Buildin: the South.

lkkx0k11A. L
We arc factors in the work Of
building the South. AS such it is
our duty to bring to bear Our inf1u.
ence and our energy, materially and
otherwise, to its accomplishment. A
wide road is open before us-slould
we prove recreant in accomplishing
what we must consider to be our mis-
sion? If so, we would not be doing
our duty as progressive American
citizens. Georgia is conceded and
truly to be enlightened. She has
manufactures. colleges; and her
statesmen have a underworld fame
she has also railroads. We must
not say hal we are helping to build
the South when We lie supinely for
fortuitous events which will never
come to drag US out Of the mire.
No, we shall never take our place
amongst prosperous communities
until we are willing to, and seize the
bull 10y the horns. Let US say that
we will have a railroad notwithstand.
ing the storm Of objections raised by
the old mossbacks in our MIDST and
those whose interests are opposed to
the general welfare of the people at
large. We should all put our should
ers to the wheel and not relent till
the snorting Of the iron monster
wakes the echoes of the stalwart
lords Of the forest which fringe the
banks Of Vermilion bayou. Jean
erette must be our objective point.
The residents of that community
desire to have communication with
US. They are willing to help US in
the prosecution of the great work;
and besides, it is not a giants under
taking to construct this road. We
have nothing to lose, but our parish
will have the brightest future in
store for it after the completion of
the road. We can dare say that no
other section of our State enjoys
the same privileges that our section
is blessed with; only, we are hemmed
'up SO that its virgin soil must keep
locked up in its bosom its dormant
fecundity. We can not account for
the apathy Of our community. Let
Us hope that we are not appealing
in vain to the mass of our citizens
on this subject. Let Us then buckle
on the armor Of progress and enter.
prise, and take a front rank with
the advance guard. Railroads bring
immigrants and wealth to a country.
An increase Of population has the
tendency Of enhancing the value of
every acre of land throughout the
State, swell our revenues to an en-.
ormous amount, and aid US annually
in paying our heavy taxes by light
ening the burden on each and every
taxpayer OF the State. Let US be
up and doing, and not prove our.
selves drones in the busy hive of pro.
gressive life. Onward, and to the
front, should be our password, and
not be found tagging or wanting in
the enterprises of the day that
elevate men in the estimation OF the
progressive world, build cities and
develop the vast resources of IN.
known countries, and add wealth
and prosperity to each and every
community.

The second annual reunion of the
Confederate cavalry, which took
place in New Orleans on Monday,
the 4th instant, was truly a pleasant
and brilliant affair. After marching
through some Of the principal streets
the veterans rendezvous at Washing
ton Artillery Hall, where a sumptu.
GUS repast was prepared for the
participants. To say the time was
pleasantly spent would only give our
readers a meagre idea of the great
;, joy aud happiness which was SO
plainly depicted upon the counte-
nance Of each and every one present.
The tables fairly groaned with their
laden, weight Of d%elicacies as we'll as
substantials to appease the appetite
of all those who sat before them.
Among the many notables present
was the daughter of the Confeder.
acy, Miss Winnie Davis, Mrs. E. j.
Nicholson and Mrs. Mary Ashley
Townsend. After many toasts and
a couple Of poems being read tattoo
sounded, when the little army of old
veterans broke ranks to seek their
tents, only to await, however, the
next sound of the bugle calling them
to boots and saddle.

The editor of the New Orleans
Lantern is now serving out a sen.
tence OF three months in the parish
prison, having been convicted of
criminal libel, and when the time
expires in default of paying a fine of
$3.50 and costs, he will sojourn there
three months longer. Inasmuch as
the irate editor Of the Crowley
Signal is an ardent admirer of and
addicted to aping that species of
journalism which has made the
Lantern Infamous, it might be well
for him to pause in his rabid assaults,
heed the warning conveyed by the
example, and forsaking the ways Of
wickedness return once more to the
paths Of peace and pleasantness.
Fraser and Criss, the Oldenburg
murderers, and Thomas Wright, who
murdered Quincy Keels, will be
hanged at Charleston April Is.

WILL THERE BE A CUT,
The Mysterious Meeting of superIntend-
ents at Omaha.

