WIN Cause Regret.

Many a married couple in this and adj
joining states will learn with regret
that Justice George McWhorter, of Mil
waukee, is dead. He committed suicide
by shooting himself in the head. The
deed was committed in his office, where
the Justice had performed the marriage
ceremony for hundreds of couples. Few
men were better or more widely known,
principally for his record as marrying
Justice, his office being very handy to
both the boats and trains.

THE TUG OF WAR.

and they will determine upon policy
of opposition. Althur"h in the minor
ity, the democrats viii maintain !heir
party policy, and will obstruct party
legislation TO the best of their ability;
and will defeat the majority if they can
possibly do SO by any parliamentary
means.
Whether party rule, by caucus, is
proper and worthy of the continued
support of politicians is a question
which each thinking reader will deter
mine for himself. Young men who are
entering upon political careers will do
well to study the subject of the caucus,
and be prepared to take some positive
stand one way or the other. Young
men will do well to make mental note
of one fact, and keep it ever in memory:
Whenever any man of independent
spirit bolts from the caucus, or refuses
to be bound by caucus determination,
it has always happened that such man
lays in Big stock of trouble; and that
he is usually defeated by the connivanee
of leading members of his own party.
ne caucus RUE Is So SlIOuB lHdt al y
man who undertakes TO openly oppose
it clouds his immediate future.
In December, 1889, William McKin-
ley, of Ohio, was candidate for speak
er of the house of representatives. He
was defeated in caucus, and Tom Reed
became speaker. After the caucus de-
cided upon Mr.. Reed, and he was nom
mated in the house, Mr.. Mckinley
voted with all other republicans for
Reed who was elected. If Mckinley
had been made speaker by that caucus
he might never have been president.
But, being defeated for speaker, he was
made chairman of the committee on
ways and means. That committee for
mulated a tariff bill which became
known as the Mckinley bill. That bill
made its putative author the most pop
ular man in his party. Thus by being
defeated in caucus Mckinley came to
the front, and attained the presidency.

Damage By The Freeze.

Damage By The Freeze.
The freeze which came upon Us
last week, quite unexpectedly. has
caused great deal of damage to
the seed cane that was standing,
a. the reports from almost every
section, is that the cane is serious
ly injured, and will not be good
for seed, except in very few in
stances where the cane was very
thick; cane is not q common thing
this year.
1t is not supposed that the cane
is injured to the extent of causing
q loss to the planter, but it des-
troys the seed of those who had
not his seed planted or windrow-
ed, and we learn very few planters
had saved all their seed. We can
again expect another short crop
1.-The coming year, for want of seed.
It seems that the planters are
negligent about their seed, when
October comes, it is time to put
down the seed. regardless of the
conditions of the weather, it is
better to risk dry or wet weather
than to risk freeze.

A Break For Liberty.

The negro Luther Brown, who
is in Jail awaiting trial for the
murder of another negro at Bayou
Chene, made bold break for IL
berry Sunday morning when jail
er Bertrand opened the cage to
supply the Gagged prisoners with
water.
These cages are made in such q
way as to procure entire safety for
the prisoners, but it seems that
some of the sliding doors are not
in working order and cannot be
worked. 1t seems, however, that
these doors could, and should be
Immediately repaired.
When the jsiler entered the
cage with the water, he was inn
mediately seized by the negro who
threw him down and tried to wrest
his pistol from him, which the
jailer could not himself pull ont,
it being caught in the pocket; the
negro then fed and crossed the
bayou, but as the alarm was
promptly given, Mr.. j. E. Ber-
trand, son of the jailer mounted q
horse left after the negro in all
haste and captured him just 90 he
was entering q patch of cane.
The negro appeared to be drunk,
from whiskey which is supposed
to have been given him by the
Angeles, who occupy the same
cage.
The authorities should, without
delay. have the Jail fixed in such q
way as to protect the jailer from
the assault of criminals who are
in his charge. as it 10 reasonable
that man convicted of murder to
the penitentiary for life, or to be
hanged, will try to escape when
be has a chance, therefore, the
life of the jailer is continually ex-
posed under the present condition
of the Jail.
