GENERAL MAHoNE's Washington organ
affects Righteousness at the idea that the
democrats of Virginia are being bulldozed
by the Mahoneites And we'll it may, for
no such idea ever entered the head of any
Virginia democrat, or indeed Of any white
man in Virginia, no matter what his politics
may be. No, it is not the democrats the
Mahoneites bulldoze-they dare not attempt
such thing; their efforts in the bulldozng
line are restricted solely and entirely to the
negroes who formerly voted the republican
ticket

Our friend, Geo. NJ Smith, in a
letter published in our columns to-day,
CALAMITY comes T. the defense Of the
Northern Pacific railroad company, IN
the matter Of the potato deal men
toned last week. The TINES made
its few comments upon Information
given it, aud with no desire u over
paint the picture The TDus has no
desire to, and will not willingly mis-
represent that company, nor any
other. neither an individual, hence we
cheerfullv give A,r. Smiths letter
place in our columns, although couch
ed in rather strong language, and viii
only refer to one point in it. Mr..
Smith labors under the same mistake
that our very nice and gentlemanly
Young agent does, when he assumes
that an attack was made upon the
virtue or honesty of the latter gentle
man. We all understand that Mr.
Taylor is not the head Of the \. T..
Co, but Is only It's servant, md had
no voice in the matter at aft, other
than to collect the charges he was IN
ssructed to make, and ne one had the

Congressman Price.

We had the pleasure Of shaking
the hand of our next Congressional
representative. the Hon. William T.
Price, last Thursday, at which time he
spent & few hours calling upon his
friends here, and looking over the
city, our water front, and informing
himselfof our needs, so that he will be
prepared to act intelligently when our
claims for government aid shall come
before Congress for action. Mr.. Price
IS an earnest worker, and his interests
are extensive in this district. He
also recognizes the great importance
Of Superior as the future metropolis OF
the state, and stands ready to do all
that he legitimateIy can TO advance
our common welfare, and it be
hooyes the people Of Superior,
to give him their votes nrespcc-
tive Of party ties. We make this as
sertion In this connection because It is
Il foregone conclusion that Mr.. Price
viii be elected By a majority Of four
or five thousand, and a large vote from
this lake port to which he could refer
his congressional associates would have
a very beneficial effect when he came
to ask for cur harbor improvement
appropriation. Hence sef-interest
and self-protection, without other mo-
tive, would suggest to all the propriety
Of voting for the man to whom we
shall have 10 look for these things.
Our local interests, coupled with the
fact that he Is Is sure TO be elected as
that election day comes, should give
Mr.. Price the solid vote Of Douglas
county.

From personal observation OF the
crops between Colfax and Alexandria,
we are of the opinion that the crops
in Grant parish are from 40 to 30 per
cent better than those in Rapides.
The great difference is owing to the
fact that here in Grant we had sea-
sonable rains in the growing season.
while in Rapides the crops suffered
for want of rain.
