The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-08-06

There was no additional proof neces-
sary to establish the venality, treachery
and corruption OF the man who assumes
to be the sole Senatorial representative
of Louisiana. No man Is more fully
understood and appreciated than West
is by this community, as the most auda-
cious barterer Of votes and patronage,
and unscrupulous venalist ever known,
even In the circles OF the corrupt party
whose representative he is. IT such
confirmation were needed, however, It
will be found In his recent action In
the Senate, In shackling the small
appropriation of one hundred thousand
dollars for dredging the bar of the Mis-
sissippi with the proviso that the money
should not be applied to dredging any
other pass IL eighteen feet of water
should be obtained ut the mouth of the
river at South Pass. This proposition
means simply that the dredging at
Southwest Pass, the present safe and
certain exit for our shipping shall cease
when Mr.. Eads secures eighteen feet at
the lower bar OF the South Pass.
without regard to the water on
the upper bar, at the passes
where Eads finds his great difficulty in
establishing sufficient depth for the
demands Of our commerce. This is to
be taken as Congressional construc-
tion OF the contract OF Eads, that he has
executed his contract and become en-
titled to his money, ii he can secure the
depth OF water required at the bar at
the mouth, leaving the upper bar at the
passes to be dredged at the expense of
the Government. Meantime,
good, safe and certain passage
at the Southwest Pass, made
SO by the dredging under Capt.
Howell is to be left. neglected and un-
dredged, to enable Eads to employ the
boats in helping him to do what he un-
dertook to do with his own means. No
wonder that so fragrant an outrage and
serious blow at the great commercial
interests OF this city has excited the in
dignation Of our whole mercantile pub
lie, and ELECTED petitions Of protest and
remonstrance from all classes. We fear
that they will not reach Washington in
time to arrest and defeat the pernicious
scheme and action, SO cunningly sprung
at the close Of the session by the cor
rupt schemer who devised it.
The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-08-06

was for the Danaides to fill their sieve
with water. It takes just one genera
tlon to conflsoate the earnings OF one
generation. Tho Government keeps up
with the productive and manufacturing
capacities Of the country, absorbs every
cent we make over and above bare
support. The impossibility Of laying
up any reserve fund. Of saving anything
from year TO year to meet q bad crop or
any public misfortune, Is tho cause Of
our late panios, the reason why we can
not escape from the present utter pros
tration of business. We have got
barely enough for today, "tho morrow
must look for ITSELF" Is the lesson our
present system Of taxation breaches.

~ EW lhLEANb, aug. u, 1910
Editor D,auoc,al Permit me. as one
who feels h deep interest IN the unity
and harmony OF our parish elections, 10
express dist ent from your suggestion of
the time at which our nominating con-
vention should be held
There are some crusading elements In
this parish whose existenco depends
entirely upon dissensions In the Demo
cratic Conservative party. They lie In
q sort Of political mud moral torpor
during the whole canvass. waking up
only TO scramble for positions ut the
nominating conventions, but IL is only
whom they and their friends full TO
crowd themselves into Office by loud
professions OF devotion to tho Democ-
racy or conservatism that they show
themselves In their truo character, and
clarnor for q third party to beat the
last ditchers."
It Is, perhaps, an admission bordering
nreproachfllness that human weak
ness often tempts men who sincerly de-
sire tho overthrow OF Radical rule, to
join such n movement, when they fall TO
obtain that recognition from their own
party that they feel entitled to. and
hence many 'soreheads" are led astray
under tho Influence Of personal ambi-
tion or resentment It therefore seems
TO mo that as little time as possible
should be given, In which these unfor-
tlinnte influences could organize any OPP
position to the regular ticket. One
month Is sufficient TO work. for the
ticket, and the canvass OF the merits OF
candidates should precede The nomina-
tons: II Is too late afterwards. Let us
have our convention on the first Monday
In October. Yours, DEMOCRAT.

