The Franco.American Union.

A committee has been formed under
this title in Paris for the purpose OF
erecting colossal statue of Liberty en-.
tightening the world. The statute is to
commemorate the hundredth year OIL
American independence, and is to be
placed on one Of the islands in Long Is.
land Sound. The names connected with
the Committee are of great renowln.
Lafayettee, Laboulaye, Wolowski and
de TOcqueville are among them. NJ.
Bartholdi, French Ministerto this coun.
try, the Marquis de Noailles and Mr.. Il.
b. Washburne are honorary presidents
Of the association, and public subscrip-
tion has been opened to raise the neces-
sary funds. r
All this is very agreeable to hear. But
If the monument is to have any signiti-
cance at all, a more convenient spot for
It's erection should certainly be selected.
The distinguished Frenchmen compos-
ing the committee may be pardoned for
not knowing what sort of piece Of wa
ter Long Island Sound is, and what
lot of incongrupus little islands are In
1t. They might possibly think The Sound
to be q kind OF lake Of Bois de Bou-
logne--a nice fancy pond around which
masses of people assemble every day.
Mr.. Washburne, however, though the
only only American among them, ought
to have been able TO prevent the men,
tion of any such place for the erection
OF a monument of this nature. A stat<
ue embodying the idea of a union be-
tween the two nations ought to have for
Its site the Central. Park or Madison

most cases out of debt, but that they are
SO comfortably situated as to be able TO
support themselves and pay the ex-
psnses of the years labor and farm
Work without sacrifice of the crop OF
the year. This fact is not only encour-
aging, but of especial Significance. The
great curse of the Southern farmer has
been, in majority of cases, that he has
raised bat the one product, and that he
has, through the habit of incurring
debts during the growing season, been
obliged to market it as soon as
possible in order to pay these liabilities.
The announcement that the farmers are
able to keep their cotton and sugar over
for higher rates, show that the plan of
growing more oflhe neeessar aries OF life
and keeping out OF debt is being adopted
in the South. These were the two re-
forms most needed, and with the i'm
provements which are already being
made, they will result in the bringing
about of better times for not only Louis
lana, but every State that follows the ex-
ample.

LATE MEXICAN advices give accounts
of the meeting of Congress and the open
ing speech of President Lerda De Tejada.
THO President could we'll and honestly
congratulate Mexico on the prevailing
state of affairs there, for it is said that
the business depression and general stag.
nation of trade which has touched all the
rest Of the world, not even missing China
and Japan, has not in the least affected
Mexico. Business there is better than
usual, the country is in state of peace,
people are paying attention to education
al matters and integral improvements,
and there is a feeling everywhere oi
'buoyancy and general prosperity. Truly,
Mexico, which has suffered SO much al
the hands of political agitators, is now to
be congratulated. q tH s-t

THERE is trouble again on our South
ern border, and the MeXicans are anx-
ious to help crush out the hostile Indi-
ans. There is perfect love-feast down
there between the Mexican and United
States troops. Gen. Ord seems rather
proud of this extraordinary Mexican
manifestation of friendship, but the peo
pie along the border would rather see
some of it shown in the punishment Of
their own robbers and murderers that
are captured on the Rio Grande.

THE agitation in Japan, under the in
fuence of European and American ideas,
instead OF declining as time advances,
continues to grow in interest, and every
mail brings us word Of some change in
the political or social relations of the
country. The very interesting letter we
published Thursday contained one i'm
portant statement, which has never re-
ceived much attention, If thought of at
all, by other correspondents: that is,
that as the Japanese become educated
to the necessities aud requirements of
trade, it becomes more difficult for the
foreigner to do business there. The
native understands his own people,
knows how to deal with them, and when
he learns the rules and methods of do
ing business that govern the outside
world, he becomes rival with whom
the foreigner is unable to compete. The
Japanese merehantis. besides, person
OF economical habits and educated to
most inexpensive modes OF living, and
therefore accumulates faster on COM
paratively small profits. The foreigner
in Japan and China is most useful and
successful as teacher of the customs
and doings Of civilization, and the tend.
ency is to confine him to such duties.

comparative condition of New Orleans

entirely 'new measure" 1t is true
that the dodge" Of reporting new
bill was made use Of in order to bring
the matter before the House without
the aid of a two-thirds majority to take
the old one from the table, but. with
the exception Of striking out the

ses, the bill is essentially the same old

opposition to last fall. Although there
is nothing Objectionable" in the present

little consequence. Notwithstanding the
prominent part it played in the late

OBITUARY.

Died at the residence of his father, in Mid
dletown, on Feb. 18th, Harry Howell, aged
20 years, month and 20 days.
s'In the midst of life we are in DEATH"
Truly this scriptural injunction has been
literally fulfilled in the death Of the subject OF
this notice There is a solemnity at all times
attached to death, but more especially when
the young are stricken down. La the very
hey-day of youth with apparently long life
of usefulness before him, the summons came
and he is gone from among us. How solemniy
impressive the lesson taug ght us all, and par
ticulary the young, to set their house in
order; so that when the call is made, whether
it be in youth or old age we may be ready to
fold our drapery about MS and go to dwell
with God.
'sHe shall sleep, but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave;
Blessed be the Lord who taketh,
Blessed be the Lord who gave.
In the bright eternal city,
Death can never, never come;
In his own good time he'll call us
From our rest, to home, sweet home"
