HAPPY CAMERON !

Cameron parish, in the southwest,
ern corner of this state, ought certain
ly to be the happiest as it cestainly is
the most unique parish we ever heard,
of. The Lake Charles Commercial
informs us that at the recent session of
the district court held there not SIM
ale criminal case appeared ON the court
docket, and that such had been uni
formly the case for several years. We
doubt if parallel to this can be
found anywhere in America. We
distinctly remember the time the press
convention met at Lake Charles and
the editors went on q junketing tour to
the. gulf, how much surprised every
body was on arriving at the county
seat to find that the Jail was not only
devoid of criminals, but had actually
been rented out to some thrifty far
mers for use as corn crib!
While we congratulate the good
people of Cameron on their highly
moral state, we can not but express a
feeling of sympathy for the lawyers,
criminal officers, and other gentry
who must necessarily thrive on the
misfortunes of the masses, and who,
in the very nature of things must suf-
fer in the present condition of affairs
in our sister parish. It is also a sig
nifcant fact that Cameron has NO
newspapers, railroads, telegraphs, real
estate agents, banks, saloons, few
schools and other necessities of mod.
ern times. Upon the introduction OF
these the morals of the parish will re.

ILLEGAL FINANCIERING.

August 1st nicely dressed man rode
up to a Kanssa City jewelry store,
during the busiest hour of day, left
his horse unhitched in the street, and
walked in and asked to look at tray
of diamonds he had been examining
the day previons. When the tray was
set out the thief grabbed handful
of diamonds and rushed for his horse.
The animal became frightened at his
approach and ran. away. The thief
ran down to a cross street.. jumped on
a passing street car and made his es-
cape. The diamonds stolen are valued
at $4,000. On the evening of Aug.
3rd, two masked men boarded an out
going train from Kansas City by jump
ing On to the rear end of the sleeper.
They "went through" the sleeper, and
were proceeding. forward when they
met the conductor and told him to
throw up his hands. Thinking it was
some of the train boys trying to play a
joke on him, the conductor laughingly
showed them aside, when a cooked
revolver was thrust under his nose.
Realizing the situation the conductor
bravely smashed his lamp over the
head of one of the robbers. The rob-
bers fred three shots at him (none of
which took effect), and jumping off
the train escaped. Two old-fashioned
"Jesse James" robberies in a week is
pretty good for Kansas City.
Train robbing is quite fashionable
amusement at present. On August
4th six masked men held up the Fort
Worth and Denver express, in Oldham
county, Texas, and robbed the mail
and express cars of $4,000. The pas
sengers were not molested, and no one
was hurt. The six gentlemen are a
large.

VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER.

The entire value of good newspa-
per is rarely estimated by the average
reader. One looks upon it simply as
the chronicle of passing events. An
other looks upon it as the exponent or
defender of a cherished idea, with
which he is in sympathy. The news
paper is more than this; tits conducive
to morality, honesty, and the general
welfare of the community in which it
is issued. Many little peccadillos are
nipped in the bud by the wholesome
dread of exposure through the news
paper. Men are more circumspect
when they know that the argus eye of
the reporter or local editor is upon
them. Thieves dread and hate the
newspapers, because all their schemes
and modus operandi are laid bare be-
fore the public eye. The newspaper
is looked upon by the criminal classes
Of the community as the lighthouse is
viewed by the wrecker; while it con-
tinues to illuminate, their occupation
There are but three classes of men in
every communicable retrogade, the
stationary, and the progressive, The
two former have little or no regard for
the newspaper or its influence and
read it simply to find out "what is
going on" but who could fold their
arms and see it die with the utmost
complacency, leaving the progressive
portion of the community as the only
real sufferers. The. retrograde and
stationery class of every community
are generally the critics of the news.
papers, and Steele truthfully said;
"Of all mortals a critic is. the silliest;
for by inuring himself to examine all
things, whether they are of conse-
quence or not, he never looks upon
anything but with design of passing
sentence upon it."-The Press and
Printer.

APPLAUDING A BABY.

In early days in California woman
could hardly walk through the streets
of San Francisco without having every

was SO rare that once in theatre in
the same city where woman had
taken her infant, when it began to
cry, just as the orchestra began to
play, man in the Pit cried out,

me hear the baby cry; haven't

The audience applauded this senti-
ment, the orchestra stopped, and the
baby continued its performance and

DEVEAUX COMMISSIONED.
A CoLoRED EDITOR HoNORED.


