THE LANDING PRIVILEGES ASK.
ED BY THE n. q. PACIFIC.

As the CAPIToLIAN is not in the
habit Of lodging any question Of pub
lie interest, wewill give a brief ex-
pose Of our views regarding the or
dinanoe presented by Col. Wheelock,
to the consideration of our City Coun-
Gil.
We believe that while the Council
should not give away any front from
which the city derives importantrev-
enues, it should take thought
full and broad view of the situation.
The idea that property becomes
valuable, the moment a purchaser
shows himself, should not control the
Council, when considering the appli-
cation of the Railroad Company.
We need a railroad to put our city
In communication with the entire
railway system Of the country, which
will also make it an objective point
for interior roads to connect with.
Without railroad Baton Rouge
must remain what it has been till now,
a big landing for steamboats,, to reach
which exorbitant rates for passage
were exacted, not to speak of the time
wasted in travelling to and fro.
We must get out of the wilderness.
Now to the point.
We are in favor of allowingSthe N.
O. Pacific to have the use of the City's
front, between America and Spain
street and to give them right of way
on Front and some side streets, to a
depot ground on the batture between
Convention and Boulevard, which the
City will also allow them to use.
These privileges would not inter-
fere with the coal landing, saw mill,
or any other of the city's contracts.
The company should not be given
free wharfage privileges for steamers
landing at their wharves, except per-
haps, those coming to discharge
railroad iron or material to be used
by their roads.
The right of other railroads.&c. use
the landings, wllarves and depots OF
the company, upon paying pro-
rata share of expenses incurred and
to be incurred, should be reserved by
the city.
Ina word, the river front assigned
to the N. o. Pacific Company, should
be tile railroad landing and union
depot of Baton Rouge.
The city of Baton Rouge can grant
these privileges without any aetri,
ment to her interests.
The Council, viewing both the past
aud the future, should act intelli.
gently inithe matter. 1t cannot at.
ford to have it's good judgment sway
ed by men who jump hastily at con
illusions.
Bator Rouge can't afford any mis-
takes jastnow.

ASsESsMENTS.
A LamentabIe Display of Ignorance

A Lamentable Display of Ignorance
by an Easterner.
The New York Weekly Mining News
rushes in and says "The assessment
system in mining has not a single point 10
recommend it. 1t is an unadulterated ard
unmitigated evil, and its adoption would
be an overwhelming misfortune to the
whole mining interest" In reply, the San
Francisco Daily report says the News does
not advance a single fact or argument to
support its assertion. 1t merely says over
and over again. in varied language, that
the assessment system is only designed to
promote ~swindling, and concludes that it
is never safe to invest in assessable min
ing stock" OF course hat is only a nom
sensical display Of ignorance. We do not
say that no Improvements in assessment
methods are possible, but let us suppose q
case. Suppose that a number Of indi-
viduals, associated together as an incor-
porated company for the purpose Of deveopl
ing a mine, find the money in the company's
treasury exhausted and the expected
bonanza unreached suppose that, never
theless, there are indications in the rock
that a bonanza is near, are they to be for
bidder from assessing themselves to I'M
cover ore which would reimburse them for
their outlay and make them rich, and must
they abandon the mine? Is that the News
proposition2 We know that the reply
may be made: Let the contributions to
work the mine be voluntary" In that
case there would always be a number of
shareholders who would stand back, ready
to reap profits upon money which their
more generous Observation-Disclosures had
risked and that system would not work.
Again, it may be said, "Well, let a ma
jority of the stock vote as to whether an
assessment shall be levied or not" In
answer to that we say that the Board Of
Directors which now levies an assessment.
was elected by a majority Of the stock, and
therefore represents it, as truly as Con-
gress represents a majority of the people,
and more truly, for the Board of Directors
is elected every year, and Congress is moi.
The only way to control mines is to own
the largest amount OF the stock, and the
News will hardly assert that the majority
should not rule. We should, however, like
to hear what it has to say,

POWER OF HALF A
MILLION.

The friends of Rev. George H. Pool,
who recently died in the Flatbush Small
pox Hospital and was buried in Potter's
Field. Brooklyn, might never have been
discovered but for the fact that he left
property worth half q million dollars.
The publication of his death brought no
response from his relatives until q hint
was given that he died a Cresus and not
q Lazarus. Alexander Pool of Illinois,
arrived in Philadelphia from Quincy in
less than a week after the news that his
brother who was buried in Potter's Field
was rich. That power of half a million
has brought out q whole swarm of rela-
tives. The dead minister has no less
than four brothers and two sisters who
now make haste to mourn for him and
divide his money, besides four half
brothers in Illinois and Indiana, who
would doubtless participate in the mourn.
ing could they but share in the money.
The dead minister's reticence concerning
his family seems to have resulted from
his disgust at the disposition made of a
fortune by his father, also a minister,
who married a second wife, and gave
most OF his money to her and her
four children, ignoring his eight children
by his first wife. Singularly enough,
when the first wife died. a large part of
her money went to the step.son who has
died such an unfortunate death.
That half . million has stirred the Pools

6cient to bring nearly a dozen of them

MURDER
Mrs. Katie Jones, nee McLeish,
Shot But Not Killed at Reno.
State journal.

A dastardly attempt was made last
night to murder Mrs. Katie Jones (bet-
ter known as Katie McLeish). She was
out walking with Mrs. Foyce, for whom
she is working, and they were returning
home, when, just as they had reached q
spot in the road between McFarlin's black
smith shop and the railroad sidetrack op-
posite. some person, evidently in hiding
beneath one Of the cars on the sidetrack,
shot at Mrs. Jones and rushed away The
ball took effect in the left breast Just above
tho heart. Mrs. Jones bore the wound
heroically. and after the first scare of being
removed to Osburn & Shoemaker's drug
store for medical help. walked to the resi-
dence OF her employer, where DIR. Dawson
made an examination. A Journal reporter
interviewed her, and learned that on Mon
day morning she had received warning
that some woman had been watching for
her for W or three nights, and would kill
her at the first good opportunity" She
thought nothing more of the matter at the
time, although her companion last evening
insisted upon borrowing and taking along
a little four-shooter for self defense. From
Mrs. Jones' story to us it is evident that
the shooting was done by some jealous
person. A divorce suit is pending between
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones.
