DISCREDITS ITSELF.

We quoted day or two since from the
Democrat an incidental fact to show that
there were people SO much embittered
against republican government that ''there
are millions of US who would be willing to
exchange our miserable, vile and corrupt
republican government for an empire. p"
The Democrat charges the REPUBLICAN with
having "devoted over o column of its
space to charging that the Democrat favors
landed aristocracy or an empire" If
the language quoted from the Democrat
does not prove the allegation as to the
empire, there is no meaning in words and
no faith in declaration.
When, therefore, the Democrat says
''the charges are fully refuted by the
simple fact that the REPUBLICAN makes
them;' since the charge that the Democrat
favored an empire" rested simply upon
the assertion of the Democrat itself, we
suppose that in discrediting the charge
it disavows the sentiment When, there
fore, the Democrat said that millions of
US would be willing to exchange our
miserable, vile and corrupt republican
government for an empire, did it intend
such deception that those who repeated
its declaration were not to be believed?
Is the credulity of a witness to be de-
stroyed by simply quoting Democratic
Such is the dilemma in which
the organ of the White League has placed

have men who have been successful in
obtaining the nomination and even ap-
pointment to Office been compelled to fly
from the field of their own duties. They
could not have been in all cases the choice
of the local Republicans, because in some
instances the local Republicans acquiesced
in the substitution of other officers.
Conining ourselves to the State of
Louisiana, we have no hesitation in re-
ferring to the known and often expressed
wish of Governor Kellogg that much of
this municipal patronage should be re-
mitted here, as in other States, to popu-
lar election. We can not expect this
amendment of the law or constitution at
present, but candidates for the Office of
Governor on both sides can say that, if
elected, they will respect the nomination
OF local officers by the local voters in
preference to that of the local politicians,
who seize on and virtually dictate the
appointment to all local Offices.
These club nominations of sberiffs. con
stables, tax collectors, and of all other
officers appointable by the executive,
should constitute the highest credentials
Of candidate. They would afford full
vindication of the appointing power from
any unfortunate appointment. The
in such cases would fall
upon the local club which was deceived
in the man, and it would not fall. through
the executive upon the whole party.
The spoils belong to the people. It is
for them TO determine who shall repre-
sent them from police juror 70 the Prssi-
dent. Let them, therefore, II their club

ments of duty. But as to the debt the
Republicans have stopped the hemor-
rhage, and they alone can effect the cure.
Let the Conservative people Of Louisiana
look at this great work; let them acknowl-
edge the relief which they receive from
the burden of debt and taxation, and they
will hesitate to discard party which has
shown itself so resolute in behalf of the
property as well as the rights Of the peo-
pie. Let the Republican party take heed
that it confides its confidence to men who
will maintain this honest and economical
policy.
Alarmed, then, with the violence of the
Democracy, and content with the past
conduct of the Republicans, the Conserva-
tive planter will thus address the colored
electors in his employ: ':Boys, I do not
NEEDLE in politics, but I want good men;
l am afraid these White Leaguers will get
us into another war. I don't like the
Radicals and carpet baggers, but as I
know the Republican ticket is composed

DEATH OF PhNL Elk.
The Protector of sunday Concerts In New
York. who Made nnd Lost Fortunes.

Paul Falk, who Il known "a the prOjec-
tor Of Sunday concerts, variety theatres, and
CHEAP places Of amusement In this city, died IN
bis house In st. Marks Place, yesterday, OF pa
ralysis. His life was chiefly remarkable for lts
financial successes and reverscs lie made and
lost fortunes. lie was born in Breslau, about
1880, and came to this city In ISL. At frat
he was the agent for the Reform, Ger.
man journal, and aftcrward he associated
himself with Gen. Scebachcr, the proprietor II
a German resort in the Bowerv. In 1853 he
started the nrst shooting gallery on the Bowery.
1t was In the old volk, Garden, now the Stadt
Theatre. From that he went into the manufac-
ture OF confectionery at 81 Bowery. In which no
cleared fortune. lie invested his money In the
broadway Garden. which he opened In 1859.
This was tho beginning OF series of ventures
In concert aud pretty water girl saloons.
Sunday concerts were given In the broadway
Garden, with Carl Bcrgmann "a leader OF tho
orchestra, and for four years the place yielded
enormous profits About l5o5 ho sttrted the
Lion Park Bclvodere, at a cost OF nearly S5J,ODO
Inc principal attraction was the open-air con-
certs given by Theodore Thomas. inc place
was a favorite spot for picnics and holiday par
ties. 1t prospored for two or three years, nut
at the end Mr.; Falk retired BANKRUPT
lem lane where hs OpCned the "WaldschlOss-
chem" or Castle In the Woods. but tho enter
prsc,was failure. Suoseaurntly he cond ncted
broadway. and IN 1870 he opened the " Volks
kitche In william street. with the money
he made thcre he again launched out into
concert saloon enterprises, and In 1879
he had the Columbia Garden In Greenwich
avenue, the Pavilion In Broadway, Victoria
Hall I'm Sixth avenue, now the Argyle Rooms,
and the Tiyoli Garden In ST.. Marks place, oil
going At the same time. In the livoli he cstah-
iished a variety show. and although the place
was packed nightly. it did not more than pay
the expenses OF the company. A church society
Ia seventh street complained against his place
for being open on SUNDAY, and for two years he
resisted all the efforts OF the police aud the Ex-
else Commissioners to close his place. His fight
with the authorities took all the money he
earned. In 1873 he opened Fax = Turtle Bay
Garden at forty-third street and First avenue,
and in June last he became proprietor of
"Volks GarJen" on the Bowery, which was
nrst Lindenmuler's Garden, and then Tony
Pastors Theatre.
Mr.. Falk died poor.
