THE oowAgDrCE OF BUSINESS MEN.

1t may do no good to say so, but still it
is our duty to say it to the white people of
New Orleans, that they are themselves to
blame for all their political misfortunes,
and that SO long as they continue kicking
up such tantrums as they are now en-
gagged in they will not amend their pros
poets. The bad men only profit by such
disorders as now prevail, because bad
men profit most in bad times. If the
business public of this city had more
courage than it has it would throw off the
miserable domination that has held it in
subsection for years to the ruin almost Of
the place. There ere men wso consider
all the Democratic professions as they
would a procession of lunatics, and yet
they illuminate their windows in
response to the demand of these
harpies. Half the mercantile community
swears in its heart when it puts On the
war paint of the Democracy, and it is
only by keeping up system Of terrorism
about the loss Of business that this tribute
of hypocrisy has been exacted. If the
merchants would assert their independ-
ence of the political clubs that live off OF
them, they would assist in restoring a
greater degree of independence into the
public mind Of the city, and they would
soon put an end to the insolent demand
upon them to close up their stores in order
to do honor to some fellows who think the
country is wickedly governed unless they
are its governors.

The PicoWrne and Bee demand that
''the various corporate Institutions OF the
State shall contribute money to support
the revolutionary attempt to be made in
behalf Of John McEnery & Co. \ holder
proposition TO rob innocent citizens was
never conceived by Dick Turpin OF Jack
Shepherd Many Of the stockholders OF
the banks and insurance companies the
corporations especially referred to-are
Republicans who are in fall S mpathy
with the Republican State government,
and many others are fair minded and law
loving opponents Of our party. who dis
c0untenance the proposed evolutionary
measures and detest its reckless pro-
jectors. Yet it is proposed to forcibly
take their money and employ it to over
throw their principles and destroy the
government of their friends. Insult
added to injury.
If the reyoIutionists will contine their
assessments to the Levee Company, the
Slaughterhouse and other swindling mon
opolies, it will be all well enough so far as
We know or care. But if bank and insur-
ance directors are drawn into such an out
rageous scheme Of plumber. we hope the
injured stockholders will take measures to
protect or recover their property thus mis-
applied.

A FEARFUL CAUSE OF EVIL

Now, during the winter is the ripe time
Of the city of New Orleans. This is the
season when the town was wont to groan
beneath the movement of commercial
values and when two hundred thousand
strangers Sat down within her limits.
People came from everywhere as to an
American Paris. The war disturbed this
condition of affairs, but we were slowly
recovering our former position when the
Democrats set up their demand for agita-
ton and disorder, and now we are afflicted
as with blight. People are prevented
from coming to the city because of the
perpetual threat Of revolution that menaces
the peace of the city. Quiet people will
not visit place where their nerves are
shocked by the talk Of fighting that pre-
walls and has prevailed in New Orleans.
Traders are inundated from visiting us
at present because they do not know what
confusion they may find themselves in
volved in. Reasonable and orderly people
are departing from amid a community
that seems to be wanting to fly at each
others necks. A miserable tribe of Demo-
cratic place-hunters keep. this entire ex-
element alive. The crowd that makes
the noise, that drives AWAY our business,
gathered in Exposition building on
Thursday night, and is now sending out
its committees to tax the merchants whose
business they have ruined, for money to
enable them to perseYere in their disas-
trous politics.

Boys and drunkards had better be kept
away on Monday, as there is serious work
on hand about that time, in which the city
is deeply concerned. There is one OF the
standing problems Of human life to be
solved, where there has been much bully
ing ON one side and much giving away on
the other, until at last the retreating party
has concluded to retreat no more. The
men who are attempting to overthrow the
government of Louisiana are charged with
the responsibility OF restraining the boys
that fame out in their nightly professions
and commit such disturbances when they
return home that the neighborhood is dis
turbed for hours. What they order to be
done let them send sober and discreet men
to do.

CAUTION TO MERCHANTS.

Parties going about with subscription
lists and requesting business men to close
their stores on Monday should be closely
scrutinized. They are more intent upon
raising money for their private benefit
than for any other purpose We learn
that few timid business men were yes
terday cheated out of small sums in this
way, and also persuaded to sign an agree
ment to close their houses. The latter is
a purely business proposition, which every
man ought to be able to decide upon for
himself, but the extortionate practice is
clearly defined in the statute of frauds.

POINTING THE WRONG WAY,

If the one thousand noisy and incessant
applicants for Office who assembled III
Exposition Hall on Thursday night can
make and unmake governments in Louisi-
ana as they pretended to have the power
to do, what might not the five thousand
better people who assembled under Bar
NUNS circus tent be justified in claiming
the right to do? AID if any crowd can
inaugurate itself-just by being crowd
what is to prevent Basin and Gallatia
streets from having larger delegation in
Office than it has?

political history of the State.

