COMMISSIONER

Tho Nassau Railroad completed its Fifth-avc limo
yesterday TO the junction OF the Brooklyn Heights
tracks. I, is understood that the Nassau people
will meet with obstruction from the Brooklyn
Heights Company. but there Is a snag In the way.
The charter Of the Nassau road carried the line to
the Shore Road. but the Park Commissioner inter
fcred. When an attempt was made to erect poles
upon the extreme end OF Third-ave. the Waterman
employed by the Park Commissioner objected. The
holes had been dug when the police OF the Twenty
Nth Precinct were informed man sent
there and a permit showed that tho company had
franchise to build to the Shore Road. At the same
time the Park Commissioner sent for. and In
quick time Captain Mcnamara of the Park Police.
was on the scene. He ordered the holes dug for
the trolley poles to be rehlled. Since then a
Park policeman HIS been stationed at the crossing
The Nassau people say that their franchise was
issued prior to the purchase OF the property or
the passage OF the bill authorizing its purchase and
cannot invalidate their claim.
The purchase OF the block adjoining the fort from
Judge Church for $S2 900 has doomed real estate in
that section. The Nassau road wants few lots

$1,000 has been offered the owner. who has re-

-Four years ago a farmer said to us
that he was in favor of free trade, be-
cause it would reduce the price Of

wages for farm hands does not an

s'Shot to Death Thirty Years Ago.
New York journal of Commerce
In regard to the enforcement of Unit
ed States laws, Mr.. Bryan observes
that the Federal government sis not
authorized to interfere in the domes
tic affairs of any state except upon
application of the legislature of the
state or upon the application of the
executive" This is quite true, but
when Mr.. Bryan and Governor Alt
geld treat us a domestic affair" of
Illinois an armed interference with
interstate commerce that paralyzes
the business of the country, they make
the precise mistake that was made by
South Carolina in 1861, when it de
clared the enforcement of Federal
Legislation within it boundaries to be
a violation of it's domestic affairs"
The proposition which Altgeld put
forward, the Chicago convention re
iterated, and Mr.. Bryan subscribes to
is proposition tsat was shot to death
more than thirty years ago. The
Union of the states is not to be de-
feated by any governor or any legis
lature.

Letter From Louisiana.

The editor of the GLOBE REPUBL1
CAN is in receipt of the following let
ter from friend in the state of Lou
isiana:
I am not in q situation to give
much information in regard to the
political situation in this state, that il
of much value. One feature, thong b
is the silver agitation is not SO strong
in this locality as it was some few
weeks since.
presume there is no doubt but
what Mckinley will get big vote in
this state-the feeling generally is
much in favor of that side, naturally.
But the Democratic political machine
is hard to down, and they keep i'm
proving it SO that men out of power
can't get hold of the combination.
They can vote any number with this
machine and it makes no difference if
the voter is present or not. Very
handy, indeed, especially at busy
times, when voters do not want to
leave their employment to attend
election, SO I am told.
It is claimed that Pharr the Popre-
pub) candidate for governor at last
state election, was legally elected by a
good majority. But the party in
power gave the old machine few
turns and Foster the Democrat can
didate was elected by handsome
of course.
The one misfortune (not mention
ing the many others) in this state is
among the white people.
There are some grown people in this
vicinity who do not know who the |
governor of this state is.
''Sambo" has the Interpretation of
l6 to down fne-means $1,000 for
7e white man and 81 90 for de niger;
quite appropriate, too, for this coun-
ry.
The weather is pleasant now but
he past summer has been the hottest
md dryest in the experience Of the
,ldest citizens here.
Get your republican roosters ready
or the 18th of November.
