One of the very few honorable foes

tor Of the Arcadia Herald. The dem
ocracy of Bienville parish is pledged to
the support of Mr.. Adams and the Her.

standing this, the editor, In marked
contrast to the course of other Anti edi-
tors who supported McEnery in the last
campaign, but who are now chirping in
with the old gang in abusing and SLAM
dering him, has the manliness to say
Especially is there one feature in
this campaign against which we desire
to enter our protest aud that is the
abuse that is being heaped upon the
head of the Hon. Samuel ID. McEnery.
This is not right. When our future
was the darkest, and when the backest
clouds hung the lowest in our political
horizon, Sam McEnery performed for
his country u service that his country
men will not soon forget. The name of
McEnery will live long in Louisiana, as
a synonym OF white supremacy. For
his gallant services his countrymen will
ever hold his name in grateful remem-
berance. And while we are not sup
porting McEnery in this campaign, we
will not sit silently by and hear his
name wrongfully abused by those less
entitled to honor than he.n

THE TENNESSEE CONVICTS.
An Army Nearly Three Hundred Strong

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 31.-The news
which reached this city last night and this
morning of the release by 5000 miners of
the convicts working in the mines at Brice-
vile and Coal Creek, and the reports OF
bloodshed, were received with interest here.
The number of convictS released at Brice-
vile was 1853 and at Coal Greek 1873.
A special to the American from Knox

Briceyille and Coal Creek. He found every

great deal of other property was damaged.
squads of men passing through the
5 and O'Clock Friday night. This was
kept up for nearly an hour. 1t was about
$50 O'Clock when 200 men called upon War
den Cross to deliver them the keys of the
prison. While this was going on the maya
zine was blown up and the Stockade was
surrounded by $500 men. Cross gave up the
keys and when al convicts were released
they assisted in burning and destroying
the property. The attacking party then
moved on to the Coal Greek stockade, where
they liberated the balance OF the convicts
and plunde1&l Chumley's store and de-
stroyed the stockade furniture A good
deal of firing was INDUCED in, but no one
was hurt.
The affair is the talk of the state, and
from all sections comes demand that the
miners who participated in the affair shall
be caught ana be brought to justice, if it

CANADIANS WANT 1T.
At Least Two-Thirds of the People Favor
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Move.

Observation-Disclosures Move.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Oct 31.-A strong
feeling in favor of independence is growing
in Quebec, and it can safely be said that 1t
least two-thirds of the people are favorable
to it. There was 3 time when such senti-
ments as are being openly expressed at
present would have been met with the cry
of traitor. That time is past. Not only
French press advocates it, but respectable
portion of the English press have lately
come out in support of it. The people are
getting dissatisfied with the existing state
of affairs, which is by no means encourag-
ing. Again, in Ontario annexation meet
ings are being held in different parts
weekly, and Col. White, Conservative men,
Der of parliament, is about starting an an
nexationist organ.
LIE National. Quebec government organ,
comes out with strong article in favor of
independence. 1t says the efforts of Sir
Charles Upper TO sell the French Cana
dians to the English people, with the only
object of gorging the Canadian Pacific rail-
road and the adjournment Of the reciprocity
conference, are showing indications that
Canada is no more country, but field OF
operation for all the monopolists and organ-
izers of English plunderinss. The article
gets in 4 slap at the governor-general, and
goes on to say that 1.-The only reason for
forcing US to exchange our products with
Australia is to justify the Canadian Pacific
il opening new lines of steamships and OBJ
tanning contracts at exorbitant prices for
the carriage of mails aud British.troops."
A dispatch from Toronto, Ont, says:
There is excitement in political circles over
the resignation of Secretary of State Chap
leab, and the effect on the government of
split in the Conservative party brought about
by the disappointed French leader is being
actively canvassed here. If Chapleau can
muster following he is thought to be able
to defeat the Abbott administration. He is
now very strong among French Conserva-
tives in the province of Quebec, and is try
ing to lead them to believe that Quebec is
being ill-treated by not getting the best
show in the cabinet reconstruction. Chap
leau has probably taken the best means to
turn their allegiance from their party.

The Reichstas,a Work.

When the reichstag resumes its sittings
on November II the social purity bill,
the Austrian and Italian commercial
treaties, and the demand for new
military credits, will constitute the principal
business to be considered. The military
credits, which it is expected will amount 10
100, 00O, 900 marks, will be distributed over
several years, and will be asked on the
ground that there is necessity for reform
in the artillery service and changes in the
clothing outfit of the army.
The question as TO whether the new can
non should be made of bronze or steel has
been decided in favor of steel. The ex-
tended use of guns of small caliber has also
been decided upon. There will also be pre-
sented to the reichstag, "a report advising en-
largement of the navy and increasing the
number of ships in German waters and
South American and Chinese stations.
The report that treaty is being negoti-
ated with the United States involving re-
ciprocity in treatment of American grains
and pork. and German sugar and other pro-
ducts, excites the anger of the agrarian
party. Their opposition to commercial
treaties will be redoubled in the reichstag
if treaties of Austria and America are pre-
sented simultaneously. The Centrists, who
hold the balance of voting power, will be
with difficulty induced to support the gov
eminent proposals having this wide range.

BERLIN, Oct. 31.-Following up his re-
cent rescript the emperor has instructed
the minister of justice to prepare report
on the laws relating TO the social evil and
to formulate measures for the extension of
the supervision of prostitutes and of
houses frequented by them. In the mean
time the police are going beyond the law in
in clearing the streets of the women and
their ''bullies,'' the genus known
in France as '.Alphonse'' and
her Ludwig" The '.Ludwigs," who
are accustomed to pervade Friedrich
strasse and Leipergate strasse, and to
haunt entrances to beer saloons and concert
halls, did an active midnight trade. From
Brandenburg gate along 'Unter-den- Lin
den,'' away beyond the Schloss, recently
swarmed with these abandoned classes, but
they have now nearly vanished.
A number have been arrested
and many others have skunk to
their dens to await the passage of the moral
hurricane raised by the emperor. Pastor
Stoecker's memorable estimate, which
placed the number of these unfortunates in
Berlin at $1,000 and which was questioned
when it was first announced, is now
considered too low. Add to the
number which Pastor Stoecker
thought formed the demi monde of
Berlin, the bands of ''Ludwigs" and other
retainers of vice, numbering probably an
other 30, 900, and there is seen great army
necessarily warning upon society. The
criminal code is insufficient for deal
ing with them, while prescribing
punishment for those drawing subsist-
ence from the prostitution of others,
the law can be paralyzed by the baldest
proof that the accused exercises nominally
or Internationally some trade.
The press in its criticism of the imperial
edict approves of the spirit prompting it,
though, at the same time questioning the
wisdom of the emperor in using unconstltu u
tional methods of Interference. His
advice that barristers should refuse
to defend immoral cases and his
suggestion that the public be excluded from
court during the trial of such cases are
especially assailed as distinct backward
steps in procedure, tending to imperil the
pure administration of the laws. The va
rious party organs, the Post the Freissln-
nige Zeitung, the Volks Zeltung
and the kleine journal, while they con-
cur in approving the excellent intentions OF
emperor protest against the means adopted
by his majesty as attacking the business of
the judicial organization, and trying to de-
stroy guarantees of pure justice. The out
come of the agitation will, it is expected, be
the introduction in parliament of several
repressive measures, including fogging and
extended terms of imprisonment at hard
labor.
In discussing these questions some pa
pers venture to suggest a resort to the
wholesale system of stage regulation OF
vice. To this proposition, however, the
emperor would never assent
