PIOAYUNE PERFORMERS.

1t is not surprising that we have felt
great interest in the radical conversion of
the Picayune newspaper to Jealous war
fare for reform in political abuses in this
State. Its trenchant advocacy Of ''politi-
cal millennium" induced the belief that its
two hundred and thirty reformers could be
scarcely less than to the manor born, and
were ''fathers in the land" This impress
sion induced us to investigate the registry
list of voters, to confirm the opinion that
every one Of them were leal and earnest
workers for the cause Of which their paper
was the self-elected champion. But alas,
only about one-third of the names could
be found there. Considerably over two
thirds of them, hundred and Sirty,four,
are aliens and strangers in the land. A
number of them reside in France, some in
New York, others in Kentucky; some are
st. Louis merchants, and some, alas the
day. are residents of Boston, Massachu-
sets; some are subjects of Great Britain;
and even the Quaker City has its peaceful
and quiet-loving representatives among
these New Orleans reformers. How much
obliged we should be to these alien and
distant merchants for the interest they
take in our affairs-for establishing among
us this ''organ Of the people"
But this is not all. They have women
among them. Eight Of these stockholders
in the 'organ of the people" are ladies.
1t was difficult to ascertain precisely their
place of residence, but We assure the
public that we did not see among them
the names of Vicca Woodruff, Tenny
Clafin, Cady Stanton, Beecher Stowe,
Mrs. Andrews, Lucy Stone, nor any of the
high-minded, high-striking representatives
of the ''female race"
Of course, We can not impart all the in
formation we acquired on this subject in
single newspaper paragraph. Indeed,
it is so interesting that we shall have &C.
casion to recur to it frequently.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

The Bee, upon that side of its paper
which uses the Gumbo dialect of the
French language, declares that the Legis-
lature employs its time in discussing bills
'of public immortality" for the establish
ment of '.bad places" for the use of ''both
sexes and all colors, Sin the most crowd
ed streets of the city, and, proceeding to
declare that the Mechanics Institute is
filthy sink, from which ''all shame and hui
man respect are excluded" it calls for
vigilance committee to take the place Of
the senile and sloppy Fifty-one.
We are not at all surprised at this call
for vigilance committee. 1t is cheap
imitation of Paris communism, with its
arson and murder, just as the language of
the editorial is feeble imitation of
Partisan French.
But we are surprised at the want of tact
displayed in publishing in other columns
of the same paper, in both French and
English, the fact that the Senate had al
ready laid upon the table the very bill
about which the Bee was raving. This is
very weak If the Bee wishes tofire the
heart and terrify the modesty of the Third
District by making its readers believe that
the Legislature is going to do something
dreadfully immense-is, in fact, going to
legalize something like the opera balls of
Paris-it is certainly very damaging to the
force of its chaste invective to find, from
the news column of the same journal, that
the Legislature is going to do nothing OF
the sort. !,

WANTED, A PANACEA.

That sentiment and desire for reform
is the uppermost and most universal feel
ing prevalent in Louisiana to-day, is be-
yond dispute. The old and organized
parties have taken reform for their text in
the coming campaign, and a number of
old and experienced politicians, whose
armor was rusting from disuse, have
rushed to the field with no other watch
word or declaration Of principles than
Reform and Peoples Rights" Under
these circumstances, it is downright dis
tressing that the peryersity Of human na-
ture should create out of this general
longing naught but discord and strife
The able and astute Democratic leaders
have shrewd suspicion that only through
their efforts and immediate direction can
popular rights and interests be preserved !;
the Fifty-oners realistically assume that
the salvation of republican form Of gov
eminent can be secured only by placing
the management of public affairs in the
hands of lot of old non-registered tax
dodgers while the great mass of the peo-
pie, constituting the Republican party of
the State, are possessed with the firm con-
viction that their chosen leaders alone will
secure to all men the just rights and priv
ileges to which, without race or caste dis
tinction, they are entitled.
We are led to these reflections by the
fact that even the champion reformers,
whose sojourn in the Wilderness has be-
come matter of history, develop antipodal
ideas as to what the people want when
they drop Understanding generalities and
come face to face On a practical issue.
The Times, on whose broad bosom the
Peoples party was mustered, even if its
paternity is shared with the gentleman
from New England who is chieftain of the
yardstick brigade, declares that board of
returning officers to revise election reports,
and declare wherein fraud has been per-
petrated, is the grossest of outrages, and
one which, if maintained, will cause dire
and bloody vengeance to be wTeaked on
those who permit it. On the other hand,
our ears still ring with the earnest and
eloquent appeal of Senator Ingraham,
prominent in the cratic-Customhouse
reform coalition, to his brother Senators,
urging, praying, supplicating that they
retain this obnoxious" law, as the only
means of safety and protection for his
race. Ingraham and the Times are allies
During many trying weeks the former has
strenuously defended the latter for what
was considered outrageousparty treason
and now these doctors of laws disagree on
main and vital point: What are we to do?
What course shall the supporters of the
State administration, who are anxious

