We see it intimated in an exchange that the Arkansas State Register re- gently impugned the motives of Judges G. r. Smoote and II. C.. Bum, in an opinion rendered by them, while on the supreme bench. We have no more honest or incor- ruptible men than these, and the vile islanders of this dirty sheet receives the just contempt and indignation of all good people.

The Negro Problem.

The negro problem has been the Sub.
ject of discussion for the p st fifty years
or more. 1t began way back when Noah
was baby, and has come down through
ages to vrx and worry the human family.
1t must have sadly troubled Destlemona's
family and had most tragic finale for
that charming lady.
Wherefore and others mad. il hot si'
old England number Of ycnis ago. A.

warm question in IIayti.
Wendell Phillips. and Gar ison, and
other apostles of the negIo, made 1t the
problem in the United States more than
a half century ago, aud agitated 1t un-
til aruies OF hundreds of thousands Of
men were brought int the fl Id to battle
against each other. Rivers Of blood
were shed and hundreds Of millions Of
dollars were spent in solving the prob.

vainly hoped it was solved when the ne.
gro was made free man. The country
alsO.thOugh that when the shackles fell
from the last slave, the problem was
ended. But after twenty-five years OF
emancipation 1t comes TO disturb the
country again.
The negro has been made a free man,
has been given the ballot and stands as
the equal before the law of the white
man, and yet the negrophilist Of tho
North is not happy.
The negro himself is content. He is
not asking more. He is being educated
in schools paid for by the white man,
generally going along attending to his
own business and don't care a button
about the President-elect and his South
ern policy or anybody else, so he gets
belly full of grub. Then he ought to be
let alone by Mr.. Sherman and all his

were heard-the excitement at that mo-
ment ran very high and rope was sent
around the prisoners neck, but was im-
mediately cut by the officers.
When the officers had about reached
the Jail with their PRISONER they were
assaulted by the mob and terribly beaten.
When both officers were downed q sharp
crack ofa pistol or rife was heard and
Wakefield fell to the ground dead.
After the killingof Wakefield which oc
cured at abou: 20 clock In ths evening the
angry citizens visited several places oc-
cupied by negroes and destroyed the con-
tents Of those establishments, and ordered
about dozen negroes to leave the town.
Deputy Sheriff Mestayer and Con-
stable Pstin have shown themselves
worthy and brave officers and have the
admiration Of the community for the
manner in which they so manfully dis.
tinguished themselves.

The White Caps have made their ap-

'.White Caps" meant. He said he had
received note signed by them, giving
was written with n red pencil. but in one
corner bore the regulation skull and
cross bones with black pencil.
Last night two masked men entered
the house of negro woman, represen-
ting themselves to be White Caps and
gave her ten days notice to leave town.
In both cases the negroes were terribly
frightened and may heed the warning
given.
But little attention was given to the
complaint of The negroes until 1t was
learned to-day that Mr.. George Beach
had received notice to leave, the notice
reading:
"GeO. Beach You must leave Dallas
hefore Feb. l. No anarchists allowed
here. We mean what we say.
MIR. Beach Is printer, is well known
in Dallas and has been an exponent of
socialistic theories and as advocate of
anarchy for nine years, having at one
time conducted and edited newspaper.
the tenor of which strongly smacked of
these ideas of sO-called "refOrm." He
says he is an anarchist, but none Of the
bomb throwing kind, and will pay no
attention to the warning of the White
Caps.

A Jeanerette special to the Picaynne
says:
The people of our town and this COM
rauuity in general are, We are pleased to
learn, awakening from their apparent
lethargy, as several new enterprises are
spoken of here. The building associa-
ton has made a brilliant start, viz: a
canning and furniture factory. which we
trust will assume definite shape ere long,
| thereby proving to the world at large
that the beautiful and productive Teche
section is the land of Evangeline in fact
as we'll as name.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. p. D..
Olivier, Secretary of the School board
OF st. Martin parish, we present to our
readers in this issue, a tabulated State
ment of the funds in the treasury of the
school board, and also the expenditures
Of the year 1888. 1t shows that the
amount received by the board for the
year 1888 was S6S53.9S, and the disbur-
sements amounted to S4.l79.5l, leav-
ing balance in the treasury to be ex-
pended this year, of $2.674,46. We no.
tice that the amount collected from the
poll tax is S2,5S4,95 while there are over
three thousand voters in this parish.
There is no reason why the other voters
who owe the poll tax should not pay, as
this money goes to the School board and
their children enjoy the benefit of the
public school as well rs those who pay.
1t ought not to be so, or some means
should be adopted to force the payment
of the poll tax by every voter.
Louis Victor the negro who bis said
to have been shot by young man
named GuitrOz, died from the effects of
his wound. The shooting of the negroe
was cold blooded and premeditated
murder. This affair occurred at Grand
Pointe, in the upper part of st. Martin
parish.
Guitroz who is young man aged a
bout % or % years had a preliminary
trial before Judge Mouton Wednesday,
and the evidence elected at this trial
shows the killing to have been cold
blooded murder. Judge Mouton reman-
ded the prisoner to Jail without benefit
of bail. and instructed District Attorney
VoOrhies to file an affidavit of murder
against Guitroz.
The day after the shooting of the ne
gro, Victor. by Guitroz he was arrested,
brought here and released on five hun
dred dollars bond, but since the negro
died. The dead man gave his dying de-
claration stating he was murdered by
Guitroz without any provocation. The
authorities should take every possible
means to punish the criminals to the
fullest extent Of the law.
