When Admission, Alabama is able to

how foolish and insincere seems the

quarter in 1898 when it was proposed

clear, since Admission can pay freight
on its water-pipe to Toxic, via Liver.

Public Meeting.

At citizens meeting held in the
town of Plain Dealing, La, August
18th 1895, the following preamble
and resolutions complimentary of
Prof. Jos. E. Johnston and family,
upon the eve of their departure to
new field of labor, were past with
unanimous approval.
Whereas, we the citizens of Plain
Dealing and vicinity, in citizens
meeting assembled, recognize that
the time has come when we must
part with Prof. Jos. E. Johnston. the
founder of the Pioneer High School
at this place, and for seven years its
principal, which position he has filled
with credit to himself and satisfaction
to his patrons; and whereas we are
fully cognizant of the fact that his
departure from our midst is not from
any failure on bis part or lack Of ap-
probation by our people, but for the
purpose of accepting position, we
trust, more profitable to himself and
his estimable family; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the loss of
Prof. Johnston we feel that our CON-
munity has lost one of its best citi-
zens and our school one of the best
teachers in the State.
2. Resolved, That while we realize
our irreparable loss, we congratulate
any school or community so fortunate
as to secure his services. We further
take pleasure in recommending him
as an efficient, paihs-taking, con-
scientious teacher in the school room !;
citizen ever abreast with those
seeking to advance all legitimate
public enterprise; and above all a
man strictly temperate in habits and
in every way high-toned christian
gentleman.
We further cheerfully recommend
his daughter, Miss Sadie, as teacher
of rare literary attachments for one
of her age, and his good wife as a
music teacher of experience and abil-
ity, and finally we recommend his
entire family as valuable accession
to the social circles of any respecta-
BILE community.
8. Resolved, That copy of these
resolutions be presented to Prof
Johnston and family, and that copies
be also furnished the Bossier Banner
and Lafayette Recorder requesting
their publication.
I certify that the above is a true
and correct copy of the resolutions
past at the aforesaid meeting.
| W.B. Boaas, Secretary.

WILL Cost $l1O,0OO,OoO.-
Nicaragua canal commission, having
returned from it's examination of the
canal route, is now entering upon the
preparation of its report, which will
be presented to Congress next winter.
1t is understood that the report will
favor the construction of the canal,
but will put the cost at ITO, 100000,
and name seven years as the period
required for its completion. A change
of route will be recommended, it is
said, and there will be some criticism
of the work already done. The sand
bar at the entrance to the Greytown
harbor can be kept sufficiently low
for practical purposes, it is thought,
by persistent dredging.

The Right to Murder.
Memphis Commercial-Appeai ]

j
The Brandon (Miss.) tragedy relat-
ed in our dispatches yesterday has all
the appearance of most cruel, cow
ardly and premeditated murder-a
murder carefully planned and execut-
ed with every circumstance of bar
barrie ferocity. While we do not wish
to prejudice the trial of this case
before the courts, it would be mere
affectation to be silent in the presence
of tragedy that leaves such an
awful stain upon our country and
our civilization. The man who in
this case took the law into his own
hands and coolly plotted and cruelty
executed the murder of fellow citi-
zen charged with having done him
wrong is lawyer-nay more, he is a
chosen lawmaker. His prominence
as citizen, his profession, the nature
and character of his Office should
have taught him to respect the law
as the only safeguard of social order,
to appeal to it for redress of griev-
ances, and to treat every enemy OF
law as an enemy of civilization.
How can civilization and social
order endure so long as men may
freely execute private vengeance with
impunity and shed the blood of their
enemies as they would the blood of
a wild beast? Is it not intolerable
that the life of citizen shonld be at
the mercy of any enemy that chooses
to waylay and assassinate him? Law
! lies at the very root of society and
civilization; but what is law more
than dead literature if human life
can find no protection in it's admins
tration. Courts and pistols can not
flourish together. The one or the
other must be supreme. The law
cannot divide sovereignty with the
shotgun and the revolver. Civiliza-
ton and savagery can not both exer-
else jurisdiction in the same land
and over the same people. 1t is to
prevent the enforcement of rights
and the punishment of wrongs by
individual force and violence that
government is instituted among men
and laws made to define rights and
restrain the aggressions of the strong
or the turbulent. The fright of feud
has no place in modern Jurisprudence,
and it can not be tolerated as an
extra-legal means of redress without
relapsing into barbarism. Every un.
punished murder sheds the blood OF
dozen men. It whets the appetite
for blood, while it gives promise Of
immunity to every ferocious coward
in the State. It licenses assassination
and puts the life of every law-abidine
citizen in peril. What man can know
that he will not at some time incur
the murderous hate of a ruffian?-
What security has be for his life Sc
long as murder goes UNPUBLISHED
Surely all good citizens realize tina
it is time to cleanse this land, t.
cleanse the administration of justice
of it's stain of bloodguiltiness, ant
put a higher value upon the righ
to live.
