live life of idleness supported
by the toll of those who have
probably not one half his physical

sites of their friends and them

their labor. Millions acres of land
are lying idle that would pay a
larger remuneration for the CAPT
tai invested and work expended
than the mines of California in

better to toll day after day for
simple subsistence than be idle.
The devil rarely visits a busy

ne In high glee at the success of
the negroes in the elections at the
South. Engineered by the Negro
Bureau and backed by the mill
tary, no other result was to be
expected. Take away that ma

equal chance and the "carpet

tracks" for home. The wonder is
that the whites have done as well
as they really have.

CANNED FRUIT AND VEGETA.
BLEs.-You may enter every gro
Gerry and cake-shop in Shreveport,
and Inning the shelves you will
observe Shaker preserves and I'm
dorwood pickles.
This looks very much like carry
> ing Goals to Newcastle. AS fine
cucumbers and melons grow in
= our gardens as are to be found in
the world, and fruit is loading oul
gardens and fields in such profu
sion that it is impossible to de.
stroy it all. How absurd then il
is to see steamers unloading al
our wharves with immense con
signments of pie fruit and pickles
! for confessedly the poorest people
, in the would, already supplied by
the bounteOus hand of nature
, with the very articles in question
! Would it be impossible for some
OF the carts loads of vegetables
which go begging through oul
, streets, to find their way into her
metically sealed cans, and floated
down the river to some other PEG
: pie, better able to afford remuner
, ative prices for their consumption
We think not. The establishment
of such an enterprise at this poin
would require a very limited out
lay of capital, would give employ
9 ment to.a number of unemployed
hands, would afford an outlet to
great variety of industry, an,
/ though apparently a small begin
. ing, would be in reality no incon
. siderable step in that pathway o
e independence and prosperity
which we must carve out for oul
o selves, if we wish to take tina
) front rank among the nations fo
which the God of nature has dc
signed us.

ing matter, &C., OF the Banner in
comparison with that Of Northern
papers. They say, for two
dollars they can get papers
hree.thirds larger, with more read
ing matter, ADLER editorials, more
news, larger pictures, &C., than
we furnish. We admit it. These
parties forget, perhaps, that where
we have one subscriber, these
metropolitan journals Of the North
have thousand. They also do a
cash business. No one thinks of
forwarding his name to any of
these Northern papers unaccom-
panied with the cash. But Sean
land is expected to publish a pa
per year after year ona credit, re-
ceiving, on an average, half of
his pay in curses. There is ma
terial difference between green
backs and curses. The former
will command paper, ink, labor,
bacon, corn, flour, good whisky,
draw-poker, &C., while the later
only makes a fellow feel bad, It
needs to argument to prove that
the metropolitan journals North
possess, and will always hold, the
vantage ground over the local
press Of the South and we have
no complaint to make against par
ties preferring to patrOnize these
ably edited, well-filled journals in
preference to our little sheet
"you pays your money, you have
your choice"
We do the best we can, under
the circumstances. We have no
apology to make for our short
