The Criminal Court Grand Jury, which has just made its final report aud retired from service, has been connected with the most eventful period of the criminal history of New Orleans, one of the jury's reports having become a State paper in an important international controversy.

We are more however, with the local than with the international relations of the grand inquest. It has been engaged in the examination of charges of official corruption around the court, and we regret to see that the result has been a failure to fix the guilt and to establish specific accusations where corrupt practices are declared to exist among officials who hold important trusts. quote briefly from the deliverances of the inquisitors: Tee special report; under date of 5th was necessarily far reaching in its scope. Points were dealt with which we have been called on to look further into, amon whioh is the reference to tlie lrrecalar proceeding in and about the court building. We have very carefully investigated this matter ana we regret to say without satisfactory results.

The facts are clear that parties were arrested ia the oSoe of O'Malley A Adams, and by request the arrests were reported to have occurred on thepublie streets. The lint of tales jurors was ordered not to be delivered to anyone until Monday Feb. 23, at 9 o'clock. Notwithstanding which, on Sunday. Feb.

We have been unable to ascertain how It reached there, and for the good reputation of their offices the Criminal Sheriff and Clerk of the Court should trace out and establish who is responsible for sachaots. We are fully convinced that there are some good men among the employes and they should assist tnelr prinsipals In purging the court of the unwortby. The general charges made in the above, while they accuse no particular person, virtually accuse all.

The Sheriff and Clerk' owe it to themselves, as well as to the public service, to discharge from their official employment every man who has been betraying the interests of justice or has been in league with criminals. The Grand Jury has put the burden upon the Sheriff and Clerk. THE BIG COTTON CEOP AND THE FARMERS. One of the most pronounced changes, in connection with the farmers' agitation is the apparent abandonment of the agitation against selling for future delivery. At one time the 'agitation among the farmers was so great in favor of tho passage by Congress of a law imposing such taxes upon transactions in farm products for future delivery as would annihilate that sort of trading, that it was feared that such a law would actually be passed by the last Congress.

The 'argument most frequently used in favor of the passage of the measure was that the system' of trading in futures depressed the price of farm products, and the condition of wheat and corn was pointed to as exemplifying the truth of the claim. The law failed to pass, however; bul nevertheless we have seen that during the past season both wheat and corn have sold for materially higher figures, while cotton, which last year brought high prices, has declined heavily. Neither of these occurrences can "be traced to any connection with "futures, hence the disappearance of the anti-option mania among the farmers. The advance in wheat was unquestion ably due to legitimate causes of supply and demand, the shortage in foreign crops creating a correspondingly greater demand for American wheat. In the ease of corn, the great improve ment was due to a shortage in the home crop.

No one need be told that the decline in cotton was caused by the marketing of a phenomenal crop, which so far exceeded the consuming capacity of the world that continual shadings in prices alone sufficed to move it. In spite of low prices and the increased consumption due to that fact, an enormous surplus will have to be carried over into the next crop. While destroying the anti-option agitation, the heavy crop has brought into greater prominence the notorious sub-treasury scheme. To the masses of the farmeraithis phenomenal the heavy drop in prices which has resulted from its sale, erm a strong argument in favor of the sub-treasury plan, but, at the same, time, the immense surplus that remains to be car ried over into the next crpp, in spite of the low prices, shows what an immense sum of money the Government would require to have loaned to farmers to hold back the crop until it could have been sold at high prices, as well as the immense weight of cotton that would have come into the hands of tho Gov ernment as collateral against such loans. These facts help to illustrate how im practicable a measure the sub-treasury scheme is, and it is on that ground the Picayune opposes it, while in full sym pathy with all reasonable and equitable projects for the betterment of the agri cultural classes, which we are ready to admit have not always hitherto enjoyed a proper share of the profits arising from their labors.

