Snitllss brought his two weeks spree
to a close on Thursday night. He
lay on lounge in the parlor, feeling
as mean az sour lager, when some
thing in the corner Of the room at.
tracted his attention. Raising on his
elbow. he gszed steadily at it. Rub
bing his eyes. he stared again, and, as
he stared, his terror grew. Calling his
wife, he asked hoarsely: "Mirandy,
what is that?" "What is what, Likey?'
Sniffies' name is Lycurgus, and his
wife calls him Likely for short and
sweet. "Why, hat-that-thing in
the corner" said the frightened man,
pointing at it with hand that shook
like politician. "Likey, dear, I see
nothing" replied the woman. "Whati
You don't see it'll" he shrieked. "Then
I've got 'em. Oh, heavens! Bring me
the Bible, Mirandy. bring it quick!
Here-here, on this sacred book, I
swear never to touch drop of whis-
key. II I break my VOW, may my
right hand oleave to the roof OF my
mouth, and" Here catching an.
other glimpse of the terrible object. he
clutched his wife and begged in pite-
Gus tones: 'Don't leave me-don't
leave your Likely" and burying his
face in the folds of her dress, he
sobbed and moaned himself into a
troubled sleep. Then his wife stole
gently to the corner. picked up the
toy snake. and threw it into the stove.

STATESMEN WANTED,

There is not-there, perhaps, never has
been-a class of men in Louisiana who de.
voted their thoughts to the welfare of So
ciety. Ambitious politicians have always
abounded, whose objects are bounded by
the horizon of patronage, and who see
nothing beyond personal elevation to
the highest point of political promotion.
Were there such statesmen, they would
recognize the fact that the commercial
position of New Orleans has been cap
tured By rival cities; that her mighty river
is no longer the sole highway of trade
They would see and say that revolution
which has confscated the labor of the
slave to the use of the freeman, and estab-
lished at. least the universal equality of
individual toll, required a system of in
dustry and investment adequate to sustain
the people under such change.
It would seem that the necessity of en-
ploying the whole population would have
suggested some device for providing all
with employment according to the meas
ure of their several ability.
Nothing, however, has been done ex-
cept to ring again the rusty ana cracked
fire bell Of politics and rush into the cam
pdgn with social antagonism which
efectually destroys any confidence upon

BOLD WORDS.

Did Providence inspire Morse TO apply
the vital force of the universe to transmit
the thoughts Of man for moral purpose?
We sometimes think twas an evidence of
divine care for this republic. The tele-
graph. has destroyed the profits made by
adroit SPECTATORS upon the ..laborers and
consumers Of the republic. 1t has laid
bare the devices by which the combina-
tons Of dishonest men have employed the
trusts Of popular government for the pur-
poses of private gain- The extraordinary
and unblushing plenary indulgence given
to all voters to entertain the most opposite
opinions, without detriment to their sup
port of Democratic nominee, could never
have been exposed but for this providen-
tial agency. The hourly exposure of this
fragrant fraud has struck with mortifca-
ton and disgust those members of the
Democratic party who have really the
capacity to comprehend principle, and
the patriotism to maintain it.
This conviction has inspired the utter
ance of some bold words. The New York
World is FESTIVE and recusant. It will not
down AZ the bidding Of those who have
contracted to deliver the Democratic vote
in 1876. The World goes back to the
time when the Democracy adopted aboli-
ton and protection. 1t says:
In 1872 We went into the contest for the
Presidency with the best cause that ever
party had, but with candidate who req.
resented nothing (apart from '.claspiny
hands across the bloody chasm') except
what was antagoaistic aud repulsiye to De.
mocrscy, and with platform that resem-
bled the farrago Of teggar's basket.
1t then reiterates this shameful incon-
sistency with a power of opposition far
superior to that which the New Orleans
REPUBLICAN, has SO frequently presented.
Here is what the telegraph had exposed
and the World had placarded:
If the Democratic party be no more wise.
no more substantially founded, no more |
fixed in its principles and rules of action |
than it was in 1872, we shall have in 1876 |

Yet the capacity of New Orleans for
these mixeds industries has bean. dsuon-

manufactures and shipping. is indisputa-
bic. We have seen that there have been
no industrial strikes. here, only.the col
ofed people have been politically stricken.
We see that In 'Psnnsylvania the miners
had been for months in state of insur-
rectlon, and that recently there had been
'free fights, shooting and assassinations,"
IN course Of which five or six men were
killed or deperately wounded
In Massachusetts there have been labor
strikes during the whole yeas, and recently
there has been refusal to work at Fal,
River, which has suspended the wages of
fifteen thousand operatives in cotton
alone, and this in a city Of forty-five thou
sand population. The monthly gay roll
OF these strikers is four hundred and six
teen. thousand dollars They. produce
1888, 125, 900 yards Of cloth, with an in
vestment Of about fifteen millions OF
dollars. This cloth averaged at fifteen
cents yard would be worth more than
fifty millions of dollars and would be the
product of about two hundred thousand
bales of cotton. These Fall River capt.
talists and operatives make more money
and support more people en- the manutac-
ture Of two hundred thousand bales Of
cotton than New Orleans does on the re-
ceipt and shipment Of five times that
quantity. This vast product is made for
Lowell with the labor Of class of people !
