THE RIVER COMMISSION,

The steamer Mississippi, with the
River Commission on Board, arrived
here on Tuesday night last. Col.
Casey, Chief Engineers L. S. A., was
with the Commission; which was graf
flying evidence of the especial interest
he Is bestowiug upon its works. Judge
Taylor was not with the Commission I;
being detained, we deeply regret to
learn, by serious illness. Hon. I. G.
Catchings came up from Vicksburg
aud joining the party here will go with
IL to inspect the Atchafalaya work.
The Commission closely examined
the reyetmeni on the Blanton front
and members expressed decided satis-
faction with It's appearance. Resump-
tion Of work will doubtless be ordered
ut an early day. The Mississippi pass

Political Retrogression.

The resolution adopted by the Com
miitee provides that all Democratic
voters, without regard TO color or
condition, are entitled to cast their
ballots in tho primary election, and on
this question hinged all the points OF
debate. The advocates of q primary
election demanded that the voting
should be restricted entirely to the
white people, but the Committee was
not willing to exclude the Democratic
negroes from the nominating election
when his aid and his votes are SO es-
sential in the November contests. hence
the resolution governing the primaries
and admitting such eolored men as
are known to be Democrats was adopt

BY the various charters Of business

vitality and expansiyeness Of Green
vile energy and enterprise. Stretch

do not regret to see this but we trust
that men who have contributed full

win not be lost to its future destiny.
Some OF them could be lily spared.
If the oil mill venture OF Messrs.
Collins, Mullally and others is as sue
cessful as the Independent Planters
mill here, designed we believe on the
same plan, il win prove a vast benefit
to the seed sellers Of the tributary ter
ritory. There has been no more con-
splcuous triumph over the most pow
erful aud thoroughly equipped of all
trusts than that by this mill In its
struggle with the American Trust Mills
Of the lower valley. There il no COM
putting the money il has saved TO plan
tiers between Vicksburg and Memphis,
as there was no limit TO which the Trust
organization might not have depressed
the price of seed. We will never tire of
referring to this work as presenting a
perfect plan of operations a. well as
demonstrated example, of how plan
tiers and farmers may contend against
and overcome the extortions and OPP
pressions Of the modern device of
commercial tyranny, Trusts. No COM
munity or association of producers can
plead against competing with and Sc
curing protection against monopoly,
that they have not the means. The

and Others, had no capital ex-
cept what was invested In their plant

number Of business men and farmers

should be, be would certainly take de-
cisiyc steps in the matter. The Gov

We judge from the statements of

of dissension in the Democratic ranks.
Indeed such unwise and mischief

The Same Old Story.


Special Dispatch to Avalanche.
Forest City, Ark, May is.-St.
Francis has had for a year or more q
political party know as the ~fusionists,'
II is composed of almost all the ne
groes in the county, led by few white
politicians who at one time were Dem
ocratic otiice-holders here.
At the September election the fusion
lists carried the county. A great deal
OF bad blood was engendered.
The fires Of hate have been
smoldcring in the bosoms Of the lead
ing men of both parties to break out
to-day at the school election. Two
school directors were TO be elected.
A white man named Cotton and a
uegro named Ingram were the candi-
dates Of the negro meeting. Ingram
made very infamatory speech in re-
sponse to his nomination, and was fol-
lowed by l. L. Featherstone, who WAS
defeated for Congress at the Novem-
Der election. Featherstone is now 4
leading spirit with the negroes.
Matters kept getting worse and
worse until to-day after dinner, the
negro leader, Americus Neely got in
TO difficulty with prominent white
man. Neely ran behind Capt. John
Parham, who Is a fusionist leader. for
protection. Capt. Parham drew his
pistol, but was disarmed by young
man. la the meantime Capt. Parham's
son Tom began frng and City Mar.
shal Folbre fell, but as be reached the
ground be shot Tom Parhsm, who fell
dead instantly.
Neely flew, pressed by several par
ties. II Is reported that he is shot
through the bowels.
The negro Ingram and others of his
sort left on the east bound tram this
evening, and ordered never to return.
Col V. b. IEarsl has been appointed
temporary sheriff by the Governor.
The rifles have been called out.

In union there is strength, and every

and unless this is done Kyle can never
expect more than local school. Let
our citizens weigh we'll these impor-
tant matters and act at once. The in
corporation of this school district

building up first class high school
at this place. Citizens, if You have

Superintendent Cooper has nd
dressed a circular TO commissioners
courts calling attention to the fact that
the commissions paid to comfy
Judges out of tho school fund have
been largely in excess of the amount
prescribed by the statute. Superln-
tendent Cooper quotes the opinion OF
Attorney General Hogg recently
given in the matter as follows: In this
case the commissioners courts have
no discretion whatever in the matter.
The compensation is fixed by statute,
and the only question for the court to
consider is, have the services been
rendered. So il the action OF the
court is placed upon the ground that
they had discretion to allow more
compensation than that fixed by stat
ute, they acted beyond the scope OF
their authority and jurisdiction and
the money so paid in excess OF the
amount allowed by law may be re-
covered at the suit Of the county.
The county Judge is member OF and
presiding officer o. the county COM
missioners' court. If he and they
acting together can arbitrarily fix his
compensation at such sum as they
see fit, and having so fixed it success
fully plead that their action is final
and conclusive, there is no limit to
the power Of the court to allow and
pay claims not cLargeable against the
county. In such cases the judge be-
comes the arbiter of his own rights

In the face Of it's threat to prosecute
the members of the Old Dominion
League, q republican club, of this
city, for sending circulars to all Vir-
GINA Office holders asking contrlbu-
tons to the Malone campaign fund,
the club had man at every depart
ment to-day to receive the contribu-
tons, and they got them too. The
members of this club openly defy
the Civil Service Commission, and
say they will fight the case in the
United States Supreme Court il neces-
sary. Commissioner Thompson says
they will certainly be prosecuted, but
his republican colleagues have not
vet been heard from. The public
will anxiously watch the out come of
this case.
Nothing has yet been done about
the employees of the Pension Office
who bad their pensions rerated, al
though Commissioners Raum and
Secretary Noble had a long confer
ence on the subject this week, One
result of this conference WIS the issu.
ing Of an order by the Commissioner,
which shows what limited conf
dence the Secretary has in the en-
ploves of the Pension Bureau. The
order directs that all claims involving
any considerable amount of money
shall be sbmitted to the Commission
er for his approval before the pension
certificate is issued. The new Com
missioner has already gained the
name Of being completely owned by

effect that they will not be allowed
under any circumstances to renew
their lease of these lands. and that
thew must remove all their cattle from
the same or before the first day of
