Difficulty at Fishville.

On Friday light last, at Fishvil'e
in Grant Parish, about Is miles from
Alexandria, Willie aud Thos David
sons of Mr.. Andrew David, popular
merchant of Pineville, and Wash anc
Irving Wainwright, VIII, live on Lit
tie river, had difficulty which resal
ted in the cutting of Willie David in
the neck, and the shooting of both the
Wainwrights, Irving in the right thigh
near the groin, and Wash in the RICH,
arm, above the elbow.
The particulars of the killing as
near as we can learn, are that on the
night of the commission of the deed
above mentioned a dance was given
at Mr.. Emmett Walkers, in Fishville
at which both the Davids and both
the Wainwrights were in attendance
The commencement of the affair was
when Willie David was dancing with
a young lady when Wash Wainwright
walked over to where he was and
struck him in the face with a fan,
David asked Wainwright not to do
that, and rose and went and com.
planned to Mr.. Walker Of what Vain
wright had done. Then it was, SO
report says, that Wainwright, over
hearing the conversation between
Walker and David, made at David
with his knife, David retreating to
the front gallery, off of which he fell,
Wainwright still pursuing him, knife
in hand and David afterfalling drew
his revolver and fired, the ball taking
effect near the muscle of the right
arm of Wainwright, which paralyzed
his arm, rendering it impossible for
Wainwright to use his knife. 1t was
then that young Wainwright rushed
up with knife in hand and cut David
in the neck. Accounts differ as to
when and by whom the younger Vain
wright was shot.
The Davids were both sober-one
of the Wainwrights is said to have
been under the influence of liquor.
AT the time of the difficulty, in try
ing to separate David and Wainwright,
MIR. Walker received nine cuts in diff
ferent parts of his clothing, inflicted
by the latter's knife.
There is no doubt bnt that the Da-
vids acted on the defensive all the
way through the difficulty.
The Davids arc qnite young, IS
and 20; the Wainwrights, father aud
son, SIS and 90. Neither of the Vain
wrights are seriously wounded; the
cut of David is an ugly one, and has
caused him much pain. 1t is hoped
that he will recover.

not the School Board remedy the mat
teri The promise has been made to do
SO. This is not the first time we have

for tue matter will soon be found

upon this peculiar phase OF the rate war
now in full Hast as permanent emanci-
patton FROM what the Pioneer Press is
pleased to tall 1.-The foreign and hostile
policy maintained by Chicago against
the twin cities" There is good reason
to believe, however, that this exhibition
of exuberance is premature. The fierce
rate war between the lake routes and
the trunk lines is likely to burn itself
out in a short time and truce will be
patched up il no better understanding
can be reached which will secure to the
powerful trunk lines from Chicago to
the seaboard their per centage OF busi-
ness. Chicago is bound to secure her
share of patronage cost what it may.
The benefit that may come will not inure
to st. Paul. If the lake and rail routes
can fix the freight tariff to suit them
selves. the roads traversing Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Dakota centering
in Chicago will so adjust their schedules
in conjunction with the trunk lines to
the seaboard as to meet any rate the
lake routes may name.

political. The distinguished editor OF
the New York Sun then disclosed the
talent which, under the improving in
fluence of later conditions, has enabled
him to make newspaper in all respects
a model of excellence, and it is prob
able that were Mr.. Greeley now
living and in newspaper work his faith
would be as strong in the saving power
of the political editorial, whatever else
was wanting, as it ever was.
The civil war created demand for
news and developed the news instinct in
journalism. 1t forced the newspaper
into its most useful channel and its mosS
profitable function. 1t was one Of the
compensauons OF that conflict that it
lifted journalism out of the old rut and
put it upon new and far better course
of effort and enterprise. 1t compelled
tho newspaper to make the full
lest use of the telegraph. 1t
brought about the institution of cor
respondence on large scale.
1t introduced system of news gather
ing which. III its later development, has
given employment to some of the bright
est minds in journalism. With the in
coming of this change the newspaper
not only entered upon new career of
usefulness. but one also of prosperity.
1t found a thousand readers for every
hundred it had before, and with the
growth of business there came necessar-
lily an increase of power and influence.
In this true course journalism will al
ways remain. 1t must do so to be sue
to have its editorial opinions. 1t will
still have it's preference for poll
tical parties. But it cannot have great
success il it be not equal to every de-
mand for the news from II public thor
Oughly educated to desire for news.
Great as the attainment of journalism
has been in this country, it can not be
assumed that the highest possibilities
have been reached, although it may
not be quite easy to see what further
progress can be made. Our leading news
papers are q daily compendium OF events
the world over, and with few eXcep-
tons they are written with the
highest order of ability. The best
literary talent finds Its most profit
| able employment on the newspaper,
| and year by year the test for those who
| seek the higher class of journalistic
work is becoming on the leading papers
more severe. Newspaper work is at
tended now by fewer of the difficulties
and disadvantages than beset it years
| ago. In all departments it is less ex-
acting. But it is calling for a higher
order of talent and requirements.
Therefore in respect of literary excel
| lence in it's general work the newspa-
per of the future will perhaps surpass
those of to-day. But beyond this there
really appears little scope for furth er
| attainment

IF the people of that part OF Florida
which runs its arm into southern Ala
bama succeed in annexiug it to the lat
ter state, great change may be eX-
pected in that quarter. Alabama in
that event will be able to secure coast
line of some one hundred and fifty miles
in length which would be highly ac-
ceptable to that state from business
point of view. Florida, however, would
not only lose an area of some seve n
thousand square miles but would have
a large population transferred toe rival
state. There is consequently great OPP
position to the project by middle and
east Florida both on the ground of ma
terial interests and for the reason that
the cession Of west Florida, mainly
populated by the whites, would make
Florida a republican state.
