the fault lies with the slow boats which

Gays that tho Pargoud y tho only boat that
gets to tho mouth on schedule time regu-
larly-that the others are frequently be-

one hour and that he can wait no longer
because their contract obliges Thorn to
reach here at q certain time, and that be
has to mako MP the ono hour on the road

have no doubt that this Is % and that Col

three years age, while Mr.. James
B. Andrews was President of the

proposition wss made by . Mr.. j:
n. Corsa representing the Baton
Roase and Vicksburs, or some 9th
Railroad, with this diderescethat
hs wanted only e1OQAoa and. that
was not. to be given hin uata the
road was in complete xnnping order
and the arscarrying paasangersand
freight from one end Of the parish
to the other. This proposition was
defeated in the dice Jury, beeadse
there was q Mr.. Edwards, here rep
resenting what was to be the 11oui.
siana Central Rail Road Company,
when they got their Charter, the
big gun Of which concern was to
he Mr.. :Eber B. Ward Of Michigan.
This Company proposed to build
the road for ,sothisg if they could
only get their Charter. "They didn't
want and didn't expect a single
cent from the peopls.7 They were
going. to build it with their own
money, and of course, We refused
to give CoEse $4,000 to do what
these gentlemen proposed to do
sratuitoMsly. Now the only differ.
ence between this and the old con-
Germ is that they have. substituted
the word "Railwayn, for 'fRail Road"
in their title, that they have got
their Charter, that they have Mr..
Kellogg for an agent instead of our
fat and over-sanguine friend Ed,
wards, and that they talk mighty
about big Tom Scott.
The enquiry is a pertinent one
right here: Why is it, that if you
were SO anxious to build your road
on your own account three years ago
you must have these heavy do:
nations nowi Mr.. Kellogg says,
"Oh the people must show an in
terest in the matter or we can't sell
our own .bonlls.n That's all stuff
and balderdash What do the cap
itaists care whether the people are
interested or mott They only look
at two things; is it sate' and does
itpayf
And again. Let US now count
figures on these gentlemen. Seven
per cent. on three hundred Thousand
dollars is $21,o a year, to be paid
semi-annually in greenbacks.
In twenty years this would
amount to 100000. This added to
the original $3.50. 600, also to be paid
in currency, would make the whole
debt 100000. This is surprising
that the road was completed from
New Orleans to Shreveport.
Now let us see how we wouA
stand if they only built to road to
Lecompte and stopped there. They
do not propose to give us any other
guaranty than their interest, that they
will 60 any further. And they are
to have the bonds when the sixteen

We cas.set sae on fair and equita-

Parish should take. stock in any req

men, provided we are secured by
first mortgage on the track and roll
ing stock in our parish, but we are
violently opposed to making any
donations to this or any other Com
pany, to try an experiment, tho re.
suit of which we can only surmise.
The increase in value of real estate
would rather rctard than promote
white immigration in our parish
which we need more than anything
else; because if they do not come
and buy our lands when they are
cheap, how are We to expect them
to come and buy them at an i'll
creased valuei A Rail Road might
increase the interest in the cultiva-
ton of CUR lauds but that would on
" bring more negroes here, and
would increase our political troubles
It. might bring about a fictitious
rise in the value of land, but it can
bring no real increase of value IN.
til our labor problem is solved and
our political situation improved.
The permanent value of our lands
depends upon. the solution of these
questions. It will certainly help us
but precious little to voluntarily
double a rate of taxation which is
bankrupting us now to pay. In
stead of helping Alexandria per.
manently, our opinion is that a
through road from Shreveport to
New Orleans would build up Shreve-
port and kill Alexandria as dead as
a hammer. We will discuss this
question of the proposed benefit to
be derived from this road at great
er length in our next issue and give
the reasons upon which we base an
opinion SO contrary to the general
ly received idea prevailing here.
For the present we close by saying
that we stand, square and fat-foot-
ed dead against THIS Rail Road
anyway, upon the terms offered by
them.
