Malice by The PRoGREss towards the

babes and Stockings of our city rise
up in united condemnation against

must whisper, thou art a calumniator.
The mayor likewise confines himself
to defense Of his official character.
This he may do for three reasons:
First, that on account of its brevity
andinopportunity to become very way

defended. Secondly. he had the in
stinct to know that just public

private affairs of any one, but has al

newspaper criticism. Thirdly, he
supposed that as an individual

gentlemen Of unquestionable honor
and integrity, both of whom were
duly sober, and one is an officer.
These gentlemen state emphatically
that Constable Kelly took no part in
the fight at all, but was acting as a
peace officer simply. This other Off

MIR. &. W. KELLY TALKS,

Ch"lO'lhSIg nave Deen called into
the controversy between your paper
and Mayor VinsOn on account of the
fine imposed on me for disorderly
c'nduct and disturbing the peace on
the ID inst. I would much rather
that the matter had never have been
made public, as L considered nothing
gained by an expose Of a small and
dlscourteous act committed by our
mayor, But as the affair has been
made public. cannot, in justice to
myself, allow the utterances of
Mayor Vinson, which appeared in his
reply to THE PRoGREss in last Sun
days issue of the Times, pass I'M
noticed, as it casts very unjust re-
Election on Inc.
As to my being engaged in that
bar-room fight, it is positively untrue.
That l went there to assist my
brother in difficulty or after going
there and finding him in one, took
part to assist, is equally false. /
went to the scene of that disturbance
as peace officer simply, and took no
other part than as an officer trying to
keep the peace. Imay have been too
lenient with the parties engaged in
the row, and would have. perhaps,
performed my duty more fully if l
had arrested all parties for assault
and battery, etc, but it never oc-
CURED to me that little leniency on
my part towards men who, under ex-
cltement, were engaged in little ifs
ticuff, would make me amenable to
the law as handed down at the
Mayors Court, and make me subject
to fine. suppose that have been
misinformed when told that as an
officer L had the right to suppress
riots and keep down difficulties. l
suppose L made the grave mistake of
not going to the mayor to learn the
law and my duties.
Mayor Vinson states that the evil
dence was conclusive that l came an
not as a peace officer, but for the pur
pose of assisting my brother, and en-
gagged in the fight, and kicked aud
cuffed those with whom he was en-
gagged. This is absolutely untrue;
that is to say, 1 did nothing of the kind,
as my brother had had his misunder-
standing at least an hour before l
went in. Now let us see who were
these witnesses who testified so
strongly against me. One was man
who was pounding another severely,
so much so that l felt called on to in
terfere and put stop to it, True, he
says he was merely trying to quiet that
other, and on doubt would soon have
done so, as he was administering blows
in his face right lu 'tily. The other
was a man who was drunk at the time
and had himself been engaged in
drunken row, and was in no condition
to see things clearly. All this L can
prove by sober, intelligent and honora-
BILE men, and would have done so had l
suspected, when served with a notice
of trial, that any thing was neces
sary save an explanation from me to
the mayor; or, after finding that that
officer looked with gravity on the
charge against me, had l have been
granted an opportunity of new
trial. But when L told him that if
he would investigate that case he
would remit the fine, L received the
unconsoling, the officially discour-
teous reply, that it would take a
Philadelphia lawyer to investigate
that case. This taught me that there
was not that official courtesy exist

