A great and terrible destructive
fire broke cut among the magnifi-
cent buildings of the Worlds Fair
on last Monday night. The fire
destroyed several of the largest
buildings of the Fair, and caused
the loss of many costly exhibits, the
value of which runs into the mil
lions. 1t is stated that tramps who
had been ousted from one of the
buildings set the Casino afre, but
this could not have been done had
the building been properly guard
ed, and in view Of the value of the
exhibits they contained it is strange
that the force of guards or watch
men was not sufficient to prevent
tramps getting into the buildings.

CaptiOus Criticisms.

It is astonishing how intemper-
ate some of our contemporaries can
be in discussing public matters that
happen to be conducted contrary
to their ideas of what is law, justice
and common sense. The following
criticism of the courts, in reference
to their late fair decision, decree
ing that the State board of liquida-
ton has the right to utilize the
treasury surplus toretire the States
bonds, is a glaring instance of i'll
considered criticism:
The result in both courts, is in favor of
the board and adverse to tine pretensions
of the treasurer. The effect OF the decis-
ion is to open the vaults of the treasury
to the greed and cupidity of the bloated
bond holders, and the surplus which
should have been applied to the sacred
cause of education, will vanish as rapidly
from it's accustomed place under the
magic touch of Louisiana's foreign credi-
tors, as the dews of heaven before the
MONDAY sun.-La. Democrat.
We would not expect a more In
temperate and infamous imputation
on the integrity of our courts and
State officials from the siiliest Pop
ulite in the land, than that to which
our Democratic neighbor has CIV
en- utterance. We trust it is to be
attributed more to inadvertance
from over zeal than to any intention
deliberately malign the courts.
The money under controversy is
that part of the States revenues
that has been raised under the law
to pay interest ON her $4,000, 600
debt. The courts very properly
have sustained the board in the
position that the surplus from this
source should be applied to the ex-
tlngulshment OF the debt itself.
The State has no more right to ap-
ply this money to the schools, than
Rapides has to take money set
apart for criminal purposes and
and the building of bridges and
use it for her schools. Referring
to Mr.. Pickett's untenable position
in this matter. the court say:
"If money thus levied from the people
is diverted to other purposes, then will
this dept be a burden indeed, for in
twenty years the whole debt must be
paid; or is it fair to conclude that 1t was
intended to leave the final payment of
the entire capital of this debt to be paid
by the levy OF the fortieth year-the year
OF its maturity" In concluding his de-
cision Judge Ellis held that at was the
duty OF the Board of Liquidation, when
ever there in sufficient surplus, to promt-
ly use it for the purchase and retirement
Of State bonds"
