What About Rassures :
ISt. Bernard Eagle.l

Our pacific administration has SIM
mered down about the Cutting matter
and has accepted, in a measure, the
blarney of Mexico in lieu of sufficient
explanation. Diplomacy is humbug.
Turkey, China, Russia, Mexico, or any
such barbarous power with a veneer of
civilization will tell more exepedient
lies in a weeks negotiation than can
be refuted in year. Our clever cabi-
net has rubbed its collective noodles
together and concentrated its alleged
intelligence on the case of Cutting.
The temporizing Mexican will fiddle
its brains during the term of it's con-
tinuance in Office, unless somebody
gives it pills. Whilst talking and
dreaming of Cutting and reconciling
points of international law and United
States Constitution that conflict with
Mexican law, the cabinet forgets the
fact that Francisco Rassures, a natur-
allied American citizen, has been kid
mapped and murdered, and his assas-
sin whitewashed by Mexican authority.
What about Rassures7 What about
the security of the life and liberty of
other American citizens within ten
miles of the Mexican frontierf If
Rassures can be trapped. kidnapped
and slain, why not the President whom
his vote helped to elect. The hum
blest citizen in the land is entitled to |
the protection vouchsafed to the high
est. We are not in favor Of a war Of |
plumber; but the best thing thst could |
happen for the development Of north
srn Mexico would be it's annexation to |
The United States.

Of the eight Anarchists tried in
Chicago for exploding a bomb in
the midst of squad of policeman,
by which several were killed and
wounded, all have been convicted,
and seven will be hung, while the
eighth goes to the penitentiary for
fifteen years. This lesson ought to
teach these foreign fools that, al
though America is free country,
such eowardly scoundrels as they
are will not be tolerated.

Editor Cutting was released by

Editor Cutting was released by
the Mexican government last Mon
day, and he is now summing himself
on the free soil of Texas. So those
bellicose individuals who itched to
go on a plundering expedition into
the land of the Montezumas, will
have to give up their visions of i'll
gotten wealth and go to work and
earn an honest livelihood. There
IS now scarcely the renotest possi-
bility of war. True, the case of
Rassures remains to be settled, but
it can be easily adjusted now that
Mexico has shown her Willingness
to listen to reason and acceeded to
the demands of our government in
behalf of Cutting.

The Ford Murphy tragedy has
perhaps been more prolific in the
production of perjurers and their
suborners than any other case in
the annals of Louisiana history. A
more cowardly murder than the
killing of Cap Murphy by the
Fords and their paid tools of as
sassination never occurred. But
a more complete and ample admin
istration of justice has seldom fol-
lowed in the wake of crime. Two
of the murders sleep in dishonored
felons' graves, three of them are
serving sentences in the peniten-
tiary, while several witnesses who
sought to save them by false swear
ing have been convicted and will
also go to the penitentiary. The
last conviction is that of DR.. Drei-
fus, who was instrumental in pro-
curing the false witnesses. This
scamp has enjoyed the benefit of
good reputation, while the truth is
he has all along been a villain of
the deepest dye. The record in
this case marks an era in the iuris-
prudence of Louisiana, and, let us
hope, it ushers in an epoch when
the spectacle of murderous roughs
being bolstered up by the testimo-
ny of false witnesses will be an tln
known thing in our courts. |

The Texas coast was visited by a
terrible storm on Friday, Goth, in
which the city of Galveston suf-
fered great disaster. A great wave
ten feet high is said to have rolled
q hundred miles inland, carrying
death and destruction with it. Up
to this time twelve deaths are re-
ported, while the loss to the towns
and farming communities on the
coast aggregates many millions of
dollars. Houses, crops, stock and
all were swept away in hundreds of
instances, and the scene of desoIa-
ton is said to beggar description.

cused by the N. o. Picayune with
embezzling s4,406 10 of the States

he can vindicate himself. In the
face of such a direct charge moth
ing can exculpate Mr.. Strong but a
direct and explicit refutation of all
the statements that are made to ap-
pear 80 strong against him, and he
should not delay an instant to give
the public statement correcting
these charges and vindicating his

The first number of The Baptist
Chronicle has been received at this
Office. 1t has been started to fill
an imperative need among the Bap-
fists of Louisiana for a State or
gan. Rev. w. S. Penick is its edi-
itor, with Revs. F. Courtney and
j. P. Everett associate editors. It
is published by Puckette & John
son in the city of Shreveport, sub
scription 81 a year. The Baptists
are second in numbers among the
Protestant denominations of this
country, and they should take an
especial pride in giving their State
paper liberal support. The edi-
tors in charge are able men, and
assure the Baptists of Louisiana a
thorough and complete exposition
and defense of their faith.

