The East Carroll Democrat thus
discourses upon the methods that have
been pursued by the opponents OF the
revenue amendment:
"Since the Anti revenue amend
ment movement sprung into existence,
much has been said and done that has
trenched upon the rights of Louisiana
citizens. Fanaticism has crowded to
the front with its intolerant sayings
and doipgs; under a tlimsy moral
cloak it has paraded before the peo-
pie with the tyrannical announce
ment that "all persons who differ with
US on the lottery question are wrong
and must he put down at any price"
The pulpit has been inyokud to de-
uounce the revenue amendment, aud
some of Chriet's servants, as hig up
as Palmer and as low down as Boone,
have recommined violent revolution il
it became unnecessary but it was
! left for the antis of Sabine parish, in
! the snllen pride of their self.sufhcien'
morality, to first peremptorily deny te
!, deny their fellow citizens the righ
0 of free speech within the Sabine bonn
I tdaries. This denial was accompanied
g with Winchester rifles and shot -gul
e threats.
: "There is no necessity fer descant
y ing upon the fanatical fear tha
prompted such lawlessneas, but W
i may advantageously inquire into til

How to Succeed.

This is the great problem of life which
few satisfactorily solve. Some fail be-
cause of poor health, others want of luck,
but the majority from deficient grit
want of nerve. They are nervous, irres-
olute, changeabIe, easily set the blues
and "take the spirits down to keep the
spirits up" thus wasting money, time,
Opportunity and nerve force. There is
nothing like the Restorative Nervine,

Relative to the figure cut by the
Lafayette combine and candidate
Adams, in the State Committee, the
Baton Rouge Aduocate says:
"The State Committee has ad-
journed. 1t was not exactly love
feast of Democrats, but it was a re-
union that will tend to harmonic the
factions. A notable feature of the
five days meeting is that no mention
of candidate Adams was made by any
of his Anti.lottery allies. He was
evidently not "in it" but seemed to
have been lost in the shuttle" An
other notable feature was the alb.
sence of all reference to the Lafayette
combine, except when, the wicked pros
called attention to the delinquency
In response to one of these allusions
ex-Attorney General Cunningham said
that he would rather belong to the
Lafayette combine than to combine
with the lottery and the city bosses.
That was a sort of 'damulng will
faint praise" with the praise left out
and candidate Adams was in no bet
ter favor than the combine"

Yesterday elections occurred in
several of the Northern States, viz
New York, Ohio, Massachusetts and
Others. The Democrats have every
reason to believe that they will elect
governors both in New York ano
Ohio. This virtually speaking is th'

We WONld note, pV tue way, tu"'
the United States census of 1851, IN
Vol. VII, on "Valuation, Taxation
and Public Indebtedness" points out
that Louisiana then raised, by taxa
ton, an amount equal to 27.4 mills on
its total assessment, considerably more
than any other Southern State. We
have run up the assessment since, yet
have been compelled to increase taxa
ton also.
Taxes in Louisiana are so various
that the people do not fully appreciate
how much they are paying. Many of
them have to pay State tax includ-
ing school and levee taxes,) poll
tax, license tax, district levee tax,
produce tax, a land tax and parish
taxes. Besides these there are in
some sections municipal tax, judg-
ment tax, drainage, railroad, bridge
or public Improvement taxes. In the
Pontchartrain and Atchafalaya levee
districts the people are paying for the
State 6 mills, for the parish 8 to 10
mills, fer the district levee tax 10
mills, total of "a to 26 mills. But
besides these there is clever and con-
cealed tax on produce and land, which
they do not exactly understand as
vet, but which will equal 8 mills, ma
king total for these districts, without
including poll taxes, of 80 to "a mills
Taxes are assessed in Louisiana IN
no less than fivs different ways, on
assessed values, on business ano
trades, on the person, on the land anc
on its produce. 1t is thus that tht
State is being taxed at the rate of2s.s

THE DEAF AND DUMB ROW.
Some Interesting Developments Yes
terday in the Case.


