The Killing Of Giovanni Bienca.

The people of Thibodaux were
shocked and surprised last Monday
morning at finding the murdered body
of Giovanni Bienca lying in Il pool of
blood in his room ON the corner of
Main and Jackson street. The unfor-
tunate man had received a bullet in
the right temple, which passed through
his brain and lodged in the skull in
the back Of the head. Death was in
Simultaneous.
The deceased was an Italian shoe
maker who had resided here about ten
months, was industrious, quiet, digni-
fed, and had obtained the good will Of
everybody who had formed his ac-
quaintancc. The corO1 e was sum-
moned, who Immediately formed a
jury and proceeded to investigate.
The jury, after examining all the wit
nesses who knew anything about the
bloody deed, rendered a verdict that
death was caused by a gunshot wound
in the head, inflicted by Clifford Tan
ncr. The latter had already been ar
rested and i~ncarcerated in the Parish
Prison by the sheriff's deputies. W.
will only say that this killing is the
result Of the unnecessary and foolish
practice of carrying pistols.
Tho deceased was about to return
to his native land, Palermo, Italy, tt
bring his wife and children to this
place.

NJ. LocKRoY, stepfather of Victor
Hugo's grandchildren, has written a pre-
face for ''The Journalistic Year." that is
worthy of remark, for Mr.. Lockroy is a
thoughtful and brilliant writer, and is
known as one of the brain workers of
"Le Rappel" He admits, but half COM
plainingly, that revolution has taken
place in French journalism in the last
twenty years. For the French journal
was once merely the weapon of the sopho-
mores and the contraversalists, the men
of affairs outside of the politicians having
little to do with it. But now journals are
newspapers, and the people part and in
terest in them; the activities OF the people
are reflected in them; they mirror their
personality; they tell of their movements
in society as well as politics; they treat of
things as well as ideas; they describe
events, adventures, discoveries and inven-
tions, and do something more than discuss
politics, diplomacy and theories. Now,
Mr.. Lockroy doubts if this is progress,
and asks if the new order isnot the result of
infection from America. Possibly, but if SO,
French journalism should have been in
fected long before this. If the press Of
America reasons too little and treats OF
personality too much, the press of France
has, until a comparatively recent date,
been open to a graver objection-it rea-
soned too much and treated of things,
actualities and the people, as individuals,
too little.

A CASE IN POINT.

IN our forcfathcrs' days, pimples were at
tribated to diseased blood. But modern
medicine has demonstrated that rich food
does not create cruptions by fouling the
blood, bit re.artls digestion, which makes
the stomach torpid. and the circulation
slugrish, ana IL turn causes an enfeebled
aetion Of the pores which oongest or become
pirnply. The modern theory therefore is not
to treat the blood, bat the stomach and liver,
and it is under this new idea. that Joys Nege-
table sarsapariIa was conceived. It is wiF-
ing the oil blood disease idea out of ez-
istence. 4 case in point: :" 1 have had for
years spells OF indigestion and dyspepsia ana

THE TROUBLE IN MONTANA.

The trouble in the Medicine Bow pre-
cinct, Montana, and upon the decision con-
corning which the political complexion of
the Legislature depends, may be thus
stated: In the precinct there are 200
votes. The voters are all railroad graders
and track-layers engaged in building rail-
way to Gallatin from Butte. The night
before the election the boss of the working
gangs called them together and made this
little speech-short, but effective:
We have a new system of voting this year
and it is impossible for the bosses to tell how
man votes. Now, men. l have simply this to
say, that unless very large proportiOd of the
votes which shall come out of this box tonight
are straight Democratic every man in this camp
may consider himself discharged tomorrow
morning.
There were cast 182 votes, and all but
four were straight Democratic. The
Courts are now asked to reject the returns
of this precinct on the ground that in
timidation was used, and that the ballot
was not free and fair If the voters re-
fered to were not coerced, we do not un-
derstand the meaning OF the word. In
Montana Republican Legislature
adopted the Australian system of balloting,
and as the speech of the boss which we
have quoted proves, the balloting under it
was secret, and no method could be de-
vised to defeat it. The Montana Demo
cracy antagonized this law and denounced
it as an attempt to steal the election. 1t
made strong fight against the bill before
the Legislature, and though the measure
passed and became law, the party still
denounced it. Now, however, the reten-
ton of the returns of the Medicine Bow
precinct will give the Legislature to the
Democracy, and it is therefore making a
hot fight for the validity Of the election,
while the Republicans are equally urgent
that the returns for Medicine Bow pre-
cinct shall be thrown out for the reasons
stated. That is to say, as the Helena
Gazette puts it,
The Democratic patty has been caught with
stolen goods in its possession and Stimulates a
virtuous Indignation that if genuine would as
tert itself against the perpetrators of the crime
rather than against the officers who seized the
goods in transit and are compelling the posses
sors 10 show how they came into possession.
The Republicans demand the matter shall be
investigated in the courts. The Democratic
managers demand that there shall be no inves-
tigation. These are facts How do they pre-
sent themselves to unprejudicad observers? No
honest man is afraid of justice. 1t is the guilty
who fear and evade il.
Assuming the facts to be as stated above,
and that the accounts which reach here are
correct, there should be rejection Of the
precinct returns-and it would make no sort
of difference with US in reaching judgment,
were the Republican, or any other party
than the Democratic, interested in having
the returns counted

doctor, and not being familiar with the
condition OF the west side of Third street,

THOSE DEER HIDES.
Mr. Blair Claims They Are Not Proc
of a Violation of Law.

