The west half of the Union Pacific
bridge as returned by the state board
at a mileage rate of $500 per mile
would figure on the assessment roll at
S1,566. If the state board figures must
be accepted for municipal taxation, the
aggregate amount contributed into the
city treasury for the west half of the
Union Pacific bridge, which could not
be replaced for less than half a million
dollars, would be the magnificent sum
of $15.66 a year on the basis of a 10-mill
tax. and on a 12-mill tax basis it would
aggregate $3.50, or about as much as

The Daily States, which is in
and out of season the loyal expo
nent of Southern thought and
Southern sentiment, protests
most strenously against what it
considers the inadequate accom-
modations which are being made
by New Orleans to receive and
entertain the Confederate veter-
ans at the approaching reunion
in that city. The States prop
erly believes that nothing is too
good for the men who wore the
grey, and that New Orleans, the
chief city of the South, can not af-
ford TODD less for the survivors of
the Lost Cause than Dallas, Mem
phis and the other places where
reunions have been held. In
recent years ew Orleans has got
ten to be one of the convention
Cities Of the union. It has en-
tertained large bodies of men re-
presenting the most important
branches of the commercia world,
but in our opinion it has not yet
had such q great opportunity to
show what it can do as an enter
tainer.

/OANSON'S APPOINTMENT

A charcoal blossom, known to
florists as the johnson flower,
now mars the harmony of colors
in the garden of the Louisiana
Lily Whites. The new bud is
profoundly black and has the
characteristic fragrance of it's
kind. The camelia, which is the
emblematic flower of the Lily
Whites. is scentless. and it is
said that Mark Hanna, with an
eye to the eternal fitness of things,
has decreed that Southern Re-
publicanism without it's tradi-
tional hue and fragrance is not
to be tolerated by true and tried
apostles of the &. O. p. Hence
the importation of the Senegau,-
bian sprig from the fertile soil of
East Carroll to give color and scent
to the federal dollhouse at New
Orleans. While this recent &C.
QUESTION may jar the estheticism
and spoil the color scheme of Mr..
Howell it will no doubt greatly
strengthen the Lily Whites in
the esteem and confidence of
the authorities at Washington.
johnson is to be deputy inter-
nal revenue collector in the Office
of Mr.. Howell, who has been very
insistent in his opposition to the
negro. He was one of those who
would deny any kind of recogni-
ton to the colored brother. He
was no doubt sincere at first.
We believe all the leading Lily
Whites started out with the in
tention of excluding the negroes
from participation in the Repub-
ican politics of this State. But
that was clearly an impossibility.
No Repu blican organization in the
South or anywhere else can long
exist with white supremacy" as
it's shibboleth. That principle is
essentially anti-Republican. The
time had to come when the Su-
gar Planters would have to quit
the Republican party or EN- brace
the negro in full political fellow
ship. The negro is more po-
tent factor than the Lily White
in the affairs of the National Re-
publican party, and in the game
of practical politics the lesser
factor must give way to the
greater when there is q conflict
of interests.
The appointment of Johnson by
Mr.. Howell to be his deputy in
the internal revenue Office shows
that the Lily Whites have de-
cided to no longer permit their
opposition to the negro to stand
between them and the Federal
patronage in this State.
