The New Orleans Times says, the
Louisiana commission have entered
on their task OF Cancellation and COM
promise, and already begin to find 1t
up hill work. Governor Packard ex.
hibits q disposition as far removed
from compromise as could we'll be i'm
agined, and will hear no proposals
which do not proceed upon the az
sumption that he is the legally elected
governor Of the State.
II the commission can point out o
flaw In his title, he is willing to have
the legislature reoonvened in order to
recan vass the vote, but not otherwise.
If the United States troops are re-
moved, Packard proposes to test his
ability to keep his place by force of
arms, and he is man In matter of
this kind and can be trusted to keep
his word.
1t is equally certain the president
will leave the contestants to them
selves, as soon ms all possible means
of bringing about settlement haye
been exhausted.
The dangers of civil conflict In Lou
isiana are by no means at an end.
This consideration will lead the coun-
try to regard the labors of the commits
sion with feelings of additional solici.
tude.
According to appointment made
Friday night, the joint committee
from the Democratic legislature wait
ed on the presidential commission
on Saturday morning, at parlor P, st.
Charles hotel. The consultation lasted
two hours. 1t was secret, and nothing
was CLEANED further than the fact that
the members were propoundlng num-
erous questions as to the state of az
fairs in the State. The committee
made a detailed verbal statement OF
the status Of the Nichols government,
giving numbers OF parishes and OIL
cials that had acknowledged diligence
to the Nichols government, and will
at a future interview present docu.
mentary facts,
The commission will at an esrly day
next week visit the legislature and
various State offices.
When the Democratic commission
retired, Packard's supreme court judges
were admitted to the parlor, and be-
gan their argument as to their status
and claim.

Accon,n, ID

The managers Of the different street
car lines could, bya little manage
ment, accommodate large number
OF patrons and at the same time put
money In their pockets. Many of
our business men live In the suburbs
Of the city. and they are often detain-
cd In their stores and offices at night
until after the street cars have stopped
running. They are obliged, therefore,
to walk home or else 90 to the expense
Of hiring a carriage. We would make
this suggestion that the different lines
have q car start from the LeGrand
corner, at twelve O'Clock, precisely,
every night, and put the fare for that
car up to ten cents. This would ac-
commodate many living ont along the
route Of the San Jacinto, and Ervay
streets, and we think IL would pay the
managers.
Since the above was put In type we
are glad to learn that the enterprlsing
manager of the Ross avenue line has
determined to keep one car down ut
the corner o: Main and Austin streets
Till IL o'clock sharp every night, for
the accommodation Of late workers.
This Is a great convenience, and we
are very confident the late car will pay
well.

Now that the new board are about
to take their seats and the business
OF the new fiscal year will soon COM
mence, we would suggest the
propriety, Of giving the police salary
of seventy-nve dollars, and cutting of
all perquisites. AS we understand 1t,
the recorder gets no fees, and we think
that that plan is the best all round.
Whatever nccrues from fines should
go direct TO the city treasury. AS the
thing is now, In an ordinary case, the
city only gets three dollars, while the
fees often run as high as ten or twelve
dollars extra. Think II over gentle
men, and II the plan is good one,
adopt IL.
