river front opposite the city. Along
this whole stretch, from the point
above to the point below the bridge.
the channel has been deepened from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. This fact
was ascertained by actual measure

government's steamer Howell. 1t
proves again conclusively the correct
ness of Eads' theory thai water confn-
ed to q narrow channel is bound to
deepen it.
The food waters Of Red river had
to pass in under the railroad bridge,
and were confined to narrow channel
in front of the city, and, per ccnse-
quence. the very bottom of the river
was washed away TO a depth Of l5 to

The boilers from the Monroe Con-

The boilers from the Monroe Con-
yention of August the 9TH assert in
their protest that the majority 10 to
lad violated the PRINCIPLES ofNhite
Supremacy and the expressed viii of
the people, This is somewhat
bold assertion to come from repre-
sentatives of the parishes who two
years before had agreed to the popu-
lation apportionment in the several
parishes regardless of race, color sor
previous condition. The very same
thing the majority of Is had properly
done, and the minority Of 4 bolted
from their doing, because If did not
agree with their sectional views.
The "nigger IN the wood pile" ac-
cording to the old saying, has be-
come great hobby with our friends
in the back parishes. They have
but few negroes in the piney woods,
and no doubt those negroes vote
almost unanimously with their white
friends, and their votes are counted.
Where then is the difference in the
status of the negroes, provided they
vote with their white friends, whether
in the piney woods where they are
few, or in the river parishes where
they are quite numerous? How can
white supremacy and its principles
be injuriously affected by the colored
vote, if the white supremacy and that
vote are in strict accord? If the con-
ditlon of things were reversed we
would find vastly different views pre-
scented by our piney woods friends.
1t is not entirely the quality of the
article that is complained of, but
principally the quantity. There are
too many negroes in the riverparishes
voting the Democratic ticket to
please our hill country friends.
These votes take away from them
the control of affairs, not by
the negro in person, for they never
appear in district. conventions that
we know of to interfere with white
supremacy.
The public records of the election
returns show explicitly the number of
votes cast for the Democracy in the
river and hill parishes of our district.
Now, these protesting disgruntled
boilers must, in their. sectional jeal-
onsly, want to prevent the negroes IN
the river parishes voting the DEM
ocratic ticket, or not want them to.
vote at all, in order that they may ex-
ercise the controlling power; i but if
they have their way in the former
they run up against a sangnine Repub-
lican candidate /; if the latter, they bnrl
themselves against the constitution of
the United States. II is not pleasant
by any means TO follow up the vaga-
ries Of our hill neighbors and watch
the almost sacred regard they now
show for the may March primaries,
and their utter disregard for their
own doings in the District Conven-
ton of 1890 But we of the valley
or river parishes have more than
political interest in the black man's
welfare. He is our cotton maker,
our agricultural, commercial aud our
financial dependence We are in duty
bound to conserve his welfare, be.
cause in SO doing We promote our
own. There may be many OF him, but
more are welcome, aud if our friends
OF the piney woods would interview a
few of them, they would find them far
from being the. benighted creatures
they so freely abuse.
