embraces 1000 miles III te 81 stem, has
only eight millions of capital, stock and
bonds, on the 200 miles in its original
ownership. and that is to say $40 900 per
mile against 100000 per mile of stock
and bonds on the railways Of the middle
States, SS6,G00 per mile on tho Pacific
railways and those Of the Pacific States,
and $4,000 per mile on those of the

inasmuch as the facility for easy con-

many lines being unfinished, with con.

The weapon was loaded to the muzzle
with birdshot, two or three hundred OF

of the crime nor the motive was known

The boy, who before this had been living

Cosgrove of the Vindicator, has lib
eralized so much of late, that Pinch

him duly qualified enter tle Repub-

dial invitation to come in and shake
hands across the bloody chasm.
This was too much for our friend
Cosgrove, who ina longarticle headed.
TO, thank you, rises to explain how
it is that while he appeals to the
young men of all parties to "unif-
cate' on q political platform of his
own, he still holds to the Democratic
organization.
The Louisianian's polite invitation
ought to demonstrate to our
dashing confrere of the indicator,
that guerilla warfare will not succeed
any better in politics than it does in
war.
We can't well understand our
friends position as n Democrat.
when he seeks to organize a political
association composed OF the young
men of both the parties. which in a
paragraph that appeared two weeks
ago, in his paper, he declared incom-
petent to control the government of
the country,
That kind OF Democracy which adj
vises the party to disband for the OBJ
ject of organizing some thing else that
will do much better. is sort of De-
mecracy that is liable to bring about
just such demonstrations Us the one
that entered the head of the editor of
Pinchback's Louisianiau.
TO avoid such complications, we
prefer to march in line with the regll-
lars, whose principles will stand a
good deal more wear and tear. than

caused the Louislanian to look upon
them as good Pinchback Republican
