Lonisiana.s Great Issue.

The people of Louisiana are not bothering
themselves just now about the tariff, nor
| the race problem, nor the federal election
law, nor the Mississippi river problem, nor
any other thing in which the people of the
other states are interested. There is but one
question about which they are thinking,
talking and writing. 1t is this: shall
the charter of the Louisiana lottery COM
pany be extended This is a very big ques-
tion-a S25,OOO, 900 question-and the peo-
pie are divided into two factions with
respect to 1.-THE pro-lottery faction and
the anti-lottery faction. The former is
much the larger, but the latter is as deter
mined as were the three hundred at Their
mopyle.
And what an interesting contest it is that
is going on between those two factions.
On the one side is the lottery company with
its vast accumulation of wealth, and its
army of supporters, all hoping to get a small
share of that wealth, and on the other, the
governor, with an empty treasury, unpaid
school teachers, broken levees, needy hospi-
tals and asylums, and few energetic, pub
lic-spirited men who declare that the people
without the lottery would soon be richer
than they could ever possibly be with it.
The leading daily newspapers of New
Orleans are on the side of the lottery. One
little bantling that has just been born is
against it, but it lacks vigo-. 1t means all
right, but it is weak, and its feeble life will
flicker out as soon as the lottery issue is
settled. The legislature is in session, and the
pro-lottery and anti-lottery forces are pour
f,,rrk ,&
now there is a resolution before the upper
branch of that body to investigate the
charge that some of the members of the
legislature are in the pay of the lottery
company. What a sensational investiga-
ton it will be if orderedl What startling
revelations may be expected
The other day committee of young law
yers called on the lottery company and
asked for list of its stockholders The law
says that the stockholders of all corpora
tons of the state shall be made public. The
public does not know who the stockholders
of the lottery company are 1t has never
known, and probably never will know. The
young lawyers didn't find out They were
told to go about their business.
Most Of those who are opposing the lot
terry are sincere, but the morality of some
OF them is in very unsanitary condition
Two who have been loudest in condemning
the lottery have been found to be deeply in
terested in rival lottery concern. The
publication of the fact that they
favor lotteries, but not the Louisiana lot
terry, has probably ruined them as re-
formers Their pretension to high purposes
has been wrecked by a center shot from the
enemy.
Very deep interest is felt in this Louisi-
ana issue throughout the entire country,
because people in all parts of the country
gamble for the lottery company's prizes.
What the outcome of the issue will be it
would not be wise to predict. but it is safe
to say that almost anything can be done
with money.

Jack the Ink Throw r.

The New York police think they have
caught the fellow who, for several weeks.
has been running dresses of ladies in that
city by throwing violet ink upon them.
The name of the accused man is John Con-
ners, and when he was taken into custody
ne had In his pockets a bottle of violet ink,
and also several clay pipes filed with the
same fluid, but so plugged as to prevent its
escape. He gave curious, but not a salts
factory. explanation of his possession of the
INK There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of the police that they have the right
man, though none of the women whose
dresses have been ruined by the ink thrower
have been able to identify him.
1t seems strange that any sane man should
want to ruin the dresses of ladies against
whom he had no grudge. and of whom he
had no knowledge whatever. Some of the
dresses ruined were costly ones. Many of
the victims did not discover that their
dresses were despatched with ink until
they reached their homes Others. how
ever. saw the ink thrown, though when the
outrage was committed it was generally too
dark to recognize the man who threw it.
But who is the man Connors, whom the
police have arrested He is a married man,
mechanic, and his wife declares that he is
sober and industrious and in every respect
a model husband She has never known
him to be guilty of any disreputable act
and declares that, being very fond of his
children, he is at home tho greater part of
his time when he is not at his work.
Assuming that he is guilty it is
difficult to understood why he should
have found satisfaction in running ladies'
dresses by throwing ink upon them. Is the
man crazys Upon that theory alone can
his conduct be explained. He has an insane
desire to ruin ladies' dresses, and in only
one way, and that is by throwing violet ink
upon them. When under the influence of
this desire he is no longer John Connors. the
industrious mechanic and model husband.
He is a criminal. and finds a fiendish delight
in gratifying his insane desire. All those
having two characters are not confined to
fiction.

