For the Consideration of the Mayor

and City Council.
MONROE, La, January 1G, 1882.
! Editor telegraph ;
Article 2O9 of the Constitution of
1879, fixing limit to State taxation,
contains the following proris0 "prori.
del, that for the purpose of erecting
and constructing public buildings,
bridges and works of public improve
ment in parishes and municipalities,
the rates of taxation herein limited
may be Increased when the rate of such
| increase and the purpose for which it is
intended shall have been submitted to
a vote of the property taxpayers of
such parish or municipality entitled to
a vote under the election laws of the
State, and a majority of same voting at
such election shall have voted there
for" This question having been pre-
sented before our Supreme Court in Il
proper case, it was held that an ena-
bling act was required in order to give
Article 200 the effect intended by the
trainers of the Constitution. Pursuant
to this decision the General Assembly
at its regular session held in 1882, pass
ed an Act mo. 1867 in section of
which is found the following provis-
ion "That whenever one tenth of the
property taxpayers ofany parish, city,
incorporated town or municipality in
this State shall petition the police jury,
| city, town or municipal authorities to
levy an increased rate of taxation for
the purpose of constructing public
buildings, bridges without draws and
works of public improvement in such
parish, city, town or municipality, the
said police jury, city, town or munich
pal authorities sholy order q special
election for that purpose, and shall sub
nit to vote of the property tax-pay-
ers of such parish, city, town or NUM-
cipality entitled to vote under the cleo
ton laws Lfthe State the note of taxa
ton and the purpose for which it is
intended"
The purpose of this communication
| is to awaken the minds of our gigantic
Mayor and apathetic City Council to
the fact that the people of Monroe, did
some five months or more ago, in all
humility present to their aug,tstl,ess a
petition wherein they did pray that an
election be held for the purpose indica-
ted therein, to-wit: to ascertain
| whether the property taxpayers of the
| City Of Monroe desired to build mar
ket house by means ofspecial taxation.
This communication has another OBJ
ject. The people of Monroe need to be
reminded that they have rights which
| their servants, the Mayor and City
Council, are bound to respect. Read
Article 126 of 1882, consider its manda-
tory character and say whether ii
emitS any uncertain sound. :sThe said
police jury, city, town or municipal
authorities shat order, etc." The
municipal authorities of the City OF
Monroe have no alternative-let them
do their plain duty or let the people
| tIv what virtue there lis in Il lkr,adl
mus for the correction of the non feas
ance now complained of and "smite
them hip and thigh" when called up
on to exercise their right Of suffrage.

striking telegraDhers, and with a
boyish notion Of helping tho strik-
ers,quit work to the number of fifty.
and marched in body to the hall
where the striking operators were
holding meeting, only one boy
was left to do the work. Messengers
were brought from the delivering
office, and in few minutes business
was proceeding as usual. Western
Union officials tonight, report a
larger force on duty here than usual.
A considerable number of day rail-
road operators who came in during
tie evening were put to work, and
the business is kept pretty well
clear, except to offices at which
there Is not a sufficient receiving
force. Considerable trouble has been
experienced to-day, on a number
Of circuits through the Interrupt
tions by railroad operators, who
sympathize with the strikers, and
who manifest their sympathy by

LATEST TgLEGK AMA
THE TELEGRAPHERS.

Chicago, 2O.-"I knew we had the
men beaten ten minutes after the
strike had taken place" said Cob Ell
Clowry this afternoon, "and sub
sequent Developments have proved
MY opinion was correct" The
superintendent went On to declare
that the company was already in g
position to handle more business
than the public was handing in.
Manager Mccullough, of the Bali
more and Ohio Company, takes a
more gloomy view OF the situation
and declares that his company is
practically at q standstill in the
city.
at St. Louis and Cincinnati a
number Of applications have been
made for situations, but the appli-
cants as rule proved incompetent.
He asserts it as his view that the
operators will win In the pending
controversy.
Striking operators held a meeting
this afternoon which was
largely attended and there was con-
siderable enthusiasm. Ninety-four
new members were initiated, in
Guiding Il number brought to the
city to take the places Of those who
quilted the offices on Thursday.
The members of the brotherhood
expressed bitterness at the reports
given by portion of the press as to
the situation in other cities, and
claimed they were colored for the
benefit of the company. They fur
Their contended that their advices
from every large city showed that
the companies were in hard straits.
and were keeping up a show of ac-
tivity while in reality, they were
badly crippled.
None of the Chicago strikers have
thus far made application to return
to the companies there. At o'clock
this afternoon the Chicago officials
OF the Western Union Company
claimed to be well up on all BUSH
ness on hand, and that by tomorrow
they expected to accept messages
without the provision subject TO
delay"
New York, 26.-Jay Gould SAYS
they do not propose to recognize
any committee from the Brother
hood and that, if the employees of
the company persisted in their pre-.
sent action, they would not get
cent. They had already made fools
of themselves, and they would
realize it before long. AT the Of
fee of the American Ranid Tel
egraph Company it was said forty
operators were nov at work, or
about one-third OF the usual force.
The superintendent said new
hands were heing gradually Oh
tanned. Baltimore and Ohio GOm.-
mercial Telegraph Company was
visited and Messenger Fitch said
the company was taking messages
subject to delay for all points ex-
cepting ot. Louis and Louisville,
where business was proceeding as
usual. In the Western Union Office
the notice that all messages were
received subject to delay, or mailing
en- route still remains pasted up.