THE POPE'S RECENT ENCYCLICAL. Ever since the appearance of the full text of the recent papal encyclical let ter on the great social qnestions of the day, and more particularly on the relative rights of the State, the capitalists and. the workingmen, the leading pa pers, both in this country and Europe, have been engaged in reviewing it There is 'of course, a very natural dis position shown to pass over in silence, as beyond the 'proper domain of the secular press, the portions of the ency clical that may be considered to in volve purely religions questions, but the comments upon those portions re lating to the relative position of the state toward capital and labor are freely commented upon, and the great bulk of the comments unquestionably point to a general approval of the posi tion assumed by the Pope upon the social problems now commanding such wide attention. The fact that the encyclical distinctly condemns the propaganda of the socialists is generally regarded as a most important matter, as it clearly defines the position of the Catholio church in the great social struggle that is agitat-J ing Hiiirope ana the world at large. The Pope says: "The divine law rejects the socialist solution of the social problem, which would abolish private property, substituting a collective and common As to the social rights of working-men, the encyclical elaims that the "proletariat" has a right to the same protection from the State that is accorded to capitalists, the werkingman beiug as much a citizen as -the master.

This general equality of rights in the State the Tope hastens to explain does riea'JL olute equality in all La ll3, is a chimera, as social hierarchies must exiBt as they are based on natural principles. The letter claims that workingmen are entitled to days of rest and to such a regulation of the hours of labor as will prevent overtaxing the strength of laborers. "Everybody's physical forces are limited," says the Pope, and humanity forbids that they should be exceeded. Consequently, expedience is shown in a certain limitation of working hours." He also insists that the workingman is entitled to at least sufficient wages to provide the necessaries of life for himself and family. He also maintains that masters should strictly adhere to their agreements with employes, and that the latter, on their part are equally bound to respect tne contracts they enter into with the masters.

With respect to the State's duties to wards the workingman, the encyclical elaims that every effort should be made to lighten the burdens of the masses and to, create general prosperity. It should also endeavor to favor "a multiplicity of as the best means to prevent dangerous clashing between conditions of extreme poverty and riches. The State should, it is claimed, avoid as much as possible all interference with individual rights, while exerting every effort to safeguard public morals and the general welfare. It Bhould also see that all covenants relating to work should be scrupulously observed, and is bound to prevent violence and protect all parties in the full enjoyment of their respective rights and privileges. The Pope claims that the State ought to protect workingmen from becoming the prey of speculators and usurers who are seeking to abuse their weakness in order to secure excessive and dishonest profits.

The encyclical strongly favors work- ingmen's societies for mutual protection and benefit, as well as associations for the assistance of the poor, insurance against accidents and the protection of the young. It also favors every plan calculated to draw capital and labor together. On that point Leo Xin says "A capital error is to believe that the ricft ana the proletariat are condemned by nature to battle and duel without end. The one has need of the other. Capital is powerless without work and work is powerless witaout oapitai.

me proletariat cannot and ouht not to injure either capital or But in order to obtain respect for their right, they must abstain from violence. Teey ought not to hare reoourse tm sedition, nor listen to the chimerical promises of asritators. a the other hand, masters ought to respect the Individuality aud dUrnlW of the man and Christian in work men, and not abuse them inhumanely in tneir wen, nor exploit tnem oeyona tneir forens. lot masters retnemfcer that' the divine and the human law forbids sthein to draw profits from the misery of the poor." Although the encyclical actually con tains little really new upon tho great social problem, it is a very able paper upon that subject, and is particularly valuable as demonstrating the position of the church with respect to the labor problem. It also aligns the forces of religion against the socialistic and an archistic propaganda, which is the great underlying danger of the social question.

THE MAYOR AND i THE ORDER FCXD. LAW AKD We publish elsewhere a statement by Colonel Schaumburg. secretary to the Mayor, concerning the report of an interview liad. with him, and published in Friday's Picayune, on the subject of the fund voted by the City Council in connection with the investigation of the Hennessy murder. We wholly disclaim any desire or in tention to misrepresent.

