AN UPPER ROUTE FOR THE NICARAGUA CANAL

upper route is far favorable for the line OF the

Sound Reasons.

We reiterate that no amount of abil-
lty or talent can give to a new member
OF Congress the capacity for intelligent
II efficient service in behalf of his
constituents which is supplied by ex-
perience and familiarity with the de-
tails OF legislation and administration
OF the national government; and it is
for this reason, above all others, the

The genius which flashes it's rhe-
torical expressions of pathos or humor
alike thrilling the senses to tears or
laughter, seldom combines that calm
de~llberative reasoning which, on spec
ulative questions, discovers truth, and
N practical matters judges of the fit
ness OF the means to an end. "Fair
words butter no p%arsnips" for a people
who each year are becoming more
practical. The force of q mans char
acter, the truth of his position. the
soundness of his Judgment in business
pursuits, carries its impress from the

the days of Warmoth and Kellogg,
saw fit to attempt to bring into the
meeting a question of politics. He at
tempted to say that "he had not re-
ceived that hospitality when he came
to Louisiana, which he should have
Notwithstanding that this was
refused him on account of his politics.
He vas ordered down by the conven-
ton with very little ceremony.
Mr.. Morey stated that the chairman
had introduced the question of politics
into the convection. This was a false
hood, undisguised and premeditated.
The chairman's Offense was found in
the statement that she had never been
shown III act of discourtesy since he
came to Louisiana"-a statement that
had been made by nearly every
speaker who had been upon the stand.
Frank Morey may think that his being
a Republican may have caused him to
receive the "cold shoulder" from Lou
isianians, but he is entirely mistaken.
When Frank Morey came to Louis
lana, he sought his companions among
the negro c~onclaves in the swamps of
the Ouachita, with the Eliza Pinkstons
and other wenches of her class. In
the still hours of the night he might
be found putting mischief into the
heads Of these unlearned people and
exciting them against the white race.
He sought his companions. Did he
suppose hat decent white people
would descend to the ccsspool in which
he found genial companionship, to give
him the hand of welcome? Mr.. Frank
Morey made his own bed. On that he
should lie, and not attempt to go into
a convention of decent people to lie.
If he had any common sense, the man.
ner in which he vas put down on last
Wednesday should teach him that his
place is not amongst decent, sensible
men in Louisiana, even if lie is of
northern birth.

Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, open
ed the presidential campaign in that
State, on last Saturday, at Terre
Haute. He delivered a rafting speech,
arraigning in strong terms the Repub-
lican party for its many delinquencies.

about the effect of State pride on the
Indiana election, as may be seer by
the following extract from his speech :

THE CONVENTION OF AUGUST
4, 1888.

The convention composed of North
ern and Western born citizens, now
residents of Louisiana, held in New
Orleans on Tuesday last, was one of
the most pleasant, instructive and use
full assemblies ever held in this State,
and is calculated to effect a great deal
Of good towards turning the tide of
immigration southwark.
This will be an immigration, not of
paupers or Adventures, but of "honest
sons of TOLL who will come here for
the sole purpose of earning a support
for themselves and their dear mes.
A great deal of interesting and use
full information was given to the con-
vention by the speakers, who repre-
sented the various parishes of which
they We're residents, and brought
plainly to the front the wonderful ca
pacity Of Louisiana soil in the pro-
duction of every species of agriculture.
The addresses of DR.. Wilkinson,
President of the Board of Health, and
Mr.. R. E. Kerkam of the Signal Service
Bureau, showed by indisputable facts
and statistics, that in point of health
and climate Louisiana stands at the
head of the list of States in the Union.
The representatives in that conven-
ton were composed in a great part of
farmers and laborers, and many of
them were accompanied by their wives
and daughters. The experiences relat-
ed by them in reference to the treat
ment they had received from the peo-
pie of Louisiana, and in regard to the
hospitality that had been shown them
by the people among whom they had
settled and with whom they were liv-
ing, were unanimously the most flat
ter1ng testimonials of the generous,
social and open-hearted hospitality
and kindness that has ever character
lied the inhabitants of Louisiana.
The sessions of the convention were
continued during two days, and were
conducted with the greatest harmony
and good feeling. Prof. Knapp, of
Lake Charles, was chairman. A series
Of resolutions expressive of the views
of the members of the convention were
adopted unanimously by a rising vote.

ing made and formulated in the month
of August and published to the world.

RO4D

The Police Jury will meet on Mon
day coming to transact such business
as may come up before it. At its last
meeting it passed a resolution abolish
ing the office Of road inspector. 1t
would seem that there had been some
dissatisfaction with the prevailing sys-
TEN, and this determined the Police
Jury to the adoption of that heroic
treatment. Thus far the roads are re-
ported to have been taking good care
of themselves without the interposi-
ton OF road inspectors but as some
of our levees may need attention, aud
as the road inspectors were also levee
inspectors, it strikes us as advisable
that the Police Jury take some steps in
the near future looking to the reor-
ganizatiOn of the system.
We believe the Police Jury will soon
solve this vexatiOus problem. The
members are men of experience, who
have at heart the welfare of the parish
and may be depended on to do their
full duty.
While on this subject the SENTINEL
would suggest that the present road
law, with perhaps a few amendments
of small consequence, is just as good
as any that could be devised. The
law is all right; the trouble was in its
execution, or rather non-execution.

YUMA.

ZUMA, Aug. %,
Last evening there was an enthusiastic
democratic meeting at Yuma Center
which was addressed by Messrs. Hurst
and McEuiry, of Rock Island The Port
Byron brass band was in attendance, dis
cOursing fine music at intervals. Mr..
Hurst made a rafting good speech in
racy style. which commanded the atien.
ton of the audience. He started out by
saying that we had had over twenty years
OF high protective tariff, which the demO>
cratic party was anxious to reduce and
the republican party had professed to be
anxious to do the same thing. He read
from Mr.. Blaine's Twenty Years in Con
gress," to prove this and to show that
there was great prosperity between the
years 1916 aud 1857, when we had re-
ductlon of the tariff. He stated that our
present high protection was only intend
ed as a war measure, and no one ever
dreamed of its being permanent. That
all taxes upon wealth, such as the income
tax, etc, had been removed. those only
remaining which bore heavily upon the
labOring classes. After alluding to pen,
SONS, showing the number that had been
brought before President Cleveland in
three and half years, and the number
vetoed. he concluded by saying that he
believed that when the sun goes down on
the 9th of November it will go down on
triumphant democracy.
Mr.. McEniry made a straightforward
sheech. which, to say the least was very
