the above quoted section by the figure

was wholly null and void. The law pro-
vides that u personal property is sold,
aud q bill OF sale is taken and IL is filed

bill Of sale and no record, then TO make

Party Discussions.

The methods adopted by the domi-
uant faction of the Democratic party
for carrying elections and controlling
Che machinery of government has crea-
ted dissensiOns in the party in every
parish of the State that are growing
broader and deeper every day. In ma
nv parishes the opposition to the adj
ADMINISTRATION faction has become so in
tense that many good men and true
Democrats, representative men, declare
they will not support any man or meas
nre that has the support of the Burke
McEnery ring. There is no denying
the fact that the present State govern
ment is venal and corrupt and we blush
to admit it the people know it and feel
it. and are becoming restless and tur-
bulent at the thought that they must
endure this state OF affairs for four long
wears. But it must be borne, and for
the sake of harmony and unity of the
Democratic party we hope that our peo-
pie will not let the wrongs that have
been committed against them by men
calling themselves Democrats, cause
them at this opportune moment, to
grow lukewarm in their support of the
National Democratic standard bearers.
Let us by no word or act encourage the
and again contend for place and power
in the State. Louisiana must send a
solid Democratic delegation to Con-
gress, but she cannot do 40 il our peo-
pIe lug their local wrongs into National
issues.
The anti Observation-Disclosures faction which
is largely in the majority have wrongs
30 right, but they cannot right them by
giving encouragement TO the Republic
can party. Let the Observation-Disclosures
lists remember that they are as good
Democrats as the Governor and better
Democrats than his chief ring masters
VINO are running the State government
purely and solelely in their own inter-
ests. Let them continue to expose and
denounce the rascalities of the ring and
ia subordinates, and thus purge the
Democratic party of the rascals who
have grown rich and are growing richer
every day at the expense of the people
and to the detrimedt of the State.
A State Of affairs has existed in Louis
lana and all the Southern States that
has compelled the whites to hold to-
qether politically. It is true this State
Of affairs mas been very materially mod
flied in the last few years but there is
still DANCE that any break in the ranks
of the Denfeetacy will lead to injury of
nuhlic interests, therefore 1t matters

democratic practices and methods, we

Morgan Road.

The Morgan road is one Of the most
important links in the Southern Pacific
system, for the reason that it passes
through the richest section of this State
the Teche country-which has been
named "the Garden of Louisiana" a
region that Longfellow made famous in
his poem of ''Evangeline." The Morgan
has always been acknowledged to be
the best paying line in the South for the
reason that it passes through the largest
and richest sugar plantations in the
State, and is SO situated as to drain a
scope of country which gives it an i'm
mense local traffic. The road runs from
here to Vermilionville, where junction
tenn and the main line, then extends up
through fertile prairies and cotton farms
to Cheneyville, where connection is
made with the Texas and Pacific road.
President A. C. Hutchinson is constant
Nv making such Improvements as will
add to the business Of the road. A few
weeks ago branch was completed from
Baldwin Station on the main line down
BayOu Cypremort, a distance of eighteen
miles. Bayou Cypremort is lined with
beautiful sugar plantations which, prior
to the construction of the branch, were
forced to haul their products long dis
tances to the railroad or ship by small
sailing crafts to this city. The Morgan
has in the past and is still doing a great
deal to develop Southwestern Louisi-
ana, and it now has several short
branches which pierce remote sections
and enable the people to have direct
rail communication with this city. 1t
has also during the past year built
branch from New Iberia to the salt mine
on Avery's Island, a distance of about
twelve miles, and is now hauling large
quantities of salt to this city, which is
shipped to various points throughout the
country.
The terminal facilities of the Morgan
road here are of great value to the
Southern Pacific system, for the reason
that grain and other shipments from
California to Europe can be convenient
~ and quickly handled at their wharves
at Algiers. Times-Democrat.
The Morgan road IS "the best paying
line in the South" because it probably
has the highest freight and passenger
rates. It charges eighty cents to bring
barrel of -four from New Orleans to
Opelousas; and it is said that the
freight on a barrel of -four from New,
York to Liverpool, England, is only
about thirty cents. At any rate, the
Morgan road being "the best paying
line in the South" it must be very val
liable; and We fail to see any good
reason for the complaint that this parish
assesses it too high.
