The building OF a railrol I'd rlnniH7
parish is great desideratum to the
country and has been a topic Of
almost constant discussion among
our people since the war.
Some efforts from time to time
have been made in this direction,
but nothing definite has been accom-
plished. Every body wants the road
but it still remains unbullt.
The last attempt vas made IN
1872. A charter was obtained from
the State authorities forming a
Boar., Of Directors, granting the
right of way and comforting the
power to submit the question to q
vote Of the people whether they
would tax themselves to raise means
to aid in the construction OF the
road. This scheme failed for two
reasons. The route of the road was
fixed through the parish on q loca-
ton that would have been of little
| or no benefit to the people of some
sections of the parish, yet it was
proposed to tax these equally With
the others. 1t was generally felt py
many who were willing to be taxed
that it was wrong in principle to
levy forced contributions to build
such work on those who could
! reap little or no advantage from 1t
when finished. 1t was further ex-
/ pressed in this charter to submit the
taxing proposition to the popular
Uote instead Of to the property oarn
eys. Voters who have no property
whatever should not be permitted tc
4 vote to tax the property of othars
even RI tine money to be raised is tc
be applied to the most laudable and
useful purpose. The sIothful and
Iimprovident would not hesitate to
vote away the savings Of the indus
trious and economical, but such
policy would be little short Of con-
fiscation and is radically wrong in
principle.
These errors ia the charter killed
the railroad scheme for the time as
it became deseryelly unpopular.
Our people have ever been keenly
alive to their interest in the matter
Of constructing such a transporta-
ton line. They knew well that the
parish is somewhat isolated and
hcut off from the markets. That the
navigation Of their streams IS de-
pendent on the seasons and is IN
constant That during the greater
portion Of the year they have no
choice Of markets, but must ship

Gen. J. Floyd King is in the Dis
trict looking after his political in
terests. Really it would seem that
the people Of this District have gone
back on the General. Every parish
in the fifteen is how confidently
claimed by some candidate whose
name is not King. The General
may be expecting, however, to get

A negro named Frank Mansfield
entered the sleeping room of q Young
lady in Cum Swamp last Monday
night and was forced to retreat.
Tuesday he was arrested and started
to Bastrop in the hands of an officer.
He was met on the way by crowd
of armed men, who took him from
the officer and, we hope, made the
proper disposition OF him.
That negro who has the lnsolence
to enter the private room Of white
lady without permission has in his
black heart too much sheol to expect
his existence to continue long ID

The Coma ressional Aspirants on
the Tariff.

There has been q great deal sald
about the tariff in this District dur
ing the present campaign, and some
of the friends of certain candidates
have studiously endeavored to make
the impression that Judge Gunby is
a high tariff man. This is unfair,
unjust and untrue. In every speech
Judge Gunby has made, in every
line he has written, he has dis
claimed being protectionist. He.
has asserted time and again that he
was in favor of reducing taxation TO-
the very lowest limit consistent with
an honest and economical admins
tration of the government. Had
Gunby been a demagogue instead of
a statesman, and had he pursued
the course of some Of the other can
didates, who seem to have no idea
what changes are necessary, who
have no theory, no plan, or method
how this reduction should be made,
but launched out in a TRADE of abuse
oo.;.a. lL--yaf-rtug laws, and narf
ranqned the mania -1nor1 their cps
preston, and burdens, no ono xu.a4.l4a
ever have found fault with his views
on this question. But Gunby. as a
practical man, knew thatin order to
curtail the revenues and reduce tax
alton, the present revenue laws lad
to be changed, modified, and
amended. He tearlessly gave his
views as 20 how the change should
be made, how the law should be
amended and his views are in
strict accord with the Democratic
platform.
But because his theory necessarily
brings incidental protection, he is
assaulted as protectionist. II
Nessrs. King, Young, Newton,
Wells and Murdoch have any fixed
ideas upon this question, they have
not given the people the benefit OF
their views. Judge Graham says
there is but little difference between
him and Judge Gunby on this ques
ton; that they both favor reducing
the tariff to the very lowest limit,
and only differ as to the mode. Ora
ham is in favor of raising all the
revenue possible first from Injuries,
and the balance by duty upon the
next least necessary articles. Gunby
agrees with the first proposition bu'
dissents from the second, for The
reason that there could be no agree
ment as to what articles ale leas
necessary. Take sugar, for instance
under such a method, and we II
Louisiana would claim that snga
VINO au1ong the least necessar.
articles OF consumption; that bur
ing candies, cakes, preserves, tod
dies, ETC., where one pound was USED
for sweetening coffee therefor,
heavy duties should be laid upor
sugar. just so with every Other
section Of the country that had al
industry to protect.
Gunby, on the other hand. is il
favor Of swelling the free list a:
large as possible. He favors taking
the duty off of cotton ties, all farm
ing implements and mechanical
tools, believing that our platform
proposes to protect the laborers who
follow the pillow or shove the plane
as much as those who work ii
mines and factories. Whatever rev
enucs are necessary after taxing al
Injuries lie is in favor of raising By
levying an impost duty upon those
articles that will incidentally pro
tect our home manufactures, oul
industries that most need protection

of raising the revenues to run the
