BATON ROUGE AND SHREVEPORT RAILROAD. The
Baton Rouge Real Estate Bulletin in speaking of the
future of that place. has the following in reference to
the road to this place.
Third branch starting from West Baton Rouge
on the opposite side of the river, and running from
Baton Rouge to Shreveport, and opening up one Of
the most fertile regions in the State The road will
run first to Alexandria, in Rlpides parish on the Red
river proceeding thence through the rich parishes OF
Nachitoches and DeSoto to Shreveport, where 1t will
form connection with the Texas Pacific railroad The
section of country through which this live will pass Is
one of the richest in natural IN the state
and as it is developed by the railroad 1t will afford
wide market in which to place the manufactures OF
the city, upon which, too it will be largely depend
ent for its supplies This being point OF transshp-
mept a large increase of business must result there
from The extensive works of the combined length oil
road are to be here and this alone will bring large
influx of industrious and hard working mechanics into
our midst.
The lines of road proposed to be built by this com
pany will aggregate five hundred miles, to aid in which
they are amply endowed by both the State and gen
eral governments Their first mortgage bonds to th'
slfordng them an ample fund with which to operate
The second mortgage bonds, to the amount of twelV
thousand five hundred dollars to the mile, guaran
teed by the State From the United States Govern
ment a grant of land to the extent of ten sections t.
the mile has been secured; and the various parshe
on the line have granted further aid in the shape q
subsidies and subscriptions to its stock. With thes
ample provisions it is expected that the roau will
put through without delay and the sound OF the loco
motive whistle is promised in our streets by the first

How IS Is?-The St. Louis Tribune, the most
ultra Radical papers of Missouri appears to have be-
come disguised with the arrogance of the German
population of that State city. In speaking of their
insolent desire to dominate" the paper says:
In Europe we see the sane developments. Yester-
day was held monster meeting in London, at which
the rising indignation was manifested, resolutions
being adopted asking Parliament to withdraw the pen
sions of the German princes even that of the Crown
Prince of Prussia who is married to Englands eldest
daughter If the arrogance which has had its origin
in the temporary ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the Germans can
scarcely be borne in Europe how much less can it be
borne here? We assure tie Germans, in all iTiendi
of spirit that the American people vii! not suffer
their domination attempted domination any longer
Here in the city and county Of ST. Louis they have for
many years, after corruptng society, forced them
selves in the most lucrative offices only to disgrace
them. And now, grown more insolent By their dom
nation they have organized themselves into purely
German party, whose object is to dominate over, moi
only the city and county of St. Louis, but the
whole State Of Missouri. Thoughtful Germans are
right when they declare to their cOuntrymen, misec
by designing demagogues, that the American people
will not endure this much longer.
