Taken to the "pea."

Sheriff D. T. Stafford and Dep,
uty NJ. V. Lazazs went to Baton
Rouge last Friday, having in Gus.
tody the following prisoners, sen.
fenced to the penitentiary: Hen
ry j. Bode and e. S. Johnson
(aIias Edward Brooks), sentenced
TO twenty years each for burglar
izing the stores of Messrs. Gus
Gehr and Sam Warshauer last
week, VIM. Mason, larceny, one
year, and Allen Grown, larceny
one year. The first two are white
and the latter colored. 1t will be
remembered that Bode is an es
capped convict. who had been sent
up from New Orleans on a couvic.
ton of burglary for six years. On
arraignment, he and johnson both
plead guilty and were given the
above sentences. After being sen
fenced he remarked soto uoce, "why
not give me a little more for lagn
iappe, Judge, as | do not expect
to remain i'll the peuitentiary any
length Of time." He is correct, he
has been there aud knows how
easy 1t is to 'run the gauntletn Of
the guards, when sent into the
country to labor on the leyees
cotton plantations and public
works.
The only way to obviate it, is tt
abrogate the Infamous peniten,ia
~ lease and require the convict.
to labor within the walls of tht
penltcntiary for the benefit of the
State. Ii the Lessee can pa,
$4,000 year and make money
1t Is safe to assume that the State
can utilize their labor to advant
age and make them self sustaining
At any rate, the temptations t
regain liberty which are now
thrown i'll their way, would be OF
less frequent occurrence, they
would be treated more hnmanely,
as it they had some rights to life
and not be shot down by brutal
and lnhuman guards, who have nc
more regard for the life of a con
Wet attempting to escape, than
they would have for that Ola rab.
Id cur, seeking to devour all per.
sons and animals coming in con.
tact with lin.

Cotton, wheat and grain of all
kinds going up and silver going
down, it being now lower than for
many years. About a year ago
the free silver demagogue pro
claimed from every stump and
through the press, that as silver
went up or down so the price of all
products advanced or declined,
aud further that everybody would
be ruined and the whole country
go to the ssdcmnition bow vows
unless we adopted free coinage oil
silver. Every we'll informed man
should have known there was nc
truth i'll such assertions, but all
the same, these and other equally
false staten 5nts were sufficient tC
delude the "dear people" and en-
able the demagogne to secure al
office, so he could live at the public
expense.

Arbitration Treaty Defeated.

The arbitration treaty, whicl
was negotiated by Secretary OF
ney and Ambassador Paanceforte
between the United States and
Great Britain, has been changing
fire" in the United States Senate
for some time, but it was finally
defeated last week, by q vote OF
43 to rs. 1t had been so badly
emasculated, however, with amend.
ments in the Senate, that it would
probably have been unacceptable
to Great Britain and would have
entirely defeated the object sought
to be accomplished. Hence, its
defeat will not be regretted. In
scanning the list of the 26 who
voted against ratification, we rec.
Ognize the names Of Senators who
have been most pronounced in
their opposition to ex.President
Cleveland, as well as those who
took a prominent part in the dis.
integration of the Democratic par.
ty by the overthrow of its time
honored principles and traditions
at Chicago and the incorporation
in its platform of popullstic her