Why Not Construct the Reservoir.

| Why Not Construct the Reservoirs
| It seems TO be the understanding that it is
the intention Of the city authorities to con-
sHuct a reservoir at the water works
whether they decide OF not to erect in the
near future a water works plant at the
| Springfield plantation well. II this under
staining is correct, what is the advantage in
delaying the construction of the reservoir
According to the report Of the Memphis
water expert, whose opinion was obtained at
considerable expense. if the mouths Of
the wells were lowered and the
water from them were permitted to flow
into reservoir the quantity of water OBJ
tainable from them would be increased at
! least twenty per cent. If the increase
should be as much as that the wells would
supply all the water needed, especially if
some effort were made to prevent water
from being wasted. And if the supply
should not be quite sufficient to meet the
demand another well or two could be sunk
at very small cost.
No one can say positively, of course, that
the mixed arteslan and river water is not as
wholesome as pure ar!esian water, but there
is pretty general belief that it is not.
Some of the physicians express the opinion
that the mixed water is responsible for
mild disorders they have noticed in their
practice. But whether the mixed water is
as wholesome as the pure artesian water or
not, it is certain that it is not as
satisfactory. That being the case, it would
seem as if there ought not to be any unnec-
essary delay in providing pure artesian
water. especially as it is the purpose of the
city authorities to make arrangements for a
full supply of that water.
1t will not cost any more TO build the res
ervoir now than it will one month or six
months hence. 1t is difficult to see.
therefore, why there should be any
delay in constructing the reservoir.
There is another thing to be considered in
this connection. 1t is that the pump, in
taking the water direct from the wells,
sucks up great deal of sand The sand is
injurious to the pump. 1t is wearing it
out, and although the pump has recently
been repaired the presence of the sand in
creases the danger of its breaking down,
From every standpoint it would seem as if
a reservoir should be built as soon as posi-

Leading republicans now say that Quay
must meet the grave charges against him
or resign from the Craftsmanship of the
national republican committee. If he does
not resign. the only way to get him out is
to vote him out, as his term does not expire

silence too far" a prominent republican

only necessary to refer to the contents OF
u letter from Mr.. J. J. Hagerman, presi-
dent of the Pecos Irrigation & Investment
company, which Senator Teller had read
in the senate on Saturday last This COM
pany was organized before the act OF 1885
was passed. No reservoir sites have been
located by Major Powell in the Pecos val
ley, yet private enterprise has taken hold
and has expended over 100000 in the
construction OF reservoirs and canals.
The same company is building now arail-
road at cost OF 100000. Over $4,000
people now inhabit the valley, whereas
two years ago the number scarcely reached
5000, and over 1000 acres of land have
been entered by people from all quarters
of the union. Mr.. Hagerman states that
the announcement that this act segregates
all lands from entry created genuine con-
sternation in the Pecos valley; that the
people there recognize the fact that they
can not own their own lands as long as
this law stands on the statute books, and
that If the ruling of the attorney general
is to be enforced it simply means ruin
and the Pecos valley company will have
to cease its efforts to reclaim this vast
section of country.
The strong points made by Mr., Hager-
man no doubt had much to do toward
"clinching" the senate's determination
to order a repeal of the law. Now, if the
house can be brought to its senses, and
it isn't yet too late to send petitions to
that body, complete repeal of this act
will be had at the present session, and
in that event great weight will be lifted
off the people of the west who have set
tied on the public lands in good faith
during the past two years. Send on the

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses OF the
territorial prison amounted to So, 900 per
annum. During the first year under q
Republican regime, from March 4, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number OF prisoners, were 500, 900.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest.
That is ALL
