LATEST NEws-sTATE and GENERAL


The Gorinan-Brice tariff bill has
passed both Houses of Congress, the
lower House having on Monday ac-
cepted the Senate amendments. 1t
now goes to the president and every
one is asking will he sign the bill that
he SO recently stigmatized as an act
Of Perfdy and dishonor." Certainly
he will. He will bsfound to have a
most capacious nav for crow, II 1t
seasoned with 'tperfidy and dishonor. !"
The House, after agreeing to the
senate amendments, to prevent this
enormous dish Of crow from gagging
them, passed separate bills for free
coal, free iron and free sugar. or
course these will be smothered in the
senate, and be heard of no more for
ever.

The Chicago Times gives a little
inside history of the tactics of Mr..
Pullman, the owner of the entire
city of that name and who is respon-
sible for the big strike which is not
yet wholly settled, of which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
tsN1r. Pullman and his monopoly
have many side issues in the fire
they do not depend entirely for
their revenues upon the profits of
the business for which the corpora
ton was organized. They have
numerous side issues which paywell
One of these plunns they lost last
January. When Pullman was built
the corporation made a contract
with the village of Hyde Park to pay
4 cents per 1000 gollons for water
This water was peddled out to the
Pullman tenants at 10 cents per
1000 gallons, and realized a neat
profit. Pullman paid $1,000 per
month for 10000, 900 gallons of
water and collected $1,000 from his
tenants for the same. Another
$2I,oo per year went toward the

Brutal Attack by am odiaer.

Brutal Attack by an Officer.
New Iberia Enterprise.
On Sunday morning last, between
the hours OF ii and II, while large
crowd of ladies. men and child rem,
were congregated at the depot,
awaiting the arrival of an excursion
train, police officer Alex. Chargois,
advanced through the crowd, to
where young Louis Migues was
standing with two of his sisters and
some young lady friends. AS he
drew his watch to look at the time,
Chargois, with an imPrecation, dealt
him blow over the head with his
policeman's club telling the boy to
the floor and continued the attack
in a most brutal manner. One of
Migues' sisters threw herself in the
breach to protect her brother, and
she was violently struck in the breast
and thrown off. A number of BY
ISLANDERS interfered and prevented
Chargois from doing further violence
to his defenseless victim. Constable
Paul Armandary arrested Chargois
! and conducted him to Mayor Burke,
who upon Chargois' own cognizance,
| released him; but later, hearing the
facts, promptly stripped him of his
official insignia and suspended him.
Bad blood has existed for some time
past between Chargois and Migues
! and what led the former to select
the time and place that he did for
such a display of ferocity is incom-
| prehensible. On Monday morning,
| Mayor Burke investigated the matter,
and after lengthy hearing, gave a
very severe lecture to the offender,
inflicted upon him fine of S25 and
suspended him. Such conduct on
the part of a peace officer, makes
him unfit for such a responsible
position, and it is to be hoped tina,
public sentiment will assert itself and
demand the offenders prompt i'm
peachment. The conduct was an
outraged upon the community.

4 WISE APPRoPRf.4 110M.

Il WISE A<1THOxAX-1 = Wv:
For the first time in the history
of the parish of Lafayette certain
amount has been set apart or aP-
propriated by the Police Jury in
the annual budget for the purpose
of maintaining the public schools.
Formerly the money given to the
schools was taken out of the general
funds and the School Board never
knew how much the ap proPria-
ton would be; it was impossible for
it to form a basis of operation.
The amount to be appropriated
was purely problematical; some
times it was $1,000, more, or less.
But as result of the economical al
and business-like way in which the
Police Jury has managed the affairs
of the parish it is possible to set
aside the handsome sum of $500
for school purposes, out of the
revenues raised by the regular
tax of 10 mills.
OF the 10 mill tax levied for
expenses the Police Jury will use
only about 81 mills, and the re-
naming ~ mills will be devoted
| to the public schools.
The members of the present Po-
lice Jury have always evinced
warm interest in the progress of the
public schools of the parish and
whenever called upon to help the
schools, they always responded
promptly and literally. Much Of
the growth of the schools is due tc
their assistance. By economically
administering the public affair:
they are enabled to make thu
largest allowance for schools eve
made in this parish. The people
throughout the parish will learn o
this appropriation with pleasure
Last year the schools remained
opened ten months; with the $500
from the Police Jury another Ion!
term is assured.

MIX. ETEZAND ON Arb
ZR4ZON.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Our dispatches yesterday in
timated the probable passage of an
act of congress providing for arbi-
tration in labor disputes on the line
recommended by Mr.. Cleveland in
his message eight year ago.
In the message referred to the
president said:
The present condi,io. of the relations be-
tween labor and capital is far from satisfac-
tory. The discomfort of the employed is due,
in a large degree, to the grasring and heed
less exactions of employers, and the alleged
! dissemination in favor of capital object
of governmental attention. 1t must also be
conceded that the laborng men are not
always careful to avoid causcicss and uni us
titiabIe disturbance.
Though the importance of a better accord
between these interests is apparent, it must
| be borne in mind that any effort i'll that
direction by the federal government must be
| greatly limited by constitutional restrictions.
| There are many grievances which legislation
! bv congress cannot redress, and many Cond-
tons which cannot by such means be re-
! formed.
am satisfied, however, that something
| may be done under federal authority to pre-
from disputes between employers and the
employed, and which times seriously
! threaten the business interests of the country,
| and in my opinion the proper theory upon
which to proceed is that of voluntary arbi-
| tration as the means of settling these diff
| cultes.
But suggests that instead of arbitration
| chosen in the heat of conflicting claims, and
after each dispute shall arise, for the purpose
| of determining the same, there be created
a commission of labor, consisting of the
| members, who shall be regular officers of the
| government, charged among other duties
| -, fhe settlement. when
| possible, of all controversies between labor
and capital.
The suggestion was also made
that the commission of labor should
be made an annex of the present
bureau of labor. The beneficial
influence of the railway commission
which in many states are merely
advisory has convinced Mr.. Cleve
land that the same good results
would follow the creation of fede
raj commission of arbitration.
Many labor leaders and congress
men are in favor of the proposed
arbitration law, and it is believed
that it would be so strongly backed
by public opinion that both employ
ers and employed would gladly set
tie their distutes under it rather thar
run the risk of a concfict between
labor and capital with disastrou
consequences to both sides.
At this time any peaceful expert
ment in the intesests of law ane
order with view to the protection
of the rights of all classes Of GU
people cannot fail to be very popu
lar. When arbitration is fovoret
by the government few citizens will
be selfish enough to oppose it. Ar
, bitratipn and peace go hand in hand
and it cannot injure those who hav
: just cause.
