The Pointe-a-la- Hache Observer,
referring to the storm on the coast
last week. says: The appalling
audiences with which the water
rose on Monday night was the canse
OF many disasters which could hav-
been otherwise avoided Accord
Ing to The general experience OF our
inhabitants, the water. in similar
occurrences. rose gradually. and IA
it were. by degrees. giving ample
time aud opportunity to rescue
those sundry things which consti-
tnts the chief resources OF country
household. But the people were
bewildered by the rapid rise; the
scene was one of haste and confu-
sion, and made more awful and SOL
emn by the tranquility and SEEM
ing unconcernedness with which
the liquid sheet advanced, silently
developing its watery folds. Our
population WIS taken by complete
surprise, hence the destruction of
poultry. hoge. calves. etc.

THE ROCKFORD MURDER.

The murder Of james w. RotoL-
ford still remains . mystery. Ben
Fields. who was arrested on sus-
picion. and spent five months i'll
Jail, has been released. the Grand
Jury finding nothing to justify the
charge against him. Mr.. Rotch-
ford was an old white E-an, u wild
over. living alone ut his home on
Tchefuncta, near Madisonville. 1t
is supposed that he was killed On
Saturday night. May 22d. for the
purpose Of robbery. His body Tor
what the buzzards had left Of it,
was discovered near the back door
Of his residence. a day or two after
ward. bis head having been beaten
to pieces witt q club. The blood
stained club was found near the
body, aud is now in possession of
the Sheriff. The body was clad
only in a shirt. The general belief
is that Mr.. Rotchford had retired,
when he heard a knock at the door
and opened it. and was pulled into
the yard and his brains beaten out.
It WAS q most atrocious murder.
Gov. NcEnery should offer a
large reward for the discovery and
arrest of the assassin, far il such q
hideo Is crime can be committed,
without detection. the perpetrator
will be encouraged to commit SINH
lar deeds, whenever the opportunity
offers.

The destruction Of life and prop
erty by the storm last week was
greater than at frat supposed.
Up to the present time about $50
bodies have been recovered at Sa-
bins Pass and Johnson's Bayou.
and there are about 1900 destitute
survivors. most Of whom have fed
to Beaumont and Orange. In st.
Rernard and Plaquemines parishes
there are several hundred destitute
families. mostly rice planters. whose
crops were washed away after be-
ing harvested. Subscriptions are
being taken up all over the coun-
try for the sufferers, and We hope
the citizens Of Covington and all
towns in the parish will give their
mite to the relief fund. and do 20
promptly. Money. food or cloth
ing will be acceptable. and should
be sent forward without delay.

The Republicans are divided

In the Third District Mr.. j. Stu

qusntly there is great dissatisfsc-

COL. ED. w. ROBERTSON.

We had pleasant visit last Sun
lay from Col. Ed. W. Robertson,
the candidate 70. Congress from
this District. He addressed the
citizens Of Slidell last Saturday,
and informed us that he had a
large aud enthusiastic meeting. 1t
was bis intention to address the
citizens Of Covington last Satur-
day: but be was unable to reach
here in time. and could only remain
few hours. as he had An appoint
ment to speak at Greensburg on
Monday. Up to the present time
Col. Robertson has no opponent.
and the chances are that he will
have an easy walk over" Not
witLstanding this fact. we urge oil
Democrats to SO to the polls and
vote on the I'd of November next.
and roll up big vote for our stan
dard bearer.
Tie Daily States has the follow
ing to say Of Col. Robertson. which
We fully indorse:
"CoL. E. W. koBERrsoN.-The
States this morning received visit
from this staunch and sound Dem
ocrat, the nominee OF tue party 10,
Congress from TIE Sixth District OF
this State. 1t was Col. Robertson
who redeemed the Sixth District
after it had been jerry-mandeied
into negro hands by carpet-bag
legislation. and he served in Con-
Kress several terms with honor to
his party, tue State and himself
Always reliable in his adhesion to
the ancient principles of his party,
unswerving in his devotion to the
best interests of his constituents
and to tho people Of the State at
large. Col. Robertson 10 a gentle.
man whom any people and State
may be proud to number among its
Congressional Representatives. He
is now GU q tour of his District,
and will address the people at all
the leading points within its boun-
diaries. That his utterances will be
eloquent. logical and instructive.
no one who has ever heard this old
war-horse Of Democracy can doubt;
and that the people OF the Sixth
District will, as Of yore. return him
by q large majority. no one &C.
quaiuted with them will hesitate in
believing.

