New YORK, Nov 5.-The cigar makers strike

why they sent for Cinnamon.

THAT LIVELY CORPSE.

Editor Democrat-Your editorial in Sundays
edition, in which you call the Jefferson and
Lake Pontchartrain Railroad Company "A
lively CORPSE" seems to me to overlook the
vested rights of that corporation. which have
been infringed upon by that swindle called the
Drainage Company. In consequence OF which
the suit has been brought.
Those who remember the Jefferson and Lake
Pontchartrain Ra ilroad Company are by no
means few, and their remembrance of that road
is very pleasant. Very shortly after its track
was completed to the Lake End, the old Pont-
chartrain Railroad found that nine-tenths of its
business was gone and not satisfied that their
road was being paid for out of the money COL
lected by taxation. the directors determined to to
compel every one who wanted, to go over or to
the lake, to go over their road. Looking over
their charter they found that the Legislature had
rairoad terminus at the lake. IN Orleans par
ish. and finding that the Jefferson road termi-
mated in Orleans parish, they went for them In
great regret of the people, after a year or two
the Jefferson company had to tear up and aban-
don their road.
But certs inly their right to their own land is
absolute, nor can conceive that the city of New
age com pany had the right to dig o, Q of their
dtehes through the the land ae Of the Jeerson and
Lake Pontchartrain Railroad Company, without
paving for the way.
IF the city government had shown one-half
the vim I'm defeniing their constituents (the
taxpayersl against the exactions of such swim
dies of the drainage company, which they
should have done. they would not now be en-
gagei trying to pay over 80 0O0.oo0 of illegal
bonds is ued to that company and converted
into premiums; nor would they have ben
called upon to defend the city against such
claims as that of tne Jefferson and Lake Pont-
eharsrain Railroad Company.
r may be, however, that after awhile. when
other suits. provoked BY similar causes. have
