Arrested for kissing.

The Picayune's correspondent
from Jackson. Miss, last Tuesday,
says:
A very interesting caee will come
up in the Police Court of the city
on Wepncsday, when Robert Lewis
and Daisy Walker Of Claiborne coun-
ty, will face HIS Honor. Last night
they were arrested at the Union
Depot by three officers OF the city j,
who were called in by the other
passengers. 1t was alleged by
waiting passengers against the
couple that they had been INDUCING
in an osculatory exhibition, which
was not grateful to the other
passengers, who called the minions
of the law. The couple protested
that they were within their rights !;
that they had just been married and
that they had perfect right to kiss
each other in public il they so de-
sired, but the police. while they
could cite no municipal ordinance
against kissing arrested them on the
general charge Of disorderly con.
duct. They gave bond their for
appearance Wednesday morning in
the Police Court.

The Republican Whites
and Negroes.

Louisiana, politically, is a Demo-
cratic State, but IN the interest of
good government, the best Demo
Gratis have long wished for re-
spectacle white Republican party
in the State to act as a check on
the Democratic politicians.
Where State is overwhelmingly
dominated by any one party, there
is no possibility of aiming the
men who control the machine,
whereas where there is a strong
and respectable opposition, j, acts
as check on the bosses.
From time to time there has
been talk of a white Republican
Party, and several years ago num-
bers of respectable white citizens,
who had previously acted with,
and, in many cases, held office as
Democrats, went over to the other
side and announced themselves az
Republicans.
For time they refused TO have
any connection with the negro Re-
publican party, which had for
many years held all the Federal
offices III the State.
The white Republican party, or
"Lily Whites" as they are called,
have found out by sad experience
that the only political organization
in the State that has any recogni-
ton IN the National Councils of
the Republican party, is the negro
element which makes up the body.
The Chilly Whites have been
given to understand that they must
consort politically with the ne
groes. or they will have no re-
cognition. This is unfortunate,
because it destroys the possibility
of a white Republican party in the
State.-Picayune.
