LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE.
The Governors Message.

BATON ROUGE, May 1.-THE Legis-
lature met yesterday at noon. Governor
McEnery In his biennial message says:
The people Of Louisiana have cause
to be thankful for many blessings
during the past two years. While in
some portions Of the State there have
been failures in crops, in nearly every
other portions the returns from her
soil have been lavish.
The health of the State has been un.
exampled and we have been spared
pestilence and disease.
The Ievees are in better condition
than for many years past and we have
had no foundations.
Public schools have ncreased in eff
cheney and there has been an awaken
ing all over the State to the impor-
tance of education.
The interests of agriculture have
been encouraged and new and improv-
ed agricultural implements introduced
The burdens of State taxation have
been reduced by an advancement in
equalization of assessments.
Public order has been maintained
and public peace preserved and there
has been no unusual commission OF
. crime. Property, life and liberty,
have been preserved and protected and
justice has been speedily administered
There has been a revival in mechani
cal, industrial and commercial pur,
suits,
The financial condition of the State
has greatly improved in the increase
of assessments and certainty and full
ness OF collections of taxes. Notwitb-
standing the general depression in
business, material interests have 80 ad-
vanced that there should bs no fear of
deterioration or retrogression.
Our diversity Of agricultural products
mild climate, richness of soil, facilities
of transportation by water and by rail;
our unsurpassed natural resources in.
vite alike immigrant invalid, pleasure,
seeker and capitalist.
The governor further says the neces.
stiles Of the State will require an inS
crease of revenues and advises that
licenses be increased aud so graded as
to realize revenue of 100000. This
with the general fund tax, will be
ample for the expenses of State govern.
ment, and says the interest on consti-
tutional bonds will always be paid,
Bonds should 60 to par and the credit
of the State be as good as any in the
Union.
He recommends the establishment of
Industrial colleges for females. Says
railroad companies in making freight
rates discriminate against New Orleans
advises legislation to regulate these
and other evils; thinks railroad com.
missioners advisable; also says there
is necessity for the creation Of an insu.
rance commission.
On the. subject of labor troubles, the
governor says; 1t is natural with in.
creased means of knowledge and ad.
vanced education among workingmen-
for them to organize to protect

can give efficient work at less cost than
one belonging TO labor organ 'za'ions.
Great destruction of property aud in
terruption Of communication have in-
ficted anrincalculable amount of dam
age upon the community. 1t should
be the object-of legislation to remedy
these evils, to discourage interruption
of travel and commerce and to prevent
the destruction Of property and imperi-
ling. of life. recommend such legis-
lati0n as will create a board of arbitra-
ton to settle all differences between
corporations and their employees; will
suggest that parties to controversy
appoint one each and the governor be
aud is hereby authorized to appoint an
umpire to enforce by stringent penal
ties the award o: arbitratratior, and
also to make it a crime for anyone to
interfere with any iaborer in the props
er discharge of his duties on account
of the wages he is now receiving, or
on account of his being attached to
any particular organization, or to in
terfere with, interruption obstruct any
railroad train. 1t shonld be the object
of this legislation to compel corpora
tions to do justice to their employees
and to prevent those arbitrary and
tyrannical acts which have heretofore
driven labor organizations to desperate
efforts 10 protect their members from
oppressive acts and in general to en-
courage arbitration by au equitable
and just law and to promote goodwill
and harmony between capital and
labor. Law should zealously aud rig
idly guard the rights and protect the
interests of the laboring classes, and
before a reduction in wages is made
the parties affected should have ample
and timely notice.
The governor says the present mode
of executing criminals Is revolving
barbarous and inhumane. Modern
science certainly can provide for meaDs
for taking life in less cruel manner,
I will suggest that all condemned per-
sons be executed within the limits of
the penitentiary by means OF other
appliances than strangulation.
NEW ORLEANS, May 11.-It is be-
lieved much OF the time of the present
session will be consumed in consider.
ng the revision of laws arrangement of
the Code of Criminal Practice, and to
be published as part ofthe Revised Sta.
utes of the State when adopted.

special says: Mr.. Strickland gave no,
tics that he would introduce bill for a
railroad commission, substantially the
same as the Mississippi law, which
has been declared constitutional by
the United States Supreme Court.
Notice will be given to to~day of the
bill taking the capital of foreign i'm

Man is dependent upon his surroundings
for the necessities OF life. Air aud water
are necessities Of life, but impure air and
disease. Foed is also necessity Of life, but
diseases are traceable both TO the
lack Of necessary food, and an over indul-
gence in special kinds OF nourishment.
Besides these external sources OF disease,
there are other more subtle and internal
causes. Each individual inherits from his
parents certain physical constitution.
Each person, therefore. derives his Chances
for health and disease from a adonble source,
in life. Sanitary science de-
votes attention to our surroundings. Medi-

WAsHINoT0N, Msrch IA state
ment was published here this afternoon
to the effect that President Cleveland
had been in telegraphic communication
with Jay Gould concerning the Labor
troubles in the Southwest, charging him
not to stand in the way Of arbitration
II can be stated on authority that the
President has had no communication
with Gould or anyone else concerned in
relation to the labor troubles. Some
time ago, much impressed with the ne
eessity of some sort Of arbitration board,
composed of persons whose character
would give confidence to employees and
EMPLOYERS and whose authority would
be respected, he did think Of calling the
attention Of Congress TO the subject as
one demanding early consideration, but
he learned that it wonld be suggested by
one OF the committees of the House, and
he has done no more than make some
suggestions to Mr.. O'Neill.
The Chief Justice has announced the
following order: Ordered that the fol-
lowing regulations Re established under

or Judge declining to grant a writ of
habeas corpus, the custody OF the pris.
oDers shall not be disturbed. Second,
pending an appeal from the final decision
Of any court or Judge discharging writ
after it has been issued the prisoner shall
be remanded to the custody from which
he was taken by writ or shall for good
cause shown be detained in the custody
OF the court or judge.
Third, pending an sppeal from the
final decision OF any court or judge dis
a prisoner he shall be en-
larged upon recognizance with surety for
his appearance to answer to the judg
ment OF the appellate court except when
for special reasons sureties ought not
to be required.

compass. II is said that railroad mag
mates. proverbialfor their segacity and
enterprise in railroad matters, have spok-

ture Idianapolis of the Pacific Coast,
based mainly on the fact that the San
Gorgonio pass to the east and the Caion
pass sothe north offer the only practicable
and the shortest transcontinental routes
for railroads to reach the Pacific Coast
and Cotton is their converging point. "
There are excellent prospects for
two other roads to this point in the near
future, besides a branch Of the s. 2. rail
road to San Jacinto and other points in
the interior OF San Diego county, to tap
that rich region. The manufacturing
interests of Cotton are numerous and i'm

the place is greater than usual for a city
of its size. There are here some excel
lent schools, several churches, secret or
