THE PEOPLE DEMAND REFORMS.

Even at the risk of seeming importunate,
we can not refrain from again urging upon
1 the Conservative and Democratic members OF
the Legislature the pressing necessity Of push
ing on their measures of reform with the
least possible delay. What legislation is
needed by the State at large, by this city and
by the parishes, is well known to them. Ihey
know that the thoughts and hopes OF hun
dreds of thousands of citizens are turned
anxiously and hopefully to the General As
sembly, in the eager desire that their agents
NAV find some safe means of relieving the
State of the heavy load which unfrlendly and
unprincipled predecessors have imposed.
Citizens of Louisiana, over-burdened with
taxes, demand thatithe PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF the
State shall be disencumbered of the costly
machinery by which they are trammeled and
that the proceeds of the school tax shall
accrue without diminution, embezzlement or
diversion to the cause of public education
They demand that exorbitant SALARIES and
FEES shall be brought down to just moder-
ate and economical level. They demand laws
that will guard the PUBLIC FUNDS against
wanton waste and criminal misappropriation.
They demand for the great metropolis REsro-
RATION OF rights and functions which have
been usurped and abused by an intrusive
State government.
They demand that the State shall no longer
force the city to maintain a STANDING ARMY of
brigaded policemen. They demand that
PUBLIC PRINTING shall no longer be made
monopoly for the sole benefit of printing
ring. They demand the abolishment Of
supernumerary courts. They want fair as
sessment and faithful COLLECTION OF TAXES
by honest neighbors of their own choice.
These demands are serious in character and
most urgently preferred. They are just and
reasonable and are most earnestly insisted on
by the class of citizens who love justice and
are guided by reason.
Time flies and the sands Of the session are
flowing away. What can be done must be
done quickly. What is delayed until the last
days of the session may be considered as
failure. No good or complete bill need be ex'
pected to pass, unless introduced before the
last week of the allotted sixty days. To &C
complish what may be possible, the Conserva-
tives should have their share Of the work
matured at an early day. They will thus be
in an attitude to say: "These are the reforms
demanded by the people, and upon these it is
our duty to insist"
We must not rest contented with censuring
the Radicals as the authors of bad laws-we
must do what we can towards perfecting the
necessary measures of relief ourselU es and
then the failure to perfect those measures will
rest upon the heads of the Republicans. We
must be careful too not to waste precious
time fighting wind mills. The attempt to &C
complsh the impossible is evidence of either
puerility on demagogism. There are
enough of plain practicable reforms to engage
the attention of the Legislature every moment

A RADICAL MISTAKE.

Already the Radical press of the country
are taunting the Democratic party with q lack
Of harmony in their councils, and basing
their hopes in great measure, upon the be-
lief that the Opposition" will no. rally in &C.
cord soon enough to accomplish the defeat of
radicalism, they take occasion to be very joy
Gus over the prospect of success ia the ap-
preaching campaign.
It has been well said that she laughs best
who laughs last" and the cohorts Of Radical
ism are evidently DESTROYS of enjoying the
next election in some way; better the JOY OF
anticipation than the chagrin of defeat, SO
they are merry in advance. The Democratic
party has too much at stake to allow itself to
become divided on questions of minor i'm
portance, and if differences of opinion as to
candidates or policy exist now, it is only to
secure the opinions and advice of the leading
men Of the party, before the standard-bearer
is chosen.
When the time for the election comes it will
be seen that the Democratic forces are array
ed in one solid phalanx with the banner Of
"Honest Reform" at their head, and their
march to victory will assuredly be rapid and
resistless.
That would indeed be wonderful House of
Representatives who could in few short
months remedy all the evils accomplished by
the Radicals during long term of years, and if
they move slowly we hope it is butt make their
labor we'll advised, and truly remedial in its
character. When the Radicals were in pos
session of the Lower House they always had
the cooperation of the Democrats in all
measures promising good to the country, but
now the Radical minority seem to conceive
their duty to be, the throwing Of ali obstacles
in the way of honest and beneficial legisla-
ton for the simple purpose of annoying their
opponents in their labor Of love.
And vet because the Democratic majority
has not yet reformed all the abuses of power
for which the Radicals are justly charged, it
is pretended by their opponents that they
are not working in harmony. 1t is probably
lust as we'll to allow that false impression to
exist among our enemies, but let it cause
MS to be even more determined to
allow no sectional or minor issues
to intrude themselves upon the party
to the detriment Of the success of the grand
scheme of the Democracy, thorough reform

VOYAGE across the Pacific. forty of them
died. In the overland Journey from Cali

leaving only seventeen goldfish out of the
seventy TO arrive at their destination. The
goldfish are of Il rich red color. and in APP
pcarancr bear but little resemblance to the

Two fish in this collection are noted for
their size. deep red coloring, intcrspcrscd
with gold jint> and white spots. with their
fins extending over two inches. and re-
Scmbling go>samer and the finest silk floss.

the Centennial has requested Mr.. Gill to
allow the fish to be exhibited at the Japan
csc Bazaar 1t the Centennial Exposition.
The Commissioner did not believe that
the japanese fish could be imported, and
for that reason the japanese government
abandoned the idea OF sending any to the

HENS EATING EGGS-A CuRE.-A cor
respondent of the Pout1y Bulletin saws ::
Having seen the question asked how to
cure hens from eating eggs, and having
been put to my wits end to devise some
means to stop them. finally by accident
hit upon 4 plan that l have never known
10 fail. One great trouble with many
breeders l.. they make their hens nests
too large, and with Brahmas and Cochins
the nests are near the ground and in
many cases the eggs are in view of the
hen. This was the case with nv nests
Having tried every available stuff such as
pepper, mustard, turpentine and every
thing | could hear of. but no cure then
took a common nail -keg cut it in two. or a
piece about eight inches high. and placed
it in the box where the hens laid. then
put IN an egg; the old hen mounted the
nest or keg and tried to reach the egg,
standing on the edge of the key, but it
was no go: she then got down in the keg.
but that was Il failure, for she did not have
room to get at the egg; after trying for
some time she gave it up as :, bad Job. I
have never had an egg eaten by the hens
since then; all Of the nests in my coops
have piece of n keg in the box, and have
parts Of kegs for nests. DO not make
them too deep, but deep enough SO that
the hen cannot reach the bottom when
standing on the edge of the ker. You
that arc troubled with hens eating their
eggs, try the plan; it costs but little, and I
think You will never regret the trouble it
will be to outwit the old hen.
