NAVI0ABLE CANAL TAX.

It is with genuine pleasure that
we publish below the petition of our
taxpayers to the Council asking for ar
election for the purpose of leving a 8
mill tax for the purpose of construct
ing navigable and drainage canal
from this city to the Gulf. The un-
animity with which our people have
signed this petition gives great pro-
mise that the tax will be levied and
the great work which has been in
allegiance for many years will be an
accomplished fact and we shall reap
the benefit of the wise action of our
tax payers. The vote will be given
on the same day as the one for the
railroad in separate boxes and the two
great objects should go hand in hand
and both be carried unanimously,
placing us before the world as a pro-
gressive, enterprising people.

THE ELECTIONS.

Our dispatches indicate an activity
and success for the Democrats that is
very pleasing and that is interesting
reading The great city of the
Empire State is again in the hands
of the democrats by all overwhelming
vote the victorious son of the Veteran
G. B. Mcclellan, holds the fort and
will no doubt be the nominee for the
Democrats for President next year.
In Maryland the democrats have also
been successful, Notwithstanding the
Offensive partizanship' of the Prosi
dent This victory brings into great
err prominence that ever. Senator Cor
man, who will divide the honQrs with
Mr.. Mcclellan. In Kentucky, Gov
ernor Beckham's big majority gives
great encouragement and makes solid
that State for the Democratic Nomi-
nee in 1904. In Rhode Island the
honors are divided the Democrats get
ting only the Governor. In Ohio Tom
johnson is relegated to the rear and
will not figure in national politics for
some time as this decided and sur
prising majority of the republicans in
that State has completely buried him.
The Republicans have carried Pennsyi-
vania and their other strongholds but
enough has been gained by the Demo-
Gratis to give reason for the hope of
national success in 1904 The Presi
dent is making democratic voters rap
idly by his ilI advised manner of
treating the race problem fact that
will become very apparent as the cam
paign wears on. On the whole the
Democrats have much to enc courage
them, and if candidate is chosen by
the next cow ention on whom all can
unite victory may perch upon our ban
ners.

PARISH ELECTION.

Last Monday the Parish Democratic
Executive Committee met to canvass
the returns of the primaries held last
Saturday throughout the parish.
The result is announced in another
column where our readers can peruse
it. There were three candidates for
representative, two to be elected.
The three candidates were Mr.. A. \.
Morrow, Robt. +. Derouen and ]. G.
Akers. Mr.. Morrow having received
a majority Of the votes cast was de-
clared elected. Mr.. Derouen receiving
the next highest number of votes and
Mr.. Akers receiving within IS votes
of the number cast for Mr.. Derouen,
he contested the latters claim to cleo
ton asserting that owing to irregular
tiles in the first, second and third
wards, innocent of any intention to
defraud, that he could show by these
Irregularities that he would have re-
ceived greater vote than Mr.. De-
rouen, consequently insuring his cleo
ton. The committee has given till
next Monday for Mr.. Akers to pre- sent
his case and if his claims are of suffi-
cient strength, a new election in the
wards mentioned will be ordered,
thereby doing ample justice to each
party. With this exception the cleo
tion passed off smoothly and all ac-
guessed in the result.
