FROM OUR POINT OFVIEW

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Donaldsonville Chigf. seems to init
mate its surprise that our citizens do
not oppose the proposed LaIonrche
Railroad, because it il not intended
TO pass through IhibodauN. Ofconrse
it would be preferable ii it did pass
through onr town and onr merchants
WOuld derive more advantages from it
I'D that e :bnt a. We cannot have II
that way. there is no reason why we
should oppose it. if it will ipneiit the
the rest of the parish. That il will do
90, We have not the least doubt. and
that is the reason why We a,- in favor
of the project. 1t will open up i rich
extent of country by giving it assured
transportation all the year rn,nd.
where it enjoys now only partial facil-
ties during "a small portion OF he year.
Our people. AZ u rule are not %seiiisl,
and like to see their nri2ht,o,< prosper
whether or not the pnos b erity reaches
them.
Moreover. even though the proposed
road do. = not pass ~,lrongl, our town
bat on the opposite side of the bayou,
as contemplated, there is no reason
why Thihodanx conld not put itself in
communication with it should it's. ci-
tizens deem it to their advantage to
do SO. Give us the railroad, and
Thibodaux will take care Of her inte-
rests, eve If she has 10 cross tile La.
fOurche to do it.

LET USHA We PRIMARIES.

As the time grows nigh when it will
be necessary to select candidates
for our various public offices, the
inquiry is often made IA to what
methods of Selection will be- adopt
ed. As the SENTINEL has stated lie.
fore. while not authorized tn apeak
for the central committee, it believes
the selection will he made by Demo
cratic primaries. ~ accordance with 4
long established custom. 1t will be
recalled that when the warning factions
OF the party buried the hatcbet in the
fall of 1892, and reunited, the basis Of
the compromise was the submission OF
the selection of delegates. candidates,
etc.. to democratic primaries. For
this reason we believe we will have
primaries ; we believe the parties 10
that agreement will live up t" it.
1t may, therefore, he set down as IA
fact that Lafourche will stick to prima-
rles. Let a%spirantS shape their
course accordingly.

The DIE Is CAsT.-The. National
Republicans. as the sugar planters who
deserted the Democratic party in the
last congressional election, call them
selves, have decided to hold aloof
from the old Republican organization
in this State. They have -repudiated
the offer Of the Cage Committee % join
them by appointing fifteen % their
number to that committee. They
have refused, in other words, to mingle
with Sambn aud are determined to Iry
the experiment of Il white republican
party. A republican party without
the negro in this State may he Il posi-
bility but it is hardly 4 probability,
at least for some time to come. The
idea of the "Nationals" seems 10 be to
endeavOr to effect Il combine with the
pOpnlists to defeat the Democratic
party. Having abandoned what some
of them are pleased to call the ring !"
their greatest desire now is to break
the old ring, presumably that they
may form another one more to their
liking. The child il BON now aud
named let us see how it will turn out.
