Lowing wife and Moiher Goe. Insane


A sad picture was presented at the
parish Jail at Opelousas Friday even
ing, that of once devoted wife and
loving mother transformed into q veri-
table demon, thirsting for the blood
of the children she once tenderly
fondled and nursed. Mrs. Marshal
Westley Lutz is the name of the un-
fortunate woman, a member of
highly reputable family living on
Bayou Cocodrie. Her mania is for
killing her children, and on several oc-
casions she has attempted to take their
innocent lives, until it became necessa-
ry for her husband to have her con-
fined. She was incarcerated Friday
evening and will be sent to the lnnatic
asylum. There seems to be an epi-
demic of lunacy in that parish; this is
the eighth during few months-four
men and four women.

"The fastest vessel of her class in
the world" was the verdict accorded
by the officers of the trial board at the
conclusion of the speed trial of the
new gunboat Nashville, Friday, on
Long Island sound. The speed re-
quired by the government was 1877
knots. The average speed made by
the vessel was 16.706 knots an hour,
making an excess of speed very near 8
knots. With bonus of $40, 900 for
each excess knot. this means a total OF
$50, 900 for the builders. The vessel
will be commanded after her accept

SECTARIAN INDIAN SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Sem

priation bill, but did not complete it.
The debate brought out an energetic
speech by Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, pro-
testing against the abandonment of sec
tartan Indian schools. He knew, he
said, that what he said would subject
him to bitter criticism. He was brought
up Protestant, and had no connec-
ton with the Roman Catholic Church.
But he had no sympathy with that
cowardly and ignorant sentiment that
any religious denomination could mem
ace our liberties. He had been reared
TO believe the Jesuits were opposed to
to republican institutions; but he had
travelled through the Indian country.

them a travesty on education except

The Same Old Cry-Peace is Not
Wanted.

The bold announcement made BY
the independent press Of Baltimore
that they intend to adhere to theil
rule or ruin line Of policy makes the
solution perfectly clear to all true Dem
ocrats who desire the restoration o
Democratic councils in Maryland. We
can see no reason why national ISSUES
should be forced into the coming fall
campaign. There can be no good rea-
son why men heretofore interested in
the welfare Of the Democratic party
should not be willing to forget all past
differences and unite for the common
good Of all. OF course, selfish men
who prefer their own individual adj
vancement to party success, will con-
tinue to make discord and bring about
discussions simply because they are
embittered at individual leaders Of the
party. This class Of men are not seek
ing harmony and have no desire to see
the Democrats Of Maryland get to-
gether. At their banquets they boldly
assert their independence Of party obli-
cations, and in their selfish policy they
are backed up by a selfish, so-called
independent press. To the true Demo-
Gratis who are willing to forget and
forgive, we must alone turn our
thoughts. For them we shall urge the
nomination Of the very best men
throughout the State; men of standing
and position; men who have the inter
est of Democracy at heart and who
are interested in the welfare and good
name of the State. Let these nominal
tons be made under the organization
of the Democratic party. Let them
be selected without resort to love feasts
or unusual methods, but let the people
be fully consulted and fairly treated.
then let all unite in grand effort to
win Maryland from the hands Of our
enemies. 1t seems useless to hope for
aid or assistance from men who boldly
proclaim their determination not TO
submit to the voice Of the majority Of
their party. The party must not turn
backward. Let it boldly proclaim its
desire to have all true Democrats Join
its ranks. Let it determine to select
first-class men as its representatives;
in doing this they will have done their
duty. If we are to have our State con-
tinue in the hands of those opposed to
every line of policy advocated by De
mocracy, it will be folly for them to
cry out against McKinleyism, high
tariff or the outrages of the Dingley
bill. If they want better laws in
Maryland; if they want economy in
the administration Of our public affairs,
they will not hesitate to advocate
first-class Democrats for the nomina-
ton, then honestly help to elect them.
Democrats, to work; stand by your
party and be not turned aside by those
who have already placed us in the
hands of the enemy. If they can
stand the racket we can surely do the
same.

FROM all accounts, the assessment re-
turns from the various counties
make great inroad- into the taxable
basis and must necessarily increase the
rate Of taxation. This will be viewed
in exceedingly narrow light By those
whom it most directly affects, and
those who were instrumental in pass
ing this doubtful measure, whilst they
may BE- given credit for upright mo
tivee in this regard, will naturally have
10 bear the burden Of popular displea--
ure. This il certainly not the time to
expect values II personal OF real prop
erty To increase or even remain normal.
and we frankly stated this in the CITr-
ZES whilst the discussion was on. We
hope that the final returns may i'm
prove the situation and avert the neces-
sity Of greatly increasing the present
rate Of taxation in Frederick County.
