The romantic ideas of hoodlum
are drawn from books describing high
waymen and his beau-ideal of romance
is life of stealing. His idea of home
is having the entree of den of infa-
my. and excelsior is reached when he
is the acknowledged attache of no.
torious woman. His arguments are
the knife, pistol and bludgeon, and
their logic is very dangerous. Firmly
impressed with these ideas, a boy a
few days ago stole quite sum of
money. He spent part of it in riotous
living and, with the remainder, was
going, with companion. to join Cha
vez, who, he, says, has agents in this
city. His crime was discovered, he
acknowledged the deed, made restitu-
ton, and it is hoped will lead a bet
ter life. Such an incident as
this shows that parents must
watch carefully and see that their sons
do not get their education on the
streets. The police can aid them in
the work. Minors must not be al
lowed to loaf during the day; night
mobs must be dispersed, and when
these boys frequent saloons, gambling
houses aud dens of iniquity they must
invariably be arrested. We have an
active City Marshal, and we believe he
will gladly try to end the reign Of
hOodlumism in Los Angeles.

The sickness-especialiy among the children-ofou town-during the past week or two has proved fata, in u number of cases, and our graveyard shows the fresh, new mounds which mark the last resting place of all that is mortal of quite a number of our towns peoples children.

 During this late season.of sick ness, it has been our unpleasant task to give ear to the complaint, on several occasions, of poor, needy, laboring men, whose fami- lies depend for their daily bread upon their labor, that they have actually had to stint their little ones of bread and meat, on ac- count of losing so much time at the graveyard, preparing graves. We know, too, that they do not complain without cause. We know of poor men who earn the bread for their families by the sweat of their brow, who lost as much as three days last week at this mournful work of charity.

 This is a grievous complaint and we trust for humanity's sake that our city authorities will not be deaf to our appeal to look into the matter Let us, if we do nothing else, see that rcproach comes not to us on this score. We should have a city sexton; our city cemetery should be our nearest object of care, and no one should have grief added to their sorrow by finding It nara to get the remains of their departed friends decently and promptly inferred.

 We hope never to have our sense of duty to prompt us to bring this matter before our town authorities again.

Matters in and around the State House
are daily improving. One Of the best evil
dences Of this fact is that it is no longer
necessary to keep q strong guard there TO
prevent persons unlawtully disposed from
entering. The turbulent disposition that
manifested itself all over the city, and
particularly in and around the State House,
on the trst day of the meeting OF the
present Legislature. has entirely sub
sided. Then it became necessary to
have lawful force in and about the
building where the General Assembly
met in order to prevent unlawful force
from doing violence to those politically
opposed to them. IL was known that fre-
4uent threats against the lives of RepuD.
iicans had been made: that in fact the
Democrats had repeatedly announced,
through the press and otherwise, that they
intended to seat just such members as they
believed elected. and that they would do
this as they had kept voters from the polls
by violence if necessary. Well, ve
must give the Democrats the credit of
having kept their word to u very Sc
rious degree on the first day Of the
meeting of the House. They did violently
take possession of it, seat such members as
they wanted, and held it by force until .
superior force was brought to bear upon
them. Then, and not till then, did the
Democrats show any disposition to 'go
back" on their word. Blu: when they were
assured that force would be used against
those who had arrayed themselves against
the law. they had not only the good sense.
but sufficient regard for their own safety.
to desist from their course of violence.


Since the first day of the meeting Of the
Legislature matters have, as already stated,
been in reality growing g daily more peaceful,
until it has become SO quiet that it is no longer
necessary to keep . guard to watch who
goes III. The entrance to tho State House
has also been improved, 90 that visitors
have more than one way Of entering.

sons visited the State House. and among

against free schools in the name OF "the
people"


No one can object to reform, and the
shotgun journalist is strong advocate of
reform measures. He will not submit to
the cutting down of the fat fees of the
sheriffs-such thing has never been
thought of by the Democratic reformers
in this parish-but he gives out that if
the office of Superintendent of Education
is to continue in Lauderdale county the
superin tendent must work for one hun
dred dollars per year. Too much money
is wasted on the education of children,
and too little is left for the purchase of
shotguns, ammunition and whisky, and
such other luxuries as are craved by "the
people" The Meridian man is re-
former, and the first blow of his AK is
laid at the roots Of that monster evil, the
free school system imported by the YAM
KEGS, and kept up to the great detriment
OF the Demo cratic party in Mississippi.


The whipping post was part and parcel
OF the peculiar institution Of slavery. 1t
is in the nature Of things that the man
who p roposes to abolish schools should
also advocate the return to that barbarism.
Ignorance and brutality go hand in hand.
There are advocates of the whipping post
in North Carolina, in Alabama and Texas
1t is an instrument calculated to degrade
the colored men and women who are to
be whipped, and it certainly makes beasts
of the men who do the whipping.


The idea of raising the banner OF repu-
diation is also not new thought in Dem
ocratic ranks. Able leaders in that short
sighted party have openly declared for
repud istion of the war debt for the pur-
pose Of degrading our nation among ma
tions. Initiation was calculated to lead to
such result. The dishonest man in debt
is to be the sole judge of what he shall
pay. Law and honor 60 for nothing in
the Democratic balance. The banner of
repudiation flies from the Mercury staff,
and the editor boasts that he will
not pay his debts, that he will
establish the whipping posts of slavery,
and that he will abolish such monster evils
as free schools. 1t is we'll, perhaps, that
the Democratic intention was so clearly
stated Immediately after the election.
Northern men desiring to come South.
having capital to invest and children to
educate, will know how to act. Emf
grants will not be misled. Garry out the
Democratic programme as laid down by
the brilliant editor of the Mercury and his
shotgun associates, and Christianity, hu-
manity, intelligence, honesty and common
decency will give Mississippia a wide berth
for many years to come.

of France and Spain. The government
of the United States adjudicated all the
land titles in Louisiana at the date Of her
acquisition, and confirmed all found valid
by issuing patents. There are many per-
sons in New Orleans familiar with the
formality of the public land grants from
entry to patent. Has any one ever seen
any federal patent which contained con-
dition that the land. granted should be
kept in 'tillable" or other condition?


Some time about 1850 Congress released
and conveyed to the riparian States GER
tain lands subject to overflow. This
grant amounted to millions Of acres. 1t
was gratuitous grant. These lands are
still the property OF the grantee States.
Can it be contended that the federal gov
ernment is under obligations, after having
given away these lands. to protect the
occupants, to see that the lands were
tillable and capable of being occupied?
If SO, it can be shown by the patent. 1t
has even been disputed by the city of
New Orleans and the hill parishes that
they are not bound to pay quota to pro-
tect the lands of the alluvial proprietors
of Louisiana.


Should q representative OF the levee in
terest base demand upon such reasoning
as that TO which we have referred? If he
should support it by denouncing the
drunken rabble and the stupid sot, and
the peripatetic vagabonds who are said to
head and constitute the Republican party,
it would be perfectly consistent with the
political conduct of the Democratic or
gans, but it would neither tend to con-
vince, nor we imagine to alarm, the ad-
ministration or the party to which such
epithets have been applied or such argu-
ments addressed.


We say this in the interest of success
ful application. Politically we can have
no objection to the use of scurrility or dis
play of ignorance in our antag onists and
antipodes. Such shameful epithets dis
gust those who respect the amenities of
life. They alarm those who have some
thing at stake in the application. Such
persons know that slang and slander ap-
piled to these from whom we ask anything
is neither advantageous nor respectful.
