In Louisiana the French race is an exotic
which has never thrived as in parent land In-
oeed, this holds good Of this people everywhere
out of the mother country-in Algeria, Martini
que, Cochin China, and Canada. III til is respect
they are in striking contrast to the Englishman.
who imposes his civilization and his roast beef
wherever he goes becomes rooted to the place
of his adoption, and gets the upper hand III the
direction of affairs. The Frenciman, political
and intellectually, degenerates on foreign soil.
The CI eoles once masters of Louisiana, gradu-
ally lost their political ascendency as they came
in contact with aggressive, active public-spirit-
ed American, and for many years they have not
held the reins of power, although there have
been instances of individual prominence. Their
history shows the same decadence in their re-
spective callings whetherin art, science trade or
agriculture. Wherever the American enters the
llsta with the Creole, in no matter what pro-
fession. the latter generally retires from the
contest beaten. Every year the leading places
i'll commerce, banking, sugar growing, aud the
principal professions are being taken up by the
AIericanized Anglo. Saxons, to the exclusion Of
the descendants Of the original settlers, who are
now dropping into subordinate places, such as
Oyerseers, bank clerks, levee clerks, and munici-
pal scribes. 1t is the fashion among the youn-
ger to attribute their retrogresson to the war,
but it began long before hOstilities broke out be-
tween North and South. 1t is rarely that one of
hem admits that the decadence ID owing to
tace and education. To the thinking American
1t Ii evident. This race of Creoles has lost the
yltlty OF its prime, and is sinking into old age.
This tendency may for a time bo retarded, but
may not be arrested, for time is inexorable with
race as with an nindividual.-Atbert hhoneS IN
