to the deleterious
effect of cigarette smoking so largely
practiced by boys and youth. Or
ganized efforts for it's suppression are
being widely made. The French
Government has absolutely prohibit
ed the use of tobacco in the schools.
The New Hampshire law, furnishing
the sale of cigarette to boy or girl
under Is years of age with a fine of
$50, has gone into effect. In New
Jersey avigorous movement is under
way to repress the mischief. The
business men took it up, finding that
cigarettes unnerved their yonng en-
ployers and untitled them for work.
The public school teachers have en-
tered on the crusade against them
from higher motives, being convinced
that the habit, which has become gen.
eral among the schoolboys, is de-
structiEe to their health. The Super
intendent OF the Newark public
schools, who is the leader of the
movement, is enlisting in it the SER
vices of all the teachers of the State.
They have failed to discourage the
habit, and now propose to proceed
against both smokers and sellers,
suspendingor expelling the incorrigi-
BE of the former from the schools,
and prosecuting the latter for selling
''the papercovered lung destroyer. !"