AN EMIssARY AT THE EXHIBITION

When Colonel Eugene Waggaman swore
off from paying taxes at the Exposition
building on Thursday night, he should
have been suddenly seized upon and Ku-
Kluxed by his hearers as one who was
plotting against their very existence.
About one-half Of the crowd that distilled
a delicate whisky perfume out Of its every
pore on that occasion, lives in some way
or another off of the taxes. And yet Wag-
gaman proposes to have no taxes. Kill
him, ku-Klux He is your enemy.

ILLUSTRATING MEXICAN RAsCALITY.

Wherever a Mexican bandit, who has
come to an understanding with three or
four hundred hungry men like himself,
proceeds to set Uo government i'll any
Mexican city, lie at once issues a procla-
nation advising the. people to shut up
their stores and respond to the service of
God and liberty. The reason for this is
plain. He can not trust his followers,
and he takes this precautionary measure
to prevent them from plundering the
stores Of those whose money bags he has
his eyes upon. We have been favored
with all the symptoms Of just such case
as this in New Orleans. Now, it is q ques-
ton whether the business interest Of this
city ought to allow itself to be bullied into
shutting its doors every time a mob Of
Democratic Office hunters passes by. Men
VINO pay license to keep open shop
should and will be protected in the right
to do So

A KNIFE THAT CUT ITS OWNER.

That was a curious reform movement
which involved itself in such frauds that
it not only saved its enemies but destroy
ed its friends Those are curious reform
ers who advise us to hate the Republicans
because they have been extravagant, but
who steal into the public treasury even
while their solemn admonitions to honesty
and watchfulness are sounding in our
ears. And yet the very men who mas
queraded all over the State in the name
of reform, and who told us so often about
the beauties Of honesty and economy,
while they were quietly perpetratihg o.
consentin9 to the preparation Of frauds
to the amount Of half million of dollars
upon the treasury, met in Exposition
building on Thursday night and essayed
to cheat the people again with more Of
their treachery 1t is time Mr.. Charles J.
Leeds left off attending such places, or it
viii become an open question whether he
is weak of intellect or wicked Of purpose.

WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE ASKED TO DO

WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE ASKED TO DO.
Once more the quiet people of this city
are invited to desert their occupations and
callings and throng the streets. The bust
ress men are invited to come forward and
do battle in the cause of the defeated poll
ticians The merchant is asked to leave
his store, the banker his ''parlor," the
artisan his workshop, the laborer his en-
ployment and all hands whatsoever their
avocations, to come forward and assist to
swell the mob that is expected to fill the
streets on Monday. These appeals are
not, however, addressed to the whole city,
but to those only Of a particular political
faith. It therefore appears that the cause
which calls for a gathering of the clans is
not general evil or common danger, but
one in which only part Of the population

LET BOTH SIDES SPOT,

Spotting IS game that two can play at.
The men who consent to close their stores

spotted as too weak to know how to at

WHERE THE TRuTH IS WANTED. e

The way to reform is not back to the
Wharton and DaPonte crowd, but in the
other direction. The movement that in
augurated itself by fraud on the treasury
in favor of such a mass of corruption as
the Times only needs to be explained to be
rejected. And the people of New Orleans
do reject it, and SO would the white peo-
pie Of the parishes if they understood it as
well as we do. The honest portion of the
country people do not understand the
true condition Of affairs because the press
they rely upon for information as to mat
tiers that concern the State has about as
much ability to discharge its duty i'll
spreading correct information as a quarter
of an inch hose has in carrying off a ten
inch stream. The general lack of intelli-
gence among the chivalry in what it
should be intelligent about is the greatest
strength of the selfish demagogues who
control it, and the greatest source of
danger to the liberties it talks about so
fervently and violates SO unctuously.

the Louisiana usurpation, and Of course
facts are not-allowed to stand in the way
of an opinion. Here is an instance OF the
way the Herald makes history
THE LOUISIANA UsURPATION.
A dispatch from New Orleans to Attorney
General Williams states that the Supreme
Court of Louisiana will soon render final
decision on the legality of the Warmoth
returning board of elections. The State
government, defeated by the people, but
forced into power through the orders of a
federal judge, backed by federal bayonets,
having abolished adverse courts, driven
from the bench all independent judges, and
filled their places with partisans, now de-
sires to create the belief that its cause is in
the hands of the State judiciary. The peo-
pie will not, however, forget that Louisiana
has been revolutionized. by federal power,
and that the federal usurpation consum-
mated in that State, if suffered to pass un-
rebuked, may be praceiced in New York
four years from now.
Here is the truth. The Supreme Court
of Louisiana is com posed of five judges.
-Four of them were appointed in 1868;
they hold Office for eight years. The other
judge was appointed by Governor War
moth just before his impeachment. Judge
Kennard is not a Republican.
