Killing at Pollock.

Late Friday evening Constable o. A
Tison, of ward two, arrived in Colfax il
charge of James Carmical. who had sur
rendered to Justice of the Peace e. w
Pollard, for the killing of VIM. Walden
We are not able to get at all the partic
lars, but it seems that Carmical used {
shot gun, killing Walden instantly. The
homicide occurred about 2 p. m, Thurs
day, Aug. 9th, and was the result OF {
quarrel about Carmicaps wife.

Some Railroad Facts.

The railroad asks for mill tax, and
this will be just 80 cents on each 800
valuation.
The most of the taxpayers in Grant
parish have about 500 worth of proper
ty. So the average citizen would only
have his taxes raised 81, and with rail-
road here he would save that much on
two barrels of flour.
The average farmer pays taxes on about
$500 worth Of property. and his taxes
would be increased 81 so. He ships, say,
10 balee Of cotton, at an everage cost Of
q per bale, or $40 for getting his crop to
market. With railroad here he could
ship at half that rate and be about 80
ahead.
There are something like a thousand
other items that we might enumerate
among the advantages railroad would
give US, but we do not wish to be tedi-
GUS, and any thoughtful man can figure
them out for himself. Suffice it to say
we believe in accepting the proposition
Of the railroad, and let 'er roll.
Some of our people complain that they
will get no advantage or return from the
proposed tax, but they will, every single
one Of them. The increase in the public
school fund alone will give each child
about 80 cents, and the increased reve-
nues will allow handsome increase OF
the school fund appropriation. Besides
the large addition to the parish revenues
will Immediately put her on cash basis.
and jurors and witnesses will then be paid
in cash, instead of selling their scrip at
80 and 60 cents, as they have always done
heretofore.
Then again We feel justified in taxing
ourselves just for the sake of forcing the
Jay Gould heirs, T. 4 P. Railroad Co.,
and other monopolies. to help build up
public improvements in Grant parish that
will be of benefit to somebody besides
themselves. The Watkins people may
make good thing of this road, but one
thing is certain, all the people of Grant
parish will also be benefited by it.

In regard to the riots lately re-
ported from China, in which a
number of missionaries were cruel
ly put to death, the intelligent
Cinnamon of Washington City say
the laying of these crimes to the
sect of Vegetarians is absurd.
Notably those connected with the
Chinese legation, discredit the re-
port that the recent riots in China
have been committed by the vege-
tarians. Said one of these gentle
men in discussing this report: "It
is Incredible; the vegetarians in
all eastern countries are persons
who abstain from the use of all
flesh as an article of diet because
of conscientious scr,,ples against
the takingof any form oflife. They
are of Buddhist faith, and do not
believe in killing animals, much
less human beings, and it is not to
be believed that they would have
let antagoism to the Christian re-
ligion betray them into any violence
that would cause the loss of life.
They are more or less fanatical to
be sure, but they are regarded as
of submissive disposition"
Discussing the matter further.
he said it was true that strong pref
udice existed among the vegetarians
against the missionaries, because
of the formers adherence of meat.
as an article of diet, and because
they believe that the practice of
meat eating is part of the Chris
tian faith. Many Of them think
that if they should become Christ
ians they would be compelled to
adopt meat diet, and some of the
native converts to Christianity, be-
tween whom and the followers of
the other faith there is always
sharply defined antagonism, have
done much to intensity the feeling
by performing acts especially cal
culated to shake the sensibilities Of
the anti-fesh eaters, but instead, as
is the feeling of the Buddhist on
this account, the gentleman quoted
does not believe that it would have
led them to commit an act in direct
contravention of their doctrine.
He thinks it more likely that adj
vantage has been taken of the
knowledge of this antagonism be-
tween the vegetarians and the
Christians to lay the blame for the
killing of the missionaries at the
doors of the anti-meat eating sect,
when in fact they were in no way
responsible for it.
Advices received from China,
under date of August 9th, state
that four of the ring leaders of the
recent massacre of missionaries
have been beheaded by the new
viceroy at Cheng tn. They are
said to have complained that they
only acted with the consent of the
old viceroy.

We do not recOllect to have ever
seen a more concise or clearer
statement of the operation of the
Sherman Act than the following,
by the Sugar Belt Vindfcator:
The Sherman act Of 1890, which re-
quired the purchase by the government
OF 100000 ounces OF silver yearly,
opened a market for more than the silver
product of American mines then available
for coinage purposes. Yet with de-
mand created greater than the supply,
contrary to the expectations of those who
thought this market would raise the price
Of the metal, the price soon found its lev
ell in the markets of the world. The grad
ual decline OF the metal continuing down
ward until it struck the low price of Ssh
cents per ounce in 1892, against 81 q
per ounce in September 1890! Here we
see with such an excellent customer as
the government, and one ready to take
the entire output of the silver mines of
the country, the market price of the pro-
duct steadily declined. The law of the
world proved mightier than the law of
of the United States. The moral OF this
lesson is, one nation, single-handed and
alone, cannot initiate the price of any CON-
modify and dictate its value to the world.
Here we have plainly stated the
undisputed effect, or rather non-ef-
feet, of an act that was passed es-
pecially for the benefit of the silver
men, and at their instance. What
guarantee do they give us that we
may escape the evils of a depreci-
ated currency, that sure harbinger
of universal bankruptcy and dis
tress? We know that they have
been a disturbing factor in nation
al Legislation for twenty-five years;
and we know we have now twenty
times as much silver money as we
had before they raised their howl.
Suppose we give present regula-
tions a fair trial-get rid of our
government mendicants, have a lit
tie peace and quiet, and try the
use of both gold and silver for a
while. We have never had the
use of both metals as money until
present regulations guaranteed
their use and afforded us an abun-
dant supply Of silver.
