ton acts lis only to repeat what become well known
as part OF Its unhappy history GRANTS Message
True as gospel every word of it The
confession is a wholesome one for Re-
publican President to make after the Re-
publican policy of reconstruction has had
an eight-years trial. The garbled state
ments by which Grant endeayors to fasten
the responsibility for this ''lawlessness,
turbulence and bloodshed'' upon the Loui-
siana Conservatives will deceive nobody,
but they do forcibly remind the country
that the task of restoring the South, which
the Republican party has hitherto been
kept in power to perform, remains upper
formed. The country knows painfully we'll
that there has been lanentable reign of
lawlessness in Louisiana, and is every day
learning more accurately who are the law
less persons who create it. The crime of
Louisianas woes is every day brought
closer to Kellogg and his coterie of knaves,
and to Grant, whose nepotism maintains
them. 1t is they who exhibit ''lawless-
ness. Southern states not cursed with
carpetbag rule and, above all, with presi.
dental brothers-in-law ambitious for
seat in the senate, have attained orderly
and stable government, and are ON the ad-
vance to prosperity. Louisiana will take
her place among such states so soon as
Democratic government at WASHINGTON
