The Employment Dilemma i.

The Shreveport Telegram publish es an
article headed Damned if / Don't Intend
to Do My Own Thinking Hereafter" It il
an excellent resolve, profanely expressed
and it is the language of Caddo planter
one of those misguided planters who, during
the White League campaign of last fall
was induced to sign the agreement so ex
tensively circulated and signed in that
parish. to the effect that he wo uld not en-
ploy any man who voted the Republican
ticket. He says:
1 was induced to sign that non-em ploy.
ment circular, and made to believe it was
our only salvation to beat the niggers. The
thing worked all right while l didn't want
any niggers, but it is playing thunder with
me now. when l do want them. The black
rascals who discharged then grin at me
now when ask them to work, and tell me
they are already at work.
The prescription boomerang comes back,
it appears. and hits the only men who bad
any influence. The men who viii tiled pine
in corner groceries. who never had the
hiring of any help, and who never did a
full days work. feel no inconven fence from
signing the Republican starvation docu.
ment but planters who need help now see
their folly. When wealthy business man
allows penniless pothouse politician to
dictate to him what men he shall employ,
and what not, then has capital gone crazy,
and loafers are kings. The White League
leaders of Cadd0, who vowed to rule or
ruin, are not quite satisfed with ruin,
and a new departure is looked for, and
better things hoped for in the Red River
parishes. We shall see when the Demo
cratic order to "fall in" is given. So far
as visible, the Democratic party in Louisi-
ana now consists of one red headed and
solitary horseman. Of course other war
riors are lying-lying in ambush, as it
were--but they want organization. Let
them organize at once, by all means: in the
busy season, and the planters who then
discharge Republican help which they
need, will be doubly patriotic. In the busy
season the color line can be more closely
drawn, the scallawag punished, and the
man who intends to do his own thinking
can be run out of town, sacrificing greater
interests for his impudent political indie
pendence.

IntempeFance.

The Louisiana State Register, published
in this city, says:
While the city administration is hunting
up ways and means to reduce the municipal
expenses, we suggest that q closing of all
the whisky mills. in the city might have a
good effect. Last month the police made
1855 arrests, OF these 300 we're DRINKS. In
other words, one-sixth of the arrests made
were caused by whisky. By shutting off
the supply of ''red-eye" the police force
could at once be reduced One-sixth. Here
would be saving, and economy is the
mother of wealth.
The Register torgets that the drinking
saloons in this city are for the exclusive use
of our white citizens. Frequent demands
have been made for closing the few levee
barrel houses where degraded negroes
drink, but closing ffteen-cent shops for
more respectable drunkards 10 quite an
other thing. While we have free white
souls we, a. . Democratic city, can not
allow that; we will 60 into bankruptcy
first.

The Census Of L,vipx.ton Parish.

Hon. George d. Wells, of Livingston
parish, having addressed commun ication
to Colonel William Wright, State registrar
of voters, complaining of the manner in
which the census has been taken in Living
ston, and it appearing that just cause for
dissatisfaction existed, the Governor
promptly ordered that the census be taken
anew in said parish. Mr.. Wells claims for
Livingston parish population of near 1000.
New men will be selected to take the census,
and it is to be hoped it will be done cor
rectly, and that every person living in Liv-
ingston will render all possible assistance
to the census takers in the way of making
correct returns.

ton, and was made much worse by the
cargo of the chip Hagarstown breaking it
down while discharging damaged cotton.
Three hundred feet of this landing needs to
be entirely new, and the German steamship
line that formerly occupied it deserves a
good wharf, as it is the first to venture here
in the fall, and the only line that publishes
carries it out to the end of the season
whether their steamers lose or pay.
Posts Al, AZ and 43 are that portion of the
steamship landing lying between St. An
drew and Josephine streets, used usually
for transient lines or sailing vessels when
not needed by steamers. Patching here
and there, with some now end piles and
string pieces will make this good and de-.
sirable landing for the coming season.
Post A. at the head of Josephine street,
has been partially unfit for use foe several
years, owing to its continual caving in at
low water. 1t is doubtful if new wharf
can be made to stand here until there is a
large quantity of stone ballast used TO
make foundation. The end, however,
with repairing, would make good landing
for sailing ship, when there is no necessi-
ty of working but one hatch.
Posts As and As. at the head Of jackson
street, Just below the ferry, are completely
used up and will require to be almost en-
tirely rebuilt. The West India and Mexican
line of steamers have chosen this wharf as
their headquarters-and q most convenient
landing it makes. Their ships ate over 300
feet long, and when in port reach from
Josephine street to the ferry. The upper
part of the wharf should be built very
strong to counterfeit the continual wash OF
the ferryboats.
Posts AZ and 4S, the landing of the hissis-
siPpi and Dominion line Of Liverpool
