ALL .1301: “L0 1'11. "
The newspaper reader, most newspa-
per workers, and especially the “ex--
change” editor, realize more and more.
as the years go by, just how much vio-
lence is done, the world over, profess-
edly in the name of the noblest senti-
ment humanity can feel. Not a day
passes but one reads of some shocking
crime, murder or something akin, gen-
erally with “a woman in the case. ”
The well balanced mind is divided
between amusement and disgust at the
perusal of these things. If a young
woman, after a longer 01' shorter study
of a man’s character, concludes that
she does not want to link her fate with
his, and possibly thinks that she
does wish to marry some one
else, N 0. I promptly whips
outa pistol and puts a bullet in the
brain of the presumptuous woman, and
possibly another in the supposedly
same organ in his own anatomy.
Perhaps a girl lacks discernment and
marries an ill- temper ed man: The
griddle cakes are brought on too cold
some mornings to suit her 101 d and
master, and the calving knife severs
the jugular vein without more ado.
A few days ago a young woman
awoke on what was to have been her
wedding morn. The preparations were
complete, and she received parting
calls from a few Old friends at her home
before the hour for the ceremony.
Her employer, (for the young woman
had been bright and self-supporting,)
was among the callers, and, in the
presence of the bridegroom-elect,
stooped at parting and gave her a fath-
erly kiss. Then away went the afore-
said bridegroom-elect to parts un-
known, leaving the girl who was to
have honored him with her l1and,cover-
ed with humiliation.
And there are people who think the
motive for such mad acts is love !
There are newspapers bristling with
captions to that effect. and novelists
who enlarge upon the false idea to the
intense delight of the sensation
lover.
It is time that idea got a good slap
in the face. It is quite time that the
miserable passion ' that ruins the lives
of so many peOple be called by some
rightful name—jealousy, envy, anger,
deviltry, anything but love. People
who act in that way never have felt
genuine love.

REVERISR NEW ORLEANS
Another Tragedy Grows Out of the
Killing of the Italians.
JUDGE MAR—B. As A LYNGHER
The Justice \Vho Charged the Grand
Jury in the Present Affair \Vas the
Leader of the ‘Vhite League Lynch-
ers, and Was Proclaimed by- Grant.
NEW ORLEANs, March 20.—-The excite-
ment attendant upon the lynching of
the Italians is aroused again by another
tragedy which has occurred, and also by
the summoning before the self constituted
court of the people 'of the Hennessy jury.
Almost anything may happen.
The jurors have been called before the
committee, and are to be questioned sharp-
ly as to what took place in and out of the
jury room. Theywill not have very len-
ient judges. The grand jury, too, is tak-
ing a. hand in the matter, and between the
two the jurors will not have an easy time.
The latest tragedy shows the temper of
the people. The least thing can rouse
them. Frank Waters, a newspaper man
in an intoxicated condition, was abusing
the citizens’ committee and every one con-‘
nected with it. Frank Dunn, one of the
attorneys for the state in the Hennessy
case, instantly took all the abuse for him-
self, and the two men began to fire almost
simultaneously.
\Vaters Dead, Dunn Dying.
As a result Waters was shot through
the brain, dying immediately. Dunn was
terribly wounded in the breast and abdo-
men. Waters? body was taken to police
headquarters, while Dunn was sent to the
Charity hospital, and after being carefully
examined by House Surgeon Miles was
placed in Ward No. 14, no one being al-
lowed to see him During the shooting
two bystanders were slightly wounded,
one in the arm and another in the leg.
A great crowd instantly gathe1ed and
the saloons were filled with men passion-
ately discussing the matter. No one can
tell the outcome of all these things. There
are grave fears that the mob may take
things into its own hands again, and that
it will go further than it did before. New
Orleans is at fever heat.
Judge hIarr as a Lynchei.
CHICAGO, March 20. —A Washington spe-
cial to The Tribune says: A former resi-
dent of New Orleans gives a bit of history
which confirms the belief that the people
of the Crescent City are not in earnest in
any condemnation of the Italian. lynching
which they make This is due in part
probably to the recollection of the part
Judge Marr, who made the charge to the
grand jury, has played' 1n proceedings sim-
ilar to those which he now denounces
The records of the depart1nent Of justice
show that this same judge was himself the
leader of the White League, which Sept. 14,
1874, rose against the recognized state gov-
ernment and shot down forty 01' fifty
members of the state militia in the street,
for which offense no one was even brought
to trial.
He Led the “’hite League.
Mr. Mair v oluntcered to lead the White
League, and did so. He arrested the agent
of the governor in the \Vestern Union
telegraph ofiice, as he thought he had a
telegram to President Grant calling for
United States intervention, and believing
he had intercepted the dispatches he or-
dered the cutting of all wires leading out
of New Orleans in the direction of Wash-
ington.
As a matte1 of. fact the momentous dis-
patch had been sent through five minutes
before Mr. Marr made his appearance in
the telegraph office with his body guard of
White Leaguers with fixed bayonets, and
the Western Union company soon com—
pelled him to permit the re-connection of
the wires.
Proclailned by Grant.
Next morning President Grant pro-
claimed Mr. Marr and his associates as
rioters and ordered their dispersal. For
his services in this connection Mr. Marr
was appointed by Governor Nicholls, dur-
ing his first term of office, associate justice
of the supreme court of Louisiana, and he
subsequently received a Democratic nomi-
nation and election to his present position
as one of the judges of the criminal courts
of New Orleans.
The Alleged Bribery in California.
SACRAMENTO, 0511., March 20.—-An in-
vestigation into the charges of bribery so
freely made within the past few days with
regard to the United States senatorship
has at last been commenced. The investi-
gation is being conducted by a joint com-
mittee of the legislature. A score of wit-
nesses have been examined _by the com-
mittee. Among those who testified was
Mr. Estee, one of the aspirants for sen-
atorial honors. He denied all' knowledge
of money being used to influence members
of the legislature in favor of any candi-
date. The committee decided not to re-
veal the contents Of a package found in
the library of the state capitol said to have
abearing on the alleged corrupt use of
money in the senatorial fight. It is be-
lieved, however, that the documents con-
tained in this package will be read before
the committee.
