THE SILVER LAKE TRACT.

A Big Slice Given Away BY the CITY Council
OF all things that are bewildering,
they are the actions of the city coun-
Gil on some of Its off nights, and its
Thursday night session, 18th inst,
was certainly one of that kind.
At this meeting only six members
We're present, Messrs. Toombs, Her
old, Benjamin. Randall, Scofeld and
Youree, but judging from some
of their proceedings they were
surely wild set. This was
particularly instanced in the price
paid to assistant counsel to aid
Mr.. j. L. Hargrove in defending the
city's interest in the Silver Lake tract
in the United States Court.
1t will, no doubt, be astounding to
many to know that the committee APP

GOSPEL MEETINGS.

The meetings that have been held
day and night during this week at the
Opera-house have excelled any meet
ings in point of interest ever before
held in Shreveport. DIR. Wharton
come among us only a few days ago:
he came almost total stranger to all
except DR.. Penick and few others.
Now he is known to every man, woman,
and child. His style of preaching is
that of telling the plain and simple
story Of Jesus, and asking the people to
accept Him. DIR. Wharton's style is
one that gets close to every one befor e
they know it. He does not hold over
their heads the avenging wrath Of God,
but to the contrary, those pleading
words of Jesus and His loving and for
giving spirit. Combined with his elo-
quent and pathetic powers of oratOry;
his voice is unexcelled as sweet singer.
His beautiful and touching solos have
equal power with his eloquence in
reaching every heart. During the past
week the Opera-house has been
packed at night, the day meetings be-
ing very large.
This has been a week long to be re-
membered in Shreveport. We sin
cerely regret that these meetings close
Sunday night, and feel safe in saying
that there is no one in Shreveport that
has heard him but win regret his go
ing. With him viii go the prayers Of
a united Christian people, and sweet
and tender recollection o! his stay
among US by every one in this city who
heard him.

4 DltV to Yourself.

Friendship is sentiment which all
should cultivate, because it arouses
and puts in active operation the en-
nobling traits OF mankind. The mys-
tic tie of friendship, though not visi-
bic, is stronger than steel and more
lasting than fine gold. 1t teaches
constancy, charity, fidelity and self
sacrifice. It proves by argument
more forcible than words our duty to
those who have won this holy affec-
ton from us that we owe TO them as
sistance, support and Endorsement.
These teachings are sublime. but a
holier duty than this even is that
which each one owes to himself. That
it is the duty of every one to regard
the comforts Of himself and family
and to pay first tribute to their wants
and necessities. Hence when the
people of North Louisiana see that
their friends are charging more for
hardware and the necessities of life
in the hardware line than we are
they should look to their own inter-
ests and buy from

NO DANGER.

Judging from the call for Nortf
Louisiana editorial immigration con
vention as published in the Shreve
port PRoGREss, we would say
that we of the Southern
part of the State are not wanted II
this immigration move. In other
words, few newspapers in the north
ern part of the State have seeded
from the union of STATE, and in 'fu-
ture will run little kingdom Of their
own.
"A word TO the northern part OF
our great State, who wish to remain
loyal to the grand old pelican; Just
stand still aud hold your ground, and
when the smoke OF the battle has
blown away, the victory will be ours"
: New Iberan.
Our esteemed contemporary of the
southern part of the State need have
no fears of d serious disaster. The
same bugle that blew the clarion
note for the grand reform press de-
monstration with a big RI, at Alex
dria, souLded the call for the North
Louisiana Editorial immigration
Convention at Shreveport. The Alex
andria reform racket did not jar the
earth 70 any appreciable extent, and
we can safel y assert that its twin
brother, the prospective Shreveport
affair, will not dIsmember the State.
Shreveport Times.
You WILL show your littleness ever
now and then, won't you, neighbor?
Well Well neither complain nor con-
demn because you are not responsible
for your nature and disposition. You
were born small and grew into a pig
my only. If you hau the moral cour-
age of the size of Il. stard seed you
would be power in this country, but
as it is you are generally regarded as
BAG OF WIND only, simply bag of
wind.
For the information of our mis-
taken frie63, the Iberian, we will
state that this convention was con-
fined to the Northern part of the
State because the interests of the two
sections were so dissimilar. There is
no unfrisndly feeling in the matter
at all, as we have the most profound
regard for our brethren of South
Louisiana, and great respect for their
energy and push. But you know
Penn, that the same class OF immi-
grants is lot desired for the two di-
visions ef our State, geographically
speaking, and for that reason, as well
as the belief that the governor would
look out for your people, some Of us
thought il best for this section to at
tend to its own wants, never dream
ing that il would be misconstrued.
But, Wattsl the convention will be
a success despite the ridicule of the
Times which, we think you believe
with us, can be actuated but by two
motives only; first, because it was not
solicited to take the lead, and second
because it was afraid sits business
would be injured by the move" But
Just wait until the work has been
done, the 6anger (if any averted and
everything in good shape for success
and the hurricanes rear will be a
whisper in comparison to the howls
of this daily journal, reciting the fact
that it has always been an advocate
of immigration, etc, and was the
sole, own and only champion of the
measure" But it is useless to &C
further. You know the Shreveport
Times as well as we do, and no doubt
you have long since measured the
spirit of its criticism.

