The large and daily increasing ma
rine interests of this section are ham
pered for the want of [. S. Com
missioner's Court at Lake Charles.
Here, like all other ports, many mat
tiers occur in marine circles that re-
quirc immediate solution in order to
prevent injury both to the commercial
interests of the town and the ship
owners, which now, for the want of
Commissioner, have to be passed
over or taken before the L. S. Courts
either in Shreveport or New Orleans,
winch, naturally, works great hardship
upon all parties, owing to the great
distance of both places from our town.
So we would respectfully call the at
tention of our Congressman, Hon. E.
j. Gay, to the matter and ask that he
use his influence with the powers that
be, to assist ms in getting Commits
sioner appointed here in Lake Charles,
as it is absolutely necessary under the
growing conditions of our shipping
that we should have such an officer in
onr midst.

Jennings.
our midst

By private correspondence we learn
that the good people Of Jennings have
embraced the plan suggested by the
ECHO a couple Of weeks back in re-
gard to the erection Of rice mills
throughout the parish, and are moving
in the matter. They are not only
agitating this question, but they are
seriously considering the adVisability
of establishing fruit canning factory
in their midst. They have also or
dered mammoth hay press, and will
utilize in the future vast quantities of
of good hay that now go to waste for
the want of attention and no way to
get it to market. The rice crop in
that section, our correspondent states,
is exceedingly good, but the weather
is retarding the harvest. If the i'm
mense scope of vacant lands that are
now lying idle in our parish were set
tied mp with sneh thrifty farmers as
our Jennings friends, in few years
time old Calcasieu would bloom like
rose.

terest political battles on record, and
interpose his authority in behalf of

ing the decisions of the courts, but
when such Paipable injustice has been
perpetrated, the press should speak
out and the Governor shOnld interpose.
They are guilty alike, and should all
be punished alike. Let the scales Of
Justice balance evenly"

A YOUNG man, named Dugas, about
10 years of age, was shot and instantly
killed last Saturday evening in the
CyPremort prairie, St. Mary parish,
about eight miles above the town of
Franklin, by Joseph Hughes, a cattle
drover. 1t appears from the evidence
before the eoroner's jury that Dugas,
with a younger brother, was driving a
wagon on the public road and was
met or overtaken by Hughes and
others driving cattle. Hughes asked
Dugas for a drink of water and Dugas
replied that he had none. Hughes then
drew pistol and fired a shot in the
air, and then brought the pistol down
and shot Dugas through the body,
killing him Instantly. The lad who
was with Dugas jumped from the
wagon and ran into the cane, and was
shot al when getting over the fence by
some one, he was unable 10 say whom.
The mule and wagon, with the dead
body, went on and stopped at the
residence of Dugas. Mr.. Vincent, the
stepfather of Dugas, upon being told
of the occurrence procured a shotgun
and following Hughes shot at him, and
as Hughes fell from his horse upon
the discharge of the gun supposed be
had killed him and returned to the
house. Hughes arose unhnrt, and was
making off when the neighbors arrest
ed and held him until the arrival of the
Sheriff, who took him 10 franklin
and lodged him in jail. 1t is supposed
that Hughes was drunk at the time.

THx New York S0R, of the 2oth
inst. copies Senator Eustis paper on
the Presidents policy, and ssysof II
editorially: @Thero has been 50 much
misrepresentation respecting the att.
tude of Senator Rustis, of Louisiana,
toward the President, that the authen.
tic expression Of. his views and pur.
poses has become a matter OF genera
interest. We copy accordingly from
the last number Of the North Anser.
ican Review the very moderate and
indieious statement which he has PM
forth. Like the vast majority of Dem
ocrats, Mr.. Eustis is frankly opposed
to the Civil Service system OF which
Mr.. Eaton is the chief representative,
and he sets forth the reason for his
opposition with clearness and dignity.
As Democrat he advocated the cleo
tion of Mr.. Cleveland, expecting that
it would produce Democratic victory,
and he is disappointed, vet he does
not propose any factions opposition to
the President. He thinks that Mr..
Cleveland has been led into a serious
error in attempting to commit the
Democratic party to a measure for
which the party is not prepared, and
as to which there is no reason to be-
lieve that a majority approve of it.
He sees that there is conflict, and he
expresses that hope that it may not be-
come embittered so as to impenl the
benefcent ascendaney of the Democ-
racy. We join heartily with Mr..
Eustis in this wish" A
