TIE "race war;" in Louisiana, seems,
according to all accounts, to be nothing
more nor less than an unprovoked and
~premeGitated assault by white ~rufians
upon a pcaceable and u~noffending picnic
party of men, women and children,
whose only offense was their color. Not
content with killing and wounding sew
eral of the number, and terrorizins the
rest, the New Orleans hoodlums carried
their sport still further, and playfully
made a bonfire of a negro church. The
New Orleans Times Democrat is moved
out of its usual calm by this outrage,
and calls for the punishment of the per-
petrators, and of the participants in the
riot, of whatever color. Past ex-
perience allows no reason for think
ing that the white men engaged
in the affair will receive their deserts,
but something of an advance in public
opinion is indicated when such a thing
is boldly suggested. White supremacy
must be maintained, however, if all the
negro pickaninnies get bullet-hOles
through them, and every negro church
is burned to the ground in the opera
ton. The Caucasian race is a great
one, no doubt, but it sometimes fails
to distinguish itself in conflicts with
the people it is pleased to call inferior.
ALI Associated Press dispatches from
the South come from Democratic
sources, and are VIGOROUSLY untrust-
worthy in their accounts of race
troubles. The n printed yesterday
has an. evident attempt to conceal the
worst features of the massacre, and
throw the responsibility of the affair on
the negroes. Special dispatches disclose
the utter brutality of the attack and
place the responsibility where it belongs.
The picnic, OF excursion party, was given
by the colored Baptist churches of three
or four villages, and the people who took
part in it were mostly church members.
The attack was made while they were
disembarking from the train, and by a
party of white men already armed with
shotguns, revolvers and Winchester
rifles. The negroes were unarmed, and
fled in all directions. The attacking
party continued to fire on them as long
as they were within range, and then
turned their attention to church burning
and plundering the houses of the fugitive
negroes. The massacre is one of the
most shocking IN record, even in that
country of massacres.

definite arrangements have been de-
cided On for building the monument at
Washington. The Post has little to say
of this phase of the matter, other than
to suggest that Congress appropriate a
sum for the purpose; but if an a%ppropri-
alton is to be made New York has an
equal right to claim it. The monument
should be built by the people, and con-
tributions would be easy to obtain were
the location one to please them.

Resenting the Invidious Comparison.

The lone ~highwayman of Wisconsin il
described as worse than Black Bart. There
seems to be no comparison between the two.
Bart never shot into a loaded coach, nor
gun, as this Wisconsin brute did. In fact,
Bart had reduced highway robbery as near
ly to fine art as 1t has ever been brought in
this world, and it is an outrage on his repu-
tatiOn as an accomplished artist to couple
him with a common butcher, who takes fife
for a watch and a few dollars.

Much Ado ABOUT Notbinp.

Considerable time was wasted in the Pc
lice Court yesterday over one of the most
trivial of cases. 1t was the case of Edward
Patterson, who was charged with disturb
ing the peace of Fred. Cuthnocht, hostler
employed at the City Brewery. 1t ap-
peared from the evidence given in the case
that the brewery people did not like Patter-
son very much, considering him an old
crank" and found great delight in annoy
ing him. Last night Cuthnocht tore a
board from the side of Pattersons house,
and Patterson reported the matter to Cap
tain Ruhstaller, proprietor of the brewery.
Cuthnocht happened along while Patter-
son and Ruhsraller were talking, and Pat
terson pointed him out to the proprietor.
The hostler then called Patterson a vile
name and Patterson returned the compli-
ment. That was all there was to it. Cuth-
nocht was as much, if not more to blame
than Patterson, and so the Judge found.
Grove l.. Johnson defended Patterson,
and had no trouble in securing the acquit-
tai of his client.
