THAT class of sore head politicians who
avenge themselves upon their party by leav-
ing it and placing themselves in the front
ranks of the enemy, may learn something by
careful consideration of the cause that put
Mr.. Cole into the State Senate from York, in
stead of Mr.. Thompson. Mr.. Cole had al
ways been Democrat-had always adhered
with blind zeal to the Democratic organiza-
while Mr.. Thompson had once had the good
sense to be Republican, but from some
cause went over to the enemy and accepted
its honors. Not only the Republicans but the
Democrats pronounced their condemnation
upon this seeming apostacy by giving Mr..
Cole every vote.

The Doom of Thieves.

A wear ago Fisk was as prosperous and als-
parently secure a gentleman as America con-
tanned. He bore his blushing honors thick
upon him-honors won in field where, in
addition to the prestige of great success, he
gained the applause due to him as pioneer.
A year ago Tweed, Connolly, Garvey, Inger-
soil and Hall were pursuing their business
ofsteaIing the public money and buying votes
and legislatures as quietly and as peacefully
as other men sold -four or gambled in stocks.
These men had made stealing respectable.
Instead of getting themselves imprisoned,
they got themselves elevated to the highest
political positions and were in excellent stand
ing socially. Young men all over the coun-
try were beginning to mark out line OF con-
duct like theirs, hoping to attain like wealth
and distinctson. Jim Fisk, bedght with
glittering jewelry, clad in uniform, dwelling
in palaces, leading regiments, the own
er of railroads and steamboat lines, Hat
tered by a crowd of devoted followers
and not disdained by women, was SEEM
ing instance of the complete triumph of reck-
lessness and crime. 1t began to be thought
the proper thing to swagger, to carouse, to
STEAL to Responsiveness and to defy the moral
sentiment of the world. The influence OF
Fisk and his associates on the moral tone of
the country was tremendous. The judicious
grieved, to be sure, but their homilies in the
newspapers and magazines had little weight
on the young man whose imagination was
impressed by the substantial glories of Fisk's
equipage or the gorgeous wedding of Tweed's
daughter. $3.50
But the pageant has faded. Tweed is ruin
ed and disgraced. He has been under arrest
and his utmost ingenuity has just suf6ced te
keep him out of Jail. Nemesis has overtaker
Connolly, too. He has been in Jail and is
now in hiding. Hall is still Mayor of New
York, but he is no longer the object Of any
mans envy. The Ingersolls and Garveys
are fugitives from justice. And Fisk is dead
foully murdered, it is true, but still the victim
of his own dissolute courses. 1t is now seer
once more that one may as well defy gravita-
ton as the moral law. There may be some
delay, but the ultimate ruin of the man who
has concluded that crime pays is sure. The
moral is trite one, but it is not more than
once in century that it receives so forcible
an enforcement as it has from the inroads
made by death and the law upon the corrupt
masters of the American metropolis.

The strength and nervous energy of the human
body ought to be increased during the winter for
reasons: In the first place, diseases of the most

be put in condition to Withstand the effects of the
spring miasma, and the subsequent depressing heat
of summer 1t is therefore advisable in fact essen
sentia to Tone regulate and nvigorate the digestive
and secretive organs at this period Of the year, and
Of allthe stomachics and alternatives at present
known, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the most

the brief existence of the Maine Liquor
Law, a Snowman made his appearance in a
certain town, with a small dirty, tattered
canvass tent, a half-starved wolf, and a
suspicious looking keg. The admission
fee of ten cents was cheerfully paid by a
number of persons who manifested a
peculiarly strong desire to see this very
common and Misunderstanding specimen
of The animal kingdom. But the oddest
part of the show to the bystanders was
that one visitor went in to ''tal1e another
look at that WOLF no less than seven times
during the afternoon. The secret was at
last revealed. After some unsuccessful
attempts to start for home, he approached
the tent door with an unsteady step, and,
handing his last dime to the Snowman,
said, Il b-believe I'll take just one more

guide to this sudden appreciation seems TO
consist in the coming election Of the board

United States before any and every other

THE LULL IN POLITICS.

