fectly competent for corporate nature to
compel all the advantage possible from
this compulsory position of the city. we
do not complain that the gas monopolists
have compelled the people to pay more
than a million of dollars for the franchise
the people gave away. Such is the nature
Of corporations. If the Legislatures are
careless or dishonest, the people suffer,
and had better send better men to bind
them.
But with the power in the hands Of
these two proprietors what had New Or
leans better do? 1t is plain in any arrange
ment with either that all the money our
merchants can put up-even if they had
money to subscribe-will be offset by
the price in full paid stocks charged by
these owners for the charters. If our
people can subscribe million to build on
joint account the holders need only water
their stock million to absorb our money,
and the work will be made to cost mil
lion more, and will cost that much more
to work it, without acquiring thereby even
the control of the road. If, then, those
who hold the charters will sell their road
and unfinished work for what it may be
worth in cash at valuation, it would be
well to buy it. For the right of extension
nothing at all should be paid. The people
received nothing for it. The condition of
its gift was the construction of the road
That condition having failed, why should
the people pay for their own over again.
as they did in the grant and purchase Of
their own gas franchise?
1t is very plain that neither OF these
roads will be worth much unless extended
to Western connection. The first road
that connects at or north Of Houston breaks
up the Morgan coast steam line, as such
connection has broken up his own
and other coast lines. The owners of
these franchises must, then, raise their
money to extend their roads, not for us
but for themselves. Let them then decide
what they intend to do. If they can
build the roads which they have con-
.tracted to build in accepting the fran
chises, what obligation rests upon New
Orleans to build it for them? If they can
not comply with the condition of their
charter, let New Orleans pay them for their
work actually constructed or commenced,
but let there be no payment made either
for an unezecuted or unexpired fran
chise which they will have virtually for
feited by failing to demonstrate an ability
to execute. We await the demonstration
of the Mobile and Texas proposition, and
would advise our citizens to be very care
full how they commit themselves prema-
turely about its construction.

captured by the Sioux, who most as
suredly would, and probably burned
them instead of their wagons, provisions
and Winchester guns. The Indians
would have destro their lives but
saved their scalps and property, and then
there would have come across the plains
the usual howl about Indian outrages
and complaints against Sheridan because
he had neglected to send out strong
guard to protect the marauding party.
The government has long ago found ont
that if the white raiders will stay out of
the Indian country they can save their
hair, or at any rate that it is not proper
to throw out guards too far in advance of
the westward marching star Of empire.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN PENNSYLVANIA.

DOMESTIC VlULENCE In PENNSYLVANIA.
It must appear very strange to those
who proclaimed the troubles of Louisiana
throughout the world, that even greater
and more prolonged social disturbance
has prevailed for months in the State of
PENNSYLVANIA. If the conflict here was
between the Office hunter and the Office
holder; if the laborer was hunted and shot
because of his irrepressible determination
to vote for republican principles, what
difference was there in respect to social
strife in the cotton fields of Louisiana and
the coal mines of Pennsylvania? The
whole difference lies in the fact that Lou
isiana had not the power to execute her
own laws, while Pennsylvania has such
power. Here great deal of wealth and
intelligence took sides against the law.
There these elements We're enlisted
in defense of the law. The mill
tary aid of the federal government was
not invoked in Pennsylvania because the
State, and even the city of Philadelphia,
was sufficiently strong to put down the
disturbance and restore the domestic
peace. Had the instruction attained
sufficient consequence to render it neces-
sary, the State of Pennsylvania would
have appealed to President Grant as she
had done to President Washington, and
troops must have been sent to enforce the
constitutional Obligations of the President
in Pennsylvania as they had been in Ar
kansas.
As there can be no possible use of the
Pennsylvania instruction to cast respon-
sibility upon President Grant or the Re-
publican party, nothing has been said of
state of affairs in which lawless COM
bination has been formed to exact a
higher rate Of wages in which peaceful
men have been driven from work or slain
at their work, and in which military
force has been found necessary to abide
