HARMONY broods like dove of peace over
the Democratic party, if the administration
organs are to be believed, but there are kick
ers who show a disposition to perforate the
mony and reform. One of them, the Buffalo
Times, jumps into the arena with the follow
ing warlike declaration:
"The distribution of federal patronage, so
far as Buffalo is concerned, has been niggard-
ly in the extreme. The men who have worked
hard and long in campaigns without reward or
even the hope it, have been ignored in max
ing selections and their wishes have been
pushed aside without receiving consideration
from those they aided in eevating. There is
no Disgusting this, nor that it has been the
means of souring the disposition Of sturdy
workers. There is still in the hearts of
Democrats here veneration for Demo
cratic principles, but how long will
it continue if their preferences and rights are
ignored by those who ought to consult them
and give them hearing. 1t must
be evident to those who are said to have the
ear of the President that this refusal to
recognize the Democrats of Buffalo must work
an irreparable injury to the party in this part
of the State, and the sooner the fact is made
clear in Washington the better it will be for
all concerned"
Evidently this is a case in which promises,
and ''taffy," and reform cant will no longer
serve. Offices they must have, or to Hill they
will 60. Mr. Cleveland will have to drop the Ere
form racket long enough to look after his
New York fences a little-"fences" in that
State being highly important possessions.

IT is very painful to person who has read
in the Sentinel of the awful wickedness of
making partisan use of a nom partisan rsnart
such as it is claimed has been done win
the report of the civil-service reform commit
tee upon the Insane Asylum-to notice the
despicable and dishonorable use that is being
made of an alleged report by the State Board
of Health, also a non partisan organization
Judging from what has been said in the col
umns of our esteemed contemporary about
the Nervousness of the crime of using the
civilservice report, we shall expect the severest
reprobation to be visited upon the miscreants
who are prostituting harmless document,
sent to the Governor in strict non partisan
confidence, by an entirely non bipartisan board
who spent half an hour the other
day looking through the Insane Hospital.
Such breach of propriety must throw our
esteemed contemporary into a perfect hysteria
Of indignation, condition, by the way, which
is liable to become chronic unless heroic
measures are taken to keep it from undue ex-
element. The Richmond Telegram says:
"There has been so much horror in Demo
ocratic bosoms over the partisan political use
that has beer made of the report Of the Civil
service Reform Association on the Insane
Hospital that we are surprised to see dispo-
sition already, i'll Democratic journals, to make
a partisan political use of this report of the
State Board of Health. The indianapolis
Sentinel hastens to apply its If editorial, "a
complete vindication,' to the report, and as
sures us that it contains the Gods truth of
the whole business If we have read our les
son in propriety Alright, as it came hot from
the Sentiners own lips, this is outrageous"

A few weeks elapsed but in the meantime our
comrades in the departments being rapidly dis
placed and feeling that appeal had not been as

And again:
1t is estimated that of the total number of en-.
poyes In the departments in Washington the soldier
element Is about 80 per cent and it is believed that
nearly 40 per cent of all who have been discharged
from that class-here is certainly large per-
centage against us. 1t almost, indeed amounts in
places to ostracism and practical notification
of law.

ANOTHER NORTH AND SOUTH
RAILROAD SCHEME.

The Natchez Bannerof the lot h has
the following to say: cit would ap-
pear from this that the Syndicate
which was to have built the North and
South railroad through Ouachita,
Morehouse and Rapides parishes, are
casting about for another route:
Messrs. Col. Jno. H. Rice, of Fort
Scott, Kan., representing the Syndi-
cate who talk Of building a Southern
extension of their Kansas, Nebraska
and Dacota Railway, and Judge H.
M. Hoyt, OF New York, representing
the N. o. N. & N. w. Railway, ar
rived in the city on yesterdays train

ness men at the A. L. I. Armory last
night. The object OF their coming is
to see what inducements Natchez can
offer to the road to come this way, and
have demonstrated practically to them
what our people have been claiming
regarding the most practicable route
viz: That the route, via Natchez, will
enable them to cross tho Louisiana
swamps in fewer miles, on higher
grounds, give them straighter route
The Daily telegraph., 1886-06-22