There is evidently a lull in the political
excitement that so recently agitated tie
| community. Nor is il astonishing, since
after every storm comes q calm. But that
which is really perplexing about il is the
difficulty politicians experience in ascer-
tanning precisely where they stand The
people are indifferent and only d75ire a
good government, but party hacks are
troubled, for they want to know which
side will be uppermost, that they ny Sc
cure good Office.
But all this will work together for good.
1t will cause the people to reject, and al
alyze the motives and pretensions Of the
organizations claiming their support.
It is a we'll understood fact that tie
people will support that party wL:ci, VII
most readily subserve the general we'll
being. For some reason, the commercial
and planting interest in Louisiana has Ge-
Perforated. The Democrats and RefOrIlers
ascribe it to the Republican party-to e.
cessive taxes and unwise laws. Th;a IS
mistake. While it might iniure :, could
not paralyze the commercial and planting
interests OF the country.
The cause lies deeper than this Il IS
not taxation bUrdensome as It IS, ro~ bad
laws many as they are, which re,ar5 1he
prosperity of the State. Il is want OF
commercial enterprise. It is the need O.
railroads, the scarcity Of the avenues Of
trade. This is tie fault When New Or
leans sends out in every possible direction
lines Of travel and commerce, q new era
Of prosperity will dawn for her peop,e
But not until then. This is patent 20
every rejecting mind
IL view, then, of this fact, Whit IS tho
duty OF this people: The question involves
the answer. It is to encourage the build
ing Of railroads and the revival oi trade.
But how is it to be done? Not by erc0ur-
aging those political organizations which
are opposed to it; not by electin9 these
men to Office who have frowned upon
every enterprise of this description. On
the contrary, the way to accomplish ends
SO desirable is to confde the direction o.
public affairs to those WHO have always adj
vocated system OF internal improvements
which will put our State upon an equal
footing with her great commercial rivals
Of the North and West
Now in all fairness we asI, who has been
most prominent in the furtherance Of this
purpose, the Governor or his enemies? It
is question to be reflected On and an
swered after due deliberation Has he not
been first and foremost in al Of these IN
dertakings; and looking to the prospective
advantages to be derived from the railroad
system that has been projected? Is he not
entitled to the gratitude Of the people? No
man but wishes to see New Orleans Pros
porous and our trade upon footing that
will rank our city among tie great com
mercial ccnters of the continent To dc
this We need only to encourage tie wise
and executive saaacity which
has taken the initial steps to accomplish

turing industries and added to the re-
sources Of the country, and that whateve'
views we may entertain upon the abstract
questions of protection and free trade
the men charged with the business OF
making and administering the laws can
not be Indifferent to facts, nor can they
| suddenly abandon the present system and
enter upon a new policy in obedience to
any theory, whatever its origin, however
long defended or by whomsoever .n1aln-
tanned.
The Secretary is inclined to think ss-s-
TEN of drawbacks would not only be very
unequal in its operation upon builders IN
different sections of the country, but that
it would encourage the use Of foreign ma
terials, to the exclusion Of domestic manu-
facturers, unless We resorted to bounties,
as the equivalent Of the duties which
would have been paid upon the domestic
articles used if they had been imported.
And this he is not inclined to favor. The
Secretary believes these statements have
still greater force when considered With
reference to the construction OF iron YES
sells. He is con7inced, from recent con-
versations with men well versed in these
matters, that We have in this country
various iron ores which, combined viii
produce plates possessing from ten to
twenty per cent more of textile strength
than plates made Of English iron. Hence
he is anxious to encourage the U.s. Of
American iron for the purpose OF testing
these opinions.
Should these statements prove TO be
true, then, continues the Secretary, re-
gardless of labor, capital and every ad-
vantage which Great Rritain proposes, We
shall transfer to the rivers and coasts o.
this country the construction Of iron ships
for the entire world, except as England
shall come to US for supply of iron.
The object of the Secretary's bill IS to
promote our maritime and commercial il
terests. and We believe it is elninenny cal
cuIated to do this if his ideas are adopted
and faithfully carried out.

never more popular than now. BY the
