Grants Conspiracy.

1t cannot we'll be conceived that Grant
has entered upon his revolution without a
full understanding with leading men of his
party. Such persons as Blaine, Morton,
Chandler and Phil. Sheridan must be par
ties to the game. No doubt the more radi-
cal members of the Republican party are
desperate enough to reaort to any means
whatever for maintaining their hold on
power; the only question is whether the
main body of their followers will sus-
tain them in revolutionary measures. They
have told Grant to feel the popular pulse,
and he is doing so with an army of occupa-
tion sent into two of the States.
OF course Gen. Grant does not proclaim
to the world that his forces are armies of
occupation. Oh, no! They are sent to pre-
serve peace and watch for fraud. That great
statesman, in making his prouunciamento,
puts himself on record as the purest of pa
triots. Either party, he says, can afford to
be defeated, but the nation cannot afford to
have the result tainted by the suspicion of
illegal or false returns. Therefore the
army takes charge.
This is very good idea for an imperial
government founded on the army. In all
personal governments the monarch relies
almost exclusively on his troops to maintain
his throne. If, out of respect to modern
ideas, he permits his subjects to go through
the form of elections, he provides invaria-
bly, for the result and sends his army to all
necessary points to see that no "fraud" is
perpetrated except on his eide.
In republic, however, the eupposition
heretofore has been that the army has no.
thing to do with the elections. In certain
extremely grave contingencies, the Federal
army, in this country, may be called to pre-.
serve the peace. 1t cannot have any other
connection with internal affairs. 1t has nc
conceivable relation to election frauds, and
yet Generalissimo Grant has instructed
Gen. Sherman, in regard to the employment
of his troops and officers "Should there be
any grounds of suspicion of fraudulent
count on either side, it should be reported
and denounced at once"
Hasit come to the point that our electionl
are to be held under military surveillanc,
and virtually overshadowed by the bayo

fraud, but who skall cay that the intent il

Cooper for President.

The influence of Mr.. Ford, of the 1riSh
World, may be estimated by the vote for
Cooper in New York. 1t was just 252 1t
may be fairly presumed that the unfortu
nate old man had somebody else to vote for
him besides Mr.. Ford and his following,
consequently the influence of the latter
gentleman in American politics must be
proportionately di counted. the fact ls
that Cooperism was a broad farce, impu-
dently aud daringly put forward as a
serious move by unscrupulous partizans
for the mere purpose of depriving
Tilden of votes which under no circum
stances could be got for Hayes. The fair
presumption is that the leading spirits of
the Irish World laughed in their sleeves at
old Cooper and voted for Hayes.
1t will be remembered that the Irish
World is published in New York, and it is
natural to suppose that the people who live
there have facilities for estimating it's in
sprations at their proper value. With
might and main the Irish World advocated
Mr.. Cooper's claims, and he got in New
York 252 votes Ont of these perhaps
twenty-five were cast by Irishmen-skir-
mishers. When we say skirmishers we
mean contributors to the fund, not the
treasurers thereof. Truly IAN is prophet
save in his own country. Why, even here
in New Orleans We have heard of good cit
liens, readers of the Hish World, who were
infected with Cooperism, and we scarcely
doubt that tPe list of these misguided
gentlemen considerably exceeded the New
York list of twenty five.
1t is very well to laugh at the non Ca
tholic public for its credulity in Spiritual
ism, fortune telling and other eupersttions,
but, apart from religious questions, Catho
lies are as liable as others to be caught by
chaff. 1t is on that ground only that we
can account for the success of such catch
penny enterprises as the Irish World.

The latest dispatches from South Carolina
aud Florida leave no doubt that both give
Democratic msjorities ranging from 1000 to
1000 votes.
Louisiana gives at least $500 majority for
Tilden and 1000 for Nichols. These figures
are based on official and semi ffcal returns
from all the parishes excepting four or FIVE,
which are estimated at figures acknowledged
to be correct by the Republicans. Friday
night the Republican managers figured out a
majority of only 1000 for the Radical ticket.
This result was reached by throwing ont the
votes of the Eve parishes of East and West
Felicians, East Baton Rouge, Ouachita and
Morehouse, which give Democratic majority
of 1900 and by altering the figures from other
parishes to suit themselves. But it is not
probable that the Returning Board will be
allowed to fix mp the returns according to this
programme. Already numbers CT prominent
men Q f both parties are on their way here from
the North and, in the present temper of the
people of this State, aud, in fact of the whole
country, we think it extremely doubtful that
the Returning Board will attempt to re-enact
the infamous scenes of 1872.

A VENERABLE ORANGE TREE The Paris
Unirers gives O contradiction to report that
had gone forth of the death of the most an
cient orange tree in the gardens at Versailles.
This remarkable specimen of horticultural
longevity is named 1e Grand Bourbon, and is
known to have attained the extraordinary age
of 457 years. Historical records prove that it
was planted at Pampeluna in 1421 by the Queen
of Navarro and was successively transp!anted
to Chantlly, Fon:ainebleau and Paris, ard
lastly to Versailles where it still honrishes and
bears fruit.

vada, Oregon, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and
Pennsylvania until we had grown happy in
the conviction that our world renowned
Returning Board wonld have no demand
made on it's magic powers of manufacturing
msjorites. We fondly comforted ourselves
with the thought that Louisiaua's vote
would not be wanted in the Democratic
balance.
Vain illusion! Brother keenan, bursts in
upon us in his dispatch OF Thursday last
with the announcement that we are
mustered into the forlorn hope. He says:
CHICAGO, Nov. 10, 1920 A. M.-Wisconsin is
hopelessly lost. Ali eyes and all hopes turn to
chisement the end is defeat for the hope of re-
form. The North will say God speed to q
cleaning out of the Packard Kellogg scoundrels.
The boast here is that Kellogg means to count
all the Democratic parishes out; the men who
do this should not DO permitted to desecrate
the earth. KEENAN,.
This sounds as though we were expected
to exterminate Kellogg, Packard, Warmoth
and the Returning Board, under pain of
being considered tame if we fail to do SO.
The time was when the doipgs of our Re-
turning Board were exclusively our own
affair, but we are not inclined to look upon
it in that light just at this time. We of
Louisiana think that, if call hopes turn to"
this State, somebody else must be interested
in fair count of it's vote. Why, therefore,
we should be expected to take the whole
responsibility of hanging Packard & Co., is
not precisely ineligible.
There can be no doubt that the quarrel
is this time not private concern of our
own but national one. 1t is question for
the whole Democracy of this country, and
is entirely matter for CO operation. 1t
the Northern Democracy will say authors-
tatively,-"c!ean them out" why the boys
down here will perform the JOB in the
shortest order, and with the greatest de-
light, but our good friend and ally of the
Chicago Times will excuse us from being
brash about it on a mere suggestion.
The fact is that an unauthorized and pre-
mature outbreak in Louisiana would be
very injudicious. II not sustained by the
active cooperation of the National Demo-
cratic party it would certainly be put down
by force of arms, and the mere war clamor
growing out of the collision might turn tho
popular current at the North in direction
so entirely sectional that the Democratic
party would find itself very much enfeeb-
led when the right time should come for ap-
pealing to force.
Oh, no! Prudence is the better part of
valor, aud common sense must be consulted
in order to win in the race of life. In
counsel there is wisdom, and in unity
strength. If force should be necessary to
repel usurpation, q combined and we'll
considered movement of the whole Demo
cratic party would soon settle the point. A
party composed to 30 great an extent of ma
bobs and thieves could not make serious
front against the bone acd sinew Of the
country.
