Theory and Practice.

Viewed from a purely speculative
standpoint the Republican doctrine
of the universal salvation and pros
perity of mankind by NEAR Of high
tariff legislation, is as fascinating as
Jean Jacques R~ousseau's philosophy,
or the broad guage humanity OF the
French Revolutionists and %unfortu-
nately just about as deceptive. Our
neighbor the Republican Idea WAKES
eloquent 10 depicting the untold
glories of Republican principles and
the ~unspeakable viilainy Of Demo-
cratic teaching, which it feryently
declares lis to degrade labor by
poor pay. TO degrade the home by
putting therein poor furnishings and
scant fare, to degrade life by with.
holding the blessings Of Intellectual
and social life."
Just where he found proof ofthese
things be wisely refraiDs from men :
tioGug. He saw them by the eye Q
faith alone and can assuredly submit
nothing in the way Of competent evi
dence to establish the charges.
Now, there is an old Yankee pro
verb, "The proof of the pudding
consists in chewing the bag" which
finds application right here. Th'
doctrine Of protection tho largeI!

The Press Convention.

-
Now that all danger Of overflow
has happily passed the brethren Of
the press are agitating the question
Of the time and place of holding tue
next meeting Of the louisiana Press
Association. Bro. Seolt,of the Crow.
lev Signal holding II
10 New Orleaus sometime 10 0cto-
Der near the date Of the assembling
of the Western. Editorial Federation,
while Bro. Chevis Of the Baton
Rouge Advocate, with an eye to
comfort and luxury, proposed that
the members of the Association
make a trip to st. Louis and return
on board one of the elegant steam
boats of the Anchor Line. This
undoubtedly is a dandy scheme"
But one objection has been raised
against this plan and; that's the time
necessarily consumed in a trip Of
such magnitude. We see that Pres.
ident Hicks, of the Shreveport
Progress has made announcement OF
the fact that the citizens of Eureka
Springs, Ark, a beautiful health re-
sort in the Ozark mountains, are de-
sirous Of entertaining the Press
gang.
Having already enjoyed the varied
pleasures of a trip up the Mississippi
0 n one Of the splendid Anchorsliners
we confess to a decided weakness
for Bro. Chevis' plan; yet the item
of time will be a drawback. Hence
we modestly move TO amend the
motion this extent That the AS
ISOLATION take an Anchor liner as
far as Memphis. by the time that
busting Clnff city has been reached
the usual business of the body will
have been disposed Of; then after a
few hours atep we could go by rail
via Little Rock, to Eureka Springs,
spend a day there and the majority
of the members could return hom e
by way of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf Railroad, o young
giant OF commerce whose energy and
| enterprise are the admiration and
envy of all the railroads IN The
Southwest, aud whose completion
opens such a glorious future for the
grain fields Of the West and The gulf
ports Of the South. The officials Of
this new road would no doubt glad
ly avail themselves Of the opportu-
nifty TO display their hospitality and
the magnificent esource of the
country it trayerses. Don't every
body suy No!

Anti Railroad Fanatics.

Baton Rouge has just given evil
dence her m~ossback, terrapin shell
public spirit, by voting down the
proposed tax in aid Of the Baton
Rouge, Alexandria anG Shreveport
road. Baton Rouge has some live
citizens who would do honor to any
city but the majority Of the inhabl-
tants are old fossils who chiefly sub.
sist by preying off Of the State and its
public institutions. If it vas not for
these Handouts" from The public
kitchen many of these folks who live
in fear and trembling Of the removal
of the capital, would fare i'll indeed.
No doubt a few funerals would give
a healthy tone to the community.
Bro. Chevis Of the Advocate in
commenting upon the defeat of the
tax, acknowledges The great benefit
railroads are to a community and
the fact that like individuals they 60
where they are encouraged
mo, Baton Rouge will not shut up
shop as q result of the refusal to
vote for making THE city the domi~
cile Of the proposed railroad, but il
will virtually shut up shop in SO far
as a number of enterprises r con
cerned that would have located here
had the tax been voted. Shreve-
port, Lake Charles, Alexandria
Monroe and other smaller towns are
voting taxes TO the railroads every
time they get an opportunity to dc
so, and Baton Rouge is voting then
down as fest as they show up with
desire 10 come here. Let the reac-
t%ionary element keep this up and SCI
where they will land inside of ter
years. It is extremely doubtful i
40 opportunity like the one jus
voted down will ever be presented
again to the people of this town
and the effect of this defeat upon tn
reputation of Baton Rorge will b
felt for years to come. Severa
towns in this State have voted take
in aid of railroad enterprises. but il
in so far as onr information goe
none Of them have yet had the oppol
tunity to vote upon such a favorabl
proposition as the one we have ju;
rejected. In our judgment Thur
days work was the sorriest day
work the people of Baton Roug
have ever done.n