terday in the Case.
The deaf-mute robbery case furnished
some interesting developments yester-
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Ward, who live on
Maple avenue in the same house occu-
pied by the men Lowell, Cretzer and
Vincent, who were arrested Wednesday
by the police, on last Sunday missed a
number of articles from their rooms, in
Guiding q silver and gold watch watch, q re-
volver and some other jewelry.
Lowell was suspected by the Wards,
and on Wednesday the relations between
the parties who are all deaf and dumb
became SO strained that a personal COM
bat occurred and everybody in the house
took hand in the row. Lowell was ar
rested for battery and Vincent and Cret-
ger on suspicion of being connected
with the thieving.
One of the arrested parties "squealed"
to the police, and told that Lowell had
expressed his valise to San Francisco,
and that if it were brought back and
opened the missing articles would be
found in it. The valise was telegraphed
.for, and was opened at the express Office
yesterday by Officer Rich, in the pres
ence of Mr.. and Mrs. Ward. The in
formation was found to be correct, and
Mrs. Ward became fearful with surprise
when she saw her lost jewelry slowed
away in the bag.
Letters discriminating Vincent were
also found in the grip and the men will
be charged with robbery in the police
court today, the battery charge against
Lowell being dismissed.

is pre-pleistocene or only pre-
historic. To my mind the finding of
this Fresno petrifaction is the most
important discovery that has been made
since the discovery OF the gigantic
Meiocene Salamandar (Andrias Schench-
zeri.) His skull is decidedly Dolicho-
cephalous, but his legs present the well
known characteristics commonly met
with in human skeletons OF the Neolithic
age, the linea aspera being enormously
developed. Still we do not see in him
any Of those structural peculiarities of
the Deinosaurs and Theriodonts OF the
Meiocene age. 1t is extremely difficult
to even venture O suggestion as to this
mans proper place in nature. When
the Dryopithecus was discovered he was
classed among the anthropoid apes; and
we all recollect how paieontologists were
shocked when it was discovered that he
really did not belong to the Meiocene
"4O0," but was one Of the lowest OF the
lower order of Simians. We do not wish
to make similar mistake in classifying
our osseous friend from Fresno.
The presence of the phosphetic or
coprolitic deposit of the Pleiocene strata
in Great Britain of fossil remains OF ter
ASSSAAAA AhHAutAaAln, cuNAA GO otO AJOi
arctos, would seem to indicate the pres
ence of man upon earth at a very early
period. However, the "early man in
Britain" belonged to decidedly brachy-
cephalic race, thus differing from the
specimen under discussion.
1t has been contended that this Fresno
stone man belongs to the "river.drift
men," because he was found in Castac
creek; but we think, from careful ex-
animation OF the remains" that he
differed from the Paleolithic man OF the
river deposits both in size, race and cul-
ture. Was he an inhabitant of Fresno
in the Meiocine age? Did he hunt the
mastodons, HipLarions, Mesopitcheca
and Deinotheres on the banks of the
raging Castac, with paleolithic weapons,
and vie with the anthropomerphous.
apes in the struggle for existence?
These are the points, to be determined.

DEFECTIVE HARRIS.
A Baseless Aspersion on His Character
Refuted.

The San Francisco Chronicle some
time ago published statement of Mrs.
Caroline Rappald of San Francisco,
charging the well-known and respected
detective OF this city, Emil Harris, with,
in conjunction with his partner, Theo.
Metzler, attempting to swindle her out
of some real estate in this city. This
was republished in this city, and Mr..
Harris denied it. Yesterday Mrs. Rap
paid called at the HERALD office and
denied the truth Of the Chronicles state
ment entirely. She said that Mr.. Harris
had been grossly misrepresented in the
matter; that he had been Of great eerv-
ice to her, and as her circumstances
were moderate he had refused to make
any charge, and had been OF great as
sistance to her in caring for her little
property. This explanation is not need
ed by those who know Mr.. Harris, who
during his long career in this city has
preserved spotless, unquestioned rep
utation.
