Baton Rouge Advocate: The
people of the city of New Orleans
are very much agitated over the pro-
posed action OF the city council
concerning the matter of terminal
facilities asked for by the Illinois
Central railroad. The city council
does not seem disposed to accord
facilities and privileges which the
l. c. road deem absolutely neCes
sary for the successful handling of
their growing business and Presi'
dent Fish announces that unless he
can secure the franchise asked for
his road will be compelled to move
out of New Orleans and establish its
tel minal twelve miles above the city.
In this contingency the Advocate
would suggest to Mr.. Fish serious
consideration of the advantages of
fered by Baton Rouge. He can
get all the privileges needed for a
mere song a; this point, He will
have the advantage of a high, dry
and healthy city which is destined
to become in the near future the
seat of enormous commerce and
industries; his terminus will be on
the direct line of the future great
transcontinental trunk line of the
South If Mr.. Fish will take his
map and trace out the distance
from Lafayette, La, across to his
own line at Hammond, or if pre-
ferred still further on to Meridian,
Miss, he would readily see what a
future there would be to his road
with its terminus here. New Or
leans does not appear to want Mr..
Fish or his road, as that city seems
to think it has already more business
than it can attend to. Let Mr.. Fish
cease the wrangle by pulling up his
stakes and coming to CITY that has
future and is willing to extend
every inducement to those who may
desire to help build up the city and
to grow up with it.

CROWD/I/G TO THE CITIES.

On O~D/I|G u HE III Il Zo.
Daily States:
The tendency of young men
especially to leave the farms and to
over-crowd the cities has become a
crying evil in this country. Each
census for a number of decades has
shown that an increased per cent O
the population is living in the cities.
The Baltimore Sun in commenting
on this subject says that the chief
causes of this concentration of
population in the Eastern States
are easily accounted for, but that
such a complaint should come from
purely agricultural States with no
large cities to attack people from
the fertile farms cannot fail to
cause surprise.
If young men desert the farms to
avoid hard work they are making
grievous mistake, because, com
pared with the railroad brakeman,
the street car motorman or conduc-
tor, and of many of the clerks and
laborers in the cities, the occupa-
ton of the farmer is one of ease and
leisure.
True, there are times when he
must work hard and the work in the
field under a July sun is not along
the primrose path of dalliance; but
his vocation is immeasurably more
manly and independent. He is not
forced to submit to the, perhaps,
employer or his subordinates. OF
the continued and unremltting labor
of the city man for at least three
hundred days in the year he knows
nothing. Neither, as a rule, does
he understand the struggle for exis-
,ence, the fight for food. which is
the lot of SO many even industrious
men in the cities. Yet the life
not satisfy the aspirations of ambi-
tious, energetic young men with
health and brains. They hear of
men who started poor in the city,
"ho "Cht iioA' VIZ NooASA$
without money or friends and
became rich and gained high posi-
tions, while among the farmers
around them they see few if any
who have acquired either riches or
fame, and they leave the old home
to take part in the struggle, the life
and excitement of the city, little
voting that for every one who has
gained fame or fortune there are
thousands and tens of thousands
who have fallen by the wayside Of
whose fate no record is kept.
There is another class, and by
far the larger class, who go to the
city not with any ambition to
crafty, but simply because country
life is dull and lonesome. In the
winter time when there is leisure the
roads are bad and it is perhaps
long ride or drive to the nearest
neighbor. 1t may be that good
roads and bicycles will make coun-
try life more attractive by prom citing
social intercourse.

LIEUT.. GOV. SNYDER.
His Views Concerning Political
Conditions in North Louisiana.

Conditions in North Louisiana.
Times Democrat:
Lieut.. Gov. Snyder was in the
meeting of the Board of Pardons.
He will return to his home in Ten
sas to-day. but will return Tuesday
to attend another meeting of the
board.
Yesterday, in speaking of the new
Constitution and its practical oper-
alton, he said it gave entire salts
faction in North Louisiana; and
mere especially SO those PROVISIONS
which eliminate the negro from
politics. With the negro no longer
factor in determining elections,
he said the white people felt as
though they had been emancipated,
and there was an entire change in
the political atmosphere. In the
past fear of negro domination had
held the whites together, and SO
the race issue lapses from the party
creed would be tolerated in public
men and party leaders. One imme-
diate effect. Gov. Snyder thought:
Of the changed conditions would be
to hold public men to the support
of party tenets and compel those
seeking party preferment to declare
themselves one way of the other on
party issues.
So far, Gov. Snyder said, but
little Interest is being taken in North
Louisiana in the coming gubernsto-
rial night. The election is too far
off to excite general interest or to
get any straight line on individual
preferences. In general way,
however, he said five-cent cotton
had welded the farmers more
closely than ever to the Democratic
doctrine of a low tariff.
With the exception Of Judge
Blanchard, Gov. Snyder is the only
one prominently mentioned in
North Louisiana as candidate for
Governor In conversation with
Times Democrat reporter yesterday
Gov Snyder admitted that he
would not be averse to heading the
ticket to be nominated by the next
Democratic State convention, but
said there hal been no public meet
ings of any kind SO far to get a
trend of public opinion on the next
Democratic standard bearer. How
ever, he said the interests of all the
parishes of North Louisiana were
identical on political and economic
questions, and while he did not say
SO, Mr.. Snyder left the inference
that that section of the State could
readily unite upon candidate
rejecting the views of the Demo
cratic voters.
