Gen. r. L. Gibson.

Our distinguished Senior Senator
has been elected as his own successor
He received lis out of 118 votes in
the Democratic caucus.
This is signal victory for General
Gibson, after the bitter warfare wag-
ed against him by portion of the
State press, and we cannot forbear to
remark, that the people seem to un-
derstand their own business and
wants far better than few very wise
editors who imagine that they form
and control pnblic sentiment and
opinions.
Gen. Gibson was a gallant and true
soldier during the war between the
States. He was an able and watch
full member of the United States
House of Representatives for several
terms, and so far, he has admirably
served his State in the United States
Senate. Whatever may be said about
others, the history of Congressional
Legislation relative to the MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley and it's water ways would
be very imperfect with the name of
Randall Lee Gibson omitted there.
from. In all Legislation upon our
'sgreat Inland Sea" he has borne con-
spicuous part with eminently useful
results. That the people should so
unanimously indorse him, is an evi-
dence of their appreciation of their
own highest interests and also of the
patriotic and able exertions of a faith.
full public servant.
Now let the Legislature make the
present able and industrious and
faithful Chairman of the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors of the House
of Representatives the colleague of
Gen. Gibson, and Louisiana will have
two working Senators of fine abilities
and practical statesmanship-one
from each portion of the State
Give us Blanchard as Junior Senator,
Messrs. Legislators!

The Solid South.

While the foes of this section are
wondering, or pretending to wonder,
why the South is 'solid," they are
continually assisting in its solidifca.
tion. The South has several times
nearly drifted away from the anchor
age of its security either through
susceptibility or lethargy, when along
would happen the great political
cementer, with his infallible glue, and
gather all the parts together as one.
The Radical Republican politician,
with his blood-shot eye and bloody
shirt attire, is great putter-together
Of certain kind Of fragments. He
aciU not let the South divide. To him
we are indebted for timely notice that
herculean efforts will be exerted to
revive the defunct Republican party at
the South and to put it on the footing
it occupied just after the war. By
him we are admonished of the designs
and movements of political enemies.
Of course, when we are thus fore
warned We gather ourselves into a
solid chunk Of Southern Democracy,
and we manage to remain that way
just as long as the Republicans pro-

appeals to sectional ignorance and
prejudice. What shall we say Of a
lot of political sharks who have to
insult the intelligence even of their
own partisans by rehabilitating the
fattened out old campaign fables that
were employed just after the war to
fool the colored voters and frighten
them into the Republican party! To
charge disloyalty to the South in the
vaguest shadow Of degree is only
less criminal in the villainous lip that
would utter it than it is dastardly
and imbecile in the dupe who would
believe. So long as there is any
considerable number of people else
where in the country who are fools
enough to imbibe the ibellous rot of
these liars and believe it, we of the
South will need no improvement in
our educational facilities, for we are
surely taught more and better knowl-
edge of our whole country than are
the blind followers of these blind
and brutal frauds.
And yet these blatant creatures
have their uses, we suppose, just as a
discarded hat and an abandoned
handle may make serviceable

ment, and few deny that the will of
the majority should govern and we
are satisfied that a large majority of
the people of the State are in favor of
Sunday Law. It will not be denied
either that this majority is composed
very largely of the very best, the
most peaceful, and most law.abiding
class of citizens. Why should not
their opinions be respected? The
object of the law is not to prescribe
any particular form for the observ-
ance of the seventh day, but to pre-
vent some portion of the population
from spending the day in way that
is obnoxious to the majority.
We do not advocate a puritanical
law, and we are not discussing de-
tails, but we insist that we'll con-
sidered Sunday Law should remain
on onr statutes. We also insist that
American ideas and views should
dominate and control this land, and
that a proper observance of Sunday
as a day of rest, is demanded by the
opinions of all English speaking peo-
Piles, and further, that mans highest
civilization will be promoted by the
legal recognition of day Of rest as
civil institution.

The State University.