The Fate of II Young Englishman
Who Was Maynard.
Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 1.-Two
months ago an Englishman, aged 21 years,
who gave his name as William Henry
Holding, was committed to the
county jail as an insane vagrant
but at intervals he seemed to be rational
At such times he showed that he was well
educated. Sheriff Hannah succeeded in
drawing from the man the names of his
friends and relatives in England, with whom
he communicated. Yesterday Sheriff Han
nan received three letters from London. one
from Holdings mother, one from the fam
lily solicitor, and one from MI NJ. II. Hold
DING, the young mans uncle The mothers
letter tells how she had tried to learn of her
sons whereabouts and had given him up
for dead; how his father had been pro-
NOTED to a generalship in the British
army now serving in India, and how over
Joyed she is to hear that her son is still
alive. She enclosed letter to the young
man which is full of atfectionate advice.
The uncles letter tells how Holdings
parents gave their son the best education,
with the intention of his entering the
army. When he failed to pass the
examinations his father provided him with
an outfit and sent him first to Manitoba and
thence to Kansas with the object of having
him taught useful and easy occupation.
Bad behavior at both of these places on the
part OF the boy led to his removal, and he
became wanderer. Sheriff Hannah ex-
poets some OF Holdings friends to arrive
soon.

FREE SWIMMING BATHS.

Why shouldn't st. Paul have a free
swimming bath, or several of them for
that matter? In nearly every large city
of the country contiguous to lake or river
of sufficient size and cleanliness there exist
public swimming houses. Their influence.
to say nothing of the comfort to swelteripg
humanity which they bring about, is dis
tinctly for the good. The health of the
juvenile portion of the community, which
forms the bulk Of the baths patronage. is
obviously improved by the necessary scour-
ing which must come with frequent indul-
gence in the delights of the swimming
pool. 1t furnishes a means of recreation,
too. of the most wholesome character to
class of people whose amusements
are few enough. The free swimming baths
in New Y DIRK and Boston have become such
firmly-tiXed institutions that any attempt to
do away with them would be met with a
juvenile remonstrance only comparable to
that which took place on Boston common
when the British soldiers DESTROYED the
skating and coasting of the young revolu-
tionists. The constant cr0wding of the free
baths is sufficient testimony of their pop
MARTY, the unqualified commentator of
every physician who has examined them is

PURE ICE WANTED.

In New York and New Jersey they have
started a crusade against poisoned ice
cream. In this locality we are getting
down nearer to first principles and have IN
augurated war against the poison IN the
ice which freezes the cream. A resolution
introduced in the st. Paul chamber OF COM
merce yesterday provided for taking meas
ures to stop the sale Of ice taken
from the Mississippi river or any
Of its lakes, sloughs or bayous. The
mover of the resolution who is
physician, stated that no inconsiderable
quantity of the ice now in use was nothing
more than frozen sewage, which means
that every cake of river ice has in it big
chunk of typhoid fever or some other NAL
ady. The statement. coming from the
source it does, is of sufficient importance to
demand the consideration of the health all
thorities, and if the river ice is nothing
more than frozen sewage steps should
be taken to stop the sale OF it.
Or, what is better, council should pass an
ordinance prohibiting the cutting and
storage of river ice in the future. With
our facilities for procuring lake ice there is
no excuse for taking any risks by using ice
that is taken from the river. It may be
possible that the river ice is as clean and as
pure as any ice, but the odds are against it.
Ice is a very comforting thing this hot
weather, and we ought to have it pure as
snow.

"A Desperate Caught.
Special to the Globe.

CpcCldl W Tue OIOD6.
MOBILE, Ala, July 12.-Steve Renfroe,
desperado, who has attracted general at
tentlon In the state, particularly in West
Alabama, was arrested to-day in Enterprise,
Miss. He was sheriff of Sumter county,
and, proving defaulter, was sent to the
coal mines, whence he escaped with three
other convicts, and was pursued to Biz
mingEam. In this pursuit he came near
being captured, but the posse went Wild
The sheriff or his deputy was shot by his
own men, and Renfroe escaped to the hill
country, near Livingston, where he was
heavily armed and reinforced, and he de-
he'd the ministers of the law. While in his
fastness he was visited, at his request, by
the editor OF the Livington Journal who
interviewed him as to his plans. Renfroe
said he would rather die than surrender
but that he did not expect officers would
care to come after him. Since then he has
been ''Will-o-thewisp," popping here and
there, sort OF bugaboo for grown folks
and children, but quiet was restored when
it was reported he had gone to Texas.
This week the report was practically con-
tradicted for Renfroeism was demonstrated
near Livingston, and a pursuit being insti-
tuted, the outlaw was captured. He had
with him mule and silverware stolen from
people living near Livingston in Sumter
county.
