States in the Union, and willing
to do business with New Orleans
if we can offer as good terms as
New York or ST. Louis; but our
trade there has been crippled by
lack of railroad facilities, and
every new Texas railroad which
seeks IL terminus here helps
along. AS we have noted before,
the Texas railroads run to or
nearly to the Sabine and stop
there, and but two lines cross
the boundary between the ex-
treme southern and extreme
northern parts of the State.
The coming of the international

coined as move in the right

THE APOSTASY or SEN
ATOR ZONES.

Recent press dispatches from
Washington are to the effect that
Senator James K. Jones, chair
man of the national Democratic
com Dittee. has fallen from grace.
1t is generally accepted as a
fact that it was Senator Jones
who wrote the plank in the ma
tiOnal Democratic platform com
hitting the party to the Nlcara-
guam canal project, and he was
known as one of the leading ad-
vocates of that route for an
isthmian waterway. 1t is there.
fore not surprising that his vote
the other day for Hanna'S meas
ure, selecting the Panama route,
caused much indignation among
Democrats throughout the coun-
try. To say the least of it, the
indecent flop of the Arkans saS
senator is very suspicious. The
high position that he occupies
as the head of the Democratic
organization justified Democrats
to expect better things of him.
On the heels of this announce
ment Of Mr.. Jones betrayal of
his avowed political convictions
comes the report that he will be
rewarded for his apostasy by an
appointment on the canal COM
mission.
1t is to be hoped for the good
name of the Democracy that if
Mr.. Jones is given a fat job by
the administration as a price of
his traitOrOus abandonment of
principle. every Democratic
member of the Senate will vote
against his confirmation

redeeming qualities than either
Platt or Quay of the Republican
party. His favorite pastime is
to stab the Democratic party
while pretending to support it,
and he has been in the Demo
cratic ranks only for the purpose
of debauching them. Democrats
all over the country will be de-
lighted to hear that at last the
party has cut him adrift, be-
cause they have not forgotten
the fact that it was his treachery
and corrupt work which closed
the political career of that grand
old Democrat and statesman,
Allen G. Thurman.
Tom l.. Johnson is to be con-
gratulated for having the courage
to cast Mclean out of the party,
and in so doing he has rendered
the Democracy of Ohio a great
service.

LiUuOr Evll in Germany.

Count Douglas, Il descendant
of a Scotch soldier of fortune,
has proposed a resolution in the
Prussian diet asking the min
istry to bring in bill imposing
more rigid restrictions on the
liquor traffic All parties except
the Radicals supported the meas
ure. and the Radicals did not
speak against it. The reSOlu-
ton of Count Douglas set forth
that he was no abStainer him self,
and that. on proper occasions,
he liked good drink. But he
was deeply impressed with the
injury inflicted in Germany by
excessive Indulgence in drink.
The Germans, he added, spend
5000, ,OOO,O marks (S75O. 900, ,OOO)
per year in drink, twice the
amount of the army and navy
budgets, and 100000 persons
were brought before the courts
through drink. The mum Der Of
criminals was increasing by
10000 annually, and the number
of convicted persons had in
creased from 1892 in 1882 to
Ats, 139 in 1899. In the insane
asylums intemperance furnished
30 per cent of the inmates, and
80 per cent of Germany'S idiots
were the children of intemper-
ate people. The loss to industry
through excessive drinking was
incalcula BILE. Germany, while
leading the world in social re-
form Legislation, had done prac-
tically nothing against drinking.
The United States was far more
advanced than Germany in this
respect. He condemned the
drinking cult in the universities,
saying it was a jolly life while it
lasted, but it had many tragical
sequels.
Two practicing physicians fol
lowed with statements drawn
from their own experience. DR..
Endemann asserted that alco-
hOliSts succumbed to tubercle
bacillus much more easily than
others, and DR.. Martens said the
mortality in all diseases was
three or four times greater in
the case of alcOholiStS than
among abstainers, comparing

FAT PLACE FOR JONES
Slated for Member Of the Canal
Commission.