agreement. Such recklessness was
ably fought by Major Scofeld, but he
was overpowered in the following
manner: Ayes-Toombs, Herold,
Beniamin-3; nays-Randall, SEQ
field, Youree-3. This making tie.
the mayor cast his vote in favor of the
motion.
The council has disappointed many
of the citizens by this measure.
Many had looked forward with con-
siderable pleasure to the time when
this body of land would be the pro-
perty of the town beyond serious con-
tention. The town had bestowed
many compliments on this admins
tration for having secured
valuable piece of property
and was not prepared for
the reckless extravaganza displayed
towards MIR. Elstner. Mr.. Elstner
is clever gentleman and has many
friends in Shreveport who like him,
but great goodness. not we'll enough
to make him such a magnificent gift.
OF course Mes5rs. Vinson, Benjamin,
Toombs and Herold have the right to
give Mr. Elstner or any one else, as
many lots or any other costly pres
ents as they choose, but in the name
Of right don't make the city pay for
them, under guise of employing an
attorney to assist in closing battle
which has already been won by
another.
To say nothing of this beng an ex
orbitant fee, one entirely beyond the !
limits of right and reason, it is
unjust to Mr. J. f.. Hargrove,
who has labored at this work with as
siduous devotion for II years and .
who was paid a like fee. one-eighth
Of the property. As everyone knows,
Mr.. Hargrove had already performed
the lions share of the labor, in fact,
nad practically done all that Is to be
lone, and it will strike the average
person that aside from the enormous
amount allowed Mr. Elstner, it was
IN act which Disseminated very con-
'iderably against Mr.. Hargrove. The
act that he only asked this amount,
while Mr.. Elstner may have demand
I'd even a larger one than ne was
cuts no figure in the case ex-
,ept it be to operate against the one
making the excessive charge. 1t is a
strange doctrine which the council
las presented by its action, rather
Unsafe example it has set by reward
ng those who demand large sums
'or little service.
Now, of course, We do not censure
MIR. Elstner in the least. He is a
awyer and from our knowledge of
hem they generally ''size up mans
pile" demand everything he has and
then take what they can get. They
believe in the vulgar adage, when
you catch a sucker bump his head"
and but for the fact that Messrs.
Vinson, Toombs, Benjamin and Her
old were handling the property of
others and not their own, they would
have knots on their heads much
larger than the natural Uranium. For
in the language Of the little negro,
Mr.. Elstner did "sho" carry out the
spirit of the aphorism. But taking
all things into consideration, we sup
pose that the town should feel thank
full that it escaped as fortunately as
it did, for when we consider
the extravagant state of the four ger
tlemen's minds at the time, the tax
PAYERS are indeed fortunate that these
four did not give all the land to MIR.
Elstner and then vote him mill
tax and pay him big fee to try to
make 1t constitutional.
