NEW RAIL ROAD.

We are informed through a
source which we consider reliable
that the Texas Pacific Railroad
contemplate the extension OF q
branch road from Palmetto, St.
Landry parish, down the Teche.
The projected branch road is toI
pass at Port Barre, Arnaudville,
La Place to Breaux Bridge. At
the latter place the road will come
to st. Martinville or 60 to Lafay-
cite. We have not the least doubt
that st. Martinville can offer grea-
ter inducements to the Railroad
than Lafayette, and if our citizens
will only interest themselves in
this important matter, they can
furnish to the Railroad officials
statistics and data that will con-
vince them of our claim to have
more resources to feed a Railroad
than our neighbors, besides, hav-
ing river facilities.
A meeting of the Board of
Trade will be held tomorrow
morning for the sole purpose of
discussing this Railroad question.
We believe it will be wise for the
board to appoint a committee of
active public spirited business
men to communicate with the CT
tizens of Breaux Bridge, La Place
and Arnaudville, and formulate
some plan of action and then open
correspondence with the Railroad
officials, informing them of our
resources, our natural advantages,
and show them the reasons why
st. Martinville is better situated
for the terminal of road.
There is no doubt that a rivalry
exists between the Texas Pacific
and the Southern Pacific, and
both have an eye on the immense
resources of this beautiful valley
of the Teche. That section OF
country between st. Martinville
and Arnaudville is the most fer
tile in the state, and il the resi-
dents of that beautiful country
are only given transportation faci-
ties, they will soon transform the
vast prairies and Jorge tracks Of
uncultivated lands into a pretty
garden that would produce thou
sands, and thousands of tons OF
cane, and make it the richest por.
ton of our state.
We advise our people to think
seriously about this, and when
our citizens will call upon them
to donate the right of way that
they do not put distractions in
their own way to wealth and pros.

September "Review."

The REVIEW OF REVIEWS for September
might well be called an international
politics number, the word politics being
used in its broadcast sense. Every line
of this whole compact issue is up to
date and directly pertinent to the great
problems that concern the world at The
present moment. The most elaborate
article is entitled political Japan and
its Leaders," by Mr.. c. Meriwether
The writer is a Johns Hopkins graduate
who spent some years as professor in
Il government Institution in Japan, and
who has written the present article
with reference to all those conditions
which have brought Japan to a domestic
and foreign crisis the result OF which
is the eNistin" war with China. Mr.
MerlWether gives uS clear accounts Of
the most significant party and military
leaders. Under the title of "The Work
of the Fifty-third Congress, " the Review
furnishes record of the legislation of
the past year, and devotes several
pages OF fine print to the actual tariff
schedules, placing the Mckinley rates
and the new rates side by side. This is
a service that will be particularly
appreciated during the pending cam
paigns. Mr.. W. B. Shaw of the Review
staff has also compiled for this number
a summary account Of the important
laws that have been enacted by the
fifteen state legislatures which have
been in session within the past six or
eight months. Dr.. Albert Shaw, editor
in-chief of the. Review, presents an
article on the new Hawaiian constitu-
ton, evidently prepared from a close
study of the complete document. He
points out many interesting features,
and regards the work of the Hawaiian
convention as evlncing a high order OF
craftsmanship.

Cleveland for his present administration
and also that Of our present state
officers for their clean record. [ pre-
sumo they forgot the Roster job, where
by these same state officers had
formulated plan to rob the poor
people of the State of Wisconsin of
$4,000.
We endorse peoples actions when
they are what we. under similar cir
cumstances would do ourselves.
In conclusion | would say that when
your party has had such an opportunity
to do something good for the country
and have been unable to do it, don't
you think it would be the greatest folly
for the people to vote the Democratic
ticket again and continue the ruin and
misery of the last two years? | do.

Nash, Julius Markeline, of Milwaukee,
Guy NASH and Eddie Nash made up a
party of hunters who bagged only a
few chickens on Saturday last
r. c. Worthington owns valuable
" Pointer" dog and is great lover of
hunting. He is old fashioned in the
fact that he uses a muzzle loading shot
gun and therefore when he goes hunt
ing he is obliged to carry powder, shot
and wads. Saturday being the first of
September he started out alone. He
travelled several miles and when he
reached the hunting grounds he thought
he would load his gun He started to
and when he got ready to use shot ne
found his shot pouch in tack, but empty.
Hunters you can imagine his feelings
with his dog on point of chickens,
powder in his gun, but no shot. The
atmosphere was blue for a few rods
round about him and when he cooled
down he came home

Spectator, Bird March.

Signor Crispi on Wsdnesd " made d start
ling speech on the condition of South ern
Italy. He declared that the Government
were ready to do anything to redress the
wrongs of the people Of Sicily, to Ieadiust
all local taxation, and even to use the re-
sources of the island to buy up the latifundia
and distribute them anon the peasantry,
but that the recent disorders had not been
caused by distress. They hid broken out in
the provinces of Palermo and Traptni, whore
social conditions we're easy, and large estates
scarcely existed. They had been instigated
by Revolutionists from the mainland, whose
centre was at Marseilles. and who had stirred
up the Easel die Lavatori, with their 289, 900
members, to a Revolutionary movement,
including the division of lands. They issuei
prOclamations preaching pillage and murder,
addressed to the Children of the Vespers,'
and promising VIZ by tue end of the year, to
be brought about by Russia, to which Power
it was Intended to cede a Sicilian port. It
was indispensable, therefore, to- declare the
state of seige. 1t is exceedingly probable
that the Sicilians are affiliated with some
French Revolutionists, and not impossible
that they. may have talked and written rub
bish about hiring the aid of Russia with a
port, but the Italian Premier forgets that
289, 900 conspirators means a population of
a million and a half, and that such a proper
ton of a people does not rise, or threaten to
rise, vii bout real and great grievances. The
Chamber applauded, but it is said that the
new financial plan is not approved, and that
the demand for the full powers necessary
TO reform the administration will not be con-
coded. There is trouble ahead before Italy.
