An Appeal for the Railroad.

The following circular letter has been
sent out to people all over the parish
urging them to interest themselves in
behalf of the great North and South
railroad enterprise. We print it to-day
10 give it more extended circulation
and to add the weight ofthe Telegraph's
influence with that of the gentlemen
signing the appeal for thrift enterprise
and progress. We are offered the
greatest opportunity of our lives to put
our country on the road to prosperity
undreamed of. The great West, but a
few years ago bowling wilderness,
has been developed by railroads into
the Invest, most progressive and most
prosperous section of the country. The
work has been done and capitalists are
looking for other countries to develop.
Their eyes are turned southwark. For
our country's sake, for our sake and
for the sake of our posterity, invite
them and assist them, don't discourage
them. The appeal is signed by some
Of the most prominent men of the
parish and by men representing every
section and every interest of the parish.
Read it:
We now make last appeal to you.
The Police Jury having ordered an
election to be held on the last day of
the year, December 81, 1886, to decide
whether Ouachita parish shall aid in
the construction of the New Orleans,
Natchez and Fort Scott Railroad, it
becomes necessary for the friends of the
enterprise 10 renew their exertions. I.
is of vital importance to the citizens oil
Ouechita parish that we should have
this railroad. We believe that large
| majority of those entitled to vote at the
election are in favor of the railroad, but
we may lose the election by over-confi.
dence every one staying away from
the polls will vote against the railroad.
1t is therefore absolutely necessary that
every friend, man or woman, princi.
pal or agent, shall vote for the tax.
Will you not take hold and see that
the voters of your ward who pay tax
on property attend the election an vote
in favor of the railroad? You have
influence, USE IT NOW in a way which
shall benefit all our people and star,
Ouachita on the high-road to prosperity
Relying on your energetic work from
now until the polls be closed we re-
main,

4 CONGRESSIONAL NOVELIST.

melted thereto by the success of sew
eral statesmen, Congressman Martin A.
Foran, of Ohio, is about to turn novelist.
1t is learned from one Of his most in.
innate friends, to when he impaired the
secret in strict confidence, that he is
laboriously engaged on a work of fiction
that will embody all his brilliant theories
regardless Of labor. The secret probably
leaked out because of his frequent pres.
ence in the Congressional Library lately
and the exhaustive course of reading in
George Eliot and Charles Reade he has
been taking. The novel will avoid the
blunders made by these deceased writers
in "Felix Holt" and Put Yourself in
His Place" At least five fellow states.
men will find a place in the book under
thinly disguised characters. The hero
will be a laborer who begins life as a
grinder Of rhubarb in a Lowell patent
medicine factory. He strives after self.
education. In the search for it he makes
the astounding discovery that the valu.
able cathartic does not ONE from
Turkey, as its commercial name would
indicate, but that it is really procured by
the Russians at Kiachta from the Chi.
nese. Having learned where that place
is he travels thither by the first steamer.
Then the action Of the tale becomes
more animated and the Chinese problem,
as presented at close range, is discussed.
The final denouement has not yet been
learned. The wedding occurs in the
forty.sixth chapter. and the clever Con-
gresham is said to have preserved a
complete file of the newspaper accounts
of the recent event at the White House.
In that event he will not want for ad-
iectives.

A MUawUMP'S VIEW OF rBE
PRESIDENT.

One Of the most independent Mug
wumps in the campaign of 1884 was DR..
William Everett, son of Edward Everett,
and Principal of the Adams Academy ct
Quincy, Massachusetts,. DR.. Everett was
one Of the most popular, eloquent and
effective of the Mugwump orators upon
the stump. He said frankly that he be.
longed to no party, unless he should be
considered a survival Of the old Wings,
and that he was not an Independent Re-
publican, as many other Mugwumps
were, but an Independent pure and
simple.
He has lately written a letter, at the
request Of the Springfield Republican, in
which he states his views of Mr.. Cleve.
lands administration, and the grounds
of his earnest support of it. 1t is q very
independent and forcible letter, and pre-.
sents the case in the ~clearest and most
ardent manner. DIR. Everett says that
he supported Mr.. Cleveland because he
had shown that he understood the bust.
ness of governing, Of which business
Mr.. Blaine, as Secretary of State, chad
made a mess" and he thinks that Mr..
Cleveland's recommendations to Con.
gress have been sagacious and compre.
hensive, and discloses a national policy
which would secure the success Of any
party.
In regard to the great task of appoint.
ment to office, DR.. Everett writes ener.
getically and in some detail. He points
out the actual circumstances, the neces-
sity of the Presidents taking advice,
and the want of any proper provision
for furnishing advice, and holds that the
true wonder is that in spite of the enor-.
nous difficulties Of his situation he has
done so well and has made so few objec-
tionable appointments. He reproaches
reformers and Independents for holding
aloof and requiring the President, un.
aided, to make no mistakes, when, with
all the assistance possible, mistakes are
inevitable. DR.. Everett states the case
as every Independent supporter of the
President feels it TO be. We do not
know one person who might be accepted
as a spokesman of the Independent sen.
timent whose view does not in general
coincide with that of DIR. Everett, al.
though many would ~criticise some things
more sharply. But there are thousands
of citizens who did not vote for Mr..
Cleveland who would cordially agree
that DIR. Everett's view of the Presidents
course as cautious, courageous, judicious,
and patriotic is wholly true.

The belief is gaining ground, OF late
years, that the method Of trial by jury is
behind the age. 1t was well adapted to
an earlier period of civilization, when it
was q safeguard against oppression.
"But who." asks the Sacramento Bee,
"does not believe nowadays that the in
terests of justice would be better served
were Judges alone, without jurors, left
TO decide all cases? The jury has be-
come little more than a means Of enabling
criminals to escape their deserts. In all
capital cases, at least, it would be well
to have a bench of Judges. rather than
one Judge. There would be far more
convictions than at present. The Grim.
iual classes aud the lawyers who practice
in criminal cases would not favor the
change, but such a reform would have a
most salutary influence in the general
welfare of society"

the costumes worn BY some OF the diplo-
mats, and the bright uniforms Of officers,
was most brilliant.

The SeaShore District Higl

known, considering the clrcumstan.

2. We have Il Sufficient number
of educable children in this town,
and whose parents are determined
to educate them, to make 1t IL fine
school.
3. There is an Immense area sur
rounding Harrisburg, thialy popu.
lated, IN which there no schools or
few ones OF short duration; making
it necessary to send the children
away from home to educate them.
A. Educational interests in this
part of the country have Increased
five hundreti per Ueiit: in the last
ten yeats.
8. Other surrounding schools,
under less favorable circumstances,
have Succeeded; We meilti0n Sa.

most successful.

expect the hearty co operation of

to contribute a specified amount TO

simply to make it Il better school,