Savannah Tribune.
Col. John II. Deveaux, late edi-
tor Of the Tribune, baS received
his commission as Collector of Gus,
toms for the DIStrSct of Brunswick, ,
Ga, from the President, and will
next week be in the discharge of tt e
duties of the office. The appoint.
ment has given the greatest salts
faction to all classes of people at
his home in Savannah, and through
out the entire State, as shown by
the numerous letters aud kilograms
OF congratulations. The new cOllec.
tor has taken the appointment
quietly with a full knowledge of the
responsibilities of the pos ton.
A strong fight was made against
Col. Deveaux by certain gentlemen
in Brunswick on account of his col
or, but his friends felt all along
that opposition on that ground was
useless and would have 10 standing
in the court of the present Repub-
lican administration.
From our knowledge of the new
appointee we can safely say that
the good people of Brunswick will
have no reason to regret his seIec-
ton by the President. Nine tenths
of the Republicans of Brunswick
are gratified at the appointment
and merchants and others having
business at the Custom House of
that growing and thriving city will
have no cause to complain.
Being Georgian by bilrh Col.
Deveaux has always felt great
pride in bis State nOtwith standing
her faults. He takes broad view
of GeOrgians rights and prlvil-
eges and will feel himself as much
at home in Brunswick as he would
in Savannah, and feel it to be his
obligation to do all in his power
that is proper for the best interest
of Brunswick which is in his Con.
gressional district.
The Tribune management will
miss Col, Deveaux's valuable servi,
ces, and heartily commend him to
the good people of Brunswick, white
and colored with its best wishes
for his success

MARRIED WOMEN IN THE
SCHOOLS.

The action of School Trustee
Grimkie, at the meeting of the
School Board, on Tuesday evening,
dismissing certain married ladies
from school, because they refused
TO resign, meets the hearty approx.
al of the citizens. 1t was not only
Rev. Grimkie's duty, but it is an
uuwrltten law, that has been in
vogue in the schools from the time
the memory of man ruuneth not
to the contrary, that married wo-
men shall not teach.
The School Board has the right
to enact such laws for the govern
ment of the schools that will
not be repugnant to the cOnstitu.
ton of the q. s., and there j,
no court that will uphold any &C
that is contrary to the laws gov,
erning our schools. When Mes

A VALUABLE AND u
BUSINESS CALENDAR.

The most convenient, valuable,
and unique business table or desk
calendar, for 1890, is the Columbia
Bycicle and Stand. issued by the
Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, Mass
The Calendar proper is in the form
of a pad of 500 leaves each 55x24
in., one for each day in the year,
to be torn off daily, and one for
the entire year. A good portion
of each leaf is blank for memoran-
da. and as the leaves are not paste d
but sewedat the ends, any entire
leaf can be exposed whenever de-
sired. By an ingenious device the
leaveO tear off independently, leav
ing no stub. The portable stand.
which holds the pad, contains pen
rack and pencil holder, and is made
of solid wood, brass mounted. Up
on each slip appear quotations per-
to cycling from leading publica-
tions and prominent writer's, and
although this is the fifth year of the
calendar, the quotations are fresh
and new, mentioning the notable
facts in cycling, opinions of medi-
cal authorities. clergymen, and
other professional gentlemen, the
rights of eyclers upon the road, adj
vice upon costumes, directions
about road making, with occasional
mention of the bicycles and type
writer's made by the Pope Mfg. Co.,
aud the information therein con
tainod would, if placed in book
type, make a fair sized volume.

THE NEGROES DIVIDED.

Some few weeks ago Hon: John
NJ. Langston received letter
from Mr.. w. E. Matthews of this
city suggesting the propriety of
organizing a National League.
The correspondence between these
two gentlemen brought forth a
good deal of enthusiasm through
out the country among the colored
people. Ii has now come to hghI
that three different sets of men
have issued calls for national con-
ventions 10 me Z In different Sec
S;O.-->--f IT, c>-,,~--<-y-- H. ~'' .
dates. Each of the callers expect
to have a large representation;
they all have different views but
seem to have one object. What
is expected to be accomplishe we
are unable to state. Some have
the interest of the race at heart
and others aspire to leadership.
We are Of the opinion that the
whole matter should be submitted
to the people and let them decide
what Is best to be done. We
have this much confidence in the
American Negro that no set of
men In conventions assembled can
inaugurate any scheme to sell the
rights and liberties of he people
to any political party: We know
or believe that it will be attempted
or some one will attempt to COM
promise the negro race.
There are men who are
mean enough to sacrafice the best
interests of their people for sell
agrandizement.
We would suggest that all the
calls that have been issued be re-
called and conference of repre-
sentative men be called for the
purpose of considering the propri-
ely of calling a national conven-
tion by colored men. As it stands
now a great deal will be said and
nothing will be accomplished.
1t is true that Mr.. Fortune was
the first to issue call, for the or
gsnization of leagues; next in or~
der was John j. Jones of Chicago;
aud last but not least was the Bu-
reau of Relief of this city, call
fol- a convention to assemble In
Washington.
This state of affairs shows that
the so-called representatives oi
the race are divided among them
selves. 1t looks weak on the part
of a people who have been free for
rs years; it demonstrates their un-
fitness to organize to better the
condition of the masses.
There is but one way to have q
successful gathering and that way
would be 10 call a conference oi
men, in the states, who have the
respect and confidence Of the peo'
pie.
