Americas Social Queen.

Mrs. VIM. G. Whitney, wife OF
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney,
died in New York of heart disease,
on Monday, Feb. 9th. She has
been well and truly called "Ameri-
cas- Social Queen which title she
has fairly held for the last ten
years. Possessed of great wealth,
besides being accomplished and
beautiful, she was kind-hearted
tender and true, and was greatly
loved by all who knew her. Both
men and women, whether OF high
or low estate, delighted to do bel
honor. She is perhaps more dear
ly loved and mourned by rich and
poor alike than any women who
has lived during the present gener-
alton.

mo. Is


The good news has been given
out here that the Kansas City, Wat
kins and Gulf railroad company has
concluded to extend its road from
Alexandria northwest through the
parish of Grant. Messrs. John x.
Wright and r. w. Spar, visited
Alexandria few days ago, and
went overland same distance north,
by vehicle, to examine the route.
They are old time railroad contrac-
tors and expect to bid on the work.
We learn that the first part of the
road to be let out by contract is
from Alexandria to the Marble
Quarry, in Winn parish, distance
Of about 40 miles. From what we
can learn, the rumor that the Wat
kins road has passed into the hands
of Mr.. Gould is mistake. The
company is working on its own
hook, and have plenty of capital to
back it. Our people expect to seq
large force of men at work on the
Watkins road, north of Alexandria,
during the ensuing summer. This
will help business here a great
deal.

Homicide at a Wedding.

An unfortunate alteration oc-
Cured at the home of Mr.. Madison
Holmes, two miles north of Mont
gomery, on the night of Thursday,
Feb. 9th, which resulted in the Kill
ling of the 19-year-old son of Mr..
E. j Barfeld, who is said to have
acted in such a way as to give
grave offense to the household.
The occasion was the wedding of
Mr.. f. A. Thompson to Miss En-
ma Holmes, and the brother Of the
bride, Albert Holmes, after the
marriage, took up the offense, and
ON young Barfeld drawing a pistol,
dealt him blow on the head with
hammer, crushing in the skull
and knocking him senseless. Young
Barfeld lived until Saturday night
and then died from his Injuries.
We are told that Mr.. Barfeld has
expressed his intention not to pros
cute Holmes, as his unfortunate
son was clearly in the wrong.

Distrustful of Themselves.
IN. o. Picayune.]

The most remarkable circum-
stance in American politics to-day
is the wonderful extent to which
the American people have lost con-
fidence in themselves. Time was
when they believed themselves
equal to any emergency, public or
private, and they felt themselves
entirely capable of righting by
their own acts every public wrong,
however grave.
To-day, surrendering all conf
dence in their own power and in
telligence, they confess their help
lessness in every public concern,
and, throwing up their hands, pray
to powerful paternal government
to help them. Under the influence
of this growth of self-distrust and
acknowledged weakness, the people
are looking to Federal legislation
for relief from every distress, real
or fancied. Do the railways dis
criminate in freight rates against
any particular localities? Forth
with there is an appeal to Congress
for repressive or prohibitive legis-
lation. Does over-trading produce
a financial revulsion and a spasmo-
die scarcity of money? Congress
is at once besought to open the
Aoodgates of its printing presses
and pour out upon the country un-
limited promises to pay. Is the
price of American wheat lowered by
reason of good grain crops in Eu-
rope. or is cotton cheapened by an
excessive yield of the staple? Con-
gress is at once besieged to apply
remedy by prohibiting all specula-
tive trading in grain and cotton
Does cholera threaten to invade
our shores? Immediately there is
a loud demand that the Fedora
power shall at once take control OF
all administration of public health
and sanitation.
| We do not mean to say that nc
good is to be accomplished by Con
gressional measures of reform fol
certain abuses, but there is really
something startling in the readiness
with which the people on the slight
est excuse fly to the Federal Gov
eminent for help and for revenge
And, beyond all this, there is I
growing. demand that this same
powerful and paternal Government
shall seize on all transportation
companies, telegraph corporations
and all incorporated industries ant
control them in the interest of TIT
people. This growing desire by tn
. people to abandon all their right
and place them in the hands of
powerful central Government is al
. the more remarkable when we SCI
that the tendency in all the old
world countries, where the peopl'
have been oppressed and crushed
, down by despotic power, is to over
: throw governments and restore +
the people their original liberties.
1t is difficult to understand tn
growth of socialistic submission
/, among the American people. !
l looks as if they were becoming
wearied of the cares and response
. bilities of liberty. We do not her
' propose to offer any solution of s
!, peculiar a problem. We only ca
attention to it. Nothing NOR
r strange has marked these las
/ years of the century of huma
: 1ibertv and progress.

Law for Protection.

A community that depends on
law for protection should insist on
having the kind of law that will
protect; therefore we demand pro-
hibition of the Igor traffic as the
most imperative need of society.
Political action to secure the pro-
hibition of this monster curse is in
evitable; as we now have liberty to
make law, we must secure prohibi-
ton through law, and this can on
" be done through the united ac-
ton of the people crystalized into
a political arty.-Demorest.

pie are bowling over the burning
of the negro rapist at Paris, Texas,
last week. 1t also says that these
same Northern people have little
cause to howl over the brutality OF
the Southern people in this par
ticular instance, for they, (the
Northern people) are the decen-
dants of the old Puritans, who
burned innocent persons at the
stake, because they did not concur
with them in their religious belief,
and justified themselves for COM
hitting such 1iabolical crimes by
saying that the burned persons
were witches, or dealt in the arts

Mr.. J. G. Wickliffe, worlds

Mr.. J. G. Wickliffe, worlds fair
commissioner, has requested that
the police jury of Grant parish be
called together to meet him on the
18th of March. This means, of
course, that an appropriation for
an exhibit is wanted. After con-
sultation it has been found that
the majority of the police jury are
opposed to any appropriation for
this purpose, holding that if there
are funds in excess of necessary
expenses they should be used for
the public schools. The extra ses-
sion will therefore not be called, as
it would be an unnecessary ex-
pense. The parish could appro-
pirate 500 or 5000 for this pur-
pose without materially disturbing
her financial balance. 1t is doubt
full if the same amount could be
expended in any other direction to
be of more public benefit, but as
our appropriation would necessari-
ly be too small to make anything
like creditable showing, it is per-
haps best not to contribute to what
may be a junketing tour more fol-
the benefit of individuals than fol
the community at large.