slated Tor MEMBER Oh thS tahd1
Commission.
Washington. June PA re-
port which is current in Wash
ingtOn tonight, and which is
meeting with general acceptance,
is that Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas is to be rewarded for his
vote on the isthmian canal bill
with place on the canal com
mission.
1t will be remem bered that
Jones. who for nearly eight years
has been the chairman of the
National Democratic Committee
and as such directed the last two
presidential campaigns, deserted
his party at the last hour, when
this matter was under consider
alton. He had written a plank
in the Democratic platform com
mitting the party to the Nicara-
guam route, and that route APP
pealed to the undOubted support
of the Senate until Mr.. Jones
deserted his friends to align
himself with Mark Hanna, who
championed the French scheme
to victory. Jones had already
been defeated in his own State
for recollection to the Senate and
would have undoubtedly retired
from the public gaze had his
vote not secured a place on the
canal com mission, which, if the
House permits it to become a
law, is to have four civilian mem
bers under the SpOOner amend
ment.
This is the second Democrat
whom the Republicans have re-
warded with spoils after a return
to the upper House appeared i'm
possible. The first was Nc
Laurin of South Carolina. but
the New England press has
raised such a howl against his
appointment that his contirma-
ton on the Court of Claims now
seems doubtful. There is strong
talk here tonight of concerted
effort on the part of all Demo
Gratis to prevent Jones receiving
the appointment for which he is
said to be slated.

a New Railroad to Texas

Times Democrat.
The Progressive Union few
weeks ago invited the railroads
within 300 miles of New Orleans
to extend their lines to this city,
so that they might enjoy the
great advantages it offers them
as market and port of export;
and the Legislature has under
consideration and will probably
pass a law granting charters to
all roads which extend their
lines into this State without the
formality of a special act of in
corporation.
The indications are that this
invitation and the arguments
presented by the Progressive
Union in favor of a terminus
here will have the effect of turn
ing a number of railroads in this
direction. We gave yesterday a
case in point. The international
and Great Northern Railroad,
which is one of the most impOr-
tant in Texas, possessing a large
mileage there, is coming to New
Orleans through the parishes of
Calcasieu, Acadia, ST. Landry,
ST. Martin and Iberville, striking
the Texas and Pacific at Donald
sonville and entering the city
over it's line.
New Orleans needs more rail
roads to Texas, and the Interna
tional and Great Northern will
be valuable addition to our
railroad facilities.
The business excursion given
some weeks ago to Texas brought
to our attention the magnificent
trade possibilities that the
Lone Star State" holds out to
us. that it is one of the richest

DEMOCR4 TIC H4 4RMONJ.

The recent attempt to harmon
ize the Democracy at the Tilden
Club dinner has furnished a
fresh opportunity to the Demo-
cratic leaders to reopen the
wounds of factiOnal strife which
time had only partially healed.
While the speech of Mr.. Cleve-
land will no doubt have Il sOOth
ing effect among the Eastern
Democrats, to the followers of
Bryan and Tom Johnson it was
like the unfurling of a red flag be-
piled snub offered to the Ne
braskan by an invitation to at
tend the dinner, but to cOntine
his ratorical powers to a discus
sion of the menu, was enough to
convince the Bryanites that the
harmony was to be de-
cidedly one-Sided affair. But
even among the other side the
healing properties of Mr.. Cleve-
lands balm seem to have utterly
failed to produce the desired eff
feet. Henry WatterSOn, the er
ratio though brilliant Kentucky
editor, who would mot com
promise with dishOnOr,' and
who was the brain and life of the
Indianapolis movement, could
not resist the temptation to ad-
minister a vitriOlic rebuke to the
sage of Buzzard's bay.
And there we are making
abortive attempts at harmony,
with our big men STOPPING to the
meanest personalities, engaged
in an unSeemly contest of mud
throwing which would disgrace
a gang of ward politicians. 1t
seems that instead of taking
advantage of the discomfort in
the Republican camp, the Demo
cratic leaders are bent on show
ing to the country how much more
they can widen the breach which
has already cost the party two
presidential elections. Surely it
must be an inor Innate egotism
which causes these men to OBJ
trude their personal likes and
dislikes upon the attention of the
rank and file when national is
sues of vast Importance present
themselves for solution. If Mr.
Watterson thinks that Mr..
Cleveland is an old inflated
boozer and Mr.. Cleveland thinks
Mr.. Watterson is blackleg, that
is distinctly their funeral and it
will serve no good purpose for
them to air their grievances just
at this time when we ought to
