Meanwhile the people of this section are waiting for the work of construction to begin.-[Shreveport Times. -IF sonime of the gentlemen who spend their time in barrooms squandering their last cent for liquor, would pack up their traps and emigrate from this section, it wonid be a blessing to thecountry. They are the men who would kick about paying forty cents for a night's lodging, then go out muttering that they would rather lie out in the street than pay forty cents. However, the same men never once thought of kicking about the price of whiskey, they drink. That is the way some men are raised-if they want to sleep with the dogs, of course their ca nine instinct teaches them to go into a kennel and save forty cents in order to spend it for whiskey. Of such men, good Lord ! delirver nus-[Trinity Herald. -TilE receivers of the T. &d P. railway have managed the property well, as the following shows: Receiver Sheldon, of the Texas and Paeific,'was in ]l Paso Thursday last laying plans for the build ing of a separate freight depot, and ar ranging for the building of a separate road from Sierra Blanca, to connect with the Mexican Central. Governor Sheldon stated thatthe',Texas and Pacific made from 12 to 15Zper cent more money in 1886 than in 1885, and that 1887 would be even more remunerative. 150 miles of extensions have ,been made, $40,000 had been expended on improvements in New Orleans, new bridges have been put in and the track ballasted, and yet the earn ings of last year exceeded those of 1885 by $500,000. The expenses for 1886 were '225,000 less than 1885. Receipts from all sources, exclusive of certificates, were more than 8,000,000. -A Co.ORsrOSAN from the East said in Washington, in speaking of the inter state commerce bill: "It is a terrible blow to the railroads, and they foumgbt it off as though it was a death-dealing pla gue. For weeks I have been receiving wholc armfuls of literatsme from thebo rail roads against this measure. It came in the form of speeches of lawyers, inter views in newspapers with prominent rail road men, beginning with Vanderbilt and Gould, and going down through the li:t to the local agents, and comprised an inm mense array of argument against the Ipas snge of the bill and intended to edncate and influence the members againmast the meansure. To my mind such a blow has riot been deliv~eredl at the railroads in the history of the country. It is worse than the construction of a dosen trunk lines to be operated free to the people." -CAT. Sam Hynes,of this Parish, says tbhe Natchitoehes Review, has on his plan tation, about four miles above Town on Cane rivar, some 250 head of the fineat beef cat tLie we have seen for many years. HIaving made last year a very large qnan tity of corn. hie conceived the idea of pur chasing cattle, which in the fall of the year are always cheap, and feteding it to them. He purchased a machine which runs by steam and crushes the corn, eob and all, with about one bushel of cotton seed to every barrel of corn, nmaking a most excellent feed. In addition to this, in his pausture are large racks filled with fine bermuda bay (which Captain Hynes also raised) front which the cattle eat at will. Mre than a hundred of these cat tie are now sealt fat, aall will average 1500 poamndU each.

THE SHADOWS WHICH ARE CAST This year is the year for the setting of - the political pegs and for the stocking of the political cards. It is not: Will the Democracy win, but can the Democracy win t The Democratic party never was nor sever can be a party of make-shifts nor of side issues. It always ignored personali ties and personal aims and it owes its birth to the erection of immutable eco nomic principles inherent to all popular _ governments, those principles are and al 0- ways have been: Rotation in office. A tariff or taxation for reve nue only. A metallic currency, which ns by carrying within itself its rk own value, thereby makes it independent of govern S mental manipulations. ti No improvements by the Gen ia eral Government except such as are of general n utility. The Jacksonian era, which by its puril ie ty, its earnestness and its strength is the ideal era of Demcracoy, carried each and every one of those principles in strict practice. To the Jacksonian era this country owes its greatness; for true to the pledges of the grand party which then had the helm of State, Jackson nev er swerved one instant from his line of a duty, and with an iron hand carried out ýn