Driving Across the River.

DffVtH&5 {ACfOSS tttC kCtteTs
A wagon and foot bridge at this
point across the Ouachita has been
long desired, but the expense of con-
struction has placed this want beyond
the limits of all reasonable hope. The
advantages have been apparent, but of
that character known as unattainable.
| The last hope vanished some time ago
when it was believed that the cost of
building wagon bridge in connection
! with the railroad bridge was too great
to be met and that the arrangement
could not be made
But, now comes General Manager
Green with suggestion that the peo-
pie of this city make proposition to
pay annually for term of years, say
five or ten, to the Railroad company,
a certain amount for the perpetual use
of the railroad bridge as q wagon and
foot bridge whenever not in use by the
road, or open for the passage of boats.
The total amount to be offered will be
fixed by those making the offer-that
is, the Railroad company will decide
according to the amount offered and
the terms ofpayment, whether, or not,
they will grant the privilege asked
for. This offer, Major Green will lay
before the Board of Directors, at its
next meeting carly next month, for
consideration. At any subsequent
meeting the proposition will come too
late, and hence the importance of i'm
mediate action by our citizens.
The plan for using the bridge, as
suggested, is perfectly feasible, without
the least danger, or delays to vehicles
at any time as lengthy as that at u
ferry. The bridge will be fioored, with
a gate at either end. A Waterman will
be placed over each gate to turn it across
the dirt road at the approach of a train,
or to close 1t over the track when the
draw is open. This gives perfect secur-
ity, and the bridge gives rapid transit
across the river.
This, in brief, is the idea suggested
by Major Green, and we unhesitating.
ly give it our endorsement. The OPP
portunity to accomplish a cherished
object seems almost to have been
thrown at our people, if the plan can
be worked out, and we dare say they
will eagerly seize the opportunity.
The people of the entire parish, we
feel satisfied, will cheerfully aid Mon.
roe, If necessary, in meeting the re-
quired liabilities. What these will be
depends upon the simple questions
What is bridge worth? and,
What will the Company take, you
think, for the privilege of using theil
bridge perpetually? The Company
may, or may not grant the privilege
the amount offered is to determine.

Gen. Hancock suppressed bis views upon the
other prominent features Of the Democratic
platform. Among other subjects mentioned
in that document which Gen. Hancock has
ignored altogether are the following: The
currency, Inc Government debt, State debts,
the tariff, the fraud issue," "free ships"
the transportation question, the public
schools, the Chinese question, the labor ques~
tion, the bestowal Of grants and gratuities as
public bounty. It Is as well, perhaps, that
Gen. Hancock made no effort to elaborate
any Of these themes. If he had tried il, and
made no better success than he has made
with the one question he has discussed, the
result would have been needles1y mortify-
ing to his friends, while silence may be con-
strued by his own party as doci1e readiness
to obey the Democratic caucus in all matters.

lieve that the National Government has
the same right to employ force to
compel the observance Of its laws that the
State or Municipal Government exercises.
Otherwise the National Government, which
ought to be supreme, is at the mercy of the
local governments, and wherever the men
who control the latter refuse to enforce the
United States laws the National Government
must submit and confess itself helpless.
The application of such theory includes
the National Election laws as we'll as other
United States statutes. The lawless 'sshot-
gun" may then be substituted at any time
for the lawful "bayonet," and great Gov
ern1nent like ours will be powerless to pro-
tcct its people against the outrage. Where

forth his case. The Council will refer the
papers to the Committee on Elections, and.
in the presence Of both contestants and their
lawyers, the returns will be examined and
the ballots scanned and counted. All tie
scratched tickets will be duly Inspected,
and each contestant will be accorded bis
rights. II any disputes arise as to
scratched tickets, the persons casting
them will be summoned to appear
and explain for whom they voted. The case
is now in shape where the Council can act In
its judicial capacity, and we have no doubt
that it will decide fairly. If it can be made
to appear that Stauber received majority OF
all the legal votes cast the Council will award
him the seat beyond doubt. McGrath him
self says that he doesn't want the seat Ii he
was not fairly elected, and that the moment
the Forthcoming investigation shows that he
did not receive majority Of the legal votes
lie will step down and out, and not wait to be
voted out by the Council.
It is alleged on Stauber's side that {" the
ballot-box of the Seventh Precinct was taken
to the house OF the Democratic judge OF
election, and there, between the hours Of 13
AIl0 III L4C A4NAA4AEt A44V D(AA4NA4RtA\ sAAAeA
Republican judges broke open the ballot-box
and broke the seals OIL the envelopes and
changed the returns," giving McGrath a
large number Of votes that were cast for
Stauber. On the other hand, the judges say
in their own vindicatlon that in the first count
they overlooked the scratched tickets that
were cast for McGrath and counted them nil
for Stauber; and McGrath himself says that
a considerable number Of his tickets in some
of the precincts accidentally found their way
into the town box and the judges refused to
credit them to him, although they should
have done so. BE will. therefore, insist that
the ballots of those particular precincts shall
also be counted.
The whole case will be gone through with
and thoroughly investigated in order that the
actual facts may he ascertained, justice done,
and the right man accorded his seat The
wisest course for the Communists to pursue
is to keep OIL their neither garments and fol
low the law. Indignation meetings, and
frothy defamation, and libelous resolutions
will avail them nothing. II their man did
not receive majority OF the legal votes cast
lie won't be seated; but if it. shall appear
that he did, he will, and no demagog subble
to q liquor-soaked mob will change the re-
suit .one iota. Marching to the Council
Chamber under tile leadership of the blatant
alien Grottkau "to protest against seating
Aid. McGrath," or to oyerawe that body,
will not help the cause Of Stauber: and If the
rlngleader were not jackass as well as
knaye he would know it.
