Now is Our Chance.

Mr.. Edenborn, the st. Louis
millionaire who is backing the pro-
posed Texarkana, Shreveport and
Natchez railroad, arrived in Shreve-
port Wednesday, to meet the pco-
pie of that progressive city and ar
range terms for the building of that
road through Shreveport, and its
extension down the Red River val
ley.
Capt. Caspari, President of our
railroad, ever alive to our interests
which are the interests of his road,
will go to Shreveport and see Mr..
Edenborn in person, and induce
him, if possible, to build by this
city on his way to Natchez, and if
not, to come as near as Campti, but
if the road fails to come nearer
than Coushatta the Captain will
endeavor to meet it there, and will
no doubt, be able to do so, if CIV
en- the proper encouragement and
assistance from our people who
will be SO materially benefited by
it. Only the wards through which
the extension would pass, will be
asked to vote a tax, and agitation
in that direction will be commence
ed at an early date.
Our people have suffered severe
ly for their failure to grasp and
encourage opportunities in the past,
but the bad effects of this failure
will be double anything yet expe-
rienccd.
So we trust our energetic, whole
souled citizens will strain every
nerve to Get this much needed road.

A shipment OF produce was re-
Gently made from Hitchcock which
sold for S1070. Of this amount
the railroads received $500, the
commission men received S135 and
the producers Sl35. The Houston
Post in noticing this transaction
says +: ''The farmers share will not
pay the boxing, nails and the cost

Of high charges for transportation,

The Populist Schisrn.

Under the above heading the
great Philadelphia American Of
last week has a lenthy, logical and
conservative article on the differ
ences that have existed for nearly
a year in the Populist ranks, but
which have been practically set
tied by the recent Nashville con-
ference.
We have room for only a few
extracts
30 often nave our people put
faith in teachers who have proven
false to their trusts, who have
thought more of self preferment
than the public veal, and who have
sacrificed the interests entrusted to
their care for their own self adj
vancement and emolument, who,
though elected to defend the inter-
ests of the people, have served the
ends of oligarchy, that there i,
general suspicion of leaders. And
this distrust of leaders makes fer
tile ground for the sowing of jeal-
ousies, it paves the way for men
who think more of self preferment
than they do Of the general welfare,
to pull down those who have gain
ed measure of confidence and
leadership. This intoxicating of
jealousies, this pulling down of
leaders merely to make place for
the advancement of some place
seeker who puts self before coun-
try, is unworthy of great cause.
That all the antagonism shown
towards the Chairman of the Peo-
pies party National Committee Is
born of unworthy jealousy, far be
it from us to say. The general dis
trust Of leaders may have been
made use of, doubtless has been
made use of to raise up antagonisms
to Senator Butler and his course
as Chairman of the Peoples party
National Committee. That he has
not acted in his Official capacity for
the best interests of the Peoples
party, that he has even betrayed
his party is unquestionably the
belief of many honest Populists.
What foundation, if any, there is
for such belief we know not. That
Senator Butler has shown courage
and ability in the Senate we do
know, that he has deliberately,
Willingly sold out his party, we
cannot believe.
Doubtless he has made mistakes,
erred perhaps in his judgment of
the best interests Of his party, but
we all make mistakes, we all err at
times. That he has intentionally
done injury to the Peoples party,
that in allaying it with the Demo
cratic party his set purpose was to
retard bis party's growth, to be-
little its Importance, it is not fair
to assume.
The American then argues the
mistake Of calling the Peoples
party national convention of 1896
after the other great conventions,
and credits said mistake to Senator
Butler, which is wrong, as Butler
had nothing to do with it. 1t then
continues
But after the postponement of
the date for the holding of the
Populist convention until after the
holding of the conventions of the

go convention had met and nomi-

Associated Press dispatches from
San Francisco, Seattle, and other
Pacific coast cities, announce the
discovery of rich and extensive
gold fields in the Yukon river ter
ritory, near Alaska. Miners have
returned from the section with for
tunes-some as high as SS4, ,000-
and there is great rush of pros
pectors and adventures to the dis
trict, so much so that labor is get
ting scarce and high in all the sea
coast towns, while all the towns In
Alaska are being deserted for the
gold fields.
If this boom proves real, and
the volume Of gold should be dou-
