a "Tire" Item.

You will admit that it takes
more force to pull a wagon up hill
than on level ground ; you will ad-
nit that when a wheel sinks in q
soft soil the wheel is continually
attempting to climb to the top, and
the effect is the same as going up
hill: you will admit that a narrow
tire will sink quicker than a wide
tire: you will admit that a narrow
tire will cut a road much more
than wide tire you will admit
that a wide tire will operate more
as road roller than as a road-des-
troyer: you will admit that wide
tire wagon is better than a narrow
tire wagon: you will admit that a
wide tire wagon with the rear axl e
longer by width of the tires than
the front axle, will be better than q
straight-track wagon: then in your
good-roads agitation, why don't
you also agitate the wide-tire wag-
on question: Narrow tires cut a
road so badly that we will never
have perfect dirt roads until we
also have wide tire wagons; the
two must come together. .-Trib-

ing agitated extensively again
This is a move in the right direc
ton and the agitation should b.

roads is enormous, but because tho

they do not really appreciate what
the present road system-or want
OF Systcm--costs them. Some OF
our police jurors are doing what

Railroad ReCeivership.

During the year of 1897 twenty
railroads went into the hands of
receivers, with mileage of 1,475,
stock at $780, 900, and with an
indebtedness of S71, ,953,OOO. When
the government gets all these roads
into paying order again and their
debts Strengthened out, the receiv-
ers will be discharged and the roads
turned over to private parties, to
be again wrecked by speculators,
after they have bled the stockhold-
ers and robbed the ''dear people"
to the limit.
1t would seem that after such
object lessons as these as to the
advantage Of government owner

An Advancing Step.

The terrible experience that this
parish has suffered during the long
rainy period which we have just
gone through has proven a blessing
in disguise, though dearly bought.
At the special session Of tho TO
lice Jury, on Thursday last, con-
siderable number of citizens from
various parts Of the parish were
present and a very live interest de-
veloped in the discussion of the
subject, to which much latitude
was given by the Jury. Finally,
the conclusion was reached that the
most practical and effective plan
to adopt would be the employ
ment of a, suitable man to take
charge Of road construction
throughout the parish, furnishing
him with teams and implements.
As reported in the proceedings
published in these columns, a coul-
mittee WAS appointed to purchase
six mules and all necessary imple-
ments, and Mr.. Felix Mestayer was
employed to take charge of this
outfit and direct the work, calling
upon the people in tho various To-
calities where work is done to CO.
operate with him under the law.
1t is expected that be will de-
vote special attention to drainage,
and thus lay an enduring founda-
tion for good roads.
In adopting this policy, the Po-
lice jury has acted wisely, and
while it will require time to secure
a perfect system, we at least have
the assurance that under it we need
never have anything approaching
the conditions that have prevailed
for tho past three months.-Ncw

eve told you so" before you
voted for them. 4
The convention had almost agreed
upon the absurd plan mentioned in
this paper two weeks ago, which
admitted 10 different classes of yo-
ters, but Senators Catfrey and Nc
Emery telegraphed from Washing
ton that section 5 of said law,
which admitted the 1857 voter and
his descendants, was unconstitu-
tional. This knocked the convon-
tion into 'conniption fits" They
got back to normal, however, in a
week, and tried to adopt the South
Carolina humbug which failed.
The understanding clause like
Mississippi's failed also, and the
convention is now where it began
IS days ago.
The alternative property or edu-
cational modification with poll tax
is what ought to be passed.
But such a simple qualification
would leave no room for trickery
and fraud, and the slick scheming
of the politician would be at a dis
count, SO the convention is now
trying to adopt plan for special
Registrars at 500 per month, and
clerks at $50, to run a special reg
istration until January 1st next,
and register white men only Dem
ocrats of course.)
We hardly believe it possible
for this convention to adjourn
without adopting some such farce
as this.

The explanation 1t is related

be announced that he had been con-

rather inquisitive as to the cause
of Ponder's sudden conversion,

had seen the Lord, meaning Gov.

Foster walked up to the merry
group smiling and in apparently
good humor, and inquired what
was the fun about, when one of the
members repeated to the governor
what the crowd enjoyed SO much.

cations were filled up quite exten
sively with men who belonged to

But it was not 50 everywhere.
Even in our state many did not
vote the ticket, and there was
general ''hattening out" Of Popu-

The best educational work near
ly if not quite is being done by
the Alliance in the northwest. They
have something like 700 grain ele-
vators of their own, with switch
tracks, track scales and other con-
veniences for keeping profits at
home. They expect to land a ter
minal elevator in a short time and
have cut down a ditferential rate
between ST.. Paul and Chicago
from 6 cents to l cent. They have
500 grist mills of their own and
cheese factories in about the same
proportion. The farmers buy their
twine and supplies through their
agent and sell their grain by sam
pie through the same channel, j.

the Alliance is not Populist or

are falling in with good company.
