It is woree than useless to discuss the
Lafayette affair any further. If it is
right, wise and proper to uphold the
law, the Times Democrat is right, and
that's an end to 1t. Let our friends Of
the press dismiss the subject. put on
their thinking caps and see if they can
not devise means to avert future out
breaks. We lay it down as an incon-
trovertible proposition that these out.
breaks must occur and increase in vio-
lence as long as two antagonistio races,
numerically equal, or nearly so, with
equal civil and political rights, inhabit
the same country. There will be less
friction if the whites largely predoni-
nate. How can that large prepouder-
ance be secured-by wholesale white
| immigration OR wholesale colored ego
dus9 And how are we to secure either,
or bothf Or does the remedy lie /" an
educational or property qualification fnt
voting and holding officeP Or in the
repeal of the l4th and 18th amend
meuts9 These be live questions. Is
the press afraid to discuss them J White
primaries are temporary expe,lieht ;

bery and corruption are unworthy &

Put e In Writing.

Verbal contracts occasion more trou-
Bile. dispute and litigation than sny
other business transactions. The Wise
merchant, Taught by experience will
enaeavor to have writing executed by
the party to be charged, 10 every case
az Importance arising in his business.
This is especially necessary of guaran
tees. A man enters your office whom
you know to be perfectly responsible.
He tells you to sell Brown q thousand
dollars worth of goods. Brown 10 all
right, he will answer for that, ETC.
Make him sign memorandum.
You engage salesman for year, OIL
for a mouth, or for trial trip. Have
il all put down in writing and signed.
You save taking Your chances before

uncertain and too sympathetic witt

but it usually saves heap OF trouble
in the future. Trade Mark Record.

0urio Lake.

We have often had occasion to sneak
Of this artificial lake, on former occa-
sions, as place Of resort for fishing,
boat rowing, dancrng aud amusement !;
now we can speak Of it IS d veIitable
"oasis" in our nov dry aud arid prai
ries west Of town. For miles upon miles
throughout thai section there is not a
drop of water left in the euIies and
bayous. The cattle and horses were
wandering around almost crazed aud
furnishing from burning thirst. The
clear waters Of the beautiful lake were
sacrificed to the cause of humanity. and
Meesrs Nolle Pitrs and Diomel Durio
gave their neighhors permission to use
it for watering their suffering stock.
From morning until evening great
herds of horses and cattle are driven
daily to this splendid reservoir, and
rnsh wildly into it's cool depths to sake
their raging thirst. 1t is safe to say
that three thousand animals drink there
daily, and if the drouth continues much
longer, even this large pool Will be ex'
hausted.
Now, just here we want to make &
practical and feasible suggestion, which
If followed out, will prevent any scare
ity of stock water by similar drought
in the future. There are gullies o,
more or less depth running through al
of our prairies. Let the farmers In
each neighborhood get together and
build strong dams, at different points
across these streams. The experience
of the present long drouth should ad
monish them to do this at once, for fea
Of another dry spell of weather in the
summer and early fall. "Durio Lake
was made by throwing up strong ant
high levee aoross a small gully. VIII,
cannot others initiate the example, ant
thus provide an abundance Of good
wholesome water for their stool
throughout the dry seasons7

Some os the Wonderful Changes IL will re,
yeSls


The census of 1890 will reveal many
wonderful changes The central line
Of population will be much nearer It's
Mississippi river than it was ten years
ago. A series of maps liksnbhose con
tanned 10 the LASH census, of gradua.
tions In color, to indicate the changes
In density of population, wealth, health
aud other important facts, will present
curious contrast with the maps tha,
we now have for the census of 1880, or
that of 1870. Over 5000, 900 acres of
land were sold il the last fiscal year
under the operation OF the homestead
and timber culture law. More than
1874 ,O00, 600 of acres have been settled
In the last eight years, representing a
larger area than the states OF Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio and Michigan.
The greatest changes have been made
IN the northwestern group Of states
and territories, comprising Dakota
Nebraska, Minnesota, Wyoming and
Montana, where nearly 10000, 900 Of
acres have been settled in the last eigh
years. In the southwestern group
comprising Kansas, Colorado, Missour
and.New Mexico, nearly 80, ,000, 600 o
acres have been occupied. On tho Pa
ciic coast 1900, 600 of acres Hpre have
been settled, aud 100000 of acre
must be added for the southern states
on both sides of the Mississippi. Aloui
the Pacific roads l6, 600, 900 of acre
have been opened since the last census
In other words, the government ant
the Pacific Railroad have opened fo
settlement in the last eight years tel
ritory larger than the New England
middle states and South Caroline com
bined; larger tran Germany or Franc
and about twice as large as Great Br
