to improve our Judiciary system. They
are we'll worthy the serious considera-
ton Of the people;
l. The abolition Of the Circuit courts
or courts Of Appeal.
=. Redistricting the State and
lesscning the number of districts.
5. Separating throughout the coun-
try parishes criminal and civil juris-
dictions.
/. Requiring in each civil district
the clerks Of courts to be shorthand
writers, or to hire them for each term
of court.
/ 5. Giving the civil district courts
unlimited Jurisdiction from $50 up
ward, and making their jurisdiction
final up to $500, except in questions
Of law, on which appeals would lay II
all cases when the amount exceeded
$500.
6. Making all Judges appointive fol
life or during good behavior.
:. Providing for the pay of Judge
and district attorneys by their res
pective districts.
s. Increasing the salary Of the su
preme and district Judges.

THE LATEST FEDERAL .APP ONT.
MENT.

After five months of suspense and
wrangling the most important federal
Offices in this district have at last been
filed by the appointment of Ex-Gov-
ernor H. C. Warmoth as collector of
customs for the port of New Orleans
and of John F. Patty of st. Mary as
naval officer. These appointments
are in the nature of surprises, as while
both the appointees were candidates
for the respective offices they have
secured they were not considered the
most likely to be successful.
The appointments are to be con-
sidered in the light of an effort on the
part Of the executive to secure an
adjustment of the differences that
have divided the Republican party in
Louisiana, but they are also to a great
extent evidences of recognition OF
the Coleman faction. The appoint
ment of so shrewd a manager as Gov
ernor Warmoth is a serious menace to
the Third Congressional District, as
his we'll known electioneering abili-
ties and influence in the party coun-
cile insure the arraying against the
Democracy of a full Republican vote
The appointment of Patty, who is a
colored man, and resident of the Third
District, is further evidence of the
administration interest in the cap.
ture Of the district. The Democrats
should therefore set seriously to work
to conduct most vigorous canvass
as they may be now assured that they
will have to fight not only a united
Republican party, but also the sub
stantial assistance of the Washington

SHE IS CHARGED WITH POISONING TWO
HUSBANDS.
CHICAGO, July 3l.-A Daily News
special from Aledo. H., says: Mrs

charged with poisoning a former

The woman's history is q remark.

She was married more than twenty

Ramsey soon after married a man By

Mr.. Colwin diel very suddenly

with her. Mrs Colwin was very will
ing to marry Artz, but he told hel

TIE D.GRKY ONCE MORE.

It is with peculiar pleasure that we
note the fact that al our very level
headed contemporaries have come TO
the conclusion long ago expressed by
the BEACON on the so-called gro
problem that the way out Of the
trouble Is to keep Sanbo out of poll
ties. keep him in the field, treat him
right, and let the matter alone.
Some very Intellectual gentlemen
who edit city dailies but 10 not work
uocroes on Louisiana plantations in
sist that white Labor can take the
place of black. and that sending the
negro from the State and bringing
white men into it, will solve tie prob
lem. As we have frequently pointed
ont in tha BEACON. this plan Will not
work. The negroes will not 90, and
We cannot make them 60; and The
white men coull not take their places
even if the darliies should leave. The
Southern negro AMI the Southern cot
ton plantation fit into each other as a
piston rod fits into = cylinder, and no
movement in behalf OF white immigra-
| ton can change this rock-ribbed fact.
There is another class Of estimable

insist that the fifteenth amendment

would be a good thing to repeal The

There is still another class of polit
ical physicians in this State VIII
prescribe an educational qualification

HOMICIDE At OAK RIDGE.

BAsTRoP, La, August SIT is re-

took place at Oak Ridge, sixteen
miles east of here, yesterday evening
between Mr.. w. H. Stripping and Mr..
J. Z. Price, both citizens Of that ward,
in which Mr.. STRIPPING was instantly
killed. a mutual friend, Mr.. ". I.
Barham, a merchant doing business
there, undertook to prevent trouble
between the parties and it is reported
was badly wounded in the endeavor
to separate them. As we hear it here
bad feeling had existed between the
parties for some time and was brought
to a climax upon the meetingy esterdy
of the two. 1t is reported that Mir
Price claimed to be justitiable in the
oct and will surrender to the authori-
ties to-day.-Times-Democrat.
We would make comments on The
above tragedy but as it might act
against the accused we desist. Had
Stripping killedPrice under the circum
stances, as we hear them, nothing
more would have been heard of it. i
is sad, indeed, for Stripping leaves

dent upon him for a support, and h'
