~ Oh the AltRr q hlg E6UHtry
for the good 81 the cause.
Economy ought to be- made acduain-
ted with the fact that some 81 the
Councilmen are getting tired Of that
kind Of thankless generosity. Scarce
~ two months have elapsed since sew
eral Of them went down in their pock-
cts to contribute in PURCHASED twen-
ty-five acres Of land for the railroad
across the river, while many Of the
taxpayers he speaks Of wouldn't give
a single cent.
A few years ago the pullback policy
had made Baton Rouge a good place
to get away from. At that juncture
men of judgment and liberal views,
while establishing the credit Of the
city, went to work zealously to bring
about the restoration Of the Capital.
Besides using judiciously, as the Sc
quel has shown, the city's funds, they
spent their own means and time and
succeeded in achieving that consum-
nation, the effects of which are visi-
BILE through the improvements that
are going on all over the city, and
not later than yesterday, by the APP
pearance of a railway train opposite
the new Capitol.
Our mechanics find NO difficulty in
procuring work from which they are
enabled to give bread to their fami
lies. In fine, the most hopeful feeling,
very justly peryades the community.
And now that a new steamer is
about to appear on our great river,
bearing on her wheelhouse, as a COM
pliment, the name of Baton Rouge.
there is found a man who cries out
against an appropriation of one hun
dred dollars, to present the fine yes
sci a set of colOrs.
1t is so small a matter that we feel
the blush of shame cover our cheek
when we see this action brought out
in the public prints.
People of the Capital of Louisiana
would you refuse to present a one
hundred dollars set of colors to the
steamer City of Baton Rouge And
if so, what do you expect the citizens
Of your State to say Of you.
We are proud to think that such
men honor the CAPITOLIAN BY not
seeking its columns for the purpose of
giving publicity to such pitiable com
plants.
We here say it without hesitation
that we will never represent such an
element of our community, which we
know is, fortunately for the public
good, in very small minority.
We wish to represent the liberal
minded and progressive element of
this city, the large majority, we are
happy to say.
1t is time that public sentiment
should exhibit itself to put the seal of
its condemnation upon such complain
ants, whose publications belittle us as
a community in the eyes OF the world.
We are ashamed to read such re-
ordinations in public journal of
our city.

! Several years ago, when gloom
pervaded the minds Of the people Of
Louisiana and of the Crescent City,
whose commerce was dwindllne
away month after month, Z. B.
Wheelock, known then as a wholesale
druggist of that city, perceiving that
New Orleans was being shorn of her
trade by heI rivals, was seized with
the determination to help her to re-
gain the better portion of her losses
by urging the construction of rail-
road that would strike the Red River
valley and Northeastern Texas.
He set to work at once, calling
upon the business men and property
holders to unite their means and in
fluenCe to achieve the great consum-
nation he had in view. The aid he
received was insufficient to do more
than grade considerable portion of
the road-bed. The citizens of New
Orleans, when called upon to vote q
tax, refused to do so, and Mr.. Wheel
ock ruined in means, but undismayed
in his courage and resolution, con-
tinued his efforts, reduced then to the
mere advocacy of the construction of
the great railway.
There was time, even. so we
have been told, when men shrugged
their shoulders whe hen described
the great benefits which would ac-
crue to Louisiana and the profits the
road would give to the capitalists who
would furnish the means for its com
pleti0n.
Never tiinching in his purpose, af-
ter eXhausting his influence among
the capitalists of New Orleans, he
sought those of the East, and at last
Mr.. Gould was convinced and his
means pledged to the achievement of
the grand undertaking.
The man of iron will and indomi-
table pluck had wrenched success
over obstacles that would have ap-
palled almost any other but him.
Within a few weeks the New Orleans
Pacific will be numbered among the
great and the richest railroads of the
United States.
The man who has brought this
about is no other than E. B. Vince
lock, who has entitled himself to the
everlasting gratitude of the people
of New Orleans and of the State.
among whom should be neither least
nor last those of the restored Capital
of Louisiana.
Our people had suffered so many
disappointments in the matter of
railroads, that they had come to the
belief that many years would roll
around ere they would be Joined to
the greatroads OF the country by iron
links.
The last doubt was removed on
yesterday, at 1876 p. NJ. when amid
the booming of cannon from this side,
the first railway passenger train
made its appearance across the river
and stopped at a point opposite the
new Capital.
TO be sure that we were not mis-
taken, I'VE crossed the river with many
others and approached the iron horse
which was putting and soon steamed
away towards New Orleans.