Mr. Schaumburg in the matter, and if there was any defect or misstatement in the Picayune's report, it was not intentional. The report was made by a young man who is entirely honest and trustworthy, but it was not a shorthand report and not claiming to give the exact words of the speaker, but only his meaning, he may easily, without intention, have misconstrued remarks in conversation. We fully accept Mr. Schaumburg' statements as to the disposition of the fund, and renew our expression of con fidence heretofore made on the subject in the honesty and probity of the Mayor in the' premises.

NO LAW TO FUNISH OFFICIAL EUPTION? COR- The Grand Jury has echoed the charges of corruption among members of the Board of Health in the matter of the Slaughter-house job. It declares that there have been in the premises many acts by officials, plainly in violation of public policy and morality, but has found no indictment for judicial examination. i "The Grand Jnry is; informed by "eminent legal authority that there is no law to punish by members of the Board of Health, and has remitted the entire matter to the Gov ernor, as it did to the Clerk and Sheriff in the matter of the court officers. If it shall turn out that there is no law in Louisiana to pnnish such grave offenses. then the State's Criminal Code must be defective indeed.

We shall be curious to see what will be the next step in the Slaughter-house case. The Carnival of x8ga. We note from St Louis papers that a sum exceeding $50,000 was raised in a fortnight to defray the expense of the fall celebration in that city, and in this oonneotion we are re minded that the time Is opportune to turn our attention to the carnival of 1802 in the Crescent City, and invite our citizens to come forward In a spirit of liberality and support the Bex organization, whioh gives to New Orleans Its world-wide fame in carnival displays. The Bex organization Is a great attraction of onr carnival; its efforts and success bring to our city the thousands of strangers who leave many thousands of dollars to our people, and its patriotlo action la entertaining the visitors and providing for their pleasure, besides producing the grand pageants of Monday and Tuesday of the carnival, requires the assistance of our people to, meet the strain upon their Individual resources. So far was this the fact during the carnival of 1891 that the Bex organization was faced with a deficit at the close of the season.

We appeal to our citizens to assist the Bex organization In their grand undertaking, and make them feel that appreciation of a solid character will second their work for the magnificent pageants now in preparation tor the car nival of 189X: A Landship. Mr. IH. Letnery, of Oakland, CaL, has constructed a model of a landahip. The affair is to be built of aluminum, and will therefore be very light and at the same time very strong.

It will be a combination of a steam road watron and a boat, and will cost to equip It fully about $150,000. With this wonderful' vehicle boat Mr. Lemery preposes to organize an armed party and explore Africa thoroughly. His landshlp will he able to make about twenty miles a day. It will run aeross the open country, climb and descend mountains, s'Wim lakes and rivers.

A Steam arriage. A steam phaeton, propelled by the fnex- inosible boiler of M.

The engine is of four horse power, and. wlta seven persons on board, can run the vehicle at a speed of fifteen miles an beur. The phaeton can be started in twenty minutes, and the supply of the boiler and furnace is effected automatically.

The starting, stopping, slowing and steering are all managed front the front seat by proper handles within reach. Saved Three Lives. Miss Mary Shilton, of Lincoln county. W. was boating with some friends.

The boat was caught in a whirlpool and capsized. Miss Bhilton was the only one of the party of four who could swim. She seized a young man struggling in the water and wam to shore with him. She returned and resonea her girl companion as she was sinking the third time and took her to theshore. The second man clung to the boat and was resoued by Miss 8hilton a few minutes later.

The young lady who saved the three lives is the daughter of a prominent farmer and politician, and is herself an accomplished schoolmistress. St. Francis Church. Since his last report Mr. L.

Mow I have no deaire to hold the reader in suspense while I slowly work up to the douib of my experience; it is safe to gnasa that, instead of being all alone in my glory I was actually surrounded by exactly five wielders of the quill. One was a Washington journalist with a voluminous fiction MS. in his valise, while his vis-a-vis at the table hailed from Cairo, 111., and wrote poetry by the bolt, warranted a yard wide and fast colors.

Whenever you see that a man is mentioned in the newspapers on account of the big wen on his neck, you may be sure that he is firepariug to write something all roads end to literature.
