An VAu SuUScCts
We regret exceedingly that our pa
per is published SO nesr the Capitol
Of the State, We would like ut times
to be in some remote corner where We
could talk with freedom, upon the sub
jcct Of its removal Anything coming
from us whore we are, must Of course
wear the complexion Of our prejudice,
and be tinctured with the passion in
to which we have been worked by list
esng to reckless waste Of time in
this immaculate legislature, thrown
away, to the neglect Of business in
fruitless attempts to remove the seat
Of Government. We are not surpris-
ed that New Orleans, should make all
kinds of ovcrtures, and offer all kinds
Of brides to the legislature and through
her representatives harrass the coun-
try members by interupting every sub
icct before the House with a motion to
remove the seat of Government.
But there is nothing to fear as long
as the country is true to itself. Arti-
Gle lO7 fixing the Capitol at this place
must remain rs it is, and if the matter
is referred to the people, a blacker
line shall be put about New Orleans,
than the mark of 1915. We can only
account for the insult offered the peo-
pie Of the State by attributing it to
the impudence and audacity Of the
New Orleans press; which is proven
bially the Rialto for stockjobblng Jews
and Mammon loving Gentiles.
All kinds Of brides have been offer
cd, privately, and publically to the
present Legislature to usurp the au-
thority Of removing the seat Of govern
mcnt Ito Neac Orleans Of course) and
we think that many of the members
deserve the credit of Lconidas for hon
csty and patriotism.
The question resolves itself into
this, shall the country be taxed and
its agricultural interest be drayed to
New Orleans to fatten foreign spec
ulators and domestic bloats, and pot
house politicians Will the country
the whole State at large submit to
this? We think not. This prchaps
useless article on a worn out subject
has been called forth by seeing anoth-
or offer from that charitable newspa-
per the Picayu,sc The Picayuue
offers the Charity Hospital and says
1T would serve excellent for the
reception Of the Legislature and State
officers in case the Seat of Government
was removed here. The site and ed
ifces erected on it belong to the State,
and at very little expence the buildings
could be converted into halls and
Offices for the purpose of State Govern
ment. There would certainly be am
pie accommodation in these fine build
ings for the Legislature, Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretaries, &c,
including the Board of Public Works,
Superintendent of Education, State
Engineer. &C., &c.
We are very glad to hear this. The
Legislature would prehaps accept this
offer if the business were not half over.
They have now before them, Congo
Square. the Globe Ball Room, the
Odd Fellows Hall, with comfortable
bar-room arrangements, and Charity
Hospital. We suppose that they are
standing offers, and VIC shall present

THE NEW WING PLArFoRM-APPEAL TO
OHIo.-The New York Tribune gravely pro-
poses to the wings and free sellers of Ohio
constituting no doubt solid majority of the
voters OF the State-a dropping Of all past
differences, sinking of all their existing
grudges against each other, upon the broad
cold water platform of the Maine Liquor law.
The idea is not bad one. In 1910 the union
Of the wings upon the hard cider platform cleo
trifed and revolutionized the whole country.
And why should not pure cold water
be as powerful rallying cry as hard
cider we should like to know. Moreover.
as the wings and the wing free sellers
Of Ohio, cut into two parties, can do nothing
but worry each other on the negro question,
while the enemy slips in between them and car
ries OF the spoils, why should the suicidal
game be continued, and what better medium
for harmonizing can there be than the Maine
Liquor law? All the old measures of the old
whig party are done for; the party itself, in
continuing to adhere to them is done for; and
there is no other resource for its reorganization
than a new platform with some good unques-
tionable popular hobby to start upon. The Maine
Liquor law is the thing. 1t runs tremendous
ly upon its own account; but if adopted as the
shibboleth of the wings it would be terrible
as an army with banners" Let the Ohio wings
reflect upon it, and act upon it, and let the
Ohio wing free sellers chime in, if they wish
the nomination of VIM. II. Seward as the Maine
Liquor law candidate for the Presidency in 1856.
They who would reap must prepare the ground
for the harvest. Cold water is the only thing
that can resuscitate the wing party of Ohio.
Let it be tried.
