THE Lake Charles Echo is justly
jubilant at the probability of that par
ish making the early acquisition of a
colony of immigrants from Cresco,
Iowa. Our ardent wish is that not
only Calcasiru will become peopled
up with industrious and Intelligent
immigrants, but all the other parishes
of the state as well. Immigration now
is Louisiaua's future salvation, and it
cannot be too frequently broachcd.
The parish of Iberia is far from pos
scssing it's just quota of them, aud
will not until it ceases to be the
stamping-ground of individuals who re

large number Of warm personal

and has good chance to carry the

difference in the opinion here advanced
and that given outby the st. Landry

TERMINAL FACILITIES FOE OUR
RAILROADS.

The facts which we presented, . few
days ago, In regard to the want Of ter
minal facilities for the railroads enter
ing the city, sre being verified BY the
perplexity manifested among the repre-
sentatiyes of these railroads in the en-
deayor now being made to provide for
their necessities at this point.
The further fact we suggested in this
connection, that the roads would be
driven outside the city limits and COM
PEELED to establish depots at inconven-
lent points for the business Of the city,
unless some measures were taken to
make room for them, is also likely to
be verified.
There seems to be no other resort I'M
less our city authorities shall wake up
to the importance Of providing a COM
prehensive plan that shall serve the
railroads and the convenience Of the
business community.
Has the committee appointed by
Council to consider this matter no re-
port to make? Are they making any
effort to solve these difficulties? Or
have they dropped the whole matter?
If so, they should be discharged, and
an active committee appointed in their
stead.
1t is apparent that the present depot
sites Of the B. & o. and P. w. & Ky.
roads cannot accommodate any more
business than is nov centered there.
Both of these roads are now doing busi-
ness at a great disadvantage for lack OF
room. The business Of both is con-
stantly on the increase. In a short time
the B. & o. will have practically a new
line running into its depot. The Ohio
River road will come into the city over
the track Of the p. w. 4 KY. But the
depot facilities of the latter road are
scarcely equal to its own business.
There is, in fact, 10 terminal facilities
for the Ohio River road. 1t Is possible
| that the two latter roads could unite in
charging and improving the depot
space by building out ove the banks OF
the river, and thus provide mutual &C.
eommodatiOHs sufficient for a number
of years, but the Ohio River road may
find itmore desirable and more econom'
zeal to build and own a permanent site
and ifthis is done we see no other course
but for it TO stop outside the city limits

HOW 1T WORKS

The new liquor law in Ohio has not
made IS great a reduction inthe number
o fsaloonsi in Cincinnati as was expected.
There are now 1000 in that city which
have taken out licenses under the new
law, and of these 1880 pay the 500 fee
for strong liquor, 362 pay the 800 fee
for beer ard wine license, and 8 pay
fractional fees. There are only 100
fewer saloons in the city now
than there were under the old law.
In Hamilton county there are 2I3 sa-
looms under the new law, a decrease Of
only 81. The total amount realized
from the sale Of licenses in the county
is $409, 2l7, and this represents the reve-
nue which the county receives from sa-
looms under the law. Before the ScoTT
law went into effect the number of sa-
looms in Ohio was estimated at $1,000,
The law will simply close those that
were least f~requented, whose sales were
small and the profits did not justify
paying 500 or 500 tax. The patron
age of these few obscure places will go
to the other saloons and help to pay
their tax, and justify them in keeping
open. The consumption of liquor will
probably not be diminished by the
amount of q dollar. A sufficient num-
Der of drinking places will be open to
make it convenient for every man who
wants 3 drink. The State is getting
more revenue, but to say that the Scott
law is a temperance measure is absurd.
Whisky is a free in Ohio to the man
who drinks as it was before the Scott
law, and it does not and cannot deny
the right to any man to sell it who pays
the tax-nOr if he don't pay. 1t can
only collect the tax when it can find
property to make it out of.