There is 30 much in the following
communication to the "Shreveport
Times" that commends our approval,
that we reproduce it. The education
of the many should not be sacrificed
to the higher education of the few:
"The Times Democrat in an editor
ial says that bill will be introduced
at this session of the Legislature ap-
propriating $4,000 to establish a
beneficiary cadet system at the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college at
Baton Rouge. New Orleans to have
seventeen and each parish one cadet.
"Thatis, in plain English, the State
of Louisiana is to board seventy-threc
young men at Baton Rouge. Failing
to get students, the bait of free board
must be thrown in. The Times
Democrat speaks in glowing terms of
the State agricultural colleges of
Mississippi and Alabama, confessedly
superior institutions, the bulk of
whose graduates become farmers,
while the majority Of those of the
Baton Rouge college become profes-
sional men. At neither the Alabama
nor Mississippi college are there any
free boarders, and yet they are not
languishing with handful OF boys
like our Baton Refuge institute. They
draw less money from the State than
our college, and yet the poor young
man who wants to fit himself for the
occupation of farming can go there
and, by the labor of his hands in a
manly independent way, nearly pays
his expenses while he is getting a
practical as well as a scientific agri-
cultural education.
"The Baton Rouge school could be
abolished and the board and tuition
Of the students paid at Yale or Hav-
ard and the State would save money
by the job. The Baton Rouge school
cannot be rehabilitated by any such
process. If it fails to draw students
now, paying them to 60 there at the
expense of the taxpayers of the State
will not rehabilitate it.
"But there is another reason why
Louisiana should not take $40, 200
from the children who are growing
up in ignorance because they have
no schools. This $4,000 would
employ twenty-five teachers OF assist
twenty-five schools in neglected por-
tions of the State, and 625 children
would be the benefciaries instead of
seventy-three pets. I maintain that
there is too much money spent on
universities and too little on our
schools for the masses. By a proper
transfer of funds from the universi-
ties to the public school fund, 5000
children would at least receive suffi-
cient education to write their names
and not do as numbers are now doing,
making their mark. When we have
a public school system, which will
furnish a nine-months school for
every child of school age, and we
have money to spare; then give liberal
college appropriations, but not till
then. EDUCATION"

Louisiana Journal: "The Sunday
law of this State has ACCOMPLISHED
some good and no harm aud the peo-
pie of the State desire it to ramain
upon the statute books unimpaired.
There will be an effort made during
the session of the present Legislature
to repeal the law or to so modify it
as to render it practically a dead let
ter. We hope the Legislature will
decline to meddle with the Sunday
law"

The Shreveport Times of Tuesday
says: "a gentleman who reached the
city last evening informed the Times
that all places from Spring Bank,
Ark, to Col. Cummings plantation,
in this parish, are still under water.
A small portion of Dillon's place was
submerged. On the lakes, from Doc
ley bayou to Shreveport, the country
is one sheet of water. From Cum
mings' place to Pyron's work has
been resumed and the crops are not
damaged. The levees fronting on
Red River protected all the back
lands in that section of the parish"

large number of citizens participat-

were large numbers of the inhabi-

of limited means, were not able to
purchase lsnds at the high prices
prevailing in his State, and they
wished to immigrate to this State,
and that he wished to purchase 1O,-

fifty families. The members of the

A RAILROAD COMBINATION.
The Glendale and GarvamZa no IA d
to be Merged Into One.

