TITS NOWAS/TWAs THEN.

President Cleveland's admInistra
tons, the Republican party has
held undisputed sway in the poll
cal affairs of the Republic since
the Civil war. Whether it is the
result of too much power or not,
party has ignored the plain primer
pies embodied in the Federal con
stitution. Whenever it has be
come expedient to overstep con
stitutional barriers, that party did
not hesitate to hold the fundamental
law in profound contempt. Being
a party of opportunIsts, without any
cardinal principles to guide its des
times, Republicsnism has advo-
Gated whatever policies suited the
popular whims of the day. Re-
cognizing the potent influence Of
wealth in the elections it has,
through class legislation, enlisted
the moneyed corporations to fight
its battles.
In 1868 the Republican party
was very powerful. 1t had already
allied itself with the corporations
and, though quite young in years,
it showed comtemptuous dis
regard of principles. On the
Fourth of July, 1868, Samuel J.
Tilden, the great exponent of the
Jeffersonian idea of government,
penned an arraignment of Republi
canism as it then existed. That
arraignment SO thoroughly portrays
the Republican party of to day and
SO clearly describes the duty of the
Democracy in this critical period
of the Republics existence, that it
should be read by every citizen
who believes in the simple, honest
government of the fathers. Gov.
Tilden wrote:
'sThe advanced Republican party is a rule
unto itself: its opinion of what it is
nient expedient it should do, is the only
Limitation of power which it acknowledges;
and it is its opinion that it should do pretty
much everything, in all places and with
respect to everybody.
''Such false system of political philos-
ophy does now, as it has in all ages, imme
diately degenerate into selfish raPacity.
''The most respectable representatives of
the prevalent ideas of the Republican party
voting money out of eyerybody's
pockets into their own.
''In this condition of things, nothing but
the principles of the Democratic party as
maintained by Jefferson and Jackson can
save the country.
.sThere is no organized agency that can
give effect to these principles except the
Democratic party.
''The Democratic party should pursue 4
liberal policy, in all its actions, and accept
as brethren all who stand with. it the
present issue.
cit is too powerful to be jealous. 1t has
too great motive for the restoration of its
own traditional principles of government to
an ascendency in the councils of the coun-
try, which they made great, prosperous and
happy. to think of anything less grand or

The New Orleans Picayune now
devotes certain amount of space
every day to the reproduction of
editorial utterances from the coun-
try weeklies Of this State. If kept up
this will no doubt prove an inter
esting- feature of the Picayune.
Unlike the Houston Post, Atlanta
Con stitution and other large dailles
the New Orleans papers have not
always cultivated friendly relations
with the ountry press. The coun-
try papers are not always chuck
full Of fine stuff, but it is possible
thing Of interest to the readers of
journals.

''Rate.Payer.'

''Tax-payer' VS.. 'sRate.payer. -
To the Editor Of The Lafayette Gazette:
LAFAYETTE PARISH. La, Sept. e, 1901.
In the issue of your paper of Sept
"A appears communication signed
by crate payer" In tina, com,nu
nication the roadoverseer of the
eighth ward is unjustly criticised
He is not only criticised, but he is
held up as law breaker who should
be indicted for having .screated a
public nuisance-" Rate payer'' is
either ignorant of the real condition
of affairs in this parish or he is
wilfully unjust.
Having been connected with the
parish administration for many
years, l am able to appreciate the
difficulties which must be met in
trying to arrive at an intelligent So
luton Of the road question. 1 be-
lieve that all fair minded men
will admit that the present Police
Jury has done splendid work in the
matter of roads. Of course, the
scarcity of funds must not be over
looked. Considering the limited
funds at its disposal, the Jury has
done very satisfactory work. THIS
parish was among the first in the
State to avail itself of the clause in
the new constitution to levy a tax
for the working of the public roads,
and l think all unprejudiced per-
sons will concede that the change
has besn most beneficial. Every
body knows that the roads are not
perfect. There is much to be done
yet. and If the good people will
stand by the Jury, a great deal will
no doubt be accomplished. sub
nit that men who are evidently
trying to do their best, should be
encouraged, and, if necessary, ad
vised of the best methods, but to
attack them in the fierce manner of
"Rate-payer" will certainly do no
good. The Jury is doing all it can to
give the people good roads, but it
is necessarily handicapped by the
scarcity of money. In order to
hear the people on this subject the
Jury called a Good Roads Conven-
ton, but only handful responded.
But despite this apparent lack of
popular interest in matter which |
SO intim ately concerns every citi-
zen, the Jury is exerting its best ef-
forts toward better system of
roads. 1t would no doubt succeed |
in doing much more if helped by
the people. Abuse, vilification, or
captious criticism will serve no
good purpose.
The eighth ward (whose over
seer is SO severely arraigned by |
crate payer'O has better roads to-
day than it has ever had. In that
ward there are about 28 miles of
road and the amount available this
year was about S4oo. But not
outstanding this small allowance
the roads in that ward are in very
fair condition. The member of the
Police Jury Of that ward has, at his
own cost, graded and put in first
class condition., the road along his
property and in an official capacity
has done as much as any one else
in this parish to give the people
good roads. 1t is conceded that
the particular spot mentioned by
"Rate-Payer" should have been
smoothed down but that could not
be done because the parish did not
have the proper implement for that
kind of work.
The ferocious attack of crate
payer" was altogether uncalled for
