THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE.

Even the most conservative must
have lost patience with the railroad
committee appointed by the Board OF
Trade some months ago. The public
has been patient and the most lenient
charity has been extended this
committee by the people and for this,
has that public received moth
ing but absolute indignity.
Arrogating to themselves the
power of car these gentlemen have
treated their creators with that alb
solute contempt which an irresponsi-
bic monarch extends towards the low
est vassals of his sovereignty.
What has the committee done? the
public demands to know, has a right
TO know. Are we but wards that this
committee shall exercise tutorship
over rs and accept or reject PROPOSE
tions without consulting the taxpay-
ers? Have not the taxpayers the
right to say whether they will accept
or reject a proposition? Assuredly
YES. and we think the people have
been Il ea.ed with great indifference
in fact with grave discour-
tesy; and we think it is ex
ceedingly charitable to say that
this committee has acted with small
and the members should
not be surprised when they know that
the public has been shaking its head
with suspicious motion when the
subject has been broached. 1t is due
all for this committee to make pub |
ic report and give an account of its |
stewardship; and if not, let some of |
hat body who has the courage to do /
so, speak out and tell where lies the

signing politicians to debauch the
ballot-box, render nugatory the will

not the choice of the people.
Whereas, in the interest Of good.

5s necessary .hat the State Of Louis

house below and above 1t presents

CHEZ and market master are to be
commended by setting an example -
the people Of this city. IN view Of
the fact that 3. hot summer is now at
hand and it is in order that every cit
lisa should look well to his or heI

which are not rei3DSe-t until taR bar
rel will refuse. to contain Gn0tner
drop, and when. removed by the slop
man, their neighbors have to go away
from home to get n fresh breath of
air. All this can be avoided by pour
ing the slops in the sewerage and
keeping a box or bucket for such as
will not pass through the sewer. We
can not be too particular IL regard to
thsi matter. in view of he fact tha!

Why Will You Do So?

Every day we hear the query "wby
Will people do 50 and sol" Why will
this or that man persist in following
out certain course when it is obvi-
Gus to all that it is costly custom OF
practice. While this is true, it is GER
tainly phaze of human nature. We
often see men who are accounted
gentlemen of good business qualities
doing things which absolutely should
rob them of the claim. But they
seem welded to certain idols, and
however costly the information they
still worship the same goddess. Now
this is all wrong and should be abol-
ished. Therefore we say to the trade
it you want bargains in hardware,
agricultural implements and general
hardware goods come to the
SOUTHERN HARDWARE COMPANY.

YESi 1T Is FUNNY.

The risibles of the Baton Rouge
Advocate have been raised by the
meeting of the five editors at Alexan-
dria on April p, and every time that
journal thinks Of the attempt to re-
form the election laws OF this State,
its 'mirth breaks forth in incontrolla-
bic. hilarious laughter. Well now the
proposition is funny, we admit; that
is to say from the standpoint of the
Advocate, it must be ridiculous, for
who should dare to intimate that an
election law which placed the present
executive in his position was not ali
that was right and proper?
But there is one thing connected
with the resolutions of the five edi-
tors and the attacks made on them,
which no doubt strikes the average
thinking person as being somewhat
peculiar, and that is the belief on the
part of the administration organs
that it is blow at our governor. Now
why should the condemnation of an
iniquitous election law be an attack
on the executive? Is this claim but
the outcry of tortured, guilty con-
science? Does the crown vex, chafe
and make uneasy usurpers head?
Oh thon conscience thou righteous
Judge whose untrammeled opinion is
infallible, and renders to each what is
his just due is it thy voice which
goads others to write and in SC doing
reveals to the world the secret of un-
holy doings?
But let us read from the Advocate:
A strange sort of delusion seems to
have settled down upon them, and
men like Murphy j. Foster and many
leaders of acknowledged purity and
patriotism, who haye for years striven
to secure this much needed end, are
actually looked upon as enemies who
have to be be'eagured and slaughter
ed before anything of this kind can
be accomplished.
Oh Innocence! sweet Innocence, {,
why hast thou left thy starry realm to
mingle with the affairs of men? How
child-like and bland this is. If the
walls Of the Statehouse could but
speak, if each corner and Granny of
the rooms of the building were allow
ed voice how they would laugh at
this softly, purring language. Was
the Advocate at the last State conven-
ton? If SO let it tell to the world in
earnest, honest language what it was
that made the nomination of the
present gubernatorial incumbent pos.
sible, probable, certain. Let it tell in
language composed of "the truth" the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
why it was that New Orleans gave
Adams not single delegate, and sent
to Baton Rouge no protest. Yes tell
it, brother, and tell it loud so that
civilization may hear you.
But we do not propose to be drawn
from the question, that of the need of
an honest election law. No doubt
that the Advocate and other attaches
OF the administration would like to
draw the reformers off of the track
and get us into an argument on any
other subject in the world but this
election law. But we know the trail

COUNCIL MEETING.

The city council was called to order
promptly at o'clock Thursday evening
by Mayor Vinson; all the counciImen
were soon IN their seats. After reading
of the minutes of the previous meeting.
the order of new business was taken IN.
Controller Murff opened the eyes of all
by stating that"we are about out of funds
and something must be done very soon
or we would all be in the soup"
May or Vinson in a brief paper stated
that there could be no more wild leoIsla-
ton in the way of distributing the public
funds.
Councilman Benjamin's eyes seemed
for e time being ''sot;" others looked at
the ceiling, and Brother ScOfield began
to figure wildly on piece of paper. Mr..
Randall was about to offer a substitute
but could not find words to frame it. All
seemed to be chaos for a few moments
when Mr.. Sehofield suggested we see our
fiscal ageut and bridge over.
ID. G. Holland was confirmed as an Off
Ger in the place of Keene, discharged.
MT. Herold made strong report on
sanitary, showing that portions of our
city were in very bad condition.
Four pieces Of property were offered
under seal to the city for cemetery. IL
was evident that there was "bug under
the chip" from the uneasy movements of
some of the councilmen. One member
wanted to get out somewhere SO they
could not be heard.
Mr.. Toombs moved for a recess of five
minutes, which was agreed to and the
council retired to room and closed the
doors to caucus. They called it executive
session.
Nobody knows but them what was
done or said. as they came back in half
an hour and. we think, Councilman Ram
dali moved for an adjournment. which
was agreed to, until Thursday night 18th.

good thing when he sees it, but if he

LEAVE CAPTAIN Ohm TO HIMSELF.

-Ihc Webster Signal seems to be
considerably exercised over the atti-
tude &C the young press towards the
Baton Rouge Truth on the election
law question. Now as we belong to
the young press and were with the
gang at Alexandria we can with all
propriety. assure our friend, the Sig
nal, that his fears are groundless fol-
two reasons; first, because Captain
John McGrath is amply able to take
care Of himself, and second because
he stands exceedingly well with the
thSys and they have profound re-
spect and regard for him and could
not be induced to write anything that
would wound his feelings or show
disrespect.
