Russia is undoubtedly the country
most feared in Europe, and the re.
cent census, the first ever seriously
attempted, show the reason. The
official returns show the total popu.
lation of the Russian Empire to be
127,000,000. With such recruiting
ground for good soldiers subject to
the will of despot, with a growing
sense of nationality and of the ma
tion's manifest destiny, and with an
enormous territory from which to
draw supplies, the apprehension over
Russia's growing strength and infu-
ence is not without reason. Even
England, after being maneuvered out
of her position as leadiugpower both
in the East and in Turkey, is now,
under Lord Salisbury, meekly play
ing catspaw to Russia.

Patience With the Living,
Lovers 8 Year Book.

Sweet friend, when thou and l are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall we have gained?
Alas! by simply dying!
Then lips too chary of their praise
viii tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover.
The hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and
Ere Love is past forgivlng,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
To-day's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then. patience, 'en when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrow!
'Tis easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamonr,
And easy to discern the best
Though memory mystic glamour;
But wise it we're for thee and me,
Ere Love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patent with the living.

Track-laying on the Kansas City,
Shreveport and Gulf Railroad was
completed to Leesville from the d.
rection of Shreveport last Thursday.
Leesville, which is in Vernon parish,
is IS miles south of Many, the parish
site of Sabine. Track-laying will be
continued at the rate of about two
miles day. DeQuincey is so miles
south of Leesville. The rails are
already laid and construction trains
are running from Lake Charles to a
point 10 miles north of DeQuincey.
This leaves but forty miles of track
between Leesville and DeQuincey to
be completed, which will close the
gap and put the road in operation
from Lake Charles to Kansas City.
This 40 miles will be laid inside of
three weeks.
From DeQuincey to Beaumont,
on the other prong of the road, the
distance is 47 miles, and from Beau
mont to Port Arthur is 20 miles,
The 20 miles from Port Arthur to
Beaumont is finished and in opera
ton; so it only needs the gap closed
between DeQuincey and Beaumont to
finish up this great trunk line, after
the first 40 miles of the track be-
tween Leesville and DeQuincy is
done," says the Shreveport Times.
Col. G. Knoble, the division engi
neer in charge of the construction,
says the road will be completed both
to Lake Charles and the Gulf by the
first of July.

The Legislature of Florida, firing
of the recent protracted Senatorial
contest before that body, has passed
a resolution binding the General AS
sembly to elect in the future the man
recommended by the people at a gen.
eral election. Good. If the people
of Louisiana could elect their United
States Senators they would not now
be misrepresented by S. D. McEnery.
Nor would the name of such mental
and political nonentity as Denig ever
seriously be mentioned in connection
with the Office.

Senator Caffrey, and Congressman
Ogden, Baird and Robertson are all
right on the tariff question. They
stand on this vital issue with the peo-

the "pretection" lick-log. Great is

The New Orleans Picayune is one

ever been onward and upward. May
it's last days be its best days, and all
the intervening time aperiod of con-
tinued prosperity.
The editorials of the New Orleans
States are always read by US with
much pleasure, but those of the past
few weeks have been unusually able
and timely. There is nothing OF the
demagogue about Major Henry J.
Hearsey, and be does not hesitate to
expose demagogism wherever found.
He is true to the interests of the
Democratic party in Louisiana-and
hence as true to the best interests OF
the State as the needle to the pole,
and if the white people Of the State
would all read his editorials and heed
his wise and timely advise they would
best promote their prosperity and
maintain the supremacy of the Dem
ocratic party, which is their only po-
litical safe guard.

The tariff question is not ''local
ISSUE" It is "principle." Tariff
for revenue only, is a Democratic
principle. "Protection" is a Repub-
lican principle, and hence, undemo-
cratic. Democrats should stand by
their principles. Patriotism is always
the best policy.

The vandal amendment of the
United States Senate to the Sundry
Civil Apportionment Bill canceling
the forestry orders of President
Cleveland was disagreed to in the
House and will not be part of the
act whan it passes. The forest res
ervations will be continued, though
there may be some change in their
limits. 1t is to be hoped that Presi-
