A EC0E Law.

A news dispatch from jackson
Miss, says:
'sThe legislature has decided
that district attorneys must not
have partners hereafter. 1t has
developed that several of the
district attorneys of the State
have partners in the practice of
law. and it may be that the legis-
lature had come to the conclusion
that they we're getting a little too
much to do--catchirg the unfortu-
mates who have to go to lazy both
coming and going"
This is a most excellent law.
Indeed We believe it would be
better still to the number of
prosecuting attorneys, increase
their pay, and permit them to do
nothing else.
The States attorney should
have neither partners norcIients.

LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans of Louisiana
met in convention at New
Orleans yesterday and solemnly
went through their quadren-
| NAL comedy of nominating a
ticket. These gentlemen have no
hope in elccting any candi-
dates but deem it necessary to
give SYMPTOMS of life at stated
periods in order to rebut the pre-
sumption of political extinction.
Their action is similar to the legal
process knows as reviving u judge
ment. a process necessary to coun-
teract the operation of the statue
of limitations. Their proceed
ings are characterized by har-
mony, and there is no scramble
for nominations. it being generally
understood that these perfunctory
honors belong 60 the class partly
described by the late Bill Allen
OF Ohio as ''barren localities.

no stock in patriotism as a NOV
ing principle Of political conduct
take q different view Of these
rainbow-chasing assemblapcs and
cruelty affirm that fheir purposes
is not to keep alive party tradi-
tions add perpetuate party organ
izaiion, but that their chief pur-
pose is to secure desirable posi-
ton at the pie counter when the
periodical distribution takes
place. There is doutless among
Louisiana Republicans a large
contingent allegiance to the parry |
S innissolebly associated with the |

cans by conviction and faith.

when occasion arises to reaffirm

What it stands for. They have

md do not hesitate to declare

omes. They have no hope of

ognize that in the putting forth

PROMINENT CITIZEN FOULLY
MURDERED BY A NEGRO.
THE MURDERER ESCAPED
After Committing Most Das-

Made Good His Escape.

i The worst tragedy in the hist Dry
of Winfield was enacted Sunday
night at 10 O'Clock when r. b.
Wright was shot TO death by Shep-
herd, a negro. The affair created
more excitement than anything
occurring heretofore in the town.
Trouble had been expected for
some time in the joint where this
deplorablc affair occurred.
Shepherd conducted Il disrep-
utable house north from the
Arkansas Southern depot and for
the past two years s!evilment of
almost every kind has been going
on there among negroes. Efforts
have been made to break the place
up, but without success. On
several occasions purveyors of
blind tiger whiskey have been
caught in ard near the dive but
to every one caught apparently
two or more took up the unlaw-
full business.
The dead man was deputy city
marshal and on several occasions
had gone to the place to quell
disturbances. 1t is not known If
he was acting in the capacity of
peace officer on this OCCASION, Us
there were no eye witnesses to
to the tragedy. He went to the
place in company with a nephew,
Floyd Long, young man about
nineteen years old.
He went into a room where
Shepherd and two other negroes
were playing on an organ
and asked to speak with the
negro. Shepherd told the other
negroes to step out and they did |
SO. The officer and the negro
passed a few words. the tone of |
which according to the evidence |
given by the two negroes did not
indicate that either was mad. |
The negroes said they then heard
a lick and firing commenced.
Five shots were fired in quick
succession and FLOYD Long
opened the door to find the officer
leaning against the wall. AS
soon as the door was opened the
negro made break into the dark
and escaped. Dong assisted the
wounded man in an attempt to
stand, but he expired at once.
He was struck with three bullets,
'ne oEer the left nipple which

through the body. Another one
