Since our last mention of the work
on the New Orleans Pacific Railway,
we have been cursed with an install
ment of horrid weather, and as a
matter of course this has proven a
slight drawback to the laborers.
But we mnst make public that moth
ing short Of a continued series oftor-
nadoes can infict much stoppage to
the plucky ticks Of the Contractor,
and the bad weather we note only
serves to increase these ticks direct
ed by and under the guidance of Ma
jor S. L. James. He has his Head
quarters on foot and on the embank-
ments, in the very midst of the Ia
Dor and all moves by his command,
No work Of a similar kind ever pro-
crossed more in earnest, with less
noise or Dragging, and certainly none
has progressed more efficiently
against all impediments. We again
repeat, the right working man is in
the right working place, no false en-
ergy is displayed, but real progress
springs up at every blow. The la.
borers are all in good health, a very
few on the sick list, the officers. all
on duty, and in few days the work
will be completed to the Parish line.
A large installment of the cypress
ties have already reached here by a
Tug, and have been landed at the
mouth of the Bayou, where that
branch of the work will commence at
once. The tug will continue her
trips from Wilson's till all the ties
contracted for are delivered here, and
pretty soon we may have to announce
the arrival of the iron rails.

ONCE MORE.

Ijoyed its rushing events con dnnore
have made our first steps into Cen
tennial Year, and with some frater-
nal feelings for all and no malice or
hatred to any, we hope to be excused
as we once more come to our old love
and drop few more words in its be-
half.
With the best compliments of the
season and a genuine tip of our old
chapeau to John DeLacy, E. j. Bar
rett and George Y. Kelso, whom we
choose to acknowledge as the leaders
here of "things Radical in the com
munity Of Rapides and also the head
intellectual ones of the School Board
we desire to know Of them plainly,
fatty and without reserve, how much
longer are they going to permit US to
be totally unrepresented on their
School Board2 We have in several
numbers of our Journal devoted arti-
cles to this theme and particularly to
them as the prime movers behind the
throne of power, and we believe the
time has come when we should have
some action in the matter, and some
answer to our just complaints and
our fair demands. Do the three
members of the board, whom we have
been addressing all this long while
know the Importance and fairness of
our demands9 Are they aware of the
fact that we write by the card, have
the entire schoolable interest of the
white children of Rapidcs are at our
back, have every precedent in chris
tendon for our vouchers, and that We
have gone too far into this loving
breach to recede single step? We
demand of them in the name of right,
against a wrong Of which they are
cognizant, in the name Of justice,
which they have permitted to slum-
Der, will they not rise superior to
prejudice and political vassalage and
give us our minority rights? The
civilized world over these are always
accorded, and why should petty NAL
ice and bigotry inaugurate differ
ent courtesy in our midst? And
above all why should Barrett, Kelso
and DeLacey seem SO dumb to our
entreaties, and why can't we have
some action in the premises? Either
grant what we desire, what we de-
mand or refuse it and give your rea-
sons. Silence generally gives con-
sent, but the criminal silence in this
instance only goads us, insults us,
and nerves us the better for real &C
ton when the proper time to move
in earnest comes. We make no
threats, have but good in view, but
the three members of the Board, we
we again repeat, whom we actnowl-
edge as "Bosses," must not say here
after, that they were not forearmed
and that we have gone of halfcocked
and that they have been taken by
surprise. We are more in earnest
now than ever, have the juvenile bri-
gade of Rapides in our ranks, and
are determined to have some action
in the important matter: either a
frank refusal or the acceptance of our
oft repeated proposition.
