Let Us Reason Together.

acterlzlng the repeal OF the rail-
road ordinance by the police jury
as "a Lamentable Blunder," are
said to have caused considerable
soreness in some quarters, and the
intimation has been made that our
columns are to be flooded with
communications on the subject;
but as yet they have not come to
hand. Really we should like to
have communication on the sub
iect, for we are curious to know
what kind of arguments can be
adduced in support of the absurd
fallacy.
As we intimated last week, the
arguments in favor of the ordinance
have not even been stated in these
columns; and they are SO numer-
Gus and so patent to a thinking
man that we are 10th to go into the
discussion at great length. 1t ap-
pears that our farmer friends have
taken up the idea, or been led into
it by a few cranky croakers, that it
is injurious to their interests to
exempt from taxation for a short
time railways that may be built
through this parish. Equal rights
to all, and special favors to none"
is the cry of these dealers in soph-
istry. Do these gentlemen wish
the government to withdraw the
special favors it affords to settlers
to pre-empt and homestead lands?
Do they propose to tax the capital
that might be invested in this
parish to manufacture cotton cloths,
or build oil mills, and thus give
employment to our resident citizens
and afford market at our doors?
If they do not propose to carry out
their line of action thus far, will
they please tell us when and where
they propose to stop?
Now, here is company of gen.
tlemen standing at our doors, pro-
posing to help us build a railroad
through the country, for the bene-
fit and convenience of the entire
people. They offer to let our Bro.
Bruce, Bro. Irwin, or any other cit
izen take stock, and will allow them
to pay for their stock in money or
lands. After they have an assur-
ance of sufficient stock to justify
commencing operations they pro-
pose to issue bonds, and on these
bonds they propose to negotiate a
loan of millions of dollars in cash
with which to build the road. On
this loan they will have to pay in
terest, and the probability is that
the interest will have to be paid on
this money for the next fifteen or
twenty years, as it will be lmpossi-
BILE to pay running expenses, keep
up repairs, pay interest and also
return the borrowed money inside
of that time. Is it worth anything
to the people to have this vast
amount of money expended in their
midst? Is it anything to them to
be able to save 75c and 81 on every
bale of cotton they ship? Would
it benefit them to save SOC on every
barrel of -four consumed, 81 on
every barrel of pork used, and
have general reduction of Is and
20 per cent on every article of
home and farm consumption? What
would they lose if they got 25c in
stead of 15c for chickens, Zoe in
stead of 10c for eggs, and 81
bushel for hickory nuts instead of
letting the hogs eat them up?
Come out of your holes, friends,
and let us have reason for the
faith that's in you, or else own up
that it is all a mistake, and you
have been led into false and un-
tenable position.

street-car tie-up to-day beyond the fact
that all the roads that ran cars yesterday
are running again to-day, most Of them

the Belt Line started ont boldly
this morning. At 8 o'clock this
line had fifteen cars running. The
first car on the downtown end of that
line WAS preceded and followed by pa
troll wagon filled with police, but the
precaution was unnecessary, for all the
cars that followed proceeded without
molestation Very many OF the strikers
are applying for re-engagement, but
