CHINESE MUST GO.
The Man in Black Will Drive
Them Out.
SENATOR STANFORD AT WORK.
He is Assisting Thousands of Southern Ne
groes to Emigrate-The Politicians
on the Pacific Coast Alarmed
The Scheme
Special TO the Gazette.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. Ex-senator
Leland Stanford is giving aid and encOur-
agement to thousands of Southern negroes,
who are establishing large colonies in Cali
fornia. 1t is expected that $4,000 negroes
will become residents of this state within
the next twelve months. In view of these
facts politicians are alarmed, as the colon
lists are quite likely to be welded by the
ShrewdeSt political managers of the coast.
Rev. c. o. Benjamin, u prominent and
wealthy colored man of this city, is at the
head of the movement. In an interview he
said: "Our object in bringing negroes to
California is to supplant the Chinese. The
Celestials are not citizens or voters. and the
colored people are both. We have signed
contracts in my possession that will guar
antee employment to all the people we
bring here. We have secured $4,000 acres
of excellent land, situated in Fresno and
Shasta counties, and all of it may be irri
gated.
This will provide homes for an immense
number of colonists. Our people are now
arriving from the Southern states at the
rate of five families a week. Within the
next twelve months ] expect will have sit
uated in California 5000 families. Senator
Stanford is favorably impressed with our
scheme, and lent US much encouragement.
The colonists will come principally from
Alabama, Texas and North and South Car
Dina"
Benjamin leaves for the South in a few
days to arrange to send out Il large number
of Colored people.

LOUiSiANA'S GOVERNOR.
PARISH OFFICIALS WHO REFUSE
TO OBEY HIS
Instructions in Carrying Out the Law
Must Step Down and Out-A Pic
mic Out of a Hanging,
Special TO the Gazette.

New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 12.-Governor
Nichols to-day removed the parish or
county commissioners of Calcasieu parish
for their connection with the hang
ing picnic Of last month. On July 10 two
murdererS, William Dial and Charles
SAUCE were to have been hung in Calcasieu
parish. The event was advertised in that
aud neighboring parishes, as well as in
Texas, and a big hanging excursion got
up from Houston, the eXcursionists going
with militia brass band to witness the
execution, it being provided with refresh
ments as though they were on nicnic. 1t
was supposed that some of the parish
officials were interested in this venture,
for. although the laws of Louisiana re-
quire all executions to be in private, the
gallows in the Lake Charles Jail was so
constructed that the hanging could be
plainly seen from the outside, and all eX
curSoniSts would see it. Governor Nichols
was indignant at this action, and a few
minutes before the hanging reprieved the
prisoners and stopped the execution.
The eXcurSionlsts who had assembled
from Texas and other parishes of Louisiana
were indignant with this interference with
the sport they anticipated, and the gov
ernor was asked to withdraw his reprieve
and let the hanging go on. As Governor
Nichols had no desire to prevent the exc
cution, for both of the men had confessed to
4 double murder, he instructed the parish
officials TO provide for the hanging of the
two men in private, as the Louisiana con-
stitution requires. They declined to do SO,
and insisted upon using the present gallows
which allowed the crowd on the outside to
see the hanging, and another excursion on
the day of execution was probable. This
made the governor indignant, and he to-day
removed the officials and will appoint men
in their places who will see that the hang
ing is done as he wishes tin private-and
that no excursions come from Texas to
Louisiana to witness hangings and make
them gigantic picnics. As soon as the new
officials are selected Dial and Sange will be
hanged.

Splitting the Beer.
Special to the Gazette.


PARIS, Ten, Aug 12-Dealers at Pur-
cell and Ardmore, on hearing of the Bryant
decision, Immediately began to furnish
pure lager to the thirsty of those regions,
and the deputy marshals promptly spilled
it; then the dealers succeeded in securing
internal revenue license, and Marshal Dick
erson instructed his deputies to let the
thing alone.
But Indian Agent Bennett does not take
this view of it, and has instructed the In
dian police to spill out all the beer they
find, and it is understood that the deputies
from the Muskogee court, which has iuris-
dlction i'll liquor cases, will not regard Bry-
ants Interpretation of the law, but will con-
tinue to accumulate fees by arresting the
beer sellers, license or no license.
The latter propose to fight it out in the
line of Bryant's decision, that malt liquors
not being expressly mentioned in the stat
ute, are not contraband; and it is under
stood they will receive financial backing
from the breweries. who are interested in
having this new source of trade thrown
open. Altogether, lively time may be
looked for.

zx Beer Joints IN the Territory.

Special to the Gazette.
ARDMoRE, L T., Aug. 12.-Beer is now
being sold in Ardmore and at several points
throughout the Indian Territory. Four
cider joints here that have secured license
for the sale of malt liquor were yesterday
converted into beer saloons, and a large
number of beer licenses have been applied
for. A carload of beer from the Anheuser-
Busch brewery is on the road from ST. Louis
to supply the increasing demand, and it is
safe to say that if no action is taken by the
United States government in revoking the
licenses, months time will see 1000 beer
saloons opened in the Indian Territory 1t
has always been considered violation of
the law to introduce beer into the Indian
Territory, and sections 2l39-2l40, Revised
Statutes, pertaining to the introduction ana
sale of ardent spirits, spirituous liquors and
wines, prohibits their introduction and sale
in the Indian country, and Judge Bryant,
United States Judge for the Eastern district
of Texas, has held in the recent case of the
United States VS.. julius Kahn of this place,
for selling malt tonic a mild form of beer,
that beer does not come within this prohi-
bition. Accordingly various efforts We're
made to induce a revenue collector for the
district of Kansas to issue special tax
stamps in the Indian Territory for the sale
of malt liquors. He declined to do so, as
the department has all along steadily re-
fused to allow it. The decision of Judge
Bryant referred to has induced the depart
ment of the interior to consent to the
issuance of special tax stamps. 1t IS
rumored, however, that Judge Parker,
United States Judge for the Western dis
trict of Arkansas, dissents from Judge
Bryant's views in the question. 1t is also
an interesting fact to the dealers in malt
liquors in the Indian Territory that there is
still another river to cross in the fact that
Judge Shackelford, United States judge tor
the Indian Territory, has concurrent juris-
diction to the violations of the above me u
toned statute, and his views are not yet
aScertained

THE BOYS OF THE OLD BRIGADE.

Where are the boys who fought by our side,
Undismayed. steady and true;
Whose courage rare was our boast ana pride,
Where are the boys we knew:
Sabre by sabre they swept along,
Over the field TO do Or die,
A thousand blades, whose right arms strong
Gave to our banners victory.
Farfrom the homes Of their love they're LAID.
The trusted.-the brave,-the gay.
Resting beneath the palmetto's shade,
In Wondering robes Of gray.
Ali else may change, the years roll away,
But they from us never can part,
Their graves are fresh and green to-day,
For they sleep in their comrades heart.
The old. old cheer shall again 90 round
For the gallant ones that died,
The ear once more catch the trumpet's sound
AS we ride on side by side.
Our locks are gray, our vision dim,
Yet the glory we Won shall never fade,
And our love shall clothe with immortal life
The boys OF the old brigade.
