AN ENTIRE NEW DEAL.

1t was currently reported in political
circles yesterday that the Democratic and
Liberal parish committees had each
called up the respective nominees Of the
late joint convention ands asked for their
designations. All the candidates who
could be found during the day are re-
ported to have at once complied with the
unusual demand. The alacrity displayed,
however, raises the suspicion that each of
the oomplaisant candidates fully expects
to find himself offered the same posi-
ton or better one in the new deal.
If they are disappointed in this ezpecta-
ton there will be further trouble in the
camp. If they all get their places back
the present irritation viii superyene with
the aggravated force Of a relapse. 1t
seems to be an utter impossibility to con
centrate more than one-tbird Of the con
sentative force upon any one plan, policy
OF set Of candidates. The attempt to
consolidate has resulted in the widest
scattering that ever befel a political party.
The whole work Of the summer, bung-
lingly done at the best, has come to
naught, and chose elements opposed to
Radicalism" are now terribly at war with
each other.
Perhaps the best thing the conservatives
can do will be to take up the Reform
ticket, and depend upon it for a victory
over the Republicans. It is about the
strongest team that can be brought to the
scratch against US, but as there is no hope
for the other side in any case, they Will DO
as welPto figure as defeated candidates as
any others. Besides, they are all Demo
Gratis, and as principles and honest men
are all that any reasonable party can de-
mand, they ought to satisfy the malcon-
tents It is, Of course, none Of ops affair,
further than We may have slight interest |
in knowing at the.earliest practicable NO, j.!

WHAT Is WHAT 2

It puzzles even the REPUBLICAN to de-
eide which is the real Democratic oracle
just now. There are several organiza-
tons, societies and individuals that claim
to be the genuine representatives Of the
decrepid old party, but there are none
that can establish such legitimacy as to
attract the followers Of the 'ancient ira
ditions." This confusion and uncertain
ty, instead Of Fastening to a conclusion in
the face Of the election, intensifes and
deepens, separating the rank and file
further apart day by day. The Democracy
is dissolving corporation. It lacks the
great element Of cohesion, principle, for
there is none Of this vitaliziug quality
about any Of the organizations that now
faunt themselves before the community
under the old and historic name
The only interest that attaches to
the half-dozen Democratic organizations
and clans at present is the desire for Office,
and as this concerns the general public
but little, the mass Of the people abstain
from getting into fever about the small
matter Of this or that mans election The
club rooms are attended by considerable
crowds, it is true, but the. attendants are
either the c!oequers Of some individual in
terest, or they are mere idlers seeking for
some light in the midst Of the prevailing
darkness. It is a melancholy condition of
affairs, this, when the Democracy has no
great principle to dilate upon in public
and in private. The partisans wander
about like lost travellers, and the place
hunters are burden, as the grasshopper
is. A funeral or a resurrection is in loud
demand, and as there can be no resurrec-
ton until the end Of the world, why not
have the funeral at once?

LIFT POOR MEN STAND ASIDE,

One Of our noisy Reformers urges as an
objection to a candidate on the fusion
ticket: HE pays not a dollar of taxes to
the city or State Now, while we could
easily prove that the Objectionable candi-
date does virtually pay taxes indirectly,
and that the grumbling assailant refuses to
pay his, and boasts of his conduct in the
papers, we do not think it necessary, for
in one case it is a question Of political
economy, which none Of the Reformers APP
pear to know much about, and the other
is matter to be fought out between the
tax resister and the sheriff. But the taunt
is implied that the applicant for public Of
foe is a poor man, and for that reason is
not entitled to place Of honor, trust, or
elnolument As there is no property quail
iioation for office required BY the laws, an
objection founded upon mans poverty is
not a valid reason against him. But tie
tax resister and self-lauded Reformer dis
hnctly admits that the candidate '.has the
reputation among some Of our merchants
OF being an active, energetic young man,
and eminentIy fitted for the position he
now holds AS the position for which he
is SO eminently fitted j. an administrative

a GOOD CHANCE.

. The labor strike On the levee offers an
excellent opportunity for the disappointed
place hunters Of the various fusion con-
yentions to obtain fair situations and good
wages. -Four dollars per day, and eight
hours work, is about as much as any ordi-
nary man should expect; and such situa-
tons have this advantage, that they give
the occupants good appetites and delight
ful sleep: # the army of place hunters
that beseiged the different fusion assem-
blages will now show their desire to earn
an honest living, they can do it by organ
izing an coffee hunting society" and
marching down to the levee to the tune of
industry, four dollars per day and eight
hours work. a demonstration of this
sort would be very healthy thing.

THE Indians Dream.

When the Indian went to see the white
man, he staid with him all night. In the
morning he says to the white man:
."Me have dream lust night"
"Ah, what was 1t T.
Me dream you gave me your gray mare,
and that you gave me rifle; that you gave
me much powder, much ball, much shot"
"Did you indeed What dream"
Eyes, me dream il all
well that's bad, ttr my wife always
rides the gray mare, ami she thinks she
can't ride any other horse; hntifyou dream
ed it, why, suppose you must have her.
And my old rifle too my old favorte rifle
dream | gave you that toot'
Eyes, me dream rifle too"
"Well, if you dreamed it, why suppose
you must take that, too; but it's very sim
gular."
So the white man gave them all into the
Indians possession; but persuaded him to
tarry with him one night more.
In the morning the white man says to the
Indian
II had dream last night"
"No! did you3"
"Yes, but did, though; dreamed that
you gave me all the land between Ponju
ket river and Catapunch mountain"-about
three thousand acres of the most beautiful
land imaginable.
"Oh Bones of my fathers Wen, If
you dreamed it, why, suppose you must
have the land-but me never dream with
you any more"

Why Fish have Disappeared.

The streams and ponds upon every farm
can be utilized and made more productive
in food than the land. These waters have
had no intelligent husbandry until very
recently. The effort of every fisherman has
been to catch the last fish, and so far as the
shad and salmon are concerned, the last
fish has been caught in q multitude OF
streams that once swarmed with them. The
warfare upon these fish has been most de-
structive, because they were most coveted,
and their large size made them most easy
to capture.
When the country was first settled, all
the streams of any considerable size east of
the Hudson were full of salmon, and all the
streams north of Florida were we'll stocked
with shad and alewivcs. Shad are still
plenty in the Southern rivers, but in the
streams east ofthe Hudson they have great
ly diminished, and in most of the smaller
streams they have entirely disappeared.
The salmon were once so plenty that they
formed very important part of the food
supply of the people, and the old tradition
that it was stipulated in the indentures of
apprentices, that salmon should only he
furnished certain number of times each
week, is found to be an historical fact. At
the fisheries on the Connecticut River shad
could not be bought without the taking OF
certain number of salmon az Il make
weight in the bargain.
The depletion of these streams has been
occasioned mainly by the dammlng of the
waters for manufacturing purposes. This
began very early. The first settlements
We're made near the Shore and not far from
the outlets of the brooks and rivers. These
were damned to furnish water-power for
grist mills and saw mills, which were
among the first necessities of emigrants set
Ting in country covered with heavy tim
Der. These dams prevented the fish from
ascending to their spawningbeds, and they
very soon became extinct. The larger
streams were the last to be INSTRUCTED, and
the fish were preserved in them for several
generations. The salmon disappeared from
the Connecticut about sixty years ago,
when the river was damned at Turner's
Falls, and the shad had been rapidly di-
minishing for thirty years-since the dam
was put in at Hadley Falls, until artificial
propagation was begun, about six years ago.
