The recent advicos from I MIA give
Information of an alarming increase in
tho suffering among The poorer classes.
Districts hitherto not affected by the
famine are at last sucoumbine
the small stores of provisions pos
scssed beng rapidly exhausted. The
generous efforts Of tho relief organiza.
tions- are not sufficient to stay the fam
inc, although they arc seconded by tho
government mental authorities. The
expenditures already made to relieve
the suffering amount to several million
dollars, and large demands for the future
have been requested.

sidered.

Too low anAestimato is apt to be set
on tho domcaSp value of newspapers.
After readiugIE them, and putting our
selves, through their agency, in mental
correspondence with tho world, thoy
are thrown aside and forgotten. But
to suppose thoir usefulness bounded by
their news columns aad the waste ba <
is thriftless mistake.
In the first face, there are the houu-
hold reoipou, to be found in stray cor
ners, often excellent, and deserving
refuge on tho fly leaf of the family
cookbook. Then come tho pretty
verses, the strange and droll stories
the brief biographies and "reminiscences
which, pasted in a scrap book, arc
source of never ending pleasure not
only to those Who do not care for richor
intellectual food, but to those who havo
only odd minutes for reading.
Notwithstanding the squibs jooular
journalists have ponncd on the use Of
newspapers for bed clothiug, wo know
from experience that there arc not to be
deBpiscd. They may not be as comcor-
table as your blankets, but certainly
they keep out the cold. Two thick
nes'e0 of papers are better than a pair
Of blankets, and il the ease ofp,rsons
who dislike the y&isht of many bed
clothes, they are Ealuob.e. A spread

ahouli be tackled together with, und al

from slipping. An objection has been
made on acc cunt Of the rus,liny, but if
soft papers ho chosen the noise will not
be annoying, especially should the
spread be laid betwceu a blanket and

Asa protection to plants against col d
both in and out of doors nothing is bet
ter. If newspapers are pinned up over
night at window between pots and
glass, the flowers will not only not be
frozen, but will not even got chilled !,
20 they arc SO liable to be at this sea
son. In the same way, if taken to cover
garden beds, on the frosty nights of
enrly autumn, they will allow tho plan
to remain safely out doors soms time
later than is common.
One Of tho oldest services to put our
journals to is the keeping of ice in sum
NOR. An ingenious housek eoper recent
ly discovered that her daily lump Of
ice would lost nearly twice as long when
wrapped in newspapers, and placed In
any kind Of covered box, as when trust
ed solely to refrigerator. This is
very convenient, since it is possible to
have the best and cheapest refrigerator
constantly at hand
To polish all kinds of glass after
washing, except table glass, no cloth or
flannel is half so good as newspaper;
and for bakers dozen of other uses,
quite foreign to its primal purpose, it is

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY JANUARY 2e 1874

day before. SO that little speech would
be in order. He gave his reasons
for the motion. but as he was not
unfortunately. able to make himself sufi
ciently persuasive, the Senate refused &c
consent 70 a reconsideration. The re,
porter Of the REPUBLICAN. as we think,
judiciously, omitted full report of the
speech in which the motives and inten.
tons OF another Senator were alluded to
| and left the action in the case to be stated
| by the official minute clerk.
But the Times and Picayu,e had re.

nearly all his report TO this one matter.

rival Fusion journals. and they snapped
greedily at what looked like q small FAM
lily quarrel.
And now comes Mr.. Burch with person.
al explanation, in the course of which he
accuses our reporter with having ''garbled"
the proceedings Of the Senate. We do
not, perhaps, fully understand the mean
ing Of the word quoted. At least we do
not understand the meaning given to it
by the honorable Senator from Baton
Rouge. We do not instruct our reporter
to write down everything that is said. for
sometimes in the heat of debate honorable
gentlemen become ;ndiscreet and say
things which rejoice the hearts of
our enemies. Our reporter being
man Of prudence wisely suppresses
such utterances. and takes note only
Of the actual business which is ac-
c omplished when the subject is under
CO nsideration. We entertain high opin- !
ion Of Mr. Burch. as we'll as.oi other Re-
publican Senators. But we place the good |
Of tn party above them all, and instruct
our agents to give no publicity to impru-
dent remarks which can only do harm. |
But we do not understand this to be |
,arbling. 1t is only dividing the useful
rom the superiuous.

PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS.

