THEY NTSTkTST THE WHITE
MEN.

This week has been a fatef.I one in
the history of Louisiana. The regular
Democracy through it's State Central
Committee, and the Fosterites, through
their State House ring rump Commit
tee, were assembled in the city Of
New Orleans, and the proposition of
an adjustment of the existing party
differences and of the unifcation Of the
Democratic party, were discussed and,
We regret to say, without any avail.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee warmly endorsed the plan of
unification proposed by Judge Meme
ry. approved the action of their Exeeu-
tive Committee in submitting a nropo-
sition for new primaries and a new
convention, and, notwithstanding the
fact that this proposition had beencon-
temptuously refused, by the Fosterites,
again renewed it, and, though the.
Democratic ticket headed by Sam. D.
McEnery and Robt. C. Wicklife. had
received the votes of an unquestIond
majority Of the delegates to the last
convention, the true Democrats signi-
fed their willingness and desire to
forego all these advantages IN the iu-
terest of harmony and party success.
The shriekers and fanatics of the
Fosterites who controlled in the
connciis OF their faction again arrogan-
tly refused this fair basis of adj ustment
proposed by the regular committee.
and positively declined to remit the
question to the white Democratic
voters of the State. Many leaders of
the Fosterites, like true patriots, VI ged
and advocated the adoption of the
proposition of the regular committee
but unfortunately, for Democratic unity
and white Supremacy, these were in a
hopeless minority in their ranks, aud
their appeal fell un~heeded. Many Of
these left in disgust, and will, DO doubt,
henceforth cooperate with the regular
Democracy.
The fight is on now. The Fosterites

The Fosterftes are shriekins them
selves hoarse over the fact. that the
Democracy are making preparations
to assert their rights by force of arms

doughty, leader, Ballot Box Stiffer
Foster, from his place in the Senate
announced the intention of his faction,
to use Winchestels to suppress the
Lottery. Now that the conspirators
against The freedom and fairness Of
tho ballot-box find themselves check
mated, they assumed good deal of virtu-
Gus Indignation.

OUR TIDE LANDS.
VIEWS REGARDING THE PLATING
OF THEM.

tFhe Extension of Streets to Com
form with the Plat of the City
Proper Capt. NEeMtcken sworn
I'm to succeed r.. w. Andrews.
About thirty citizens were in attendance
at the meeting of the Thurston county tide
land commission held this morning at the
office of the commission in the Chilberg
building. Captain McMicken, who sue
|ceeds e. w. Andrews, was sworn in, and
the board then received opinions regard
ing the plating of the land. Alfred Mar
tin acted as secretary and stenographer.
While no definite views were expressed,
the general opinion was that the lands
should be plated into lots and blocks in
conformity to the plat Of the city proper,
according to the present map, which has
been made by County Surveyor L. p.
Ouellette. All streets running north and
south are extended as far north as the end
of the long wharf, where the harbor line
crosses, and those running east and west
are plated $50 feet apart. All streets ex-
tending over the tide lands are plated
go feet wide. Some citizens favor fewer
streets by making the blocks $50 feet,
thus including two blocks of the present
size, and the street between them.
On the tide lands between the Northern
Pacific terminal grounds and the channel
of the Deschutes, three streets are laid out.
On this matter George Mottman contends
that two streets are sufficient, inasmuch as
they do not form the outlet for any partic-
ular thoroughfare, and would incur greater
expense to maintain.
NJ. A. Root, J. G. Horr, ]. Ell. Wilson,
Freeman Brown, Robert Frost, G. d.
Forbes, Chas. 6. Case, and others expressed
views on the matter. Mr.. Frost purchased
some improvements nearly 30 years ago,
and now finds that the meander line cuts
off about so feet of his property.
Mr.. Horr thought that the lands should
be plated into lots and blocks in accord
ance with the plat of the city, but that the
property on Third, Fourth and Fifth
streets, should be plated so as to face on
those streets; and also enable those who
have right to purchase, to purchase all
of those blocks.
In order to familiariZe themselves with |
the suggestions, the members of the board
this afternoon made a personal inspection
of the water front.
The local board of appraisers will tomor-
row commence the work of putting value
on the tide lands. The work will consume
some time but on just what basis the value
will be fixed they have not yet determined, |
They will meet again tomorrow.

The CONCERT Tonight.

The concert to be- given at the

charity and well deserving of the support
of all interested in the advance of educa-
ton. The people of Sherman valley, over
in the Black hills cannot afford the advan-
tages necessary to equip their children with
a common school education and this means
was adopted to raise fund for the con
struction Of a shool building. Constant re-
hearsal of the very best talent Olympia af-
fords will surely result in an evenings en-
tertainment well worth the price of so and
rs cents admission. Everybody is urged to
be present tonight
