REPEAL IKR H0LNAI RESOLUTION.
We learn from the gas meter headings
that 1.-THE friends Of the Pacific railsoad
are eanvassing 70 settle vhssAsr or MOTTO
bring forward their measure. We should
presume that aftse the triumphant man
'ner IN which the levee' biz Is to '.be

tls'' The success of tie Pacific railroad
would b s1psrAuouss r must bs that
The pushsrs 1t the Pacific wheels lack
viger and vim; We should recommend
that this measure should be hooked On to
the strong locomotive which casries the
levea bin. 70 that the surplus power that
impels the one msy drav the other. In
deed, Ne can not see Why, with the CONT
denoe Of success in the principal meas
ure, al others in which the Southwest
may be Interested should not be attached
as . mixed train and carried through With
all the human Of . free excursion party.
There is, however, very serious OBJ
structions to the schedule of these i'm.
provments. The Democratic majority,
ct the last session Of Congress, resolved
that in tho present condition Of the pub
lie finances it was not expedient to adj
vance the money OF credit of the govern
ment toany public or private enterprise.
For this stringent decision the. Demo
cratic membets Of Louisiana voted. It
would b impossible therefore, that with
such rsnunoiation Of I'll present claims
to . national appropriation, the same
membeD oanDaexpect to push any such
bills through tie House Of Representas
tiyes. The very avowsl Of such . pur-
pose is . confession Of one or the other of
two proportions: - -,
1: That the financial condition of the
country was not 20 bad ~ the resolution
asserted. s-sa i .--
2. That the financial administration Of
. Republican administration, with the
prospect that the same
principles and policy will be continued,
has so improved the financial condition
Of the government that the Republican
policy Of giving government aid to works
Of public eatssprise may b safely re-
sumed.
It is beyond question that Mr.. Tildsn
stands at the hesd Of tho whole Eastern
railroad interest. The large Eastern cities,
whose diplomatic and commercial inter-
ests he also represents, need no Federal
appropriations themselves, and know
that without their aid no rival lines of
or transportation between the
East and West can be constructed. MI.
Tilden would, then, if he had been
elected President of the United States,
this Holman Democratic reso-
ution, and would with conscientious
have applied to the Pacific
:oad and levee bills the Democratic doc
zine that the Federal government has no
power to construct works or ways within |
he several States.
This obstacle Of the executive veto has
zen removed BY the election Of Hayes,
! President pledged to continue the Re-
publican and Wing doctrine Of apportion-
Nc the national aid fairly among all the
,eople Of the Union. The conviction that
W. Hayes will be inaugurated seems to
ave made Morrissey declare off the bets
# which he was the stakeholder, and |
ve presume the same conviction has in
luced our Democratic Congressman to
lush through bills which would otherwise
ave been sunk under the double weight !
q the Holman resolutions, and the party |
ledge and local interests of Mr.. Tilden to
eto all appropriations Of public money,
ands or credit for works of internal i'm
within the States.
The RApublican partv has removad this
at obstacle. The first and minor one
My remains. We observed With much
urprise that one Republican Representa-
i've from this State voted with tho Demo-
ratio majority for this implied reproach
pom his own party and this virtual ar
est of works vital to his own constitu-
nts. We would suggest therefore, to
Ion. Mr.. Nash that he relieve his party
Id his constituents from this injustice.
