No Fl.....a..ery in washington.

We suppose that it is right and proper
for as many Democrats to go to Wash
ington on the occasion OF President
Cleveland7s Inauguration as can pay
their way there and back again, but
there IS no reason why there should be
any pomp or pageantry about the inau-
grration business or any fiummery on
fhe mart OF the alleged aristOcracy OF
the capital. Gov. Cleveland is going. to
Washington as plain Democratic citi-
zen to be inaugarated President ia q
plain and common sense way, and not
20 set up q "eourt7 for the delight of the
snoIybery that abounds in the society,
Of that city. re any of the ne-haired
people want to have a ball let them
have it and pay their own fiddler, but
there is no call for the incoming ad,
ministration to be in any way connected
with il. IL Mr.. Blaine wants to set up
4 tRepubliean court and monopollze
the style of the CAPITAL City that is his
privilege, but this Democratic admins
tration is going in for business and not
% put gilt edge on things. Cleveland

Ifthere had never been railroad in
this country, New Orleans would have
been larger and more important city
than size is at present.-City Item.
Yes, and if there were not railroad
in the world and Texas had even IFS
present population Shreveport would
be city of more than hundred thou
sand population. Time was when trade
IN OK teams, came to this market from
points more than three hundred miles
west of as. However. but for railroads,
Texas would not have developed SO
,qapidIy. And again they are existing
f cts and must be made the most Of
Shreveport Times.
Yes. and some Of our people say and
believe that il Alexandria had never
Rad Il railroad she would be better of
nv far than she is to-day. These par
ties contend that by the two roads
which come III and pass by our doors
fhe last yestige of trade is taken from
Ms. and we are left without resources
worth mentioning. Our population
has not increased, and as to develop
ment, why no such thing is discernible.
