Railroad Election.

The Police Jury was in session
several days last week and trans
acted all business that came be.
fore it. A petition having been
presented with the requisite mum.
Der of signatures of property tax
payers, an election was ordered to
he held in the Alexandria Ward
on the 2sth of January, 1897, for
the purpose Of giving the people
Of said ward an opportunity to de.
termine whether or not they will
vote q five mill tax for ten years in
aid of the construction of the Ba.
ton Rouge and Central Louisiana
Railway.
This is road projected by Mr.,
F. NJ. WEIGH from Baton Rouge
via Marksville to Alexandria and
thence to connect with Texas rail.
roads. The entire line will pass
through one of the most fertile
sectious of the State and will NO
doubt be a paying enterprise in a
very short time after construction,
We are advised that it is TO be one
of the obligatory conditions, that
if the tax is voted, the road 10 to
be completed to Alexandria in q
designated period of time say
twelve months, that Alexandra
must be made the division termi.
nal with tho location of the work
shops here.
We can't have too many rail.
roads. They always develop the
latent resources Of every country
through which they pass and
thereby invite prosperity, by bring.
ing within its midst, capital aud
its necessary concomitant, popula.
ton. As the conditions are not
only stringent against the rail.
road, but favorable and advanta.
geous to Alexandria, We can con.
ceive Of no valid reason why the
taxpayers should hesitatet to vote
the tax.

"High Hat Law"

The "High Hat Law" enacted
by the Louisiana Legislature at
the last session of that Body, was
tested for the first time in Alexan-
dria at the Opera House last
Thursday night, the occasion be.
ing performance of the Barlow
Bros, Minstrels.
We are advised that it went into
operation with but little friction or
resistance, the ladies, with but
two or three exceptions, as soon
as they were notified of the exist
ence of such a statute, readily
yielded to the majesty of the law
and removed their head gear,
whether of high OR low degree.
Hence, those who had paid their
money, got value received, in the
the nature of IA full and unobstruc.
ted view of the performance, 80
far as the ladies were concerned,
at least.
1t will be remembered that Du-
denhefer, member of the legisla'
ture from New Orleans for seven
teen years, had never been heard
of beyond the limits of his own
little electoral bailiwick, but sud.
denly sprang into public notoriety
and immortaized himself at single
session by the introduction and
subsequent passage of this bill,
prohibiting the heretofore suppos.
ed indefeasible and inalienable
rights of the ladies of Louisiana to
wear hats in theatres and opera
houses. =.
"Dude's High Hat Law" will be
submitted to here, as elsewhere,
because the ladies are all law
abiding at all times aud will never
attempt to avail themselves of pro
hibited rights.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1896-11-25

Bryan will open the campaign
for 1900 at Denver, Colorado. The
people of Denver will no doubt
give the silver orator a grand rs.
ception.-[S Sabine Banner.
Unless Bryan is the possessor of
more money than he is popularity
credited with, he had better re.
main at Lincoln, resume the prac.
tice of his abandoned profession,
from which he never reape.l a
greater harvest than $500 per an.
mum and leave the campaign OF
1900 severely alone. The silver
Democrats and Populists com.
bined could not steer the Bryan
ship clear of breakers this time
and no living man can foretell the
conditions of four years to COME
The sensible and patriotic man is
he who will abstain from financial,
political and all other agitation
and counsel the people to go to
work iu earnest and recoupe the
losses to which they have been
subjected through the inseusate
folly of demagogic leadership. Mr.,
Bryan might possibly be the Pop
ulistic nominee, he cannot be the
Democratic standard bearer in
1900. He had as well recognize
this memorable fact to-day, as four
years from now. 1t will be inf.
nitely better for him individually
and the people collectively.

NoTICE.-Mr. james T. Flint
requests US to say, that he wants
all who reside III Alexandria, both
white and colored, who may not be
able to enjoy q Thanksgiving DIN.
her, to come to his Office, or bis
residence the day before and get a
sum of money sufficient to secure
good dinner. Mr.. Flint thinks
that he and his family have been
greatly blessed the past year, but
more than that, our city has pros.
pered and for this reason, he wants
to make Thanksgiving Day as far
as lie can, happy one to the few
poor and unfortunate in our midst.
And to the needy sick, who may
not see this notice, he would bt
glad to have some one leave their
names at his Office.

"Phunny!" Isn't 1t?

A representative of the DEMO
Graf casually accosted several
candidates for couneilmanic hon.
Ors last week and endeavored to
impress upon them the necessity
and Importance ofpublic announce
ment, if they expected the "dear
people" to take their several claims
into consideration. But we were
met with the response, that as
there was no salary or perquisitss
attached to the Office, they did not
consider it the part of wisdom to
invest good money to secure a non.
paying office, except in so far as
the countless number of maledic-
tons which would be heaped upon
their devoted heads, was to be
taken into consideration.
The next query addressed to
them, was: "Well; what do you
want with such an undesirable
otfices" One of them replied,
that "he was running to save the
people," but from whom, he did
not condescend to enlighten US, a
second one, that "he was running
for vindication" and the third that
"the position WAS sought by him
on account of the honor and glory
connected with it," ALI of which
is satisfactory to us, to themselves
and 10 doubt, to the people.
