Upon looking at the back OF the check

to me with shake of his head, saying,
No sabe. On ascertaining that he
/ could not write, L wrote on the back
Jose Garcia, his mark, and had him
make his mark with a pen as his sig

for the total amount of coin and

con or about December s Antoine
Lopez informed me that he had receiv-
ed a check from a Portuguese society
belonging to Joe Garcia, and that he
thought some mistake had been made
as he had spoken to Garcia about it
and Garcia had stated that he had
already received and cashed his society
check, he evidently thinking that the
check for $2S.70 was from the Port,
uguese society.
"Upon receiving this information !
asked Lopez if he knew where / could
locate him. He replied that he did
Therefore, / Immediately sent Lopez
in quest of Garcia, instructing him
(Lopez) to bring Garcia to the Office
Some time after (not more than an
hour) Lopez returned with Garcia to

Garcia, Lopez acting as interpreter
that owing to the mistake he would
have to return the $2S7O and l, as

LoUIsIANA's RACE LAWS.

CONSERVATION reigns in Louisiana ow-
ing to the Supreme Court having sus-
tanned Judge Chretien's decision that
the law which forbids alliance be-
tween whites and negroes refers only
to persons of pure and unadulterated
negro blood, and not mulattoes, quad
rooms, critics and others of mixed white
and black bloods. The effect of this
decision will be to turn loose all persons
who have been indicted of violating
these laws. THE law has been generally
approved by both whites and negroes,
and under it the negroes have enjoy
ed more privileges than heretofore.
Under it segregation has been possible,
and it is felt that segregation is for the
benefit of both races. One good effect
of the statute has been to demonstrate
that the talk about miscengenation has
been mote baseless than anyone be-
Legislature to blame for not having
done what the Legislatures of other
States have done in defining the word
negro" In most of the other States
the dividing line has been drawn at
about one-eighth or one-sixteenth of
negro blood. That is, in some States, an
octoroon was a negro, but a child of an
octoreon by a white man, who would
have One-sixteenth of negro blood,
would be pronounced white. The law
makers have not been in accord with
the lexicographers, who invariably de-
fine the word negro to mean anyone
that has any negro blood in him. 1p
Louisiana the old Creole laws made
distinction between the negro and the
'homme de couleur." The three JUS
tices of the Supreme Court who sup
ported the decision were all Creoles
and the CreOles have always lived with
the negroes in perfect friendliness,
while the two dissenting Judges are OF
straight Anglo-Saxon descent, and are
not supposed to regard the colOred man
with the same charity and sympathy
that the Creoles do The Legislature
will convene in a few days. and it is
expected that the law viii be amended
so as to meet the objections of the Su-
preme Court.

Revolution Survivors.

Hood Post. of Medina, n. Y, has
adopted a preamble and resolutions set
ting forth that whereas a bill was Of
fered in the New York Legislature
three years ago to build a monument
to Daniel Frederick Brakeman as the
last survivor of the Revolution, but
was rejected because it was discovered
that he had never served as represented
in any New York command: that John
Gray, of Ohio, who died II hours be-
fore Brakeman was found to have an
equally defective record: that Samuel
Downing of the I'd n. H, who died in
1867, cannot be found serving at York
town in 1871; but it has been found
that Lemuel Cook, of Clarendon, N. L,
served in WashingtonS Army at York
town, and held a discharge signed by
Washington when ne died at the age
of 107 years, and was buried with Ma
sonic honors in 1866. He holds the
cleanest record of all as the last sur
vivor of the Revolution from the active
army in the field. Therefore, Hood
Post requests the Pension Bureau to
correct its printed statement as to
Daniel Frederick Bakeman and others
and give the honor to whom it is due.
to wit: Lemuel Cook.

u AVER AT ST. CLIQUE.

Altho the people in Florida drink
the water of the lakes and the shallow
wells with entire safety and claim ii
is entirely healthful, the Seminole Land
& Investment Company felt that this
was untrustworthy for st. Cloud, and
one of the Cempany's first moves was
to begin decentralization of waterworks.
Delays occurred IN getting the neces-
sary machnery, but this is now on the
ground and ready for operation, and
the boring of an artesian we'll has been
going on for some time. The well be-
gan with 12r,inches diameter, which has
now been 'EenucedJ TO eight inches, and
it has reached d depth of 400 feet.
Some 60 feet down p belt of quicksand
was struck, which made very hard
boring forIabout 49Ifeet. One day only
an inch of progress was made. After
this stratum, of sand was passed a most
Interesting stratumG of what was ap
parently an 'anciefft sbed of the sea was
reached. This, abaunds in FOSSIL shells
and palaezoie forms fof life. Every day
the tools bring up very interesting
specimens of ancient life, which are
collected and examined with great in
terest by the people of st. Cloud. 1t
is expected that a fine flow of artesian
water will soon be struck, which will
be sufficient for all the needs of the
town. AS rule, the artesian water
does not rise more than 90 feet above
the level of the sea, and as st. Cloud
is something over 10 feet above sea
level. the water will come to within
about 10 feet of the surface. When it
is reached. it will be as fine water as
there is in the world.

VETO OF THE pIGcEs BILL.

Altho Gov Crothers. of Maryland,
was one of the instigators of the
vicious Digges bill to nullify the 18th
Amendment and disfranchise the ne
groes. he saw a light after the bill
actually passed. He was overwhelmed
with protests against his signing the
bill. Bankers and merchants associa-
tions were among those who united in
these protests, and very large portion
of the Democracy outside of the con-
trolling ring also appeared in opposi-
.tion. Mayor Mahool and most of the
city officials of Baltimore were quite
earnest in their opposition. At first the
Governor was disposed TO ease himself
down by having a test case made up
and submitted TO the court. but it was
found that this would not satisfy the
opponents, and at last the Governor
felt constrained to take the decisive
step of actually vetoing the bill. Then
he was heartily congratulated for the
bravery and independence he display
ed in vetoing purely party measure.
Not the least of the reasons which
Impressed the Governor were the rep
resentations from Democrats from all
over the country that the Maryland
Democrats were putting a club in the
hands of the Republican Party, with
which to maui them in the coming
campaign.

