INELIGIBLE.

1t is rumOred that one or more
of the recently elected members OF
the Police Jury of Rapides are in
eligible, because of the fact that
they do not possess the necessary
amount of property and Cannot,
therefore, qualify under their COM
missions. We have not examined
the assessment roll to verify or
disprove the rumor, but call the
attention of those who may be in
this position, to the law, which We
quote as follows:
No. o. AN ACT
70 amend and re.enact Section

After the smoke Of the battl.

After the smoke of the battle
had vanished on election day, in
East Baton Rouge, nothing but
fragments of the Democratic party
were visible. The remnants are
now trying "to pull themselves to.
gether' by reorganization and it is
to be hoped, will SO strongly i'll
trench themselves that the enemy
cannot dislodge them at the next
election.

1t is high time that the ma.
lions of a civilized, enlightened
and christian world should inter.
pose their influence, even that OF
armed Intervention if necessary,
TO suppress the brutal, savage and
inhumau atrocities which are daily
being perpeirated in the Island OF
Cuba. Respect for international
law, the usages and comfy of na.
tons should be no barrier to the
filing OF a vigorous protest against
the conduct Of war, where every
prisoner captured is shot down in
cold blood, hospitals burned, the
sick and wounded massacred, wo-
men and girls ravished and then
put to the sword to conceal the
crime.
