STABBED ON WHARF.
Argument Over n Man Resulted in
n Cutting ARRAY.

Following an argument over a man
Rosa Jenkins. colored, was stabbed at
the wharf of the steamer Two States,
at the foot of Bull street, early last
night by another girl called Hattie.
The cutting ARRAY was reported to
Desk Sergeant Baughn at police head
quarters and an investigation was
made by Patrolman Becker. The Jen-
kins girl was not seriously wounded
and left on the steamer for her home
between this city and Augusta. She
agreed to return and prosecute her as
sailant if she should be arrested. The
police however. were unable to locate
Hattie, or learn her last name. The
affray oCcasioned considerable excite
ment, during which the girl with the
knife made her escape. The police
were unable to discover the identity
of the man over whom the fight is
alleged to have occurred.

The theory is that municipality
should be conducted like . private
business, for the benefit OF those
who are interested IN its welfare.
No city ever profits by bitter.
tanatical contest which always
means that the administration is
to be conducted according to the
ideas Of select few. La unta
IS on the verge Of a city cam.
paign, which may or may not be =
bitter one. Most business men
shrink from from an active partici.
patton in the business affairs of the
city because they do not want to
become the objects OF the wrath Of
every saint and sinner in the burg.
We do not believe that La Junta
ever had a more representative
class Of the best citizenship in the
town on the city council than il
has at present. They are all busi-
ness men and property owners, at
least four of them are church mem
bers, and all are vitality interested
in the welfare of La Junta. They
don't seem to suit either the church
members or the saloon men; how.
ever, a. we have heard both classes
roast them indiscriminately. When
man runs for Office in this burg
he must either stand as the "whis
key candidate" or as the ''dry can
didate," and must stand tied hand
and foot pledged to do one thing.
and il does not matter whether the
city goes to the dogs while he is
doing that one thing. The sa-
loon question is not the one
and only thing with which the
city dads of this burg have to
deal. There are others-several of
them. La Junta is as quiet,
orderly and decent q town as
there is in the state of the same
population, and as the ordinances
and regulations regarding saloons
are properly enforced and observed
we fail to see why any one should
have . grievance. In time the
Temperance question will regulate
itself, rs the drink habit at present
is under the ban in the social,
commercial and business world
more than it ever was before. 1t
isn't the saloons that need reform.
ing and regulating near as much
as it is humanity itself. When
there is no demand for booze

sity cease to exist.