A PICAYUNE ASSAULT,

The reckless and mendacious course of
the Picayne toward public officers is hap
PLY calculated to destroy popular faith in
its integrity and reliability, while it can
accomplish no permanent harm to those
attacked. One of its latest essays in this
line is directed toward the immigration
Bureau, and accuses that board of refusing
to make its annual report, when, by proper
inquiry, the nickel organ could have ascer-
tanned that the report had been made at
the time fixed by law, and was printed,
ready to lay before the Legislature, when
the unwarranted language of its article was
penned.
Without commenting on the serious &C
cusation that Messrs Louis Schneider,
William De la Rue and the other commits
sioners are '.thieves and partisans" of
Governor Warmoth, and strangers to the
country" We desire to offset its statement
that the immigration Bureau could have
been rendered effective only by placing it
under control of practical and substan-
tial planters who had lands to sell or cult
vate," with the counter opinion of the
commissioners themselves. The report
declares that their efforts have ''proved
almost complete failure from the want Of
cooperation on the part of the landhold-
ers," and that the ''the number of plant
ers who have come forward and offered to
Northern or European emigrants induce
ments in the way Of homes for their fami-
lies, and the prospects of securing land
such inducements as are freely offered in
the Northwestern States, and are the chief
cause of their success in attracting immi-
gation-is exceedingly small"
1t is by listening to such teachings as
emanate from the Picaptne that the plan
tiers have thus stood in the way of their
own interests. Bitter and unreasoning
prejudices have been fostered until they
preferred their lands should remain un-
titled rather than be made to blossom and
bourgeon through the efforts of Repub-
ican officials. Emigrants to the number
of 1921 passed our doors during last year,
$3.50 of whom were between the ages of
twenty and forty years-the. prime period
of lusty ife-and those most interested
have not in the least exerted themselves to
assist in arresting their footsteps on our
own fertile soil. And so it will continue
to be until the Picayune and its kind are
cast out, and a hearty and hospitable well
come is extended to the alien and the
stranger. This stupid and selfish pre-
JUDGE which regards all newcomers with
distrust and suspicion, more than all
the reckless legislation, renders our lands
Improbable and our tax-burdens heavy to
bear.
We regret to see that the bureau is so
convinced of the inutility of their efforts
at present. that they close their report to
the Legislature with o recommendation
that their offices be abolished A sad, but
significant commentary.

present session bis voice and his vote have
been given ON the side of the public
interest.
There now remain but four more days
of the present session. This is all too
short to finish up the work already begun
and not half finished. Possibly not even
the public measures can be properly con-
sidered. We can assure the Democratic
members that we shall hold them to their
full share of the responsibility for any
failure to pass such measures as the public
good demands; for they could very easily,
by uni ing with the Republican members
who are in earnest, long since have
finished all the work they recently pre-
tended they were SO anxious to do.

DEMOCRATIC REFORMERs IN THE HOUSE.

DEMOCRATIC REF 0RMERS IN THE HOUSE.
The sincerity of the Democratic mem
bers of the House was put to fair test last
night, and Of course found wanting. An
evening session was held for the purpose
of considering and passing the revenue
bill, and such other measures of reform as
have been most loudly demanded by the
loud-mouthed followers of the latest politi-
the administration Republicans to dis
patch business and perfect the work be-
fore the House, with all the speed that ac-
crracy would permit. But the majority of
the House, including some of the Wilder
ness Republicans and Democrats, almost
to man, We're in no humor to work. An
hour and a half was spent in trifing, when
a motion was made to adjourn. The
Democrats voted in the affirmative, thus
putting off till tomorrow what should
have been done yesterday The vote on
adjournment will show who are the true re-
formers and who the mere pretenders.
Personal appeals were made to Messrs
Moncure and Thompson, two of the lead
ing members of the opposition, to use
their influence to keep the House in ses-
sion, and go on with the work; but all in
vain. They urged frivolous excuses, and
so the opportunity passed away. Hon.
Thomas Green Davidson, however, of all
the prominent Democrats, alone proved an
exception. On every occasion during the