HONOR TO GENERALS.

The movement, in which Gen. T. S.
Peck is one of the leaders, to erect tab
lets to Gems. William Wells and George

Gov. Proutv has promised that the tab
lets will be in place before the OPEN
ing of thel next Legislature. This will
be a high qualification to the Vermont
veterans, of whom those Generals were
such good representatives, and who fol-
lowed their lead with so much enthu-
siasm and valor: Maj.-Gen. William
Division, Sheridan's Cavalry Corps of
the Army of the Potomac and was the
last commander Of that Cavalry Corps.
The General entered the service as a
private, rose to be- Colonel of the 1st
VT. Cav. and then was commissioned
Brigadier- General, and brevetted a

Stannard entered the service as a Lieu

which did such crushing work on the
flank of Pickett's column on the after
noon OF July 8. 1863. He also led the
First Division of the Eighteenth Corps

on the north side of the James River.
He captured the fort and the next day,

1st w. Va. Cav.

Editor National Tribune: This is the
third time / have written to you ask
ing for a brief history of the 1st w.
Va. Cav. I know our regiment cap
tured more battle flags than any other
in the service. Cos E. c. and L were
not with the regiment until after the
second battle of Bull Run. Co. A
was never with the regiment until after
Lee surrendered. I believe that if the
regiment was credited with all the en-
gagements its companies were in, it
would have fully as many as any other
in the service. We all want John Nc
Elrey for Commander-in-Ch -Chief.-Jo-
seph L. Buckley, 1st w. Va Cav, Park
ersburg. W. Va.
The 1st w. Va. Cav. was organized at
Wheeling. Clarksburg and Morgantown
from July 10 to Nov. 25. 1851, and was
mustered out July 8, 1865. The first
Colonel was Henry Anisunsel, who re-
signed, and was succeeded by Col. H.
P. Richmond, who also resigned. Col.
Henry Capehart was in command of
the regiment when it was mustered out,
and was brevetted a Brigadier-Generat.
The regiment or some portions of lit
was constantly engaged from the time
of its formation until the close of the
war.-Editor National Tribune.

Florida vegetables have been holding
the markets for some time, with good
prices. but the Charleston and more
Northern truckers are now coming in
with their products. Florida squashes
range from s1.25 to $3.50 crate; salad
brings from so cents to 50 a basket;
beets have been reduced to from 81. so to
SO by the arrival of the new crop from
North Carolina, Virginia and South
Carolina; Florida new potatoes range
from IS to $3.50; eggplants are in fair
demand at from 81 to $3.50 per crate;
Florida tomatoes range from 81 to 50;
cucumbers from SO TO $3.50, but the
price of Strawberries has fallen to from
10 to 15 cents per quart, on account
of the competition Of the more North
ern truckers. Probably a great deal
of this competition has since been de-
stroyed by the storm which ragged over

physician has tried with success The
plaster is made of mustard and brown
buckwheat flour mixed with honey or
glycerine and spread on a piece of
oilcloth. which is attached to the soles
of the feet by sticking plaster. Before
applying the feet are soaked in hot
water to open the pores. Instead of
buckwheat flour common flour may be
used. 1t is necessary to wear socks so
as to hold the plasters on during the

In. spite Of the urgings of William
Jennings Bryan, the Democratic MEM
bers of the Legislature of Nebraska
have refused to vote for the initiative
and referendum. This is one of the
misft ideas that imperfectiy-educ
agitators are trying to import from Eu-
rope. There may be some reason for
the initiative and referendum in Eu-
rope, where the people are denied full
and free expression in their ParIia-
ments, but there can be none in this
country. Any man who wants to have
a bill introduced in the Common Coun-
Gil. the Legislature or Congress can do
so by simply drawing up his bill and
sending it to his Representative. In
the same way, there is the most COM
plete referendum periodically when the
Representatives. come up for re-elec-
ton. There is a referendum even bfore
this, because any obnoxious law Is can
vassed vigorously and the public have
many ways of making themselves felt,
so as to secure its repeal or modifica-
ton. Initiative and referendum is
wholly unnecessary, and, therefore, an
undesirable complication of our politi-
cal system.

After year of stress and storm, the
British Parliament has at last passed
the Budget. So violent was the agita-
ton at one time that it threatened a
severe revolution, and the extinction
of the House of Lords was one of the
possible outcomes. The Liberal Party
made direct issue of either limiting,
reforming or altogether abGiishing the
House of Lords, and there was a sharp
controversy as TO whether the uni
camerai or bicameral Parliament-that
is. one or two Houses-would be best
The Liberals, however, did not manage
as shrewdiy as their competitors, and
probably also they were baffled by the
infallible conservatism of the people
The Conservatives dragged in their re-
quests of irst-class importance. such
as tariff reform and a stronger navy,
and the result has been a drawn hattie
with neither side able to claim a vic
toy.

believe that his mantle would fall on
someone else equally jealous and effec-
life and success of the Republican Party

of the peoples confidence. His meth
cd was superior to all the machine
methods that could be introduced, and
he was going ahead relentlessly and
fearlessly in purging the party of the
members who are debasing it for their
own corrupt purposes. These men have
fought every step of his reform policy,
but with the people behind him, he
