The hIarksville Bulletin calls TO

The Marksville Bulletin calls for
few good carpenters, who are
willing to work for reasonable wa
ges, and warns those now there
that if they don't lower their pres
ect prices they will be supplante6
by mechanics from abroad.
The same paper calls on all
friends of a constitutional conven-
ton, in our State Legislature, 10
place themselves Oh the record in
that matter, and to require the OPP
ponents of that measure to do the
same; reminding the former that
that will be prominent issue in
the campaign next fall.
The Bulletin is right. No SEN
ator Or representative who fails to
do his whole duty in this vitality
important matter need expect q
reelection, except, perhaps, by Sc
curing republican support; and IN
less we mistake greatly there will
be a judgment day next fall for
democratic conservatives" who
are afraid to be called simply de-
mocrats, for fear of alternating re-
publican support, and afraid to be
callea republicans, for fear of los
ing democratic votes.

TO HON. d. C. GIDDrNGs
BY PARTIES INTERESTED.
Galveston News.

IlTalVGSIDu NeNSs
Several lumber dealers and mer-
chants of this city being interested
in the final result of the log war in
Calcasieu parish, La, have ad-
dressed a letter to Hon. d. G. Gid
dings, setting forth an account OF
the troubles growing ont OF the
seizure OF logs by the United States
government. The estoppel placed
Oh the lumber trade has seriously
affected lumber dealers here, as
well as merchants who have sold
goods to dealers in the timber re-
gion, whose custom has been inter-
rupted by the staguation of the
business on which the people de-
pend for support. The petitioners
claim that the government has
acted in an oppressive and arbi-
trary manner toward many citizens
and, while~it has rights OF it's own,
has disregarded rights of citizens
and been misled by false represen-
tations of agents. The communi-
cation then gives history of the
seizure and representation of the
logs and suggests the following
solution of the difficulty:
"Another question arises as to
what ought to be done with the
public lands in the Gulf States so
that the industries involved in a
large number of vessels and mills
may be protected, in which many
thousands of dollars are invested,
and upon which many poor people
depend for a livelihood. This ques-
tom can be quickly solved by car
rying out the act of Congress pas
sed at its last regular session which
required that the lands should be
put in market to the highest bid
der, allowing that they brought Of
least o minimum price of one dol
Jar and twenty-five cents per acre.
Had this law been faithfully exc
euted, instead OF being controlled
10y a ring in the land office, under
the plea that Congress did not
make sufficient appropriation to
list the lands preparatory to pla-
cling them ON the market, as de-
signed (although clerk in the
land Office offered, if paid $500, to
list the lands in three weeks, mach
trouble had been avoided. If this
law could be honestly carried out
parties would buy ltimber lands 70,
their supplies OF lumber, and al
timber interests in the, South woult
prosper"
