Following mp its pet hobby of trying
to show that previous administrations
are responsible for present disorder,
the Democrat has an article last week
in which it asks:
when before was white man con-
victed of murder here, by white jury
or a jury of any complexion, for killing
a negro ?"-St. Landry Democrat, De-
tober 18th.
A sufficient answer to this question
would be the propOunding of another,
viz: When before, in the history of
this parish, or any other civilized conn
try, were two manacled and helpless
prisoners, in the custody of a deputy
sheriff, riddled with bullets one killed
and the other desperately wounded
and nobody hing for the deed
But we can give the Democrat a cat.
egorical answer and say that we can
uame at least one instance in this par
ish where white man was not only
convicted of murder bnt sentenced to
be hanged, for killing negro, and
the victim wasn't assassinated while
handcuffed and tied, neither.
He was not hanged, for Kellogg com
muted bis sentence TO Imprisonment for
| life, and he died in the penitentiary.
But again We say we fail to see what
good would be accomplished by the
Democrat even if it proved its theory
/ to be correct Some good might be eff
| fected, however, were it to direct its
efforts to the snppressing of present
lawlessness instead of indnlging in idle
| sneculations as to its cAnse.

The corner in wheat' has checked
the exports 10 foreign countries. and, as
European crops are short this year, a
stimulus will be given to plant much
larger area in wheat hereafter. which
may seriously impair the prices of fu
tnre crops. SpeculatnFs may yet find
that they are t'killing the goose to get
the golden egg" besides injuring the
agricultural prospects of large section
of our country. Inthe long run legiti-
mate profits are better for the merchant
as we'll as the consumer.

Giving the Democrats Chances.

The New York Tribune says: Speaking
of bets, what's the matter with these:
Sl00 that Cleveland weighs more On
B.-someways) than Thurman.
800 that the tail wags the head of the
Democratic ticket.
500 that Cleveland feels like kicking
himself every time he thinks of that para
graph in his first letter of acceptance pro
testing against the eligibility of the Pres
ident for reelection as "a most seriou,
danger" to the common veal.
500 that the difference between tariff
reform (Cleveland-Mills PATENT and free
trade is fully as significant as the differ
ence between tweedledum and tweedledee.
800 that the Star Spangled Banner, the
Republican gonfalon in this campaign, is
more patriotic and inspiring emblem thar
the red bandana dem.
500 that no mince-meat was evel
chopped finer than the Federal office
holders have chopped the "order" which
the President addressed to them.
500 that in any list which Mr. Cleve
land prepares of "Books That Have Helped
Me- he gives the place of honor to a good.
working cyclopedia.
500 that the cry Of "free whisky
raised by the Democracy-the never-fail
ing champion of the saloons-against tn,
tariff plank of the party that has been the
steady and efficient friend of practica
temperance reform will deceive no person
with head on his shoulders outside of ;
retreat for incurables.
500 that Mr.. Cleveland does not wan
to compare war records with General Har
rison.
500 that Mr.. Cleveland helped save tn,
Union by means of a substitute, and tina
Ben Harrison got there in person.
These bets to be taken singly or in
lump. This is a golden opportunity fo
gentlemen who are fond of placing wager
on elections.

New MetropoIitan rheatre.

Probably the largest audience ever called
together by dramatic entertainment in that
house, assembled last night in the Metro
politan. AS early as half past six, lines to
the box Office were formed. Many were
unable TO gain admittance, and standing
room was at premium. Miss Davenports
personation of LA Tosca' was an artistic
effort of the first order, and the entire per-
formanoe by the company was of that
finished character possible only when a
drama is presented by thoroughly COM
petent people. Concerning Mr. Nc
Dowelrs Scarpia" it is sufficient
20 say that it was in its animal
passion, brutal force and inhumanity, a
mastery work. 1t is to be sincerely re-
gretted that Miss Davenport had excuse,
when called before the curtain, for shaking
her finger reproachfully at portion of the
audience. a considerable number of the
auditors in the upper circle mistook the
dominance of the religious sentiment that
prompts La Tosca, after killing Scsrpia, to
place tapers at his head ands crucifx upon
his breast, and breathe an inaudible prayer
for his soul, and made the scene the occa-
sion for mirth. The shock to the mass Of
the audience by such an interruption was
so manifest as to be in itself rebuke to
the iDtelligences that could not understand
the motive of the scene. The play itself,
so much debated, appears to justify such
objection as is taken to it-chiety in the
stimulation of gross animal passion by the
villain of the piece. Beyond that, il is not
more objectionable than the usual run of
sensational society dramas, and less so than
very many OF them.

Fruit marketing at Newcastle.

1t is stated that so good has been the de-
mand for Newcastle fruit in the East dur
ing the present season and so satisfactory
the prices obtained that everything there
in the fruit line is being cleaned out in
good shape. The fruit men around Colo
ma. Uniontown, Gold Hill and other
places in ri Dorado county, even as far as
thirty miles distant, have been quite largely
marketing their fruit at Newcastle. The
Newcastle people have as good facilities for
handling the fruit crop as any place in
Californis, the fruit being received at one
door of the fruit houses; the packages are
sorted over and then loaded in the cars at
the other end of the buildings, within one
hundred feet of where received from
the producers wagon. The fruit is there
fore picked, packed and marketed in the
forenoon, loaded in the cars in the after
noon and evening, and started by train the
same evening for the East.

How TO MAKE HENS LAY PROMPTLY
"A correspondent of the St. Louis
Medical and Surgical Journal tells the
story of hen who picked up and swal-
lowed a capsule which he had just filled
with quinine. She seemed well enough
satisfied at first, but in about ten minute,
became suddenly uneasy, and made bolt
for the back yard, where after hastily max
ing about three rapid scratches, she sal
down and deposited an egg on the naked
earth. The performance was evidently
wholly unprecedented on her part, for
after looking at the egg with quizzical
expression first with one eye and ther
with the other, she walked solemnly away
