The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1884-12-02

-IHE Times democrat states
that the largest cattle ranch in the
United States, under one manage
ment, is that Of Capt. Richard
KING, of Texas. 1t comprises up
ward of 100000 acres, all under
fence, and nearly 100000 head of
cattle, horses and sheep. This
ranch has been eagerly sought by
English, French and Dutch capital
lists, but the successful competitor is
the United States Land and Invest
ment Company of New York City,
who vejust concluded a purchase
at Sc, 100000 for the entire proper
ty. The Company anticipate an
annual income Of nearly 81, 100000
from this source, as the increase of
cattle is about IS per cent. As an
indication of a more settled con-
dition of financial affairs, the man.
ager says that tho Company's first
mortgage 6 per cent. bonds are
being rapidly sought at 1O5 and
interest, and that the feeling nov
shown by American capitalists in
this class of investment property is
growing daily Shreveport Times.
The Alexandra Health OFF,
Ger, S. Fl. Rushing, NJ. D., is out
in an interesting communication,
published in the Democrat, touch
ing upon matters affecting the pub
lie sanitation Of that city. He re-.
commends that pits be abolished
and filled, and vessels used that
can be removed. We advise the
people of Alexandria to make the
change, but in doing SO to adopt a
plan of closet building, receptacles,
and removals that is decent, and
under the direct control of the city
and health authorities, or else they
will always regret the change.

a great many persons say God bless
u.s. when they sneeze. The following
explains the origin of the practice:1
According to the rabbinical theory Il
was originally ordained that men should
sneeze but once, in that act possible
only when the time of death had come,
giving up tho ghost. But the patriarch.
Jacob, feeling that such 8 sudden call
allowed no time for the settlement 81
worldly affairs and for preparation for
the hereafter. prayed for exemption
from the rule, and in answer TO- his
prayer was allowed to sneeze and NOT
die. The change was regarded 20 9
great benefit, and all the princes cf1
the universe. when they heard Il o.:
sdered that for the future sneezing-
should be accompanied with thanks.
giving for the preservation Of lie and.
earnest wishes for Its prolo ation.
Hence the custom which has prevailed
among all nations Of uttering some
form Of salutation on the occasion ot,
the act. "a very common ejaculation
among old English people on speezings
is God bless us!' which generally
sounds more humorous than reverential.

Erance Not interested.

1t seems that tie representative OF
France at Washington thinks that the
French Government does not care par
ticularly whether the Nicaraguan treaty
is ratified or not. In a conversation
lately he is reported to have salu tnat
France had no interest in the Panama
canal: that it was purely private enter
prise. and that the French Government
was in no way connected with it.
II will be remembered that on the day
the Presidents message was read,
making public the fact that treaty had
been negotiated with Nicaragua which
gave the United States the right to con-
struct a ship canal across Nicaraguan
territory. connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific ocean, there was good deal OF
speculation in Washington as to how
France would view the treaty.
1t seems, if reports are true, that
France doesn't care anything about it.
England. however, appears to be inter-
ested in it, and her newspapers are dis
cusslng it in a tone that indicates
that the English government is
by no means pleased with it.
There is a good deal being said in the
English press about violations Of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and the unwill-
ingness Of the great powers Of Europe to
have absolute and unqualified control OF
so important an artery Of commerce as
the proposed Nicaragua canal would be
/ lodged in one nation.
One of the most important questions
which must be settled before the ratih'
cation Of the treaty will be seriously dis
cussed by the Senate is this: How is the
canal to be built, by private parties or by
the government? The answer to this
question may have great deal to do with
assisting or defeating the ratification Of
the treaty.

The Davis-sherman Controversy

Since the publication of the alleged
statement of Gen. Sherman that he had
seen letter written by Jefferson Davis
during the war that proved beyond all
question that Mr. Davis was a conspira-
tor. and not a secessIOnlst, two letters,
which have a little public interest, but
which do not touch the Sherman charge,
have been published. Gen. Sherman, in
an interview a day or two ago, said that
he had other letters which he
would give to the public, probably,
but that none of them related
so strongly to the charge which
it is stated he made against Mr.. Davis as
the letter last published, viz: that from
Alexander II. Stephens to Hersehel v.
johnson. and dated Crawfordville, Ga,
April 3, 1854. This letter is in reply to
A letter from Mr.. johnson, in which Mr..
Stephens is taken to task for his apparent
hostility to Mr.. DAVIS administration.
In the letter Mr.. Stephens says he
has doubts about Mr.. Davis inten-
tons. and mentions several things
that might justify the suspicion that Mr..
Davis was aiming at absolute power.
This letter was found in a tin box buried
il Herschel v. JOhnson's garden by a
soldier who was hunting for yaluables.
The letter, however, is long way from
sustaining the charge that Gen. Sherman
is alleged to have made against Mr..
Davis.

\ party of Tyler (Texas) railroad men
went on a camp hunt last week. When
they reached the section house on the
railroad on their return home, in order TO
have a little fun they told the section
boss that they were train robbers, and
were going to flag down and rob the in
coming passenger train. just before the
train arrived the man slipped off from
them. met the train and informed the con-
ductOr that robbers would flag him at the
section house. The conductor notified
the passengers. Every one hid his money
and jewelTy, and some got under the
seats. As the train approached the sec
ti0n house the signal was seen, but the
engineer put on all steam, hid down in
the cab and the train went by like a shot,
and the passengers breathed again. When
the train reached Athens the conductor
notified the Sheriff, who organized large
posse and went after the robbers on the
first train. They were all captured, ard
the section boss had the satisfaction of
knowing that he had turned the joke.

The Commission Feature Of the In
tcr.- state Commerce. Bill.

The Commission Feature of the In
ter-State Commerce Bill.
II is noticeable that the House has
changed the Interstate commerce bill in
one respect that is very important. AS
the bill came from the committee it pro-
vIded for a railroad commission with
rather extensive powers. This commits
sion was not given authority to fix rates,
but il was made its duty to hear all CON-
plants relating to unjust Determinations
and to institute suits in the proper tri-
bunaIs to compel the railroads within its
Jurisdiction to comply with the law. The
bill was changed by substituting por-
tons Of the Reagan bill, and
as it is now no commission is created.
Those who may be aggrieved by violations
of the law on the part OF the railroads
must carry their complaints to the
courts if they desire redress. This change
in the bill is, no doubt, agreeable to the
railroads, because it relieves them Of the
ANNOYANCE of a commission that doubt
less would be constantly interfering with
their affairs. The House saw, perhaps, the
UlIutulLN Ql sECuAAuE NoAAAAAAAo7ACAi--0 " -
would discharge their duties faithfully,
and at the same time with impartiality
and Judgment. Some would be so incOm-
petent as to be worthless; others would
be content to draw their salaries and let
matters take their course, and
still others, perhaps, would seek
to annoy the railroads either
through a desire to make an offensive eX-
hibition Of their power or with the inten-
ton of forcing illegal contributions from
them. 1t is probable that all these posi-
bilities were considered. The conclusion
finally reached was, doubtless, a wise
one. OF course it would have been pos
sibIe to have gotten good men for COM
missiOners, but the pressure for the
places would have been SO great that it
would have been almost impossible to
have exercised care and judgment in the
selection of them.
