Uphold Law and Order.

There can be no question but that
the sentiments Of the people are add
verse to the outlawry which exists in
some sections of this State. 1t is also
unquestionsble that public opinion is
opposed to self-constitutsd regulators
becoming judge, jury and executors of
their own sentences of condemnation.
1t will take something more than
mere denunciation and resolutions to
abate this growing evil.
In the Opelousas case the police
jury convened and declined to make
an appropriation to punish the regu-
lators. The citizens Immediately took
the matter in hand and subscribed
literally to fund to employ special
counsel to prosecute the peace defers,
and it is announced that no stone will
be left unturned to see the law vim
Dictated.
Public opinion is all potent. When
ever the people uphold the majesty of
the law, are active and energetic in
sustaining the constituted authorities
and are earnest and swift to see it's
enforcement, the scenes and deplcra-
bic deeds which have been enacted in
several of the parishes will cease.
The conservative and orderly citizens
owe it to the safety of their families,
the peace and prosperity Of their
communities and the welfare of the
State at home and abroad, to sustain
the law and enforce its provisions
against all violators. Is Shreveport

Mr.. Wanamaker virtuallytadmitted
the charge brought against: him by
Senator Hampton when he notified the
Senator that the commission of the
new postmaster at Columbia, South
Carolina, would he withheld to give
the Senator an opportunity to be
heard if he desired tie oppose the ap-
pointment. Whether Senator HAM =
ton will take any further notice Of the
matter is not known here, but the
chances are that he will not.

Senator Hampton and PiOus John.

Senator Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, is gentleman OF the old
school. He does not understand or
appreciate modern commercial meth
ads in politics. and he clinSs to the
i,lea Of his fathers that in political
life as elsewhere the word of an
honest man is "a good as his bond.
These characteristics Of the South
Carolina statesman have brought a
clash with pious John, the wholesale
and retail clothier that bought a seat
in the Cabinet ut price which iudi-
Gated that the bulls had possession
Of the market at the time of purchase.
1t is all about the postmaster at
Columbia, Hamptou's home. Wana-
maker promised not to remove the
Democratic incumbent until the ex-
piration of his term in February
next, and voluntarily gave the South
Carolina Senator tho assurance that,
since Columbia was his postoffice, no
appointment would be made without
consulting him. 1t will not surprise
the country to learn what the tele-
graph arprises us of-:bat both the
pledges given by Wanamaker were
disregarded, that the Democratic
postmaster has been removed, and
the new appointee was selected with
out consultation with Gen. Hampton.
This may be practical politics, but
it is also practical falsehood, and de-
serves the singing rebuke adniuie-
tered by the South Carolina Senator,
and published in the Times Demo
crat. The people-the honest people
will be some what interested to
know what notice Pious John will
take of the matter, though it will
surprise no one-not even the head
scholar of his Sunday school class
to see him take the position that the
issue is Of no Importance, and de.
serves no reply.-Times- Democrat.

NEW ORLEANS. NATCHEZ IND
FORT SCOTT R.sILROaD.

We learn from various sources that
active work is now progressing on
this road between Vidalia and Sicily
Island as we'll as on the Natchez
bluff on the east side of the river.
Work is going on on the river en-
cline and on Tensas river bridge. In
addition to the very large force on
the line, Col. s. i. James, lessee Of
the Louisiana penitentiary, has taken
q large contract and placed, last Fri
day, $50 convicts on the work.
The company have received two
engines and 50 cars for construction
trains, and have fine model barge in
the river to transport material &c.
across the river to Vidalia. A large
force has been in the woods for some
time and ties in vast numbers are
now being delivered along the line.
Some fifteen to eighteen miles of
grading is already completed. Ten
miles Of steel rails are on the ground
and 1000 tons will arrive this week.
These facts show us that before we
know it, almost, the Steel Horse will
come putting and blowing up through
North Louisiana from Natchez. Let
ii come. The people of Franklin,
Richland and Morehouse will stsra
as one man for the;1 word and
their integrity, and will keep every
promise made this company, and will
shout themselves hoarse at the first
sight Of their deliverer; that will give
&hem pleasure; give them comforts
and conveniences; give them a market
and double and thribbls their in
heritances.

TIRE STATE CY.vF HSITF ONCE

The press Of the State has been
discussing the State University ques-
ton quite extensively of late. Some
favor the abolition of the institution;
others insis, that it should he Jre-
served. but reorgani=ej, while very
few urge that it is all right as ii
stands.
The Beacon does not think iE
should he abolished, but We do insist
that it should he reorganized and run
On a business basis with sound fnan
cisl Judgment hy the head Of affairs.
The university has l25 cadets, and
it's annual income is about S2l 800
As students pay their own board, and
are simply lodged and taught. the
annual cost per Enpil is $3.50 ter
tuition and room. Now is not thia
uudu!y excessive Or "a it reason
ableo This is the question TO b.
settled.
The Baton Rcnge Advocate ad-
vanccs the argument that a. only
$4,000 Of the $2l 800 received an
nually by the University comes from
the State, it is not proper to discuss
the question Of cost per capita. This
is rank fallacv The United States
government gave certain lands to the
State. the proceeds Of the sale of
which were TO be applied to an insti-
tuition OF the grade Of our present
State University. Now, it is clearly
our duty to expend this money with
due economy, or to return it to the
generous donor. The money was not
intended to- benefit the State Uni
versi:v as an institution. 1t was in
tended to benefit the boys who should
be educated there. We owe it to the
United States government and to our
boys to see to it that this money is
wisely expended, And it is not wise
ly expended when $3.50 is paid for
the tuition and room of boy nine
months in the wear. This is unde-
niable.

whether it hurts the branches or not.

