Tbs brutal prize fight which took place here
On Sunday last, induces us to notice the disrep-
utable practice which some citizens have .allen
into of encouraging such exhibitions.
fit be the duty of law m,ke.s to enact rules
for ths regulation Of mems conduct, we can
conceive no better object to which thew can di-
1eet their asslduous attention than the preven-
ton OF prize fighting. 1t is useless to say that
athletes are not permitted to brutallze hem
selves by fighting with their naked fists, as the
gloves they are authorized to wear are not SUI
ticient to prevent jaw-breaking and homicides.
Our people have been accustomed to leprobate
the bul! batting of old Spain and of the Mex
cans To say the least of it the bull is not Grim
inal in his efforts to kill in such cases. In prize
fighting e1ch party to it is equally brutal. The
law even as it exists, never was designed to
encourage SUCH spectacles as was presented in
this town last Sunday. If We are a Christian
people, we should live at least within the sane
tions of sound morality and becoming human
ity. The law should not encourage men in
deeds of absolute brutality.

The Excursion.

He tACufsiou SlFcu iiOil 1iloouduA
to Opelousas last Sunday by Hope Hook
e. Ladder Co. of Franklin was a grand
success. The seven coaches were well
filled with jolly, good natured crowd,
who appeared to enjoy their outing
hugely, and the fire laddies doubtless
cleared snug sum for their treasury.
Atabout 1890 O'Clock Opelousas Steam
Fire Co. and Hope Hook g. Ladder Co.,
of Opelousas, formed on the courthouse
sqnare-the latter in full uniform and
the former wearing large silk badges
and preceded by the reception commit
tee, Marshal Estorge and aids and the
colored brass band. marched to the de-
pot to receive the excursiOnists. Shortly
after II o'clock the train arrived and
was quickly disburdened of its human
freight, and soon the procession was re-
formed with the addition thereto Of the
Franklin brass band, the uniformed
Hook g. Ladder Co. of Franklin and a
uniformed delegation from the Steam
Fire Co. of New Iberia, and through the
binding dust managed to find its way
back to the courthouse. Judge W. c.
Perrault in few we'll rounded senten-
ces welcomed the visitors from the La
fourche and the Teche and introduced
the orator Of the day, Laurent Dupre,
ESQ. Mr.. Dupre, in his usual happy style,
extended most cordial welcome to our
visitors, the warmth of his manner at
testing as forcibIy as his eloquent words
the sincerity of Opelousas' hospitable
greeting. Mr.. Henderson Crawford, of
Franklin, father of our clever towns
man Ii. Crawford, Jr., responded on be-
half of the visitors in neat and appro-
pirate address, expressing their delight
at everything they had seen and heard
since setting foot in the Prairie
City," and intimating that the only rea-
son why we might not soon be overrun
by people seeking an ideal abiding place
is the fact that we have not yet secured
one of those long talked Of street
prinklers.
The announcement was then made
that the halls of the Social and Philbar-
monic clubs had been thrown open and
those who wished to dance were invited
to enter therein, and that a lunch had
been spread at the Market House, Of
which all visiting firenen were cordial
~ urged to partake.
Both Invitations were accepted, and
all appeared to enjoy themselves and to
appreciate the efforts made to entertain
them as we'll as the spirit which prompt
ed those efforts. At Gp. M. the train de-
parted as slow rain began to fall, and
their pleasant though dusty visit to
Opelousas was at an end.

IT is to be hoped that the legislature
win not adjourn without investigating DR..
Conover, of the Worlds fair and agricul-
tural college commissions. II the insinu-
atoms made against him have no founda-
ton In fact 1t is but doing him justice
that his skirts be cleared. but if, as is
more probable, he has been unlawfully
fattening at the public crib, he should be
stripped of his honors and made to stand
trial for his unlawful acts. II nothing
worse can be shown, 1t will be an easy
matter to prove that he has been travel
ing on a Northern Pacific pass and coli
iecting mileage from the state.

The last spike of the Great Northern
railway was driven or Friday last at a
point some miles west OF Stevens pass.
The ceremonies were in marked contrast
with those Of the Northern Pacific. There
were no large-girthed European capital
lists; no state or national dignitaries, and
only few of the minor officials Of the
road, together with contractors and la
borers. The emptying Of revolver was
the lone herald of the completion Of an
other great trans-continental road, but
the lack Of fuss and feathers, the absence
Of gaud and tipseI, and the fact that there
was only suspicion Of the usual detona-
ton and smoke, makes the event none
the less important in the history of the
development Of this country and in rail-
road building. II is the harbinger OF the
fulfilIment Of President Hills statement
that the road was built for business, and
his promise that it would be conducted
on business principles.

The Seattle telegraph is raising a
WOW" and "wumpus" verging on a
"wiot" over the salary list OF the Worlds
fair commission OF this state. 1t claims
that while the wages of those actually
employed in collecting the exhibit was
only 35s per cent. Of the appropriation,
that the salary list" OF the managers
and figure-heads amounted to l6 per
cent. That is to say that it cost $25 200
to supervise the performance OF s3579.70
worth Of actual work, which. OF course,
does not include the matter of construc-
ton at Chicago. In the agricultural de-
partment, for instance, $2l3s.67 has been
expended, which includes sl55. 10 for the
first cost OF the products, s706.25 for the
wages OF the men who collected them,
and $10so. 60 for superintendent. The
deduction to be drawn from the Tsie-
graphs outbreak. is that there are too
many expensive, salary-drawing frontis-
pieces for the work performed and re-
quired.
