BACKBONE" RAILROAD swrND1E.


N. o. Times-Democrat, January 5:
The old Backbone" Railroad, legally
known as the New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and Vicksburg Railroad Com
pany, the mention Of which recalls
the devious practices of the high
chiefs of the Republican clan in
Louisiana in the palny days of rob
berry, ia again brought into notice by
the suicide in jail at Philadelphia
yesterday, of Willis Gaylord, who
had been charged by Frederick A.
Babcock, of New York, with fraud in
the negotiation of S515,000 of the
bonds of the now defunct Company
The New Orleans, Baton Rouge
and Vicksburg Railroad was scheme
inaugurated twenty years ago by the
leaders of the Republican party in
this State to rob the people. The
Legislature voted the Company sew
eral millions of dollars in bonds, upon
the sole condition that work should
begin by certain fixed date. On
the day preceding tie expiration of
time limit, swenty-five men were en-
ployed by those engineering the
steal, and a few hundred yards of
grading done. Upon this so-called
beginning of work" the State issued
the bonds, which were sold in this
city and abroad. It is needless to
state that not another lick of work
was ever done by the Backbone"
Company.
The line was designed on paper to
run on the east bank of the Missis-
sippi to Baton Rouge and thence
north to Vicksburg. From Baton
Rouge there was to be line north
westward on the west bank of the
Mississippi, through the Red River
Valley to Shreveport. The Missis-
sippi Valley now represents the
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg project;
while the New Orleans Pacific, now
a part of the Texas Pacific, repre-
sents from Baton Rouge Junction
to Shreveport, the line projected
through the Red River Valley.
To this old Backbone" road a
land grant was made by Congress.
The Texas Pacific, through the New
Orleans Pacific, got the lands donated
for that part of the line from point
opposite Baton Rouge to Shreveport,
though the settlers along the route
have made from time to time several
attempts to overthrow the title of
the railroad to the grant.
j. r. West, who once misrepresen.
ted Louisiana in the United States
Senate, was leading spirit in this
Backbone" fraud, by which most of
the Republican leaders of two de-
cades ago are believed TO have largely
prodted. The bonds had been lost
sight of for many years, but it seems
that Gaylord resurrected them, and
in trying to palm them off on New
Yorker was caught and imprisoned.
His suicide in his cell in the Phila.
deldhia jail recalls one of the malo-
dorous events of the old, rotten ring
of swindlers which the people had
well nigh forgotten"

SLUGGING IN THE HOUSE.

CONGRESSMAN on the Jaw.

Representative wilson SmaSneS a
Congressman on the Jaw.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2T.-The ill feel
ing developed in the house by the fill
clustering over the compound lard bill
led to a personal ARRAY this afternoon
between Representative Beckwith. of
New Jersey and Representative Wilson.
of Washington. The roll was being
called upon the ruling by Speaker Reed
respecting the calling to order of Rep
resentative Cannon, of Illinois, by Rep
resentative Enloe, of Tennessee, fer
words spoken in debate. Representa-
tive Mason, separated from Mr.. Cannon
by the width of one of the
sections of seats, was criticising
the latter for the tone of his remark
to which Mr.. Enloe objected. In the
row of seats between them sat Repre-
sen tatives Beckwith and Wilson, on
either side of Representative Lehl-
bach. They all took part, soto voce,
in the controversy. when suddenly Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Beckwlth were seen to
rise. and the former struck at the latter,
lightly touching him in the breast.
Lehlbach sprang between them, and
| Mr. Wilson was unable to reach around
him. Representative Williams, of
Ohio, anxious to stop the affray. seized
Mr.. Beckwlth from behind. and forced
him into his seat with considerable
vigor. At this, Beekwith turned his
attention to his supposed assail-
liant in the rear, and it
required the efforts of two or
three Republicans to prevent col
lislon. Mr.. Williams succeeded in as
surfing Mr.. Beckwlth that he had no
hostile intentions. and the latter re-
sumed his seat. The incident was over
in few seconds, and added but little to
| the excitement there existed on the
floor, but it was the occasion for jeer-
ing laughter among the Democrats VIII o
| witnessed it. The eagle and mace of the
sergeant-at-arms were hurridly brought
| to the scene of the conflict, and at its
appearance all was quiet.
Representative Wilson said after
wards, in explanation of the difficulty,
that Mr.. Beckwith had applied most
offensive epithet to him, and on the
spur of the moment he had struck him.
Representative Beckwith stated that
Mr.. Wilson had in the course of their
talk upon Mr.. Cannon's resolution of
yesterday called him liar, whereupon,
in the heat of quick temper he had APP
piled the same epithet to Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Beckwith expressed his regret that
the occurrence should have taken place.

REpUBTICAN NOMINATIONS.

While it doesn't possess any striking
elements of strength, the county ticket
nominated by the Republicans yester-
day is fairly good one, and it might
have some show for an election if it
we're not that the Democrats had a
much better ticket in the field. 1t is
just strong enough to stimulate the
Democrats. III the main it was a
substantial skid" victory; and while
the "Vanderbilts" made show OF
cultivating harmony, they had to
swallow a good deal of bitter med
icine. 1t was with a delight akin
to a fiendish glee that the "kids''
administered this medicine to their
ancient enemies and then rubbed it in
on them.
There was a pretty tough smash up
of the Citizens legislative ticket,eyen a
more general smash than the Democrats
gave it. A noticeable feature was that
there was no formal presentation
to the convention of the action taken
by the so-called Citizens committee.
fact that was partially confirmatory
of statement heretofore made by the
GLOBE that the so-called Citizens move
ment was never anything more than a
Republican trick to catch unwary Dem
ocrats.
The sensational feature of the conven-
ton, however, was the rouslng resolu-
ton pledging the senatorial nominees to
the support of c. K. DAVIS two years
hence. This was master stroke on
the part of the kids" and knocked the
whole underpinning from the " Van
derbilt" programme. The nomina-
ton of MERRIAM legislative delega-
ton was the whole game the Wander
bits" were playing for, and they lost
that just as they thought they had it..
Their full days work in the interest of
harmony counted for naught. They
had surrendered every other place on
the ticket in the confident expectation
that the MERRIAM legislative slate
would go through. 1t did go through.
but with proyiso to it that renders the
slate useless. If Mr.. DEAN and his
associates are elected, they will go into
the legislature with a muZZle OH the
mouth, collar around the neck, a ring
in the nose, and be led by CUsH DAVIS
partisan. There is not much indie
pendence in this method of making
nominations, but to party accustomed
to machine rule it is not a matter of
much practical concern vino runs the
machine.

WHERE THE FAT is.

The use of the figures representing
the dividends actually paid by the rail-
roads of the country the last year gives
an erroneous and disparaging idea of
railroads as investments. The report of
the statistician of the interstate COM
merce commission show that the roads
earned S320,00O,oO0 last year. This
would be an excess of IL per cent on a
cost of $4,000 per mile. The general
manager of the Burlington is quoted as
admitting this to be generous figure
for the money outlay of the roads of the
country on an average. The stock rep
resentation is about 1000 per mile.
This is considerably more than one
half water. The difference between
the actual and stock cost affords the
srich pastures that have fattened the
AWAY kings and enriched the con-
struction rings. The commerce and
production OF the country are burdened
by these fictitious investments.
