WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1893. ORDER AT ANT COST.

The Picayune denounced the lynching in Jefferson parish before any of the papers that have since opened upon the outrage had heard of it. The killing by the populace in the lower end of Jefferson, on Saturday night, of three men who were known to be innocent of the murder of Judge Estopinal, but, because of their relationship to the murderer, were suspected of sympathy with and of a desire give him succor from his pursuers, was an act wholly inexcusable. It was murder, and nothing less. If the perpetrators could have pleaded excess of excitement and indignation on Saturday for a crime committed on Friday, there is no sort of justification for their continued fury, for in three days they have had time to cool down their fiery passions and to deliberate. Any further violation of the public peace, any further outrage upon the rights and lives of the people, any further maintenance of an armed domination over the people and the communities in which the State statutes and the authorized authorities should control, is a state of rebellion against the power and laws of Louisiana.

It is plain that the civil authorities of the lower portion of Jefferson parish are either powerless to restore order, or they are complaisant to the disorder. The Picayune, however, believes that they are overawed and pow less before the mob. If so, they ought to make the fact known to the Governor. It is the duty of the Sheriff to put down the violence and the violent, or make known his helplessness. But if the authorities of the disturbed parish are in sympathy with the disturbers, and are aiding and abetting in their rebellious acts, then such a state of affairs exists as to require the interposition of executive authority.

The Governor is a wise man; he knows the law; he is fully informed of his duties; he is thoroughly impressed with the responsibilities' that rest upon him. A considerable portion of Jefferson parish is under the control of a mob, and unless the local authorities shall at once gain control, Executive intervention will be necessary. As for the people of Jefferson parish, while the strongest terms are not too severe for the characterization of teir recent outrages, they are in reality no worse than any other lynchers, white caps, committees of safety or other organization that, under one pretense or another, do to death, without forms or process of law, the unfortunate people who incur their displeasure. There has been far too much popular justice in Louisiana. It has brought down denunciation and malediction enough on this State and its people, and if the best citizens of Louisiana do not wish to be buried in obloquy and condemnation by the world at large they will promptly put a stop to it.

The press and pulpit throughout the State must speak out and the people must act. There is a great deal of blame to be charged in high quarters and low. There has been an almost general failure by juries in criminal cases. There has been in not a few instances a most pernicious juggling with the juries in this city. Too frequently has the prosecution of criminals been weak and half hearted.

Certain laws have been purposely disregarded and too often violated by sworn officials, while offend ers have been shielded and helped to escape conviction. The accumulation of all this disorder crime, violation of official obligation and shirking of sworn duty has finally culminated in a regular rebellion against the laws in an adjoining parish to this city. Mere "Violence of denunciation and calling of hard names can do no good. The disorders in Jefferson are not the result of a sudden and extraordinary accession of criminal madness. They are the outgrowth of a long course of misdoing by private citizens and public officials.

The first thing to do is to put down the disorders by force. The next is for the to reform themselves and their officials. Let no guilty man escape from the highest to the lowest. Be not satisfied with a victim here and there. Let there be a general cleaning out of the evil wherever it exists.

THE NEXT WORLD'S FAIR. The Chicago Herald declares that any proposition to extend the term of the Columbian exposition beyond the 31st of October is absurd and should be abandoned as impracticable Suys that leading Chicago paper: "Should the term of the fair be prolonged the display inevitably would lose interest and the attendance would dwindle to nothing. The autumnal' frosts will blight the foliage of the flowers. Weather stains will soil the white walls of the buildings. The attractions will be veiled in rain and fogs.

Blizzards will shriek and howl along the deserted lagoons. The fair was planned, construoied and dedicated for a scene of summer beauty, brightness and fascination. It should not fade out like a comet receding on a wtntry horizon. It should go out in a blaze of glory, like the summer sun at its setting, leaving a trail of splendor in the sky." The Chicago fair is the grandest of all that have gone before it, and, considering the heavy pecuniary loss it must entail on those whose money went to furnish its grandeur, it is not probable that anything like it will be0) attempted in this country for some time to come. Nevertheless, St.

Louis, which has never had a world's fair, is burning with ambition to take a turn at the business. The St Louis Globe Democrat wants to celebrate the centennial of the purchase of Louisiana from France. That will come In 1003, just ten years away. This is an historic date which most nearly concerns the people of this State, and, if such a fair were held, Louisiana would have to take a prominent part in it. The Globe Democrat expresses the belief, and that the purchase of Louisiana In the administration of President Thomas Jefferson, in 1803, was one of the grandest and most important events in the entire history of the country.

