A surveyor of the Southern Paci.
fic railroad was here this week, and
made trip to Arnaudville, going
over the surveys that were made
some time ago on both sides of tho
bayou. This visit is made for the
road to decide on which side they
want the right of way which the
several committee will have to OBJ.
tain to secure the extension of this
branch road to APnaudville. We
believe that the road will be built
very shortly if the people of tho
upper part OF the parish want it;
but If they create some ridiculous
opposition because the road passes
on one side or the other stations are
not placed where certain individals
want them for their personal benef,
they will not get the railroad. The
matter of the greatest Importance
tor them is to get the railroad,
whether on the east or west side,
and regardless of where the stations
are located. The railroad people
will select the side and locations
that will be most advantageous to
them; and the people along the
line should offer no objection to tho
right of way if they wand this road.

GALVESTON, TEXAS.

Senator Gray of Delaware ap-
pears to he in a fair way of becom.
ing a single taxer. He sees, as
every honest student of the subject
must see, that the land and trade
questions are inseparably con.
nected; that freedom to trade
implies freedom to produce, and
that production cannot be free
as long az land values are appro.
priated by individuals who do not
earn them. Senator Gray's conten.
ton in the senate that the tariff on
lumber has the effect of rendering
the b0unties of nature less accessi.
bic to consumers is the argument
of single takers, aud it is significant
that none of the protectionist
stalwarts attempted to take issue
with him. The Delaware senator
should now abandon his tariff for
revenue superstition and declare
for absolutely unmonopolized nat.
ural resources, which can be Oh.
tained and maintained only through
the single tax. - National Single

The Tariff Bill an Outrageously

following pointed and specific
items:

To my mind it assumes the form
of studied and pernicious sectional.
ism, of . deliberate and premedi.
tated attempt to punish the cotton
planter of the South and favor the
grain grower ofthe North and West.
In my opinion it admits of no other
construction.
In fact, q careful examination dis.
closes the earmarks of sectional ad.

provisions Of the bill, which should
be . source Of profound regret to
everyone interested 10 the general
welfare Of our common country.
The South seeks no advantage
and only asks for equal rights m.
der oil national legislation.
Sound public policy, if nothing
else, should secure to 40 these
rights, since continued injuries to
the South IL the near future must
react on the balance of the country.
When / consider the evident I'M

D Disciplining q College President

President E. Benjamin Andrews,
of Brown University, is the latest
educator to realize the dangers that
accompany the possession OF
opinions and courage in expressing
them. 1t appears that that great
and good man, John d. Rookie.
feller, whose career should be an
inspiration and whose character a
beacon light to all college youth,
was on the point of giving Brown
o million dollars, but refrained in
order to express his disapproval of
the presidents ''free silver and
free trade views" The trustees of
the college, conceiving that the
chief purposes of institutions OF
learning are to collect aims from
milli0naires and discourage thought
among students and professors,
have therefore appointed a com.
mittes to wait on the misguided
president and urge him to suppress
his opinions, lest other millions,
now held by trust magnates, gam.
blers, highwaymen or other crimi.
mails, may be diverted from the ins.
titution.
The least important feature of
this edifying incident is that in the
sense in which the phrase was used
in the recent campaign, President
10 not an advocate OF free
silver. His principal book on the
financial question, "An Honest
Dollar" did indeed furnish the
silver advocates with many pat
texts and pertinent arguments, but
the authors own position was that

A Tax that Cannot be Shifted,

A tax on improvements may be
shifted to the tenants, because il
tends to discourage building.
Money will not be invested in new
buildings without some prospect of
the ordinary net returns on capital.
But taxes on land cannot be shifted,
because they do not tend to reduce
the amount of land in the market,
but rather to increase it. The
landlords naturally collect just as
large rents as they can get at any
time, whether they are taxed low
or high. They do not ask their
tenants how much they can afford
to pay, and the tenants do not
ask how little the landlords can
afford to accept.-N. Y. Journal.

vience of state legislatures to muni-

The Ancient Laws of Ireland.

The ancient laws of Ireland, compiled
about the time of the conversion of the
island by st. Patrick, and known in
their completed form as Cain Patraic,
after the missionary, were curious in
many ways. There is no trace of Ro-
man law about this old Brehon code,
which, modified by st. Patrick, lasted
as the law of the Irish quite down to
Queen Elizabeth's time. 1t is like the
old German codes in that it makes
everything a matter of fine. When a
Judge on circuit, after the English
fashion, is to be appointed by one of
Henry Wis viceroys to a new dis
trict, the chiefs beg to know what is his
eric, in order that they may pay for
him, in case their people put him out
of the waA" And SO it was in the fifth
century. st. Patrick found law of
compensation existing, and he did not
succeed in altering it. He attempted
to do so, for he got sentence of death
passed on the man who soon after his
landing threw lance and slew his
charioteer. THE man was put to
death for his crime; but Patrick OBJ
tanned heaven for him." Therefore"
quantity adds the old commentator,
"as no one now has the power Of be-
slowing heaven, as Patrick had that
day, no one is put to death nowadays
but has to pay his eric"
The basis, then, of Irish law was
compensation. If any wrong is done,
and not atoned for, the sufferer, or his
tribe, has fright of distress" against
the criminal or his tribe. The seizure,
whatever it was, was lodged in the
public pound; and both parties went off
to the brehon judge) to get the case
settled by him. The judge heard the
witnesses and gave judgment, which
was usually religiously respected. A
commoner had to give chieftain no.
tice by fasting before his door for
given time, after which a seizure could
be made Undutiful children were for
hidden to inherit property; for leaving
a mad woman at large there was fine
of ten COWS, and for idiots not danger
Gus of five cows: a kinsman's crime
could be visited on his fathers, moth
ers or foster fathers tribes. There
was a certain exemption from seizure.
No man could be deprived of his harp,
his chess board, his raiment, his wife's
lap dogs or his children's playthings.

No Orphan Asylum in Australia.

Australia has no orphan asylums.
Every child who is not supported by
parents becomes a ward of the state,
and is paid pension for support, and
placed in private family, where board
and clothes are provided until the four
teenth birthday. After that he may be
able to go to work, in which case the
pension is placed to his credit until the
age of eighteen, when he becomes cit
izen, with a balance due to him from
the state to begin life with. This in
culcates a humane, charitable and re-
sponsible spirit in all residents, de-
creases the chances Of pauperisn, and
places every young man on fair and
square footing with the world.

the system is flying along the track of dis
ease at such frightful pace that no ordinary
methods will prevent disaster. There are
plenty of medicines which act merely as
brakes to "slow up" the disease and put
off disaster for little while; but that isn't
enough. What is needed is medicine that
will instantly reverse the entire wasting,
degenerating process.
