Peace on the Borders OF the Rio
Grande.
The halcyon days of outlawry upon
the Mexican border have passed. A
new and more prosperous era has
dawned in the history Of our next
door neighbor. Under the hand of
wise and strong leaders, her most dis.
tant districts can be held in restraint.
Numerous lines of telegraph con-
meet the outlaying states with the
capital, so that an alarm can reach the
chief executive In a few moments,
and frequent railways ramify in
various directions, so that the means
of s~uppressing an uprising can be
commanded within a few hours.
The same influences have coop
Grated to secure tranquility on the
American bank of the Rio Grande
Justice on both sides of the border
is swifter and surer, and the lawless
exploits of the present day may be
regarded as the fitful glimmer of an
expiring fame.-From "Outlawry on
the Mexican Border" by DR.. James

General Notes.

The public school of Lake Charlie
has five teachers and 230 pupils.
I The town of Plaquemine voted il
favor of taxation for electric lights ant
waterworks by s majority.
! Calcasieu parish and the city of Lake
Charles have quarantined against Hous
/ ton, Texas, and all other infected
points.
/ The Kansas City, Watkins and Gul
Railroad will be completed from LAX,
Charles to Alexandria by May /, th'
time called for in the contract.
The R1ston Caligraph says: "W'

is where it usually gets in its little
work. City Item.
A large hotel for the accommodation
! of winter visitors, to cost three quarters
of million, is TO be bnilt on St
Charles avenne, opposite Lee Circle, il
New Orleans.
1t is said that the new Mississippi
law requiring the payment of poll tax
as a prere equisite to the right of suffrage
is bearing admirable fruits. Hundreds
Of negroes who never before paid this
tax are now paying up with surprising
alacrity.
The st. Mary Banner wants to be
experimental upon, hear it:
every body should if possible pay
off their debts at the beginning of the
New Year so as to start free from any
encumbrance-and we hope all oul
readers will endeavor to do so. In
order to encourage this laudable spirit
we offer ourselves as a subject upon
which the debtors to the Banner may
freely experiment"
The Trinity Herald extracts the very
essence Of the Alliance land-loan
scheme when it says: "Allow the gran
ger to mortgage his farm and borrow
money from the. government, and he
would soon lose farm be wanted, and
the government would own farm it
does not want" That is the solemn
truth. 1t is not the interest of debt
but the principal which is hard to pay,
and the land loan scheme would gen
orally result just about like the Herald
tersely puts it.
The Trinity Herald publishes stats
ties to show that the schools of that
parish have been taught only three
months in the year, and the entire
school fund is exhausted. The Herald
says it is useless to mince matters; that
revenue is offered by which the school
terms may be increased to six months,
and that it ought to be accepted. The
Herald says it "believes in the educa-
tion of our youth, let the money come
from whence il may, whether he be
banker, miner, minister, lawyer,
whisky dealer, gambler or miser."

The Indian war.

The following dispatches from The
scene of the Indian troubles in the far
North West, indicate a very critical
condition of affairs in that section:
DENVER Col, Jan. Ga special to
the Rocky Mountain News from Pine
Ridge, via Rushville, Neb., says:
There are not near enough troops
here. A battle is expected every day,
and it will be the hardest in the annals
of Indian warfare.
The troops have the Indians sur
rounded, and an attack will drive them
into the agency, where the main battle
must be fought. The enemy number
over 1000 men, women and children,
with half that many to attack US in the
rear. The scene, as the town moved
into the stronger buildings, was one of
indescribable confusion, as men with
guns in their hands and the grim look
of war on their faces, escorted crowd
after crowd of frightened women and
weeping children to the apologies for
stroDgholds. No one wants to see a
repetition Of the same.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 5-The Bee has
the following dispatch from its staff
correspondent at Pine Ridge Agency,
S. D., via Rushville, Neb.:
The seriousness of the situation here
is increasing. Short Ball, the leading
hostile chief, who has distinguished
himself all along during this trouble
by never for a moment considering any
Of the oyertures looking to an amicable
settlement, but who has steadily stuck
to his lar IN the Bad Lands, and his
now assumed command Of the great
body of hostiles, last night told our
spies that he would take this agency ii
it cost every warrior he had. Half
breeds here have been informed by
friends and relatives whom some OF
them have among the hostiles that they
had better Immediately move their
families long distance from the agency
/ as a great raid and massacre was Ger
tain. The half breeds are showing us
what they think of this information by
getting their families out of here with
a rash.
The government herder, John D.
| Wyer, and Issue Clerk Pugh have both
discovered through their Indian friends
of years standing that raid and mas
sacre have been fully decided upon and
/ planned.
Gen. Miles is thoroughly conversant
with all these facts, and himself says
/ that our situation is extremely critical
/ There are less than 600 soldiers here
now all told.