Up to that time the national domain was restricted to the east side of the Mississippi, covering an extent of only about one third of the present limits of the Union, without counting Alaska. The vast region of the Trans Mississippi, twice as great as that on this aide, then lay under the Spanish and French flags. The United States was forced to share th navigation Ci JJia "Mississippi JUver wjth foreign powers; and. had no outlet to the Pateific Ocean. In the original thirteen States and the rest of thr territory gained from England In the war.

for independence there are 827,844 square miles; In the domain which Jefferson bought from Bonaparte" there are square miles. This' tract comprises all or nearly all, of the States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, ICansaj, Nebraska, South and North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and part of Colorado, with Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. In this region were more than 12,000,000 inhabitants in 1890, or four times as many as there were in the original thirteen States at the time of the revolution. In the Mexican war were subsequently added to the republic: Texas, the remainder of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, California, Nevada, Arizona. It is easy to see how hampered and contracted would have been the republic but for the Louisiana purchase.

This centennial is certainly worthy of celebration, and it will give St. Louis a chance. In the next decade St Louis will have gathered a population of near three quarters of a million people, while the Mississippi valley will have greatly increased in wealth and population and may be willing to embark in such an enterprise. If so, Louisiana could not let the occasion pass without taking part. Any way, the Globe Democrat'S heart is set on it.

It says: "The Louisiana acquisition centennial will be appropriately observed. There will be a world's fair like that which was held in Philadelphia in 187(5, and like the one which is now under way in Chicago, and it will take place in St. Louis. This is not only the largest city in the region purchased, but it is nearer the geographical center of the country than any other important town. The centennial is only ten years away, and four or five years hence the work of actual preparation for the affair will have to be begun.

But even in this short time the country will make great advances in population and wealth. The advances in the region comprised in Jefferson's great purchase will be particularly rapid and important. We must make the 1903 celebration worthy of the grand event which it is Intended to commemorate." i THE BRAZILIAN RETOLUTIOif. As the Picayune anticipated, the trouble in Brazil has rapidly extended from the capital of the country to the provinces, and the rebellion now bids fair to prove so formidable an uprising as to render it impossible for President Pelxoto to maintain himself. Owing the cutting off of telegraphic communication, the information from the scene of the disturbance is fragmentary and unsatisfactory, and it is thus impossible to form an entirely correct idea of the exact situation.

Even official information to our Government at Washington is scant, the authorities having, in fact, been without advices from the American Minister at Rio de Janeiro for three days. Enough is known, however, to show that the revo lutionlsts have so far been entirely successful, and have badly crippled the power of the existing Government. According to the reports so far received, the rebel fleet at Rio has secured possession of such vessels as the Government possessed, and has been thus enabled to increase the force of ships to thirty. All the forts in the harbor but one that commanding the entrance have either joined the rebels, assumed a position of neutrality, or been silenced. The town of Nictheroy has been captured, as well as the arsenals and Custom house of Rio.

President Peixoto has been compelled to leave the city, and has established himself beyond the capital, at a suburban town. Not satisfied with practical possession of the capital, the rebels have sent some of their ships to blockade Santos and the seaports south of Rio, with a view of shutting off the revenues of the Government, It now" appears that the fleet sent some time ago to suppress the rebellion in Rio Grande do Sul has deserted the Government standard, and other, vessels hitherto loyal have also joined the revolution. This puts practically the entire navy in the hands of Admiral Custodio de Mello, so that the blockade of the different Brazilian ports will not prove a very difficult matter, provided the foreign powers do not interfere. The spirited defense made by some of the forts at Rio, and the action of the Brazilian Congress in voting a loyal address to Peixoto, prove that the President is not altogether without friends. He apparently still has the bulk of the army with him, and he will, in all probability, retire into the interior and seek to rally to his standard a force sufficient to prevent for a time the rebels from penetrating beyond the seaboard, There is, therefore, no prospect of Ian immediate settlement of the revolution, although the ultimate success of the rebels seems certain.

Owing to the stoppage telegraphic communication, and the practical blockade of the port of Rio, trade has been entirely interrupted, and such interests in this country as are dependent upon traffic with Brazilian ports are naturally feeling the ill effects of the revolution. The coffee trade in particular has suffered, and as the country has been caught with an unusually light stock of the berry, prices for that widely consumed article have advanced at a tremendous rate. An early settlement of the trouble in Brazil Is," therefore, much desired by our business men. THE RICE CROP. The shortage in the rice crop of Louisiana now being marketed is so generally admitted to be very great that a half yield compared with last yeur is now accepted, practically without question, by the local rice trade.

