BAsTROPs NEED OF A RAILROADS

NEED OF A RAILROAD.
While the Telegraph Is free to admit
that Monroe stands In great need OIL
railroad facilities and is deeply
in the building of road to
Bastrop, the latter place, 1t strikes us,
is far more deeply concerned In this
matter than we are. Monroe already
enjoys some advantages In this respect
and only seeks to build up her trade
by additional lines, but with Bastrop
1t is different. Twenty-Five miles from
the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
Railroad and two miles from the
Bartholomew, every pound of mer-
chandIse that enters her doors must be
taxed with additional freight charges
for wagon hauling. This Item amounts
to no small sum durlnga year and In
the end is borne by the patrons OF
Bastrop merchants. With railroad
connection with the ", 8. 4 p. here
Bsstrop could get through frstghts at
rates very little In advance Of the
Monroe rate and therefore have no oc-
casIon TO fear any disastrous invasion
OF her trade territory by Monroe mer-
chants and at the same time secure q
large saving annually to her people
who, rs We have said before, have 10
pay the charges for wagon hauling
from this point. Just the amount Of
money saved to the consumer II this
way would be just that much more
cash spent with the merchants Of Bias.

But this is one Of the smallest con
siderations, we think, great a. 1t is
with our Bastrop friends. q so
A railroad would put Basirop In
direct communication with the mar
kets of the world and while expeditina
her business affairs would snergixe hel
already thrifty merchants and public
spirited citizens 10 a wonderful degree
It would open up the great parish Of
Morehouse, one Of the richest In all
this highly favored section, and the
result would be prosperity hardly
dreamed Of by her most sanguine
citizen. Trade would be bettered,
property values would increase, and
the general prosperity would be infused
into the whole people. ~
The Telegraph Is aware that the In,
teiIigent people of Morehouse and
Bastrop are cognizant of all these fact
aud 1t does not presume to instruc
them in what to do or how TO do 1t
but we think we will be pardoned fol

resources and advantages of their grea

Public ONCE is Not Private Property
IN. o. Picayune.1

The decision Of Judge King of tho
Civil District Court, in the case of two
harbormasters whose terms of Office
had expired, resisting the induction
into Office Of their successors who had
been duly authorized and appointed,
seems TO declare, Indirectly ut least,
that public Office Is not private pro.
perry. The Judges decision was not
really on the merits of the case, but on
the propriety of the means taken by
the ex-ofiicials to resist the incoming
of their successors.
They were seeking by the operation
OF an injunction to prevent their sue
cessors in Office from beng recognised
al such. They brought suit as indivi-
duals against the alleged iutruders,
aud the court held in effect that the
matter at issue was State affair and
not one of individual interest, and,
consequently, the plaintiffs had no
standing in court. Suit in the premises
could only lie in the name of tho State,
which could thereby take action to
bar out iniruders. Public Office is a
public trust, and ii is well to have the
fact emphasized AS much as possible.

Commercial Hoaor In France.

In their commercial transactions
Frenchmcn trust one another 10 an
extent that often strikes the foreigner
with surprise, but it must be admitted
that a change is working in this direc'
tion. Not many years ago bankrupt
cies were of rare occurrences in
France. The causes which led to
bankruptcy existed then as they do
now, but the fact of being a bankrupt
was considered such a crushing dis.
grace that traders used extreme pru-
dcncc in their dealings, and when the
times were bad sacrificed comfort md
pleasure rather than run the risk Of
not being able TO meet their liabilities.
Now bankruptcies in France are COM
MOI enough and their number is in
creaSiEg every year. Familiarity with
the idea has removed from the fact
much Of lis old social stigma. That
horror of getting into debt, which is
still characteristic of the French poo
pie, is much less SO than it was. Paris

4 Check to Civilization.

Sexual selection, which has doubtless
greatly influenced the development
and advancement of certain races, has
been imperative in China during
many centuries, because. under the
prevailing usages, the contracting par
ties have, before espousal, no oppor-
tunity TO judge of the strength, beauty
or intelligence of their conSorts. RO-
mantle love has no part in marriage
or its issue. This may be one of the
causes of China's arrested civilization.
and of the astonishing fact that her
astute people have invented nothing
and discovered nothing during hun
dreds of years.-Adele NJ. Fielde in
