a QUESTION FOR MOR.LIsrs

How far can the property interest of
a few individuals be allowed to stand in
the way OF the welfare of an entire peo-
pie? Such is the question that is dis
turbing the people OF New Orleans.
The encroachment of the Mississippi
river upon the territory of the city has
compelled the city to give up certain
part of its territory and fall back to a
more defensible position. That is, the
engineers decided that it was no longer
possible, by leveeing, to keep the river
out of that part OF the city known as
Carrolton, and they advised that that
district be abandoned to its fate, and
that new levee be built further up,
where it could protect the rest of the
city from overflow. The abandoned
district contains population of
several thousand, who as tax
payers have always borne their
part of the expense of keeping up the
levees, and who will also be taxed to
build the new levee that is to shut them
out OF the guarded limits and leave their
property to destruction by the first
high water. What is the duty of the
city of New Orleans to them? The
new plan means ruin to them. Is it
right to sacrifice their property for the
welfare of the rest Of the people? or are
the citizens of New Orleans in justice
bound to allow them compensation for
the houses and lands thus forsaken and
turned over to inevitable destruction?
This is a question for moralists to
debate. 1t is not new one. In many
shapes it has been presented to the
people. Was it right thirty years ago
to confscate billions OF dollars worth
OF the property of the Southern peo-
pie because slavery is opposed to the
general welfare? Is it just for prohi-
bitionists to propose the confscation OF
millions of dollars worth OF property
because the selling of Intoxicating
liquors is not for the public good?
These are all different forms of the
same question. Who can answer it
to what extent shall the few suffer for
the profit of the whole?

A Republicans View.
Editor Gazette,


DEAR SIR-Although old Republicans,
many of US voted for Governor Hogg and in
the main, for the Democratic ticket, believ-
ing it to be the best thing under the circum-
stances, but in the light of this alien land
law it seems as if it might have been the
worst. We send a poor wretch to the
penitentiary for taking q few dollars
but these people, sent as the servants of
the public, and sitting in our beautiful cap
itol.some through design and some through
carelessness, are robbing the best men of
the state. The more enterprising q man is,
the more he is doing to give employment
and to develop the state, the greater are
his sufferings and the greater his loss under
this cruel and unjust law.
If such law must be passed, why spring
it upon US during general depressionl Why
could we not have had little time to pre-
parea We thought we were sending men
who would hesitate and consider before
they passed laws affecting finance. There
seems no movement on the part OF

streets Of our cities and leok into the faces
of business men. Let them try to borrow
little money on the best of collateral.

A New Line to Texas.

The Memphis Commercial is authority
for the following statement regarding a
rumored Santa Fe extension:
New York dispatches confirm the report
that the Illinois Central and Atchisou COM
panies are interested in the construction of
a new line in the South BY it the Illinois
Central will obtain the shortest line from
Chicago to Galveston and Houston and a
large section of Southwestern Louisiana
and Southeastern Texas, while the Atchison
is let into heavy timber region. 1t is said
that the new road may eventually become
an exclusively Atchison property. 1twould
do much toward rounding out the Atchisou
system of roads which compete with the
Huntington and Could Texas roads. The
new road is the Texas. Louisiana and East
ern. 1t is to be built from Monroe, the ter
minus of the Montgomery branch of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa F'e, to the IRON
wood crossing of the Trinity river, forty
miles. From that point the direction of
the road is kept secret, but it may be said
that a comprehensive system of branches is
planned to tap the famous yellow pine dis
tricts of Southeastern Texas and Southern
louisiana. 1t is estimated that directly
tributary to the first forty miles, from
Monroe to the Trinity river, there are l5,
coo, 900 feet of timber, or Is, 600 carloads of

KERNEL POLK TALKS.
Quence.

