Three Killed.

The following is taken from the
Times Democrat of Tuesday.
Messrs. Block.and Labe, who were
killed, were known in Lafayette, the
latter being a brother of our towns
man, Mr.! A. Labe, who heard of
the sad news Tuesday morning:
Donaldsonville, La, May ala
terrible and deadly shooting ARRAY
took place this evening at S O'Clock
in Dorseyville, in which the partici-
pants met sudden and violent deaths.
Those engaged were Messrs. Adolph
Block and Jules Labe, two prominent
merchants of Dorseyville, and a
negro named Caesar Bundy, also of
Dorseyville. The particulars are as
follows:
The negro Bundy was engaged in
a quarrel with an Italian. Block,
to preserve peace, interposed, which
turned the wrath of the negro toward
him, and the negro applied a vile
epithet to him. Mr.. Block in turn
cursed the negro, who hurriedly left
the place, remarking: "You won't
call me that when I come back. :"
He :soon returned armed with a
revolver, and dared the two gentle
men to approach him, using very
obscene language. Both armed
themselves with clubs, rushed at the
negro, and general fusilade of
shots followed. AS the two men
advanced the negro aimed his revol-
yer and shot Block in the mouth,
MORALLY wounding him, and receiv-
ing in return a mortal wound from
Block with lightning-like quickness.
The negro then turned and shot Mr..
Labe through the brain, killing him
instantly. Block, though desperately
wounded, still continued firing, and
did not desist until the chambers of
his revolver Were empty. After
firing the last shot he fell upon his
face, and died instantly. The negro
ran a few PAGES as though seeking
an escape, but his wound was
mortal one. He started and fell,
and also expired. OF all the shots
fred but three took effect, and they
produced death.
The bloody tragedy is deeply de-
plored as Messrs. Block and Labe
were popular merchants. The negro
is said to have been a desperate
character. Mr.. Labe was formerly
:cretary of the Ascension and
Donaldsonville Board or Trade, and
was well known in New Orleans
newspaper circles. He leaves
wife and one child.

A Free Press.

The decision of Judge Noise, of
New Orleans, In the Times-Demo-
Graf contempe case will be received
with great satisfaction by the people
of the whole country. In giving the
news and condemning the at
tempted assassination of Scholl
The Times-Democrat did its duty
as a newspaper and journal, and
had its editor been held for con-
tempt of court, such a decision
would indeed be serious blow at
the boosted rights of a ''free press.
If q newspaper cannot denounce
crime without being guilty of Con-
tempt of court, could not the same
rule beapplied to the citizen who
would publicly express his opinion
on the streets7 For this decision
Judge Noise deserve the thanks OF
the press of the whole State and the
admiration of all true lovers OF
liberty. $50

of bargain and corruption-offers to buy

port for pending measures or to advance the
selfish schemes Of the bribers, what would
have happened, think you
The Messenger answers its own
question by saying that the south
erners would have knocked the. dogs
from their presence. When Colonel
Robert Treat Paine was in the fed
eral house some rascal representing
an eastern ring went to his seat and
made a corrupt proposal. Paine
Immediately arose and informed the
house that "this fellow" as he
CdAlGO HILL was ~ y1uS ~ OAAOC uAH.
The lobbyist lost no time in sneaking
out of the capitol, and he had the
good sense to keep out of sight
until the excitement was over. Those
who knew Paine best said that he
would have killed the corruptionist
If he had approached him on the
street with the same proposal.
In the better days of the republic
it would have been dangerous to
suggest bride to senator. Douglas
on one occasion was so enraged by
a corrupt offer from the agent of a
big land company that he seized him
by the collar and dragged him to
the head of the hotel stairway and
then kicked him down.
But in these days we read of
brides and attempted bribes in the
senate, and calmly turn to another
page, without giving the matter
more than passing thought. Times
change and men change with them.

n RAZLR0AD COMMISSION
The Introduction of bill In the
Legislature, by the representative
from tins parish. to create a RAILROAD
commission in tn is State, no doubt
will, if enacted into law, contribute
to the welfare and prosperity of
the people of Louisiana. 1t is in
line with the progress and triumph
of popular rights.
l. 1t is full time to teach all corpo-
rate power, and their henchmen,
''who bend the hinges of the knee
that thrift may follow fawning' that
the people Shave some rights and
privileges that even railroads are
bound to respect. Among these
is the right to enjoy the fruits of
their haAp-earned labor; and the
privilege to regulate by law the
charges levied on all articles of pro-
duction and consumption trans
ported by public carriers.
A railroad, canal, or other public
undertaking, exists by the authority
of the delegated power of the peo-
pie, and is chartered by law for the
use, benefit and advantage of all
the citizens of the State, rs well as
for the profit and LOT
private funds and capital invested
therein.
We do not overlook the fact that
railroads give employment to
thousands of the good people of the
country, and assist in developing
all the material resources of the
land through which they steam their
course, but all this does not give
them the rights to exact exhorbitant
tariff rates, or in railroad parlance,
call the trade will bear"
When in the name of progress and
civilization corporate power, as
common carriers, is perverted 70
maintain exhorbitant exactions,
they must learn that every dollar
collected beyond a legitimate profit
in the business of public transported
ton, is not only violation of the
spirit of our laws and institutions,
but that it becomes extortion and
oppression.
About three-fourths 64fbe States
of the Union have adopted laws
regulating railroad traffic. Texas,
which was frontier country when
Louisiana was nearly half a century
old, in her last election achieved a
great victory over the monopolies
within her borders, not the least
among which we're the railroads, by
electing Gov. Hogg by over one
hundred thousand majority.
Some years ago the Congress of
the. United States were compelled,
in response to public demand, which
they have been SO slow to heed as
against money power, to enact the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for the protection of her citizens
against the greed and rapacity of
the railroads.
1t is to be hoped that our Legis-
lature will enact laws for the protec-
ton OF the people in that respect.
