drags heavily, and to whom all

We rather like the tone of the
following from the Ibeville South:
On the one hand we read and hear
of efforts to re-organize the Demo
cratic party of Louisiana, and OH
the other of efforts to reorganize
the Radical party. And what is it
all for. For the resuscitation of
her PROSTATE industries; for the
attraction of immigrants and
capitalize. These political move
ments can only injure our great
and real interests. Louisiana be,
at present at least, independent
of parties. We want union and
harmony among all classes of our
population in order that we may as
ono man repair the ravages of war
and start our State on new career
of material Improvement and pro
gress. Those combative people
that must have SOMEBODY or some
thing to fight had better show their
courage in graphing with the diff
culties ofthe situation thanin vast
ing it upon political shadows.
Those who burn with patriotism
win be more usefully employed in
assisting the people ofour suffering
State to lift it up out of dust and
desolatiOn Of the war, thanin shed
ding useless tears, or exhibiting a
rage that can only harm them
selves. Which class ofmen is the
most useful-those who 60 to bed
every night groaning, rise in the
morning threatening, and pass all
the hours of the day in devising
schemes of vengeance that neither
they nor their children's children
may ever have the opportunity of
executing, or that class who rally
their energies as best they can
submit to the inevitable-go cheer
fully about their business and help
with all their means and influence
all projects of public usefulness?
The one class is worse than useless
while the other is working out
the true problem of life.
