We take pleasure IN referring to
shat portion Of the proceedings Of the
City Council III this issue, which con-
tains the ordinance adopted BY that
body, extending to the company the
necessary franchises and privileges.
The gentlemen who are leading the
enterprise understand we'll that the
future OF Baton Rouge depends upon
the amount Of energy that will be
displayed BY our citizens during the
next two Or three years; whom all
the important railroad lines will be
located and probably constructed.
It requires but little foretbongbt,
to realize, that those towns which
give the most promise Of rapid de-
velopment are those that will be-
come the objective points Of the sew
eral projected lines.
Baton Rouge is a prominent candi-
date in the.race for progression. She
needs factories and railroads to in
crease her commerce aud population.
Through these the thousands Of fer
tile acres lying idle in the vicinity,
will become new sources Of support
and revenue.
To induce all this, we must bnild
up an attractive inland city.
Nothing could contribute more to
the end in view, anAto enhance the
value of real estate all over the city,
than the early construction of street
railways.
The company is to be composed Of
the great body of our citizens, who
must all contribute by taking stock
ID accordance with their means, il
they expect the enterprise to prove
successful.
We believe the investment a safer
one than any that might be devised
The railways once laid will cost but
little to maintain and operate them
so that the subscribers, while putting
their shoulders to the wheel to push
Baton Rouge ahead, will hold stock
that has proven the most renunera-
tive, wherever street railways have
been operated.
Let's lave no pullbacks in this
movement, which is for the benefit oil
the rich as well as the poor.
A strong pull all together is in or
der Just now.

The blunders committed during the
ninety days of legislative saturnalia, at
New Orleans, in 1890, are to be correct
ed in twenty days Christmas time
frolio at the same city. A deficit Of
more than $500, 900 is the tail that was
left by the session of 1880, as bonanza
for the brokers. Yet, we must continue
to leglslate in New Orleans.

st. Tammany Farmer: The Baton
Rouge papers are justly indignant be-
cause the extra session has been called
to meet at New Orleans. The able ar
ticle on this subject, which we copy
from our excellent contemporary, the
CAprToLrAY, proves conclusively that
the session cannot lawfully be held
elsewhere than at the city Of Baton
Rouge. And this is the sentiment Of the
press and people generally, outside Of
New Orleans.

ID appears wondrous strange to some
Of our New Orleans contemporaries that
the people aud journals of this city are
not pleased to see that Baton Rouge is
made the Capital ION paper" while
New Orleans remains such in fact, on
the plea of convenience, as against the
letter of the law contained in the Con-
stitution Erp,dieacy has become The

A FRANER OF THE CONsTITT.
TXOE.

The following letter, regarding the
forthcoming extra session, shows that
the CAPIT0LIAN has been expressing
the views Of other people, besides
those of Baton Rouge, with regard to
the error committed by the Governor
in converting the Legislature in New
Orleans instead of at the seat Of gor-
crnment.
The writer is a well known and
highly respected citizen, who has
figured prominently for very many
years, in the political and legislative
councils of the State.
He will also be remembered as a
distinguished member Of the late con-
stitutional convention.
The words of wisdom contained
in his letter should not be disregarded
by either the Governor or those, who,
for reasons Of expediency alone, over
look themandates of the constitution,
which ought to be the bulwark of
the liberties Of the people:

DEAR SrR-There is general disap-
pointment throughout the country
that the Legislature is to meet at
New Orleans. The only reason al.
lodged is the unfinished condition of
the State House. We all know that
there is a large concert hall that could
be used for the House, while the
Court House, close by, would be suf-
ficient for the Senate.
The State furniture could be sent
to your city, and the two buildings
got ready in few days. As to gen
eral accommodations, they are ample
for the most fastidious. ] speak after
years ofexperiences for / have spent
several sessions in Baton Rouge with
many Of our prominent men, and not
one complained of a want Of comfort.
| Many well informed men doubt the
constitntionality Of a session held
elsewhere than at Baton Rouge, and
apprehend serious complications that
must grow out OF departure from
the requirements Of the constitution.
! We have the fullest confidence in the
integrity Of the Governor and believe
he is satisfied Of the legality Of his
action, but, nevertheless, when so
many of his friends differ from him
on the subject, is it not wise to stop
and review the matter with "sober
second thought" We assert that il
the convention could be heard, that
convention which located the State
capital, would pronounce in favor of
Baton Ronge.
The State officials. no doubt, would
like to defer their removal as long as
possible, but the Inconvenience to
which few persons may be sub
jected, is ndt tng to a great State
necessity.
The session Of the Legislature re-
CURED by the constitution to be held
in New Orleans, has been held and is
now thing of the past.
All other sessions Of Louisiana
Legislature must be held at Baton
Rouge, or its acts will be in contra
