New Orleans Times. /

Col. Tom Scott, the retiring presi.
dent of the Pennsylvania Central rail
road, in an interview with a represent
alive of the New York Tribune few
days ago, said that ''thc Texas Pacific
railroad is to-day one of the bestroads
in the country, with a great future. 1t
does not owe one dollar to anybody.
The floating debt which was necessary
to build itihas all been paid off. The
equipment debt, which is very small
one Of $4,000 mile, is the only debt
it has, and it is secured. Its also Sc
cured by land grants. The Texas Pa
cific is perfectly able to take care of
itself. Its building 400 miles to I'll
Paso. After that it remains to be seen
what win be done. In "a year it will
tap New Orleans so as to have port
on the Gulf as well as on the Atlantic
seaboard. 1t is and will be great
road" From this it seems that the
prospects of the early completion of
the New Orleans Pacific are much bet
ter than were stated in some of the city
papers a day or two ago. The very
general impression here is that it will
take eighteen months TO complete the
building of the road. 1t is very graft
flying to learn from Col. Scott, who is
president of the Texas Pacific and in
position to know, that it will be com
pIeted in much shorter time. 1t is
also gratifying to know that the Texas
Pacific is in such a flonrishing condi-
ton. That road is to give us connec-
ton with a large portion of Texas, with
the Southwestern Territories and Cali
fornia. 4
1t seems that there is some talk of |
a junction between the New
Orleans Pacific road and MorgaD's Lou
isiana and Texas road at VermiIionyille.
Mr., Jay -Gonld's agent, the engineered
Ihc Texas Pacific road, leaves Vermil-
Ionsille to-day to inspect the route be-
tween Nermiliouyille and Alexandria,

consideration Of all onr readers. 1t
must De remembered that the French
creole and catholic element is very
strong in St. Landry, and that this ele-
ment is generally opposed to secular
Sunday laws. Yet the aetnal.operation
of the law has been SO beneficial to all
classes, and to all portions Of the en-
pire parish, thatto-day, after fonryears
Of experience, il is recognized MS so
great blessing that no ofiice-scekcr
tlares to dcnounceiit Note the Dem
ocrat's expression it has made us
better in spite of ourselves" That is
precisely why the law is needed all over
the State. 1t will make onr people
better in spite Of themselves. 1t will
reduce taxation, lessen crime, elevate
private and public morals, give'every-
body necessary physical and mental
rest one day in the week, and gener-
ally do more real practical good to the
masses of our people than any other
Legislation which, can possibly be
adopted, And if our senators and re-
representatives. do not give MS Sunday
law at the next regular session of our
Legislature, they may be as sure as death
that the people, at the next general
election, will elect senators and repre-
who will.