REGISTER AND VOTE.

Carlessness and over-confidence,
in the hour OF victory and presume
BILE safety, is apt to result in disas-
ter and defeat. The Republicans
have not. as yet. publicly announc.
ed any candidate for Congress in
this District. bu. they may possibly
be working like beavers in the dark.
While the District is overwheIm-
ingly Democratic. when q full vote
is polled, yet the Republicans can,
in a silent way. muster 1000 or
5000 votes, and this would be suf-
6cient to elect their man and defeat
the will of the people. if any con-
siderable number OF Democrats me-
glect their duty and remain away
from the polls. We therefore hope
every Democrat will vote. This is
absolutely necessary if We desire to
maintain orr supremacy. We can
not afford, through any feeling Of
security, to neglect our duty. The
enemy is subtle and scheming. and
liable to strike when We least ex-
poet it. Let ~ not be caught nap
ping, but work and vote "a though
there were q formidable opponent
in tae field. thus making security
doubly secure. Eternal vigilance
in the nrico If liberty."

BEECHER ON RETRIBUTION

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher de-
liverel an address in Rev. DR.. Par.
ker's City Temple. in London.
England. on the 18th inst, on "A
Pulpit Work" He dwelt upon the
aid the newspapers rendered the
preacher. A number OF questions
were asked Mr.. Beecher as to his
idea Of the doctrine of retribution,
and his answers caused intense ex-
element, several OF the divines ris-
ing to their feet and loudly pro-
testing against his views.
Mr.. Beecher retorted that any
man believing in retribution who
married. entered society. or smiled.
was a monster. He preferred work !.
ing through fear springing from
love than through . fear OF the bar
barrie doctrine of letribution.

THE DEMOCRATIC EXHIBIT.
WASHINGTON Post.

speaker Carlisle Inns just given
MS another OF those pithy reviews
Of the relation of parties, which are
both edifying aud convincing, es-
pecially concerning the 6rst year
of Democratic economy. It is n
remarkable showing of what BIAS
been done. Let us give q synopsis
fit:
l. During tue fiscal year ending
June 30. 1886. the total expendi-
lures Of the Government were
$l7,743, 1876 less than those OF the
previous year under Republican
rule.
2. Yet there we're paid out for
pensions 81. 1902. 500 more than dur
ing the previous year; aud the
larger number OF claims were ad-
justed by l50 less clerks.
3. The appropriations for the
support OF the Government for the
current year are even smnlle. than
those Of last year by Sc. 4S6. 1876.
4. The increase In the expendi-
lures ON account of the postal SER
vice, from the year 1854 to the year
1885 was 81. 54O. $50. and from 1885
to 1856. $4.66O. $50. while from
1886 to 1887. which is the current
fiscal year, the increase is only
$f64, 1913. The differ nce is 81, O0O,-
OUO less than the increase before
under the Republican administra-
ton.
s. The Republican Senate added
StO.OOU,OUO To the appropriation
bills this year, and the Democratic
House combatted this extravaganza
and defeated it.
6. The Democratic Congress has
forfeited and restored to the public
domain 81. 1872 $40 acres land pre-
viously granted to railroad compa-
nies under conditions which have
not been complied with. The ter
ritory thus returned to actual set.
tiers is more than twice as large rs
the State of Kentucky The Demo-
cratic House at the Inst session
passed other bills for feiting aud re
claiming 3. S43. O94 acres more, bu,
IL Republican Senate did NOT con
err. The House has favorably rs-
ported bills FORGETTING l3.U67.214
acres more-an urea twice as large
IA the State OF Massuchusetts-an
will pass them at the next session.
Z. Our National expenses con-
tinue to diminish and our receipts
to Increase. There is now onI.
$l4O. 100000 OF the public debt
which We have a right to pay. aul
this will be paid within two years.
No moro bonds will be payable till
1891. During the interval On enor-
nous surplus will accumulate in the
Treasury. to the great detriment OF
business thousand million dol
lars or more. So tue taxes will
have to be reduced. and the reduc
ton will inevitably fall upon tue
tariff.
