Gov. Foster refused to interfere
wife the verdict of the Lafayette
jury and on yesterday evening the
murderers of poor old Martin Beg
maud paid the death penalty of
their atrocious and diabolical crime.
There is sickly sentimentality in
such cases and as usual the kind
hearted-if -minde1-individ-
uals 'tfred" in their petition asking
rePrieve or Communication of the
sentence, but the appeals grounded
only upon pity and sentiment, were
properly ignored by the chief execu-
tive, and for the preparation of a
most cowardly and atrocious crime,
Ernest and Alexis Blanc paid the
penalty with their lives. 1t is we'll
that the earth is rid of such fiends.
There was no doubt of the guilt
Of the boys. They were proper OBJ
jects of pity, but they deserved no
more mercy than they extended old
Begnaud when he was gagged and
bound down in bed and they were
daggers through his heart
Iberville South.
The theory that the all-levee sys-
tenn confines the current, cuts out
the bed of the river, and thus af-
fords deep and ample recepticle |
for flood water, is now going to |
pieces about as fast as the levees.
The all-levee system which has re-
suited in the gradual raising of the
bed of the river is complete and |
most disastrous failure, and no
amount of talk can make it appear
IN any other light. Never before
N the whole history of the Missis-
'ippi delta have the levees been
higher, broader and stronger than
hey are to-day, and yet the flood
breaks have followed breaks with
appalling rapidity. What the end
will be no one can tell, but there is
eason to fear that the greater por-
ion of the lower delta will go under
States.

VIA T TIE F4RMER LOSES.

! VITA T THE F4RMER LOSES.
Under this heading The Hun,
County (Texas) News has an article
which should be an eloquent appeal
in favor of the establish ment of
cotton mills throughout the South.
Here it is:
ttHunt county farmer raises a
bale of cotton and hauls it to the
gin. He pays for the bagging and
ties, 81 for ginning and he then
brings 1t to town, where he pays
the buyer 50 cents, the weigher 10
cents, COMPRISING 60 cents, freight
to Rhode Island or Connecticut IS.
This foots up So. SO against the bale
by the time it reaches the factory.
1t is then made into domestic and
other cotton goods and sold to the
large jobbing houses at profit;
the freight from the factory to the
jobbing house adds an item Of ex-
Pense. The jobber sells to the
Hunt county merchant at profit,
and then the railroads get in an
other whack at in freight from New
York to the retailer. Not counting
the profit of the manufacturer and
retailer that bale has been at an ex-
Pense of about $40 in its rounds.
''Hunt county raised for the sea-
son of 1896 IN round numbers
"a, 900 bales of cotton, which III
their unnecessary rounds cost the
producers of this county the enor-
nous sum of 100000. Cut the
sum in half and allow $40 per bale
for shipping the manufactured arti-
Gle away and that leaves $4,000.
Half this sum, or IS per bale of
one years crop would build a cot
ton factory in Hunt county that
could turn into cloth every bale of
cotton in Hunt and adjoining coun-
ties. Such a mill would employ
hundreds of men, and they and
their families would have to live
from the farm. With such condi-
tions existing it does not require an
expert mathematician to figure out
where the farms profit would come
in, and when the farmer prospers
the balance of the country is safe. /"

The Blanc case has shown tina,
justice can be prompt too, and tina,
it is not necessary that it should
wait a year or more to punish q
murderer. 1t is not as brutally

lows the prisoner to prove his inno-

: awe-inspiring than the mob which
hears no evidence, and which nearly
always INDUCES in brutality.
The trial and legal execution of
the Blancs, has met every argument
advanced in support of lynch law.
1t has proved that there is no need
for Judge Lynch in any part of
