the fact that there are thousands Of
true and honest men among the short
hairs, and that these have favorftoe ana
leaders Of their own. worthy In all
respects worthy by reason of thefr fns
tegrity, capacity and patriotism to oc-
cupy public place. At the same time,
the boys, should realize the fact that
merchants, property holders and tcapi-
talists, have vast interests at stake ~
the community interests which require
that only men OF intelligence and Of the
highest integrity shall administer the
affairs Of the State. parish and city, and
that with these they should coroperate
In the selection of such men. shG1 t
e \ Between the different classes OF tho
community there should be no antago-
nisms. The ring men among the mer-
chants, and the bummers among the
working people, are alike the enemies
or Louisiana and OF New Orleans. The
ring men are probably the deadliest
enemies Of the State. Upon the other
hand, the good men Of all classes are
not only essential to our material
progress, but they are necessary to
the greatness and glory OF our coun-
try and to the preservation OF
our free institutions. It is only In
countries where the "silk stockings"
and the "short hairs, " IL our friends will
pardon us the use OF these terms, stand
upon footing OF political equality
that free institutions attain their ma
turity and preserve their vigor. II the
merchant and the capitalist create the
wealth Of the republic and contribute
to its enterprise. the "short hairs" give
to our politics that strength, vigor and
intensity which makes them the life
blood Of our institutions, and prevents
the decay Of constitutional liberty. De-
prive this class of the people, in any
country, Of their right to participate in
public affairs and establish an oligar-
chy, and government loses its vigor and
the seeds Of degeneracy take root in its
system. Writing upon this very subject

J CLASS PARTIES.

There never has been a large city in
which there was not an element OF the
population inimical to the public good,
and whose influence in politics It was not
.necassary in the interest OF the State to
limit and restrain. 1t Is very grave
mistake, however, on the part OF those
who believing that the Objectionable
element Is confined to any one
olass .of the community, and who
hope to remedy the evil by
,conhding the offices and control Of the
Goysrnment to other special classes or
intetests. However distinguished by po-
alton or property, it must be borne in
mind that, In the rights Of freedom we
AM III equal. and, as Americans, the
lSeet Considerable among us has an
qter6yt equal to the proudest in the
taNi ana Constitution Of the country.
E6t fact u fundamental in our sys-
tam, and whom, acting upon the
theory that all public virtue and all
.capecity, Tor affairs are confined to pro-
pefty. holders. Eerchants and capital.
ists, a effort is made to organize politi-
cA combinations to exclude other
,clssseS d the people from position, and
10 ADVANCE only the representatives Of
these, q movement is begun which can
zNcomplish no good end and may pro-
tdu0e the most calamitous results.
It II very much to be regretted that
there Il a strong tendency in this COM
RNAity t6 do this very thing. That
ttSft are men seeking positions for
Wni6h they are in some cases unfit, and
~ 6ehers utterly unworthy. Is true. But
the. organization OF parties in the city,
Mod upon class distinction, would be
u calamity Infinitely greater than the
success or these men. Good results
cannot be accomplished by arraying
the different classes of the community
Into Mctions for the promotion OF in
diytduals, however worthy, to public
position., BY such organizations the
good men, Of different elements OF the
population wi1l be opposed to each
,0thSr,f and the schemers, tricksters,
THgsters and bummers in each will
control It. y wy t'''
= IN 3, free country there is but one
practicable plan by which bummers
end corruptionists can be put down,
and that Is BY all honest men in a politi.
ical party ,exerting their rightful and
proper influence In political affairs to
the end that proper men may be placed
II control 81 the government; and 1t
should be . maxim in every country
IN which the ballot is free, that the man
Who neglects or declines his duty in this
respect Is an enemy of the State. @i
!, Proper men will not be elected to the
parish onices Of Orleans and to the
Legislature from this city by organizing
the people into 'silk stockings" and