This being the case, it is surprising to see a prominent rice firm of New York, that of Dan Talmage's Sons, intimating that a shortage in the Louisiana rice crop was still an open question. In a crop circular recently issued by this firm, and published in full in the Picayune yesterday morning, the following appears concerning the rice yield in this State: "The yield in the older and river parishes is turning out larger than anticipated in the early season, and the exceptionally fine out turn with, many in the southwest may prove to nearly, if not quite, counterbalance the further reported shrinkage in the yield of those who failed to guard againsfthe possible and actual lack of moisture, ice has proved a safe crop to those who took proper precautionary measures against the evil days of drought. In the main, weather conditions for harvesting have been excellent The total outcome, is a subject of 'much controversy, but It is hoped that, with recent sharp appreciation of values, the monetary result may exceed that realized on tha larger crop of last The Picayune believes that the firm isssuing this rice circular has made use of the best information at its command, but the deductions drawn therefrom are certainly widely at variance with the opinions of well informed rice men In the local market, and with the great bulk of advices received from the rice growing section. As we have already stated, the great majority of well informed rice men in this city do not look for a crop much, if any, over a million bags. The circular of Messrs.

Talmage ia likely to convey an impression that the crop will, under the most favorable circumstances, approach somewhat near to last year's figures. Such an impression is apt to persuade buyers in distant markets to expect much lower prices than the actual facts concerning the crop warrant. This would be most unfortunate, as it would have a tendency to deprive the planters of a chance to recoup themselves through good prices for the shortage in their yields. The receipts of rice in this market to date are less than half what they were up to this time last year. This of itself should serve to point to the extent of the shortage of the crop.

Prices lately have been very satisfactory, and there has been every inducement for planters to ship freely, and yet the daily arrivals have shown a constantly increasing shrinkage compared with last season. SUGAR AND RICE INTERESTS AT WASHINGTON. The sugar and rice interests of this State were given a hearing at Washington yesterday by the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives. The statements presented to the committtee and the discussions which ensued are given in full in our telegraphic columns, and it will be seen by a perusal of the arguments advanced that the representatives of the planters made a strong presentment of their case. A strong plea was made for the retention of the bounty clause of the McKinley bill, and it was held that the arrangement was in the nature of a contract between the planters and the Government, to last for fourteen years.

This arrangement the producers had accepted In good faith, and, relying upon its provisions, they had freely invested their money, invited outside capital and greatly developed their industry. To break the contract before the expiration of the fourteen years would be a breach Of faith on the part of the Government, and would do the domestic sugar producers great injustice. Facts and figures were also presented to show that the cane sugar industry of Louisiana had made great progress under the bounty system. The beet sugar producers also made a strong plea for the continuance of the bounty. They pointed out the great strides made the beet sugar industry in a few years, and claimed that, with proper encouragement from the Government, the country would soon be able to produce enough sugar to supply the entire domestic consumption.

The rice interests asked that the present tariff on rice be maintained, and that the distinction between clean and unclean rice be better defined. The rice representatives also pointed out the great advance the domestic rice industry ha made in the past few years, and its future prospects, if properly protected against cheap foreign rice. The delegation sent to Washington has made a strong plea for Louisiana's industries, and its members are entitled to warm praise for their efforts. A SHOCKING ITIL WITH NO REMEDY. It is seldom that a more startling and shocking event is chronicled than was the ferocious and bloody assault on Dr.

Harnan last night, at the Illinois Central Depot. A prominent citizen, accompanied by the ladies of his family, returning from a journey, alights from the train. In a moment, while surrounded by the other passengers, a man who has been lying in wait, and had premeditated the deed, springs upon the returned traveler and, in the sight of wife and friends, cuts his victim's throat. The satisfaction which the murdered man, his bereaved family and the startled community get is that the perpetrator of the bloody atrocity is insane and is not responsible for his acts. Last Saturday night a police officer was patrolling a street of this city on a tour of duty.

