THE railroads of this State have con-
cluded they have gone as far as pru-
dence will permit in coercing their
men TO vote Cor Mckinley and Hobart.
1t seems that Col. Bill Phelps sat down
and held consultation with himself
some time ago. When he began to
figure on the future prospects of his
clients. the railroads, at the coming
session of the State legislature, it did
not take him minute to reach the
conclusion that that body would be
Democratic in both branches, in spite
coadjutors could make, and that the
prospect Of defeating Stephens for
Governor was very slight. 1t was
plain to him that if his clients con-
tinued to insist upon their men wear
ing Mckinley buttons, joining McKin-
ley clubs, and voting the Mckinley
ticket, they would run afoul of the
largest, liveliest and maddest nest of
hornets that it had ever been the mis-
fortune of railroad company to col
Tide with. He did not have to work
his powerful mind second or two
to discover that if this course was per-
sisted in his occupation as general pass
distributor for Missouri was gone.
What effect could his mellifuous voice
and golden arguments be expected to
have upon legislator whose nights
were afflicted with visions of angry
constituents awaiting him at the rail-
way station, armed with tar-buckets
feather-beds, halters. over-ripe eggs.
and other evidences of disapproval?
Accordingly, he got himself up TO st.
Louis in short order and impaired the
conclusions he had reached to his SUI
periors. In fact, it is rumored that
Mr.. Phelps became somewhat emphat-
&c. Al all events, very great amount
of pressure has been removed. 1t is
fair to state that when Col. Phelps il
not a lobbyist he is Democrat.

ANIDlOTICAL PROPOSITION.

The Republican Populistic paper
now being published in Alexand-
ria temporarily for campaign pur-
poses, under the high sounding
name of s'The Reformer"-though
just exactly what it proposes to
reform, We are unable to conceive
is still harping upon the refusal of
the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of this Parish, to accede to
the senseless and actually idiotic
proposition submitted by them, for
white primaries.
The proposition was never sub.
mitted seriously aud in good faith,
the proponents--even if vested
with such authority we'll
aware in advance of the submits
sion, that it would be rejected
"for good aud sufficient reasons"
They also knew or ought to have
known what those ''good aud suf.
fcient reasons" were. The Demo
cratic party had already selected
it's nominees by a white primary
in December and the Committee
had no power or authority to over.
rule, set aside or nullify that SO.
lection, by the acceptance of any
such foolish and preposterous pro-
position.
When the Democratic party
chooses its standard. bearers, Ell
ther BY primary or convention,
these nominees remain in the field,
until they are either approved OF
condemned by the people at the
general election. Populist com.
mittees, on the contrary, however,
seem to have plenary power to
neutralize the formal action OF
their conventions, by "pulling
down" nominees duly and legally
chosen aud substituting to them
others of their own creation. II
there is any political capital to be
derived from the declination Of the
Democratic Committee to enter.
tain any such silly and absurd
proposition-and We believe it was
submitted for such purpose-the
Populistic Republican aggregation

HOUSE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The U. 8. 5enate and House of
Representatives failing to agree
upon the Cuban resolutions-al-
though the difference between
them was neither important or es.
sential, they being as nearly iden-
tical as two black eyed peas-a
conference committee was appoint.
81, which after but little delibera.
ton, concluded to Recommend the
adoption of the House resolutions.
1t is quite likely, however, that
they will prove to be unayailliidng
and abortive, as requires presi.
dentlsf Intervention to carry them
into successful operation and it is
understood that the Manlius, who
guards the approaches to the ma
tional citadel, is opposed to any re-
coguition Of Cuban belligerency or
neutral rights at this time, for the
reason that he does not conceive
that the patriots have placed them
selves in q position, under interna.
tional law and the comfy of ma.
tons, to justify the United States
insaccording such rights, at the
imminent peril of a war or other
complications with Spain.

BoATNER TO BE UNsEATED.-
The Committee on privileges and
elections of the House has decided,
by a strict party vote, to recon-
mend that the seat of Mr.. Boatner
be declared vacant aud refer tho
matter back to the people OF the
5th District for another election,
upon the ground that there was
so much fraud, violence and intim-
idation at the polls as to invali.
date the election. 1t is probable
that the House will adopt the re-.
port of the Committee. Mr.. Boat
ner is one of the ablest and most
popular men in the 9th District,
indeed he has no superior in the
entire State and the Republican
House will be rebuked by his con.
stituents, by returning him with q
largely increased majority, as was
the case with Clifton r. Breckin.
ridge, of Arkansas, when he was
arbitrarily ousted by Gar Reeds
Congress. Upon the same princi'
pie and for the same reasons and
with as much propriety and gus
tice, the Coleman-Buck contest
should have been decided in the
same way. The ousting of Mr..
Boatner, however, is a little sop
thrown to the Populistic Cerberps,
in order to encourage the forma.
ton of combinations with the Re.
publicans in other States, az was
done in Louisiana.

/ SHOT GUN CAMPAIGN.

It seems that a shot gun cam
paign is to be inaugurated by the
opposition, at least to the extent
of going to the polls armed on
election day. This is the only le-
gitimate inference to be drawn
from or construction to be placed
upon the inflammatory editorial,
under the caption, "For Shame:"
in the last issue of tho Louisiana
Rgormer. These people, if they
follow such incendiary advice, are
sowing harvest, from the seed Of
which they may reap a whirlwind.
They may as we'll understand
first as last, that no such intima-
tions or threats have any terrors
for the Democracy. They know
how and have the courage to use
shot guns, Winchester rifles ETC.,
not in the preparation of fraud,
but in the defense Of their most
sacred rights. Such language is a
menace to tho peace of the COM
munity and will, sooner or later,
react upon its authors. They will
learn that it is a dangerous game,
in which two can play. So far as
representation at the polls is con-
cerned, in our opinion, the Popu-
lists are not entitled to any. The
Republican party may be and will
perhaps be accorded it.
We know nothing, however, as
to tho sentiments of the three gen.
tlemen who will appoint the com.
missioners of election. The Popu.
lists, who only cast.10,O00 votes at
the last election, have merged their
ideDtity-temporarily at least-in
that of the Republican organize
ton, and have been SO completely
engulfed and swallowed up by the
larger body, that they are in no
position to demand any such re
cognition at the polls.
