WHY 1t Was Done.

Populists will remember that
tbs name of J. T. Howell OF r.
Baton Rouge, was left off the Of
fetal ballot in the late election for
delegates to the Constitutional con-
vention, though he was nominated
by both Populists and Republi-
cans. He had ordered his name
off the Republican ticket, to con-
centrate his vote on one ticket,
which with the large Democratic
vote sure to come to him, he could
have been kept out Of the conven-
ton only by counting him out.
This would not have been done,
because of his reputation as an
honest reformer on suffrage, finance
and other public questions OF vital
import. Hence his name was
dropped from the ballot contrary
to all law and equity. To delib-
erately debar, by a base trick, a
known friend of the people from
the convention does not augur
we'll for reform at the hands OF
those promising it, and yet guilty
of such acts.
The Louisiana populist., 1898-02-11
Not EKeaithy.

There was some talk of tho
Shreveport people further outra-
ging the people of Winn parish
by entering a contest against the
result of the recent elections in
that parish, favoring the two pro-
iected railroads there, and Shreve-
port lawyers were expected at
Winfield last Monday to start the
contest by restraining the Police
Jury from their functions in the
matter.
In answer to this rumOr quite a
number of the citizens were out
and no little complaint was heard,
that Shreveport, after having fail-
cd to carry her mercenary purpo-
ses by a liberal use of Doodle in
the election, should attempt to car
ry the election into the courts
Something never heard of in Winn
since the organization of the par
ish) to cast a shadow upon the
franchise, and thus render it worth
less as an inducement for tho In
vestment of capital.
They were indignant, and had
the Shreveport lawyers put in an
appearance they would have heard
some straight chat from the Oldest
citizens of that parish.
From what VIC heard we have
no doubt these lawyers would have
returned over the 26 long miles
between the courthouse and this
| parish with more haste than pru'
dencc, and would have hardly ia
ken time to see the one lone resi-
dence that breaks the monotOny Of
long leaf pine woods in that dis
tance.
They are not going to stand it.
Mr.. Shreveport. They are deter
mined to preserve the record o1
the "Free State of Winn."
The Louisiana populist., 1898-02-11

The hardest campaign We were
ever in was the one of the last 3
weeks in Winn parish in favor Of
the railroad taxes. A railroad in
Winn parish is of course an ex-
pertinent, and there was that nat
ural opposition Of those who want
to pIod along in the old ruts. But,
we had the hardest opposition from
the outside. Other railroads want
ed whack at that same 5-mill tax.
Then there is town up here near
Waskom, by the name of Shreve'
port, which desires to hold the
monopoly she now enjoys over the
trade of this and part Of Winn
parish, and her only hope of do
ing so is to defeat the Monroe and
Natchitoches railroad. So she
(Shreyeport) sent men and money
into the parish and made a gene
rous distribution of the money.
But the good Lord was on the side
of right. Once more he confused
tho tongues of Babel. Bitter anti.
tax men made such a botch of the
returns at one of their strongest
boxes, that we defy them or the
Supreme Court to tell how they
voted. Now they talk of contest
ing, which will do no good ano
most probably a whole, lot Of harm
to themselves and their agents ii
that parish. Because it's agin th'
law to buy mans vote.
The Louisiana populist., 1898-02-11
Progressive.

Winn parish has done herself
proud. She has proven herself to
be the foremost friend of develop
ment and progress in North Lou
isiana. Has proven it in most
substantial way. On one and the
same day, her citizens voted q g.
mill tax to two different railroads
projected through the parish.
These roads will surely be built,
and will give that heretofore isola'
ted and undeveloped parish, thu
very finest railroad connections
and bring into the markets of tht
country her almost unlimited natu
raj resources.
Sensible people in Winn!

Improbable Economy.

Congressman Loud, of Califor-
mia, is actively pushing his pet
measure-the bill to alter the pres
ent laws relating to second-class
mail matter. This bill failed of
passage at the last session of Con.
gress, and it is to be hoped that it
will meet a like fate. The bill
places a host of restrictions upon
publishers and practically leaves
them at the mercy Of the post
master generals whim. Under its
provisions the cheap paper editions
Of Dickens, Scott and other stand
ard authors must advance in price,
as the publishers of such works
will be debarred from sending
them through the mails at the pres
ent rate of postage, one cent per
pound. Instead, they will be mail
able at eight cents per pound,
which, as these hooks frequently
weigh as much as pound, will
advance prices to the public to that
extent. If Mr.. Loud should de-
vote his energies to reducing the
exhorbitant rates now paid to the
railroads by the Government fol
the transportation of mails, he
would speedily transform the an
nual deficiency in the postal depart
ment to a surplus. We give
more extended review Of this sub
iect in another column Of this is

''Three miles from nowhere, in
a little backwoods village over in
North Carolina, the other day, l
found the ono town in the world
where everybody works and no
loa6ing is permitted" says a writer
in the Louisville Post. ''1n this
hamlet there's no idleness, that is
not voluntary or vicious, and this
privilege is not allowed, even to
the wandering Willie out Of a JOB.
On a sign at the post Office In
Beechland is this injunction, from
which there is no appeal: No
loafng allowed in this town. We
work, and 80 must everybody else
who expects to reside here for any
length of time. Idleness breeds
crime, and as we never had rob-
berry or a murder here we have de-
termined to strike at the root Of
all evil. Tramps will be given
one hour in which to depart, and
honest men out of employment
will be given work if they desire
it. If not they must git, and git
as quick as their lazy legs will
carry them away from our village.

The Railroad Election In Winn

Percy Sandel, ESQ.,, returned
from Winn parish yesterday and
reported that the tax in favor Of
the Monroe and Natchitoches rail-
road was carried by three najori-
ty in number and $4,000 in amount.
Two hundred and ninety-fve votes
were cast for the tax and 1872
against it. The tax in favor Of the
North and South railroad was car
ried by forty majority. The close
ness of the result was due to the
vote on two roads at once and to
the hard work of Shreveport
against both roads. The Bulletin
predicted that both taxes would he
voted, and we arc glad to learn
from citizens of Winn that the
Bulletins influence was felt in ia.
vor of the tax. We feel grateful
to our friends who nobly laid aside
all political resentments, all jeal
ousies, all doubts and suspicious
and voted for the railroads. The
true st friends and the most intelli
gent friends of the south are those
who seek to develop her resource:
by. building railroads and by every
other means. We would have on
populist brethren take u foremos
rank in this fight. We would hav'
them vote and work for ever,
measure of public improvement
and thus demonstrate their wisdom
and patriotism. Well done, Winn

McCabe, Ariz., March 26.-(Special correspondence of The Republican J. There is lots of hustle and stir in this the banner camp of Yavapai county. The McCabe mine, one of the good, re- liable, steady and rich producers. is blowing her whistle regular as clock work. About fifty men are working three shifts and the mill is hammering away with never teasing operation. She is a big producer and a constant shipper under the able management of MT. J. J. Coleman.
 The Gladstone is putting out very de- sirable ore. She is located next to the McCabe mine and is superintended by MT. Larry Martin. The New Year mine, H. K. Behn owner. is a splendid locker, nestled right in the hill above the camp. She is worked under lease and bond by a gang of thrifty miners, and is rapidly coming into good ore and will be a shipper by April first. The Little Jessie is working her cya- hide plant with good results. Dozens of prospects are constantly worked and very successfully. In fact everything looks favorable for this camp. Every business man is doing we'll and i'm provements of all kinds are pushed rapidly. The new railroad when com pleted, will give this camp a big boon and bring her before the public eye in a manner which will surprise many miners who know this camp of old.