all its principles. re With one stroke, Jackson swept a horde n- of office-holders who were fastening them selves on the government and who were ih increasing their personal power~iaml e wealth with the lengthening of their ten ure of office. Next the United States bank had to go. i- Its hold on the government and its reve nues was so great that it had grown above all control and checks. Its treasun y ry was the Government. Unchecked it r, was carrying on its rottenness, covering o its nefarious steps by fresh villainies; but Jackson ernshed it to the ground, and at r- the unveiling of its peculations and infa r- mies the country wondered at its own i- gullibility and from thence accepted the d Democratic theory of: no revenues except 1 e such as are necessary for the Government and no currency except a metallic one d and that to be without limits and to be o equal in value and extent to the require ments of the country. The Almighty never gave to any nation such a dowry in lands and wealth as He I h gave to the United States; therefore from the earliest days the greedy eyes of the vampires of States and commonwealths i were fastened on this Republic. Jackson f and the Democracy frowned on all efforts to speculate on the domain and wealth of the Republic. limiting-the appropriations to a strictly national use. We could then I point with pride to our navy, and our Smerchant ships covered the seas; the I k army ever on duty patrolled thousands of i t miles of frontiers, and the staff as well as 1 the officers lived in barracks; the citizen and the emigrant had the whole breadth 1 l of the continent from which to select a U r homestead, and the laborer accumulated 1 r wealth and reached the highest stations. t But now where are we Our navy is a y myth and car merchant marine is a thing g of the past; the army is aburlesque, while o the staff and officers live in palaces; and e where is the public domain? It is en - gulfed in the pockets and held within the e hands of a few huge corporations and of a f ring of governmental speculators. The ' citizen and the emigrant might travel in o vain, for each available section is al L- ready bartered. a That is the problem which faces the o Democratic party. Can it win, while it d shambles with the flesh pots of the par ties it was reared to oppose and it is its d lestiny to destroy Once let office, pelf Sand speculationgbe its aim, then will dis -cord split its ranks and defeat be the oresult. .A Democracy.can only be governed by principles, for as it represents a whole, e all legislation must be of a general char b aeter, therefore it admits of no compro amises nor middle measures. It must be e either that one thing or none. If rotation in ofiee is a fundamental SDemocratic prineiple then all offices must fbe periodically swept out for a change. Ifpub!ic morals and public safety de . mand a revenue, for expenses only, then Sall tariffs and revenues must be cut down towards that end. SIf a metallic currency is a safeguard Sagainst stock jobbing, speculation and 1l dishonesty, then it must be the standard C of the governmental issue and it must be unlimited in its emission, for thereby will d the illegitimate issue of paper money be e- curtailed. e If the public domain belongs to the peo it ple, let it be for the people only, for its 1 subdivision will enhance its value and in g crease the welfare of the people. I- Those are the articles of faith which, in n years past did keep the Democratic party - at the helm of State, and when it swerved - fronm its line of duty it went down amidst d the flashes and thunders of a civil war. t So it has been and so it will be may be Sto-morrow, may be next year, but come it Snill for fundamental truths and princi e ples make parties, but parties only create e personalities. Therefore when party and e principle cease to walk together both n must fall, for the indlividual then takes s the lead and when he does the State ceases to exist. SWhlle groping under a cloud no party was better handled than the Democratic '- party; it reached power against an almost n invinclble opposition and with a valor it true to its traditions. But shall it relax now and swerve '' Therefore a solid party and iixed prin - ciples are imperative. One thing can be I- relied on as true and that is: if the Demo e eratic party must live, it can only exist [ by being faithful to the tenets embodied Sin its platforms ever since its birth, oth It erwvise it must fall.

