LITTLE SHORT OF AN OUTRAGE.

1t is announced from Baton
Rouge that the joint judiciary
committee has decided to make
one judicial district of Lafayette,
Acadia and VermiliOn. In view
of the fact that as now consti
tuted this district, composed of
| Lafayette and Acadia parishes.
engages the attention of a Judge
nearly the whole year, it is clear
that the addition of VermiliOn to
it will be made at the expense of
the administration of Justice.
But as an expeditions adminis-
tratiOn of Justice seems to be the
least thing that concerns the
gerrymanderS at Baton Rouge
we do not suppose that matter
has been considered at all. The
predominant purpose of the
scheme appears to be to promote
the political interests of indi-
vidualS. and we are surprised
that the newspaper reports do
not contain Il single word of pro
test from our Representatives in
the Legislature.
With palpablc inconsistency
the committee recommends that
the parish of ST. Mary alone
form one district.
According to the census
which was taken last year, ST
Mary has a population of "a, 141.
The same census gives Lafa-
yette 22,~23 people, NermiliOn
O,7O5. Acadia 23. 423, maxim" the
total population of the three par
ishes 66,95
Evidently in the opinion of the
Legislative committee the fact
that the population OF the pro-
posed Acadia-Lafayet Nermil
ion district is nearly twice as
large as that of ST. Mary, cuts
no figure, and the other import
ant question of area is not
worthy Of any consideration.
AS it is, the Judge of this dis
trict. who is known to be as hard
and fast a worker as there is on
at least ten months in the year
in order to keep up with the
docket
With the addition of another
parish to the district it will be
impossible for any Judge to do
the work expeditiously and
conScientiOuSly. OF course,
some lawyer will be found to
take the office, but he will not be
able to do the work. and the pub
lie will suffer.
The Gazette believes that this
thing is little short Of an outrage,
and if this parish has any friends
in the Legislature they will not
be slow in making hemselveS
heard in Il vigorous protest
against so rank an injustice.
The interest of the people in
so vital a matter should not be
sacrificed to bolster up the pol
itical fortunes of anybody.

In his biennial report PreSi-
dent Stephens asked that an an
nual appropriation of $4,000
be made for maintenance. That
estimate was made upon a most
conservative basis. Besides the
salaries Of the instructors a
mum Der of very impOr tant items
must come out of the mainte-
nance fund. President Stephens
did not make any eXtravagant
requests, and, considering that
he asked only what is needed to
! defray the expenses of the
school, it is to be regretted that
the committee reduced the
amount to $4,000. 1t is to be
hoped that before the final pas
sage of this bill the maintenance
fund will be increased to S13, 900,
as the present allowance is
clearly inadequate.

TRADING IN LEGISLATION
Peculiar Position of the Senate Con-
fereeS.

Trading is a fine art in legislation. The
Senate committee on commerce found it.
sels in a peculiar position this year be-
cause it reserved nothing to trade on when
it reported the river and harbor bill TO the
Senate. The committee reported favorably
on every proposition of the House and add
ed 100000 more to the bill. The Senate
passed every House item in the bill and
then it was thrown in the hands Of The
conferees. The House conferees were not
interested in having the senators agree to
any item, as everything had been agreed
to that the House had put on. On the
other hand the senator's wanted everything.
There was no basis for a trade. Ii the
committee had stricken from the bill $780,
600 of House appropriations the conferees
would have been in splendid position to
have had something to concede as an argu-
mentative lever for forcing an agreement
on the things they wanted. But, in spite
of the lack of trading material. the con-
ferees have agreed on most Of the amend
ments and in some form complete agree
ment will be reached in a short time

Electro-Magnetic Gun Will Throw
Two-Ton Proiectile.

A dispatch from Berlin says: Prof K.
Birkeland, the Norwegian physicist, has
been in Berlin recently for the purpose of
demonstrating the powers of his electro
magnetic cannon before a number of ex-
perts in electrical artillery. The results Of
the demonstrations have been so convincing
that firm Of artillery manufacturers have
offered to buy the invention for immediate
exploitation, provided Prof Birkeland will
increase the length of the piece used in the
trials so that it will throw a projectie
Weighing two tons distance Of twelve
miles.
Theoretically, the device can throw a
projectile weighing two tons distance Of
ninety miles, or even further, by suffi-
ciently prolonging the tube. The principle
upon which the new gun acts has not been
made public, but it is known that the pro-
jectile Is expelled from an ordinary cast
iron tube thickly wrapped with copper wire.
This tube can, of course. be made more
cheaply than the cannon now in use. No
explosive gases result from the discharge
Of the new gun.
Prof. Birkeland's invention has stirred up
great interest among technical observers,
some of whom are of the opinion that it
signifies a greater revolution in fighting
material than that brought about by the
discovery Of gunpowder.