Mr. Blair Claims They Are MOI froof
of a Violation of Law.
In the article in yesterdays issue refer
ring to the arrest of John Blair on charge
of having in his possession deer skins
the carcasses from which they had been
taken, it was stated that the officers had
procured two such skins as evidence. Mr..
Blair thinks the statement prejudices the
case. He claims that he will be able to
show in Court that the skins in question
do show evidences of sex, and that he will
be able to so prove.
To that extent Mr.. Blair may be correct.
1t is claimed by some persons that the sex
of deer may be determined even by a
piece of the hide-in short. by the hair,
texture of the skin, etc. But the law does
not say that it is unlawful to possess deer
skin from which all evidences Of sex had
been removed, but from which [any1 evil.
dence of sex" etc. 1t seems to be clear
enough that, if any portion of the skin that
might show evidence of sex had bsen re-
moved, the skin comes within the word
and intent of the law.
Again, it may be that this law like
great many others drawn By legislators
who do not understand their subject or the
force of the English language) is fatally
defective, and if it be so the sooner the fact
is discovered the better. For instance, the
law prohibits the killing of female deer at
any time, but it does not expressly say
that it shall be unlawful for person to
have doe-skin in his possession, although
that is really what it was meant to imply.
Now, suppose defendant goes into Court
sd nf n oh
bearing all the evidences of sex, can he be
convicted? The law says, in effect, that
evidences of sex shall not be removed"
and the defendant says, Here they are
now what are you going to do about it p"
To be sure, somebody killed the doe
from which such skin was taken, but where
is he? Who is he? Nobody can mistake
the intent of the provision of the law under
consideration, which is to prevent the
killing of does. 1t seeks to prohibit any
person from buying, selling, or having in
his possession the skin of doe in order
that the business of hide hunting may not
prosper. One purpose is undoubtedly to
enable the officers to trace the skin to the
man who killed the doe, and another is to
prevent (by fine) any person from receiv-
ing its skin or keeping it in his possession.
If the provision of the law in respect to
the latter is weak or defective, let the fact
be made known by the Courts, SO that some
schoolboy may write law (for the Legis-
lature to pass that will serve the purpose
intended by the present one.
1t is not certain that the present law is
defective. Its meaning is certainly plain
enough, but it remains for the Courts to
pass upon it, and the tribunals of this
county are as well able as those of any
other to solve the problem.

NORTHERN B0OMLAND.
What an Observant Citizen Saw in the
Great Northwest.

Great Northwest.
Selden Hetzel, Register of the Federal
Land Office in this city, and who returned
on Monday from visit of two weeks to
Oregon and Washington, expresses himself
in the most enthusiastic terms concerning
the great Northwest. During his travels,
he visited Spokane Falls, Ellensburg, Ia
coma, Seattle and all the important cities
and towns in Washington. and-while he
describes them all as hourishing and pros
perous-he thinks that Seattle is the live
lest place to-day in the Union.
Mr.. Hetzel said he must confess to feel
ing of real enthusiasm regarding that Sec
ton. ~ really feel, ;" he said to RECORD
UNION reporter, "ss if had been spending
u couple Of weeks in Dresmland or Para
disc. l was prepared to witness great
changes in that part of the country, but the
situation was beyond anything l had
dreamed of"
Then Seattle is rapidly recovering from
the effects of the great fire?"
Recovering? Why, it is safe to say that
almost every square yard of ground there
contains workman or mechanic. The
city is being rebuilt on scale of real mag
niticence The buildings are all of the
most modern type, and the streets are being
graded in true metropolitan style. A splen-
did system of cable roads is being intro
duced, and there is a fine electric motor
road also in operation"
as capital plentiful there, and are the
investors generally Eastern menu
Eyes; there is no end to the capital
ready for investment in Seattle, and it
mostly all belongs to Eastern men. In
deed, it is Fasteners who are doing all the
work of building up the city. Money can
be had there for eight per cent. per annum,
if put into good buildings. Why, the
President of the Board of Trade assured
me that the new buildings recently erected
and now in course of construction-taking
nothing less than four.story structures,
supplied with all modern Improvements
would, if placed side by side IN row and
close together, extend for a mile in length"
And you regard the boom as not of an
ephemeral character

has great and undeYeloped resources, and
ii looks as if great aud prosperous sec
ton will be built up and developed in that
part of the country. The overflow of capt.
tai and immigration which is apt TO result
from such a boom will find its way into
Northern California, which is also rich in
undeveloped resources, and ultimately this
State will profit from the rush that is now
going on in the direction of these North
western cities"