to New orleans, ana through inoie
thickly settled country. Col. Rice
spoke to those present in the frankesi
erms, giving the names of the MEM
bers of his syndicate who are well
known to our railroad men as solid
men of immense wealth as well as
practicable railroad builders. After
satisfying those present that his CONS
pany was fully able to carry out any
agreement they may make, he said
that while they would build the road
and put il in running opperation
without asking a dollar from anybody,
they would expect, before locating on
this route, the city of Natchez to
guarantee them good bonus, payable
when the road is completed and the
cars running. Col. Rice then gave
graphic descriptions of the growth OF
his State, how in few years it had
sprung from a trackless plain to the
lproud distinction of being one OF the
leading agricultural States of the
Union with 5000 miles of railroad,
many thousands Of school houses and
the finest zinc, lead and coal fields In
the world, where millions of bushels
Of cereals are grown every year, etc.,
and ended by saying: "You people
OF Mississippi and Louisiana need ev-
erything we raise up there and we
need everything you raise down here.
This great trunk line from New Or
leans to DAcotah will open commu-
nication that cannot fail to be prof.
table"
Judge Hoyt, Of the other company,
then spoke briefly, saying that his
company did not feel that they had
met the proper encouragement from
the Natchcz people, that three years
ago they made their survey from vi
dalia, north, secured by donating
many thousands of acres OF land along
the line and the Vidalia people
had done all they could by raising
money for the purchase of ground on
which to erect a depot and machine
shops. But the financial aid expected
from Natchez was Withheld, and that
now, if our people fail to secure the
location of Col. Rice's company on
his survey, the N. o. N. & N. w. is
dead.
Those present then rendered Col.
Rice unanimous vote of thanks for

A VITAL QUESTION:

A VITAL QUESTION: s
The River and Harbor bills adopted
by Congress for many years past con-
tain liberal appropriations for the i'm
provement of rivers whose names do
not appear on any map that ever was
printed. Unknown creeks, small In
lets, unimportant harbors, crooked and
steep rivers, running through com.
paratively poor and thinly populated
sections Of the country, constantly re-
csive the protecting care Of the Gov.
ernment, and we do not complain.
But we live on river whose name
Is known far and wide-a river whose
beautiful valley is not surpassed in
fertility and climate by any in the
world-a river the best adapted for
navigation Of any in the country-a
river whose bosom is broad, whose in
clination or fall is very slight, whose
banks do not cave, which does not
overflow, and on which a mighty
traffic is carried on by vast and pop.
ulous country for six months of the
year. Yet, strange to say, the name
of the Ouachital yer is scarcely recog-
nized in CongreS above a tiny lumber
stream in Minnesota or West Vir-
ginia /!
Owing to the existence of two or
three shoals our grand and important
stream is "tied up" as it we're, for five
months of each year. These shoals
could be and ought to be removed by
Congress. Every practical steamboat.
man on the Ouachita knows and de-
cIares that at comparatively email
expense, permanent navigation can be
established, and they have repeatedly
petitioned for this relief. Year after
year passes by and nothing is done.
The people OF this valley-the beau.
tifuI Ouachita Valley, from Black
river to Camden, are interested in this
Vital Question. Nature has lowered
them with highway-a complete and
everlasting rival of railways. How
long will our people fail to look after
this great boon ? How long will they
vegetate and feed on empty promises?
1t does seem to US candidly that the
people all along this valley should lay
aside every other consideration and
endeavor to send q man to Congress
who is able to impress upon the Coun.
ellis Of the Nation the Importance and
justice and righteousness OF improving,
or rather, creating low water naviga-
tion on the Ouachita.

Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf Rail-
road Company to construct a road
through the Indian Territory, and then
went into Committee Of the Whole on
the Military-Academy appropriation
bill.
After a short discussion, in which no
opposition was made, the bill was read
by sections, but no amendments were
offered, and the committee rose and the
bill was passed.
The House again went into Commit
tee Of the Whole on the army appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. Wheeler, Of Alabama, moved to
strike out from the caption to the pay

The engineer corps did not belong TO
the staff, and he did not wish the

that they did. Their proper station
was in the line.
The motion was agreed to, and, with
out further action, the committee rose,
and the House adjourned.