The taxation Of the last eleven years,
years OF peace-at least they should
have been-years Of recuperation-at
least, the people so demanded-has been
81, 500, 900, 900. This is one fourth of the
entire property valuation of the Union :
one-fourth of all its wealth, manufac-
lures, fruits and productions Of all kinds,
confiscated in one decade. At such a
rate, in forty years, just one generation,
the governments, State and national.
will have completely absorbed all the
wealth, all the money Of this country.
1t thus stands, that the earnings Of
every citizen are taken forcibly from
him. 1t is impossible for man to lay
by anything for his children; the Gov
ernment will take it all. It Ia as i'm
possible to lay up competency as it

We thought It.; we expected IL. De
Rudio. our dc Rudio, IL the hero OF the
Littlc'Big Horn. He alone has escaped
alive, escaped with romantic, a thrill
ing, q blood curdling story, so full Of
romantic adventures, desperate courage
and perilous accidents, that II carries
away that usually guarded journal. the
New York Herald, to the extent Of four
columns. Such pretty tale, too, ms It
Is, with its chapters Of "the deserted
camp" "the whistling bullets" ''the
awful suspense, ""the thrilling adven-
ture," ''the dangerous mistake, 'the
scalping squaws." "tho crucible,' etc.
II sounds like good summer seaside
reading but. then. can we credit itp
DE Rudio has been on intimate terms
with our Louisiana Radicals" Ye can
not touch pitch, " etc. and such inter-
course u bad for man veracity. Then,
too, we are sorry TO notice that all the
incidents OF de Rudio's story bear u
singular. u strange resemblance to one
OF those Indian dime novels that 80 de-
light the youthful minds OF America. so
harrow up their blood and make their
hair to stand on end; and, In particular,
TO one "Onomoo" that we remember,
In days long past, was our delight and
joyss
Can it be that these adventures did
happen really, truly, honestly to de
Rudio? Or. Is 1t that he has spent the
long and lazy hours OF camp life read
ing these adventurous romances. until
no dropped asleep and dreamt them
over again with himself as hero.
We are unwilling TO do the valorous
lieutenant injustice, but we distrust
him nightly. and his story as well. II
has too much OF the dime novel tinsel

dioist to be quite credible. Cannot he

The New York Herald having sus-
pended the Hamburg affair, just for one
day, burst out in terrible TRADE
about homo matters, home murders
and home massacres.
Robbery walks rampant in the streets
OF New York Greece, Sicily, even
louisiana, with their banditti and brig
ands. are safer than the Island OF Man
haitian. The burglars are fully organ
lied. go armed TO their work, and slay
whomsoever dares attempt to interfere
with them. There are, 1t confesses, four
burglars in prison for killing citizens,
who had attempted to prevent their
property from being taken off; four
teen who have committed similar mur-
ders and walked off without undergo
ing even "a few weeks Of confinement.
The worst is that the police are in
league with the thieves.
Says the Herald: t.f lai.
Bands OF pickpockets patrol the streets day
and night, Jump on the cars and jostle citizens
on the sidewalks without molestation, Most
stgnincAnt OF all. there Is personal acQuaint-
ance between the police and the thieves which is
very demoralizing. They walk on Broadway
and recognize each other under sort Of pleas
But this, though disagreeable, is but
. small feature to the hundred epidem-
les that are now raging in New York.
The city is mighty hot bed Of disease
and fllth, and fever, and now boasts
twice as great in morality as New Or
leans. Greedy contractors and jobbing
officials combine to make place like
Harlem flats the miasmatic terror Of
three hundred thousand people who
live within reach OF its sickening odors.
Such is the showing Of the New York
Herald for one morning: burglars muir
dering the rich; pestilence, disease and
famine slaughtering the poor; the des-
pairing, threatening cry of unemployed
laborers, bread or blood" rottenness
in Office and government. Are all these
stories true, or are these the Herald's
sensational and hyperbolical stories
II 1t shall be exaggerated, the people of
the North may credit a.similar exagger-
alton to the Herald's somewhat bloody
Southern news. II it be not, we think
it might wen be suggested to the Man
hattanese and the New York Herald,
:. Physician, heal thyself."
A thorough union Of all the good citi-
7ens OF New York, denunciation of the
officers to whom these horrible massa-
cres are due. a strong, vigorous public
opinion, q little energy and work would |
cure these evils. We hope to see the
New Yorkers yindicate their manhood
and put an end to such scenes as these.