| Kernel Polk had himself interviewed
at Topeka, Kan, the other day for the
purpose of telling the Jayhawksrs that
'the Alliance organization is more per-
| feet in the Southern states than il is
| in Kansas" OF course the Kernels
object in saying so was to stiffen the
back bone of the Kansas Alliance, and
if he had to stretch the blanket a trife
in doing so, no matter. 1t was all for
| the good of the cause. Glittering gen.
eralities always go without much ques-
tioning. 1t is only when men enter
into details that they often get tangled
up in their yarns, and become ridicu-
lous. Kernel Polk avoided particulars,
wherein he showed that he was par
ticularly careful and prudent Kernel.
He said, too, that in Kansas the
brethren sometimes kick out of the
traces. In the South they never do"
As to the first half of that statement,
he is doubtless correct. The average
Kansan is born kicker, unless be be
pensioner. If he should imagine that
one of the Ten Commandments operated
to reduce his income in the slightest.
he would plant his brogans on the dec
alogue and denounce Moses as an i'm
poster. If prior to 1890 he had
conceived the notion that the
sermon on the mount contained
word inimical to the tariff
he would have burned his Bible and re-
nounced his creed as q miserable free
trade production of the Golden club.
For twenty-four or five years he swore
by the tariff, knowing it to be plum
dering scheme, but trusting faithfully
in the power and willingness of his
party to make him a sharer in the
spoils. And it was only when he found
that the robber tariff was never meant
to benefit, but to plumber him, that he
began to kick against that too.
The average Kansas politician, big
or little, is a trimmer, time-server,
and, as Kernel Polk says, CHECKER"
The kernel is a trife mistaken. how
ever, in saying that in the South there
are no Alliance kickers. That is a
slight prevarication meant, OF course,
to shame the Kansan out OF his beset-
ting sin, and may be passed without
serious complaint. We all know, and
none better than Brer Polk, that the
Texas Alliance contains a good many
kickers who refuse to accept his sub
treasury humbuggery. There is not a
state in the South, perhaps, where the
same may not be said OF the Alliance.
The order is not by any means unit
down here, and we all know it. But if
by misrepr-scntlng the facts Kernel
Hocus-Pocus can solidify the brethren
in Kansas, let him blow as hot or as
cold as he likes and more power to his
elbow

But with Turkey-why, Turkey is sick,
and it is safe enough to despoiI her OF
an island here and there unless SONS
| other power steps in and raises an OBJ
lection.
That such objection will be raised is
pretty certain. Every nation of Eu-
rope is engaged in maintaining the
'balance of power"-that is, in keeping
the other governments from adding to
their strength. The autonomy and
territorial unity OF Switzerland, Hol-
land and Belgium would not be main
tanned for q month if it were not that
the five great powers guard them from
each other, not for the sake OF preserv-
ing the independence OF the weaker, but
to keep from making one of the great
powers stronger by the seizure of more
territory. But in the case of Turkey
it is somewhat different. The drie-
bund-a coalition of Germany, Austria,
and Italy, to which it is believed
England is party-is engaged in
checking Russia and France, which
are united by treaty of mutual obliga-
ton and interest. Russia will object
to this illegal and rapacious seizure OF
the territory OF a friendly power, and
then we shall see if diplomacy can
stave off a war by mutual concessions.
All of the other powers will insist in
coming in for share OF the spoils. AS
long as all of them can be satisfied,
peace may be maintained; but when
one of them makes up its mind that the
pie is not being cut up fairly, and that
it is not getting its share, there is
likely to be trouble.
As long as only Turkey is to be dealt
with the disturbance won't amount to
much. for the English navy can blow
the Turkish navy out of water
without an effort. The Turk may be
so outraged that, regardless of conse-
quenccs, he will rush into war, but
that in itself will amount to little, as
long as it doesn't drag others into the
row, which is most probable conse-

A BOLD STEP.

Should it turn out that the cabled re-
port is true, that British naval force,
acting under instruction, has seized a
seaport in the island of Mityleue, and
is fortifying it, there can be no doubt
that the peace of Europe hangs but on
a thread.
Mitylene-the ancient Lesbos-is at
present Turkish possession, though
the greater part of its people are
Greeks. The porte cannot fail to take
action on this fragrant invasion of Tur-
keys territory. We all know what
that action would be if Turkey were a
power capable of backing up its de-
mands with an adequate force. Had
the seizure been of German or French
or Russian territory, not twenty-four
hours would have elapsed before an act
ual condition of war would be on hand,
unless the English government should
hasten to apologize, disavow the re-
sponsibility of the act, and punish the
invaders of friendly powers domain.

sI75,0 was appropriated by congress
more than six months ago, is perhaps
accounted for by discovery that the
New York Herald has made. The
Herald charges that the extravaganza
of the billion-dollar congress has SO
nearly swamped the treasury that the
money is not available. Left with
practically no available funds on hand,
Secretary Foster is pursuing the prac-
tice of holding back appropriations to
the last possible minute" ''Ths policy
Of holding back appropriations was not
adopted on the spur OF the moment.
The subject was discussed at one of the
last cabinet meetings, and it was there
agreed that only such acquisitions as
could not by any possibility be delayed
should be approved. Where work is
not yet in progress, as is the case with
many of the public buildings authorized
by the last congress, the starting OF the
work is delayed and no money at all is
allowed to go out"
The object of holding back the money
now in the treasury, and amounting to
many millions, is to provide for the
October payment OF pensions, which
will call for about thirty million dol
lars.
That accounts for it. We must all
stand back. and public business must be
delayed, until tie pension grabbers are
fed. Then, out of what is left over,
we will get our share, probably, and
