THE RusToN OUTRAGE.

Language is inadequate to por-
tray the horrors Of the crime COM
mitted in Ruston last Saturday
night where a house containing
nine human beings was. at three
o'clock in the morning. blown
into splinters and Ave of the nine
people were killed. The writer
visited the scene and saw it in all
of its horrible reality.
The good people of Ruston are
terribly wrought up as they should
be and are leaving no stone un-
turned to ferret out the perpetra-
tor or perpetrators and see that
they are punished.
There is no punishment laid
down in our statutes adequate to
meet the enormity of this crime.
The whole State is interested In
securing the right parties. The
one who would be so vile as to
commit a crime like that might on
the slightest provocation place a
stick of dynamite under one of the
dormatories of the Industrial
Institute, where there are children
from every section of the State.
The laws should make it the duty
of the railroads to notify the
sheriff of the quantity and the
name of the consignee who re-
ceives a shipment Of dynamite
and the person so receiving should
account to the sheriff for every
stick of it used and in case he let
any one else have some of it, il
should be his duty to notify the
sheriff. of that fact as to name and
quantity.
Every kind ofrestriction should
be thrown around the use of dyna-
mite SO that it would be impossible
for irresponsible persons to get it
Those who handle it should be
required to give bond. We hope
that our candidates for the Legis-
lature will bear this in mind.

THE SPANISH PRINCE.

Thank goodness, he has arrived
at last! The visit of the stork to
the royal families is a rather tire
some affair-for us in America.
We have to be told about it in
rather indelicately worded cable
grams every day for weeks in
advance when it doesn't concern
us any more than il does for us to
know who played rings around"
the planet Saturn and why. We
affect to despise in our democratic
way the spe cial virtues with which
royalty claims to be endowed.
but we are almost as ready as the
European peasant to shout and
dance and kowtow when son is
born to some monarch whose job
may or may not last until the boy
is old enough to know the diff
ference between a crown and a
-four sitter. For a week now the
newspapers will be telling US in
ponderous editorials how frought
with importance to Spain and to
the world was the birth of
a son to King Alfonso. There's
nothing in any of it.
The baby who today is Prince
of Asturas. wearer of the purple
and heir to the Spanish throne
may some day have to peddle hot
tamales for livelihood. Or, ia
the natural order of things. it may
prove to be the worse for Spain
that he ever was born. Who
knowsp 1t may be that in some
squalid hut in some remote vii
lage there was, born at the same
hour that this young prince came
into the world another boy whose
destiny possesses a far greater
interest for his country and fof
the world. The world did not
ring with the news of Napoleon's
birth, but it witnessed in the mar
things attempted and things &C
complished that are written
indelibly in the history of the
nations. About the only interes,
that attaches to the birth of the
young Spanish prince is-the relief
it affords to know that he is here
and likely to stay unless the
measles or the whooping cough
carries him off before his tune

A WARNING.

An old friend of ours, who is
making a vigorous fight against
miscegenation. hands us the fol-
lowing warning, which we cheer
fully publish, as it meets our
views:
.'Shall the Star Spangled Banner forever trium-
phantly wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the
brave"
Shall its pure celestial white undiscolored for
ever remain,
And Saxon, Teuton, Celt and Caucasian their
purity OF race retain.
Shall its Stars rejecting the glory Of skies their
lustre retain
And its sunbeam bars wave on DER the distant
main,
Emblem of peace, meath alien skies and our
distant Isles Of the Sea,
Herald OF . self-governing people, who forever
will be free.
Then heed the dark rolling clouds, betokening
storm,
Mark well along the receding shores Of time
the wrecks in human form,
Heed the warning, miscegenous Keeling dere-
licts along the ways,
Hail Creator Pilot to guide our Ship of State to
brighter days.
Hear we not the miscegenous degenerate strife
in tropic chimes.
Whence the cause OF these unholy wars, since
immemorial times;
IT'S not Empire, Kingdom, Despot, does mis-
cegenous, moral degeneracy provoke
God forbid that our land Of peace and liberty
bear such q yoke.

txclssIvs SALARIES TO OFFICERS.