1t ia not often We hear of n death
that affects us more than the subject OF
this notice. j. A. Thompson known
as Jack Thompsop) who died in
Autauga CO., Ala, on Wednesday,
November 9th, 1889. came to this
country just before the breaking out
of the war. He enlisted in a com
pany from Bastrop and served
through the war, receiving wounds
AMI also got wounded after tho war.
Few knew or realized the intense
suffering of this man. He suffered
from a permanent sore caused by a
wound, for years.
When the writer first met Jack
Thompson it was over in the sixth
ward of this parish. He WAS a can
didate for Clerk and the writer was
a candidate for Recorder. Each Of
fee had half dozen nspirants. The
writer was successful and Mr.. Thomp-
som was defeated. Four ears rolled
around ara We found Mr. Thompson
rs one OF our opponents. As before.
he was d. ated, being the third out
Of four candidates. The writer COM
ing in ahead. In all this time the
best of feeling existed between Mr.
Thompson and the writer. Jack
Thompson married All ex mt lad, :.
Mrs. Grimshaw, at this place, who
only had one child at that time. n
bright boy, Robert Grimshaw now
a resident Of Vernon, Jackson parish.
There WIS bern to this union two
interesting children, boy and girl,
after which the mother died and the
Thompson children are now with
their relatives in Alabama.
That J. A. Thompson had faults
none will deny, but not withstanding
all this he had some noble traits If
character. He was of a good family
and although rather q renegade,
showed where he came from. He
was generous to q fault.

The President and the Election
Law.

The President has practically de-
clared that he will support and assist
with the influence and power Of the
administration a Federal election bill,
aimed at the Southern States, placing
the control Of the congressional cleo
tons in the hands of bis own appoint
ess. DIR. Edmunds told him that lie
thought she present an suspicious
time for pressing such legislation; and
the latter replied that he was inclined
to follow the leading minds Of the
party (srch as himself, Edmunds,
Sherman, Hoar, aad others, in favor
of supervision of the polls IN the
South.
This will create no particular sur
prise. 1t has been felt from the first
that the President sympathized with
the movement to establish big Fed
eral election force, and that he would
be with Sherman, Hoar and others in
their conspiracy against popular gov
eminent.
But while this alliance will undoubt
edly aid them in their campaign with
in the party, it will only prejudice
their cause before the people. 1t has
been pointed out that the Federal
election laws suggested by Messrs.
Sherman, Houk and others, provide
for the creation OF 100000 more Fed
eral officials to be appointed by the
President, thus making the Presidency
a practical dictatorship. With an
army Of 500, 600 officials, all his APP
pointees, and with the power to count
the vote and deteru,ine who are
elected to Congress, the President, it
ie needless to say, can continue him.
self in Office forever or name his own
successor. To vote him this power,
will be to vote him absolute aud
dictatorial control of the government
The people are beginning to recognize
this fact, and they will see in the
action Of the Precedent and the back
ing he is giving the movement, a
desire on his part to get the control Of
affairs in his own hands. There are
many thousands Of men who vote the
Republican ticket who do not like the
idea Of dictatorship; and when they
become satisfied, as they will be by
the discussion over this BILL that it
sntrusts the President with too much
power and endangers the liberty Of
the country, its advocates will meet
with even more opposition inside their
party than they find to-day. The
very fact that the President favors
the bill, which grants him such great
power. will naturally create a sus-
picion in the minds of many and do
the measure more harm than the good
done by Harrison's support.-Times-

Supreme Court Decision.

SHREVEPORT, La, Nov. ia
telegram received to-day from New
Orleans, By Wise & Herndon, attor-
neys for the road, says that in the
case Of the Ficksbnrg, Shreveport &
Pacific Railway company VS.. j. NJ.
Sledge. appealed from Webster par
ish, the Supreme court of Louisiana
reversed the decision Of the lower
court. This was test case for the
purpose Of settling the title to over
100000 acres of land, donated by the
United States Government in 1856 to
the State, to aid in the construction
of railroad between Vicksburg and
point west of Shreveport on the
Texas line. The road net having
been built in ten years, common
opinion prevailed that the grant be-
came forfeited, and in consequence, a
great deal of the land has been occu-
pied by persons believing they would
ultimately acquire title from the
Government This decision settles
the question, and gives the absolute
title to the railroad.-Commercial
Herald.
1t has been said that the railroad
failing to earn these lands west of the
Ouachita that the roads title was not
good. but this seems to settle that
fact in favor Of the railroad company.
