Republican Senators to Make
Louisiana an Issue.
pecial to the Times-D Democrat.

Special to the Times Democrat.
Washington, June 1.-THE
Times-D Democrat pointed out
several weeks ago that the Re-
publican leaders in the Senate
would in some way try to make
party capital out of the recent
election i'll Louisiana.
1t will be remembered that in
speeches delivered by Messrs.
Sherman and ingalls, an attempt
was made to prove that Cover
nor Nichols had been counted
in by an impossible majority. To
this Mr.. Eustis very frankly re-
piled hat while he would not
admit the truth of the charge,
he would refuse to discuss it, in
asmuch as the election in ques-
ton was an election for State
officials, and therefore beyond
the jurisdiction seof the United
State Senate. This being IN
answerable settled the matter
for the time, although the Re-
publican leaders plainly intimat-
ed that it would be brought up
again. They determined among
themselves to wait until the
credentials of one of the new
Senators from Louisiana should
be presented, when they would
have an opportunity to unearth
the frauds they so fondly I'M
agined existed, not only in Lou
isiana but in the entire South.
This happened to-day.
The credentials of Mr.. Gibson
for the term beginning March 4,
1889, were presented. Mr..
Spooner moved that they lie up
on the table until Mr.. Hoar, the
chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, should
be present. The Times-Demo-
crat correspondent saw Mr.. Hoar
tonight. He said: "We intend
to look very carefully into the
manner in which the Legislature
that elected Mr.. Gibson and Mr..
White was itself elected. We
want to see if there is a popular
government in fact as we'll as in
name in louisiana"
This determination on the part
of the Republicans is only an
other proof that their party in
tends to gather material for an
other sectional fight in the COM
ing campaign. ;

Hints to our Farmers.

We are poor, and under every

Public Buildings
Special to the Times-Democract.

Special to the Times-D emocract.
Washington, June 1.-THE
friends Of the measure, now
pending in both branches of
Congress to provide public build
ings in all places where the an
nual postal receipts are at least
$4,000, have been much encour-
aged by an expression in Presi-
dent Cleveland's veto message
On the Bar Harbor public build
ing bill, which they think shows
that a general measure of this
kind will receive the presiden-
tial signature. The President
says:
II am decidedly of the OPT
MON that if public building is
to be erected at this place, of
which at present there seems to
be no necessity, it should be done
under a system which will not
give the pOStO1hce and the post
master there an advantage over
others of their class"
1t can be said, though, that
Bar Harbor would not receive a
public building under the gen.
eral measure, as it's receipts have
not equaled $4,000 for two sue
cessive years.
If the bill should become a
law, Baton Rouge would be en-
titled to a $4,000 building,
while Lake Charles, Monroe and
New Iberia would only get a
$4,000 building. T Mississip-
pi The following would get a
building to, cost $4,000: Column
bus, Meridian and Natchez.