MeEnery tN the gubernatorial chair, the good people of Shreveport have witnesseedthe comple tion of the Vickaburg and Shreveport railroad, which has opened for them ar avenue of trade and travel thronugh the Northern belt of Parishes; the Shrevopori and Houston railroad, with the adjacent Southwestern Parishes, and the Texas Pa aific with the rest of the. State and with New Orleans. To complete ithe het work ef railroads that is destined to make Shreveport one of the great commercial centres of the Southwest, Jay Gould is at this moment negotiating with its fortu nate inhabitants to build another rail road to Hope, Ark., that will give them an air line communication with the prin cipalIWestern cities. Can it be that our able confrere of the Shreveport Times, has at last realized that the broad, public-spirited and ener getic policy of Gov. McEnery'seadminis tration, has contributed to some degree in encouraging the construction of these _.nes, which are benefiting Shreveport and its surrounding country in an incalcula. ble measure Else, somebody must have gone over the files of the Tiaes with him, and ,ainted out the fact that only five years ago, the sole railroad connection that Shreveport hadswithlthe outer world was over the rickerty forty miles of road to Marshall. Yet, from no other point has 0ev. Me Enery been fired at more unmercifully than from.the rapidly growing city of Shreveport. And we must give credit to our esteemed confrere of the Times, that he fleas been among the most zealous can noneers doing service at the anti-McEnery battery. Therefore, to what cause or agency must be attributed the following grudging acknowledgment which apgear ed in the Shreveport Times of the 20th instant: "There has been much said by friends and opponents of the State administration as to the beneficial or ill effects of its pol icy on the prosperity and progress of the State. Hymns of praise have been chant ed by strong McEneryites, while the op position indulges in harsh and bitter erit. icism of every line of policy developed by Gov. McEnery. First and foremost, the present administration deserves credit for the prompt and full enforcement of the laws. There have, been lapses here and there, it is true, but as a rule the State has enjoyed peace and tranquility. There have been some steals and defalcations, but they were the exception and not the rnle. The helm of State has been so held is to give the people an orderly passage icross a gulf of four years, and to-day life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, are within the reach of all citizens of the State. Now and then some ogre like Wit kowski rises to disturb our serenity, but he is the result of personalism in our State government, and may be charged to the weakness of the Executive in the matter )f recognizing and rewarding friends. fhle present State administration has carefully guarded the material develop nent of the State. Our levees, our rail roads, our manufacturing interests, have received attention; and while the admin istration has not accomplished any pro nounced result, yet the policy of the Exec ative has been such as to encourage the levelopment of our resources. For these bwo things we think the State adminis bration deserves credit; wherein it de eerves no credit, but merits condemna tion, we have shown in these columns be fore, and we shall doubtless show again." Our confrere has gone farther in ac knowledging the efficiency of Gov. MeEn ery's administration than its most ardent friends could have expected. Hence, they can well afford to smile over the comn pluints with which it is interlarded.- Elence, all the answer we will make to them is that we do not recall any defalea tions by any of the appointees of Gov. Mc Enery, and but a remarkably small pro portion by officials elected by the people under his administration. In fhct, we believe that we conleleasily prove by the records in the Auditor's office that no oth er adlministration has made a better show ing in that respect. Much has been said on several sides of the Witkowski matter, and a good deal more will doubtless be said, but opinion will scarcely divide in so far as the propriety of the Governor's action in doing all in his power to secure the arrest of the guilty parties in the West Carroll tragedy.-- [Baton Rouge Capitolian-Advocate.

Free Trale. The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefitted the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufac turers. Especially is this the ease with '"Green's August Flower" and "Bosehee'~is German Syrup," as the reduction of thir ty-six centsper dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more nmedicinein the 75 cents size. The "Angust Flower" for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the "Oernman Syrup" for Couh and Lung troubles have, perhaps, the argest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, mn every towli anid village in civilized countries.

The situation of the Louisiana dole gation, always with the exception o Mr. Blanehard aand Mr. King, in re gard to the coming tariff agitation i quite` as embarrassing as it was.as month, when the House decided not ti consider revenue matter. In theory they are in favor of tariff reform, bn how to Sccomplish this without impel iling the sugar interest is their grea problem. If the question once gets ul before the House the strongest inflo ence iVill be required to preserve thi sugar duties.: Consequently the delegation hai great hesitancy in assisting a move ment which may have as one of its re sults the reduction of the tariff in Lou isiana'is most important staple. Ii they find, as now looks probable, that they -will hold' the balance 'of powe between the two factions they will nat. urally use it for all it is worth. If, however, their votes will prevent any revenne masure from coming " befoe the House they will vote that way and thus avoid the danger outlined above. If they can receive assurances from both the Randall and Moraison people that in the framing of a hill sugar will not be touched they will support the motion to consider revenue matters They must, of course, receive very strong assurances, for it will require immense influence to. keep the hands of the House off of sugar if it is found that this one interest stood in the way of the passage of a bill reducing the surpluns.' The delegation is now en gaged in ascertaining whether the as surances referred to can be obtained. Naturally they are anxious to have some revenue measure passed this ses sion. If this Congress fails to take any action the next one will be coimn pelled to do so, and there is no telling bow the next one may do it. If, on the other hand, a bill can at present be passed reducing the revenue $50, D00,000 or $60,000,000 there will doubtless be no tariff legislation dur ng the next Congress and may be not For several years to come.