Henry Clay remarked toward the close
of his long and useful life that though he
had been a member Of Congress. either
in the House or Senate, for thirty years
he had never risen TO persona. explana-
ton. He gave his reasons at the time for
such a manifestation OF self-abnegation.
but as they were lengthy and satisfactory.
besides being well known to all students
Of American history. we need not
repeat them. It may be said. how.
ever. in this connection that Mr..
Clay failed in the great objec: Of his life.
He was never President. though he may
have been always right. Some Of our
modern statesmen. however. have de-
parted somewhat from the practice Of
their great exemplar. for the reason. per-
haps. If no better. that they can not
worse their chances. and rise TO personal
explanations. either in Congress. the State
Legislatures OF other politica! bodies SO
frequently as to suggest the suspicion tina.
they feel called upon to improve the ne.
elected chances Of the great commoner.
No doubt there are times when it is abb
solutely proper and necessary for mem.

the time of the body Of which he is use.
full and deserving member with explana-
tons of personal character. Our friend,
Senator Burch, seems to have found him
self in some such a position yesterday
morning, and he improved the opportu-
nifty. In the Senate the day before there
had been just the faintest approach to a
little scene. An honorable Senator be-
trayed desire to wash some dirty linen,
and hence moved for reconsideration of
. resolution which bad been adopted the

The habitations Of these laborers al
thus described:

Ane 1aDitatlONS OF these laOOrerS are
thus described:
tenement house hives population
often exceeding a hundred. The narrow.
close rooms are without trace of comfort.
A filthy floor, table strewn with the re.
mains of several meals, a greasy coOk-stOve,
the sights and smells of the kitchen and
bedroom mingled in confusion, is the home
to which most labOring men return.
Lite in these rooms is the lonelest mag
inable The life of each family seemed abso
lutely bounded by the walls of their own
room. They know nOlhing of each other;
never visit from room to room; are without
anything which approaches to social inter-
course.
This is certainly dismal .ec;ta! Of the
rewards of labor.
Without taking sides in the controversy
between capital and labor in Louisiana.
we may remark that labor here possesses
advantages that are denied i: elsewhere.
1. Our climate is SO mild as TO enable
the laborer TO dispense with a cost of
clothing and fue! indispensable in colder
ATTITUDES.
2. A prime element of living in the
cities is rent. This is much more moder.
ate in Louisiana.
3. Our vegetable food is almost Of per-
petual growth, and with free markets it
would be the cheapest land to live in
which is found within the limits Of the
Union.
From this reasoning We are confirmed
in our opinions that the labor question in
Louisiana is embarrassed by the exeep-
tional expenses Of the planter. and that
the compensation of the laborer would be
made satisfactory if the profits Of the
planter can be increased by the reduction
Of these expenses. With proper facilities
on the part Of the iaborer- whether b be
a cotter or small farmer he can save
far more on twenty dollars month, or
five dollars week, with rations. than
New York laborer can on fourteen dollars
week with the attendant expenses.

one of the members from the country, in
the hope, perhaps, that a little ieniency
would be accepted as an inducement by
the delinquents to discharge their duties
as citizens. But when the majority of the
! House came 70 conside. that many, if not
the majority of those in arrears. are amply
able to pay. and that some Of them have
presumed upon the clenency of the
General Assembly, and even boosted
that they would not pay so long as
there was chance o; persuading
the Legislature TO let them of. they came
TO the conclusion that it was best to trea:
all alike. 1t is the opinion of those who
have had experience in such matters that
an act remitting the penalties denounced
by law upon delin9uents would tend to
swell the number tor the coming year to
undue proportions. The provision al.
ready made. permitting two-thirds Of all
the back taxes to be paid in Auditors
warrants. which rule very low in the mar
ket. is deemed concession enough to an
element that can not lay claim TO the
highest excellence in the scale Of citizen.
ship. The best thing those gentlemen
can do, who have been using the money
long since due to the State. is to look |
around without delay for warrants enough |
to cancel their liabilities. The fact that
there are back taxes enough due the city |
and State to pay nearly half the public |
debt is enough of itself to prevent favor
able response to an appeal in favor Of !
those who refuse to pay. If the State
were made up Of such laggards there !
would soon be an end Of government.

DAY LABOR IN NEW YORK.

The recent assemblage of ten thousand
! men in New York, TO demand work OF
bread, has led to minute inquiry into
the state Of the day laborer in that city.
The New York World has investigated
the wages and expenses of the working
classes, with great care. and has elimi-
mated certain items Of fixed and positive
cost, and thence deduced the minimum,
both Of living and wages. Naturally. the
World attempts TO give party effect to
these results. It is 70 prove that the
tariff has caused this close approximation
Of wages to subsistence. With this theory
we have nothing to do. There is one
principle established. 1t is. that the en-
ployer will fix the price of labor at rate
which leaves the laborer but subsistence
and grave. II the cost Of food. rem.
and fuel be cheap. the employer will re-
duce wages. IF these elements advance,
he must allow the laborer more. That
labor, especially where it is redundant,
should be the slave Of capital. is a
fixed truth. in Europe and in America.
Here are some of the figures by which
the World shows these facts:
Ifa laborer receives regularly sli week,
his family have enough of food. and with
their standard Of dress fully enough for
clothing. But a man once embarked on it
never gises. He can save tho pittance
which makes old age easier 20 a man of his
ample desires, and this is all. This is more
than lies within the compass OF clerk ON
The same salary.
1t is explained tina. this process Of
saving is very slow. It will take four
7ears to save one hundred dollars at fifty |
'ents week. Blu. sickness and death are !
which will sweep away the earn
ngs of years at a stroke.
