visions of the reconstruction laws, and the
forfeiture of many of the rights secured to
the colored man
But this would not be the worst evil.
The party once abandoned, could never
be revived. The history Of other parties
are examples of what ours would be-
| come. Indeed, the abandonment on the
part Of Republicans of their party atfilia-
tons is precisely what our opponents wish
for. It is what their Vaccinations have
all been designed to secure. This is the
reason why they hold out to Us. in glitter
ing generalities, the glory Of the reform
movement-the prestige Of the Democratic
coalition. But they are insincere. 1t is
not patriotism that urges them to this
couse. It is political ambition. They
want to rule where the Republicans now
| reign.
But an adhesion to party principles does
not involve support of all tie bad men
that profess allegiance to the Republican
party. On the contrary, We should get rid
Of them. Neither does it pledge US in op
position to the reform of political abuses.
This is Indispensable. 1t is upon this
principle that the Governor ana the Re
publican party in this State have labored
SO assiduouslv to purify the party and re-
move local abuses. It was this Hberality
OF views in regard 10 party allegiance that
brought about orr legislative troubles.
The coalition between the Democrats and
the Customhouse Republicans inperiled
the security Of the State government and
broke down the barriers OF peace and
order.
It is true that Republicans can differ
about the best means to accomplish given
end, but once destroy tlte allegiance of
party and We may bid good-by to al our
hopes of securing the prosperity and sub
serving the good Of the nation. All the
scattered elements OF adverse parties will
at once unite against Us. The ascendency
We now eujoy will pass into other hands
and the history Of the Republican party
can be written in its defeated hopes and
practical inutility.
In this State We are pledged to reform.
The Governor has st an example which
if Republicans reflect wisely, is the best
record we can have. Devoted to the best
interests Of the State and nation, and pre-
serving our party allegiance, we can secure
the frlition Of all We hope for or desire.
We repeat our hostility to any surren-
der Of our party ascendency, or any coali-
ton with adverse elements which may
possibly involve it.

TEE ASCENDENCY OF PARTY

In very elaborate and able article, NIr.
ColtaX discusses the duty Of the Repub-
ican party in the present political crisis.
He insists that It can not wisely surrender
its present ascendency. To our mind the
fact is self-evilent. The Republican Or
ganization has just begun practically its
career. 1t has introduced many theories,
but, excepting the primary one of the in
divisibiiity Of the States, they are mostly
in the initiative.
There is nothing, indeed, complete
The true, earnest, Republican looks
upon his party much as the missionary
does upon his religion. It is designed to
accomplish great things. It is destined to
eradicate false theories, instill pure political
ideas and work the moral renovation of
the government. No Che, OF course, puts
faith and confidence in the higher law
theories too frequently coupled with it.
Bat as in an earlier period of the govern
ment the Wing and Democratic parties
subseryed wise and noble purposes, SO has
the Republican party in this stage of the
country's history met great want, q
practical necessity.
1t would be unwise in any event to SUI
render our party ascendency, because in
doing 50 We practically surrender our
party principles. No mere local neces-
si}y Will compensate for such q calamity.
WITH the power Of our party will pass away
an TIE great measures it has undertaken.
ror "hen 1t ceases to rule, the opposition in
some disguise or other will have the as
tendency. 1t may be called Democratic,
or heformers; but whichever it is, is GER
tam to be opposed to the measures that Sc
cured to the Republican party the firm hold
it has upon the people Such a contin-
Sency may probably involve the repeal Of
the constitutional amendments; it vould
certainly lead to the annulment of the pro-

all these projects should be discussed

One of the great causes OF high taxation
and heavy licenses arises from the neglect
OF taxpayers to pay their taxes, and of
license PAYERS to meet their obligations
promptly to the State government Large
sums are annually uncollected and there
seems a general reluctance TO pay up. The
State tax collector of the First District of
New Orleans, George A. Sheridan, gives
fair notice to those who owe for licenses
that if they do not pay then oelore the
fifteenth instant, they will be collected by
legal means, which will involve heavy costs
and some perplexity. We advise those who
have not yet paid their State licenses in
this district to SO do at once, and save
costs.
