Another Bad Coon.

1t seems that the idle, vicious
portion Of the negro race will not
leaen lessons from the terrible fate
Of the negro Charles, but somehow.
seek to emulate his example.
Reneyville had an excitement
18th inst. in which white
was shot by negro and in.
stantly killed. The white man
Knocked the negro down for de-
liberately jostling him on the side
walk when there was plenty of
room for both to pass without this
act on the part of the darkey.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that wise counsel prevailed, the
murder was not lynched but sent
to Jail to Alexandria.
On Saturday last the citizens of
Cheneyville met in mass meeting
and adopted the following resolu-
ti0ns:
First. Resolved, That there
are a certain set of negro men in
Cheneyville community who have
no visible means of gaining a liveli-
hood, and that they are considered
u detrlment TO the better element
Df negroes and injurious to the
quiet and peace of our ncigborhood.
that We notify them to imme-
iiately provide means of susten-
ance on in default thereof, that
they be compelled to leave the
community.
Second. As there is situated
gambling places, where the negroes
'ongregate to gamble during the
light and day time, rendering
hem perfectly unfit for work, that J
70 do hereby pledge ourselves to i
rcak UP said grabbing places o
nj severely punish all persons !,

Third. As there exists a custom Q

| weapons upon their persons and
of riding up and down the
public roads firing their pistols
also of getting out in front
of their houses and carrying OH a
continual firing, that whenever
caught in such practice said pistols
be taken away and the party be
properly dealt with.
Fourth. That whereas it is the
habit of numerous negroes to con
gregate and sit on the depot steps
preventing the passage of women
and children IN entering the depot
and ears: that the said custom be
Immediately abolished.
Fifth. That there exists all in
disposition among saucy and I'M
pudent set of young negro men
md women to yield sidewalks and
roads 10 ladies and children, that
any enc caught failing to so do, of
reported to the committee, shall be
severely dealt with.
Sixth. And whereas nineteenth of
the negro population Of our ward
are law-a abiding and worthy peO-
pie, and deserving of our aid and
protection, we d" hereby ask CO.
operation in executing the law
and carrying out these resolutions,
guaranteeing to the said better
elemcat of negroes all assistance
and protection i'm carrying ont
these resolutions.
Seventh. Resolved, That the
chairman be authorized to appoint
IA committee to see that these re-
solution are enforced and executed.
We consider them an excellent
set of resolution, and they show
the wonderful check on their TEN
pers, the cool judgment, the wis
dom of the people of Cheneyville
ia not lyching, in not at once
driving the idle, gambling class
out, but in giving them chance
to change their ways. Then, if
they do not reform, they will be
driven out as would vicious be
dogs.
The IBERIAN admires the
justice Of this. 1t has always be-
lieved that justice should prevail.
But, at the same time, the negro
Of the vicious class generally is to
blame. He is lazy, wants to live
without work, CANDLES, drinks had
whiskey, tOats a revolver, feels
that he is the best man on earth,
will not give half side walk, jOst
les ladies and children and gener-
ally is obnoxious to the community.
That negro will die violent death,
yet others in the same class do not
learn, AND MUST BE TAUGHT.
We commend the people of |
Cheneyville for their action in Or
sanizing as they have, and believe
hat they will control the disorder
v element in their town. w, |

Bayou Carlln Canal.

We learn with qualification that
the Commissioners Of the Bayou
Carlin Canal Drainage District are

by the Police Jury when the latter
incorporated the town OF New
Iberia IN the drainage district with
out ever consulting the town 5
Council or people. We use the word
"blundern above advise lily, for the
reason that the police jnry's atten-
ton was called (by one OF their own
membe,s) to the fact that the
towns charcter preclndes the police
jury from exercising any authority
over municipal affairs and has no
right to impose any taxation.
The force of this charter provl-
sion has been accentuated recently
by the decision Of the courts in the
trial OF the liquor license question.
The Commissioners have petition
ed the City Council to grant them
an audience in special session, which
the Councial is ready TO do. We
trust that an understanding WI! be

While on this subject we may
well call the police iury's attention
to a further possible error they
have made IN fixing the eastern
boundary of the district. Between
Main sire t and the Bayou Teche
are nearly all the manufacturing
enterprised OF the town, besides
many large business establishments
and valuable propertles-all OF which
are so situated that they will never
shed one gill Of water into theBayou
Carlin Canal. We understand that
1t Is principal OF law that a pro-
perty holder can successfully claim
exemption from any special tax
where he can show that he is not
directly benefited by the improve
ments contemplated.
1t navigable canal is successfully
dug to the town, entering the
corporate limits, 1t is quite true
thai all business enterprises Will be
and this can be clearly |
shown but the recent drainage act
OF this state does not contemplate
canal. provided the later
requires greater aud more expen-
sive cutting than is necessary for
drainage.
As the towns assessment would |
be quite two aud half times as
great as that of the rural portion
OF the drainage dlstrlct--or IN other
words, as the town would be paying

GAME LAW

Milwaukee, Nov. 20. - People who

all the necessary preparations for the
trip. taking guns, ammunition, food

forgot to buy licenses or believed 1t

and wolly county. But the game war
dens are vigilant, and the hunters who
pay licenses are also vigilant, conse-
quently when a hunter discovers that
some n is killing game when he has
no legal right to do SO, a. warden Is
informed If one a be found. The
Kokomo party contributed $3.50 to the
expenses of the game warden's de-
partment of the state government.

the costs. There never a been SO
much big game in Wisconsin, and this
is due to the fact hat the deer and

The belief that the note Of the pow

Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang, will
be completed soon is strengthened by
the results Of the recent informal con-
ferences of the ministers of the pow
ers. Mr.. Conger, the United States
minister, said to a correspondent Of
the Associated Press to-day:
The situation is apparently very IA,
vorable to the early beginning of me-
{gotiationsi for a preliminary settle-
ment. 1 believe the next meeting Of.
the foreign ENJOYS will virtually set

representatives of the powers. who.
will lose no time in presenting their de-
mands. What the. result will be 1t is
impossible to foretell. Events have
placed China in a very critical po-
sition. Whether she will be able to
preserve her integrity and to save her
trade relations with the rest of the
world will depend upon what the pow
ers- determine upon in the final settle
ment and upon her willingness to ac-ss
cept promptly the conditions proposed.
