PARTIAL ELECTION RETURS.

Dallas, Texas, Nov. 4, 1890 p.
M Special TO The Eaglel-In-
dications point TO light vote all
over the state. An easy victory
for John n. Garner, Democrat,
was won in the Fifteenth congress
sional district, the only one inwhich
there was serious conflict. The
constitutional amendment regard
ing the suffrage has carried, un-
lees returns from districts where
the negro vote is heavy make a
greater change than now seems
possible.
Computations from figures re-
ceived indicate that Republican
ticket mas carried in New York
state. by about $4,000 majority.
The large Democratic gains have
not, however, reduced the Repub-
lean representation in congress
materially, If at all. The neagre
reports 30 far received from the
country all point to the reelection
OF a Republican majority in con-
gress.

The Southern Pacific railroad is
preparing to shorten up the time and
distance to New Orleans by utilizing
the crossing above the city at Avon
dale where provision is rapidly being
made for the transfer Of the passen-
ger trains Of the Southern Pacific,
from the west to the east bank of the
river, to the tracks Of the Illinois
Central Railroad, and by those tracks
they will enter the l. c. depot, near
the New basin, where all the passen-
ger traffic will be done. The Ely
sian Fields street ferry will in all
probability be used entirely for hand
ling local freight cars, and possibly a
local passenger train may leave and

GOV. d VIEWS.

Politically speaking the most i'm
portant event Of the past ten days is
the interview of Lieut.. Gov. r. FL.
Snyder on the subject of a general
white primary to nominate the State
ticket. He said:
II am in sympathy with the move
ment for and shall advocate the
nomination Of our next State ticket
through the medium Of a Democratic
primary for the following reason:
81. 1t is Democratic doctrine.
the soundness of which none will dis
pute, that all governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed, and it follows that the
method which most fairly and accu-
rately ascertains and records the con-
sent of the governed is the best, safest
and most democratic method.
20. Past experience warns the
Democracy of the State that the con-
vention method does not always re-
fleet the expressed will of the Demo-
cratic people. While through this
method it may be possible, yet it does
not always happen that an opportun-
ity is afforded voters to express or
even indicate their will so far as the
nomination of State officers is con-
cerned.
"5. The convention method is an
indirect and necessarily an ~unsatis-
factory one. Ward or mass meet
ings are held, which elect delegates
to parish conventions, these delegates

VERY SAD, II TRUE.

For fear we will again be accused
of slandering the GOOD people of St.
Mary in telling what the few BAD
ones do, We desire to say that the
following items are from the Frank
liz Vindicator News:
':Here in st. Mary we have a ring
II vicious and unc0mproml8lng
ring. which spreads over the ambi-
lions Of ~outsiders'' like a great
upas tree, destroying all who come
within its fatal range.
The parish of St. Mary has per-
mitted it's public affairs to drift
largely into the hands of those who
are using their authority for self
interest on the one side and corrup-
ton on the other.
These ringsters have no concep-
ton of democratic government they
care nothing for the wants and fears
of the people. Their constituency is
ignored; the constitutional right Of
petitioning for the correction of pub
lie wrongs is swallowed up in the
maelstorm of their own wrongs.
Men elected to the place of police
jurors, in whom the people have
placed a sacred trust, sit by as under
an infection of mental alteration and
physical paralysis, and permit the
interests Of those whom they were
elected to represent, to be dominated
over by the arbitrary will of dictators,
as though their positions rested upon
the mere su%fferance of monarchy.
Will Marsh, of Iberia parish, was
appointed road superintendent of the
public road system of the parish OF
St. Mary by the police jury. His
salary was fixed at a hundred dollars
per month. This position would
have been thankfully received by lots
of competent men in this parish, had
they been informed of the fact that
the police jury desired to employ O
road superintendent-and we believe
for less money. This appointment is
inexpllcable.
C. f. Borah was appointed parish
attorney at the last meeting Of the
police jury, in the place of w. X.
Wilson; the salary remains the same
I-S125.00 per year. Mr.. Borah is
not the District Attorney and there
fore cannot be the parish attorney by
any law that we know of. Section
4 of act So of 1880, makes the Dis
trict Attorney legal advisor for the
Police Jury and School Board, and
the law nowhere provides for an
assistant parish attorney. The Police
jury even refused to approve his sala-
ry warrant for the months of June
and July, or the ground, as w are
informed, that he had not been re-
elected when the other officers were,
in the face of the fact that the bud
get fixed the salary Of parish attor-
ney at the beginning of this year at
$4,000 per year, when Mr.. Wilson
held the position by mere operation
Of the law. OF course they are not
compelled to pay him any salary, it
does MT seem but whatever one is
actually fixed, belongs to him and to
no other. This is hi~gh-handed.
Can all these things be true, Dear
Vindicator? Dc you really have
''vicious ringsters," whose arbitrary
will is inexplicable and high handed !

We always feel sorry for the girl
who is struck on a fellow who will
spend a dollar for ice cream and
chocolate and three for a Sunday
buggy-ride for her on a S6-a-week
salary. Somehow we see visions OF
bare-footed children,a frowsy-headed
woman over the kitchen stove, tin
cans for dishes on the table and a
combination of corn cob pipe and a
man in the kitchen corner. The
young man who lives within his
means while he is single usually has
means after he is married.
