HISTORY OF THIS TEXAS PACIFIC GRANT.
of which there has lately been much said and
writted. Away back in 10 the Texas Pacific
Company secured II grant which. had they built
IA QUO. .0JO acres of land But they abandoned the
work after petitiOning aid in vain from Congress-
their chief argument before the Congressional
Committee being that there ought to be Il South
ern route to compete with the Union and Cent? al
Pacific. C. P. Huntington the President of the
Southern Pacific, opposed.any aid being given,
assuring the committeeman that his was a COM
peting road. and that it would be built without
subsidy. He engendered an anti subsidy senti-
ment in the South in order to make it difficult
for the Southern members to vote for the Texas
Pacific subsidy. He insisted that the Texas Pa
cifc grant had already lapsed. and acting upon
that basis he pushed forward the Southern Pa
cific, and built it what he considered the
abandoned grant of the former. If the Texas
Pacific was really then alive, he must have been
trespassing on other grants. The claim he set up
that the Southern Pacific was competing line to
the Central Pacific was a gross fraud. but it suf-
feed to influence the votes of members against
the Texas Pacific subsidy. and the latter Compa-
ny went down while the Southern Pncifc pushed
on over its ruins.

TURN on the light.
SOrtlld Democracy.

In canvassing the merits of candidates for
the presidency there is one very noticeable
difference in the motives actuating the two
parties. With the democrats it seems to be
a sine qua non that their candidate shall be
possessed of "bar'l' large enough to provide
for all possible needs Tilden and Payne are
to- day first and foremost of all democratic
candidates Take away the millions Of the
whispering "Reminiscences of Greystone and
his name would not DO mentioned. Divest
Payne Of his great wealth and the over
shadowing millions of the Standard Oil com.
pany at his back and not a democrat would
raise a hand in his behalf Roswell p Flow
er's plethoric bank account is always brought
forward as a good reason and practically
the only reason, for considering his name
in so exalted a connection. And, out
side of Pennsylvania, Randall's main
strength lies in suppositious will
ingness of Tilden to make him his
political heir, and spend half million or so
in his behalf. Despairing of success through
free and honest expression ofpopular senti-
ment, tho democrats are preparing to hold
the solid south by the shotgun and lash, while
they corrupt the north by the unstinted use
of money. 1t is programme made more
manifest each succeeding day, and one
worthy of the decaying party. Happily for
the country, tho wealth or poverty of no
republican spoken of for the presidency
colors his prospect for success, nor is any one
of them conspicuOusly wealthy man. 1t is
fttingly left to the democracy to rate their
candidates according to their ability to fur
nish the means of corruptng the voter and
debauching the ballot box.

into any combination Of this character. They
seemed to be waiting for the action Of tho
party caucus. One of tho congressman told
the committee that the putting of sugar n
the FREQ list was only question of time, and
the planters might as we'll prepare for It,
Not being able to got any comfort from tho
democratic members of tho Louisiana dele
cation in the house, the committee called
upon some Of the prominent republican pro.
tectionists and presented their case. Judge
Kelley told them he was a protectonist, and
would stand by the sugar interest as long as
he could, but if the Louisiana representatives
voted to place everything else on the reduced
list he would have to sacrifice sugar. All the
protectionists with whom they convorsed
told them that there was no use Of talking
about protecting sugar if manufactures and
other industries were not protected.
Other members of the committee corrobo.
rated Judge Boattie's report. None Of them
seemed 60 have much faith in the efforts OF
the democratic members Of tho Louisiana
delegation in behalf Of their interests. They
all spoke highly OF the courtesy shown them
by Congressman Kellogg who took pains to
present them to tho leading protoctonists of
the house. and to procure them favorable
hearing in influential quarters. As a whole
the committee went away pretty thoroughly
convinced that mono of their own repre-
scntatives, excepting Mr.. kellogg, would
oppose reduction of tho tariff on other arti-
Giles for tho sake of saving the Louisiana
sugar interests.
After hearing these reports the convention
adopted resolutions declaring that the agita-
ton of tho so.calcd tariff reform is ruinous to
the sugar industry Of Louisiana, aud that
both sugar and rice must be protected If their
production is to be continued also, that the
Louisiana senators and representatives in
congress ought to favor the protection Of
"any and all articles of American product
| essential to the welfare, prosperity, and indie
pcndcnce of our common country"
Tho resolutions further adnsonish the Lou.
isiana delegation in congress that the duty
of protecting and guarding tho interests of
the state Should DO held superior and para
mount to all party affiliations, and that repre-
sentatives should obey the mandates of their
constituents" rather than "the dictates of
party and of party caucusos;" and that they
are bound to take care of tho interests of
their state first last, and everywhere, re-
gardless of all political necessities or require
ments."
The political consequences of this uprising
of tho planters against the reduction of the
tariff may be most important. The con Won
ton authorized its chairman to appoint n
committee, to be known as 'tho central COM
mittee of Louis lana protected interests" to
consist of two members from each parish