The press and the people are
expressing themselves freely on
the question of salaries of the diff
ferent officers. The consensus oil
opinion is that the Office of sheriff
and tax collector should be divid-
ed. 1t requires two men to run
the Office and they insist on max
ing two responsibilities. With
regard to the office of Clerk and
Recorder the same argument is
used. And a demand is made for
the reduction of the salary of Par
ish Treasures.
There is no Parish seat in the
State without a bank and there is
no bank in the State that would
not be willing to take the Parish
rreasurer's Office for a nominal
sum-evcn for nothing-and in
some cases they would be willing
to pay bonus for the deposits
The State of Louisiana gets a
considerable bonus for the State
deposits. and we are informed that
in some of the parishes interes: is
paid on the daily balances. That
being the case. we can seesho rea-
son why the Parish Treasures
should be paid = percentage on
the handling of parochial and
school funds in addition to salar-
les. making the amount paid from
SI7oo to $4,000 a year.
The proposition to curtail the
official salaries was before the last
General Assembly in this State
and Immediately the Capital City
was thronged with these officials.
who organized lobby that pre-
vented any action being taken for
reducing salaries. One of the
pledges that should be exacted
from candidates for the Senate
and House OF Representatives
should be that these reductions
shall be made.
We are in favor of fair and
remunerative salaries. II is known
that there are State officers whose
salaries are too small. The attor-
ney General. State Treasurer,
Superintendent of Public Educa-
ton and the Auditor of Public
Accounts should be paid at least
5000 a year. but we have some
shcriffs whose salaries and fees
amount 10 SIS, 900 or more arnu-
ally. which is entirely too much.
a general equalization ofsalaries,
therefore, should be an issue in
the next campaign, and the next
General Assembly should look
into the matter and make then,
equitable. just and reasonable.

pA1RoxIzIHc HOME INDUSTRY.

Everybody admits the business
of patronizing home enterprises
and the majority of us know that
it is the only way to build up our
town and parish.
AT this very time almost every
thing needed by the average
family can be ordered from 4 cat
alogue house at a seemingly
cheaper price than the local
merchants charge, but when trans
portation charges are counted,
and many times inferior goods TO
be considered, the buyer can do
as we'll by patronizing the home
merchant.
But all this newspaper talk tor
support of home enterprise seems
to be a one-sided affair in some
| instances. Ii it is good for one it
| is good for all, and the Natchi-
toches Times makes this fact
clear in1he following article:
1--WE notice several of the LOU
isiana papers calling attention to
the habit merchants have of rum
ming down mail order houses and
those who patronize them and
then sending out of their towns
for their printing. There are
enough large orders of printing
sent out of Natchitoches to keep
a good printing Office busy the
year round. If the local printer
comes around to get the work
the business men shrug their
shoulders and intimate that the
local man cannot meet prices or
do as good work as The outsider.
Certainly not. When they give
an order to out of town concerns
they order three, five or ten
thousand letter, note or bill heads
and get a closer figure. But with
the local man they are too all
fired stingy to order more than
one thousand for fear he will
make little money on the job.
Add to this the natural disposition
to criticize the local paper and
you have a fair idea of why large
and useful newspapers and print
ing Offices do not grow.
IF the merchants. bankers and
others in Natchitoches were as
particular about sending their
orders to one of the local printing
Offices as they are tn see that our
young men order suits and wear
ing apparel and other goods from
them instead of sending out of
town, there would be encourage
ment to run a good 1--we paper or
two here.

the advertiser, the town and the
paper. Now let the people gen.
orally in the parish make up their
minds that they will not send out
any orders for printing, that they
will advertise IN the home papers,
aud subscribe for and read them,
and it will do this country more
good than Is dreamt of by the
average man.

reason for us to do that than
there is for you TO patronize US?

be at once stamped as unpatri-
otto"