Why Mr.. Brinkerhof and other i'm
portant personages should come to Omaha
for the purpose of making up a time card
has been a question in railroad circles for
several days, the Republican says. 1t has
also been a question as to whether they
ever had an intention to change the time
card. Among the employees there has
been an impression that the meeting was
held for the purpose of considering the
~advisability of reducing the wages of the
men. The men are prepared for such an
action, and in such event there will be war
to the knife. Besides the Union Pacific
engineers, tiremen and brakemen who will
be affected by the action, there will be a
sympathetic action of fellow workmen all
over the country that will affect IN
more seriously than even the employees
imagine.
Fifteen thousand telegraph operators
will join in the strike against a reduction
of wages. According to the officials, a
time card was adopted, which was the
sole work of the meeting. The Chicago
& Northwestern and the Union Pacific
will run a joint vestibule train. 1t will
commence Feb. I. Leaving Chicago at
$50 p. M. it will reach Omaha at 10 a.
m, and Denver at 5 a. IN. 1t will leave
Denver>at $50 p. M, reach Omaha at
$40 D. ~, and Chicago at 9:25 a. m.
1t is now thought that the passenger
from the east will arrive at Cheyenne
at las or > p. M, and at Laramie at 5

AN uNFoRruNarE FAMILY.
Three Of -Four Die En- Route from Ire
LAND to Nevada.

Bessie Madden was the name of a 10.
year-old girl aboard last nights belated
west bound train. She was an engaging,
fair haired child who has had more thar
her share of reverses.
Five weeks ago the Madden family, in.
Guiding father, mother, Bessi and an in.
FAINT, left an altogether undesirable home
in Ireland intent upon joining relatives Al
Carson, Nevada. Jas. Madden, the
father, died the second day out and hi:
body was cast into the sea with appropri
ate ceremonies.
The widow and children halted at New
York for rest. Grief and worry made
Mrs. Madden i'll and lack of proper care
caused her death. The infant soon fol.
lowed Its mother to the grave and little
Bessie was left entirely alone in the great
city. She was assisted by charitable
strangers who furnished her with a big
basket of food and some money and
placed her aboard a west bound train
with a letter to conductors.
The child does not realize her situation
and was overjoyed with the prospect of
soon reaching her new home in Nevada.

An entire Golden Gate special train,
being five duplicates of the magnificent
cars now IN service has been completed,
and with the exception OF the baggage
and dining room cars now on a trial trip,
is awaiting orders at Omaha. Opinion is
divided as to whether there will be two
trains before the service is made from
Chicago to San Francisco instead of from
Omaha. The fact that another tain has
been built is evidence that the company
is satisfied with the special project from
a financial standpoint.

The Nevada FugutIYes.

A Nevada deputy sheriff gives the
Rock Springs Miner this story of the
crime of Mr.. and Mrs. Potts, recently ar
rested in the coal town charged with com
hitting a murder in Nevada:
"a man named Bassett was stopping
with the Potts family at Elko, when
suddenly be disappeared, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Potts presented a bill OF sale for
his horses, wagon and general effects.
Suspicion was aroused but the body, al
though dillgent search was made, could
not be found. After Potts left, the
family who moved into the house was
cleaning out the cellar one day and they
removed a bench that was standing up
againt the wall. Noticing hat the earth
was very loose behind where the bench
stood, the occupants Of the house pros
pected a little. when, to their horror, they
uncovered a human body. Both legs
were broken and the body was greatly
disfgured, as if an effort had been made
at one time to burn it beyond recognition.
The sheriff was promptly acquainted of
these facts with the results above stated.
MIR. Potts while be lived in Nevada,
was regarded as a quiet, peaceable citizen
but Mrs. Potts did not bear so good a
reputation"

ONE OF THESE DAYS"
An ExpI ession from Delegate Carey
on Statehood.
Result of The Leaders" PubIica-
ton of Statehood Interviews.
Mr.. Carey Working to Build up the
Right Sentiment.

Some two weeks ago TIE LEADER re
printed a large number OF encouraging
statehood interviews with leading terri
torial citizens published in the New York
World. So great was the demand for
the issue that several editions were
printed. D. W. Gill sent a copy of THE
LEADER containing these interviews to
every member of the senate and house of
representatives. Yesterday Mr.. Gill re-
ceived a letter from Delegate Carey as fol-
lows:
II thank you very much for the inter
est you have taken in the statehood mat
ter. The interviews published in the
New York World and republishcd in TRE
LEADER having done an immense amount
of good in placing Wyoming territory in a
proper light before the people. These in
terviews have been widely reprinted, in
many instances in newspapers without
giving credit to the New York World.
The conservative Philadelphia Ledger
abbreviated it very much and printed it
as original interviews. The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette had a long article on
the subject.
I'VE will get in as a state one of these
days. have not at any time had much
hope that anything would be done for us
in this congress. l am doing what [ can
to help build up the right sentiment with
reference to Wyoming and Idaho. Very
truly yours,
JOSEPH NJ. CAREY"
The World article was furnished by
Mr.. Joseph A. Breckon OF this city, and
aside from the statehood proposition
has done the territory an immense amount
of good.