Suddenly, before any warning could be taken or resistance made, a savage negro rushes from an alley and brains the officer with an ax. The public gets the same satisfaction "Why, the man is crazy; everybody knows that!" But these are only two instances out of a long catalogue of 6ueh horrors. Many insane people are reputed to be dangerous, but they are allowed to go at large until they commit some horrible deed of bloodshed. Then they may be sent to an asylum for the insane if there be one that will accept the charge, and they may be detained there only so long as the physician in charge may choose to keep them. There ought to be some provision for the sure detention of the dangerous insane, while those who commit such, deeds of slaughter should be confined for life.

Insanity is a disease, not a crime, but the laws undertake to protect people from oilier dangerous diseases; why not from the insane? FOREST FIRES IN THE NORTHWEST. North Wisconsin Is peculiarly a lumber region. It is heavily timbered with forests of the white pine, the wood of which is extensively used in building all through the Northern States. These great pineries, furnish material for extensive industries, and probably there is no Northern State, unless it be Michigan, which has such Important lumbering interests as. has Whenever the pine covered regions uffen froio aTOnjjhVLykfck.

fxtenda into the autumn, the pine, needles on the ground become excessively dry, and a "fire once kindled among them quickly spreads through the forests, destroying the trees and all the settlements in reach. These forest fires are frightfully destructive of life, as well as and people and their domestic animals often fall victims. Wisconsin suffers periodically from these conflagrations, and for some days past fires have been burning in Lincoln, Marathon and Wood counties. It is estimated that already damage to the extent of more than has been done to the timber alone. Large and small settlements in the woods have been burnt and some how many is' not known, are reported to have lost their lives.

The smoke has been so dense on the northern lakes that several vessels have been wrecked. The fires were still burning at last accounts, and the people were praying for rain to stop its ravages. Fires frequently break out in the Southern pineries, but the spread is never so extensive, nor is the damage so great, ns is recorded of the forest fires of the Northwest AN ECHO FROM ME RAILROAD GRAB The most weighty objection urged against the petition filed in the Civil District Court a few days ugo, pruy iug thut the City Council be enjoined from making away with the franchises of the New Orleans City and Lake Railroad for an inadequate compensation, and without submitting the franchises to open and fair competition, was that the petition was signed by citizens who were, with but few exceptions, small taxpayers. If it has come to be the rule in this country that ouly causes brought by rich men are entitled to consideration at the hands of the courts, theft the objection urged above is valid, and the petitioners have nothing to expect. But there is no reason to believe that such an expression against small taxpayers has any weight in the courts, or In the community at large.

Citizens who are not rich and are only small taxpayers have the same rights under the law and in court as if they were millionaires, and any attempt to throw discredit upon a movement which is not engineered by rich men should be met by stern disapproval. It may be that the law requiring that public franchises for sale shall be offered to public competition relates to mere routine of forms, and not to facts. It may be that the City Council is invested with absolute power over the franchises of the people, and over the money of the taxpayers. If these shall prove to be facts judicially established, probably nobody will complam, but it will be truly a serious matter when it shall be declared that only rich taxpayers have any rights in court. An Ineffectual Exorcism.

Some "Free Methodists" have been holding a camp meeting at Sbullsburg, recently. It is a soct which, among other peculiar tenets, holds that no man can be a good disciple of Christ and possess any great amount of worldly goods. One of the ministers who attended the camp meeting. Rev. Mr.Jobnson, was arrayed in a handsome suit of clothes, and wore a gold ring and glittering shirt buttons, which made the other brethren think that he was not all that he ought to be, and two of the preachers even asserted that he must be possessed of a devil to be so regardless of his Ohrlstlaa duty as to dress like one of the unregenerate.

Accordingly they carried him into a tent to see what could be done for him, and adjured him to confess his sins and repent. He said that he was not conscious of any sins that needed repentance, and this confirmed them In the opinion that he was under the immediate control of the devil. So they threw him down, and one sac pn his head while the others prayed for the devil to be cast out This treatment was evidently ineffectual, as the captive, struggled and protested against it, so the praying preachei got up from his knees and endeavored to kick the devil out of the unhappy victim, while tbo congregation danced and sung hymns around him. Johnson would probably have been killed then and there, but that a party of the unregenerate, were In attendance, found out what was going on, rescued him from the ciuthas of his persecutors, and told the two exorcists that they might have one hour to make their disappearance from the community. Johnson was almost insensible when rescued, and it is beared that he has suffered some mortal Injury.

