Truth via Shreveport,

The Shreveport Telegram contains this
paragraph:
We learn that private letter has been
received by a gentleman here from Hon.
Aleck BOarman, member Of Congress- de-
failing at some length his views upon the
political situation in Louisiana. That gen
tieman, from what we have ascertained, is
by no means hopeful that the visit OF the
Citizens Committee from New Orleans to
the national capital will do any good. He
intimates that but little feeling has been
aroused by it among the law makers of the
nation or the people Of the North, and that
the probabilities are that the line of policy
inaugurated by President Grant concerning
our State affairs will be sustained. He
urges that final effort be made, however,
In order to prevent matters going by de-
fault. We presume Mr.. Boarman's views
are about correct. His opportunities of Oh
servation, we take it, are very good.

1T. Louis TO Little Rock by Rail.

ST. LOUIS, January 3.-The last rail on
the northern division of the Cairo and
Fulton railroad, connecting Little Rock,
Arkansas, with st. Louis, was laid yester-
day. Tho southern division of this road
extends from Little Rock to Northern
Texas, where connection will be made with
the International railroad which in turn
connects at HCarne, Texas, with the system
of roads extendingt to the Gulf of Mexico.
When this division is completed, which
will be within the present year, st. Louis
will have another direct connection this
one via the Iron Mountain railroad) with
TexYs and the Gulf of Mexico, and also
with the Southern Pacific railroad

HLerchants' Freight Union:

FROM inc washington
The merchants of Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and other Western cities have
formed sort of protective union, in order
to cheaper their freights. The combina-
ton proposed to give their whole freight
business to that road that would do it
cheapest. The transaction is perfectly fair
and above-bOard, recognizing principle
upon which every man does his trading
going to the cheapest But as the railroads
of the country are fast combining together
in order to maintain high prices, and de-
prive the public of all the benefits of health
full competition, the merchants are not per
mitted to reap the advantage they antici-
pated. The companies Except the Balti-
more and Ohio rOad) have combined against
the Merchants Union, with an avowed
purpose of breaking it up. They not only
bind themselves not TO contract with the
union, but to deny. them the benefit of
special rates ordinarily conceded upon Ger
sain conditions.
Thus again and again are the people re-
minded and legislators admOnished that
there is n power in the country that sets
itself above all rules but those that are
self imposed for the more efipctuaE accom-
plishment of its own ends. BY franchises,
special privileges and subsidies, the nation
and the States have built up power that
makes itself felt by its eXactiOns through
all the ranks of society.
. There would seem To he no reason why
the railroad business should not be subject
either 10 the common laws of competition
cor public regulations that recognize the
rights of the people az paramount i'll gov
eminent that is established by the people
for their own benefit
1t is stated that there are freight lines
sknown as the white line, blue line, red
line, etc., that are organized just as the
Credit Mobilier was organized, for the ben
sefit of combinations formed inside of the
Soad directories. With none but the best
feelings toward railroads, The press is bound
% sdmonish them that they are sowing to
che wind and may not hope to escape the
Ghirl wind.