The Glendale and Garvanza Roads
to be Merged Into One.
An important move has been made
regarding railroad building into Pasa-
dena, and will be officially recorded in
few days. Same time ago it was given
out that the Glendale motor road was to
build into the "Crown of the Valley" via
the Boulevard tract and Eagle Rock VAL
ley, and President Cross recent visit to
San Francisco was ostensibly for that
purpose: A project to extend the Gar
vanza road into Pasadena was mooted
by Mr.. Nathan Ccle, for after his pur-
chase of that line from Mr.. Ralph
Rogers, who also declared his intention
of building the road at this end to the
corner of Franklin and New High streets
and operating the line by means Of the
Julian storage system of cars. The
franchises were obtained, and then Mr..
Cole went East to obtain the necessary
rolling stock. He returned about two
weeks ago, and now the news is given
out that he has formed combination
with President Cross, of the Glendale
road, and that the two proposed roads
are to be merged into one. Mr.. Cole
was seen by a HERALD man yesterday
regarding the matter and stated
that the proposition as above given
was what was intended. "The Glendale
Road will not be built to Pasadena via
the Boulevard tract as was once an
nounced. but will turn off at the Arroyo
Seco bridge and nearly parallel the Cali
fornia Central Road running over the
rights-ofway that had obtained for the
extension of the Garvanza Road. A
change will be made at this end, for the
Glendale Road will run down to the
junction of Hoff and Haines street, and
from that point l will build road along
Buena Vista street to the junction of
Franklin and New High. I have made
an agreement with Mr.. Cross that all
passengers for Los Angeles are to be de-
posted at Hoff street, and from there
| will take the cars and bring them to
Franklin street by the storage system as
originally proposed. This change will be
beneficial one as it will throw the ener-
gies of the two roads into one channel,
and we will give the public service
that will amply satisfy all demands"

Mr.. White was very large. The cortege
proceeded to the Cathedral on Main
street, the following acting as pallbear-
ers: The Messrs. John Moriarty, John
Kenealy, James G. Kays, J. H. Dock
weller, William Wilson and John Grim
Minis. At the Cathedral q solemn High
Mass Of requiem was celebrated. Thence
the remains were taken to the Catholic
cemetery for interment. The arrange
ments were under the direction of the
Messrs. Peck & Mccoy.

on the wall is concerned, it would be
very easy matter, for the necessary rock
is obtained at Catalina Island, and
would only have to be hauled over and
dumped on the line of the survey. Up
TO last year we were working without
the cooperation of the railroads, for the
southern Pacific were making q good
deal OF money on account of the lighter
age, but the competition of the Santa Fe
mas altered this, and they are now ADJ xious

evidenced by the big wharf they
are building. Senator Stanford is inter-
ested in our project and when saw him
last summer, he heartily coincided in
what was presented and promised to aid
US all in his power"
MIR. M. M. Miller, of San Pedro, sus.
gested that the money necessary for the
| seawall be raised by means Of bonds
but it was pointed out that the Govern
ment would not allow this. While the
conversation was going on, General Van
dever entered the room, and it was
moved that DIR. Widney make his state
ment again for the benefit of the General
which was accordingly done. Mr.. Van
dever promised to do all in his power to
advance the intentions of the meeting,
ard then General Briefly
VOLUNTEERED A STATEMENT
Regarding the matter under considera-
ton. He said that the first appropria-
ton for the opening up of the channel
was made on the Sd of March, 1871, and
that about half Of the money that has
since been spent came within the next
four years. With sixteen feet at the
mouth OF the channel, there would be
twenty or twenty-three feet at high tide,
and steamer the size of the Santa Rosa
could enter. The Orizaba used
to 90 through easily enough, but
owing to the length of the
Santa Rosa, it is not deemed
advisable to attempt it with her. Two
and half miles from the wharf in the
inner harbor the "Glory of the Seas"
took soundings and found forty-two feet,
also reporting twenty feet for one mile
within his anchorage. Mr. Briefly
thought that before asking Congress for
an appropriation for seawall it would
be advisable to get $100, 900 more to COM
plete the entrance to the present harbor.
There is enough money on hand now to
finish up the dredging, but the
seawall should be extended SO.
as to better protect the en-.
trance. "And while we are talking
about this matter" said Mr.. Briefly, "T
wish to call attention to the necessity 81

Angeles should either be made porA of
entry or port of delivery. with deputy
collector in charge and a system (of

we would advance our commercial intAr-
ests thousand fold."
A motion to refer the barbor mattel
to the Commerce Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce was made by
Mr.. Van Dorm and carried.
Colonel Otis gave notice that at the
next meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce he would make motion to invite
Senator Stanford to come to Los An
geles and have conference with the
Chamber on the subject.
A vote Of thanks was then rendered to
DR.. Widney and the meeting adjourned.