Hypnotized in an Omnibus. A few days since, as an omnibus inspector was checking up the 'busses at the station In Paris, he was surprised to And in one of them a girl apparently asleep. Attempting to awaken her, he found that her body was rigid and had hsr carried Into the station, where all attempts to arouse her were in vain. She was accordingly taken to the shop of a neighboring chemist, who at once said she was in an hypnotic trance, and "made the passes necessary to awaken her. On recovering consciousness she showed signs of fright, and exclaimed anxiously, "The man! Where is the man?" Soon, however, 6he became quiet and was then able to make the following statement: Her name was Maud Hugon, and she was employed as 'couturlere and interpreter at a large English house in the center of Paris, bue had taken the omnibus on leaving her work, and had noticed In the seat opposite to her a stout gentleman who stared fixedly at her.

She was unable to avoid his gaze, and after a few seconds fell asleep. She further stated that she had been previously followed by this gentleman, who is unknown to her, but be bad never before succeeded In catching her eye. She is determined, if he should ever take a seat opposite to her in an omnibus again, to give him Into custody before he can succeed in hypnotizing her. The Picayune Appreciated in Bossier Parish. The Louisiana Mentor (published at Plain Dealing, Bossier parish), in its issue of Sept 10, says: The daily Picayune of Sept 11 contains a unique write up of Bossier pariah by Louisiana's great statistician.

Mr. H. H. Hargrove, of Sheer port Its topography, climate, resources, natural and domestic, development and undevelopment its schools, churches and society are described irf a fair, unbiased manner. The reader of the article may feel assured that Justice has been done, that the truth has been told.

It is certain that the picture is not "overdrawn. If anything is It Is a reference to the possibilities of the parish in the near future under a system of diversified farming. Every fair minded citizen of Bossier will be satisfied with the write up and accept it as a fair and square newspaper deal with the various features prominent In our parisa. The Mentor, for its readers, and especially the neighborhood of Plain Dealing, extends especial thanks to Mr. Hargrova.

For the Brunswick Sufferers. The. following contribution has been received at the Picayune oflce: Sept 13u Their Business Was Murder. It Is reported that two women have been found, living; in separate villages of Kuttenburg, Bohemia, who made a regular trade of murdering children. Tbelr victims were littles ones that' their parents desired to Bet out of the way.

either because they were deformed, or because the parents did not want to be burdened with them. Many of the children were illegitimate. These women, it Is stated, contracted to dispose of the bodies effectual ty and guaranteed aecreay for stated sums of money. The price usually charged for the murder of a chUd was five florins. They seemed to have done a large trade, and felt so safe from detection that they kept records of the money received, from whom received, tb age and description of the child, and.

ben disposed of. By the help of these records, It is thought, a large number of people wfll be brought to the bar of Justice. More Prosperous Than Anticipated. The midwinter fair that the Callfornl ans are preparing for has brighter prospects opening before it that Its projectors anticipated, and already It nas been found necessary, through the deir.aud for space by exhibitors now at Chicago, to enlarge the plans of the mechanical and liberal arts building, the erection of which Is already begun. The managers of the project report a healthy financial condition of affairs, but have not yet got all the subscriptions that they expected from San Francisco by about S1O0.O00.

Albert 8.

WllUs, our new minister to Hawaii, has had no experience In diplomacy, but is said to possess the wisdom and discretion necessary for his duties at Honolulu. He is a Kentucklan by birth, breeding and education, and was born in Shelby county In 1843. He was In congress four terms and could have been there now If he had not declined a re nomination. He is a lawyer by profession. James Miller, the scapegrace son of Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, was released from the San Quentln, penitentiary last Saturday, on the expiration of his sentence for stage robbery.

Officers from Oregon were awaiting him, however, and he was taken back to the penitentiary In that state, whence he escaped several years' ago. The misdeeds of the young man have made his father a recluse. A Boston newspaper calls for the organization of a society for the suppression of people who have been to the world's fair. In the Interest of the three remaining great classes of the community those who have not yet been to the fair, but intend to go, those who have not been and are not going because they cannot go, and those who have not been and are not going because they do not want to go. It la frankly admitted that these three classes aggregated are In the minority.

The melancholy Intelligence has oeen received here that Judge Frederick Hooker died in Minneapolis on the 11th inst He was a young, handsome and brilliant man, only 48 years old, but had achieved eminence at the bar, and at the time of his demise was serving his second term on the district bench of Minneapolis. The judge's family are well acquainted In New Orleans, and his daughter, Miss Nora Hooker, has mads this city her winter home for several seasons past. Speaking of American travel in Europe this summer, a TariB letter to the New York Evening Post says: The absence of Americans Is attributed to the superior attractions of Chicago.
