PROHIBIT INTER-MARRIAGE.

1t is true that many months will
elapse before the State Legislature
will again convene, but nevertheless
<(be press of the State cannot speak
ht any too soon, and demand that
when it does meet, and must pass the
miscegnation bill, prohibiting mar
riages between the races. This bill
should become law. when it was
brought up in the last Legislature
and it is difficult to understand
how Democratic Senate composed
of white men only, could have de
feated it. The views of the white
people of Louisiana on the race
question are we'll known. They
want separate cars, separate schools
and above all things else, they want
inter-marriage prohibited. A former
Legislature has passed bill making
il rnlswful for white man and a
negro 10 roe In the same Car; why
should not the present Legislature
make marriage between whites and
blacks unlawfull 1t Is ten thousand
times worse to permit white person
to marry a negro, than it is to allow
one of the former to ride in the same
car with the latter. During the last
session of the Legislature, when a bill
was introduced prohibiting marriage
between the races, it was approved
by large majority of the white citi-
zens Of Louisiana, and was consider
ed as certain of passage, in legisla-
ture supposed to represent the white
people of the State. But the bill
was defeated, how, or by what infu-
-ence, may never be known.
OF all the Southern States, Louis
siana alone permits this inter-mar-
riage and it is to be hoped that after
the next session of legislature, our
State we be in line with the other
States Of the great Soutb.-Iberviil
South.

o'clock by Detective Morgan, who secured
the services OF Officer West. At the time
he was spotted Thorpe suspected be was
being looked for and started out OF she
place. Detective Morgan and Special Of
toer West were nearby and were signaled
that Thorpe was there. The moment
he came Gus he started to run
down Bay street. Detective Morgan had
suspected his plan Of escape and with Officer
West ran down Bryan TO Price. As the
officers turned into Price street Thorpe al

he got ahead Of his pursuers Both
officers, however, were close behind and
knowing the desperate character OF 1.-THE
Kid" and his threat TO kill the first man
who attempted 80 arrested him, determined
that he should not escape.
The fugitive kept gaining on his pur-
we're fred, none Of which took
effect THE Kid" had by this time
reached Houston street aud turned toward
Washington square. His purpose was to
get across East Broad street. Turning into
st. Julian, he made a dash toward the
Tybee depot. The officers had been gaiuing
on him for some time, and were only few
steps behfud when Policeman Jernigan aud
ex-Policemsn Sullivan ran up East Broad.
Thorpe saw be was cornered and stopped
running. Detective Morgan slipped the
handouts on his wrists and started with
him for ths barracks. Thorpe made no re-
sistancs. He ad lifted the shooting of
Brinson and told the detective 10 was all on
account OF gambling. He was taken to the
barracks and sfterward was removed 20 the
jail.
The pistol with which Thorpe said he shot
Brlnson was recovered in a Jefferson street
pawnshop. IL Is heavy double-action 80
calibsr. Thorpe said he got a friend to
pawn the weapon for him. He makes
clean breast Of the killing, and says be will