the dlsenterested witness) hands.
But we suppose he was acting as
bouncer, which, in the ewes of our
mayor, IS doubtless a privileged
character. superior to a constable.
He doubtless has the right to knock
down and drag out. We Judge this
by his name not being included in
the list of 'all were fined"
Again, i; the evidence was so con-
elusive against Constable Kelly. why
did the mayor, when the constable
told him if he would Investigate the
case he would remit the fine. reply
that 1t would take PHILADELPHIA
lawyer to investigate that case? The
mayors very answer shows that the
evidence was not exclusive, that he
had not given the accused the bene-
fit OF that doubt which the law de-
clares all shall have. Besides. an
officer has the right to use any
forclble means necessary to quell
disturbance or stop the commission
OF unlawful acts, and had he resorted
to it to put down the lawlessness.
Mr.. Kelly would have been guilty of
no crime, amenable to no law except
the usurped authority of Shreveport's
mayor, This law is recognized by
every legal tribunal in the State from
the Supreme Court to that of the
Justices OF the peace. But modern
Daniel has appeared, new legal lu-
minary has come to the front:
a fresh apostle and expound-r
of Desty, Wharton and Bishop,
has come forward, whose microscopic
ability has enabled him t. reverse
the decisions of our higher courts and
render nugatory their decree of adj
Judging officials rights and powers.
The mayor, in his answer, has
placed the occurrence at night. If
this be true ne relates some
thing totally different and dis
tinct from the one noted in this pa
per. We wrote of the scene which
occurred nearly, if not quite, two
hours before nightfall, and if there
was continuation Of these disgrace
full scenes until the night had fully
set in, it is no credit to his admins
tration that it is SO. The fact that
saloon may be allowed to permit
drunken orgies to hold forth in its
enclosure for hours without mole5ta
ton from the police is no credit to
the mayor, who is the superintend-
ent or chief of police of Shreveport.
There was no fne imposed on the
proprietors OF the General Milan"
saloon; not even an arrest for keep
ing a disorderly house was made, and
vet we have it from the mayors
card, that for hours unlawful scenes
were going on there. This, we think,
an unjust imputation on Chief Mel
son, and DOES but show how badly the
mayor was at sea when he rendered
his decision.
Now, having presented the true
facts. be thou thine own judge, MIR.
Mayor, and answer an inqulrlng
public, of which art thou guilty,
narrow prejudice or incompe-
t,ncyi One of the two thou must
choose.
The mayors reference to our
charges is puerile and bombastic. We
either made a charge or we did not.
If we did, manhood demanded a diff
ferent resort for redress. If we did
not, he has placed himself In a very
compromising position.

DOG MEAT FOR CONSCMP-
TON.

Miss Lizzie NJ. Jones. Of Indian
apolis, Ind, claims to have been
benefited BY using the dog meat
treatment for consumption. Since
the middle of December she has
eaten nothing but dog meat. and
three days after beginning the treat
ment noticed change in her con-
dition for the better. She gays has
almost recovered. 81 have eaten
four dogs she told a reporter

Newfoundlands, and at last water

] tell you. sir, the shepherd is the
dog. The meat and oil are both
far superior to other dogs. l have
had . great deal Of trouble in getting
my dogs. One Uf the Newfound-
lands l got at Woodruff Place,
aud had it killed, and came very
near getting arrested for it. and af-
ter all it was not very good dog.
l advertised for dogs, and the only
answer I got was from q man who
wanted $2a apiece for his dogs.

pensive meat bill for inc. wouldn't

THE RICE MILLING TRUST.

The rice Industry of Louisiana has
since it origin received no severef blow
than that of last week-the formation Oi
the combination or trust that includes
all the rice mills of this city. All the
talk about such . combination being
good for the rice planters Is sheer nom
sense. The statement that . cOmbina-
ton of all our buyers will benefit the
producers Of rice Is simply trifing with
the intelligence of rice planters. why
do these rice mills eOmbine5 Because
hitherto they have not made much
money, and now they think that while
competing with each other they pay too
much for rough rice, or sell clean rice
too low.
The price of clean rice IN determined
by tie value Of foreign clean rice tleliv.
cred, duty paid, in the Cuited States
and the price Il clean rice can not be
raised above this parity Of values.
There remains then but one chance
for this monOp0listic combination to
add to the gains of rice milling, and
that is by squeezing the rice planter,
and buying his hard-earncd crop at low
er prices. All other reasons are falla-
cious. They cant sell rice higher, and
hence they must buy 1t lower. The
rice planter is their game, and they
thing they have secured It.
There is another side to this story,
however. The Legislature meets In
May, and Democratic Louisiana will
foster NO mOnOpOlies that will crush
her agriculture. Ways and means viii be
found TO scotch or cripple this monopo-
", and to SO leave the business to free
competition, ~ heretofore.
The United States now produce con-
siderably over half the rice they con.
sumo, and the cost of that imported de-
termines the value Of domestic nee.
of our domestic rice by far the largest
part is now produced In Louisiana, and
hence this new monopoly comes to the
fountain head Of domestic production
to inaugurate Its nefariOus scheme.
Apart from such legislation ~ may
be necessary to check or crush this
monopoly, there are probably several
ways Of attacking II under existing laws,
and the rice planters should organise
and avail Of every possible and proper
means of defense and attack.
Again. efforts should be ret on foot to
build new rice mills. With supplies Of
rice guaranteed to them, capitalists
could be induced to erect rice mills and
have them In operation by the coming
crop.
With fraudulent importation Of clean
rice as uncieaned and broken, our plant
crs have suffered severely. Now comes
this lnercenary combine to give them an
other squeeze, and 1t h obvious that
successful resistance to these attacks
can only be effected by = strong, earnest
and able organization Of our rice plant.
