The Legislature.

In q few days the representatives
of the people will assemble at Baton
Rouge for the term Of sixty days, to
enact such laws as may then seem to
them most needed. There are a
number Of measures vitality impor-
tant to the people that require &C
ton by the Legislature. Among
others may be mentioned
/. The creation Of q railroad COM
mission to prevent discrimination by
railroads in the matter OF freight and
passenger rates between certain
points.
2. To re.establish the beneficiary
cadet system al the Louisiana State
University, providing for the ap-
pointment of seventy five beneficiary
cadets, or one from each parish, and
seventeen from the city of New
Orleans.
3. The introduction of an amend
ment to the States constitution ION
which the people shall vote at the
next general election) abolishing the
circuit Judge system-tbat worse
than useless fifth wheel to our
Judiciary which entails an annual
expense to the State Of $780, 00 or
$4,000.
4. The enactment Of a law Civ
ing magistrates Justices Of the
peace final jurisdiction over petty
cases.
5 The abolition Of the useless and
silly law requiring sherif's sale q.
e. seizures) TO be made on the first
OR third Saturday of the month.
The adoption of these and other
measures which we will not here
e0umerate, and the repeal Of a nam.
Der of evil laws, are urgently re-
quired and should receive the
earnest attention and consideration
of every legislator who has at heart
the welfare of his State.
We trust that the work of the
session of the Legislature, beginning
on 18th inst, will be Of such a
nature that upon it's adjournment
the people will be able to say:
"WelI done, good and faithful SER

UnderbiEling by Railroads.

The workings of the interstate
commerce law. which has now been
in existance for over a year, have
resulted in the breaking up Of many
of the most obnoxious features Of
freight discrimination by common
carriers. But while this is so, it is
also equally certain that it has in
augurated many devices more or
less ingenious, whereby the provi.
sions of the law are nullified. The
shrewdest and most important of
these devices is the system Of sun.
derbilling." By this device the ship.
per pays freight upon a less amount
of freight than is actually carried.
which is %tantamount to paying a
reduced rate on the gross quantity,
thus creating a form Of discrimina.
ton, a less rate being charged some
shippers than is charged others for
a like service.
So extensive has this practice be-
come in some sections of the coun-
try that a number of commercial
bodies have brought the matter be.
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which, after investigation,
has pronounced the complaint sub.
stantiated. While the commission
held shippers mainly responsible
for the abuse, the carriers are severe
ly censured for their connivance at
the practice. As a result of its in,
vestigation the commission has an
nounced its concurrence with the re.
quest from the various commercial
bodies for an amendment of the
existing law, imposing a penalty
upon shippers who by false billing,
false classification, false weighing
or false report Of weight or other
devices obtain transportation for
their property at less than the
regular rates.-Picayune.
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1888-05-12

The subject Of building a railroad
from Denver (Coi.) to New Orleans
is being favorably spoken of, and no
doubt if such is accomplished the en-
terprise would prove one Of the great.
est and most beneficial to the Ores.
cent City ever yet suggested. New
Orleans is so ~favorably situated in
every respect that it could be made
the great seaport for the entire
West for the shipment of their pro-
ducts to foreign ports, as we'll as q
good market to purchase many OF
their supplies. Let New Orleans
now wake up to a sense of duty
stretch forth its briarean arms and
grasp the golden opportunity that is
now offered it, and soon thereafter
it would rival the largest seaport
city on this continent.

Notice to Assessors.

Hon. o. B. Steele, auditor Of
public accounts, has prepared the
following circular for the informa-
ton of assessors:
Section Sc. Act 1913 of 1885,
And the assessor for each parish,
excep: Orleans, shall, in addition to
his compensation as tax assessor, be
entitled to a salary of 5000 for each
year in which a general or special
election is held, payable on his own
warrant, approved by the governor"
Dear Sir-Your attention is cal
led to the above paragraph in Sec
ton SO, Act 1913 of 1880, from
which you will see that your com
p~ensation as registrar is paid in
shape Of a salary for the year in
which a general or special election
is held, and therefore is not due in
this instance until after the election
in November next.
Very respectfully,
0. B. STEELE.

The Late Election.

Editor Abbeville Meridional:
AT last the contest is over, and
peace, if not happiness, reigns in our
midst once more. The local cam
paign was long and bitter, replete
with vituperations and coun1ervitu.
perations, 4 great deal Of bad whis'
ky poured out, but little blood shed.
Business, in consequence, has been
unsettled, farm work delayed, and
in fact every thing he's been out
OF Joint.
10 an observer some phases OF the
campaign have been both amusing
and disgusting; for instance, the
